Her name was LOLA

L.Fauna gave us all a teeeeny little teaser a week ago on the new face.  As mentioned in my last post, its exciting to see a long time fangirled skin creator making updates to their skin line. LOLA is exactly that!

This new face has a few pleasantly surprising and lovable updates. They are so minor and look stunning on so many faces.  When I was seeing the skin during production I kept oohing and ahhing. Kinda embarrassing now.

LOLA’s first edition of makeups are due out very very soon. The first pack is 5 makeups. In this post, I’ll show only 2. Surely in upcoming posts you’ll see more but for now just the two.

Read on for the additional photo and credits.

What a dream

I really should stop saying I’m not a gown person. I guess I am. I enjoy the drama of a long flowing skirt. Miamai, for me, was “introduced” to me during the Pose Fair a few months ago. When I saw there is a clothing line as well as awesome poses, it caught my attention.

Caroline’s Jewelry has been and will continue to be a wonderful brand name. The store is full of many new items and some of my old favorites. Caroline’s jewelry is always beautiful. This set will be released during the week long event called Etheria and it starts tomorrow.

The best location to show off both these items is the MacBeth sim. I shot another gown post here just a few months back. The sim is intriguing and allows items to be rezed. Perfect for photographers who use pose stands. Or you can pick up Tillie’s Pose Stand to take photos anywhere! I’ve been using this pose system for 2 years or so now.

New LeLutka: Medellin

Something simple and easy for today’s post. I haven’t done a mashup in sometime so what better way to help show off the new LeLutka skirt.

Unreleased: LeLutka Popayán

When I was given this unreleased item from LeLutka, I instantly changed to see it. I changed, right in middle of my nearly vacant lot. All I have, so far, is my “Great Wall of Edo” and that’s it. So the silly Confucius quote went well for this post. I can’t resist a mini jacket especially in military type of style.

There are a few more items at LeLutka I’ve been eying and others in my inventory still needing to be blogged. Perhaps another day but first, I need to rez a house so I don’t scare the neighbors anymore.

*Review* [LeLutka] Lingerie

Ever wander the full sim of [LeLutka]? Did you know out one of the back entrances, there is a small lingerie shop?! I was so happy to see this addition to the [LeLutka] collection.  With only a few peices, and I’m hoping for more, each of the sets are very very well done and are available in a wide variety of colors.  Here are just a few of the sets I picked.

Lets talk about you will typically find upon purchase.  In the sets I have, each are done in the undershirt/underpants layers as well as the shirt/pants layers.  There are a few like “Lily” that offer the jacket layer. “Amber” has a unique eliment.  Its the garter on the jacket layer and offers the panties on both bottom layers as well as the undies & garter combo on both layers.  Really well thoughtout.

I’m one happy chick to have been able to finally have new and exciting lingerie (I think Express is too … he wouldn’t stop asking to see them!).
