Entre Mares At Fan Limited Store - Charice in White

2012-01-17T13:47:00.000Z

Entre Mares has a lovely white gown released in Fan Limited Store.. It's a gorgeous mermaid gown and I loved the white colour of the gown that I can wear without looking like a bride.

Entre Mares - Charice in White (Fan Limited Store)

Charice in white is sold for a 50% discount for a limited number of 30 items or a period of 3 weeks and after that the outfit can be purchased in the Entre Mares main store after this 3 week period or after all 30 are sold out, but the price will go back to its regular price.

The delicate pattern in black of the gown matches a new release from Finesmith Jewelry called Aphrodite Inspiration that is a set that includes a pair of earrings and a choker with a butterfly motif.

Diram Has A New Collection Out! - GAGALICIOUS

2012-01-13T23:45:00.000Z

djod Karu of Diram has just released her new collection which she calls "GAGALICIOUS". It consists of 6 fabulously smexy outfits which includes one gown which is unusual for Diram. But it didn't turn out to be just another sweet and pretty gown. It is elegant and smexy but yet keeps the fierce and cool image that Diram designs have always been known for.

So here I have two outfits from this 6 outfit collection. Lady Gaga - MTV, which is the gown and Lady Gaga - Judas, which is another sexy and fierce outfit that I so love Diram for.

djod, congratulations on another great collection!

DIRAM - Lady Gaga "MTV"

This gown has fierce looking pointy studs attached to the bust line and the skirt shape is just gorgeous! Here I used the new hair, Lexington, from Vanity Hair and the new jewelry set from Chop Zuey that was so perfect for this gown with the black and white diamonds used to create a black and white design.

And the second outfit, Judas, is my other fav. What I liked the most was the red lining of this studded short jacket which looks so cool! So I styled it with red boots and jewelry both from Pixel Fashion and glitter makeup from VoguE. The boots come with a colour change feature where you can change the colour to red, dark red (used here), orange and yellow.

DIRAM - Lady Gaga "Judas"

The bandana that is tied around my head comes as part of the Judas set. And I used a red tinted hair from Tukinowaguma to play with the red.

MVW Gown From Elan Now In 8 Colours!

2012-01-09T13:38:00.001Z

Alatiel Malies' new brand Elan made the Miss Virtual World evening gown for Miss Thailand in the Miss Virtual World Grand Finals that was held on December 17th last year. Since then, the MVW gown that Miss Thailand, DiamondGem Destiny, wore has been released in the store with an additional 7 new colours! That's 8 colours in all!

This gown, made by Alatiel for Elan, is a very feminine style with very soft lovely colours and now it is available in black, blue, red, cream pastel green, pastel light blue, pastel pink, white and rose. Here, I wore the rose colour of the DiamondGem MVW Gown with a jewelry set from a la folie, which now has a jewelry section in the store.

A Gorgeous Winter Look from ALB Dream Fashion

2012-01-05T07:04:00.000Z

AnaLee Balut of ALB Dream Fashion had released a whole series of new male and female outfits. The one I am wearing today is just one of the new releases.

ALB Dream Fashion has always been very unique in its designs as well as colours used and AnaLee creates her own world with her amazing creations. In case you didn't know, Mimmi Boa wore AnaLee's off-the-rack gown when she won Miss Virtual World 2009!

ALB CHRIST 2011 show AFTERNOON CHIC F - Diva Tango Special

It is a set that includes a Diva Winter Jacket, Tango Dress, London Boots, ALB Dream Skin "MC Marlene 27 Smoke III" and ALB Lashes, Jewel Pearl AnaLee, The Tango Dress is sold separately but if you like it, this set which AnaLee calls ALB CHRIST 2011 show AFTERNOON CHIC F - Diva Tango Special is really worth the buy!

As you can see, the coat itself is a gorgeous winter coat which uses the jacket layer, allowing it to be worn with other outfits. The skin is a really glam skin and lashes in the set is amazing! These too, can definitely be used with other outfits.

AZOURY - A Place For French Fashion

2012-01-03T18:26:00.001Z

In December last year, BLVD Agency did a fashion show for AZOURY and I must admit, I completely fell in love!

Designer of AZOURY, Mayhem Seetan, has many items using mesh, which is the new technology in SL fashion, but she also has many that only uses conventional prims. This outfit was one of her new releases which does not use mesh so it's also good for those who are not sure yet about wearing mesh outfits.

AZOURY - La Tenue Shining

The designs by Mayhem can best be described as fashionable and unique using great colour combination which can only be achieved by talented people who have an eye for colours. As for design, the outfit I am wearing here demonstrates how Mayhem can take a simple mini dress and add elements that make it unique and stylish. In this case, for example, the use of the orange tights adds so much to the entire look as well as the bi-coloured high collar. And I love how she made the sleeves very sheer!

Most outfits have shoes that match and complete the look as in this one. Flat shoes tastefully done are items I like in RL too. Stylish flat shoes can sometimes make a look REALLY fashionable and I must say this look is something I would definitely wear in RL!

As I wrote in my earlier post, I had an emergency happen in RL which had since prevented me from going on a major shopping spree but AZOURY is definitely going to a store I need to raid!

Outfit: AZOURY, La Tenue Shining - NEW
Shoes: AZOURY, Ballerine shoes (blue) - NEW
Earrings: je suis, Asymetrique Earrings (blue)
Hair: BooN, LEZ218 Hair (black)
Prim Nails: CCD, Prim Nail Manicure (orange)

New Year Limited Edition Release from Bliss Couture!

2012-01-01T21:28:00.001Z

Happy New Year! It's 2012 and this is my 1st blog post for this year. :) I wish this will be a blessed and better year for all.

And for my very first post this year, I wanted to introduce Bliss Couture's "Fur Coat/Sequin Gown (New Year Edition)" which has just been released. It's a limited colour fur coat but omg I am absolutely loving this colour!! Bliss Couture has been releasing a lot of seasonal limited editions since last Christmas and a lot of them are items you don't want to pass out on.

Bliss Couture - Fur Coat/Sequin Gown (New Year Edition)

This release is a very elegant powder pink fur coat worn over a silver sequin gown which makes an amazing winter formal look. Of course, you can wear the coat over other outfits as it uses the jacket layer, or wear the sequin gown without the coat. The coat will look great worn over casual clothes as well. The matching gloves I am wearing comes with the set.

Here I wore this with a Bliss Couture "Sasii Hat" in white and a lovely makeup tattoo from VoguE. This makeup will come with only the eye tattoo and one with lipstick as well which is the one I am wearing here. The earrings worn here are also a new release from Mandala.

This fur coat and gown set is a new year limited release so run before it's too late!

VoguE - Steffi Gown

2011-12-26T16:10:00.000Z

I know some countries have Boxing Day, but now that Christmas is over, I am finally finding some time to post about a beautiful gown from VoguE. I had taken pictures of these about 2 weeks ago, but I had something that happened in RL that got in the way and I wasn't able to post them earlier.

This is a gown that was released from VoguE very recently and I loved the graduation of the two colours on the skirt. Zalyn Bailey, who is the owner and the designer of VoguE, has prepared many colour variations which all have this feature with different colour combinations. And the all-ruffled top is just so cute!

I also liked how it has this skirt that is completely long from the back and side views, and yet, when you look at it from the front, it looks like a sexy mini dress.

VoguE - Steffi Gown (Royal Blue)

VoguE also has a series of Glitter Makeup in tattoo layers which I am totally in love with. Although it's called "Glitter Makeup", it's not too glittery and each glitter eye-shadow colour comes with 4 different shades of lipstick, which makes it very "easy to use."

VoguE - Glitter Makeup Set 1 ~ D (Lavendar with wine lipstick)

Outfit: VoguE, Steffi Gown (Royal Blue)
Makeup: VoguE, Glitter Makeup Set 1 ~ D (Lavender with wine lipstick)
Hair: Bliss Hair, Yesenia Hair (Caviar)
Earrings: Finesmith Jewelry, Optimism Earrings
Prim Nails: CCD, Prim Nail Manicure (white)

Orage Creation New Release - Sexy Rhi

2011-12-03T14:00:00.000Z

Orage Creations by the Italian designer Elettra Gausman has a new release called "Sexy Rhi" which was inspired by a real life dress made by Stella McCartney that was worn by the British R&B vocalist, Rhianna.

It is a very sexy all-lace mermaid gown that is all open on one side revealing the entire body! And the SL version comes with a sculpty skirt prim that works great with photo shoots as well as a flexi prim version which looks better when you need to walk. Here, I am using the sculpty skirt prim.

I matched this with a jewelry set from "Jewelry by Zuri" which is a brand BLVD Agency, where I am CEO, did a show for on the BLVD Agency Runway. This set comes with a choker as well as a chained necklace which can be used together or separately. Here I wore both the choker and the necklace.

For my makeup, I emphasized the eye makeup, using a cats eye eye shadow with pale nude coloured lips for a more couture look.

New Releases from Two Sister Treasures, AZUL and Bliss Couture!

2011-12-02T12:58:00.000Z

Today I am going to introduce a new jewelry set from Two Sister Treasures which is currently sold as part of Edition 12 at the Fan Limited Store for half regular price for a limited number. Aaaaaand, I also have two fantastic releases from AZUL and Bliss Couture!

The first is a jewelry set called "Mostly Dangerous Necklace Set" which is the set that is now on sale in the Fan Limited Store for a promotional price. After the limited number is sold out, it will be sold in the main store of Twin Sister Treasures but the price will go up to its regular price. So if you like it, now is the chance! Run! Run!

This is a very unique set of jewelry that was perfect for the newly released gown from Bliss Couture called "Devine Gown" which I wore in black here. The gold and the green in the jewelry pieces matched the black colour of the gown and I also liked the modern design of the set on a classic lace.

Bliss Couture - Devine Gown in Noir

The next set is a set I found in the main store of Two Sister Treasures called "Butterfly Necklace, Earrings, Bangles and Stone Ring" and I styled this with another amazing gown released by AZUL called "Naomi" which I wore in Onyx colour here. I loved how the relative slender line of the AZUL gown matched with the relatively detailed design of the jewelry set as well as the bright colours.

New Releases from VoguE

2011-11-24T22:34:00.007Z

VoguE has been a brand that is energetically coming up with some fantastic new releases and a brand that I am keeping an eye on. VoguE designer, Zalyn Bailey has also launched her lingerie line as well as some great makeup tattoos this year and is definitely in a big development phase.

So I am going to be introducing 2 of her newest releases today.

One is an absolutely stunning cocktail dress called Alix dress. It's a very elegant dress with a tight fit using lace for the entire outfit. The big ruffled sleeves add glamour and movement to the outfit. The back view is very elegant and yet sexy too with a slit up the center of the skirt.

VoguE - Alix Dress in Onyx

And the next one is a nice winter jacket called Tabitha Fur Jacket. Here I am wearing the silver colour version.

It has that class look and this will be a nice jacket to wear over pants or skirt. As it's sold as a separate, it will be a nice item to have to mix with other outfits. Here I wore it with a cool leather pants from Dela.

The bag I am holding here is not a new release but one I absolutely love and use very often. It comes with a hand-held version shown here as well as a shoulder hung version and I think it's just simply adorable.

An Amazing Circus Collection from Vero Modero!

2011-11-19T15:19:00.000Z

Vero Modero recently released the "Circus Collection" which is an incredible collection that is not only unique but extremely fashionable. I was very impressed with how designer Bouquet Babii took the theme of circus and created high fashion designs that can satisfy the taste buds of SL fashionistas.

The collection is quite extensive with many splendid designs but here I am going to show three out of the collection.

The first is a gown called Eda Gown Circus. It comes with the hat and gloves you see here and I fell in love with this stylish hat and short gloves that really add to this lovely gown. Circus horses are running in a circle atop this lovely hat! How cute! There is also a black version available with the same design.

Vero Modero - Eda Gown Circus

The next is "Vero Modero 'Circus Collection' - Alii Full Red Female".　　This is probably the most circus-like outfit of all the collection having its inspiration from outfits of clowns. But Bouquet managed to turn this into a high fashion creation with an amazing sense of style. This comes in three colour versions, red, red/white and white. I added a mask and a pair of Harlequin Boots from Illusions.

Vero Modero 'Circus Collection' - Alii Full Red Female

And the last is "Vero Modero 'Circus Collection' - Helter Set Orange". This is a more casual mini dress but so fun to wear! The one I am wearing here is the orange version but there is also a red version to choose from.

You can see a lot more in this amazing collection so if you would like to see more, please visit the store and see for yourself what Bouquet has to offer.

Congratulations Bouquet on an amazing collection!

Tres Beau - Venice

2011-11-15T05:20:00.000Z

Tres Beau has a new outfit released called "Venice" which I fell in love with at first sight. I am thinking the name "Venice" came from the Carnival of Venice which had made Venice so famous, where participants wear amazingly artistic masks and costumes. So as you can imagine, this outfit is such a fun outfit to wear and so different from any other outfit I have seen.

Tres Beau - Venice

The outfit itself can be worn as a gown and also as a short mini dress. Here, I wore it as a gown. It comes with gloves that are decorated with rich red ruffles around the wrist as well as the ankle boots you can see here in the picture. Along with that, you also get a simple mask, a mask with feather decoration, a top hat with feathers and a top hat with feathers and a face net from which you can choose what to wear with the outfit.

So not only is it a fun and stunning outfit, it allows for a variety of styling. Here, I wore a mask with feathers but attached a pic of the top hat with feathers and net below. All I had to add was a choker, earrings, and of course hair. The rest was given in the set.

I've never been to the Carnival of Venice myself but this is one carnival I would love to go to. I heard that masks were originally worn so that people could enjoy the carnival without worrying about social status or class. What a wonderful concept! In 2012, the Carnival of Venice will be held on February 4 and 5. I bet you it's too late to book hotels already. *sigh* I'm always too late to act. Maybe 2013?

This outfit is being sold in the Gizza store at Vintage Fair 2011. You can find a map and SURL to all participating brands in this page.

-------------------------------

Gizza just released a fun outfit for both ladies and gentlemen called "Steampunk". Here I am wearing the female version of "Steampunk" that comes with a hat, goggle and even a pair of ankle boots!

So all you really need to complete the look is skin and hair. Of course, you can add earrings but with the ruffle in the front and gloves, you really don't even need any necklace or bracelet.

I loved this colour combination too.

Siryelle's Dream Fashion - Post #2!

I really must have liked this brand and you can see that I indulged myself in a shopping therapy in this store. :P

Here is my first post on this brand which was posted only 4 days ago.

So this is my second post on Siryelle's Dream Fashion and this time it's a lovely dress called "Honey Moon Dress". It's a light and fluffy dress that is so befitting with its name. And I matched it up with a necklace and earrings from another one of my favorite stores, Morantique.

Countdown - Boulevard Promotion

2011-11-06T08:54:00.000Z

"Countdown" is a new store that opened in September of this year and yesterday, it's first branch store was opened in the Best of SL Boulevard. Commemorating this opening, designer and owner, AntoniaXp Resident, released a new outfit called "Boulevard Promotion" that can only be purchased in this branch store.

It's a gorgeous outfit that comes with the hat worn here with a skirt that is made of very light feathers.

The ankle boots I wore here are from B! Fashion where footwear are sold in one area of the store under the brand name, B! Shoes. The red used in this ankle boots was a perfect match to the red used in the dress, which made me very happy.

Head down to Boulevard Ave. now to get this limited outfit!

Siryelle's Dream Fashion

2011-11-03T16:34:00.002Z

I came across a really fab store called Siryelle's Dream which was a store I visited for the first time. The designer, Siryelle Yalin, impressed me a lot with her very delicate designs and lovely texture.

Two new gowns were just released when I visited and I decided to buy one of the new released dresses but also one more that was not a new release but a gown that caught my eyes. The two were so different but both very unique and great designs.

The new release, "Lady Dark", is a boudoir type gown and I absolutely loved this outfit colour. This gown can be worn as a gown or as a lingerie dress with a garter and stockings. What's unusual about this outfit is that it comes with this hair I am wearing here as part of the set.

New Release

Siryelle's Dream Fashion -Lady Dark

And the next one, "Orange Delight Gown", was not a new release but nevertheless a really lovely gown. It comes with a black top and also a matching orange top so you have an option for the top and it also comes with this lovely hat. The flowers you see in the picture are attached to the hat and works as a great accent to this rather simple but impactful gown..

Siryelle also has some lovely boots that match her outfits which, of course, can be used with other dresses so check the store out if you haven't yet!

The necklace and earrings I am wearing here are both from "Fairy Tale" which is a Japanese store that just had a renewal opening of the store. The creator, xxxriexxx Serevi is one of my models in Dione Fashion Agency, but she had been a jewelry creator before she even started to model. This jewelry set is her new release which she prepared for the renewal of her store and also has a matching circlet which I am not wearing here. I loved this very unique design which I thought was perfect for this gown with a modern design.

The Red Look

2011-09-02T03:47:00.001+01:00

I found this really gorgeous red gown with a fantastic texture at a baroque fashion house called Ephemera. Among many lovely baroque gowns, the designer had a few regular gowns which were all very simple compared to her extravagant baroque gowns but all very tastefully made and extremely elegant.

I ended up buying most of the gowns she had and started to style them one by one.

This gown was called "Butter Red" and I am not sure where the name "butter" came from but it was one of the most lovely red gowns I have ever seen.

So I took this skirt and since I wanted a different top, I replaced the top to a corset by KWZ and it turned out to be one of my favorite gown looks.

New Release: GizzA, Tricot Set

2011-08-19T04:52:00.000+01:00

GizzA Creations' newest release is called Tricot Set that comes in four colour variations, Ultramarine, Champagne, Olive and Plume.

Here I am wearing Ultramarine which is a very deep blue that can be better described as a deep cobalt blue rather than navy blue. It looks like it's black here but it is actually a very pretty and very dark blue. It comes with a red leather belt and the red/white scarf with a matching colour corsage.

I decided to style this with a large tote bag and get ready for a fun shopping tour over the weekend. Yay! Retail therapy is always the best!

SoliDea FoliEs　"Rouges" for Fan Limited

2011-08-06T07:04:00.000+01:00

Mila Tatham's brand SoliDea FoliEs has an amazing new release called "Rouges" which was sold as the 7th Edition outfit in the Fan Limited Store.

This store has a very unique system where some of the major brands would release outfits/accessories for a 50% discount over regular prices for one item each over a duration of three weeks. During this period, only 30 of each item will be sold and after that, the items can still be purchased in the respective stores but the prices will go up to regular prices. If the 30 are sold out before the end of the three week period, the vendors will show "SOLD OUT" signs and you will have to wait till the three weeks are up and go to the main store to purchase them at regular prices.

After this three week period, the next Edition sets will be on sale for another three weeks.

SoliDea FoliEs - Rouges

At the time I purchased this outfit at the Fan Limited Store, there were only 3 left but since I bought one, that means there were only two left after my purchase. So maybe they are all sold out by now but you can still buy this at the SoliDea FoliEs store, if you really like it.

For me, this was an outfit I just had to buy. The red used for this outfit was simply so pretty and the design so cute and lovely that I didn't even think twice! The hat you see here comes with the outfit and for a hat lover like me, this outfit was simply irresistable!

If you don't want to miss out on these great bargain, it might be worth subscribing to the subscribe-o-matic by clicking on the poster right behind the sales counter in the Fan Limited Store!

New Release: Mea Culpa, Time Warp

2011-08-02T05:31:00.000+01:00

Mea Culpa has released a new gown called "Time Warp"!

I am assuming the name comes from the head accessory which must be inspired from the shape of a Japanese Kabuto (head gear in Japanese armours worn by the head samurais) in the samurai days.

In contrast to the valiant head accessory, the outfit is a very elegant mermaid gown, making this outfit very appealing and interesting to style.

Meiling - More From The Grand Riviere Collection

2011-07-10T08:37:00.000+01:00

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.

Meiling - White Peony Gown

Meiling's real life Collection seen on the runway during the Caribbean Fashion Week that was held last month.

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

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.

Glitterati by Sapphire - Alisha Coffee

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.

New Release from the Niven Collection - Paint Splash Dress

2011-07-05T00:06:00.000+01:00

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

2011-07-02T09:29:00.000+01:00

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.

Bliss Couture, Aliyeh Gown

One of the new releases at Bliss Couture is the Aliyeh Gown that was released in six lovely colours. I wore this at the BOSL Relay For Life event on Sunday I received so many compliments! Even our male DJ IM'd me saying he thought it was so lovely and that he wanted to give it to his partner (awwwwww how nice of him).

Bliss Couture - Aliyeh Gown (Champagne)

But yes, it was absolutely lovely! So here it is. This colour I am wearing is Champagne which I really love. It is just so elegant!

The hair I am wearing here is also a new release from Bliss Hair which designer and creator Amutey DeCuir made for the Hair Fair.

MEILING - A New Collection

2011-06-27T17:12:00.000+01:00

The real life designer who has crossed the line, MEILING, is coming up with her new collection, "Grand Riviere", which she presented during the Caribbean Fashion Week in real life!

This will be her all white new capsule collection which will be released in SL this summer.

The very first outfit in this collection that has just been released in her Wind Song Dress that was the outfit featured in her promotional poster in real life also.

From Meiling's real life Press Release:

MEILING's Grand Riviere Collection

At Caribbean Fashion Week 2011, Meiling revealed a capsule collection called “Grand Riviere”. Inspired by the idyllic village in the Northern range of Trinidad, the all-white collection is a study in serenity and romance, not unlike the famed Jean Michael Cazabon paintings.

In her inimitable style, Meiling captures the spirit of gentler days gone by with designs that embody the narratives in the Cazabon paintings of the 1800s. Fabrics of light airy cotton voiles recreate the soft breezes wafting across the beaches; mother of pearl button details and signature hand work will be reminiscent of the lush nature of Grand Riviere. As always, the designs will include a subtle sensual vibrancy and unpredictable edgy undertones akin to the ebb and flow of the tides.

Meiling “Grand Riviere” will beckon you to indulge yourself in calm tranquility while ruffling and stimulating your aesthetic sensibility with deceptively effortless designs.

More real life pictures of her "Grand Riviere" collection will be shown in the July issue of the Best of SL Magazine that will be published on July 1!

Two New Releases From Gizza

2011-06-12T01:31:00.000+01:00

Here I have the two most recent releases from Gizza. The first one is called "Wild Attack". This is complete outfit set that includes everything from outfits, scarf, shoes, jewelry and even a turban that will replace hair. Of course, you can use your own items instead of the items in this set to style this but this is a great set when you are feeling lazy or when you don't have much time looking for items.

Gizza - Wild Attack

The next one is a completely different style of outfit and it's called "!O". At first sight, this outfit looks like a mermaid gown but it is actually a body suit with stockings with exaggerated ruffles around the hem of both legs as well as collar.

Very creative and elegant!

I matched this with earrings and a bracelet from the Milano Collection by Morantique. The quality of the chunky jewelry Mo Miasma creates using 3D textures that she creates are amazing and seriously worth a peep in the store.

A New Release from VERO MODERO - Cover Dress

2011-06-04T17:13:00.000+01:00

VERO MODERO has just released a new dress called the Cover Dress in two colour versions; black and cream.

VERO MODERO - Cover Dress Black

Here, I wore the black version and loved it! The lovely cocktail hat I am wearing is part of the set and I reattached it to the right side of my head but the default position is on the left. So depending on your hairstyle, you can rearrange it any way you like.

The red pumps I am wearing is also a very recent release from VERO MODERO which I really loved the deep red colour.

The hair I am using here is a recent release from Exile. I am loving how it flows and how it looks very natural. I think it's the warmer climate but I am very attracted to natural flowing hair recently and this is the second one I post about after my post on 69 Hair. I think these are perfect hair for the summer season!

New Dress Release from Bliss Couture - TWO

2011-06-01T17:10:00.001+01:00

This is the second new release introduction from Bliss Couture.

Another really nice dress release from Bliss Couture is the Amelia Dress. Here I am wearing the black version called Noir. It comes with a mini poncho in lace that covers the shoulders but this can be removed as well is you prefer to accessorize this with a necklace or a scarf. The gloves shown in this picture are included.

This will be a perfect outfit to go to a fashionable club or dancing!

New Dress Release from Bliss Couture - ONE

2011-06-01T00:26:00.003+01:00

I have two really nice releases from Bliss Couture.

As part one, I am going to introduce the Kelleness Dress which will be released very soon, if not already, which is a really sexy and cute outfit. I loved this outfit and ended up wearing this for three days straight during which I received more than several IMs from both people I know as well as passers-by who commented on the outfit saying they loved what I was wearing.

The lace gloves in the pics were included in the set.

I also fell in love with this hair which is a recent release from LeLutka.

Casual Summer Look

2011-05-28T02:08:00.001+01:00

I got this new hair from 69 Hair called Bell 01 that looks really natural and it inspired me to style a nice casual look for the summer season.

I loved this skirt I found in SHINE that was available in some solid colours as well as some patterned textures out of which I chose the Floral 01 style. This soft flared design is something I would love to wear in real life. I matched it with a pair of cute red flats with ankle straps and a straw woven tote bag from glow studio.

Some Releases From Gizza - Part 2 "Breeze Dress [Floral]"

2011-05-24T05:13:00.006+01:00

As part 2 of my Gizza Creations new release posts, I have "Breeze Dress [Floral]". This is a really sweet and lovely dress for the coming summer season and I absolutely fell in love with the texture that Giz uses for these dresses. This will be something I would love to wear in real life for anything casual but styled as well.

Gizza Creations - Breeze Dress [Floral]

It is available in 4 different colours, or maybe I should say prints. Aside from Floral, there is Rosy, Vintage and Zebra where the first two look like colour variations of Floral where as Zebra is a black, white and red modern pattern and looks quite different.

Here I wore Floral together with a pair of red ankle boots that is available at Indyra's Originals. The dress will also match sandals for a more summer look but I wanted to play with the colours in the dress and style it with a twist.

The hair is also a recent release from Bish Wear and comes with a colour changing hair band and feathers that fall on the side. Together with the ankle boots, I think this hair added some fun elements to the dress.

I usually love chunky jewelry sets and this set from je suis allows texture and colour change to all the different parts that comprise the pieces and was such a fun addition to this look.

Outfit: Gizza Creations, Breeze Dress [Floral]

Jewelry set: je suis, Boheme

Ankle boots: Indyra Originals, Coquette Noir Boots, DV-8 Boot 2.0 (Red w/ White laces)

Poses: agapee poses

Some Releases From Gizza - Part 1 "Flower Children II"

2011-05-23T06:43:00.002+01:00

I have two recent releases from Gizza and part 1 is Flower Children II.

The name, Flower Children comes from the hippie fashion that prevailed in the 1960's when the Unites States was involved in the Vietnamese War. The hippie movement started in San Francisco where young people wearing outfits in bright colours often with flower patterns, wore flowers in their hair and handed out flowers to passers by promoting Love & Peace. This later spread to many other cities in the US and these young people were often called the "flower children". This hippie fashion later spread to other countries and became one specific fashion trend.

Gizza - Flower Children II

This outfit by Gizza takes its name from the hippie fashion look it is based on and comes in three different colour variations. I wore the second colour variation in brown/blue colours with a hair that wasn't exactly hippie style but something that looked as innocent and sweet from the Japanese hair store 69 called Olivia 03. The ribbon in this hair is colour change by a menu that drops down when you click on it.

The jewelry set is from ByKay and it is available in three different colour variations. You can also buy a prim nail set that matches the colours of this jewelry set and contains prim nails with and without rings. I love the chunky design of this jewelry set and it is definitely one of my favorites.

The sandals are from Kalnins and comes with a HUD that allows the different parts to change colours as well as the skin and pedicure colour. By specifying colours of each part, you can create your own design and it's really convenient as well as fun.

This is a really fun casual outfit set that is also fun to style!

Outfit set: Gizza, Flower Children II

Hair: 69, Olivia 03, Noir

Jewelry & prim nails: ByKay, Kalya Blue Set

Sandals: Kalnins Shoes, Empress

Resuming My Blog! Yay!! - MEILING, A RL Designer Who's Crossed The Line

2011-05-16T08:54:00.003+01:00

Wow. It's been so long since I last blogged and I am finally resuming my blogging activity! Whoot! The reason why I had to stop blogging was because my graphic card wasn't keeping up with the development in the viewers and every time I tried to take pictures, my screen either froze, turned black or I crashed. After several attempts spending literally hours just to take a few pics, I finally had to give up.

Now I have a new PC, new graphic cards and I'm back to business!

I had also been a bit busy recently as I was helping Meiling launch in SL. Meiling is a very successful real life designer from Trinidad & Tobago who is not only very well known in the Caribbean for her couture designs of real life garments but also known for her innovative and very creative marketing skills. She is probably the only Caribbean designer in SL and brings with her a new trend in this virtual world of very wearable and stylish designs of items we can now buy in this virtual world from her real life collection.

She is very different in the following points, in my opinion.

Meiling's designs have been inspired from the great couture design talents from Japan with its simple yet modern designs but she has added to this, a Caribbean touch, and has created a whole new line of designs that is very unique to Meiling.
She will be following the real life sales method of introducing seasonal collections which will be retired periodically. This means, one collection will only be available until the next collection is out and her designs will not be in the store for a very long time. This is going to be very different from most of the sales direction with SL designers where most of the items will be available for a much longer period of time.
Meiling's designs are SL versions of her real life designs. This means they will all be very realistic rather than SL unique designs with lots of fancy prims.

Today I am introducing one of Meiling's newest releases, the Noir Mystere Dress which was an iconic dress that was actually shown in her RL collection. It is a very simple and yet very stylish and modern design that reflects Meiling's policy as a designer that "outfits are to show the women and not the women showing the outfits".

"Michigan Avenue" - A Winter Jacket From Tres Beau

2010-12-09T11:59:00.009Z

Tres Beau has just introduced the "Michigan Avenue", which is exactly what I wanted for the cold cold winter days. It's a down feather jacket with fur and comes with a matching hat and leggings in two colours. When I first saw it I screamed and said "omg it's so cute!".

Tres Beau - "Michigan Avenue" in pink & white

I am liking it so much that I have been wearing this on and off for the past week and every time I go somewhere, I've been receiving IMs either asking me where I got it from or asking me for a landmark to the store. It's one of those outfits that you just can't miss.

By the way, we made a very pretty winter scenery where I live and I actually took these pictures at home. Doesn't this outfit look so perfect in snow? But as the name suggests, it is actually a very nice city wear that can look really nice strolling down the streets of Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

The one I am wearing is the pink/white jacket and the set comes with both white and pink leggings you can choose that come in both pants and underpants layers. This outfit was released together with matching ankle boots that go with it so perfectly. The boots can be worn separately matching it with jeans or a mini dress with leggings and this alone is a must buy for the winter.

Jacket, hat and leggings: Tres Beau, Michigan Avenue (pink/white)
Boots: Tres Beau, Michigan Avenue Pink/white boots
Hair: Waka & Yuki Hair, Model Hair #25
Earrings: Caroline's Jewelry, Pearl Stud Earrings

Getting Ready For Christmas! - Fellini Couture

2010-12-01T00:26:00.005Z

When I saw the photograph of this new release for Christmas from Fellini Couture on November 24th, I just had to get it! Teddy bears!! So I teleported right away to grab Joy Fellini's new Christmas gown that was simply called Christmas Gown.

Unfortunately, it's becoming very difficult for me to style, takes photographs and post a blog all on the same day but I still love to blog whenever I see something I really like. So it's already 6 days past from the release day but here it is!

Fellini Couture - Christmas Gown

This was the cutest and most glamorous Christmas outfit I had ever seen. It comes with this elaborate head piece with lots of Christmas tree ornaments hanging from it and as you can see in the photographs, it has teddy bears holding presents, more Christmas ornaments and ribbons attached to the skirt part. The teddy bears all wear Christmas caps and they are simply adorable!

Here I wore a different skin than my usual skin from Lionskins. It's one of the skins from the NOVA skin series and I loved how it gives me a very innocent look without looking too childish.

The hair I am wearing is also a new release from Tukinowaguma called Satomi that has a these sharp cut bangs and side hair giving it a very Japanese look. It comes with flower ornaments in several different colours but here I wore it without the flowers. This hair can be a great hair to wear with relatively casual kimonos too (in other words, kimonos that are not Oiran kimonos or any of those elaborate ones).

Yay! I'm all ready for Christmas! All I need are lots of prezzies coming my way. :P

Gown: Fellini Couture, Christmas Gown
Jewelry: Alienbear Design, Silvester White Set
Nails: Candy Nail, #P034 Hime White
Hair: Tukinowaguma Hair Style, Satomi without the flower ornament (ebony)

Styling Items For Only L$10! - auTre for 10th Lurani

2010-11-24T00:48:00.005Z

A very fun store indeed and one you can feel VERY rich is the "auTre for 10th Lurani" where everything in the store is sold for L$10. It's not a big store but have lots of fun items you can choose from, even some makeup tattoos!

auTre for 10th Lurani - Flight Feather

I got this mini dress called Flight Feather there for L$10 and I had a blast styling it. This time, I styled it with green items that had a soft and mellow shade so as not to over power the gray tone of the dress. But you can style this with many other colours too. For example, keep it monotone and use black/white and shades of gray, add some striking red, yellow might look sophisticated too.

It's really these simple items that gets me excited because there is so much possibility!

Here, I used a necklace and earring set from Mandala and a really fun wrist warmer from Kazu Pinklady, both stores owned by Japanese creators. I love the jewelry that kikunosuke Eel makes that always has that unique impact that works great especially with simple outfits because they bring out the best of his creations. These wrist warmers are a great item to have especially around this time of the year too. As you can see, it's also a very fun addition to casual looks that can tranform a plain casual look to something very fashionable.

I was going back and forth between a black/gray pair of shoes and a green pair but in the end, decided to go with this cute green pair of wedge sole pumps from Baiastice. As it blends in with the tights I wore, it didn't distract too much from what goes on above and yet added that cute final touch.

Here I wore this huge hair which was a new release from Vanity Hair, but depending on where I go, I would swap this with something smaller or something more casual. The big hair looked great for pics though.

I must say, I really enjoyed styling for this one. :)

Mini Dress: auTre for 10th Lurani, Flight Feather
Tights: Bourgewhat?, Warm Shiny Tights (olive)
Jewelry: Mandala, Sinra Jewelry Set
Wrist Warmer: Kazu Pinklady, Writst Warmer (black)

A Must For The Coming Season! - Tres Beau "Winter Whites"

2010-10-23T07:33:00.006+01:00

Kimmera Madison of Tres Beau has made another wonderful outfit set, which is a must buy for this coming fall/winter season called Winter Whites. It's a pants suit that comes with a winter jacket and a coat, a fedora and matching gloves that look so warm and stylish that I must confess, I have been wearing this for almost 5 days straight! The set comes in three colours, white, blue and red and here I am wearing the white version.

Tres Beau - Winter Whites

You can change the jacket prim part to make it a long coat and since both the jacket and the coat are made with the jacket layer, you can match it to other outfits you have. The fedora and gloves can also be used quite easily with other outfits you have too and this is why I thought this set is so versatile and a must buy for the coming season.

I loved the colour also as it is a colour better described as "off-white" rather than white and together with the nice texture Kimmera used, it brings on a very soft and elegant image to the entire look.

I matched it with jewelry and shoes in soft brown colours to complement the elegant image of the outfit. I must say, it's not easy to find nice formal jewelry in brown but Virtual Impressions has several sets in pearl that is made in brown also and for this outfit, I chose the Madison Jewelry Set in Chocolate Pearls which consists of a choker part and a long strand of pearls in one necklace.

The Latest Release From B!Fashion

2010-10-18T03:35:00.008+01:00

Barbarella Cioc has come up with yet another wonderful design! It is a lovely outfit called "Bambolina" in fuscia for which she launched a navy blue version also. She also launched a new enamel ankle boots which has a ribbon that comes in various colours. Of course, as usual, she has generously included the boots with fuscia ribbons in the set so the outfit and the ribbon on the boots have exact matching colours.

B!Fashion - Bambolina in Fuscia

Here I am wearing the fuscia version of Bambolina with the ankle boots that was included in the set. The day I was wearing this, I had several people message me asking me where I got the boots that had ribbons that matched the outfit colour so perfectly and I had to confess that it was a no-effort-styling look with the matching boots included! These boots can be purchased separately too and are offered with ribbons in different colours. Being an avid fan of ankle boots both in real life and SL, these were boots I could not pass!

Bambolina can be worn with or without the long skirt that is attached to the back and if worn without, the outfit becomes a very cute cocktail dress with a ruffled skirt. Worn with the long skirt, it becomes a gorgeous gown with the frontal part open to reveal the legs. The long skirt has a layer of lovely black lace under the top layer of silky fuscia and a large ribbon that sits on top of the hip. So when worn, it gives the outfit a very burlesque kind of an image, making this a really fancy and sexy outfit for a party.

Here I wore this dress with hair from Violator, a face tattoo from White Widow and a gorgeous set of black mabe pearl jewelry from Crystal Line where my Japanese model friend Rena Vita creates some lovely jewelry, to add to the playful and burlesque image.

Violator is known for soraya Vaher's unconventional designs and the earlier hair she introduced were so unconventional and wild that it was rather difficult to style them with other designer outfits. But as you can see from this hair, the recent hair she has been introducing can be worn perfectly with other brands and look really good to.

White Widow has become one of my newest favorites with face tattoos* as Julie Hastings, who I had always known as a great photographer, used her photo shop skills to create some of the most feminine and lovely face tattoos you can find. They are very elegant, detailed and comes in various colours you can choose from as well as tattoos that cover both eyes, left eye only and right eye only depending on the design. Here I am wearing the right eye version of Capucine in silver.
*Face tattoos can be worn with SL official Viewer 2 or equivalent third party viewers.

The jewelry set is made with black pearls and black "mabe" pearls. Mabe pearls are basically cultured blister pearls that have grown attached to the shell of the mollusk. They are known for their super size but flat shape making them perfect pearls to be used as pendant tops and brooches. This set also comes as a white pearl version and as in many items made by Japanese jewelry creators, includes non-scripted versions, versions with resize scripts, chokers attached to the spine and ones attached to the chest. It also comes with A type designs that have the gold ring ornament around the mabe pearls and B type designs that don't have this and therefore are just black. So you will be surprised to see the large number of pieces that are included in one set but I love how the creator really thinks of what customers might need. Here, I am using the type A designs.

Outfit: B!Fashion, Bambolina Fucsia
Choker, earrings, ring: Crystal Line, Mabe Pearl Accessory Set
Ankle Boots: Included in the set (but can be purchased separately and in other colours)
Face tattoo: White Widow, Capucine (silver)
Hair: Violator, Rough Attitude (shiny black)

Kunglers "Ellis" - Elegance & Glam In Brown

2010-10-11T06:39:00.006+01:00

Who would have thought that brown could be so glam!

"Ellis" in chocolate by Kunglers Couture was honestly a surprise for me as I always liked brown as one of the colours that could make a very elegant look. The chocolate gown from Kunglers Couture was not only elegant but oh so glamorous as the top layer of the imperial skirt had the right amount of glitter with a hue of blue. The neckline of this gown is decorated with big ruffles that remind me of the ancient gowns, giving this otherwise simple gown a nice balance in terms of top and bottom volume.

Kunglers Couture - Ellis in Chocolate

What I liked most about this gown is the beautiful silhouette it created especially when viewed from the side and back which is why I just had to add one extra pic of the entire gown just so that I could show what I meant.

I just love this silhouette!

The jewelry I am wearing with this gown is from R.A. Crystal, where my very good friend, Rama Anatine, creates some of the most creative jewelry in Second Life. This set is called "Julie Set" in amber and gold which comes with a resizeable necklace, a pair of matching earrings and a hair comb. It is quite rare to see jewelry sets that include a hair comb and I think this set is perfect for those who are looking for something a little different from the usual sets that we see often in Second Life consisting of a necklace, earrings and bracelet.

R.A. Crystal, "Julie Set" in Amber & Gold
and Candy Nail, #P045 Swallowtail in Gold

The gold prim nails are from Candy Nail, another Japanese store that I like very much. Nail art is quite popular in real life Japan and tend to have lots of elaborate decoration just as you see in this one that I am wearing. In real life, people either buy fake nails that they can glue on to their real nails or actually have very long nails on which they get the decoration painted on. I happen to have very long nails in real life and LOVE nail art myself. :)

Outfit: Kunglers Couture, Ellis (chocolate)
Necklace, earrings, hair comb: R.A.Crystal, Julie Set (amber & gold)
Prim nails: Candy Nail, #P045 Swallowtail (gold)
Hair: Bliss Hair, Monica (caviar)

Tres Beau, "Tiffany" - A Dress Made Of Roses

2010-10-09T02:13:00.010+01:00

June had always been the month for weddings but autumn is another good season for those who can't wait till June and it also means you can spend the coming Christmas as a wed couple. :) So I thought I might show a most romantic dress that was just released from Tres Beau Designs and Weddings.

Tres Beau - "Tiffany"

"Tiffany" by Tres Beau is one of the most romantic, sweet and versatile outfits in the current SL fashion. It is not really sold as a wedding gown and it comes with a knee length skirt, a midi length skirt and a long train all made with lots of what looks like flower petals. You have the choice of wearing the skirts with a big pink rose in the back or without and the combination of different skirts make this a dress one that can be worn as a lovely cocktail dress as well as a wedding gown for brides who want something romantic but different from the typical wedding gowns in the market.

Worn with a short skirt

What I loved the most about using this dress for weddings is that the colour is not white. It is "almost" white but has a delicate and subtle pink hue to the shade as you can see in the pics.

Worn with the long skirt

The prim parts are all resizeable including the big pink rose head piece and here, I made it slightly smaller to keep a better balance with the hair I wore. But the impact of this rose is still quite significant and by changing the size as well as the position of the rose, you can arrange it to develop your own style. For example, you can even wear it horizontally positioned over a more avant garde hair style if you prefer a sharper and different look.

Worn with a train

Kimmera Madison, the designer of Tres Beau, is known as one of the most well established designers in SL, having been designing wonderful creations including many stunning wedding gowns since 2004 and the quality of her dresses as well as the attention to details never cease to impress me.

Outfit: Tres Beau Designs and Weddings, Tiffany
Jewelry: Virtual Impressions, Rebecca Jewelry Set in Pearls, Ruby and Diamonts (used earrings only)
Nails: Candy Nail, #P034 Hime in Pink

Unique Designs From Finesmith Jewelry For A Fun Look

2010-10-05T15:46:00.005+01:00

The latest release from Finesmith Jewelry is a very avant garde set called "O Collection 03" which combines gems and metal to create a very unique design. Of course, you don't have to buy all three pieces as a set and you can buy all the pieces separately or use it as a complete set. Here I used all three: necklace, bracelet and earrings but wore only one of the bracelets on one wrist instead of both right and left wrists. The gems are colour change, allowing the set to be used with different coloured outfits.

Finesmith Jewelry - O Collection 03

The jewelry set is really amazing but because of the impact it has, it can clash with a likewise impactful outfit and end up being a bit too much. So I chose to wear something modern and sharp, while not being too "loud".

The boots I chose are from the latest collection from Paper Couture and although these boots do also have some impact, it is far enough from the jewelry pieces not to interfere too much and I like how it adds some fun to the entire look.

The short pants are from Miamai and it comes with a micro short version, a slightly longer version and also a silver underpants layer panty that I am wearing here. Here I am wearing the slightly longer version so you can tell how micro short the short version is!

The theme was a fun club look that I can wear to go dancing. :)

Necklace, bracelet & earrings: Finesmith Jewelry, O Collection 03
Corset: Dreams, Animal Print Corset (cheetah dark black)
Short pants: Miamai, Hotpants 01 (steel)

Focusing On A Favorite Jewelry Piece...

2010-09-12T13:19:00.009+01:00

I love jewelry that add colour which is probably why I tend to prefer jewelry pieces that are not just diamonds. If I need something white, I tend to like pearls more than diamonds because it's less invasive, less "loud", more elegant. BUT there are also times when I want the look to focus on an interesting piece of jewelry.

This was exactly one of those days.

ByKay - Kalya Blue Set

The necklace and earring set from ByKay by Kayleigh McMillan was absolutely lovely. It comes in 3 different colours, blue, green and olive plus a group only colour of red & orange but I instantly fell in love with the one called "Kalya - blue set". The turquoise blue was so pretty, I was inspired to style something that would focus on the necklace and came up with something very simple but stylish.

The sunglasses I am wearing is one of my favorite sunglasses because it looks so real and has a very nice shape. It comes with a HUD that allows you to change the frame colour to three different colours and each frame colour has a set of different coloured lenses that you can choose from. It's surprising that this pair of sunglasses was made by a shoes brand creator, Hays Uriza of Haysuriza.

The high waist of this pants set helps make this look elegant and the black and white tube top has just enough details to not interfere with the necklace. Unfortunately, I just found out today that the store where I got this pants set had just closed. The designer of this outfit, Janie Marlowe, says in her profile that she will open another store with a new brand and a new set up, so I am already looking forward to her future store.

Jewelry: ByKay, Kalya blue set
Pants & tube top set: Mischief Fashions, For Her Pleasure*
Hair band: glow Studio, Midnight Crow Crown (black)
Sunglasses: Haysuriza, Glasses Michelle with HUD
Hair: Pocket Mirror, Ethel Updo (onyx)
Shoes: Maitreya, Slinky Stiletto (black)

*Mischief Fashions regrettably has just closed its doors but the designer says she will be launching a new brand.

Gasqhe - A New Couture Designer

2010-08-13T16:35:00.007+01:00

Recently, there seems to be many new couture designers which I welcome with open arms as they really enrich the depth and fun of fashion in Second Life. One of such designers is Karija Azalee of Gasqhe, which has a line of couture designs that center around gray scale colours.

Gasqhe, Jeynne + Mischief Fashion, Bow Baby Leggings (cocoa)

Her outfits in general have very interesting silhouettes and shapes and because they are relatively simple and mostly in gray scale colours, they tend to be fun items to mix and match with other brands or worn alone to create very simple but sophisticated looks.

Here, I am wearing "Jeynne" which is a cream coloured mini dress and matched it with a cute pair of leggings from Mischief Fashion. I also used a hat from glow Studio instead of a flower hair accessory in the same matching cream colour that came with the outfit, creating a smokey toned look that is both playful and elegant.

Worn with glow Studio, Cloe Hat and I'm Your Present Ring (free gift)

As an accent to the entire look, I wore the "I'm Your Present Ring" also from glow Studio which was a free gift that I absolutely loved. The bright red of the ring broke the entire smokey tone adding some interest to an otherwise very soft look that tended to lack in impact.

2nd Post On Yomeshoujo!

2010-08-09T16:46:00.008+01:00

The links given to Yomeshoujo seems to have been wrong. I don't know why this happened but the coordinates changed on its own after I copy and pasted it. This has now been fixed so the links should take you to the store. I apologize for the inconvenienced caused.

OK...so this is my second post on Yomeshoujo. In the first post which I posted a few days ago, I showed one outfit that was a very creative mini dress that uses a very fun and interesting texture. The second post is another very colourful dress that can be worn in several different styles.

This outfit is called TPCL by Yomeshoujo. It comes with three different types of prim skirts and a chest prim part that you can use selectively to style it differently.

I used the cute nails and earrings from Candy Nails again but this time with the "secret colour" nails and green earrings you can get from the gacha machine (please read my previous post for details about the gacha machines). I also added a bright pair of stockings and shoes to bring out the fun of colours in this look.

The shoes are a recent release from Baiastice that comes in really fun colours and the buttons that are attached to the heel part really make this a cute pair to style with outfits like this one. The stockings I wore was a Christmas gift from Styles of edo that I got last Christmas so unfortunately these are not available now but I am sure you can find similar funky coloured stockings or tights if you want to create a similar look.

Baiastice - Camilla Shoes (acid green)

I should go back to Yomeshoujo now as I've also fallen in love with some of the funky pants she had but didn't want to buy out her store in one visit. I like the fun to last. :P

Yomeshoujo - A Fun And Creative Brand From Japan

2010-08-06T01:25:00.007+01:00

Phew! I hadn't been able to post for so long with so much going on in-world and in RL. >.< But today, I was determined to make a post since I had taken the pics some time ago but never had the time to edit the pics nor to post.

I wanted to introduce a really fun and creative brand from Japan called Yomeshoujo. I am not sure what the name means because "yome" means "wife or better half" and "shoujo" means "maiden or girl". So maybe it means "a very young wife" or "girly wife"? At least that's what it literally means.

Anyway, I wasn't going to make a post about its name. I wanted to introduce this brand because it is a very different type store from any Japanese brand you might know nor is it similar to any non-Japanese brand. It is indeed a store with very unique but lovely outfits that are really fun to style. I have pics for two outfits so I will make two posts about Yomeshoujo in a row.

The first one is called AnLi. The silhouette and shape of the outfit is very unique but so are the colours used and I just love the creativity of designer, youki Cioc. youki's designs are just so colourful and the moment you tp to her store and things start to rez, you will be surprised to see the explosion of colours that somehow create a very unique "youki world".

Yomeshoujo - AnLi

I accessorized this fun outfit with earrings and matching prim nails I got from Candy Nail. These are not on sale in vendor but they were prizes for gacha gacha, which are like bubble gum vending machines but instead of bubble gum, they contain plastic balls with small items inside. There are pretty big in RL Japan too! At Candy Nail, there were two gacha machines, one for earrings and one for prim nails.

The prices are usually quite low but the catch is that you can't choose which item you will get. In other words, in this case, there were seven colours and one secret colour each for both the earring gacha and the prim nails gacha. So if you tried to get matching colours, you might end up with lots of blue earrings or red nails, for example. But I must say, it was fun and the cute candy coloured earrings and prim nails were worth trying my luck with a little investment.

The eighth secret colour, by the way, was a multi-coloured pair of earrings and prim nails! Too cute!

Mini Dress: Yomeshoujo, AnLi
Shoes: Stiletto Moody, Bare Robin (Wild Set), Kaleido 1 colour
Hair: Tukinowaguma, Kara A (ebony)
Earrings: Candy Nail, #GACHA Toy Pierces 07 Purple
Prim Nails: Candy Nail, #GACHA Toy Nail 07 Purple

QUEENS - Katerina: An Impressive Gown

2010-06-14T15:35:00.005+01:00

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.

Gown: QUEENS, Katerina
Jewelry: Virtual Impressions, Cheryl Jewelry Set in Platinum & Diamonds
Nails: Candy Nail, #P006 Long Nails Red

Mixing and Matching

2010-06-09T17:46:00.005+01:00

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

As you may already know, the designers who are supporting our Project Tents effort to collect funds to purchase special tents that will be sent to Haiti have created special exclusive items that can only be purchased at their vendors in the Project Tents sim which will be opened until May 30.

This is one of the two exclusives Applonia Criss made for Haiti worn together with the exclusive jewelry set that is also being sold in her tent. The Waterfall Dress and the Toro Tora Jewelry Set.

The dress is a very simple form but the colours used and the texture make it so special and the jewelry set is a must with perfectly matching colours. The two create such a lovely and cool look for summer parties.

And remember.....75% of everything you buy here will be sent to the Haiti fund. Let's try to send as many tents as we can before the monsoon season hits Haiti! Read more about this project here.

Smart Casual With A New Release From R.A. Crystal

2010-05-23T15:03:00.004+01:00

A Japanese jewelry store, R.A. Crystal has just released a new set of jewelry called "Coin Set." Rama Anatine, creator and owner of R.A. Crystal said "I made a set that I wanted to have myself in real life. I wanted something that's not gaudy. Something that's subtle and casual but still elegant".

And she made exactly that.

R.A. Crystal - Coin Set

So I decided to style myself centering around this set. It had to be casual and yet elegant and what I arrived at was an elegant pants style based on colours that compliment this jewelry set. However, colours such as white and sand colour, or light brown, tend to make the entire look rather sleepy. In order to add a bit of crispness, I decided to add black and white for my shoes and purse. The B&W pair of shoes from Nardcotix and purse from +plus* I had in my inventory were perfect for this purpose.

To finish off this style, I added a fedora hat from Couture Chapeau and a newly released hair from 69, another Japanese store. This hair is a loosely braided hair that is casual yet very feminine and worked well to add some elegance to the entire look. Usually I wear black hair but in order to match the overall brown/beige look, I used a colour called Chestnut which is a dark brown with a shade of red. I plain brown would have made the entire look a bit sleepy too, so this tad of red helped to bring some life into the look also.

This hair from 69 uses a very unique colour selection system which is great for people who are worried about the ever growing number of inventory. The fat pack comes with several hair that is divided into the main tone such as reds, blacks blonds and so forth. When you wear the object, instead of a hair on your skull, you will see a HUD on your screen with a graphic of the hair style and shade choices. You then click on the shade you wish to wear and the hair shade of your choice will be delivered to you in a folder. In other words, you can delete the entire folder after use and have a new set delivered every time you want to wear it so what you have in your inventory will always be just the HUD sets. What a fantastic idea for people like me who just seem to fail so miserably in keeping the inventory numbers low!

Shirt: ce cubic effect, Shirt H6 (off white)
Pants: ce cubic effect, Flare Trousers (cocoa)
Jewelry: R.A. Crystal, Coin Set
Gloves: Mentine, Soft Leather Gloves (honey)
Hat: Couture Chapeau, Bogie Fedora (white)
Purse: +plus*, White Capitone Bag
Shoes: Nardcotix, Nuria B&W
Hair: 69, Me (chestnut)

PRESS RELEASE from May 19, 2010
RE: “Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo” organized by Project Tents and Peace Train Charitable Trust for ShelterBox – May 21st through May 30th, 2010.

Over four months ago a devastating 7.0 earthquake hit the country of Haiti just outside the capital of Port-au-Prince. Four months seems like a lifetime ago, so many other natural occurrences have impacted citizens of the world since then, but the work in Haiti has only just begun. The May 24th issue of Time Magazine reports concerns that living conditions in Haiti are getting worse with the storm season now upon the region. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians still are without any permanent shelter, their only protection from the elements are makeshift tents created from materials found in the rubble. Without a solid base to these structures, many Haitians go to sleep at night in extremely damp surroundings sometime unable to escape pools of water left by the torrential rains. Relief organizations are working as fast as they can to provide permanent shelter but it may be years until any normalcy is brought back to Haiti.

This is why Project Tents along with the Peace Train Charitable Trust is honored to announce and bring to Second Life the Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo, a fund-raising event for ShelterBox. ShelterBox is a recognized international fund-raising organization that provides quality shelters for those displaced by disasters. The shelters, provided for those displaced in Haiti, are quality tents that can fit up to 10 people each and are built to withstand extreme temperatures, high winds and heavy rainfall. These are only temporary homes but are safe & reliable until permanent homes are completed.

With the National Hurricane Center in the US predicting an active Atlantic Hurricane season and Haiti being right in the middle of ‘Hurricane Alley’, finding reliable shelters is extremely important and why we are excited to organize this fund-raising event for ShelterBox.

Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo, is a benefit exposition featuring members of Second Life’s fashion industry, created by Project Tents, a non-profit group in-world group of models and designers in Second Life. The exposition will feature creations of many of top designers of Second Life fashion, as well as musical performances sponsored in cooperation with the Peace Train Charitable Trust. We, the members of Project Tents, want to first thank you for your support and any donations we may receive to our fundraiser to benefit the people of Haiti. Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo will open May 21st and run through May 30th (See SLURL links listed below). All of the designers will be offering exclusive and limited edition items which will only be available at the expo.

Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo opens 10am SLT on May 21st

10am: Opening remarks from Cotton Thorne of Peace Train and Alan Monroe, Communications Manager, Shelterbox USA
11am: Live from Japan GaGo
12pm: Singer Tamra Sands as the Expo Vendors open to the public

We are honored to have many of the top designers in SL involved with this project including:

Aimesi, Angel Dessous, ABJ – Aurora Borealis Jewelry, AZUL, Bamboo Soup, Baubles Boho Jewelry, BELLISSIMA!, Body Talking, C’est Moi! Boutique, Callie Cline, Di’s Shape Design, DmD Poses, Ear Candy, Essential Soul, Faster Pussycat, Fellini Couture, FK Virtues, Gabriel, MiDis, Moonbeam Fashions, PRISM, Premiere Modelling Agency, R.A. Crystal, Shiki, , Tres Beau, Tukinowaguma Hair Style, U&R DOGS, Vamp Shoes, wonderkids, W&Y Hair

Vintage Beauty

2010-04-22T16:07:00.005+01:00

Vintage designs have its own place in fashion. They used to be the leading the trends of the times be it the 20's, 30's or 50's but now, since they fall out of the "current trend" they have become "timeless." In other words, they have won their own place in fashion.

I have a love for timeless fashion. Especially when it comes to elegance, the haute couture fashion in the old days had a touch of elegance that, in my mind, no other fashion can even try to compete.

So naturally, I have a huge inventory of vintage fashion and wear them from time to time. Sonatta Morales is one of the stores I love dearly and it's one of the stores I pay regular visits to whenever I have a craving for retail therapy. In other words, even when I am not on a mission to find particular items for a certain styling project I have, I would just drop by to satisfy my craving.

Today I wore "Arabesque", a lovely delicate outfit using lots of lace. Hats are also a must item for vintage fashion and the outfit sets that have hats included also serve as my source of hat collection. I often use only the hats to match with other outfits when I want that vintage feel to the look.

The jewelry I wore here is the "Cupid Set" from R.A.Crystal, a Japanese jewelry store with Rama Anatime as the creator. What I like about Rama's collection is that she always includes two sets of the same necklace with one attaching to the spine and another attaching to the chest. I often have to reattach necklaces if they interfere with other outfit parts but it saves a lot of time with her sets because I can just select the one that doesn't interfere. It's a little thought that goes a long way.
