Newbie Style Challenge II

I was stalking a few blogs earlier today and I came across a challenge that one of my favourite bloggers, Bouncer Criss had blogged about. I followed the link and thought, hey I'd like to give that a go! The rules are pretty simple, spend less than L$550, use only items currently available and don't use anything from your library. There is no doubt that it's pretty damn hard for us fella's to put together a complete avatar for next to nix, but armed with half a fistful of dollars, off I went - you can check out Gogo's challenge here.

Steam's noob busting style:
Hair - Damselfly, Justice, black pearl, store gift
Eyes - Sterling Artistry: November Shadow, store gift
Skin - Belleza: Jacob, deep tan, group gift - L$250 to join
Shape - [Identity]: Sander, group gift - L$100 to join
Tattoo - Huz Tatts: Kanji, KMadd gift

Jacket/shirt - Klam: Jordan leather jacket, L$99
Pants - !Funk, Leather pants, group gift
Shoes - [JP]:dsg, Sneakers, group gift

All up, my total spend was L$450.

Until next time...

Working Hard!

I was really wanting to style a look for this blog post that drew upon my own trade contractor roots and although I always knew what I wanted I ranged high and low through SL and took my time to put it together. The longer I blog the wider I roam as I find more and more fantastic designers and their wares; this post highlights a number of stores I've not previously been too and I am really pleased with the quality of their designs and textures.

Of particular note are:

HoD Lustful piercing - okay so it took me a little while to get the colour right but the end result is fantastic

Dragon Tattoo - I love it, great attention to detail and no evidence of stretching

Harvey biker boots - I really wanted a worn used work boot look and I really struggled.. that is until I found these
Justina unisex overall - this is the glue that held this look together, it took me a while to find these but I'm sure not disappointed with the end look.
