A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - To Russia With Love

To Russia With Love

After seeing this poncho at LeLutka I couldn't resist putting together a Bond Girl style. 

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Warm Fuzzy

10-11-10-Zoe-Warm-FuzzyClos The leaves in Canada have changed and Thanksgiving is over once again for the year. Crazy how quick the year tends to pass. It is the start of those days were all I wanna do is cozy up at home under a blanket but warm enough in the afternoons to take off the coat.

This look was inspired by the cozy warm fuzzy of fall with the new unisex cardigan released by Reek.  Available in a wide range of colors the cardigan is easy to fit and comes with two sculpted sleeve options as well as narrow or wide waist for different shapes.

Going for multiple layers I matched up the cardigan with sweater vest and buttoned up shirt from League's teacher's pet set.  League is full of top notch clothing creations.

To keep the look flexible I went with the unisex shortpants from  Blitzed that I recently featured in a previous post here.  I enjoy the flexibility when items are unisex.  I also believe that just because something is made for one sex versus another, doesn't always rule it out in fashion.

The booties are a new from Gos which is doing a limited sale via the marketplace for 100L (in color shown) - good time to pick up a pair that comes in 3 available colors.

Fall ArrivesThe skin is LAQ's latest Nellie.  Which is probably my favorite of her newest skin releases.  I went with the first shade of make-up in the pack because of the simplistic fall feel.  I have also featured this skin in a portrait photo seen in a portrait pic I did a few weeks ago (seen right).

In this blog, however, I matched up the look with SLink's Genevif hair that I picked up during the hair fair.  I love the realistic shine and the thin flyaway strands.  I hope to see more hair creations to come.

The final piece and not new to my blog, the Zbilja eyes by Exodi provide the right amount of shine, color, and depth to the realistic look.

And last but not least - I need to give a shout out to my friend, Mainit Hellman.  He's been building furniture and other house styled items at his shop called Baustein.  I'm featuring one of his newest furniture releases and my fave item of his so far.  He has taught himself how to create sculpties and I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.

Summer Fades


Summer Fades, originally uploaded by Zoe Demar.

I've been spending a lot of time in RL and thus everything else has suffered. When I have wanted to come in-world to snap a pic, there have been complications.

Today I managed to break through some of those to grab a shot wearing some of my favorite things. Note that I have messed with photoshop creating this image so it doesn't necessarily reflect the items 100% color/fit.

Where is that hair...Hair Fair 2010

Update!!! 
----------
Note: each sim has a landing point on each - recommend to use slurls as beacons
Tip: the tents are phantom so don't worry about the doors sooo much :)

A quick post to share list of Hair Fair participants as well as what sim they're located on.

I'm also posting some snaps of what's catching my eye as I'm wandering the sims on my flickr - I'll do more official "posts" in time. Feel free to check them out!

Enjoy!

Hair Fair 2010 - Demo Group

Hair-Fair-2010-blogYou can smell the new prims in the air...okay maybe not but there certainly is a lot of newness that has been building in anticipation at this year's Hair Fair.

This morning I myself couldn't miss going in to get a little bit of a peek before work and now that I'm home I really wish I could have times for a few laps around the sims before sleep overcomes me.  I doubt that's going to happen - but as for now I do encourage you all to join the Hair Fair DEMO Group - (look it up in search) this will certainly cut down on lag of roaming if you have an idea in mind already to what you want to go for.

Designers weren't allowed to put out demos until today and there has been a slew full!  Yes, my messages capped - but the best thing is that it is a linden group and you can retrieve the demos from notices.

As far as my blogging - I do hope to give a fair representation of hairstyles that are available from a variety of stores.  There are many people blogging - so I highly encourage you to check the feeds regularly to perhaps catch a glimpse of styles you might have missed.

That's all for now!  Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

Hair Fair Blogger's Day!

I can't wait to pour out all the goodies that have arrived at hair fair - fortunately and unfortunately I have to run to work - but thought I'd share a quick peek at two designers whom I adore - lamb. and fri.day - check out my flickr for more pics!

Enjoy!

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Locker Room

Blogged: Locker Room I like to check out the other gender every once in awhile and do a blog about it.  The main reason for this post is due to the latest release by The Abyss called 2043.  The skin is extremely realistic and causes me to be in awe.  I typically like to wear any Abyss skin with their shapes because they fit together effortlessly.  And I'm not about to go around tweaking guys shapes because they typically frustrate me by lack of certain arm and leg sliders available in SL.  The skin comes in 4 main shades but is tintable through the SL slider system.  I also stuck with one of the pairs of eyes from the tone 2 in the series called panther. I'm also wearing a shader (which is included) that helps give a more realistic flair in SL without photo editing.

I decided to go a bit sporty after picking up Emery's Wix sport jacket which comes in other neon stripe shades or basics like black and white.  I paired it up with some greed shorts from Blitzed which I found by accident while visiting another sim.  Love it when that happens!

The flip-flops were a toss up between two new pairs of sandals by Sey.  I decided to go with these due to the color flexibility - as it is hud script controlled for multiple combinations.  Sey also includes a wide variety of nail shades along with it.  Matching the skin tone also wasn't too much of a hassle and they include a few preselected tones.

Hair is a new style by Exile called Nathan.  One of two new styles for the guys.  I know how hard it can be to find good guy hair so hopefully he'll come out with some others soon.

Blogged: Locker Room

Enjoy!


Love, Zoe
