QUEENS - Katerina: An Impressive Gown

The very first time I wore anything from QUEENS was when I was in a half panic, not knowing what to wear, only 30 minutes before the start of the finals for Mr. Virtual World that was held on June 6. I was running out of time and I had no idea what I should wear nor had I anything styled.

So out of desperation, I decided to teleport to a new store I had never yet visited. That was QUEENS, a relatively new brand which I had always wanted to visit but hadn't yet found any time to go shopping.

QUEENS was a very elegant store with lots of very attractive outfits. It had a lot of gorgeous gowns as well as some very dressy cocktail dresses. Since that day, this is still my second QUEENS gown which my beloved partner Aris sent to me a few days ago.

Katerina is a gown that has a very big skirt that is all lace. The bodice part uses both lace and solid fabric with a very elegant cut which was almost fresh to the eye that has grown accustomed to the very revealing and bold cuts that you see often in the market.





I decided to style this to make a very classic and authentic look and matched it with a diamond jewelry set from Virtual Impressions. Red nails and lip colour add the finishing touch to this classic elegance.

Mixing and Matching

One of the things we do a lot when we style ourselves is mixing and matching different outfits. Of course you do that when you are wearing casual clothing such as a top from one brand and a bottom from another. But more so than ever, we are seeing cases where we need to pull different parts of an outfit from different brands to create one outfit in order to have something unique.

I don't usually show these "looks" in my blog because it wouldn't do much for the designers who, I am sure, prefer to see their outfits intact rather than torn apart.

But today, I got a shot of a "look" that I was very happy about. I am not a professional photographer nor do I claim that Iam good since I suck at photoshop skills which means I need to rely a lot on what I can do in-world to make my pics look somewhat ok.

So I decided to post this one as I was rather happy with the outcome.

This was a "look" I made by mixing a mini dress from VUI called "Marbled Little Diva (pink/blue)" with the skirt part from a Gothic wedding gown by Miamai called "Kay". What I tried here was to create an elegant gown without losing the soft feel of the mini skirt which is why I avoided long skirts that tend to have straight flexi prims. The skirt from this Miamai gown worked perfectly since the prims are not simple straight prims but rather twisted, forming a soft image. The angle at which it spread out was perfect too so the two skirts didn't look disconnected.


Outfit: VUI "Marbled Little Diva (pink/blue)" + Miamai "Kay"
Earrings: Alienbear Design, Kielo Earring white
Shoot location: Immersiva

New Poses From Body Talking

I admit, I'm a pose whore. When I see new poses, I at least check out most of them although I may not necessarily buy them. Today I am going to show off a new set of poses I just got. The Tandra Set and Tandra Variation Set from Body Talking.

Body Talking has been introducing new poses and sets very energetically recently but the first time I purchased some poses from this store was during Project Tents where Body Talking had a tent. All tent vendors had at least one exclusive item they sold during the charity event and likewise, Body Talking had a set of exclusive poses called the Miaa Set.

So here are some poses from the Tandra Set and Tandra Variation poses. By the way, the Tandra Variation poses are not in the set but you can buy these individually from the demo pose stand. Each pose is L$12o and the Tandra Set is L$900 for 9 poses.
