A Maitreya Summer...

Maitreya has some fabulous new releases, including lines of the adorable summery Viento Skirt and Bastille Tops (both come in a huge amount of color choices)

The skirt has a resizable script, and you can also change the color of the belt.

Skirt with rose belt color option.

Back detailing.

One of my favorite skin stores, !Imabee, is having a 50% off skin sale! Above is a close-up of "Pale - Vivian Meets The White Queen".

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Looking Faaabulous!

Only my zombie doll and I survived...

I love a lot of designers in SL, but Vita's Boudoir has been my favorite ever since I discovered them thanks to Fabulous Fashion with Angie Mornington. I was so happy that they were in the Black & Blue fair (everyone blogged that feather dress, but it's such a marvel I don't blame the onslaught) and them being at ZPC? Yep, geeked out. They're also premiering their new shoes! This gorgeous Bed of Roses dress comes with detachable floating roses as well.

Vita Boudoir's "Neon Marilyn" dress, hair Ingenue Myrna in Ash Blonde $1L @ Savoir Hair, skin Taylor Medium in Pillarbox. Pose Model Pack 2 by Glitterati, who's having a month-long sale- single pose packs are only $100L!

Critique on the heels: Boudoir Red Shoes: The backs have a matching bunch of roses similar to the dress, and it's done flawlessly. However, I think a lot of improvement can be done to the front of the heel. It's open-toed- and while nothing is wrong with that, it seems laid-back compared to the serious detail at the back of the shoe. Also, I'd imagine covering toes entirely would be easier for a new shoe designer, but obviously that's just guessing on my part. The Boudoir Beige shoes, however, are pretty much perfect. For some reason the open-toed front looks much better with a lighter shade, and the back detailing on these are just as lovely. For $250L it's a great buy for formal wear.

Already Ugly Duck has a new skin set for Kala out, this one being "unisex" (you will recieve one with female body characteristics and one with male, but the face is the same.) They are a very transluscent pale, with candy-colored makeup. I modeled new items from Project Themeory & The Dressing Room with it. :)

Dress: Veschi Cartunic $69L The Dressing Room Blue NOTE: My shape is a fairly small, slender girl, and this dress was TINY on me. It took a lot of modifying to get it to fit, it was a bit ridiculous- basically turned out to be the SL equivalent of "sewing her into the dress." Thankfully it's copy/mod.

Now obviously this unisex skin is marketed toward someone that is neutrally gendered or very femininely male. Fade Lei recommends wearing the male skin of a female shape (while altering a few body parts, obviously!) It makes me think of how Ziggy Stardust would have looked when he was 12...
