comme il faut

You know “free”? Free like in “tree”, “bee” and “pee” (er)? These shoes are free. BUT there’s a catch, of course there’s a catch. If you’re lucky, you can have them on the lucky chair, if you’re patient, you can camp for 2 hours on the prize chairs, but if you need them and don’t want to wait, you just need to buy 300L worth of stuff from Comme il Faut and send me a note with your transaction details. They’re color change, scripted for 36 colors. So that’s like having 36 pairs of cute shoes, guaranteed to match any outfit, for free (or 300L you were going to spent anyway ;). That includes hair fair purchases, as long as they were made AFTER 08/26. And if you think you have everithing you’d ever want from my store, I’ve just put out a new release…

Douilette is a nicely textured turtleneck top, avaliable in 6 colors and 2 layers for mixing and matching. It’s cozy and warm, and only 75L per color or 350 for the fatpack (enough to get the Orchid shoes, hint hint

And, as a thank you for my dear customers, here’s another gift, here modeled by the lovely Sally Yachvili.

No catch. Really. This one is free like bee and tree and weeee! The Swan is a full ballgown that was supposed to be part of a collection I never released, and it’s worth nothing just sitting in my dusty inventory, so I’m giving to you. It’s avaliable on my update group notices or at my store, on the left corner, close to the prize chairs. Enjoy!

This is an old freebie from Bossa Nova - I’ve decided to include it on my Hair Fair gift box, that’s up for grabs at my booth on the orange sim. And I’ll tell you why:

On those times where we’re all haunted by the lag, this, my friends, is a real crime of fashion. Srsly. What’s the point of having such a huge ARC if everyone will see you gray? Your shoes didn’t even rez for me, I can only see your textures because I’ve focused long enough to take the picture.

Honestly, I’ve been walking around the fair very bald and dressed like shit, because, c’mon, nobody will pay attention to me with all that yummy hair to look at. But I’ve decided to accept Ach’s challenge and try to do my best with no prims.

(skin by Chai, suit and necklace by Paper Couture, mani and pedi by The Body Politik, noob hair)

Just another top for the BLOCS collection. Six colors avaliable, all layers, only 75L. Visit Comme il Faut today!

All of them were drawn on the very same templates. Only the color differs, and details like eye makeup or glossy-matte lips. The freebie ones, except for the wine makeup, were “rejected” and given away as gifts just because I thought they were’t “wearable” enough. The wine makeup, actually, was made on the last minute *just* for the hunt, because I thought people would want something more basic and easier to match to their outfits.

These skins are not meant to give a realistic look, I never intended that (first, because I love hand drawn skins, and second, because the market for realistic skins is already oversaturated, I wouldn’t risk entering it). Lips are made to give a fuller, rounder look (just like Lovey’s or the Paon line from Vivant/Fleur). They may not work on every avatar, specially if you already overdo the fullness sliders. A little adjusting could make it work, I always adjust my mouth sliders when trying on a new skin. I’ve even included my own shape for reference inside the complete skin package.

These are shown with the prim eyelashes included on the (non freebie) package. I don’t like the look of drawn on eyelashes, and linden lashes just plain suck, so I keep my slider set to zero. I’m assuming most female avatars wear prim lashes and already have their favorite (I, personally, love the ones from Cake, edited to be on top only), but anyway I’ve included a pair, already fitted to the included shape.

And, btw, adequate lighting can also do wonders for your appearance. Just sayin’.

So, if don’t mind adding some fun, colorful makeups to your inventory, come join our group and/or stop by the store to have some fun with the hunt, before I change my mind and put it all down to stop the complaining.

I’m really, really sorry, but it seems LL broke some scripts I was counting on, scripts that were tested and were working seamlessly yesterday. I’ve spent all my afternoon and most of the evening trying to fix them. Now it’s super late in my part of the world. I’ve been up since 7 am, I’ll get some rest and then tomorrow I’ll decide what to do.

Believe me, nobody is more frustrated than I am.

If you’re curious about the skin line, I’ve just sent a fatpack to my update group… just search for “comme il faut”, with quotes, on the groups tab. The group is free and open for joining.

Now I need some sleep.
