Effortless Elegance

Published on by GraziaLeave a comment

Being elegant in SL is not much different from RL. I used to attend some fashion shows in SL, mainly when a stylish vainpyre who happens to be my immortal brother used to grace the runway with his pixels and I was always fascinated with what SLmodels and show producers consider(ed) to be high fashion and/or elegance. An overload of accessories, attachments, intricate prim torturing outfits (pre-mesh) on stick thin models with maxed-out boobs which would cause them serious back pain in RL (or to tip over because top heavy). To be honest, fashion shows in SL used to be my guilty pleasure, my trainwreck that I could not look away from. Elegance for me is less is more. Or like Mme Chanel used to say, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off“

Today’s skin is one of the weekend sales offers from Guapa, Marieta, worn on LeLUTKA‘s Avalon. I’m wearing Wings ER1203 hair with it, which is out now at Anthem and Tville’s Stardust eyes. I have added some freckles from the Boheme Collection from Jack Spoon and I am wearing here the Tattered sweater from Tres Blah

Beautiful skin doesn’t need much, so I went with Goreglam Dior eyeshadow, which I made slightly less opaque because I wanted it a bit lighter than the full 100% version, and my lipstick, oh my lipstick, is from Nuve, the Glam Lipstick Chic from Anthem, which is also available in a Gothic version. She should have called it Chicstick because it’s so gorgeous and flawless and chic.

Nothing says elegance like a high waist pencil skirt, which I am wearing in a knit version here from Stories & Co. Weekend sales, so the min set of 4 colours per body type is only 60L$! You don’t need to spend a fortune to look like a million dollar! To keep it semi casual, instead of a crisp shirt, I decided to go with this cropped sweater from Reign, but to glam it up with Yummy‘s Holiday party set, Pure Poison‘s Lady Pumps, and a simple tote from DDL… There, that is all.

I woke up like this

[UPDATE] just tested positive. Thanks people on the bus wearing no masks and coughing and sneezing all over! I normally feel like an idiot when I mask on the commute… At least I hope I didn’t pass it on to someone

From super cute the last blog, to super bleh today! Nothing more capricious than my state of mind and health. Can I just hybernate until spring? Pretty please? I have a cold, my nose is stuffed, my sinuses are stuffed, my head feels stuffed and OMG, it is the busiest time of year at work. CAN.NOT.BECOME.ILL! Either way, to match the look to how I am feeling, it actually took a bit of work, because most skins in SL look pretty gorgeous out of the box! This one is Inez from Eudora Beauty which I picked up at the store last weekend, for a discounted price and I am wearing her on LeLUTKA‘s Kaya head. I added Izzie’s Blemishes, Saxo‘s Flu Face, Dernier‘s Kim contour cheeks and cupid’s bow, as well as Izzie’s eye bags. I toned down the chapped lips from the Saxo Flu face a bit with Top1Salon‘s No Lipstick lipstick. Oh, and I did not take off my Izzie’s mascara last night, hence the extra smudge and shadows around my watery Glory eyes from Avi-Glam, which comes with 3 options for the whites, and while I usually pic version A, which is the whitest and brightest, I went with version C today, for that extra “I’m not ready for today” look.

No contacts in my irritated eyes today, instead, I put the Kandy glasses of Deep Static on my nose. My hair is a lovely mess from Tram, K0158 and I wrapped the Get Warm scarf from Sorumin on my neck. I don’t think I am actually going to get dressed today, so here’s my outfit, the Baggy Over & Undershirt from Fashionably Dead, (un) matched with Alaskametro‘s Hygge leggings and Ison‘s Amarah combat boots. Stylish? Nah, but warm and comfy! and that is what counts today!

Flo Memel, the creator of Stories & Co, has made a new sub-brand Hold Me, which will bring us… HOLDABLES! The coffee is delicious, and the books captivating. How about “Never Lie to a Witch” Or “Stephanie in Paris” I’m really excited about this, I know there are a lot of holdables in SL already, but I like this kind of stuff!

This is as ready as I am going to be today, wearing a total mix-up of warm and comfy clothing. The longer I look at it though, the better I like it. Hopefully this cold will get better soon!

Super Cute

Yup, I am feeling super cute today! Give me all the girly things! I am wearing LeLUTKA‘s Avalon today and look how adorable Mila‘s Steffy skin is on her??

I love blonde hair with hazel or brown eyes, so I went with Tville‘s Elegant eyes in hazel and Studio Exposure‘s Bubblegum hair in blonde. Let me make a back pic because the hair accessories coming with this hair are so adorable! You will need some basic editing skills to make it fit your hair though!

I’m wearing The super comfy ribbed thermo set from Stories & Co, The band knit top is out for FLF and the leggings are for the weekend sale, so it’s a steal! Put on a pair of warm socks from Ison and a little denim jacket that Blueberry has out for the Saturday Sale, and this is my lounge outfit for the day!

However, can’t be lazy all day! After all, it’s Saturday, and that usually means grocery restocking! And while I don’t dress up big to hit the stores, I’m also not that person who will be featured on People of Walmart with my fashion atrocities!

I put on a light makeup which I scored early cam shopping at Harajuku which opens tomorrow! My eyeshadow is by Reverie, Eira, where I doubled up on nr. 11 V1 & 2 to have this hue and my lipstick is by Jack Spoon, called Cherry Fizz, and a light blush from the Jade add-on pack by Deetalez, which is not at Harajuku, but a regular main store purchase.

Like I said, no heavy stying for the groceries, actually, I am being pretty lazy today, because the Blueberry Blessed set for The Saturday Sale is all you need to look cute out in the world! I put on the pink sweater under the jacket I was already wearing before and added the pleated skirt. Then all that was left was a pair of thigh-high socks, and luckily I found them with Dead Doll Tragedeigh boots. Put a brush through my hair and added a little beanie. Hair and beanie are from Wasabi, and they were part of this week’s FLF. Grabbed my keys and cell phone from Hive and I am ready to go! Catch you later!!
