Meiling - More From The Grand Riviere Collection

Real life designer, Meiling, launched her RL Spring/Summer Collection "Grand Riviere" recently starting off with her promotional garment Wind Song Dress, which I blogged about in this blog.

Now she has launched more from this all-white collection which has gathered much press coverage and excitement in RL and we are seeing more coming into SL!

Here, I will introduce two of such most recent SL launched the White Peony Gown and the Mt. Plaisir Dress.  Although they are all different in design, the simple, clean and yet elegant style that Meiling is known for is inherited in her SL collections.

The White Peony Gown is a very simple gown seen from the front but the back of the gown is all covered with flowers made from the same material and positively betrays our expectation by presenting a gorgeous and elegant look.  This gown is most likely best styled by keeping the rest a simple and clean as the frontal view.

And the next outfit is the Mt. Plaisir Dress which has a very sweet and innocent look which I so love about this dress.

A New Release from Glitterati by Sapphire - Alisha Coffee

Glitterati by Sapphire with designer Sapphire Teebrook has just released "Alisha Coffee" on July 3.  It is a casual set that includes a corduroy type tube top, a short jacket in cream colour and three types of corduroy type pants that you can style; slim pants, boot cut and capri pants.  Of course you can style this with or without the jacket and with different pants so it a very versatile set with a very good value.

Here I styled the slim pants with the short jacket and wore another new items from Glitterati that was released together with the outfit set, which is the really cute sneaker type ankle boots that I am wearing here in the pics.

This outfit set is sold for a discounted 199L for a few days and the ankle boots are offered for a whopping 75% group discount for a limited time also.  So run and grab them now before the limited sales is over!!

I matched these with a hat from LeLutka, a really nice casual tote bag from Boom and also a new type of jewelry released from ByKay.  These Cleo Jewelry were created by KayLeigh McMillan with special care taken to keep the ARC (Avatar Rendering Cost) down.  So this new low ARC jewelry will be perfect items to wear to heavy-lag events and fashion shows.  KayLeigh will be releasing more designs in her low-ARC jewelry series so these are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

New Release from the Niven Collection - Paint Splash Dress

A cute dress that's full of colours is out from the Niven Collection with designer Scarlett Niven.    This is such a fun outfit with so many different ways you can style it!

Being a big fan of colours who love to play with different colour combinations, I decided to do the same with this outfit.

The Niven Collection - Paint Splash Dress

The outfit comes with two skirt types; one sheer and one solid colour versions.  It also comes with a top with sleeves or no sleeves and you can also choose to wear a collar, collar with broach, only broach or nothing at all.  So possibilities are endless!

 

Here I wore it with the solid skirt, no sleeve tank type top and wore only the broach.  I changed the attachment point of the broach, however, from left to right shoulder to avoid the hair.  This hair, by the way, is another new hair that was released from Bliss Hair for Hair Fair.

Mashooka Designs - Suhana

I went to visit my good friend and designer, Aradhana Voight to her store, Mashooka Designs and before I left the store, found this lovely summery outfit "Suhana" in the New Release items area.  I got the Grape colour and decided to style it a bit differently.

Mashooka Designs - Suhana (grape)

Suhana is a very cute outfit that uses silky printed fabric.  Something that is very fun to style during the hot summer season.

The metallic glitter tights that I wore here was a freebie offered in a store called G L A M which I obtained some time ago.  I still treasure this set as it is a set of tintable tights that you can add any colour you like by editing it.

I matched this with a new release from Mandala, called "Milky Way" which is offered only in white, as the name suggests.  And the shoes are a new release from Pixel Fashion.  The killer pin heel comes in several shades which you can change with a menu.

Dress: Mashooka Designs, Suhana (grape)
Tights: G L A M, Tintable Metallic Lycra Tights
Necklace & Earrings: Mandala, Milkyway2 Necklace & Earrings
Bracelets: Mandala, Milkyway Bracelet
Prim Nails: CCD, Prim Nails + Ring, Famous (Turquoise)
Shoes: Pixel Fashion, Eve Temptation (Purple)
