Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend yesterday’s Spring Ball as I was busy getting sunburned at a horseshow, but I have seen snaps of the party and everyone looked fantastic. I am however, enjoying my new “Laura” skin from Fleur - one of numerous new skins released by Roslin and CJ as part of a larger collaboration with Nicky Ree, Calla hair and Alienbear.

Though I was tempted to don one of the absolutely stunning ball gowns released by Nicky, I went with the more svelte “Laura” gown to accompany its namesake make-up (it’s also something I can wear a bit more methinks). The dress color is raven and it’s uniquely beautiful, as all of Nicky’s gowns are. The prim skirt attachments are scripted but I turned them all off, as I prefer not to mess with sit scripts.

Part of the Vivant line, the Laura skin is available in all six tones, with dramatic lined eyes and wine lips. Above are the palest cream and almond tones (my personal favorite).

I am still slowly catching up from a week away, so in case you haven’t yet been over to Fleur since Roslin and CJ re-launched their apparel line, I’d recommend you do that. Does everyone remember the monthly skin and outfit offers from a year or so ago? I don’t know if those will happen again, but personally, I’d love to see that.

As before, you’ll find all kinds of goodies - complete outfits, separates as well as accessories. In fact, the new pastel gloves (that come in three sizes in each color pack for only $100L) are perhaps my favorite new items I am showing the short versions in pink and sky here, but there are many more colors and a deeply discounted fatpack to satisfy everyone.

On the full outfits side, there’s “Desk Set” that comes in multiple colors and two primary looks - jacket/blouse and blouse alone. Those of you who appreciate clothing that doesn’t need huge amounts of prims to be beautiful, will love the options here - and particularly with details such as the rouching on the skirt, and carefully drawn zipper and fasten.

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.
