Sasha features a fantastic floppy bow on the side, which is texture changeable.  The funny thing is, I didn’t even try to see if it was colour-changeable until I was writing this post and it suddenly occured to me to check.  The back is slightly poofed out, as it would be if you were wearing this sort of bow in real life, and it’s those types of details that make me such a fan of their work.

Fiona is a messy sort of updo, the kind of hair that says “I put it up like this when I woke up but it looks freakin’ fantastic on me”.  They do messy styles very well, and I hope when they do release more hair, they release more like this.  I don’t wear long hair too often for boobie penetration reasons, so these types of styles are perfect for me.

And finally, we have Lexi.  A little plain in the front, and totally cute in the back.  This is the hairstyle that is being donated to the Hair Fair charity, Wigs for Kids.  Only L$850 for a fatpack, it’s completely worth it.  But I suppose if you’re not a fatpack buyer, for some unfathomable to me reason, you can get the individual packs for L$250.

JiP is the latest release, and it’s an extremely gorgeous skin available in only one tone currently: cream.  The eyebrows are by far my favourite part of this skin.  They’re thick and luscious and well-groomed, just the way I most like them.  They’re a strong brow, and an accessory unto their own.  If the brows were tintable it’d be better, but these are perfect for the dark-haired beauties out there.

(As an aside: I can haz shadows!!)

There is a huge range of makeups, 17 in all.  And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also 11 lipstick tattoos you can add to any of the skins.  In addition, you can find eyelashes and a free shape!

I’ve mentioned my propensity to buy fatpacks before, right?  I very rarely buy skins as singles, and why would I?  If you buy the fatpack of these skins, the price per skin averages out to L$441, less than half the price of each skin.  She also offers duo packs of certain skins which saves you L$500.  And if you’re a member of her in-world group, you will never regret it because Dutch Touch often gives out gifts and previews, and offers discounts of certain skins.

Speaking of free group previews, this is the latest called JoSje.  It’s a blond-based skin, which is the perfect follow-up to the dark elegance of JiP. The freckles are very cute and all in all, this is a skin for the innocent-looking amongst us, even if you’re not so innocent-acting   Iki’s encouraging feedback as this is a work-in-progress, so join her group and check it out!

Teleport to Dutch Touch!

]]> http://fashionliability.com/im-touching-dutch-again/feed/ 1 http://fashionliability.com/i-touch-dutch/ http://fashionliability.com/i-touch-dutch/#comments Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:16:23 +0000 Phoenix Chapman http://fashionliability.com/?p=1291 Dutch Touch has released a brand new skin called Yri today in two tones: Coffee and Cotton.  She decided on these two tones because she hasn’t made a new skin in these particular tones lately, so there you go.  I personally love both, and ashamedly I got it without even demoing.  But it’s a pretty safe bet for me when it comes to Dutch Touch, and I never regret it.

Look how beautiful that face is!  Soft and pretty with light brushed brows that aren’t too overwhelming, it’s a gorgeous skin and well worth the pricetag.  Go check out Yri at Dutch Touch!

Camile is a sexy sequined minidress which will surely turn some heads at the club (are there any good clubs these days?  Damn I miss Seven Ultra Lounge) or wherever you happen to be.  The huge sleeves too are an eye-catcher.

Laure is an empire-waisted flowy top over some crazy cutout leggings.  I love these leggings so much, I hope they come out in more colours!

Mindy, the craziest ballerina outfit ever, with virtually no top above the corset (just X’d out nipple covers) and a tutu gone loco.  The flower-shaped collar balances out the tutu very well indeed.

Keira is the first skin I’ve ever had with red brows, and I imagine all of the SL gingers out there are delighted to have brows tailor-made for them.  Yes, brown brows seem to work just fine for me when I want to wear red hair, but I’m not a  natural redhead and so I don’t think my opinion counts as much ya know?

The makeups are just as beautiful and flawless as ever, with some old favourites returning, but also some brand new gorgeous choices too. Freckles are a bit more plentiful this time around too, not just randomly placed moles.  This time also, Iki has separated the skins by brow colour, like Belleza did recently with their Elle release.  I still think it’s a good thing overall, but not so much on my Linden balance when I want all of them!

Teleport to Dutch Touch!

After semi-stalking her plurk and Berry’s blog, Zaara finally released the rings she’s been working on and they’re currently only available in her stall at the fair.  There are three different styles, but this Raga ring turned out to be my favourite as I’m currently on a flower kick.  This ring is also available in three colours, so for rings, which there are just not enough of in SL when you take out wedding rings, there’s now lots of new choices at Zaara!

Also worn:

Hair – Truth Candice in Cocoa \ Skin – Tuli Eva in Tone 3 (yay it’s finally out!) \ Top – Whippet & Buck Lismore dress (Stumblebum exclusive) \ Pose - Long Awkward Pose.

U&R Dogs is one of my favourite stores lately for jewelry and I found this gorgeous new set called Danse de la Dragee at the fair.  The multi-coloured gemstones means that you can wear this with anything, whether fancy or casual.

Also worn:

Hair – Truth Jocelyn in Espresso \ Skin – Dutch Touch Amber \ Top – Armidi Gisaci Classic Cashmere sweater in Black \ Pose – Long Awkward Pose.

Also new at U&R Dogs was the Isolde set, though here I’m only wearing the ring cuz it’s a big giant flower!  The ring is texture changeable for the petals, the centre and the ring of gems separating the two.

Also worn:

Hair – Truth Rose in Cocoa \ Skin – L.Fauna Lapine in Pale \ Clothes – Fri.day Paradiso Romper in Leaf \ Pose – Long Awkward Pose.

Rozoregalia is one of those super-expensive jewelry stores in SL, and I don’t own a ton from there (well, this week I actually went a bit crazy but I digress) because of that.  However, the things I do own are really nice and well-made.  At the fair, I picked up this Vanitas set, which is really gorgeous, and there’s more to it than what I am showing here, but I can only afford so much there!  It’s texture/particle/sizing change scripted, so you don’t have to wear it in purple.  But I’m born in February so amethysts are my thing.

Also worn:

Hair – Truth Cyndi in Cocoa \ Skin – Tuli Eva in Tone 3 \ Top (hardly shown but whatever) – Whippet & Buck Simple Cropped Bustier in Black \ Pose – Long Awkward Pose.

And finally, the Hydra set from Rozoregalia.  The necklace was released prior to the fair, and then the hand ring came out during, so of course I had to make my way down there to get it.  This set makes a huge statement so that demanded that the rest of my ensemble live up to it!

Also worn:

Hair – Fri.day Tatum 2 in Startled White \ Skin – LeLutka Ife in Light \ Top – LeLutka Gloria Shirt (Ultra) in White \ Pants – Truth Xanadu leggings in Black \ Pose/Prop – Glitterati Into the Black.

This week was no exception to the awesomeness.

The Spring Bloom dress is so lovely and perfect for spring, which it’s starting to feel like where I am.  It’s March in a couple of days and it has not snowed all winter here.  So I am hoping, knock wood, that it means it won’t!  One can only dream.

So anyhow, where was I…right!  The Spring Bloom dress is a short frock with a ruffly skirt and a low cut scoop-necked tank style top.  It comes in several different colour combinations and lookit the bow on the back!  I love bows.  The hair worn with the yellow dress is also a newer one by Fri.day called Miley, and the one on the left is Carrie.  I love the casual ponytail styles they keep coming out with and rocking the hell out of!

Another very cute dress released recently is the Sweet Heart dress, shown here in Citrine (left) and Pearl (right).  It’s really late and I can’t think of what to say about this dress except look how gorgous!  So go get it.

The other week was a good one for hairstyles with flowers in it.  First Truth came out with Berry, and then this lovely Marie style came out the next day, with a separately attached bloom (so you can wear it with any hairstyle!)  It has to be said that Fri.day has always paid a lot of attention to the small details and making sure that their customers get their money’s worth.  The flower comes with 3 different attachment point options!

Also worn:

Skin – Dutch Touch Amber \ Shoes – LeLutka Saffron pumps \ Jewelry – I’m not going to tell you because looking at this photo now, it kinda looks like it didn’t rez properly but I’m not going back to redo the photo now! \ Poses – Reel Expression.

The comfy cardigan is one of my favourite releases this year.  I’m such a sweater whore.  The jeans are also one of the newer releases, and look at the cute pockets on them!  They do a booty good.

Under the sweater, I’m wearing the Fri.day Basic Cami in white, and this colour is only available as a freebie at the Sunny sim.  Yes, that’s right, a freebie.  This is one of the best cute camis, and I love that it’s not *too* low cut, so it’s good for layering under cardigans like this!  My hair is the brand new effortly classy Summer hair, and I didn’t think of it at the time, but the flower from the Marie hair would be perfect with this to sort of dress it up a bit!

Take the taxi to Fri.day and check out their latest springtimey looks!

Clockwise from the top left:

Elysium is a gorgeous, softly tousled hairdo, exactly what your hair might look like if you just rolled out of bed.  Very sexy.

Milla is a half-up, half-down hairstyle with the bangs swept off to the side.  I adore this one.

Chalice is a very cute updo with a messy bun to the side and long bangs.

And finally, Ben is the lone male hairstyle this week, and it’s pretty nice.  I hope Truth comes out with more male styles.

There you have it.  These will be released later on today/early tomorrow.  And don’t forget, Chalice is the SL Daily Deal today, and he’s selling fatpacks for only L$450 in the Truth Fashion sim!  Only 500 will sell for this low low price, and it’s such a bargain when you consider that you’ll get like…50? colours for less than the price of two colour packs would be at the normal price.

The latest release is Emma’s way of saying she’s sick to death of winter, and bring on the summer already!  I can’t blame her really, though my winter on the west coast has been far better than what I’ve heard it’s like on the east coast.

My favourite of the bunch is the mid-thigh length jeans Shack jeans shorts with rolled up cuffs and in eight incredible denim washes.  These are so worn in and comfy looking, exactly what you’d want to wear over your brand new Moana Surf Co. bikini when you’re at the beach.  They are cut *very* low in the back, so if you are a fan of the hint of plumber crack, these are for you!

The shoes I’m wearing are the excellent Boardwalk shoes, also from Surf Co.  All these shoes coming out, I’m loving like a two dollar shoe whore!

Some of my other favourite releases, though it came out while I was on sabbatical from SL last year.  I’m a little bit Country is the name of this top, and it goes oh-so-perfectly with the Straw Cowboy Hat, my favourite feature of which is how it comes in both a regular shade and the faded version of that shade.  And the hat comes with a wheat shaft to chew on!

Finally, at my friend Bethy’s house lounging (cuz I’m too lazy to rez anything at my house) and reading a book, I slip into my comfy Courtyard slippers and Elma sweatpants.  I love comfy casual clothes in SL, and more often than not when I’m madly scrambling for something, anything, to wear cuz I don’t want to be naked, it’s these or the yummy yoga pants, both from Surf Co.
