Set Home to Here: February 19, 2011

Set Home to Here: February 19, 2011

After I made my initial Set Home to Here post last night, I found this image lurking in my images folder. (It doesn't really surprise me that he idea of documenting my log in screens has occurred to me before, as I'm also the type of person who photographs her hotel room on vacation.) Though you can't see as much of my SL living space in the March image, it still provides an idea of how much it's changed in just two months. (The desk, table, and blue chair in that image are where the television and brown chair are in this one.)

Since it wasn't a Dress for Blogging day, I didn't take notes on my look, so I've forgotten some of the specifics (like what skin I was wearing), but I've included what details I could track down below.

Hair: Doris - Blue by Amacci
Shirt: My Other Avatar is a Draenei by Boom ($1L)
Boots: Doc Mason's Tall Womens V3 by MK Fashion
Skirt w/ Belt: Tartan Miniskirt by Edge Grafica (Which now seems to be no more.)
Socks: Mismatched Old Socks by Canimal (Sadly, now defunct.)

Blueberries on Toast

Lola

I spent an absurd amount of time stalking the Lucky Boards at Dilly Dolls tonight, but my creepy patience paid off in the form of three skins and three outfits! (Much thanks to Whisper Despres at The Lucky Dispatch for letting her readers know about the boards.) Featured in this post are the Emile set in Violet and the Lillie skin. As someone with a shorter-than-average avatar who has a few curves, it's unusual for prim clothing to fit me right out of the box, so I was extremely pleased to discover that I only had to make a very minor adjustment to the prim corset which comes with this outfit -- everything else fit perfectly! While there's a lot to like about this outfit, I have to say that my contrary nature makes the mis-matched stockings my favorite feature.

The skin is gorgeous, with lush lips and detail which stands up to the scrutiny of a cam zoom, it's a wonderful addition to the inventory of anyone who appreciates a dark carny aesthetic. (It also comes with a "No Brows" option, but I haven't actually had the time to try that version on yet.)

At the moment, Dilly Dolls offers five different lucky boards for skins and three lucky boards for clothing. The skins remain the same for every round, but the clothing changes with each letter. As far as I can tell, there are two boards for women containing five different dresses in a variety of colors, and one board for men containing two outfits and what seems to be a fat pack of jewel-colored tank tops. There are also two Midnight Madness boards nearby, and a $10L - $25L retirement sale in front of the store.

The boots are actually men's boots from Deco resized to fit my avatar. The process was a bit tricky but ultimately fairly easy to do, even with my rudimentary building skills. At $300L, they were a mild splurge, but well worth it. (I'd be lying if I said I'm not hoping for an excuse to buy the metallic red pair as well.)

Finally, yes, those are simple texture nails I'm wearing. I generally don't wear prim nails because they're so finicky when it comes to AOs, so I tend to forget about them when it comes time to photograph my outfits. Moving forward, I'll be making more of an effort to bring my avatar's manicure out of the past and into the eye-poking present.

Cheap & Cheerful


Cheap & Cheerful in Dmitr's New Digs


Since this journal has been sitting here collecting dust since 2007, and I've been making detailed Second Life fashion posts over on Flickr since 2008, I decided to use this space as a little Second Life fashion blog. Yes, there are a million of them, but I'm simply doing this for the fun of it. I will mostly be focusing on cheap and free items, but I'll also feature the occasional splurge and even sometimes venture into the territory of home decorating and furnishing.

The photos in this entry were taken at Dmitr Revnik's current work-in-progress. Dmitr always builds the coolest houses, each one better than the last. Perhaps someday the residents of Second Life will get lucky and he'll venture into the world of virtual retail. Until then, you'll just have to be satisfied with getting glimpses of his builds here.

Frick is having a massive sale right now -- EVERYTHING in the store is AT LEAST 50% OFF -- which means fat packs of 24 skins can be had for only $299L! I grabbed the following two items at the sale along with a bunch of other stuff:

Skin: Dragonfly L'Exposition - Ghost - Dk Brows - Clvg by Frick - $50L (4pk)
Lingerie: Belle Epoque Set in Dragonfly by Frick - $75L (This is a HUGE set with two skirt options.)

Frick is also currently having a Sweetheart Mini Hunt.
