Down with Blogger!

I don't have much to say, other than the fact that I hate the new Blogger interface, and I'm not sure how the hell to get paragraph breaks now, since apparently it's going to smoosh everything together.

What a Mesh!

See what I did there? Heh. So, I saw this totally adorable mesh dress on a blog... well, many blogs, actually, and I went to the store and I really liked most of the dresses in their new collection. So I grabbed the demos, ran home and tried them on and the fit was... a little off, but nothing so bad that I didn't think I could fix it easily. So I bought three dresses.

I was wrong. Now, I don't understand why they don't use standard sizing, because most places do, and at this point, it's really the norm. The dresses are really cute, but if I could go back, I wouldn't buy them. I suppose it's my own fault for assuming I could easily fix it. That said, I don't even understand their sizing. The small size is too small, but the extra small isn't. How does that make ANY sense. Anyway. I had to mod my shape pretty severely to wear the dress pictured below, and it's still not perfect, I just gave up.

This Post Brought to You by the 80's

I had to have my picture taken for the club, and the theme was 80's, so I threw this together. And I have no idea where I got this dress, I've had it for ages. 041612_05_edited Today though, I did an experiment. First, I took a picture of myself with my graphics set on "low," like I usually do. Then I upped them to "Mid," (my computer gave a protesting cough) and snapped one. And then, despite my poor computer's wheezing, I upped them to "High," and then to "Ultra." What I noticed was that there was barely a difference between low and mid, there was a tremendous different between mid and high, and again, not much of a difference between high and ultra. I could barely move, or even get a picture taken though, with it on high, so I'm not sure I'll be doing it often. My poor computer. I do wish my graphics care was even a tiny bit better, so the edges wouldn't be so rough. But, such is life. Hit the pose fair today and got a few things! I barely touched on it though, so I'm sure I'll go back before it's over. What I'm Wearing: Dress: SD Wears (God bless edit object.) Shoes: Stiletto Moody Hair: Truth Earrings: Glow Studio Bracelets: Je Suis Until next time! xoxo Erin

And the Gun Goes...

...Bang, bang, bang. I pulled the trigger. Got a new skin, and I look about 20. Hey, I'm not complaining. I think I really like it, but time will tell. And today I went shopping and spent... a lot. Way more than I should have. And didn't really get that much. I really love Celoe's stuff, but personally, I think they're a little pricey. 450L for a pair of pants is a bit high, in my humble opinion. That said, I'm not going to stop shopping there, because the quality is great, and the styles are super cute.

Mesh! I love mesh. I do not love mesh sizing. My top is medium (and this is after I made my boobs smaller, because they wouldn't fit and large was WAY too big) and my bottom is XS. What kind of craziness is that? Look at my ass! There's no way it's an XS! So weird. Anyway, behold my mostly mesh outfit, including hair.

And yes, the photo is much better than usual because I didn't take it, a friend did. He did a nice job!

Until next time!

Fly Me to the Moon!

I've been watching a lot of "Mad Men" lately, and I'm feeling somewhat vintagey. I know that's not a word. I don't care. Anyway, the dress is a littttttttle shorter than I really think the jacket calls for, but hey, I've got good legs, I can pull it off.

I snapped the picture on the Mayfair sim, home to Celoe and Mon Tissue, which is seriously the most gorgeous shopping sim I think I've been to. But holy lag and crash issues. I really like the stores, but I crashed three times, and just rezzing takes a while, since the whole sim is mesh.



So, League released a new skin, and I actually got the demo for it, because this is what I do. I get the demos for skins, and then I try them, and then I delete them, because I love my skin and haven't ever been able to find one that even remotely compares. I seriously haven't changed skins in about a year and a half. And I've had the same shape (with a few tiny tweaks) since about my third day in SL. Clearly, I reject change.

But. I love this skin from League. I mean, I sat and stared at myself for about half an hour. And then I snapped a picture of it, and a picture of my regular one, and compared them side by side. And then I went back and forth. I really like it, but do I like it as much? I'm so torn. I really need to just bite the bullet and make a decision, but it's so hard! D:

Anyway... what I'm wearing:

Jacket: LeeZu
Dress: MichaMi
Shoes: Ingenue
Hair: Exile
Jewelry: Glow Studio

Until next time!

I've had this dress for... Gosh, forever, and I've never worn it, because I never really liked it that much. I threw it on today, thinking that I may as well wear it, because I was planning on paying rent and running to get some new lashes, and not much else, so it didn't matter. And I ended up putting the whole thing together and I really like it, dress and all. Accessories are helpful!

So I added a second pair of lashes on top of my original lashes... and I'm undecided. I like how much fuller they are, but I'm worried it's too much. Is it too dark? I ask that question as though more than one person reads my blog. I meant to take a closeup and forgot, so that's that.



What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Armidi
Shrug: Boom
Shoes: G Field
Jewelry: Caroline's
Hair: Truth
Headband: Glow Studio

Home is Where the Closet Is

I got a new house! I think it's okay. I got home and realized it has alpha windows... And I don't know how long I can live with that. I managed to get it fairly done within two days, which is REALLY good for me. Anyway, pictures!









See how the lanterns bleed through the window? Damn alpha windows.

Just the living room for now, because I'm not happy with the bedroom/bathroom yet. Anyway, that's it for now!

Until next time!

Gasp!

I don't know. It sounded good with the pose. I got dressed today in less than an hour! Life is good. I was going to hunt down a cute sim that went with my outfit, but I just didn't have that kind of time. RL is demanding! So you get my yard. Again.

I did, however, go pose shopping. I picked up a couple, but not too many because I just didn't have time to look at all of them. Maybe next time. I love this outfit though, loooooooooove it. And I'm in love with those bracelets from LOULOU. Clearly.



All right, gotta get back to cooking!

What I'm wearing:

Shirt: DeeTaleZ
Skirt: League
Socks: H+K
Shoes: G Field
Hair: Truth
Headband: Leo
Jewelry: LOULOU&Co.

Until next time!

Listen, I'm a Pro

Table dancing... I rock a picnic table. I picked up this top at Collabor88 the other day, and I like it... sort of. The Sea Hole makes such cute stuff, but I really think they need to embrace mesh and run with it. Their stuff is so primmy. Anyway. I'm tired as hell and I've had a long day, so I'm posting and running.

Put a Spring in Your Step!

I actually just kind of threw this together, but I really like it. The dress is new, though I don't think it's new to the store, just to me, but I can't be sure. And I took the picture in my yard, because I love it and it's very summery, just like my dress.



And I can shop AND go to work in this outfit. Score.

So I've been attempting to decorate my house for... months? And I just have been having a hell of a time. And now that I did my yard (and I use the word "I" very loosely, because I had help) I have like 30 prims left or something. And I want to decorate SO badly. I love that I downgraded because I was barely on SL and therefore didn't need all those prims, and now I'm back and immediately am like "I NEED MORE PRIMS NOW NOW NOW." And I tell myself I don't need anymore prims, that I have more than enough, but. My house is so EMPTY. All I have is a bunch of sex furniture and a couple of chairs. (The sex furniture goes unused, mind you. I would never get up to anything like that!)

Prims: Now and forever, the Everest of SL. The bane of my existence. And all other dramatic ways of whining.

Anyway!

What I'm wearing:

Dress: DeeTaleZ
Shoes (not that you can see them): Stiletto Moody
Hair: Truth
Jewelry: LOULOU&co and Croire

Until next time!
