Second Style Magazine

Early this week Celeb asked me if I would be able to do a review on some of Onyx Leshelle’s goodies from Maitreya. I’ll be honest to admit that I accepted reluctantly as I did see some work of Ony’x on others before and was not that much impressed with it. All the better was the surprise when Onyx dropped like a ton of awesome good things on me. She’s not only making clothes, but shoes and hair as well, and the poses I used in this post are also available in her shop and made by Beauvoir Roussel.

Since SL hates me taking pictures in world at the moment, I just picked a few of the items to put together for showing to you. The jeans is so much fun, it has all cute details like the sewn on pockets, the leather strap at the button and the skinny version comes with zippers on the calves (obviously no stretch fabric). There’s is also a no prim version with straight legs and the one with prim cuffs that I wear in the photo. The cut off hotpants are a classic in my SL wardrobe. I chose to wear the non belted one, but it comes also with a cute leather and red polkadotted  belt. Did not know which to to wear with it though. The tops were the most wonderful surprise to me. Whereas in earlier things I saw the front and back not perfectly matched and some symmetry issues, these are just great. Lovely textures, great execution. My faves are the wrapped tops that I wear with the hotpants. They have a cute prim brooch that comes with it in a couple of sizes and gemstones. The hair, although not my personal taste, has the greatest find in a long time, a face illumination prim attached to it, to help you look your best in crappy SL light, leaving your chin free for other attachments, and the shoes.. oh dear, they are yummy. Those sandals, they make me want to go shopping in RL to find a pair just like these.

A special compliment for the great poses. Besides the modeling poses which I think are really good and original, there are also runway poses that have multiple animations and a smooth shift from one to another. I dropped some in my AO the other day and just love to see how they animate my avie.

This is an easy post on credits, as almost everything is from Maitreya. Credits go to the skin, which is Entice Almond by Nora, and the necklace which is the new Dreamweaver from Earthtones Boutique.
