Pixelapproved!

This has not been my best week so far.
Balancing energy is hard on a good day. Add work, life, sensory overload, and a brain that refuses to shut up. Then add nights where 3 am feels like the right moment to deep dive into the Hundred Years’ War. Sleep deprivation does the rest. Everything feels extra, and not in a good way.

I have taken a lot of photos over the past days. Great outfits. Solid content. Then I finally sat down to write and realized my notes were gone. I also forgot to save several outfits. Half credits are no credits. Until the brain fog lifts and I can reconstruct everything properly, those images will stay on my hard drive.

So today, I went with the flow.

I am showing Glam Affair’s latest skin, Ansel, available at Collabor88. I am wearing her on LaLUTKA Madrid. She is almost perfect. There is a stronger shadow on the right side of the nostril, but in this light it works beautifully.

What I love most about Ansel is the lips. They are natural. Many skins, including some from Glam Affair, come with fuller default lips. That often clashes with SL lipsticks, which are usually overdrawn. The result can look like a fresh filler appointment. Ansel avoids that completely.

Before getting dressed and adding makeup, Ansel looks dewy and fresh. Natural brows. Clean skin. I am wearing Avi-Glam Romance eyes from Cupid Inc. The light reflection is a tiny heart, which I adore. My hair here is Lumi Belle by Studio Exposure, styled in a sleek bun. I skipped the loose bangs. They are just not my thing. I am wearing the Ara Lounge set by Mellow Elie. It is not new, but it is still my favorite loungewear. Jewelry is the Petit Coeur set by Yummy.

Once dressed, I switched to Cupid hair by Truth. Or better said, by Litterbug, Truth’s real life daughter. When I first met Truth, she had just been born, if not still on the way. Now she is a creative force with her own aesthetic. Her profile mentions upcoming accessories in Truth’s store. I am very excited to see what she brings. The makeup I am wearing also comes with the Ansel skin.

My top and skirt are by Klein, picked up during the weekend sale. If you are quick, it might still be available at a discount. It is worth it. My Rose shoes are by KC Couture, also from the weekend sales. As usual, a great deal, with a HUD offering 55 colors.

I hope I will be in better shape next time we meet.

XO,
