Birthday Girl

Earlier this week was my rezz date. That means I've been in SL for two whole years! So, in honour of my second SL birthday I indulged myself with new hair (yay!) and I hit some bars to have a drink or two.I can't believe how fast those years have gone by, it seems like only yesterday I was taking my very first photos.

I was pretty in a noob way, wasn't I? :P

There are a few things I wish somebody had told me so I wouldn't have to find out myself, so for those of you who haven't found out yet here's the Claudia's Guide To Look Awesome In Second Life! :P. Here it goes:

1 - Invest in a good shape. I spent way too much time in SL being way too tall and having the skinniest legs ever and I thought it looked fine! Thank god I finally gave up and bought a much better shape. My favourite ones are the Juicy Shapes, wich are created by the fellow blogger JuicyBomb. All the right curves in all the right places!

2 - Skip Freebie Markets. Yes, most of the things they have on these places are free, but most of the time the quality is so bad that the items aren't worth the lag. Instead check shops like Coco wich offer high quality group gifts. An extra tip: blogs like FabFree or Free*Style review free clothing and descounted items. My virtual wardrobe wouldn't be the same without them!

3 - Clean your inventory. It may not seem crucial if you've got only a few items, but if you're like me and try to be under 9,000 it becomes very important. Delete files that you won't use such as old clothing or notecards and use folders to separate your stuff.

4 - Shop in the marketplace. It's so much easier since you can use the search button to find what you want and you'll find new great stores. Plus, you won't have to fight the lag

5 - Windlight settings! Your browser and your snapshots won't ever look the same. If you're still hesitant, look up for a few tutorials and thank me later ;)

And that's it! If you've got more tips, let me know in the comments. Much love to you all!

Hello everybody! Just a quick post to show you my latest purchase, this gorgeous dress from Ohmarie. The store looks very promising, even if the only thing you can buy is this dress but it's a place to keep an eye on, I can't wait for more releases! I love the blue shade on this, it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Have a great tuesday everyone!


Hola a todos! Hoy toca un post cortito para enseñaros mi compra más reciente, este precioso vestido de Ohmarie.

Me encanta el tono azul del vestido, me recuerda a Alicia en el País de las Maravillas. Buen martes a todos!

It seems like every blog is joining the 12 Days of Lingerie Blog Challenge! I wasn't too convinced to do it at first because, even if I own way too much sexy lingerie inworld, that wasn't the way I wanted to introduce myself to my blog readers. Of course I ended up giving in and trying to put together a sweet look, and I really like what came out. It was very different from creating the outfits I normally would wear, but I enjoyed it so much! Expect more like these soon ;)

Parece que todos los blogs están participando en el Reto de los 12 Días de Lenceria! Yo no estaba muy convencida al principio porque, incuso si tengo cientos de conjuntos sexys de lenceria en Second Life, esa no era la forma en la que quería presentarme a mis lectores del blog. Por supuesto acabé cediendo e intentando crear un look dulce, y verdaderamente me encanta el resultado. Ha sido muy diferente a crear los oufits que normalmente llevo, pero lo he disfrutado un montón! Esperad más de estos pronto ;)

I'm wearing:

paper.doll Sequin Head Wrap (25L$, at paper.doll winter sale)

Witchcraft

  This dress from Gato is my new favourite piece, it has the perfect shape and quirky print and, the best of all, it's the perfect item to add and edgy touch to your regular outfits and throw a little bit of angsty-creepy-kid on them. Of course, you can always soften the result, taking off the cross necklace and the black lipstick, but it wouldn't be as fun ;)
   What do you think of the result? I'm afraid to say that I'm loving it, be prepared for more creepy kid touches here and there!


   Este vestido de Gato es mi nueva pieza favorita, tiene la forma perfecta y un estampado peculiar y, lo mejor de todo es que es el vestido perfecto para añadir un poco de vida a tus conjuntos normales y ponerles un poco de chico-solitario-angustiado en ellos. Por supuesto, siempre puedes suavizar el resultado quitando el collar con la cruz y el pintalabios negro, pero claro, no sería tan divertido ;)
  ¿Qué opináis del resultado? Me da miedo decir que decir que me encanta, ¡estad preparados para más toques espeluznantes aquí y allá!

I'm wearing:

Cross necklace (black) - Tres Blah
Black gloss - Cupcakes
Teased up (Butterfinger) - Lamb
Candy stockings (grey) - Sn@tch
Basic flats - Grumble
Satanic dress - Gato

Happy Hippie

   How cute are my new fringe booties? For me, they're the best shoes Grumble has made for a while, without a doubt. The moment I saw them a my feet, I knew I had to wear a hippie-inspired outfit with them!
   I really like this dress from Aoharu but everytime I put it on, I spend about fifteen minutes trying to make their prims fit me even though I'm a regular size avatar. Don't you just hate that? Has it happened to you with this brand?
   I shoot these dreamy photos in C'est la vie Mainstore, the colours and the field there is simply unbelievable. And how about the elephant with face paint? My favourite!

   ¿Os gustan mis nuevas botas de flecos? Para mi, son los mejores zapatos que Grumble ha hecho en una temporada, sin duda. En el momento que los vi en mis pies supe que tenía que vestirme con un conjunto hippie!

   Me gusta mucho este vestido de Aoharu, pero cada vez que me lo pongo me paso unos cinco minutos intentando ponerme los prims adecuadamente, y eso que soy un avatar de talla media. ¿No odiais que os pase eso? ¿Os ha pasado con esta marca?

  Hice estas fotos tan soñadoras en la Mainstore de C'est la vie, los colores y el campo de allí son simplemente increibles. ¿Y qué me decís del elefante con pintura en la cara? ¡Mi favorito!

The nerd and the owl

  
   A couple of days ago I was checking out the new-to-me C'est Moi Mainstore and I was lucky enough to meet the designer, Marcantonio Beaumont. Honestly, how many times that happens? I remember the time I saw Lamb Bellic (the creator of Lamb) at her shop and I think I almost fainted and by the time I tried to talk to her, she was gone (okay, enough second life fangirl moments). Marcantonio was nice enough to talk to me and I discovered he was a very nice, down-to-earth person and very down-to-earth, so yay for friendly second life designers!

   Normally I think I would have paired this t-shirt with some jeans, but I wanted to create a more special look so I picked some nerd glasses I found at the marketplace and this gorgeous skirt. Of course, I couldn't shoot these photos in other place than in a library, what do you think about the result?


   Hace unos días estaba visitando la mainstore de C'est Moi, a la que nunca había ido y tuve la suerte de encontrarme con el diseñador, Marcantonio Beaumont. Cuántas veces tienes la oportunidad de algo semejante? Recuerdo la vez que vi a Lamb Bellic (la creadora de Lamb) en su tienda y creo que casi me desmayo y para cuando quise hablar con ella, se había ido (vale, ya son bastantes momentos de fan descontrolada). Marcantonio fue lo bastante simpático para hablarme y descubrí que era una persona muy agradable y con los pies en la tierra, asi que hurra por los diseñadores encantadores de second life!

   Normalmente creo que hubiese combinado esta camiseta con unos vaqueros, pero me apetecía crear un look un poco más especial, así que me puse estas gafas de empollón que encontré en el marketplace y esta preciosidad de falda. Por supuesto, no podía sacar estas fotos en otro lugar que no fuese una biblioteca. ¿Qué opinais del resultado?


I'm wearing:
Owl T-shirt - C'est Moi
Scattered Birds Skirt - Mon Tissu
Lace Pantyhose - Attitudes
Cupcake Open Gift Shoes - Tomoto (1L$)

Sometimes

Sometimes, when you're having a bad day what it actually makes you feel better is dragging your best friend to you favourite place and just try to relax for a few minutes. Tomorrow will be a brand new day.

A veces, cuando tienes un mal día lo que realmente te hace sentirte mejor es arrastrar a tu mejor amig@ a tu rincón favorito y simple intentar relajarte unos minutos. Mañana sera otro día.
