Hello again!
Can you believe the last M&M post was in FEBRUARY because, truly, I cannot. Sure, there are reasons for the extended break from SL, some of them might make their way here later, but dwelling on them isn't going to help anyone, right?
So let's talk about what and who has brought me BACK into blogging!
Can you believe the last M&M post was in FEBRUARY because, truly, I cannot. Sure, there are reasons for the extended break from SL, some of them might make their way here later, but dwelling on them isn't going to help anyone, right?
So let's talk about what and who has brought me BACK into blogging!
In a word: Belle!
Yep, that's right. Belle Roussel of Chop Zuey Couture Jewellery has been putting together some of the loveliest and most imaginative accessories for as long as I've been in Second Life. I might say that the MissSL Quan Am set (created to honour Miss SL Vietnam and current Chop Zuey Girl Rehana Seljan) is no exception to the rule but, really, I do find it exceptional. So exceptional, in fact, that I was inspired to buckle down and take some pictures for the first time in months!
This set is so wonderfully detailed that, really, I needed to keep the rest of the outfit as simple as possible. The gown, from Hucci, has been one of my favourites since I found it and the fact that shell pink is still very much a colour for Summer 2015? Bonus! Side note: it works really well with my Maitreya Lara mesh body. The hair, as well, was important to keep to a minimum - detracting from Belle's stunning headband in any way would be a crime! I didn't like the look of a tight bun at the back or one of the more fashion-forward styles we tend to see on SL runways so I went ahead and paired the Paper Couture hairbase with one of my CaTwA ponytails; Flora, in this case.
What else did I wear for this? Honestly, not much. There's a bit more colour around the eyes thanks to Musa's Liv eyeshadow. A bit of gloss from DeeTaleZ. Chrome-tipped polish from La Boheme. All wonderfully understated and perfect. <3
