Sahar in Paisley

I was lucky enough to tap the MM board at Wow Skins and won Sahar... a complete avatar.  Here I am showing you Sahar in Natural which has a gentle, romantic beauty.  The package also includes Sahar in Day Make Up and Soire Make Up as well as the Sahar shape and clothing, not shown.  The only additions I've made to Sahar are Simatpico eyeliner in brown black from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria meshes from Gaeline Cosmetics.  My paisley dress is FA Creations' Paisley Mesh Cross Halter dress.  This long, formal gown has a firey warmth which is sure to please.  My customizable mesh ballet flats from Meli Imako are well worth the 200L price.  These flats are easy to tint in a multitude of colors; they are definitely a fashion staple of mine!  Finally, my hairstyle is Rashida in toast from Truth Hair.

Debby

This fair, fresh-faced beauty is Debby, and she's only 70L at The Boobies Planet (and yes, it felt strange to type THAT...lol).  I love the beauty mark above the left corner of the mouth in this skin.  The Lolas tango applier is included with this skin, but I chose not to wear it...I know a lot are wearing them in SL, but it's just not my style.  Pink lips and baby blue eyeshadow tattoo layers are also included, but not worn in this photo.  I did add two freebies from Mock Cosmetics, though.  First, my eyeshadow is a group gift from Mockie called Love Cycle eyeshadow (two).  On my lips, I added Opal Lipcolor, Contessa, also from Mock, which is a free tester.  A touch of Simpatico eyeliner from Mock (part of the truck sale I mentioned in my last post) and Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cometics completed the look.  My hair is an adorable, casual style called Lavinia from Truth.  I am wearing one of the colors in the fades pack.

This cute cropped, knotted plaid top is part of a freebie outfit from FA Creations which I picked up on the Marketplace.  The Tartan Ripped Jeans Set includes this tied up blouse and also some tattered jeans and a bandana, which I chose not to wear for this picture.  Instead, I am wearing Skinny Jeans #4 from Maitreya... an old favorite.

My accessories today are available from Maxi Gossamer at Collabor88 for only 88L each.  Erzulie's Love Charm Necklace comes in two different lengths in silver and gold.  The chunky Damasc bangles allow for a choice of several combinations which can be worn on the left or right arm.  I would LOVE to have these bangles in rl!

Wintery Jinelle

When Josey woke up and saw the feathery frost on her windowpane, she smiled. Finally, it was cold enough to wear long coats and tights. It was cold enough for scarves and shirts worn in layers, like camouflage. It was cold enough for her lucky red cardigan, which she swore had a power of its own. She loved this time of year.

Perfect for a winter day and for only 60L this weekend, you can scoop up this warm woolen long sleeve dress in a variety of plaid textures.  Although it covers your arms to keep you snugly warm, Jinelle, shown here in gray multi, leaves plenty of sexy legs showing.  I love the added touch of the low riding black belt.

My fresh, lightly freckled skin is Eleonor, the current group gift from Al Vulo.  I decided to apply two testers (yup, free!) from Mock Cosmetics.  First, my eyeshadow is Mock's eshadow in Bright Beige Tester, and I added a touch of Sweet Coral Lipstain from Mock, which is also a tester.  Finally, Mock Cosmetics is having a truck sale on eyeliner right now.  You can get a package of ALL of Mock's eyeliners for only 100L.  Here, I have applied Simpatico Eyeliner in brownish black.  I finished with Andromeda lashes, also from Mock.  The soft makeup complements Eleonor's simple, fresh appearance.

Maitreya's Voluminous Scarf and hair with its softly draped neck shrug provides a welcome warmth against the winter chill.

Lavender for Good Luck

There's a few things I've learned in life:  always throw salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for good luck, and fall in love whenever you can.

~  Alice Hoffman

Add color to your second life and lavender for good luck with Rosalia, the January group gift from Prism.  With a strappy, form-fitting tank, optional knitted shrug, and coordinating mesh cords, this outfit offers plenty of winter-day warmth as well as a softly feminine sex appeal.  The pants come in seven sizes, so you are sure to find just the right one to hug your curves.  The outfit also comes with a chain belt, which I decided not to wear for this picture.  Prism Designs is free to join and offers stylish monthly gifts.  While you're in the store, check out the freebies on the counter as well! 

I've chosen to accessorize with Burroughs Jewelry's Starlight Dangle Necklace, which I have tinted to match my outfit with the easy-to-use customizing hud.  During the End of Collection, 99L Crazy Sale, you can scoop up some budget-friendly customizable jewels.

Right Here and Now

Look around, there's no one but you and me

Right here and now, the way it was meant to be

There's a smile on my face, knowing that together everything that's in our way

We're better than all right

With a liquid gaze, these Gray Brown eyes are sure to reflect your inner spirit.  Included in this gift from Amacci are two sizes and an optional eye sparkle to give your eyes that special glimmer.  As part of Fifty5 Thursday, POM's Sage Peplum mesh strapless mini is an affordable addition to your wardrobe.  I love the flare of the top over the sleek mini skirt, which is a perfect length.  I've hesitated to blog Fifty5 Thursday items in the past because they were only available for such a short period of time.  In 2013, sale items for Fifty5 will last through the weekend, yay!  So, if you like this mini dress, you still have time to visit Piece of Mind Designs.  Check out the Fifty5 Thursdays web page to see the other items available today and tomorrow.

I can always tell when I see someone wearing a Laqroki skin because they have a luminous glow that is just so lovely, and Ebba in peach is no exception.  Although this skin is not inexpensive, it comes with five different make up options and is well worth every penny.  Here, I have embellished Ebba's soft glow with Opal Lipcolor in Matrix and Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in soft brown, both from Mock Cosmetics.  To showcase my lovely Amacci eyes, I also added Mozz tattoo layer lashes.

Finally, with side-swept bangs and a flowing mane that cascades down my shoulders, Capture, from Magika adds a feminine touch to complete my look.  A special feature that hair from Magika offers is a color change HUD which gives you the option of selecting from a color pack of twenty five (yup, 25!) textures.

The Details:
Eyes:  GrayBrown Eyes from Amacci (0L - gift)
Dress:  Sage Peplum Mesh Dress from Piece of Mind Designs (55L for a limited time)

Bubbly

Every time I see your bubbly face

I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes

and I crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes, I always know

That you make me smile

~Colbie Caillat

Petal [light] Party Girl Bubbly is just one of the skins included in Gala & Rita Design Announcement's Generous Party Girl Mega Pack.  There are so many lovely variations in this gift from Curio.  The group is free to join...just look in the group notices.  I have added a few make up layers from Mock Cosmetics:  including the free Opal Lipcolor Contessa Tester, Honoriable Eyeliner (black) and Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in soft brown.  Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics beautifully frame my Sunrise Eyes in Carribean Blue from Ikon.  My braided mesh hair from Truth is called Tyler.  

My off-the-shoulder Campanula [Ggift] blouse is available to group members at Lo Momo.  I love the airy layers of creamy lace on this feminine top.  Here, I have paired it with dark jeans.

Alira's Angel Wings

With a laced corset, striped tights and distressed fabric textures, Alira's Favole is perfect for fantasy role play or just a shabby chic fairy look.  Although I am showing this outfit with my shape and skin, for only 99L, the complete package on the Marketplace contains the outfit shown, including ballet flats and tiny crow's wings, and also has a shape, skin, eyes, hair flowers and shoulder raven which I am not wearing in this photo.  It's hard to believe that this is alisson Kira's first creation of an outfit!  It's a hit with me and I'm looking forward to what this talented designer creates next!

For this shot, I'm wearing Chloe Medium skin from Belleza accented with Honoriable Eyeliner (black), Miss Vanity Eyeshadow (soft brown) and Crema Lipcolor (Cranberry Crush), all from Mock Cosmetics as well as Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics (which I very rarely take off!).  My eyes are an old favorite from Ikon (formerly Fashism), Sunrise Eyes in Green.  Cascading over my left shoulder is a newer release from Truth Hair called Moxie.

I had to include the shot below so you can get a better look at the adorable crow wings included with Alira's Favole, which you could not really see in the top photo.
