Baggy Sailor

2009-02-15T10:15:00.000-08:00

Im not really sure what calling this post "baggy sailor" is saying about my fashion ect but i figure it was a funny look.

More often that not everything in SL is skin tight so its nice when a new line comes out that has tackled this. Keeping this all about shape i opted out of many accessorise really only with the baggy socks and the head bow. Its spring so cue the nautical trend. Ill get sick of it one day promise :)

Sorry for now close up, but you know what my mug looks like i guess.

Muted Harlequin

2009-01-29T16:46:00.000-08:00

Its all in the tights i tells you!

I loved the Harlequin inspired fashion that was on the RL high streets this winter (particularly the sequined shorts in topshop <3)

This was me channeling the look today. I'm in love with tights and these from rosso make a welcome addition to my over stuffed inventory. This store is great, everything is very very cheap (about 5l for tights, 30l for clothes). I also gave in and got a fatpack of Leona skins. I know the feeds have been flooded with images and i apologize in a way. Normally i wouldn't jump on the skin bandwagon. But the face on these is really wonderful. I do with they had more adventurous make-ups, a Cat eye? maybe brighter lip colours too.

I dug out my old favorite shoes as well for this look. Id have these glued to my feet in RL if i could walk in a pair like these. Tesla if your listening THE WORLD NEEDS MORE COLOURS OF THESE.

What am i wearing?

Lifes such a Drag..

I personally have always been of the opinion, fashion isn't pretty. Fashion and beauty are in fact polar opposites. I like to play around a bit more than that.

These lashes from ZsaZsa'z last release needed something out there and fun. While you might have to turn you brightness down on your screen for this outfit. I think its fun.
Also while i did have a few paragraphs written, blogger just ate them so here are the credits.....

Lions Skins has launched a new line. I had the pleasure of preview some of there skins (and like an awful blogger am running late on my commentary.)

I didn't want this to be a pointing out all the points in a skin, people can find those out for theme selves buy demoing the product. I did how ever fall in love with this makeup! I love the contrast of the Aqua and Yellow, its also not symmetrical which makes for all the more interesting.

Lion Skins to me is a newish brand and im really excited by this last release. With over 40 diffrent makeups in each tone theres somthing for everyone from wild and excentric to classic and demure.

I went a bit mad i think on trying to match colours >.< href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/royalbluebymarnigrut/3177924340/" title="Close Up by marni.grut, on Flickr">

A little Hello

2008-12-23T19:14:00.000-08:00

This is a little hello!

Just a small one we don't want to scare it off now...

In case your magically not one of the people i linked to this site, my names Marni Grut. You might remember me from such blogs as style advisory, artist Tea Party and or my store in Second Life called royal blue. Or i can be caught possibly across the road from your bedroom with a flask of soup and binoculars.

Regardless this little space will be filled with my ramblings and pictures of yours truly, i cant promise ground breaking journalism or world class reporting. But i can promise typos and things in neon.

I hope to see you back sometime again.

<3 Marni

This is most defiantly not one of those serous blogs... Oh no.

Now drink up your tea, while i dust off.
