Shave off some years....

How old is your avi in SL? I seem to be in the 28-35 range, mostly I think because I have my goatee and not so sporty style going on. In RL I actually feel a bit lost and naked without my goatee. (so deep I know!) But I thought to give it a go in SL, and I am glad, cause I look so much younger! ..::MAI::.. Justin skin is great in quality and has a nice charming face, it managed to lure me off my Belleza. I styled myself not so young though, more relaxed stylish artsy kinda way. I'm still in my SHIKI clothes, this is the jacket part of the new coat from SHIKI fall collection, the pants are from the black fall suit, LOVE the color splashes in it. The blue belt was what got this outfit going. The GLOW hats are very elegant, I modded the shape a bit and I really appreciate when you can mod accessories. The FD belt has been in my inv for ages and I love the feel it brought to this outfit. The Shiny Things shoes are so damn good, I want more!

So yeah here I am all shaven and "dapper", quote from Vanity, muah!

Spring with Asian Blossom!

Finally the sun is shining outside and the birds are chirping. The grass is green and the flowers are coming out. I was overwhelmed by the lovley meadow in the new Zanzo sim. It was so wonderful I stayed for a whole day. 

Oh, how nice to run and skip in the grass!

This shot was edited by the very talented Anya Ohmai. I love how playlful I look in her shot!

Peek-a-boo!

It was so quiet and calm as the sun was setting, I rested in the grass till complete dark.

For the longest time I have been thinking about putting an outfit together with lots of color.

I saw the head piece at Ce Cubic and I knew I had to have it. Theme purple/yellow was born. Isn't it wonderful we can search Inventory! I looked for something yellow and, there it was. I didn't know that I already had this super cute, perfect for easter, dress by Aoharu. 

Flowers! When I bought these tights from Amerie's Naughty a looong time ago. I never actually thought I'd wear them. I sometimes buy things just cause they so special and well made, I have to own them. It's a way for me to show appreciation to the creator. So, remembering they were covered with flowers, to match the dress,  I tried them on. Perfect match! It's funny too that the new Itutu sim opens with Amerie's store in it, cause all the old LM's didn't work when I was searching for Slurls! You need to update your vendors hun!

The head piece reminds me of a gypsy fortune teller, and those have BIG earrings. The biggest I had were these from Creamshop. The bangle from Fresh Baked Goods was easy to match since it is scripted with mulitple choices of colors and stones. Plus it is chunky and fun just like the earrings.

The shoes was a bit difficult for me to find. I initially wanted someting in burgundy or purple. But who can resist Armidi? It's not that often I get to put on these babies. So aqua it became instead.

All the poses are by me. Soon to be released ..::DARE:::. Poses.

Fashionable Relay Challenge #21

I'd been following the fashionable baton being passed on, getting more and more excited, even nervous, and finally when I get to my turn in this wonderful challenge by Sasy Scarborough. I had to go visit my in-laws for the week-end! YAY, happy times!!!That explains the delay in posting, people! Well..now I'm back home..time for fun!

Thank you Newdoll from Just A Girl's Blog  for handing over the baton. Lovely ensemble you put together, making it quite hard for me to pick what to relay, I must admit! Shoes, hair, shorts and shirt, I wanted it all!

The beautiful white flower on Newdoll's neck caught my attention right away though, when reading her post, and since I'd never been to LOULOU&CO, the Nostalgia necklace will be my item to relay.

(I had to have it too, anyway)

I decided I didn't want to go with the brands I love to wear, but to try and look for new stuff out there, visit stores I'd never bought stuff from or perhaps even knew about before. I guess it wouldn't be a challenge if I went with what I knew, otherwise I'd picked those Maitreya Soho Boots INSTANTLY! Since I have them ALL! haha...

Seeing as many of the posts in the relay have been more casual in style, I wanted to couture it out for you y'all.

I don't know how to dress causal as female! LOL! Yeah..I'm the only male in this challenge. ;)

It was time for me to enter unknown fashion land!

Here goes!

Phew! What a day! This was some challenge I have to say, to go couture with only separates and shops I don't really know! It was HARD I tell you! I don't think I've ever tp around as much as today! Bearing with lag and crashes takes its toll!

I have to admit though, not everything are from stores I've never bought from or heard of. Some items I already had in my inventory, things I always wear and know I won't find better, not worth trying to look even.

So I began searching for what might match the flower on my neck, and this is what I came up with.

Clothes:

Top: AMARIAH - Mist, Crochet Lace Top.

The lace detailing in this top is just amazing and the different textures below the chest makes this little top couture stylish. The second I saw it I knew I had to have it on me! And boy was it time to find something I'd been looking all day! The top also comes with lace sleeves on glove layer.

I have a feeling this little store will soar!

Jacket: *Fishy Strawberry* - Decadence Mongolian Fur - Coal

Nothing says Couture Lux more than a lush fur bolero jacket!

Skirt: Mimikri hot couture - Paris black/Evening Skirt

The skirt is so big and luxurious, I had to make it bigger! I love to sexy walk in it! LOL!

Besides I needed something to compensate the jacket.

Tights: *Sheer* -Tights 27: Opaque Black

OK, I had this in my inventory. If you don't have nylon stockings from Sheer, you don't have nylon stockings. So what if you can't see them! ;)

Accessories:

Headpiece: [gisele] - hair/Zoe nuit head accessory

The sweater I have from this store, is pure sculptie wearable art. So going into the shop I had a feeling I would find something I'd like. But how could I have known that this little exquisite flower head piece would be there waiting for me, all matchy matchy with the crotchet lace top.

This is sold with a 4 pack of hair, but the hair didn't fit my large couture head!

Earrings: *kraftika jewelery - Earrings No 115

This set comes with an equally lovely necklace. The natural pearl shapes did it for me. I have to go back and snatch up the rest of the cute and interesting jewelery they had!

Shoes: Maitreya - Mishima Dawn - Patent Mix Liquorice

Had this in my inv already, however in Auburn, apparently not sold anymore. Well it didn't hurt to get the all black ones either. LOVE!

Gloves: Fleur(formerly TaP) - Leather Gloves Merlot

Just get the fat packs. Best gloves ever!

Necklace: LOULOU&CO - Nostalgia necklace

This necklace has so much going on, you can look at if the longest and still find new details!

Body:

Hair: Tukinowaguma HairStyle "Castle" - Setuna style

What's great about this hair beside the great shape and fierceness, is that it comes in a pack of 5 colors each with a 133 color change script! Hours of fun..LOL!

Skin : CHAI Skins - Double-Shot/ Lavender Tone 05

I'm a Chai guy! What can I say. I only wear Chai. Love the lips and the dramatic eyeshadow. Comes with/without freckles and extra cleaveage shading! Guess which I'm wearing....:)

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

Poses: ..::DARE::.. - Fashion/Runway poses

Fashion poses made by me. Will be released soon!

OK, I'm done styling for a while! Thank you Sasy, I had a blast putting this together.

And now I hand over the baton to Lucy Kenin.  Have fun girl!

Hugs
