There are so many new things at Exile to share with you that I almost don’t know where to start. I guess I’ll begin with the two new hair releases. Leo is the guy release this week, and it’s a full, layered style brushed back off the face and casually tucked behind the ears. There’s so much to love in this style, but my favorite part has to be the strands that fall down in front of the face because I catch myself wanting to reach up and brush those back.
The women’s release this week is a world away from Leo. Emmanuelle is a decadent updo that makes me think of the extravagant styles of the 18th century while still being completely wearable today. Wearing this one makes me want to dress up and take a walk through one of the historical sims for photos.

As many of you have probably heard by now, Hair Fair 2009 has been extended two days as a response to some of the issues SL was having during the first weekend of the fair. This means the final day of the fair will be July 6 rather than July 4, but designers will still be able to put their Hair Fair styles in their own shops on July 4.
One of the styles currently up in the Exile booth at Hair Fair is Lolita, a funky set of pigtails with a variety of accessory options if you choose to use them. I personally love the kawaii barrettes that are included because the loops of pearls and dangling hearts make the hair even cuter. The hearts are scripted for several color options as you can see below, and there are even more colors not shown. The face decal with two small hearts is also in the package.
If you’re not in the mood for the more ornate barrettes, then Kavar has included another option that still uses the scripted hearts. The heart duo barrettes are simpler but still just as sweet an option. Of course Lolita also looks great plain without any of the barrette options.
Lolita is up for sale at the Exile booth on the SW sim at Hair Fair. Demos for Lolita and the other 4 Hair Fair styles are also available online at XStreet and at the Exile main shop.

I’ll confess that I have a slight obsession with braids, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see the newest release from Exile had multiple braids. Giselle has a braid that wraps around the crown of the head from ear to ear, and then the side ponytail behind the right ear contains 3 more braids. It’s a very cute playful style that’s just perfect for this time of year, and those little wispy bits of hair make it feel very natural as well.
Giselle is up for sale now at Exile, so TP over for a demo, and I think you’ll fall in love with it too.
