Sorry I've been away so long! I got sucked into playing some new games. Oops. *whistles innocently*

Anyway! After skimming about 4,000 fashion blog posts (I just look at the pictures!) this dress from Pacadi Jasha caught my eye. Yes, that's a system skirt! I've never hated system skirts — well, not exactly. Prim skirts tend to make me twitch because they never look quite right on my shape. System skirts don't look that great, either, but at least I know they'll cover me properly.

I'm really, really liking Free Speerit's Fiona line of skins. Without a doubt they're among my favorites. The eyebrows really wow me — they're just the right shape. The skintone is just a teeny bit red/orange for my taste, but I don't mind. The skin is too good overall to give it a pass on color alone.

To top things off, I added Samantha, one of Truth's latest designs. I don't usually wear hair that covers one eye, so I decided to step out of my comfort zone a bit. Not wearing glasses (another change I've made recently) made this choice a lot easier, since I didn't have to worry about weird collisions between the hair and the glasses.

My first Look of the Day for men! I'd planned to do this a long time ago but never got around to it.

The standout for me in this look is the shoes. (I know, big surprise coming from me, right?) While Urban Bomb Unit's PornStars have been blogged to death by now, I'd never paid attention to them until I needed a good pair of sneakers. And wow, are these ever good! I'm totally floored by these shoes. It's not just the attention to detail, but the customizability! Every little bit of these shoes can be changed to a wide variety of colors and textures. These shoes are sim-friendly, too: once you have them customized the way you want, just make a copy of them, then use the built-in script removal command. Zero-lag shoes!

UBU really needs to get into the women's shoe market. They'd make a killing offering this kind of variety and quality at a reasonable price.

Launa Fauna has released her new line of skins, Chai Nova and Chai Sable! My one-sentence review: They're a wonderful evolution of the brand!

No huge inspiration behind today's look, I'm afraid. Saturday was the first anniversary of CodeBastard Redgrave's sim, Rouge, and I wanted to dress appropriately for the celebration! That meant red — lots of red!

The hand fan from Digital Eyes is a prize I won while at Codie's party. It's red, so it's an obvious addition to the look!
