FINALLY! You get to see a new face inside this blog! And a pretty face it is; it belongs to my dear, dear friend and splendid blogger, Mikaela Carpaccio! She is such a sweetheart and such a good friend; I was more than thrilled when we got the chance to take these pictures together. Although I'm super excited about showing you these pictures, I am even more excited about the fact that this joint post is only the first of a few we have planned! Make sure to read here to learn what she's wearing (and, generally, read her blog, because I said so! And because her pictures are gorgeous and she's got impeccable style).

 

Bilo's a great store. It may sound odd that I've the same store as Mikaela does, but I too discovered Bilo a while ago (perhaps months ago) but never had the chance to really explore the brand. Chandra Masala, of Bilo, creates colorful, ethnic apparel of mesh (or mostly mesh). So you've seen the two tops we're wearing from Bilo, but what about this dress (first picture on second row) for a mere 50L? MUST. HAVE. DRESS.

 

Enjoy!

Oh man. Thank holy hell for Collabor88's birthday! There's a ton (more than usual) of items that you'll probably have to have. Once I could finally get into it, I bought nearly everything. Shame on me! Be sure to check the SeraphimSL gallery for pictures of items.

I saw this hair on my friend, Melusina Parkin (of Melu Deco) and had to know from whence it came. She revealed that it was created by the shop, Sadistic Hacker. It's an odd name, yet I found this hair there. So don't be too discouraged! :P There are three versions of Nagi available for purchase - one is with long bangs (which I'm wearing), one with short bangs and yet another with a portion of clipped back hair. I'd say that if you are into anime, then you'd probably appreciate this shop.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You've seen my previous posts, yeah? You must know, then, how absolutely IN LOVE I am with this skin.

I stood in front of the vendor art for this skin, debating dropping 1K for it. I said, "No" then "Yes" at least five times each, but in the end, the skin overtook me, I tell you! 

It comes with two versions of 15 lipsticks, with teeth and without teeth.  These 15 lipsticks are, in turn, divided into five folders. Of course, the whole set is boxed inside of the skin's folder. It's a whole lotta unpacking, but do you SEE the skin? It's well worth the dragging-and-dropping.

I absolutely didn't mean for Inferna's eyes to be closed in one of these shots, but I actually like the way it turned out. Do you?

I bought three other skins with which I am also infatuated. And I've asked two designers - League and The Skinnery - if they'd be so kind as to create the Jen and Sabal skins, respectively, in darker tones. I'd love to have them, but they are a bit light for my tastes.

Also, I'm not sure about Plausible Body. I got these shoes (for really cheap) when I first joined SL, so I'm not even sure if they are still around. I'll check now, actually, to sate my own curiosity. 

A demain!
