born to run

Something all of no one (except Emi, hello!) knows about me is that I love vintage stuff. I like vintage, classic, and old, all the way from the Tudor period to the occasionally questionable fashion of the 80s. It’s no surprise to me that I just loved this outfit as soon as I put it on.

Vintage by .:Ducknipple:. Mesh is a fairly simple sweater and pants outfit. I love the bellbottoms, I’ve been waiting for a great pair of them! The texture on the baggy sweater is great. It comes with a hud featuring multiple colours, dark and light, and for once, I’m not wearing black. If you like vintage, or just cute-casual, be sure to grab this adorable outfit!

I don’t think I want to change out of this outfit for quite a while, haha.

Another blog post? I think I have a bit of a problem. I just start taking pictures and suddenly I’ve written half of a blog post mentally. This is Emi’s fault!

After a day of hanging out in my cute casual outfit, I thought it would be nice to show off something I could wear out. The star of this look is my .:Ducknipple:. Mesh Zipper Dress. This two tone dress comes with a colour hud, and the red area can be changed to a variety of different colours to compliment the black. It’s textured beautifully, and I like the off-shoulder sleeves quite a lot. An interesting feature of this dress, the zippers on the sleeves, are three dimensional and really give it some pop. The little details make this a dress I’d pull out of my closet often.

The shoes I’ve chosen for this look are the Zaar boots by .:Ducknipple:. Mesh. Mesh thigh boots that look and fit nice are super hard to come by, so these boots are a godsend. I absolutely love the lacing details and the zippers up the inside! They also come with a hud to change the colour, with a variety of darker and lighter colours.

Maybe I can actually step away from blogging for a minute now? I’m not sure! Sorry for spamming everyone!

until we can meet

Now for my planned blog post for today. I cheated a little, because I had these items on Ai, but really wanted to use Tatsurou, so I copied his shape over to my main account. It’s not really Tatsurou, but I’m going to pretend for the day.

Today, I’ve got Tatsurou in this beautiful .:Ducknipple:. Mesh Buttoned jacket. I love this style on guys, so I was super excited to be able to put my favourite male avatar in it. This jacket comes with a hud to allow you to change to multiple colours, but as usual, I end up in monochrome. Available in five sizes, the mesh is cut wonderfully for larger or smaller male avatars. I have a hard time fitting my admittedly very slim male avatars into some mesh, but had no problems with this. The texture is clean and sharp. The undershirt and buttons are such nice touches! I wish I had this on Tatsurou’s actual account, because I would never take him out of it!

The jeans are 20.FIVE Male jeans, non-mesh and perfect to go with your mesh tops to minimize clashing. They actually look like they could be mesh, despite being clothing layers and prim cuffs, so I imagine my male avatars will be wearing these quite a lot!

Well, I couldn’t make Tatsurou 2.0 look just like the original, but I think he looks okay! Now I can use him if I desperately need to model some items on Ai’s account.

I am super excited today! As you might notice, I suddenly have a new page at the top — Sponsors! Check out those links to see some wonderful clothes at great prices!

My outfit today is the result of my over excitement, and I am not at all ashamed. I don’t normally do this, but I even had to go out and buy things to go with the outfit. I’m usually quite shy about spending my lindens.

My outfit is the Shredded Dress from .:Ducknipple:. Mesh. This dress includes a multi-coloured hud, but as my inventory is full of the monochrome, I had to go with classic black. I love dresses with cut outs in the shoulders, and this dress takes that love a step further with circles decreasing in size all down the arms. There are cut outs on the left hip/thigh area, and down the back as well. I really love the effect the cut outs create in the mesh; everything looks so realistic and three dimensional, which I am so crazy about in mesh. The texture is beautifully done, and it’s cut so nicely.. I can’t say enough about this dress, ugh, I love it too much. I expect this to be a staple in my wardrobe from now on!

If possible, I’m even more excited about the Socks with Shoes, also from .:Ducknipple:. Mesh. As soon as these came out, I wanted them! They are not only perfectly my style, but they have some of the features I’ve been missing in mesh socks here in SL. My favourite part is that they’re slightly uneven; that and the way they fall make them so realistic. They have a hud with different colours and patterns, so they match any outfit. (I’m wearing the patterned pair, but there’s also a plain set, too.) The shoes, by the way, are optional. Included in the pack is a set without shoes or feet, so you can use your favourite shoes with them.

I had to go out and buy this Exile hairstyle after Emi was talking about it, and wow. I really love it! I wish they had an additional indecisive pack with different colour options, but since they don’t, I went with dark blondes.

I have more things to blog in the coming days (hours?), so keep a look out for my spam!
