Hair Fair 09 Freebies!

Hello! I know I haven't made a post since March, but due to the fact that I have lost my own laptop (which is a long story too infuriating to tell) I'm sharing one with my boyfriend and it makes blogging, net time, and SL in general hard. However! I come back with a vengeance! Though not too terribly vengeance-y.

I went to the Hair Fair last year and it was still new, so needless to say I wasn't all that excited. Well, that and the fact that I was playing my boy avvy on an event sim catering mostly to females. And this year it still did, BUT! I have my terribly beautiful Sylvie here. :)

Anyway, I was shocked at the number of freebies available there! Not only hair but actual outfits as well. However, I wasn't able to visit all the booths due to lag and inability to enter some of the regions at different times, so I went through my freebies and created a look from them.




I picked up the Hi-Top's from Truth's HF booth. They're really cute and exquisitely detailed. Sort of a spray painted, street look (which is also why I picked this New York back drop, the shoes inspired me :D). The outfit and hair came from Posh, whom I just heard of at the Hair Fair. They have some seriously cute emo inspired hair so they're worth a look.

I also found something AMAZING at the Hair Fair, but that merits it's own post. ;)

Get the look:

Skin- Leona Tan 12, Redgrave
Hair- Cinderella late for the Ball (dollarbie @ HF), Posh
Shirt- Red Polka Dot Doll Dress (top portion, dollarbie @HF), Posh
Shorts- Blue Plaid Booty Shorts (dollarbie @ HF), Posh
Shoes- Hair Fair Hi-Tops, Truth

One short day in the Emerald City...

So a few weeks ago, I was invited to a fairytale party by a friend. I knew everyone and their mother was going to dress up like a princess of some sort, so I opted to be different, and there was this witch outfit at Discord I had been eyeing for some time... Naturally I had to choose a black costume to match my black, evil heart. :)

Can I just tell you how much I love Discord? the outfits are not bad quality at all, and every one is 99L! As a matter of fact, this entire look was built off of bargains (minus the shoes, they're Redgrave but made of awesome so its no big). The skin was only 100L! It came from the incomparable ZsaZsa's House of Beauty. It's a drag queen store, so you'd expect the make-ups to be gawdy and horrible, but if you put them on your feminine shape they actually look REALLY pretty in a couture kind of way. I bought like... six. And the jewelry were freebies too!

I could go on and on with the fun I had with this outfit, but considering there is vastly more to talk about with this post, I figured I'd get to the point. At this party (where my costume went over very well, thank you), my friends kept referring to me as 'Elphaba,' which we all know is the Wicked Witch's real name according to 'Wicked.' And that got me to thinking... I SHOULD TOTALLY PUT LOOKS TOGETHER FOR THE OTHER OZ GIRLS!

For Dorothy, I went more modern, like she was a party girl that happened to wake up in Oz one day, so I put her in the 'Ashton Marie Party Dress' from Pink Outfitters. I didn't buy the dress specifically for this idea, I bought it because I love powder blue and white as a color pairing and this dress was funky and young. I was wracking my brain for some idea to come to me as to what my Dorothy would wear and found this in my 'dress' folder and was like 'YES!' And for the trademark Ruby Slippers, I used Maitreya's Verve Pumps in red, since they seem to be the hot shoe at the moment (seriously, everybody has them).

And then there is what would have to be my favorite outfit, my Glinda.

Again, the dress is from Pink Outfitters, bought at the same time as the Ashton Marie because I'm a sucker for a good dress. I paired it with my Juicy shoes that I wear EVERYWHERE. But those really arent the stars of this piece.

While playing around the 'Magic of Oz' sim scouting for locations, I discovered a shop by Ms. Violet Voltaire and was instantly charmed. Her jewelry reminds my of real-life designer Tarina Tarantino, because they both share the love of pink, candy, and hearts and make beautiful porcelain pieces. She had everything I needed and then some at her mainstore (and she stopped by to visit her shoppers while I was there! She's so nice!). I'm particularly in love with the crown, aren't you?

First Post!

Hi boys and girls! It's me, Sylvie Stratten, making my very first post on my blog! Right now it's a little bit basic, and that's mostly due to the fact that I'm very picky when it comes to graphics, and I really just want to wait until I find that perfect image, you know? However that shouldn't stop me from making posts, and make no mistakes, it won't!

For my first post, I decided to showcase my sick obsession with America's Next Top Model. Seriously, I get chills every time I watch the promo for Cycle 12 on Youtube. It's mostly because that Lady GaGa song is hot. And yes I know it's already aired two episodes but I decided to recreate the promo shoot with some of my own styling. :)





First off, seeing the girls with the Queen Amidala-esque red geisha lips made me think of only one skin, the beautiful Asian 3 from SOUL, part of their new Ethnic line. Each of the Asian skins has a make up like this which is SO great for doing fashion editorials. They really just make my heart happy. :D


The dress is Aoharu's Monroe Graduation Dress in white. For the second photo I embellished it with some sleeve ruffles from Aoharu's Ruffle Shirt Dress, just to make it a little more couture. Either way, this dress is cute, and it's very Marilyn Monroe! Seriously, it twirls and floats when you walk, so you don't have to stand over a steam grate to achieve the same effect.

Skin- Asian 3 M5, SOUL skins
Hair- The Ginza- Browns, Armidi
Dress- Monroe Graduation Dress- White, Aoharu
Shoes- Pinups- White Patent, Stiletto Moody
