Sunset Flowers... and way too many photos

I set up my photo studio to take these shots with a new background and some different lighting and as you'll see, I got carried away with these photos.

I am using a sunset windlight setting by Trinetty Skytower.   You can find the downloads for the settings here for now. I don't know how long they will be there so go go go.

Anyway so, this outfit starts with some great new releases by Adorsy and by Phoenix in particular. After seeing the beautiful "Aimy" by Phoenix (see previous post) I was very interested in other offerings by Phoenix. I found this lovely Brooke style at Fameshed in the new June round.

It's a partial braided style with loose ponies at the ends and cute tendrils around the face.

I think it goes really well with this cute outfit by Adorsy which I found over at the Cosmopolitan room.  Ever since I discovered Adorsy fashion, I've really liked what I've seen and this is no exception.

Their recent releases have included a great new hud which allows you to add symbols and letters to specific areas of the clothing and even tint those letters to your desires. If you look closely at the above pic (you can click it to enlarge it) you'll see that I've added some fun letters and symbols to the sides of my shorts.

Both top and shorts feature metal changes by hud.  I'm wearing a recent release by Reign on my feet, the really top notch strappy Camdyn heels which were at a previous round of Collabor88.

I did want to mention also, the roses in my hair do not come with the hair. They are from an old hair by Truth, repositioned and tinted to match the outfit.

I matched it up with some flashy jewels by Cae (I love her Jewelry, I have several sets) this one is called Karima and since I bought the set, I got necklace, earrings and bracelets too.  I believe this set was in the Saturday Sale recently. Always watch your sales babes.<3

In this shot you can see some of the details of this jewelry set along with my gorgeous ears by Swallow.  I'm wearing the princess set and as you can see they are so pretty with lots of delicate themed piercings, a tattoo and more.

My nail polish is from Alaska Metro, the tropics/silver set. I went and got redelivery of several of her sets so I could get the updated huds.She now includes environment settings and such on her huds.

I'm still wearing the Scarlet head and Zahra skin by Laq. In these pics, I'm also wearing eye shadow by Izzie's, the Springtime shadows that were offered by the Lookbook event. It's really a pity, Izzie's was one of the few who provided omega appliers for their offers in that event and therefore one of the few that I purchased. These are so pretty though, softly shimmery and with a choice of dark liner or no liner.


Above you can see a full face look where I am also wearing glossy lipstick by Pink Fuel (The sparkle and shine set for Laq)

And the right face look because why not.  ;) 

I do want to mention, it's a common glitch to get a little bit of a flicker problem between the hair base and some types of mesh hair. It's not something either creator of base or hair did wrong. It's a known bug in sl itself. I did have to do some retouching on these photos where that happened. I also had a slight fit problem with the tendrils coming down on the left side of my face. (Your right) which is why I put some flowers there to cover. I think it gave the look an exotic flare. Maybe if she made the tendrils/bangs attachment as a separate unrigged thing? Just an idea.

All poses are by BellePoses (various sets) and the simple setting was created by me.

As Always Thanks for reading and click over to my flickr to see really high detailed pics.

Feeling Minnie - Mouse that is.

I shop, a lot. Like literally that's at least half of my sl time is just shopping. I had the opportunity yesterday to go shopping with friends and it was even more fun. I highly recommend it.

But I'm also not a snob about where I shop. One of the shops I *love* is Hilly Haalan. Hilly does both her own mesh as well as using full perm mesh from others to make really cute and attractive clothing at a super reasonable cost. SL fashion has become more and more monochrome (by which i mean all one color not necessarily gray black white) over the years and I like that Hilly also incorporates patterns into her textures.

So I put on this super cute overall skirt outfit, which comes with this tube top to go under it. And as always with Hilly's clothes, you get tons of different texture options.

See how cute this is? And here's a pic of the texture hud.

As you can see you get several denim choices for the overalls and both solids and prints in the tube top. When I used the red and white polkadot one, I suddenly thought of a modern Minnie Mouse and the rest of my outfit is to suit that motif.

Next, let me talk about this super cute hair. It's called Aimy and the way its made makes me think of those curly perms I used to get back in the day. It's just soft pretty curls falling around my face and shoulders. This hair is by Phoenix and was their offering for Fameshed Go for May. As of right this moment, it's still there but I don't know how long that will be the case, so run run.

Just fyi, the lighter parts on my face are not part of the skin those are shadows from the trees that were near me at the time. I was messing with a sun dappled look. Here's also a no shadows version.

Lately, I've been having a lot of fun with Laq bento heads. This is my Scarlet head worn with the Zahra skiin and brows number 3.

I'm wearing lipstick and eyeshadow by Shiny Stuffs to brighten up the look.

My choker is by Maxi Gossamer currently at C88 for a few more days. :)

Minnie always wears high heeled pumps and stockings so I put on my trusty Basic Platform Stilettos and Ruffle Lace Thigh High Stockings both by Reign for Maitreya (other body fits included)

Here's a quick no shadows version detail of the great shoes and stockings. And yes that's a peek of my undies. I'm the kind of girl who likes her underwear. :)

I'm wearing rings and hand bracelets by Amala which you guys have probably seen a hundred times now since I wear them all the time.  Other bracelets I'm wearing are from Kibitz, and nail appliers by AlaskaMetro.

 

Last but not least, the bow I'm wearing is from Dirty Stories on mp. :)
