La Femme Closing Already!

Alas, my friend Lois Milgrove, whose shop La Femme my last posts were about, is closing. As a result, she has slashed her prices down to 25L per dress! Go over there right now and be gluttonous! Lol!

I'm wearing Pink Fuel 50L Skye Milk skin, Fishy Strawberry sweater (sale), GF Flower Pumps, La Femme skirt, Heart Softens Riri and a few other items in my bedroom.

As a result of all these other things I keep finding to do, I feel I set my bar too high and will be breaking one of my own pet SL fashion blogging peeves, which is not posting every single detail of where to find things. I know that so much of what I cover is freely available and probably covered more excitingly that what I do - which is finding cute looks using all the incredible items to be found in SL. Finding these things and doing things while wearing them seems to be more of a focus for me lately. Perhaps this will encourage iming! I dunno. I'll just name off a few things and if you can't find them, IM or note me in world. Let's see how it works. Who knows, it might be less boring for all!?!?!?

In light of that decision, I thought it would also give me the excuse to show random photos of my av wearing the various thing I find, mod or make even, along with my galleries and art and my newest shop: Leonie Textures and Sundries - opening soon!!! without having to spend days and days setting up for the shoot and documenting the whole thing when it's already been documented on the feeds! And you all know that keeping up with just the basic feeds these days is a full time job in and of itself, much less blogging the whole thing!

I believe it was Strawberry Singh who showed shots from the lovely Pixel Bean Coffee Shop sim and so I ended up there last night in layers of things I'd just recently bought or tried on. I also used the sim's windlight settings for something different that my standard "best light" settings so I thought my effect kinda cool.

In this lovely spot, I've got on an incongruous fur hat hair gift from 3636, 120L sweater from Pig, a free indigo dress and tinted ring from paper couture and some free nails from RezIpsa Loc. I loved those 50L The Squares Ethel Glasses at TastyBeans and had to have them even though I don't need glasses in Second Life. Oh yes and of course the fantastic group gift skin Eva from Glam Affair - only 30L to join and sooo worth it!

Ciao for now folks!

TVDH №3 & The Vault

-The Vault- is one of Second Life's little Gem's and vintage clubbing at its best. This jazz club with DJs who play the best in big band, swing, and neo-swing, create an atmosphere of romance and class that can easily rival any of the clubs in SL. I love the live performers too, and -The Vault- delivers the best talent I have seen on SL . I sum -The Vault- up as "Glamorous Old Hollywood at its BEST". If you see me at -The Vault- don't hesitate to say hi and let me know you made it!!

Carlyle Theas Wardrobe Solution

I've been using Carlyle Thea's Wardrobe for the past month and it is, by far, THE BEST purchase I've made in SL. What makes it unique is that you can view and manage your inventory online without paying upload fees. If I'm looking for hair, I just click on the hair tag and it pulls up all of the hair in my inventory. The same goes for shoes, gowns, etc. Recently I was looking for outfits to enter The Dressing Room contest, so I clicked on the TDR tag I created and it pulled up everything from The Dressing Room (TDR) that's in my inventory in seconds. Its truly amazing.

So how does it work?

1. Purchase or receive a new outfit.
2. If the outfit has a texture, just drag the texture into the HUD. Enter the name of the outfit in local chat, followed by the tags you want to assign to it and any remarks once prompted.
3. If the outfit does not have a texture, take a snapshot of yourself wearing the outfit in SL and email it to the wardrobe email address. In the body of the email, indicate the tags you want to assign to the outfit and the remarks.
4. The outfit will appear on the wardrobe website in a few seconds and you can then easily sort and view your inventory.
5. Drag the folder containing your clothes into the RLV folder.

(In order for this to work, the textures must be full perm and you must use the RLV feature of the viewer.)

The best part about the wardrobe is that you can change your clothes directly from the website. As long as you are wearing the HUD in SL, you can click on a button from the website and it will remove the clothes that you are currently wearing and replace them with the outfit you selected.




Another cool feature is that the HUD comes with a pose stand and background to assist with your snapshots. 15 poses and 5 backgrounds are included and you can add more at any time to personalize the HUD. This basically turns your pose stand into a mini photo studio.

While its time consuming to add a large inventory to the wardrobe, the texture upload feature speeds up the process and its sooooooooo worth the time it takes to get organized. I've discovered clothes I didn't know I had and have purged some truly awful pieces I received as a newbie.
