Fashion Liability!

I’ve noticed that several bloggers seem to want to post their favourites lately, and of course I’m not one to miss bandwagons!   Okay, okay, I know I miss them constantly, but that’s only because I’m lazy.

Last year, I did a weekly series, with posts dedicated to showcasing one particular item of a genre.   This year, I’m not going to be that ambitious, just because I don’t spend as much time in SL as I did last year.

So today, it’s all about my top five favourite hairstyles.  Now, there is obviously a ton of haird I love and wear constantly, but these are the ones I seem to pull out all the time when I have like one minute to put together an outfit that doesn’t look like I spent only one minute putting together the outfit (and now I seem to have blown my cover so I’ll have to figure out some new stand-bys )

Now, Edie is a brand-new hairstyle, but no less an absolute staple in my inventory.  Truth is my superhero when it comes to hair.  This is hands-down my favourite ponytail in SL.  I hope next is a version with bangs, and without the braid, and with bangs with the braid….

Worn in this photo is L.Fauna’s Lapine Berry in Pale and LeLutka’s Turtleneck Sweater in Grey.

I think Maitreya does the best messy updo’s in all of SL.  Green is one of my favourites, though it was a close call with Zoe, again by Maitreya.  I couldn’t decide.  I want to have Onyx’s bedheaded prim babies.

Speaking of prim babies, one of my friends recently told me that her ironically purchased and only-kept-to-freak-out-her-friends prim baby was named after her favourite skin creator, Gala Phoenix.  So Gala, if you’re listening, you have a huge fan. If you IM me, I’ll tell you her name!

Otherwise worn in this photo is Laq’s Ania 02 in Peach, and Elate’s Tuli sweater dress in Burnt Orange.

I’m in love with this short hairstyle, again by Truth.  Don’t worry, he doesn’t appear again on my love letter to the hairstylists of the grid.  This is Grazia, named after his partner (though I think he made it before they were partnered), the divine Ms. Horwitz.  It comes in two flavours, and while I love both of them, this one is just a wee bit better.

Also worn is the Alyson group gift in Pale, by Belleza (a skin I’m eagerly anticipating) and Gettin’ Horizontal in Cherry by Mischief.

There are so many long hairstyles in SL that it’s practically impossible to choose just one for this list.  But I gave it a try.  Lamb Bellic makes some of the best dos and textures around, and Poppyseed is one of the best really long styles I’ve seen in a while.  The little braid is so cute too.

LeLutka’s Estelle is my skin of choice in this photo, in Makeup 2D in the Light tone, and the Fri.day Basic Cami in Navy Dot.

And last, but not least, is Fri.day’s Tatum hair, which is probably my most favourite updo right now.  The bangs are awesome, as are all the bangs that Fri.day does, and it strongly reminds me of Elika’s work.  I miss Elika.  Where’s Elika?  Sadface.

Sorry, got lost in a tangent there for a moment.  Tatum also comes in two flavours, for those who like the straight bangs, and then those who don’t can wear the Tatum II style with the bangs pinned to the side.

Worn in this photo is the amazingly tantalizing Eva skin in Tone 3, a current group gift (unless it’s dropped out of the notices by now, which is distinctly possible) by Tuli, the Chandy earrings by Paper Couture and the black turtleneck by Coco, another group gift of days gone by, though this one is still on the wall in her store, as far as I know.

So that’s it, my top five hairstyles currently on the grid.  Did I miss any?  Did I make a huge mistake with one of these styles?
