Recollection In the Sand

"Earthbound, yet undetainable."

My posting has been a bit slow this month with all of my trips to the Venice beach, more precisely the Freakshow to hang out with my friends that work there. Going to the beach got me back in the mood to do another tropical post and since FashionTropic is still going strong until the end of this month, I decided to pick up a new bathing suit. Ghee put out an array of different items for swimwear, all mix'n'match compatible with each other! It was incredibly fun playing with the different pieces since each comes with 5 colors, all HUD controlled. Trying to decide on accessories was a difficult one, not because I could not find what I was looking for, rather I had trouble choosing from the beautiful designs that Moondane had out. I ended up going with their Hibiscus falls, which includes a necklace, a headpiece, and a pair of earrings. this jewelry set is no modify, but shiny, full bright, resize, and textures can be controlled via touch menu. There are 6 metal textures, 10 gems, and 10 flower textures included. Hair was definitely an easy choice, since Moon has this gorgeous style out for Hair Fair. Admittedly I did just use it in a pose recently, but it wasn't quite shown off, so I had to use it again to show you the beauty of this style! As far as makeup goes, I went with my favorite eyeliner from cStar (the most well made eyeliner in SL in my opinion) and some gorgeous green eyeshadow from Zibska. Posing was rather difficult because I was not entirely sure what I wanted to do; at first I thought about sitting in the tides, but one my best friends had just made some new poses that were unreleased and this one in particular called out to me. I convinced her to let me use the pose (and hopefully release it sooner than later) and set out for a shoot.

Morning Metamorphosis

"Lost in contemplation."

White Widows strikes again, bringing us a beautiful and feminine tattoo that features elegant swirls, lace, roses, and butterflies. Music Box is available in three colors (Blue, Pink, Dark), three opacities,  and appliers galore for those of us who use mesh bodies and mesh body parts. It is currently available at Event@1st until July 25th! Styling for this I decided to go very simple as not to distract from the intricate detailing of the tattoo. Zibska's Hair Fair 2015 gift pack just so happened to have makeup that just felt... perfect. The gift pack includes a unique jewelry set, this makeup style in 12 colors, these sexy lashes (which are fully tintable), and appliers of course! Speaking of Hair Fair, this hairstyle is one of Moon's styles for Hair Fair 2015! Silent has five new gorgeous styles, but Belle Fleur is definitely my favorite since it's the perfect half face cover and it's just so sexy. I don't know about you, but I'm crazy excited for this year's Hair Fair! When it came to taking the picture, I didn't stop until I found the perfect pose that I could get a lovely side profile and feature the work of the tattoo on the back. Location was a bit of a challenge until I stood looking out the window, lost in contemplation.
