Ikonic Temptations


IkonicTemptations

I haven't given up on blogging completely... but, this post is going to be sweet and simple.

I wanted to blog about some of my favourite things right now. First off are the beautiful new eternal eyes from Ikon!!!! I LOVE THESE eyes. The colours and reflections make them look so real. Tons and tons of colours available. Also, the eyes come in different sizes so you can make them look more animated if you prefer.

Also, I'm a fan of the Shyla skin. It's been awhile since I've bought a Belleza skin and I was so impressed by this one when I tried on the demo. I had a heck of a time choosing a skin tone tho. After much debate, I decided to go a little more tan that usual. I really like how exotic it looks.

I paired the eyes and skin with a new-ish release from Exile.

I took the picture myself but my bestie Phedre played around with it in PS. She's a doll!!!

Autumn's Haven

It's been some time since I've put down prims. But, I figured it was time to do a little decorating. I didn't expect to dive into my project with so much vigour, but the autumn theme got me in the mood. I'm sad to say that my little house won't be around for much longer. I only began renting at the beginning of this month, and just received a notice that my sim is closing. It's very frustrating because so much time and effort was put into this parcel. But... c'est la vie.

Autumn's Haven - Outside

I'd like to thank a very special friend of mine for all the work she did on this project. Crain Lorefield. All of the outside landscaping and deco is thanks to her. She's a genius at landscaping sims and I've told her repeatedly that she should hire herself out. haha. Watching her turn my bare parcel into a swamp/stream/redwood forest was unreal. I couldn't believe how she turned something ugly into something so beautiful. If you're in the need of a landscaper and want someone who is super creative, then IM Crain Lorefield.

The house I used is from last year's Seasons hunt. It's called The Caramel House by Lindini2 Lane. It's currently on sale for L$100. However, I did mod this house a little bit. I extended two rooms, added a second mantel and changed the wallpaper in the bedroom. Crain also added a chimney and patio. I love that this house is mod and I'm especially found of L2 Studio builds.

Autumn's Haven - Outside3

For the credits, I made a effort to include a landmark. It took a long time to list everything out so that's why the creator's names aren't there. It's nothing personal, just a bit time consuming and I figured it's better to be able to tp to buy the product.

You're my triumph


Triumph2

It's been a while since I've worn a Lara Hurley skin, but today I slipped it on and I fell in love all over again. I paired it up with the brand new release from Lelutka. Lelutka has done two very very long hair releases and I love 'em. I'm wearing Lively in this picture. 

I also wanted to show off the brand new release from N-Core called Triumph. I teamed up with my bestie Kaelyn Alecto to show off our beautiful shoes. Like I always say... fatpack is necessary. I never get enough of all the little options N-core offers. These shoes are so versatile. 

Sharing secrets with Temperance ♥

Lovin' the round of C88 (which has moved to its own sim). Tons of stuff available a def must see. I picked up this blazer from HOF and I will be going back for a few more colors. The necklace is also a C88 grab!

The Truth of it!

Temperance Seerose
Picture by Kaelyn Alecto

Today, I was asked by my close friend Kae what my favourite Truth hairstyle was. She's making a huge collection of people's fave Truth styles and their birthday wishes for him. Well, despite owning copious amounts of Truth hair one popped up right away. It was Makenzie. I adore this style, the poof-ed pulled back bangs, the long front pieces. I WANT IT TO BE MESH (WINKS). I'll cross my fingers and hope that Truth reads this. haha.

I've been cleaning out my inventory lately, making room for the new mesh products. When I came to my hair folder I got rid of tons and tons of old styles. However, the one store I couldn't delete was Truth. No matter how old Truth styles are, they're timeless and they're never really out of style. 

Wishing Truth a happy happy birthday!!!

Vintage Fair 2012 - Part One


Sorry for the lateness of my Vintage Fair posting. I've been doing some RL travelling so I haven't had a lot of time to be online. But, when I was able to sit down at my computer I raced over to this year's Vintage Fair.

VintageP1.2

Vintage Fair started on August 4th and will finish on August 29th. About a month of 250+ bands showing off their finest vintage wear. The event is spread over three different sims. If you'd like to browse some items that are available this year. Head over to Seraphim, there is an excellent overview of all the items.

If you're looking for specific stores and URLS then you're going to want to go to Chic Management's Vintage Fair page. It'll give you all the direct LMs, which is a huge time saver.

VintageP1.3

I am in LOVE with the new Betty skin from Belleza. I splurged a little bit and got fatpack in one tone. It was by far the right decision. I just love love love the face of this skin. I'll be wearing it for my other posts to show off the different makeup and just how versatile this skin is.

VintageP1

Also, so pumped about these N-core shoes! They're beautiful. N-core released two different shoes for the event. I'm wearing Lulu in black. This shoe comes with an ankle strap option as well.

Red Lipstick


Red Lipstick
You know it's go-time when a woman puts on red lipstick. I really love the dramatic effect of a dark lip colour, and LiSse's lipsticks are no exception. I am wearing Lisse's (formely Mamboo Chic) Melina in the honey tone by Leona Olivieri. I love how exotic this skin is, and how much richness there is in this particular skin tone. I've been wearing it for days eagerly awaiting Lisse's new release.
Also, very excited to be wearing one of Lamb's hair styles from this year's Hair Fair. I love the way this hair style flows and I especially love the texture.
Red Lipstick 2
Izzie has out a brand new line of eyes called "Deep dark eyes", and well these eyes are deep and dark. They come in ten different colours and are meant to be worn with dark skin tones. Read more on Izzie's blog.
I have to say that since mesh came out Ricielli is one of the stores at the top of my mesh clothing list. I have been a huge fan of all their releases. I ended up walking around the sim and stumbled across a hunt. It feels like there is always a hunt going on there, and that's fine by me. I picked up this beautiful strapless dress for L$15. I paired them up with my favourite N-cores. I stopped by Je Suis because there is a moving sale happening. Most of their items are marked down, so now is the time to stock up on jewellery.
'Til next time... happy shopping!
