Vero Modero Made An Outfit For Popo!

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Kay Fairey

Bouquet Babii of Vero Modero, added an outfit with Popo on it in her new release called “SS Top Sets” that comes with jeans leggings. There are 5 variations…ones with a panther, 2 variations with cats, a zebra and finally one with Popo! So this set is called “Owl Popo”. 😀

I really wish I had this set in real life! I would so wear this!

I brought Popo to the screen and was showing him but he started to poke my screen with his beak >.< How disrespecting of him! He needs to learn manners.

And Kim Rongyu, my SL friend and model, gave me this in-world Popo! He will hunt, fly off and come back and he can even go searching for little insects he can eat. 🙂 His movements are so real so the creator must have really studied the movements of these birds. She has other birds too and I liked this owl so much that I went to her store later and bought a falcon also! But the falcon was a bit too big to sit on my shoulder so this little owl is just the right size for this. 🙂 Thank you, Kim! ❤

I Love Colours! – Prism, Leilani Dress

Posted on May 9, 2014 by Kay Fairey

Things had been a bit hectic both in SL and real life and I couldn’t blog as much as I wanted to. I’ve been busy in real life since I have to move out of my house by the beginning of June, and I had to find a house that I could live in temporarily for six months. Of course, moving will not be fun with 2 dogs and an owl and finding a house that will allow us to stay only for 6 months was not easy either. But I think I found the perfect house with plenty of room for the dogs and a small garden for them to play in…and of course, a space for my car.

It was quite impossible to find such a place inside the metropolitan Tokyo area with land prices being so high but I found this house in the outskirts of Tokyo. I have always lived in the residential area of the city and it will be fun to live in the countryside for a change. I will be far away from the fashion center of Tokyo but I am so going to enjoy this 6 months and now almost look forward to it! I am sure it will be a nice change for my dogs and Popo the owl too. Of course, at this point, I am trying to shove the idea of having to move aside and push it way back into the corner of my attention because the moment I think about the process, I tend to get a headache.

Enough about my real life stuff and back to my blog. I have always loved playing with different colours, both in real life and SL. Prism, which has a brand caption “adding color to your life” did exactly that again and came up with 6 amazing colours in this lovely cute dress called “Leilani” which is a Hawaiian name that means heavenly lei.

I bought 3 myself simply because I couldn’t decide which one to buy. Now that I think of it, maybe I should have just gotten the fat pack. 😛 I would so wear this in real life…and with sneakers on bear feet too! Maybe I was already thinking about my life in the countryside when I styled this. 🙂

The other 5 colours are amazing too and each one if so different. Here is the store poster that shows the 2 other colours available.

By the way, it’s all about colours and prints in real life fashion too this season. So don’t miss the summer train and hop on with all the colours you have!

Vintage Elegance With Glam Dreams

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Kay Fairey

So I was in Opium Evolution‘s Gatsby Show that did three showings over two weekends and we had so many guests come on all three days! It was such a fun show to watch and to walk in and being a vintage fashion fan, I really had a great time. I thank all the guests who took the time out to come to watch the show.

I wore a total of four outfits and one of them was this lovely gown made by sandytpr Lysette of Glam Dreams called “Gatsby“. It comes with the hair accessory, gloves and the fur shawl that I am wearing here.

This was the first show I walked since I came back and it made me realize one more time how much I loved modeling…but more so than that, how much I loved being part of shows together with my fellow friend models. We would laugh, say silly jokes, make fun of each other, help out when somebody needs help…that is the best part of being in shows and I truly enjoy the time I spend. Yes, even if it was 4am in the morning my time!

For that, I thank all my model friends for the fun they give me and for being there when I need help or just somebody to talk to. ❤

Gown: Glam Dreams, “Gatsby” Lace Gown (White & Black)
Necklace: Maxi Gossamar, Pearl Necklaces, Combo Long, Mono colors

Last Two Days of SAVIAD Spring Fair 2014!

Posted on March 29, 2014 by Kay Fairey

SAVIAD Spring Fair is almost over ending on March 31. So two more days to go shopping if there is something you still want!

For this lovely dress from Solidea Folie, I picked yellow out of many colours. It was just a coincidence that I picked yellow because in a colour test I just did on facebook, the test said I was yellow. I wonder how accurate these tests are and I’m not trusting them 100% but yellow doesn’t sound too far off. 😛 I do like yellow very much (as you can see here) and I do like pretty colours. 🙂 And the car I just got in real life is yellow too!

And the mask I wore here was a item I got from a gacha I just happened to run into. Gachas have become very popular in SL and it comes as a pleasant surprise that this fun real life game have been accepted and enjoyed so widely by the SL residents The only difference is here in SL, it’s the grown ups that enjoy gachas and you can get pretty cool items too!

Gown: SoliDea FoliEs, Fiera 3 @ SAVIAD Spring Fair*
Mask: tram, Mesh Masks (plain 4) – Gacha item
Ring: Maxi Gossamer, Annoushka Black Diamond Ring
Earrings: Maxi Gossamer, Tatiana Black Diamond Earrings

I’m Feeling The Spring! Solidea Folie, Blooming Spring 4

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Kay Fairey

It’s this time of the year that I start to feel light, happy, joyful and playful. 😀 In real life, I’d want to go outside, take my car for a spin and going to the park with my dogs becomes a true pleasure. I must say, during winter, walking the dogs is a chore especially if the weather is bad. lol It’s probably not a coincidence that I also just got my new car which is yellow and it looks nice to be driving it in pretty spring colours. 🙂 And in Second Life, my wardrobe starts to get more playful with lots of pretty colours too. I get inspired a lot by pretty dresses with happy colours so it was almost natural that I got attracted to this beautiful gown by Mila Tatham of Solidea Folie. It was so perfect for my mood that day. I wanted to style it so it will be “fluffy and light”…of course, not in a literal sense but in a “feeling” sort of meaning. And this is the first week that I’m not turning on my heater in real life. Yay! Good bye, winter. See you around in fall!

Blessings In My Life – Vero Modero, So Serious Dress

Posted on March 13, 2014 by Kay Fairey

About a month ago, I was blessed to have a 5 months old baby owl come into my life which, I must admit, threw my life into another animal frenzy…but surely a very happy one for that matter.

I have always had an admiration for raptors, or birds of prey, ever since I had a falcon follow me flying right close to me one day when I was riding my motorcycle alone in the mountains of Japan. I turned my head while riding and my eyes met his. Of course there was no words, but I was 100% sure we had a silent ‘connection’ at that moment. He flew along me for quite some distance and when he finally parted to go his way, he looked at me once more as if to say goodbye. It was truly a magical moment I will never forget and ever since that day, I have developed this special admiration and love towards these amazing creatures.

OK, my owl, Popo, is not EXACTLY a falcon. He is only about 20 cm tall (a little over half a feet) and he is hardly as fierce-looking as a falcon. I must say, he is more comical and he makes me laugh just looking at him because of his big round eyes that make him look as if he is always surprised. And more than anything he is a blessing. When I take him to the park for a stroll, he makes everybody happy. I think he has that special power. 🙂

So when I saw a notice in my group about a new release from Vero Modero that had an eagle printed on the entire dress, I simply dropped everything I was doing and 20 seconds later, I was already in the store, ready to surrender my wallet to this amazing outfit.

The bag I have here was another timely blessing! Right after I styled this with a black shoulder bag, my great friend Kimmera Madison, owner and creator of Tres Beau, sent this bag to me as a gift. She made this one-of-a-kind Pikachu bag for me and as you can see, it even comes with a label that says “Kay”! Thank you, Kimmera, for this cute bag! I just love it! ❤

I thank all the wonderful blessings I have the pleasure of encountering in my life. 🙂

Spring Is (Almost) Here! Spring Casual Look With Mon Tissu

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Kay Fairey

It’s still cold outside on most days but recently I am noticing that on some sunny days, the temperature is not as low as it had been and we get spasms of warmer weather. We are not there yet but spring is definitely coming closer!

Today, it was one of those nice sunny days and I decided to take my pet owl out to the park after I have done my rounds with my dogs. He is still only six months old and he is getting used to my dogs but still not quite comfortable when they get too close. So I still have to take them out separately just so that my owl doesn’t get too nervous with the excited dogs. He is a tiny owl and won’t grow any bigger and it’s really funny to watch him go very thin when he sees a big dog such as a Labrador or a Golden Retriever because he is afraid but when he sees small dogs like Chiwawas, he spreads his wings out as much as he can, opens his already big eyes even bigger and tries to threaten the Chiwawas, who usually don’t even care that my tiny owl is doing his best to scare them.

With spring so close, I just felt like getting my wardrobe ready for the pleasant season also so I dropped by at one of the stores I liked very much for high quality casual fashion, mon tissu. The store had many outfits that got my attention but for today, I decided that I wanted to style with lots of flowers! So I made a look using lots of pretty spring colours and lots of flowers to celebrate the arrival of my favorite season.

I am hoping that very soon, I will be able to go to the park with all four of us (me, two dogs and my owl) wearing something similarly fun. 🙂

Business In Style – Glam Dreams, Coco Black Suit

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Kay Fairey

In real life, I rarely wore what is generally known as business suits for women. The office environment that surrounded me either allowed relatively free styles or when I worked for MAC cosmetics, we were only allowed to wear black but style was totally free. Wait, I shouldn’t say “totally” free because one female staff did get banned from working in a department store booth we had when she wore only a black/white scarf twisted between her breasts and tied at the back for her top and a micro-mini short pants that almost revealed her butt cheeks. *giggles* So I can’t really say it was “totally” free but compared to most work places, I always had more freedom.

There were times, however, when I had to wear what is loosely called “power suits” which were female business suits that spoke silently to the counterpart that “I am serious and I mean business!”

It is almost refreshing to see such a power suit in SL where a lot of the outfits we see are either flamboyant, extravagant, fun, cute or sexy. Coco Black Suit from Glam Dreams is exactly that suit that allows us to be serious and stylish at the same time.

I matched it with a delicate and lovely pair of glasses from Crie Style which is a rare store that specializes in glasses and monocles that no other can compare when it comes to detail and creativity. The glasses are beyond jewelry items when it comes to the fine and minute details which never stops to amaze me. I have to admit, I will never have the patience to build something like this without losing my mind or pulling out all my hair…or both!

AZUL, Rita In Champagne

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Kay Fairey

When I came back to SL, I was living in my free Linden home for about a week while I was thinking what I should do for a more permanent home. I lived in a private island for a very long time and I loved the privacy and the freedom to terraform the island to what ever I wanted. So at one point, I had a medieval village. At another time, I had a modern house with a beautiful garden. I loved how I could make anything and change it when I got bored. But this time, the situation was a bit different. I needed a house that I can feel comfortable in immediately. I didn’t think I had the luxury of time to terraform, build a house and decorate it but I still wanted to live in a beautiful environment.

One day, Aris came home all excited. Apparently, he had gone wandering around different sims and somehow ended up in the sim where the Rose Theater was located. He then told me that there are furnished apartments we can rent there and he wanted me to come see it. I fell in love right away and we decided to make this place our home. So here we are in the beautiful sim owned and built by Kaya Angel called the Angel Manor Estate. We love strolling around the beautiful garden where there is a riding stable, clay pigeon shooting, a mini golf course, a sanctuary where we can sit down for a nice tea party, an art gallery…there is just so much to enjoy and explore. We even found a bath like the ancient Roman bath in the basement of the palace! I am sure we haven’t even seen everything yet.

Another thing I am loving is that being a resident of this place, I can rez my pose stand anywhere on this vast estate! So today, I decided to use this grand staircase to shoot a picture for my blog post for the lovely Rita gown in champagne colour from Azul. It seemed perfect for this elegant gown.

Now if only I didn’t get lost every time I take a stroll… These are the moments I curse my horrible sense of direction in both RL and SL. 😦
