Is it Spring yet?

I don't know if I'm the only one, but my RL influences how I dress in SL a lot. I dress more warmly during winter, and lightly during summer in general. But when I woke up this morning and I opened the curtains on (another) snowstorm, I lost it.

I needed to wear something that would remind me of spring, and luckily, you can find this adorable lavender Neo-Romantic blouse from Fishy Strawberry at The Dressing Room for a ridiculous price. I paired it with G-Field's Flower Pumps "Eve" in Violet Mist for a perfect color match... and felt instantly better!

And to make me feel even more better, Belleza released this spring-ish purple skin just two days ago for group members. If you register now, you can get it in store (gift box for members, at the entrance) along with 3 other skins.

Belleza group have a registration fee of L$250 but believe me, it's worth every penny. I'm entirely against registration fees in general, but Belleza offers at least 1 skin (in every shade) per month, every month, usually from their upcoming collection. So you get to see the new releases before everyone else, and their skins are of the nicest ones in SL (mostly male ones!). Assuming the average price for such nice skin in SL is $L1000, you get $L12,000+ worth of stuff in a single year.

That's what I call a good deal. Visit Belleza in world for more information or to register (you can also easily find Belleza group in Search).

*My* Cotton Poppy skirt.

I came across My Cotton Poppy dress from The Secret Store (sold exclusively at The Cellar) a few days ago and fell in love with the lovely pattern. After purchasing the dress, I tried in and... aïe, que dolor! the skirt ended being a total disaster on my shape - I'm slightly curvy but the skirt was made extremely straight. My butt and hips were sticking out everywhere, and when I tried to simply make the skirt bigger, I ended up looking like a box.

Ok perhaps I'm slightly exaggerating here... ;)

So tonight I came up with a skirt of my own. I paired the original Poppy skirt with the Geisha Leather Belt from Fishy Strawberry and modded the shizz out of that skirt for what seemed forever.

Final result : tadaaaa! Shorter, curvier and totally adorable just like the original was already. Only, it fits me a hundred times better.

It was worth the hard work.
