Has it been a year?

Hello Lovelies :)


Indeed it has been a year since I last wrote anything on my blog.

I didn't intentionally wait a year between blog posts, but it seems that it is a year EXACTLY since I last blogged [spooky]

The urge to start blogging again has been building over the last few weeks so I thought I would try to write a post.


Skin Fair 2017 is just around the corner [March 10 -  March 26th] so it's a great time to come back to blogging.





I'm wearing the Amara Beauty ' Antonia' CATWA applier which will be available at Skin Fair 2017

The skin/applier is available in a staggering twelve skin tones, I am showing just the lightest three shades




Each skin tone includes six brow options [light brown, dark brown, black, red, blonde and no brow]

Ten lipstick sets are also available, each set has five colours included.

An omega body applier will also be available.

I'm wearing the applier on the CATWA 'Annie' head as I am yet to venture into Bento mesh head land.

So how did I do?


See you soon [hopefully]

The Wanderer Returns

Hello Ladies :)

It's almost five months since I last blogged or logged into SL but the wanderer has returned.

RL has hit me very hard over the last several months and with that SL and blogging had to take a back seat.

Hopefully things are slightly more settled and normal (ish) service can resume here at Brb-Gone-Shopping.


 

So as not to give myself a total nervous blogger breakdown I have just one picture and the details today.

I've forgotten SO much stuff, guess whose going to be on a steep flickr/blogger/photoshop relearning curve over the next couple of weeks?

I'm featuring a few budget friendly items today (I love a bargain)

Style Card:

• Head - Karin - Lelutka
• Applier - Noemi - Tone 02 - YS & YS
• Body - Lara - Maitreya
• Applier - Lara Applier 02 - YS & YS

I'm also wearing Garbaggio's 'Platform Pumps' which will be available in nine colours at On9.

Entrenched

Hi Lovelies :)

I remember trying to find a good looking long trench coat years ago in SL (pre mesh days) and failing miserably, so when I saw Milk Motions 'Fluid Trench Coat' I knew it had to be mine.

The coat is available at Collabor88 in twelve colours and also includes an inner shirt option which is colour change (eight textures) an additional HUD is also available to buy which includes a further twelve inner shirt colour options.

I chose not to wear the inner shirt as I wanted to wear The Secret Store's 'Laura Polo Shirt' and 'Audrey Pleated Pants' which are also from Collabor88 and available in eight colours.

I'm also wearing 'Della' which is the second of the Zoul Creation's skins available at The Skin Fair 2015. I'm wearing the lightest tone and the lavender lipstick in the darkest tone.

My shoes are Rebel Hope's 'Grand Slam Wedge Heels' which are available at FaMESHed in ten colours and include Belleza, SLink, TMP and Maitreya mesh body compatible versions.

Also Worn:

• Body/Hands/Nails - Lara - Maitreya
• Eyes - Spectral Eyes - Dune Ikon
