New @ Magika

New at Magika this week is the very cute Blind hair. There are often times in Secondlife when you want something a little different, so if ever you want to be blindfolded, whether it is for RP, games or photoshoots, then Blind at Magika is the hair style for you. The blindfold is also color change and can be changed to a wide variety of colors. I have said before that being a blonde it can sometimes be a challenge getting the right blonde textures but the blonde pack at Magika is perfect and every shade is fabulous. As with all Magika hair styles, Blind comes in a variety of color packs and demos are available to try before you buy.

Ballzyponytail @ Chantkare

Whilst looking through some photos on flickr recently I came across this amazing ponytail and absolutely loved it but had no idea where it was from. Then on a recent shopping trip to Chantkare I saw it there on the shelf and grabbed the demo. After trying it on I loved it even more and went to back to buy it. I love things a little different to the norm and this ponytail is certainly that. It is designed with very exquisite detail and is a fabulous style for runway and photoshoots.

The Ballzyponytail is a hair piece attachment designed to be worn with LeLutka Hair Base Skins and above I am wearing it in Pale Blonde with the Light Estelle Makeup from LeLutka. There are also some more great styles at Chantkare and all available to try as demo's first, so follow the link below to check them out.

Over the last few weeks there have been some fantastic new releases and here are two of my favorites. Above is the Kay hair in gold, a very dramatic updo encrowned in a jeweled headpiece. The attention to detail really is spectacular, creating a very distinctive style that will make you shine.

New Colors @ Lamb!

If you are a fan of Lamb Hair then you will know there are two fabulous new colors coming out. Many new hairs are currently being made for the upcoming Hair Fair and will be available in the two new colors but as part of the 50L Friday, Lamb Bellic has put out two of her styles in the new colors each priced at only 50L. Above is the I'm a Romantic Hair pictured in the new color of Honeycomb. As a blonde myself I am quite picky over blonde hair textures but this new shade is fabulous and if you are looking for a darker blonde, which is quite soft and not brassy, then the honeycomb texture is ideal.

The next new color is Milk as pictured above in the Poppyseed style. The Milk shade will be added to the Grayscale Color Packs and Honeycomb will be added to the Bimbo Color Packs. If you want to get your hands on these two fantastic new colors, follow the link below before next friday to grab these two styles at only 50L or wait a little longer for the Hair Fair 2010, where you will find the new Lamb styles available in these colors.

New Hair @ Bliss Couture

I received a notecard recently, which showed the new hair releases over at Bliss Couture and I really was amazed to see how fantastic they were. Many of the new styles are not what you would wear for a day at the beach but for any models, bloggers, photographers and people who like to stand out from the crowd they are perfect. Above is the Angelina Hair in Cannelle, a very big and stylish updo perfect for adding to any couture outfit to make it shine on the catwalk.

Next is the Horn Hair in Caviar, which really does not need much explaining as you can see how amazing this style is above. The Horn Hair has very much a fantasy feel about it and for anyone into the more alternative/fantasy style then this hair is a must. This new hair collection is definately a great addition to the sl hair market and with 27 styles in total so far, there is something for everyone. Follow the link below to Bliss Couture to check out these sophisticated styles by Amutey DeCuir.

A Shiny Happy Update

I started this blog many months ago but due to sl and rl commitments have not kept it updated. It has always been my wish to have an up to date sl hair blog and with the 2010 Hair Fair looming I decided now was the time to get it back into full swing and add a weekly update of all the fabulous new hairs arriving in sl. With this in mind I decided to add a post of all my favorite hair releases since my last post on March. To start with it is one of my favorite stores Posh. Posh have released many new hairs since March but my favorite three are pictured here. Above is the Rosie Hair in Blonde, a very long style with cute ribbon and bow and below is the Diamond Hair, which comes in the regular color packs and also includes three styles of Bangless, Side Swept and the regular version as below so with the Diamond packs you get three fantastic looks in one.

Below is the Rumour Hair from Posh, I love the versatility of this updo hair, it looks fantastic styled up to go with formal outfits and also adds a very cute look to the more casual outfit.

Another of my favorite hair stores in sl is of course fri.day and they have released numerous hairs over the course of the summer, including the three below, which are my favorites. First the Kate 2 hair in Anxious Blonde. A loose wavy style with the front kept back off the face with a neat braid. Perfect for adding to many outfits for a cute summer look.

Below is the Scarlett 2 Hair in Anxious Blonde from fri.day, another light and loose style with the side loosly tied back and finished off with a color change hairband. Not only can the color of the band be changed to match with your outfits but you can also change the color of the metal studs or hide the studs completly to show a plain band.

Another favorite hair from fri.day this summer was the Summer Hair as pictured below in Anxious Blonde, also my favorite fri.day hair color. Summer is a very plain and simple updo smoothly tied back from the face into a neat bun at the back. This is a great hair for adding accessories to syle it just the way you want.


The last two styles i want to show in this post are both from Wild O, this is not such a well known store but the styles are very unique and the ones shown here i found to be just perfect for the summer. Above is the Ann Hair in pearl, a cute braided style perfect for wearing with swimwear or casual wear. What I love most about this hair is the textures and the sun drenched look, it gives a feel that you have spent many days by the beach playing in salt water, i just love it.

And finally, the nbo Hair in pearl from Wild O. Textured in the same way as the Ann hair, this fantastic style looks great with so many different outfits. A medium length style tied at the sides in loose buns.

All of the above styles are available in various color packs and if you want to try before you buy, follow the links below to grab the demos.
