Ace…and More!

Posted By on December 6, 2011 in All | 0 comments

Today’s post features new hair modeled for A&A hair called “Ace”. It is a unisex hair, technically able to be worn on both men and women, but I really LOVE short sexy hair on a sweet little face….SO sexy!  In addition to this edgy little hairstyle, I have to take a few moments to share with you some other great finds featured in these photos.

First off, the skin you see featured here is from Akeruka.  It is from their “Meg” line and I LOVE it.  The lips are absolutely perfect…not too big, not too little…just right.  I think Akeruka is going to be one of my FAVORITE skin stores.  They currently do not have a super large selection of skins, but they do have quite a few of both men’s and women’s skins and both are of the same quality as “Meg”.  Stop by their store and take a look, I think you will be surprised.

This adorable little argyle topped dress is from Somnia.  Somnia features clothes with a young, edgy feel and I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it.  It comes in a fatpack of 4 dresses and you can purchase another fatpack of colors in the same style if you cannot find the color you are looking for in the first one.

Shoes…I LOVE shoes.  And recently I have been hearing about a LOT about a new store called Kalnins.  The shoes I had seen by them were top quality and OH so cute, so imagine my delight when I found these at “The Dressing Room“!  I brought them home, tried them on and immediately began to search for something blue to go with them!  Are they not just the cutest things?? Of course, a look can be literally tied together by the jewelry, so as I began to look through my inventory I was quite pleased to find this set by Addiction. It is a simple leather rope with an intricately decorated silver circle and matching earrings.

I have loved PurpleMoon clothing and hair for quite some time and have noticed that they are really starting to branch out into accessories. They have had a few all along, such as these lovely blue nails with rings included, but it seems that recently they are really starting to make more jewelry, glasses, scarfs, hats….etc. Anc they will NOT displease you! Each piece features the quality that we have grown accustomed to from PurpleMoon.

“Eyes are the windows to the soul.” and none are done better on the grid than Fashism. They are almost the only eyes I wear anymore, as all the others seem to fall short of the look I am used to with Fashism. I thought it was interesting….in a recent plurk from one of the people I follow, I saw that she was asking WHO these eyes were from and posted a pic to go along with them…and almost immediately, everyone began to say “Fashism”! It was not long before the creator, Ikon Ikovia plurked as well and confirmed that they were indeed Fashism eyes. What a testimony to his work, that people know those eyes anywhere!

I topped off these lovely blue eyes with some lashes from Redgrave and poses from Purple poses. Audrey Gunter, creator of Purple poses, seems to come out with a new set of poses almost every week! And she has some adorable pose props out for Christmas, so if you have not made your Christmas Cards yet, be sure and stop by Purple poses, pick up a couple of props and poses and start shooting those pics!!!

Again…thanks to everyone that has taken the time to read this. I hope you like the pics. And I was right…I feel free to blog again! It is fun! (And by the way…the backgrounds used in these pics were generously offered as freebies from Amisha Marsh of Insight Designs.  She also has a store inworld with some AMAZING textures, so if you are looking for textures be sure and stop by Insight Designs!)  SO….I am off to shoot more pics!!! Until next time…
