Isle Style: Why everyone needs a Spork in their life.

This is my first post for my own blog since I went on hiatus from ShoppingCartDisco.  I enjoyed blogging there, but keeping on a schedule with the bandwidth constraints I find myself under was a nasty frustrating challenge that I had to choose to let go until things improved. 

A spork is a wonderful thing.    It is versatile…a tool for many uses, a wonderful invention that serves a variety of purposes.  Spork Designs is such a store. 

When GM Nikolaidis of Spork sent out a new group gift,  I was inspired to blog it.  I love the colours of the group gift release more than the actual store releases, so it wasn’t difficult to put the look together.  To start the look, I went on a hat hair hunt, aided by Vivianne Draper of the Llama’s Den.  Viv is the awesome shopper, she KNOWS things!)

 

Vivi took me to Exile.  I had never been there… I don’t know how I had missed it, but I lost no time buying up styles.  This hair has a nice amount of flex, on a sculpted base.  The hat is totally color-change.. more like texture change, for each choice is a new and terrific texture, patterned in various coordinating colors for any outfit.  Love the hat hair.  

The sun glasses are primOptic, and customizable as well, from glass color, tint and texture, to frame color and shine.  Gadget scripts as well.. flying and proximity radar, but since I use Emerald Viewer, these are not used.

To coordinate with this outfit, (and since I cannot ever be free of ink), I am using Huz tattoos which come on all layers, and look quite fine if I do say so myself.  Nice work.

The messenger bag was an accidental find at Ennui, while I was looking for sandals.  It comes loaded with 3 ‘bag’ poses, which even work while walking, or on a posestand for a shoot. Nice. Great textures too, love this bag.

 

The tube top and belted skirt are the Spork group gift, yes, that means free.  Go get yours, join the SoM if your groups are full, this is definitely worth it.  Getting updates on new releases is also a great perk. I love the simplicity of the top, and the wrinkled texture.  The skirt is a flexi skirt on glitch pants/shorts that look darned near good enough to wear without the skirt, and btw, the skirt is mod. (yeay) Very nice work.   If you haven’t been yet, you should visit the main store.  It is a good clean build, and nice to browse through, with great styles and accessories.  It even rezzed moderately well for me, which is saying a LOT.

The bangles are Zaara, Nizam bangles in orange.  I wanted to pull a bit of color out of the skirt, and these did just the trick.  In my viewer, the glasses frame I had picked was also more orange, but on Raven’s graphics it mellowed to a rich brown and didn’t look so bad, so I didn’t reshoot. (Plus I think about this time, Raven might have kick banned me from the studio after all my fussing)

The skin I am wearing is from my current favorite line, *League* Kate, in Darktan "Glam". The yellowish cast the skin has in the first closeup is a result of my post processing, not the actual tone of the skin… or a result of eating too many carrots.

The sandals are the new leather wedges from Earthstones.
