Lelutka Summer Part II


Second Lelutka installment, and I am sticking with the black and white but this time I put together a retro look using Lelutka's new Nadia dress. The empire waistline reminds me of the 60's and the necklace all I can say is "OH WOW!" the new scripted jewelry at Lelutka makes me sooo very happy! The color choices and combinations are really great, I ran out of time before I ran out of color combinations. For this look of course black and white is what I needed, but trust me, there is so much more that can be done with this necklace and the rest of the new collection. One warning, the men's and women's jewelry is together and clearly marked but don't think you can mod a mans necklace to a size to fit you ladies, it won't work. I was very disappointed as I would so steal some of the men's for myself if I could make it work. If anyone knows how give me a shout. OK, back to the outfit: dress, necklace, earrings and cocktail ring, classic pumps and the hair, I love this hair too, the top piece is from booN and the hair is Maitreya (I had to mod it for this but it's not a hard modify, just don't forget to make a copy!) The total look is a retro cocktail look and personally I think cute and fun and I am looking through notecards to find a party to wear this to!

Lelutka Summer


So you all know Lelutka summer releases are out and I like everyone else had to go and check it out. There are some really great things and I picked up a few items that I will end up blogging in the next few days, (one will be some of the jewelry, YAY for customization!) One thing you should know about me is I LOVE LOVE LOVE black. It will be the first color i buy in most anything. It's just classic and I love it. I try very hard to buy other colors too but it's my tried and true fall back habit. So the first thing I have to share is of course black. I saw these IBIS pants and immediately fell in love! The flowers on the waist, the stripes, the skinny fit *sighs*. What to wear with them, need shoes, and well thankfully the new Letluka St. Tropez slingbacks are perf! I love them a lot and bought the fatpack, so you are gonna be sick of them soon. Next, COCO's white broadcloth shirt, check. Needs a bit more, so I add SMS blouse over the the shirt and I have sort of a modern pirate vibe going on, Paper Couture Jewelry I bought off of xstreet and I am a happy girl!

Work Out?


I tp'd over to Niniko when i saw a cute top one of my fellow bloggers had written about and wandered around and while I bought the top, I knew I had to get this outfit! I was not really in a work out mood, I was in what I call a "slump day". Nothing appealed to me more than just curling up in comfy sweats, pulling my hair up and being a hermit for the whole day. So my avi ended up doing just that too. This of course would be a great work out outfit too and once I am feeling motivated again it may become that, but for now it's the "I need some Ben&Jerry's a good book and time to just veg" outfit. So here's to taking a break, slowing down and letting the world pass me by for a bit!

Down on the Farm



I have been MIA for a little bit. Busy with beta preview testing of a soon to be released MMORPG and well I have neglected SL for a bit. My apologies to my SL friends! A quick post though for this week, I saw this cute outfit at GothiCatz and couldn't resist! It of course screamed wear cowboy boots! Off to Hoorenbeek for boots and a little turquoise jewelry from one of my fave designers luc and called on my pet cow from the amazing Sway Dench (if you have not gone to her place it is a MUST!). I am ready for some milking, to bale some hay, or just sit back and enjoy a day "down on the farm"!

Peachy Pinks and Cream



Once again I have bought an accessory I loved and had to create an outfit to work with it! My challenge this time was this Paper Couture necklace, I really loved it and had no idea what to put with it. So the challenge began! First thing I found were the pants from Lelutka, when it came to trying to figure out who would have the right pastel pant I needed, this was a no brainer, the top was more challenging because I didn't want just a plain blouse I wanted something that would be wow without taking away from the beauty of the necklace and I found what I wanted in this dress from Elate. Shoes, jewelry and a clutch were next. Shoes not too hard Maitreya had pumps in dozens of colors the rest of the jewelry was MUCH HARDER, not white pearls, not really a true pink and I finally found what I needed at Earthstones and Caroline's after many searches around the grid! The clutch I found at Beauty Avatar and let me tell you folks finding things made in ivory or pastels that don't scream baby boy or baby girl is not easy! I needed a sophisticated hair for this look. I wanted sexy classy, so off to Kmadd for the Thalia hair and I am ready for drinks and some social time out with Neko :-)

A Word About Customer Service


Here's the deal, you will not find me "complaining" about people, creators, little children or small animals in my blog, it's just not me. I won't be "promoting" someone just because they paid me or gave me something. I like something I blog it, pretty simple no matter if it was a purchase or gift. One thing I will do is if I find something or someone that goes above and beyond, I am going to mention it here. Good customer service is worth talking about! When shopping for my blog the other day I had not wanted to tp to the shop so I purchased some DeLa earrings on xstreetsl, unfortunately SL was being wonky and did not deliver them so I repurchased and of course when I re logged the "lost" ones showed up. I did not send an IM or notecard to anyone as well things like that happen sometimes, such is life. I logged this morning to find a short notecard from DeLa creator Kuranosuke Kamachi whom I have never met or spoken with before and it stated that she noticed I had double purchased the earrings and refunded me the price of the second pair. Now I know we all make stupid mistakes when purchasing things and if it's our own fault for not reading vendor info or something like that then we haven't any right to have a creator make it right for us. If you screw up you, screw up, be an adult and take responsibility for it. It was not my fault SL had messed up the purchase for me but it was not hers either, so I was not going to complain to her, SL was the one that messed it up. To me, getting a personal note and refund was above and beyond what I expected or have experienced in SL shopping and while I was a loyal customer already I am now a die hard fan! YAY customer service in any industry, virtual or not!!!

Elegant Old Favorites


Today I am posting on old favorite of mine, I just adore this gown from Nyla Cheeky. I know we as bloggers are all about the newest/latest but I think we should not forget those beautiful creations in the back of our vast closets and pull them out once in awhile. There have been many times I have been to an event (ok I am very shy and a bit of a hermit so I don't get out much in SL but occasionally I do) and rather than rush to find a new great gown I pull out one from the depths of my closet because odds are someone else is going to be wearing the "latest" but rarely does anyone look to the classics and on those times I do, it never fails, no one "matches". The key to not looking out of place when doing this is make sure the outfit you choose has the quality and craftsmanship of anything else out there currently. This dress does, I love the skirt on this dress it's lush, full and the train beautiful. The corseted top is detailed and well made. Staying true to the classics in SL I add Muse Pearls and ETD hair and I am ready for most any elegant event!

Shopping Day




Well it all starts with wanting a cute outfit for this top that I had in my inventory for a while now. I found the shorts in my inventory and was like YAY! off to a great start and then hit a roadblock with shoes. I went through my inventory and tried on all my sandals and flats and nothing worked, then I recalled these from Maitreya, so I rushed over picked them up and viola! Perfection! Now jewelry after a preliminary search of xstreetsl I am hooked up with bangles and earrings. I complain to Neko I need hair and thanks to him for pointing out the hair creator, sorry I got the same one as you babe ;p. I grabbed a purse because this was a heavy shopping day and needed something to carry around my linden clothing allowance of, throw on some sunglasses because it's a sunny day here and I am ready to shop til I drop! I love this hair and the fact it is FREE is a bonus! Sure it's suppose to be guy hair but if it works then why not! I have tons of "guy" things in my inventory that work great for us girls too. Stay alert and open minded and you will find a treasure of two in the men's department ladies! Now if I could only find something to go with those shoes I have had forever...

Sailing


I got a notice that Zaara had a new release, chinos for guys and girls. I tp'd over and was not disappointed. Several colors, cute rolled cuffs and a nice fit. They reminded me of growing up on the lake and sailing whenever I had a chance. Of course in SL you can pretty much do anything you would do in RL so with a quick search I found some sailboats and just needed to complete my outfit. I admit it's a preppy look but preppy can be cute! I love the layered polo and the simple necklace. I think I need to pack a picnic too, maybe some PB&J... Anyone care to join me?

Little Black Rain Cloud



I didn't post this past week due to the fact I was out of town diligently working at a conference and for the flight back home spent 3 hours on the tarmac waiting for a little black rain cloud to pass so that the pilot could take off! So today I am tired, and haven't had enough sleep and the little cloud's color has invaded my wardrobe. In honor of gray and black rain clouds I am taking an excerpt from Dr. Suess's book "My Many Colored Days" which goes something like this:

"Some days are yellow."

"Some are blue.""

"On different days I'm different too."

"You'd be surprised how many ways I change on Different Colored Days...."

"Gray Day... Everything is gray.I watch. But nothing moves today." (like airplanes ;p)

Maybe tomorrow I will feel green, or yellow or blue, but for now gray (and black) will have to do.

Classic Composure







I got a note card about Beauty Avatar Couture's new releases and of course I tp'd over there. I wasn't disappointed as there were many things I really loved, but I had this blouse from Argrace's new releases and when I saw these pants I knew I wanted them to go with the blouse. I am bad about that, I buy things with nothing to match but I know somewhere, out there, I am going to find exactly what I want to go with it! I usually end up doing this with shoes in RL becaues I am such a shoe fanatic in RL (I mean have you ever put on a pair of shoes and thought to yourself "these make me look fat, or hippy or fill in the blank with whatever negative thing we think when trying on clothes") but in SL it's usually a piece of clothing I end up searching for the perfect thing to complete to create an outfit. Speaking of shoes, these are prim toed so you can match your skin and change the nail polish as you need, gotta love that for variety, and well I am addicted to anything scripted, I just love scripts about as much as I love prims! This is a totally classic look and with the Paper Couture necklace and earrings, it just cements the whole traditional look. The blouse comes with a scarf tied for the neck and if I wore it with this I could have a whole 70's vibe to this look. I kind feel like this leans to that time, maybe I could be the hot neighbor on "That 70's Show" nah, I am more the Mom type ;p
Anyway, it simple, it's classic and a nice little outfit for shopping or meeting some business acquaintances.

Nature Girl


Don't let the title fool you, my idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service, but I do like to be outdoors on a beautiful day and of course want to look as cute as possible at the same time. This is my version of a relaxing day outside, not really doing anything except maybe carried a book along, stopped for a latte and spending some quality time reading and sipping. The colors are natural and neutral, but the pattern in the dress gives interest and the tank underneath helps make the dress less "Hey look at my bewbs!" Jeans of course, my favorite thing to wear and allows you to sit more comfortably and cute shoes! (OK Neko and I have this thing because I made the mistake of showing him shoes I have bought and well lets just say we don't always agree on what is the definition of a cute shoe, lol) But these are cute and no arguments on that one. I love the fact you have a choice of a wedge heel, or regular heel and nail polish color and toe rings! These have prim toes which to me are a bit easier to match than the whole prim foot and face it if the other guy isn't running the same settings as you the feet or toes are probably not gonna match! Grrrr! Cute wooden bracelets and a necklace I love but don't get to wear often enough and I am good to go!

Chocolate and Teal




I have favorite designers in SL just like I have favorite stores I like to shop in RL. I make no apologies for this, and what you will see me wearing in SL or in this blog is something from a designer who's work I like and will most likely see things from that designer posted more than once. I have said before this blog is pretty much just glimpses of what I wear in SL and is in my closet.
DeLa is one of those. I shop here a lot and when I got a notice of a new release I tp'd over as soon as I could. The new halter and skirt is really pretty. It comes in many colors and I love I can wear them together and separately, they are sold separately so if you only want only one piece then you don't have to pay for the whole outfit. I wore the top the next day with it's ruffle and jeans and still loved it. A rich chocolate brown and a softer color is one of my favorite combinations. I usually wear silver jewelry, probably because I prefer it in RL but for this the richness of the chocolate called for gold, a pair of gold strappy stilettos and to add that touch of color, teal and gold bracelets and gold earrings with the touch of color in the beads, pull the hair up to show off those earrings and you are ready to go out and charm the masses!

TGIF


So before you look and say "WOW! Callie you've really changed your look!" this is not me or an alt. I have enlisted some help, Neko mentioned that he thinks there are not enough guy blogs, which to me says "I volunteer" and in this case he graciously did, and I appreciate it because you guys seeing me in men's clothing just doesn't have the same effect, so I am going to do my part to share some looks that Neko and/or I like that are out there.

Now, before you start rolling your eyes and saying "blah! Armidi stuff we already know about that!" lets think about it, yes we all know it's there and it IS good stuff, I think Armidi has suffered a bit in the blogging world due to popularity, you know how the media likes to build things up just to tear them down, and well it's time for them to come out with some new things, never rest on your laurels people! Let's face it though, they have some nice stuff and once in a while a reminder doesn't hurt. Anyway, I think they way the pants makes a guy's butt look is worth the Lindens. This is a cool Friday work outfit, more casual friday, no suit but still looking pulled together, you can choose tie or not. I really love this look, it goes from work to a date easily and keeps a little of the edge of the bad boy with the rebelliousness of piercings and tennis shoes for work. I think if he walks out the door like this I am going to be counting the minutes until he is coming back in that door because I will want more time with this look ;-)

All Business



Sometimes a girl has to work, there is no way around it, the bills have to get paid. Hopefully you have one of those jobs you look forward to getting up and going to most of the time. When it's time to get serious and get the job done you need to look the part. This is a really simple outfit and when working you don't need the distractions of multiple accessories, because lets face it, unless you are a model it's about the work not about you. Of course you want to look good but flashy and showy and "Hey! Look at my outfit!" is not what work is about. You want more of "She gets the job done and she always looks really pulled together." So here is my version of serious office attire for SL, still feminine and attractive but not Vegas cocktail waitress in the office, (admit it you know you have seen them, dressed for a night in Vegas rather than the office but show up for work anyway). Simple crisp white shirt, Black pencil skirt with a little extra oomph of suspenders, pearls and sexy black pumps, (not stripper high, but enough to make em go, she has nice legs). Serious glasses and pulled back hair and you are ready to tackle any office crisis that comes your way!

Shabby Chic



I am a girly girl at heart and every once in a while I just get in the mood to wear something pretty and soft and sort of snuggly. This outfit is kind of just that, a soft cardigan sweater in a pale bluish green and accessories in a lemony yellow. The cardigan is closed at the collar with a jeweled button and hangs open to reveal a cute illustrated tank that I have had in my inventory forever, boyfriend jeans and comfy flats make this a nice outfit for running around SL and for relaxing with Neko should we decide to have a lazy day. I like the casualness of it and the broken in feel to it, the pulling on your favorite old pair of jeans and worn sweater over a fun tank, shows you don't have to try hard to be cute and comfortable. Slip your feet into an easy pair of flats and you are ready to go or not should you decide to be lazy today.

<3 Red


So I have become addicted to Looklet.com and it's really cool, one thing I have noticed that once I create an outfit there I want to immediately run to SL and see if I can recreate it inworld. Today I created a dress up/down look. This is one of my favorites, the jeans and mini dress, toss on a basic black jacket and sexy stilettos and ruby necklace to continue the theme of red. I am madly in love with the hair and will have a hard time changing it! This outfit just screams sexy/cool to me.

Tequila!


Today I am teasing you with more of Tuli's newest skin-Hope. Today's makeup is "Tequila" and of course now I can't get the song out of my head, lol. I love the colors in the eye makeup here and the lip color I love because it compliments without taking away from the eye color. I did play with lighting and retouched minimally for the quirks that SL does to photos, but other than that what you see is what you get. It's fab fab fab skin! Thank you Tuli for the sneak peek! I will post more pics of the other makeups that are just as awesome as the two I have already shared soon! :-)

Sassy



Today I am feeling a bit sassy and chose to dress the part. Those who know me know I am not hardcore anything and it's usually laughable if I try to be tough as nails, it's just not me. I do however sometimes like dressing a bit sassy and flirty just to step outside the box of my normal "nice girl" persona. This outfit is not all that hardcore and it's pretty mainstream by SL standards but I do like it has a little attitude, the top comes in a sheer option also. The skirt I love it's short and has a very lowrise and well WWI plainly has sexy things, I know because Neko loves when I shop there, lol! The Scribble socks are one of my fav accessories and the Maitreya boots are old standards but a good shoe is a good shoe and worth having in your inventory. Short sassy hair from Teketeku another of my favs and a simple necklace and bracelet round out the look. Now if Neko would just log then I could practice my flirting! ;-)

Tuli's Hope


In a previous post I mentioned how much I love Tuli's new skin called Hope. Not that I need more reason to love this skin but rumor is there will be lots of make up choices and I got a sneak peek at a few and all I can say is WOW! I won't give it all away as these are Tuli's skins and I don't want to take advantage of her letting me sneak a peek but they are so drop dead gorgeous I have to share at least one, so I have chosen "Sultry" and boy is it! This one is gonna make the boys drool ladies! You will be fighting them off with a stick wearing this one! Seriously, Tuli's talent can not be questioned and she has given us a masterpiece as far as I am concerned. I am counting the days until the full release and if you want a great skin to add to your inventory I suggest join her group, for your own sneak peek and tp into Journey the moment they are available!

Play Clothes


So how many of you are like me and remember your mom telling you to change out of your nice clothes and put on "play clothes" before you go outside? I am sure there are some of you out there that had the distinction between what was for school or dress up and what was "play clothes".

Today I felt like wearing my "play clothes" and being outside. Just that time when you can lay in the grass and pick flowers for flower chains or play ball ,whatever it is to recapture a feeling of being carefree and nothing to worry about other than wouldn't if be great if the ice cream truck drove by too! For today's play time I chose an loose fit tank because you have to be able to move, jump and run, the shorts for climbing an occasional tree. I tie my shirt around my waist because it gets hot running all around like that and have to wear my fave broke in sneakers. OK can't hang here any longer I think I need to go stick my feet in a creek somewhere :-)

Dotty




As I was scrolling through the feed this week, I noticed the **en Svale** ~ Summer Dress (Flower) and of course had to tp over there to check it out, I immediately bought it, but I picked up the navy one too,**en Svale** ~ Summer Dress (Dot). I had plans for it! I knew it could look a little too matronly if not careful so I took the top and paired it with *COCO* ankle pants in white (I am not wearing the belt and pockets). I wanted a dressed up summer feel to it and added a pair of open toe heels, Maitreya's Enchant heels in white and for the jewelry I went for the classics; Muse pearls. while I am at it I have to tell you my opinon of the skin you will see me wearing. Normally I wear Tuli's Elizabeth skin as it was made with me in mind (thank you so much Tuli!) and I have played in her other skins occasinally but Elizabeth was a "fit". Tuli just recently introduced Hope to her group and OMG! it's a "fit" for me! OK Elizabeth II is in the works but until then Hope and I will be getting along perfectly. I just love this skin and if you have not had a chance to try it, I strongly suggest you pay the $250L and join her group, the lovely, talented, gracious and very generous Tuli makes it worth every cent. The hair I am sure everyone is sick of seeing but you know we love it anyway is Maitreya's Piper II. So today my mood was a bit dressed up, tomorrow maybe not so much, but I will update as the mood hits and who knows, tomorrow I could feel a bit cyber glam, or maybe fairy-ish, or maybe just lounging in jeans and sneaks?

First Post!

Friends have been telling me "you should start a blog!" so if you are sick to death of fashion bloggers or think the world would be better off without SL fashion blogging then blame my friends that there is one more to contend with, it's all their fault. I am not out to represent anything or any particuliar designer, I have my personal favs and a full closet and why not share some of the things I like, it gives me an excuse to wear some of my vast inventory. Welcome to my closet, my style and tastes, may not be your cup of tea or incrediably unique but it's me, and what you would find me wearing at anytime in the world we know as SL.
