Strange Pixels

I set out to create an “autumn fairy” ensemble, for a pinup calendar I’m taking part in.  (I’m Miss. November, if you’re wondering.)  So there I was, trying to think of where to begin, when the notice for this new Autumn Leaf Headpiece from Evie’s Closet falls into my lap.  Eureka!  And what do I see immediately upon rezzing?  This lovely fairy outfit in a variety of colors!  (I picked the red because of the Autumn color scheme, but it I was sorely tempted by the other colors as well.  They’re all quite lovely.)

Never has a themed shoot worked out so perfectly!

I love this set because of all the options, and I’ve tried to show most of them to you here.  Clothing layers from risque to modest, 4 different skirt styles, and a matching pair of wings.  The wings I’m wearing are not the ones from this set.  I chose a pair from Seven’s Selections because of the finer control they give me over animation, size, and flexiness.  However the matching wings are perfect, so I don’t want anyone to think I’m not wearing them because I didn’t like them.

Munchflower has released a line of Equinox skins at Nomine that are just too adorable, with a sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of the nose.  They come in a whole slew of lush makeup colors, and of course I’ll be showing more of them here in future posts because Munch is my skin goddess.

This leaf jewelry set from Shiny Things is an old favorite of mine, and I was very pleased to find out that my SLink feet could be worn with the matching anklets.

(And if you’re interested to see how my pinup turned out… *ahem* I ended up not wearing very much of the outfit. >.> )

I’ve been a bit out of the shopping habit lately, but I recently made up for it and then some at the PixelDolls sale.  Everything is L$ 50 or less!  But I’m not sure how long this sale will last, so get your butt over there if you haven’t already been.

The long skirts from PixelDolls are always some of my favorites.  The glitch-pants are well textured and mesh with the prims extremely well.  They’re flowy and slimline with no bulky prims.  They fit me almost directly out of the box.  And my favorite bit?  Neph never uses alpha textures on her long skirts, so there  is never any interference from shoe invisiprims.

During my recent shopping binge, I also stopped by the Skin Fair. I’m kind of a freebie snob, but I had to grab the dollarbies offered there from Imagen.

Imagen skins are lovely, and I adore all the imperfections like beauty marks and stray freckles.  I have to especially commend them for their excellent freebies.  As a matter of fact, the freebies and dollarbies I’ve picked up at Imagen have been some of my favorite skins from that shop.

The Skin Fair will continue until November 22, and is well worth visiting.

Also of note:  these amazing bracelets from Mandala.  I don’t usually go for no-mod accessories, but I couldn’t resist these gorgeous bronze lotuses.

I dropped by G Field to find a pretty necklace, and spotted these great ankle boots.  Even though they don’t really show in the pictures, I love to see a cool boot peeking out from under a long skirt when I walk.   I’ve tinted these to match the outfit better, and gods bless one of the few shops who still offer modifiable shoes. <3
