Un Petit Festin

That means a little treat, and as little as it may be, it's beauty is mammoth. What I have for you today is the 1920's Antique Headress from Chapeau Tres Mignon. I didn't have the right hair for this gorgeous piece but I did my best, and ended up pulling it out a little, which still looks nice from the front. The piece is all prims (as best I could tell) and would suit being paired with a flapper-style dress and a long cigarette holder. I wandered around New Paris with it and posed on the Eiffel Tower. Even though I wore a modern dress, it fit the atmosphere of the sim perfectly. This piece could be used by you fashionista types in more than one way, so let your imagination run wild and you just may come up with something heart-stopping!
The headress is L$ 300 and is available at the flagship store in Dreamworld East. Read more!

3-in-1 Sunglasses

That wasn't the most creative title but bare with me here, I've just moved into my new SLhome and I'm a bit weary. To cover up those dreadful under-eye bags I put on my new JetGloss sunglasses from Suite 17. I say 3-in-1, but really there are 6 versions in this texture change product, 3 colors in 2 styles each, plain and with a reflective highlight. The lenses come in beige, plum and black (I'm making up the name since they're not listed. Even though I'm lounging at home, style is still important to me, but these glasses are so stylish it almost hurts. Damn I'm one foxy looking lady!Craftsmanship on this item is really good, if not excellent. The glasses seem to be photo sourced and then placed on very thin prims giving the illusion that it is all prim-work. Sometimes this bothers me, but not in this case, unless I'm looking from a weird side angle. Then you can see a bit of a gap between the front piece and the arms.I took a pic in all of the 3 colors so that you know what they look like, even though the demos are L$ 1 and the glasses are L$ 250.
Here's the slurl that will bring you right to the display. Aren't I nice?

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!
