K-CODE ~ Rockn’ Style
Posted on: May 31, 2011
So today I am rocking out with K-Code! Here before you is a full outfit you can pick up and make yours. This is a lovely outfit with a great color scheme. I do hope I was able to wear it with enough skill and style as it was presented to me in the vendor picture; I tried though! I would have to say, one of my favorite parts are the stockings because they bring together whole look from top to bottom very well. Visually the eyes travel the length of your body smoothly.
Feeling chilly? How about a matching jacket! This is a great jacket full of high quality prim work from collar to sleeve. If you’re not very good with editing prims to fit then be careful. Or, this could be a great chance to practice. The jacket also works with an alpha layer, as do the boots so you’re going to need a viewer that will support wearing both or else the look won’t work correctly.
I opted out of jewelry for this post to focus attention on the outfit form K-Code though let your styling imaginations soar guys! A cute necklace and bracelets would go well with this. Earrings to but with the hair I’m wearing you cannot see my ears; the hair is from [Me.] btw and I love their styles. Especially the HUD they come with because you can change color and highlights so one hair is actually many hairs; no need to buy color packs!

Bit of Black and White
Posted on: May 31, 2011
So I had this look laying around for a while. I wore it for a shift at +DV8+ and I enjoyed it so much I took some shots of it. I kept the shots around for a future blog post on a day I might be too busy to take new pictures; welcome to that day! For the summer time +DV8+ so they released a line of bikinis. Many bikinis in many colors! You’ll have a lot of choices to pick through but they come in color packs so you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck. I went white this day because I usually wear bright colors at the store, I wanted something mellow this time.
But just because this bikini is black and white in no way is it truly mellow. This is pure sexy! Of course I had to give you a back shot of this suit, you can see it covers the rump well enough. It’s no string bikini. It’s revealing but doesn’t show too much so you should be safe across the grid. Added in a full body tattoo from Leti’s Tattoos & Piercings.
As per usual, this whole look can be grabbed at +DV8+ save for the tattoos and nails from Virtual Insanity. The stockings and arm warmers were a past release and come in a fat pack of colors. Shoes, hair and collar are also available, I’ve worn the collar before for a past post. It’s a rather nice one and a good accessory. You can’t just wear a bikini ladies, remember to accessorize.

Mohna Lisa Couture – Aphrodite
Posted on: May 29, 2011
So if you saw my other post of the fashion show video you might have seen this gown. It is Aphrodite, a brand new release from Mohna Lisa Couture. It debuted at the spring fashion show. I didn’t get a chance to wear it but other lovely ladies did. Now here is my chance to slip into this amazing gown! I’m wearing it in silver but it also comes in red, black, pink and beige so you have many options. The hardest part is choosing a color, I suggest picking them all up because this dress is amazing. I endorse this dress purely because I think it’s a work of art and feel lucky every time I wear it while modeling at Mohna Lisa Couture.
A lovely mixture of sensuality and high class, Aphrodite shows off a good bit of skin while not looking trashy at all. The cuts on this dress are place perfectly to scoop in the right places and stop before seeing too much. From the waist down it’s a long, flowing gown. The material is gentle and very airy when you move, it offers a highly natural feel to the dress. The patterns on this piece are also lovely and will leave you and others gazing at it for hours.
There is also a shawl with the dress, it’s a shimmery see-through material and the same material is used on the cuffs of the opera length gloves. From top to bottom, this is a lovely gown. Since it’s so long it may be hard to see but I am wearing shoes from Mary Jane Shoes; the best place to get shoes to accent the looks from Mohna Lisa Couture. And I had to go with high quality jewelry from Finesmith.

Curious Kitties – Space Cutie
Posted on: May 24, 2011
Time to marvel at more Curious Kitties! Today I’m showcase the outfit called Space Cutie, it’s a full outfit when you buy it so you receive everything you see. From boots to top, it’s a great package deal. This outfit is black and silver, sort of looking like the suit an astronaut would were; probably where the name came from. I will tell you, Curious Kitties is a HUGE store and when they aren’t having special events it’s fun to look around the place. So many pieces to mix and match a girl could go nuts!
It is nice that through all the mass of amazing looks, if you don’t have time to style or buy separate pieces you can get an amazing outfit that is all ready for you! The skirt is very cute with this, I enjoy the mesh and how the sleeves also have the same material, a very ripped apart look while still being girly and fun to wear.
As usual, this whole look is from Curious Kitties. My very shape can be found there. I’m wearing the Peach Blossom avatar and it comes with the shape, the skin as well as hair and eyes. I love the shapes you can pick up at the store since they fit the clothes very well. The wide anime type eyes are also adorable and when I want to have fun and enjoy myself this is a great look to have on.
Everything – Curious Kitties
Blue Blood – Ivana
Posted on: May 24, 2011
My love for cute, adorable clothing has me as a fan of Blue Blood. So I enjoy reviewing their products, especially since they give you unique styling choices. This dress is called Ivana and the color I’m wearing is teal. Like with other outfits form this store, Ivana has different ways you can wear it. As you can see, I choose a very sexy approach with this one, wearing the options without a shirt under it an open skirt.
What I like about Blue Blood outfit is the versatility they give you. This is a very cute look taken to a sexy level at a whim, you get all the options when you buy a color. You can go from playful to sensual very easily. Not to mention, no matter which way you were it always looks good. High quality work went into each piece of this outfit. The pattern is beautiful and the feel of the outfit is very real. The lace of the prim skirt looks divine and the detail goes all the way to the underwear and stockings as well. My hair is from Ploom, a great spot for alternative hair styles.
As I mentioned, this is a highly detailed outfit. Even the back has a wonderful pattern on it that goes well with the rest of the look so front or back you will look amazing to all who see you. As I always say, it’s fun to experiment with fashion. Can’t be couture everyday now can we? If you want to have a bit of fun stop by Blue Moon and shop around.

LC Deisgns – Satin Roses

First and foremost, this dress is pink. It’s why I wanted to review it. I love pink! Satin Roses is a lovely cocktail dress that speaks for itself but I will try to help it out, hehe. The name says it all, the pattern on this bunches together to form roses all along the dress, a beautiful look and yet simple and sleek at the same time. The material is satiny, smooth and delicious. The shape of the dress is lovely and form fitting, the top forming a beautiful shape around your bust. LC Designs has created a beautiful piece, a great dress for any lady!
Here you can see the back of dress has an almost corset look to it. The details of this dress are top notch making each inch of it a pleasure to look at. Front or back you will catch the eyes of people. The back of the dress also exposes your upper back, great if you want to wear a designer tattoo or a necklace that goes down the back. I paired the dress with shoes from Maitreya, the color went great with the dress and they’re probably the fanciest shoes I own so I think they went well with the top quality piece from LC Designs.
I kept my look as simple as possible to highlight the dress. It comes with the earrings and broach you see on me, I didn’t add any other jewelry to this look. Of course you can have fun with it and add a necklace, bracelets; have mix and match fun. Only adornment you see on me are my nails from Finesmith, they come with the rings as well so it’s great. My hair is from fri.day.

Sunday Blues

Love a sale? So do I! Being a model on SL is a lot of work, add in managing this blog with other things I do. So maybe I have a bit of the Sunday blues. The real world is being a bitch and Second Life isn’t much better. I enjoy being a model but it’s hard. Nothing like being told how to look, eh? This blog lets me be me and I love that. Just a small rant, I guess. I only blog things I like. If I see a product and ask someone if I can blog it, you will see it. If I see an item in a blogger group I like, you will see it. Sometimes people send me things to blog, I don’t always blog them but I try to; especially if I like it. The blog is called Sophi’s Choice so nine times out of ten, if you see me post something it’s because I like it for some reason. It’s hard on SL being a model having to change yourself for others; hair, eyes, shape. And then wear clothes you may not always like. This blog is my mini expression of what I like on SL, what I think is lovely fashion and just me being me!
That being said, I’m wearing Samantha from SLC which is on sale this weekend for only $60L. It’s blue, very casual and adorable. It comes with everything you see on me save for the hair. Shoes, pants, shirt, jewelry; you get it all for under a hundred linden! I’m still in the poor house, especially with most of my linden being put into modeling and schools so when I do shop it’s always on a budget. I do like that this look comes all prepared if you need something quick to wear and the pieces look great. And of course, you can style it with your own pieces if you need a change!
Since I wanted to keep the look very simple and use the pieces that came with it I kept the additions to a limit. I’m wearing beautiful earrings from Finesmith that I nabbed for 55L, yay for sales. They are also pink, my favorite color. My hair is from fri.day, I bought it when they were having a spring cleaning sale so pretty much my entire look was on a budget.

Like a Virgin
Posted on: May 22, 2011
To keep up this retro 80’s vibe I seem to be one I’m going review this outfit, Like a Virgin. It’s from Butterfly Effectz and I think it’s so cool. I saw this a while back and wanted to blog it but never had the chance. I just couldn’t think of the proper look and kept it on the back burner. But now that I’m in the right mood I think it’s the perfect time! If you’ve been living under a rock for the last century, it’s based on Madonna’s iconic look from her Like a Virgin video in the 80’s. I wore bracelets and nails from Virtual Insanity to add a bit of careless gaudy 80’s flare to the look.
VERO MODERO has released some amazing new pumps and I think they work very well with this outfit. I love the detail on these on the back near the heel. Looks like angel wings, right? Perfect for a virgin bride. haha I’m a good girl, I swear! When you touch me I feel so shiny and new. These shoes come in a variety of colors so don’t be afraid to shop around, the store is great so you’ll find tons of outfits to match these beauties.
Wearing a new skin release from MAR Creative Studio here, I love the red lips with this outfit. A trashy 80’s wedding dress with hooker red lips; classic! Also, you’ll probably never see me in a wedding dress on the blog unless someone asks me to review it; I don’t own any and I don’t believe in virtual weddings. Heck,if I do get e-married maybe I should just be a rebel and wear this look! Necklace I grabbed on sale from ~Pepper~, I thought the hearts and keys were a great touch.

Girls just wanna have fun! So it’s the weekend and after a lot of work I decided to shop a bit and I had fun! I went by Sweeter Than Candy and picked up this great outfit called Cyndi, it’s their sale item for Taste of SL; this week is all about the 80’s! Now I was a young girl during that era but I do remember some of it, loved the music and the styles are rocking. Plus, I liked the color and the quality of the design.
Like the shoes? Yeah, me too. They are from Maitreya and I am quite proud of them. These shoes cost over a grand and I treasure them because I’m pretty sure they’re one of the most expensive items I own. Not to mention they were a gift. I love the color, it matches the outfit perfectly. Not to mention the style and textures great, they have a lovely satin feel. If you have the extra linden and love shoes I suggest investing in a pair of shoes form Maitreya.
Take a look at my newest Belleza skin that I got for free for being apart of their update group. It is called Akiko and for the 250L joining fee it’s a nice group gift to get and more future ones! The hair I picked is from Raw House and I grabbed it on sale, yay me! I really like the straight black hair with this skin, has a sort of punkish Asian feel to it.
