I Want to be a Cowboy
Looking for some costume fun or an outfit that is a little different? Start at BareRose and take a look at their Wasteland Cowgirl or Wasteland Cowboy outfits. The Cowgirl outfit is only L$160, and includes enough clothing to do the outfit you see above in brown (shown) gray or pink, and a ton of different combinations of pants or no pants or panties. The belt is separate from the chaps, as is the scarf and hat, so if you’re just looking for some cowgirl accessories, there you go. The chaps come with regular fringe attachments and with fur fringe.
The Wasteland Cowboy outfit is much the same in terms of its sheer awesomeness. For just L$150 you get enough stuff to do the outfit in black (shown) or brown, with a number of different shirt combinations (white, pink or blue). Again the belt, hat and scarf are all separate attachments, and also again you can wear the chaps with or without your pants on.
So there you go, Pilgrim, get on over to BareRose and get yourself an Old West fix.
Gigi Couture
I had a lovely little chat with the creator/owner of the store Gigi Couture, Giana Paine, the other day when I stumbled into her store. She’s very friendly and funny! While I was there, I picked up a few pieces and I loved them! In the pic, is her Shiny Cropped Jacket and Houndstooth shorts. They are so well made, I couldn’t resist taking a snap. The jacket has a fabulously realistic texture and also comes with a jacket layer with her logo if you wish (which is very cool) and sculpted sleeves. The shorts have rolled cuffs in two different sizes as well. Very sexy and stylish outfits can be found there and I’ll definitely be going back for more.
Also seen in the piccie, is Hair by Cher’s “Whitney“…an outre short afro-inspired style and gorgeous skin by Canimal called Essence Mystery, colour change stilettos by Basevi Moda and the Boulevard bag by Paper Couture.
Fashion Forward - Halter Bathing Suit
This sweet halter swimsuit from Fashion Forward hearkens back to a bygone era where glamour was the cat’s pyjamas! I love the variation on the keyhole neckline used on the halter top of the suit where only the cleavage hints at “come hither” and the sweetly sexy and modest full suit bottom. I’m always a sucker for retro/vintage stuff and this suit struck me..just need an oversized floppy hat with shades and sporting a cigarette holder..and maybe dripping in some diamonds *hmm. Either way, you will still look glam.
Chic Boutique - Starlet Skins
Chic Boutique recently released its first line of skins, named “Starlet”. There are seven shades ranging from “Lily” to “Godiva”, each with six makeup options both subtle and dramatic. The lighter three tones come with eyebrow color options for blondes, redheads, and brunettes. All skintones come with an optional tanline version.
I chose to take photos of the Ivory - Sauvignon. I love the beautiful blue shadow on the eyes. The lips are a little brighter then I usually wear, but with the perfect outfit, it would be just the right touch. The shading is soft, so for the first set of skins from this designer, they turned out great, in my opinion.
Starlet skins retail for $849 at Chic Boutique’s main store on the Isle of Spirits.
League Knock out
Put up your dukes! Time to get your tough on..or at least look like it. This is an adorable and fun boxing outfit from League called Knock Out. It was so cute, I just had to have it. It features a vest with textured boxing gloves (in different layer options) and two different styles of boxing shorts, one short and one ultra short. I went with the ultra short for the photo 
. The ensemble comes complete with sweatbands for your wrists and legwarmers too. So, drop and give me 5 before the big KO round.
Riddle
I just love Riddle..everything is just so snazzy! To be more specific, it’s sexy sweetness to a “T”. This orange Hawaiian print bikini I found irresistible..everything from the colour to the flawless execution of the design and it’s just darned cute! It even comes with flip-flops! Lots of different layering options and two different bikini bottoms are included; one string and one boy shorts style. The adorably fun, ringlet hair with bows that I’m wearing with the bikini comes from Hair By Cher and it’s called Temptation.
Convoitise - Catwoman
*Purr*…I’m so digging this piece of feline sexiness by Convoitise called Catwoman. I’ve bought a few Catwoman outfits in my SL time, but there’s always been something that I’ve not liked in the outfit. Not this one! I love everything from the wiggling ears, black mask and flexi whip and tail. Convoitise has become one of my “must go to” shops!
LoveLace Lingerie…Salute!
A friend of mine once said, and I love this line, that one really only stops being a noob when one discovers Pixel Dolls.
Really, how perfect is that?
I was bopping around Port Seraphine the other day and stopped into LoveLace, which features some wonderful underthings, and I begged one of my fashion heroes, Launa Fauna, to send me some of the great lingerie she offers there. The result made me squeal.
To the left you see Launa’s Satin Dream, which comes in four colors for a mere L$112 per color. I love to have well drawn underwear on hand for those moments when the clothes come off, and this set, with intricately detailed lace and beautiful highlights will be the set I’m wearing the next time someone takes me home or I just feel like lounging around in my panties.
Here we have Rosa, which comes in three colors and is even more exquisite in its detail. The lace trim and subtle highlights and texturing make this a great set of clothing, so much so you’ll be reluctant to cover it up with other clothes. Each color is only L$112.
LoveLace is a great shop and you will find the place literally bursting with great deals on quality clothes by Launa Fauna, Nephilaine Protagonist and Dolce Blackflag. Take a trip and see the place, you’ll be glad you did.
Luxus
This hot little get-up called “Bright Transparency” caught my eye which I found at Luxus and made by Lux Haller. It has lots of layering options depending on how bare you want to go. I really like the texturing of this garment ~ very realistic with a subtle metallic finish. Also available at the store is a very cool pair of metallic pants which can go with it! The shop has fab display pictures and everything including dresses and shoes too! That always gets my shopping twitch going
Pixelfashion Pretty
For the first time, I visited the shop called Pixelfashion and *woot* faboo stuff there! I was completely impressed by the professional presentation (read: fabulous pictures) and the artistry of the clothes! I picked out two dresses that I am absolutely in love with. The first one is a strapless cocktail dress called “Tixy” in beige. In my humble opinion, this could very well be the NEXT big dress. If not, then it certainly should be. The flexi feathers of the skirt are soooo well done and realistic. I first saw a picture of this dress in March, which my Flickr friend Jyla beautifully photographed, but I’d not yet taken a stab at it myself until now.
Next, I picked up “Dorra” in brown. The strapless top swathes you in velvet roping leading into the flowing flexy asymmetrical skirt which is enriched with a matching brown swirl texture on black. Again, the texturing is superb and realistic. I’ve not seen a top quite like this and it’s says sexy sophistication loud and clear.
The shoes are Basevi Moda color change stilettos…love ‘em! You can find them at Basevi Moda mainstore in Templegreen.
