I am super excited today! As you might notice, I suddenly have a new page at the top — Sponsors! Check out those links to see some wonderful clothes at great prices!

My outfit today is the result of my over excitement, and I am not at all ashamed. I don’t normally do this, but I even had to go out and buy things to go with the outfit. I’m usually quite shy about spending my lindens.

My outfit is the Shredded Dress from .:Ducknipple:. Mesh. This dress includes a multi-coloured hud, but as my inventory is full of the monochrome, I had to go with classic black. I love dresses with cut outs in the shoulders, and this dress takes that love a step further with circles decreasing in size all down the arms. There are cut outs on the left hip/thigh area, and down the back as well. I really love the effect the cut outs create in the mesh; everything looks so realistic and three dimensional, which I am so crazy about in mesh. The texture is beautifully done, and it’s cut so nicely.. I can’t say enough about this dress, ugh, I love it too much. I expect this to be a staple in my wardrobe from now on!

If possible, I’m even more excited about the Socks with Shoes, also from .:Ducknipple:. Mesh. As soon as these came out, I wanted them! They are not only perfectly my style, but they have some of the features I’ve been missing in mesh socks here in SL. My favourite part is that they’re slightly uneven; that and the way they fall make them so realistic. They have a hud with different colours and patterns, so they match any outfit. (I’m wearing the patterned pair, but there’s also a plain set, too.) The shoes, by the way, are optional. Included in the pack is a set without shoes or feet, so you can use your favourite shoes with them.

I had to go out and buy this Exile hairstyle after Emi was talking about it, and wow. I really love it! I wish they had an additional indecisive pack with different colour options, but since they don’t, I went with dark blondes.

I have more things to blog in the coming days (hours?), so keep a look out for my spam!

I got a notice at some point (I often don’t notice those, which is funny) about a store I’d never heard of called Necrotic. They are closing their in world store and merging with another brand, so until April, their inventory is %50 off. They don’t have a huge selection, but I managed to find a few things that I really liked.

This mesh three quarter sleeve length top has a simply wonderful texture. I was excited to find a Jack Daniels pattern, since I really love it, and it comes in several forms, including ripped tops, shirt dresses, etc. They have a lot of great patterns, and really everything is textured so beautifully that it was hard for me to choose what I wanted. At half off, this top comes out to only 62L, which is a pretty good deal. Stop in and look around, and be sure to pick up anything you fancy before the first!

in this together

Emi recently was accepted as a blogger for the Pose Fair this year, which I am insanely happy for her over, yay Emi! As a result, I’ve gotten to be the extra body in a couple pose or two so she can accurately preview them. The one I want to talk about tonight is this adorable prop pose from elephante poses.

It’s called Together We Are, and will be available at the Pose Fair for 149L. It’s a cute pose, so if you’re in the market, be sure to swing by and pick this one up on the 29th!

By the way, the raw of this shot is courtesy of Emi. Check out her post if you want to see what it would look like in the hands of an actual Photoshop user! Thanks, Emi!

more than the past

Inventory organization is really tough! I’ve been trying to tackle my monstrous mess for the last couple of days, and as a result, I haven’t had the time to sort through items to blog. I’ve been trying to keep from buying new things, too, in the hope that I will keep from adding to this huge pile of things that need properly placed.

Instead, while taking a break from (read: avoiding) organizing, I decided to go through some old snapshots I’d taken. I really wanted to post, but had nothing, so I thought maybe I should try to recreate an old snapshot for the blog. I might make a habit of this for those times when I desperately need to post and can’t find just the right thing to blog.

Now, it’s back to work for Ai. Hopefully upcoming: something shiny and new!
