FINESMITH: I LOVE YOU and INNOCENT LOVE

Hey Guys,

This one is a two for the price of one...but there isn't a price, its totally free haha...  I have from FINESMITH, I LOVE YOU and INNOCENT LOVE Brooch in pink.

   

The above left photo has the necklace and the bracelet from the I LOVE YOU set.  The above right photo is the brooch from the INNOCENT LOVE set.

Both sets are elements that you can see throughout each piece, and that would be the pink petals.  Another element you can see in each piece would be the cream colored pieces.  Like the hearts in the brooch and in the necklace.

Yula has a unique way of combining most any theme or idea with floral ascents; and Valentine's Day is just the place to do this amalgamation.

I hope each and every one of you, my readers, have a wonderful Valentine's Day.

xoxo,
Tae

Eshi Otawara: Asteria

Hey Guys,

I have a speical gift for you, a quick breather for my usual postings.  Eshi Otawara has just released a brand new outfit called Asteria.

The Asteria by Eshi Otawara was inspired by the Titan Goddess, Asteria.  The entire look above is apart of the outfit, including the outfit, hair piece, head piece, and jewelry (except the earrings, those are form FINESMITH).

This oufit is utterly breather taking, when you wear it, you differentially feel like you have a overabundance of power and are loved by many, just like the Titan goddess herself.  The primary colors in Asteria would obviously be red and black, which is such a great combo of colors to wear on any shape and color skin color.

back to black: blackLiquid makeups and accessories

Hey Guys,

I am lucky enough to get my greedy little hands on the exclusive back to black blogger platform LM.  As I was looking around the hovering platform, my eyes fell upon this lovely set of lips accompanied by a matching hat and pair of pony boots.

"So obviously," I thought to myself, "I have to blog these; I mean come on...PONY BOOTS."

Let's start with the five different lips you can find at the back to black kiosk of blackLiquid.  If you click on the actual picture above, you will see the names of each set of lips and what they look like...I absolutely love all five of them.   They kind of remind me of like the seductive colors one would use to represent Valentine's Day lol.

If you are feeling uber lazy and don't feel like clicking on the above photo...here is a list of the five lips in order from left to right.

• black cherry
• blood
• kabuki red
• pinot
• vixen

The next two pieces that I want to blog are the matching hat and pony boots from blackLiquid.  Now, for those who do not know what pony boots are, they are simple boots that are in the shape of a horse's...or pony's hooves.

The defining theme in this entire set would be the differently shaded hearts that appear on the tops of the front of the boots and the sneaky one that is on the ankle portion of the boots as well as the hearts on the lips and the hearts that are on top the hat.  They are to be in ascending order for smallest to largest.  There is also a progression of the shaded heart too.  They are in ascending order, from lighter pink to darker pink.

Overall, this entire collection that blackLiquid has created for the back to black event is astounding, I really cannot wait to see what else comes from this elegant brand.

FINESMITH: ScatterHeart Collection

Hey Guys,

ScatterHeart is a new collection to come to FINESMITH.

Within this collect, there are three sets;

• Black
• Smokey
• Oxidized

In the picture above, I am wearing the Black set of the ScatterHeart Collection.  Each set comes with three pieces: a bracelet, a necklace, and earrings that match.

The necklace has gems that can be seen throughout each piece in this set, but the necklace has a key difference being that large heart in the center of it.  No doubt, the correlation between the 'heart' in the name and the heart in the necklace  You can also see this heart on the bracelet.

Speaking of the bracelet, it has, like stated earlier, a heart in the center with gems around the lower half of the heart itself.  The bracelet wraps the wrist with elegance, just like many of the other pieces FINESMITH has produced.

The earrings on this set are a culmination of the gems to form a large and chunky earring that is so fashion forward right now, in both rl and sl...

FINESMITH: Candybird Boots - Black

Hey Guys,

Is that a bird? It's a plane? It's...well it's actually boots; but don't let the sweet name fool you.  Candybird boots from FINESMITH are FIERCE with a capital "F".

The Candybird Boots are in a large variety of colors including:

• Fuchsia
• Baige
• Pink (there are two types of pink boots)
• White
• Mustard
• Blue
• Brown
• Black
• Grey
• Green

The particular pair that I am have on in the photo are the black version of these boots.  What I find some intriguing about these boots are the side view of them.  Just the high heel and the adornments at the top of the boot really makes it stand out from all over boots of that kind.  I especially love the oversized fabric folded up and out of the opening of the boot; kind of like oversized socks or something like that.

Overall, each and ever pair of boots are special in their own ways and cannot wait to see what comes next in the shoe department of FINESMITH.

xoxo,

New Release from Deesse's Skins

Hey Guys,

I have the pleasure of blogging some new February limited edition skins from the very talented Natalie Wells, or just Natalie if you prefer.  She is the creator and CEO of Deesse's Skins and i had the chance to three of the new skins; Aylin, Angeline, and Mariah.

Each set of skins comes with four kinds of skins.  Then within each type of skin, it comes with either one with a hair base (HB) or one without a hair base.  Along with that choice, you have the option to wear a layer to give yourself cleavage or not.  

The skins, in my opinion, are very realistic and have a touch of color in all of them; well, besides the natural ones LOL.  

Overall, these are some awesome skins and are well worth the L$990 price tag.

FINESMITH: Heartology

Hey Guys,

I am so sorry for that lack of posting lately, I have had some horrid computer problems resulting in my not being able to use PS, get photos, or log into SL.  After hours of support help and time, I am back and ready to start posting again!!

To start off, I think he ate me heart...

Heartology is here at FINESMITH and ready to take flight.  This angelic jewelry set that was just release has three key pieces in total.  There is a bracelet with the recurring wing and love theme.  You can see this theme in the necklace with the wings and heart combination.  Along with the length of the necklace that reach to mid torso.

The most eye-catching piece of the entire Heartology set would be the wings that are spreading out to take flight with.  These wings are just such a wonderful piece of art really.  I honestly cannot think of the words to describe how wonderful this set makes me feel.  Thank you Yula for this angelic set.

xoxo,
Tae

New Release from FINESMITH: Sense of Snow

Hey Guys,

Here is part one of a two part series of sense of...  The first one I will be blogging will be the Sense of Snow Outfit from FINESMITH

The sense of snow outfit is a breath-chilling outfit with the spherical elements dancing around the body like gems.  The outfit has this explosion of spheres around the upper legs that just seem to jet outward in a random order of things

The sphere seem to collimate at the waist were a mesh corset is worn to show of the tiny waist of anyone who wear this.  Then at the top, there seems to be an enlarged collar that makes you feel like you're the Ice Queen herself.

Overall, this Sense of Snow is such a beautiful piece of work.  It seems to hug ever inch of you body and shots outward like some kind of winter fantasy, but expressed in an outfit.  FINESMITH as released yet another grand piece.  Now only if things could get a bit warmer...
