I have been revisiting old favorites again - in fact this time around, potentially the favorite. Without being too overbearingly Gillian-like, I’ll go so far as to say that this particular shop was one of the reasons I stayed interested in SL fashion over the long haul. It was the first clothing I purchased and thought, “this is very me.” The real me.

Those who know me might already know that I’m talking about ‘Kota Buck’s Savvy? brand. Looking back through 1.5 years of fashion blogging will indeed reveal that I not only own everything she’s ever made, but I very likely blogged it too

I remember the first item I ever bought from ‘Kota was a pair of “Colleen” bib shorts. They’ve been re-done since then and are still available in multiple colors in fact. The point is, I trash a lot in my inventory but there are certain shops that get a special place and will *never* be culled.

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you know that ‘Kota is now designing as Lindsay Armidi. Though I’m proud of her and eagerly await more from her as Lindsay, I’m not shy about saying how much I miss Savvy? I also know I’m only one of many. Of course, the good news is Savvy? is still around and most of the items I snapped here (no, not all) can still be purchased.

Actually, on Fleur (pardon my pun)

Roslin and CJ have just released a new batch of their specialty Boutique skins, Deux Parfait - in three tones, with six new makeups for each. As before, they are 100% hand-drawn, and this time, with a more subtle nostril that will suit a wider-range of noses (mine included!). You can pick them up at $1200L for singles or multipacks with all 6 makeups for only $4000L. They also feature mod eyebrows for a perfect match.

Starting with the darkest tone, Toffee. This is makeup #6 with lavender eyes and pinky glossed lips.

Note, I usually take off any prim lashes while in these skins. If you do remove your lashes, think about increasing the system lashes on your shape.
