“So many books, so little time.” ~ Frank Zappa

A Good Saturday Afternoon

There is nothing more wonderful than a lazy Saturday afternoon browsing books. I took a trip over to Saffronia’s Books after a stop at Café Rosewater, both on the Crestwick Island sim, to get a cup of coffee (large, soy milk, splenda) and browsed through the books. I am never really looking for anything in particular—just looking. I might end up with a book about knitting or a romance novel or even a book of poetry or I might just browse. Once in a while a good art book will catch my attention.

Of course, dressing chic on such occasions is in order, and I assembled several pieces from Shiny Shabby that fit the bill. First a cute shorts set from Giz Seorn with a texture change HUD for the belt and top so I can choose from one of six top colors and two belt colors to coordinate my look. Then I slipped on Cocoro Lemon’s fitted blazer over the top. The blazer comes in several colors and has the option to have a tank underneath. A chic necklace of emerald stones from AvaGardner Kungler and bangles from Jaycee Dover embellish my look. My low-caught ponytail is Mina Nakamura’s ‘do for Shiny Shabby, a beautiful look with strands tucked behind the ears, and cute poses (some of which I modified using my Avimote PoseMaker) from Anne Dakun, allow me to browse at leisure with a coffee in my hand.

A Good Saturday Afternoon

The big news to this look, however, is the release of Bax Coen’s Regency boots, now fit for several mesh bodies and available at her store. Yay! Any oldbie in SL can tell you how Bax made the number one, most desired boot in SL for the longest time, and when mesh came along, Bax had to reconfigure her boots substantially to mesh and with the advent of mesh bodies, she has reconfigured them once again to fit mesh bodies. I found the boots fit my Maitreya body perfectly and looked fabulous. She offers them in several colors (including bright jewel tones) in leather, and then in suede and metallic.

A Good Saturday Afternoon

Monicuzza Babenco has really gotten into making mesh head appliers. (She does wonderful ones for the Lelutka heads.) She has now come out with Omega appliers expressly made for the Logo heads, which allow for a variety of expressions. I also chose to use Thora Charron’s lashes with this head and Ikon Innovia’s mesh eyes. It’s a great time to experiment with the things you have in your inventory to see what will work with the mesh heads to create your own look. Of course, Monicuzza’s skin is gorgeous on this face and includes hair bases!

It’s what you don’t do, the games you don’t play
(It’s what you don’t do) I know you love me, I don’t need proof
Don’t tell the whole world; just wanna be your girl
(It’s what you don’t do, it’s what you don’t do)

The closer we get, oh
The less we need to show

~ “What You Don’t Do” by Lianne LeHavas

What You Don't Do

This is one of those mega blogs where I have so much goodness I don’t know where to start. First is the great song from Lianne LeHavas, which has great meaning for me. Then all this yumminess from Shiny Shabby, starting with a darling dress from xxsaltandpepperxx, which includes a texture change HUD with some great floral and eensy polka dots in au courant colors and styles. Paired with floral-patterned sandals from Nardya Rousselot, it is a perfect summer look. I top it with Diaxm’s gorgeous pansy headband and wear a terrific contemporary ring set from Kathya Szczepanski.

I furnished my scene with various pieces from Shiny Shabby. First I started with Siena Trevellion’s gorgeous leaning door, an ideal piece for any eclectic space. I leaned FadeArcade’s great ladder light on one side and his shelf on the other, which I decorated with vases of flowers from Kean Kelly. Kunst Himmel, who has a love affair with wine, I think, because he makes the most beautiful wine-focused collections, including the ones from his gacha that you see here. A gorgeous rug from FadeArcade’s gacha anchors it all. My poses are a set from Anne Dakun that include a notebook prop that has a texture-change HUD to make the perfect accessory.

What You Don't Do

Focus on that necklace I am wearing. Maxi Gossamer has learned how to translate her SL mesh designs to RL 3D technology and is able to produce her jewelry in RL. She is offering a raffle for anyone that purchases this necklace set. You are entered into a drawing for a necklace from sterling silver that replicates the one shown here. Find more details at her website.

I am wearing Maximillion Grant’s versatile Alex mesh head with the accompanying expression sets. It’s so fun clicking around and finding new expressions and looks. I used Aleida Rhode’s omega applier for her Kate II skin at the Dressing Room (at a ridiculously low price for such a comprehensively complete set of appliers). The skin applied perfectly to the head and made a gorgeous look. Thora Charron just released new hair, and I love how this casual look tucks behind the ear and swirls around the shoulders.
