TEST 005: "Style That!" by Finesmith Designs

Week 4 of Finesmith Designs' Style That! competition was today, and spring is in the air!  This week's item captured the fresh spirit of springtime, colored in sunny yellows, verdant greens, and oceanic blues.  Today's winner was Aphrodite Brianna, so congrats to her!  Below is the fourth in my string of losing stylings, lmao.

The Bleeding Edge: "Twiggy" by Body Talking

Pose Fair 2011 opens this Friday, and Body Talking has some amazing offerings for both men and women:  "Mikey" and "Twiggy!"  For more info on "Mikey," check out my previous Bleeding Edge post here on the Shiny Angel Couture blog.  "Twiggy" is a collection of 20 poses...10 unique poses, each featuring a mirrored counterpart.  The poses are especially well suited to ladies carrying a clutch or purse (neither of which works for me), so I decided to go into cuteness overload for this shoot.  Rather than a purse, I walked around the house carrying an adorable Domo plushie that I got from SweetTooth via the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.  Also featured is some sweet hair from 3636 (my new fav hair) and a cute little outfit from Misera, both a part of the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser as well!

GLANCE: Day 4

STYLING SESSION!!!  OMG...I sweated my tush off for 2 days straight getting ready for this.  Yesterday morning I logged in and hated EVERYTHING in my inventory.  So...about 10K Lindens, 48 hours of consecutive play, and a dozen friends' opinions later, I was ready!  Wicca was as gracious as always, complimenting me on my choice of designers and accessories, while making patient suggestions for each outfit.  My casual outfit needed a little more accessorizing, which we did on the spot.  For my swimwear, I needed flip-flops, which I found at SEY (thanks for the help Brendan and Jonas!).  Wicca suggested that I use a hairbase and attachment for my headshot (with the Valeria set from Finesmith), rather than the Uw hair I had planned, so I finally settled on "Sun" from Purple Moon after extensive shopping.  Lastly, Wicca requested that I experiment with some avant garde hair for my formal photo, so I went with "Baum" from 3636.  Styling done...raw photos submitted...now I just sit back and wait for Wicca to tell me who my super secret photographer is!  CAN'T WAIT!  Here's a preview of my casual outfit:
