Look of the Day, 2009-11-16
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.

Topping it all off is the Hooded Blazer from Decoy, sans hood. The hood sculpt is well-made but didn't really fit with the look I was putting together. The blazer looks quite nice despite no prim collar or cuffs.

Tesla Vixen Desire!
UPDATE, October 13: Tesla has corrected the animation problem I described above! The foot animation now plays correctly with pose stands, furniture and dances. Tesla now also includes a separate copy of the animation with the shoes in case you need it. If you purchased the previous version of the shoes, just contact Tesla for a replacement.

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.

Look of the Day, 2009-09-23
Today's outfit is a confluence of several things I've wanted to use lately.
It's no secret I like purple. I haven't worn this corset from SF Design in quite a while (pic NSFW!), and I've been itching to use it as outerwear. On top of that, I got the opportunity to dig out my Natasha heels from Tesla Miles. They're an old favorite of mine, and I'd never worn the purple ones — ack!
I've wanted new jewelry for a long time now. I always have trouble finding jewelry I like, so I jumped at the chance to check out the Jewelry Fair. I think it's official: Mouse Mimistrobell is my new crack dealer. Her Abalone Dreams necklace is simple, goes with just about anything, and nicely draws attention to my cleavage. ;)
Then there's the backdrop. I received this prefab hallway as a gift through the Distributors' Showcase Network. The walls, doors and floor are customizable via a menu and include several different textures. A visit to Voshie Paine's shop, La Petite Morte, is definitely in my future!

Yesterday I went on a bit of a shopping spree. New glasses, new skin (I love Launa Fauna's new CHAI skins!), new eyes, new hair, new glasses... I also spent a bunch of money in Pixeldolls, the results of which will no doubt show up here soon. :) Still, I didn't completely neglect my existing clothes. I mixed in the new with some of the old. Little Rebel and Miriel still have a special spot in my inventory, even if their stores are gone.

I wanted something simple and elegant today. I also wasn't feeling much for color, so I went with black — for everything. :P The only color is a hint of purple in the gems of my necklace and earrings.
I love these new pumps from SLink. The last pair of D'Orsays I wore much were made by Sylfie Minogue, long before the days of sculpts or prim feet. I'm happy to say these shoes are more than a worthy successor!
