A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Porcelain

There is a chill in the air as haunting times are starting around the grid for Halloween.  Time for dressing up and having fun.  Evie's Closet is perfect for finding a good assortment of costumes.  The fable dress that I'm featuring is one of the newest releases to be found at her store.  It was also one of the stores that I regrettably did not have a part of my fantasy blog week awhile back and I hope that showing off this wonderful gown makes up for it!

The felt that the dress was well suited for some elegant haunts of the vampire kind.  I have wanted to do a picture using Pink Fuels'  Bloodthirty skin since I picked it up.  I'm not sure if it is currently out at Pink Fuel's main store, but I'm sure it will be there soon enough.  

The hair called, La Petite Mort, is new from Shag for the Stumblebum event this weekend.  The hat has two color options as well as the netting.  The pack comes in 4 shades - red, blonde, black, and brown.  If you're new to Shag I recommend going to check out the store.  The first time I came across shag, I loved the vendor ads but felt the hair was best for one angle.  They have improved since I have visited more recently in the year.  I would like them to refine the hair textures a bit, but feel like they're definitely somebody to watch.  It is nice that they haven't forgotten about the men of Second Life.  I hope to do a male blog post soon showing off one of my faves from their hair fair collection.  

The jewelry I choose is a brand new piece by Alienbear called Pandora.  She created the piece to go with a gown from Nicky Ree which I believe should be out soon if not already out.  I'm always amazed at the detail that Alienbear adds to her creations as well as pure creativity behind them.

The pose is by !Bang (second picture) - if you haven't checked out the store, I really like the couples poses and individual poses that are offered.  The creator is not new to SL but new to selling poses and I wish her much success!

Last the eyes, which are a typical staple for me from Exodi - nuff said.

Both images have been refined in photoshop.

Enjoy!

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

Enjoy!

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Warm Fuzzy

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.

The 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.

Enjoy!

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

Slurl List here: Hair Fair 2010 Official Blog

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

You 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
