Issue 41 – Style Icon

0

It has come to my attention that there was an error on our part in the most recent issue of Second Style Magazine.

Sometimes along the way of putting a magazine together, there will be a few details left out or maybe even a mistake made. We work very hard to insure that does not happen but sometimes it cannot be helped.

It is unfortunate that we did not give proper credit in our Style Icon piece  for our November issue to the dynamic photographer who took the images, Takeshi Kiama.

We respectfully apologize for this error and hope you can understand it was an honest mistake, there was no malice intended.

Please take some time to visit Takeshi’s flickr, he has some amazing photos, and also check out his blog Essence of SL.

My skin smells like peaches

I asked my husband tonight if he reads my fashion blogs and he said that they are all about girl clothes, so he just looks at the pictures. Fair enough. So in honor of his honesty, I will keep this blog short and not too wordy.


Glam Affair released a new skin, Eva, and I am a definite fan. I added a few tattoo layers, dimples and a beauty mark…love.  My outfit is from a few of my favorite stores, the skirt is from Coco’s which I am pretty sure I own everything from there. It is just so so well made and I love the variety. The stole is from DP yumyum and I cannot wait to try it on with a pair of jeans, simple tanktop and boots. What boots? Ohhh, I am so glad you asked! Lemme show you.

Taking more than her share

0

I am not normally the kind of girl you can put in a box but since this is SL….


Sway Dench from Sway’s Design was sweet enough to send over one of her latest releases, swAyNimation – Art’Box  and I love it. You have 10  choices of colors for inside the box, but I picked white for all three of my pics.  You don’t have to be as boring as I am though! Go crazy with it..pick a pink, blue, purple, yellow, etc color! Also 6 different poses, not just the three I am showing.

Oh, let me tell you about my shorts. Kyoot has very cool micro pants with wide belts in different colors. You need these.  So sexy. Speaking of sexy…someone please tell me why I have not been to DE in ages? What was I thinking?  A few years ago, I used to go there pretty regularly and looking back…many of those things hold up in regards to how well made they are.  The top I am wearing is the DE Roxy Leather Shirt and it screamed … YOU NEED ME…when I walked by it..so who am I to resist? I’m not.

Boots…Stellar makes very very cute winter boots. Did you think Lexi Morgan was all about the short skirts and hot ass outfits? WRONG. She makes boots, hair, jewelry, eyes, skins, shoes and makeup tattoo layers. Have you been to her newly remodeled sim? It is made to look like NYC and they did a….stellar job. Shush, don’t judge me.

Some of the best fitting dresses in SL are by none other than the lovely Kelly Iwish from Elate! First time I found her store, I went so nuts that she actually tp’ed in to meet me. I have been a big fan since that day and she just keeps getting better and better. Gorgeous styles, beautiful fit and she just really seems to enjoy what she does…it shows in every design.

Oh, check out that gorgeous skin…the latest from my favorite skinner – Iki of Dutch Touch. Adore, adore…adore, she never ever disappoints. I know I always go on and on about my Dutch Touch love, but can you blame me?

Hair? Why the latest beauty from Truth.

Till next time.

Friday afternoon my husband called me at work to ask me if I wanted to go away for the night..um YES! So yesterday at this time we were in the beautiful fresh mountain air. Today? We are home, under covers on the couch watching movies and football because it is rainy and chilly. Sigh.

I know what I did but I still don’t know the reason

I am going to cheat today with my blog picture…and you can see why, right?

My sweet Leah <3

In the middle of putting an outfit together to blog, my lovely friend Leah McCullough of Naive and of Leah McCullough Photography decided to cheer me up after a pretty blah day and take a picture of us together. Um…YES. I have to say that she was very patient with me while I made dinner (ordered pizza) and sat down for a lovely meal (in front of the tv) and cleaned up (threw away the paper plates and gave crusts to the pugs).  I adore the picture, it came out awesome and literally once I got my act together..it took her like 15 minutes tops to take it.

Leah is a vision of beauty…as always and I have her style credits listed down there. If you are wanting a portrait taken, do not be shy..simply IM her and she will get you all set up!

Second Style Guest Blogger – Grazia Horwitz

The beautiful Grazia Horwitz just celebrated her 4th rezday yesterday and has been been charming us across the grid with her fashion sense ever since.  Grazia used to actually be one of the original bloggers here..and well, I will let her tell you in her own words.

Grazia Horwitz
I never thought I’d be posting here again, and much less being so excited about it.

It’s been 4 years since I first logged on to Second Life and almost 4 years since I posted my first entry on Second Style blog, and we’re both still around! Go on, I encourage you to check the archives and look up some of my old entries on Second Style blog. I did, and it was a mix of “dawww” and “omg, what was I thinking” when I saw my old work back (http://blog.secondstyle.com/2006/12/sols-city-trips.html) . Second Style, after so many years, is still an icon in SL fashion publications, with the oldest -and in my opinion- best known magazines and the blog, which, after a period of being pretty dormant, has been succesfully revived. Kudos to the current contributors!!

But before I really lose myself in reminiscing, let’s go on to the purpose of this entry, sharing fashion with you guys!

I’m wearing this week’s 50 L$ Friday item from Kyoot, which of course right now is not available anymore, but you can still grab the black version of the Micro Pants and the Soft Warm Neck Wrap which is out for this week’s Stumblebum brigade.

The lacey top is another exclusive. The Claven Lace Blouses from Whippet & Buck are available exclusively at their shop at Le.Look . It’s a beautiful match of romantic lace, with an edgy zip up back.

I have paired the outfit with  Tesla’s violet Kensington boots and fri.day’s Mauve Wide Waist Belt (coloured for a ton sur ton effect and to match the boots). The rings I’m wearing are both from Paper Couture, the Limelight ring left and the Spring Multi Stone ring on my right hand.

Last but not least, I’m wearing Laq’s new skin Isabel in fair (make up 3) with the black eyebrow add-on, and Boon’s BAB853 hair in chocolate.

So a few of these items I’ve had hanging around in my inventory for a while, and haven’t had a chance to use them which is sad because they are quite good. I’ve just not had a chance to use them till now! I was going for a dressed up casual look, I wasn’t aiming for a specific look, and I wasn’t quite sure what to do! So I started with a Jacket which I had sitting around and added a top, some jeans from Zaara which could be my favorite and some boots which I had in my inventory, and I had totally forgotten about and you get this!Danial Guisse
Gabriel is a new-ish brand, well new to me which is quickly becoming one of my favourite pieces to wear! They’re so versatile and he has a lot of different stuff especially for guys that hasn’t really been done before in SL which I insist you go check out, after you finish reading this post!
