A Look at Lookr

Wow, it's been some time since my last review, but here it is...something new for you to sink your teeth into!
Adam Soler from Lookr graciously gave me a bunch of his items, including his new release. This first picture shows the Fox sweater in charcoal which comes with the undershirt (a bra really) and a prim buckle. The texture on the sweater is delicate and looks much like a real sweater. A sweet touch is the tag that hangs out the back. My only gripe would be the buckle is kind of bulky, but I played around with it and ended up sinking it in my abdomen a bit. This seemed to make the look more streamlined. You can buy the sweater alone or in a pack of 3 with a chocolate and a vanilla version for L$ 475. The pants are the Lookr Jeans in Canvas Grey. These are some cute jeans, and I love prim bottoms, so I was happy to see it came with a set, and they're only L$ 90. I had to do some adjusting to get a look I like (I'm picky about prims, okay?) but it wasn't hard to do at all. No weird angles here, just easy shrinking. Kalia likes easy...oh hush!
The second picture shows off the DanceDance shirt in Red with Black in the untucked version, which is on the jacket layer and costs only L$ 90, there are seven versions in total. This is a pretty unique piece and I happen to really like the colors. I paired it with the Blue Dark Wash jeans to tone it down a bit. I think the resulting look is casual and slightly bohemian. These jeans do not have prim flares, but they are modifiable so you can play with the look as much as you want. At only L$ 90 once again, thats not a bad deal. Also the pants are both unisex so you and a male friend can match :) Read more!

A Note:

Many of you know about the passing of the person behind the Ginny Talamasca avatar. I wanted to post something here about what Dazzle and Last Call meant to me. It took me a few days to think things over, and I didn't want to add any more pain to anyone. Even though all my memories are good ones, sometimes those can be too much for those that were closest. Anyway if you care to read my thoughts, here they are:

I first discovered Dazzle Haute Couture when I was relatively noobish and found Linden Lifestyles by chance one day. Immediately I went over to see everything. This was over a year ago, perhaps July 2006. I remember this being the first time I was ever in a huge store, and I had to use my camera to see everything. This was many moons ago, and the shop design itself has changed dramatically over my time in SL. I was so impressed with that visit, that I've been a loyal customer ever since.
Last Call is probably my favorite brand in SL, no matter what style I'm going for, I know there is something there I'll love. It's more than about the clothes, I never really knew Ginny, but had spoken to her a few times for various reasons. She was always very professional and sweet with me, even after an embarrassing moment one time. This reinforced my love for everything she and Lyra created.
I know there are probably many people in-world who are mourning the loss of one of SL's greatest designers and creators. However, her impact on us all, and in SL itself, will live on for a very long time. Each time I wear something she created I'll think of her.
My condolences go out to everyone who knew Ginny, and her real life counterpart. I hope that wherever he is, he's happy and at peace. Read more!
