More Hat Hair from Truth!

 Two new gorgeous hat hairs from Truth in one week! I couldn't be happier. I have a real love for a good hat hair, both summer and winter. These two new styles, Dylan and Katya, give us lots of styling options for dressing up and down. Make sure to wear the alpha layer for Katya. It fits close to the head and without the alpha layer our ears stick out. As with all new Truth Hair, these styles come with a color change HUD for both hair and hats.

After I Log Off the Fun Begins

Strawberry Singh has given us two ideas for this week's meme/challenge. The first one captured my imagination enough to ponder it for awhile so I had to peek in at Dolly's offline life. The second requires me to grab one of my friends for a picture, so I might try that later this week.

Meme Suggested by Mr. Winter Jefferson: “What does your avatar get up to after you log out?”
Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in [Berry's] comments and if you decide to do any pictures with this challenge, please share them in the Blog Memes flickr group.

To be totally honest, Dolly manages to go her own way at times even when I'm logged on, so I wasn't particularly surprised to catch her primping for her next day's photo shoots and role play. She is vain and at times overly dramatic so I expect some sulking over this picture. I caught her rocking out to Billy Joel's "You May Be Right," and singing into her hairbrush!

Sweater Weather at FaMeshed

It's October and several creators have great sweaters for our Autumn moods. I'm featuring two new-to-me stores today that are in the October round of FaMeshed. The great color change short sleeve sweater in the top picture is from Mutresse, a store to definitely watch for every new release. In the second picture is a beautifully textured cowl neck sweater from Coquet, so soft and comfortably casual looking that I couldn't resist!

Lacy Gloves for Our SLink Hands

I wasn't sure why I was updating my SLink hands at first. The biggest advantage I could see was that I was able to remove stuff from my inventory because in the update one pair of hands worked for both skin appliers and tint matching. Then I saw these lace glove appliers from Adam n Eve. A light bulb went off. The new hands have a tattoo layer!

There are three painless steps to slipping these gloves over your hands:

• First, in your SLink hands folder find the HUD titled "SLink AvEnhance Utilities - Hands." You can change the length of your nails, or even turn them off, which isn't important with lace gloves since they're see through. Under that you can turn on the tattoo layer. Your hands will turn white, but don't panic. 
• Second, open your AE Lace Gloves folder and find the HUD titled "AE - SLink Applier HUD (Gloves Lace)" and choose your color. If you turned off the fingernails on the SLink Utilities HUD then you're done, but I recommend saving that for gloves that are supposed to cover the skin. So there is one more step.
• Third, and last, find the AE HUD titled "AE - SLink Fingernail Applier HUD (Gloves Lace)" and choose your color. 

Voila! Pretty lacy gloves on pretty SLink hands.  A happy fashionista just got happier.

Autumn Delights - A Strawberry Singh Challenge

Berry's blog meme for the week is about Autumn, my favorite season in Second Life and in my real life. You thought that was Clay making me swoon in the picture? Well - maybe, but at least a little of the swooning is because it's time for Fall.

Meme Instructions: Take an autumn inspired picture and/or answer the following questions about autumn. Don’t forget to leave your answers in the comments of Berry's post and if you take an autumn picture, please add it to the Blog Memes flickr group.

1. Is autumn your favorite season? Why or why not? – Yes and the reasons would be the colors of the season, the weather, cozy sweaters, and the sense of it being a season of plenty. My mother grew up on a farm and it was harvest season. Crops sold so there was money. Fruits and vegetables were canned and put up for the winter. Apple pies, cobblers, fritters and any other delicious item you can think of made with apples were plentiful. Even though I didn't grow up on the family farm, we still celebrated as if we had to grow our food ourselves.
2. Do you call it Autumn or Fall? – Both. In the fashion seasons it's the Fall collection, not the Autumn collection! I take drives to the country to look at Fall foliage - the alliteration makes it a must. Ayla tells me it's only Americans who call it Fall, so I kind of self-consciously call it Autumn at times when I'd rather say Fall, but honestly, for the most part I can switch between the two in the same thought.
3. What kind of weather does your area get during this season? – It's early for what I really consider to be Autumn. September is basically still summer. It cools off a bit from August, but the temperatures still usually reach the low 80's (Fahrenheit) during the day. Some trees turn a bit, but it builds slowly to the last two weeks in October when the colors of Autumn are glorious and the sweater weather begins.
4. Which color do you always associate with autumn? – Colors plural! Rusty reds, pumpkin oranges, trees so brilliantly yellow that they make the crisp blue of the sky even brighter in contrast.
5. Which Autumn themed sim is your favorite at the moment? – My own, but I'm not really bragging. I just haven't been out and about to check out Fall themed sims yet.

Ready for Fall? So Is coldLogic

The new Fall releases at coldLogic have everything from slacks, leggings, sweaters, dresses and skirt and top ensembles. There's something for everyone. I decided to split my focus between a slouchy comfy sweater and pants look, and the sexy librarian look below (that's for Clay who loves a good redheaded librarian look, especially when she shushes him).

Fall Colors

My favorite colors tend to be the earth tones of Autumn, so I was thrilled by the new four season set of trees from Studio Skye. Directly after that purchase, Autumn came to my sim! I'm also loving the earth color selection of 22769 Casual Couture's new release for The Liaison Collaborative Boutique. The pants are versatile and can certainly be dressed down with a sweater or casual shirt. The halter top keeps it dressy and living up to the 5th Avenue theme of this round of the Boutique.
