One Belle Avenue, Second Life

It's been a long while since I have actually done a fashion post. I've been buying so many things and they just sit in my inventory, untouched. Well, I was doing some inventory cleaning yesterday and while trying on things to see if it stayed or went to the trash bin, I got inspired again! And as you can tell, I'm only on the A's. I've got a long road ahead of me!

With each skin that Apple May Designs puts out, I am liking them more and more! Ever since I changed my shape, all my skins are new again - all looking SO different and some of my favorites no longer work. But the AMD skins look so cute and I love the lips. *kisses myself* LOL!

I've been pretty busy the past few weeks and I really needed to take a break from all that and play catch up.

First on that catch up list is the new skin line from Apple May Designs - Gaia. I was a little hesitant with this skin when I saw the ad. It was different from what I've worn in the past. But then I put it on. I prefer a natural look so I really enjoyed the Gaia Base Skin line. This is a good skin to layer up with different makeup tattoos to create your own look.



My favorite tones are Gothly and Peachy. When I tried on Gothly, I'll be honest, I was expecting a completely white skin. I was glad it wasn't...it really is a nice pale.

You can also get the Seduce Make Up packs as well.  I photographed this in the Pale tone of the skin. Like I said above, I prefer the more natural look.

So today the day...the beginning of the Plurky Blogger Challenge.  This week's challenge is Oldies But Goodies where we are to only blog items that are at least a year old, if not older. I got all nostalgic and started going through my "Old School" folders as well as my old pictures.  I noticed a pattern of the designers I wore - Apple May Designs, Mischief (MIS) and Nyte 'N' Day.  Those were my favorites and I think I had everything from them back then. I picked an outfit from each to share with you. I'm wearing the first skin I bought from Belleza and Sirena hair (I used to buy that hair like crazy!) The one thing I don't like about the Sirena hair was I could not figure out how to turn off the stupid facelight feature!  So I apologize that my breasts are so shiny and bright :-P
