It’s Not Mesh – Look #3

Today I’m showing you the gorgeous Elwing Gown from Purple Moon Creations.  It flows beautifully and the details are simply divine.  There are prim roses at the hip where the skirt opens to expose the leg and a scattering of roses up and down the dress.  I love the way it shimmers.

The bracelet and earrings are gifts from Chop Zuey… the bracelet is a group gift for members ($350L to join but well worth it) and the earrings are a free gift for everyone offered as part of Chop Zuey’s birthday celebration.  Special thanks to Chop Zuey’s creator, Belle Roussel, for being so generous with her customers and for making some of the most amazing jewelry in Second Life.

I adore this look and will wear it often.  And… it’s not mesh! 🙂

It’s Not Mesh – Look #2

Today’s look is sweet, casual, and not mesh.  I found it upstairs at BoHo HoBo.  If you’ve never visited BoHo HoBo, you need to go… especially if you love boho and/or hippy styles.  The place in itself is an explosion of color and everything there appeals to me. 

The jewelry I’m wearing is a free gift from Chop Zuey, offered in celebration of the 2nd birthday of this wonderful jewelry shop.  No membership required to pick up these free items, but you might want to join the group to receive the wonderful free gifts for group members that are on display nearby. 🙂

My shoes are the lovely Ilaida Mojri flats in saffron from Zaara.  I have these flats in several colors already and I’ll probably end up with them all… they are so wonderfully made and they look great with jeans or skirts.

My hair is Janice from Truth (I simply LOVE this style) and my skin is Isla from League.  My eyes are my current favorite…IKON’s Kaleido Eyes in Reef.

I think this is a wonderful casual look and best of all… it’s not mesh. 🙂

It’s Not Mesh Look #1

I have a love/hate relationship with mesh.  I love it because of the way it moves with my avatar, the ultra-realistic shape of clothing, shoes, and hair, and mesh hair simply rocks my socks off!

The only thing I don’t like about mesh is that not everyone in SL can view it.  Now, it’s easy to say “Well, everyone needs to upgrade to a mesh viewer”… but… not everyone’s computer can run a mesh viewer.  Now, I’m not an expert by any means on computer specs but when my friends say, “mesh viewers won’t run on my computer”… I believe them. 🙂

I like my friends and I want them to see me as I see me on my screen, so I choose not to wear mesh in their presence.  In fact, the only time I wear mesh when going out is when I’m alone and not expecting to run into any acquaintances.

That being said, I’ve decided to feature looks on my blog that are not mesh.  I know there must be readers out there who can’t see mesh and I want to do my part to show them fun, fashionable looks that they AND everyone else can actually see 🙂

So…. on with today’s look. 🙂

I’m wearing a to-die-for gown from AZUL called Calypso.  It comes in a gorgeous array of colors and I’m wearing it in “opal”.  It is simply the sexiest gown I own and I wear it often.  My hair is the gorgeous Briony from Truth and it is actually a newish release… thank you Truth Hawks for continuing to release new hair that we all can enjoy!

Shoes are Maitreya Gold Foxy and jewelry is from Virtual Impressions.

It’s not mesh……… and I like it. 🙂
