Mami Jewell of "azul" has just released a new gown called Mia. It is an elegant gown that has a very wide black ribbon that composes the bodice of the gown and tied in a very big and soft ribbon at the front. The colours are arranged into what seems like a graduation with the colour becoming darker at the skirt but more vibrant at the top, creating an interesting look to an otherwise very simple design. The skirt is soft and voluminous while it is cropped short at the front revealing the legs. I found this gown to be great for dancing as you can still be in a formal gown while your legs will be revealed as if you were wearing a short cocktail dress.
I matched this gown with a very unusual coloured hair. I tried my usual black, but with a navy coloured dress, I wanted a bit more colour to the entire look. This is a colour called "pink brown" and it is a colour that is only available if you purchased a fat pack of the Kay ver2 hair at R's Hair Style. Usually pink hair will be too childish or only good for fantasy looks but this one, because of the shade of brown in the pink, was good for any style with a touch of difference.
Choice of shoes will be important with this gown so I couldn't just slap on a pair of "same coloured pumps" that you can't even see anyway. I chose Stiletto Moody's Bare series sandals to emphasize the bare legs in this look.

I came across this store called La Dulce Vida the other day and found some really nice things that I liked very very much. In one word,the designer of La Dulce Vida, romi Dagostinohas lots of colours as well as chic colours, formal gowns as well as more casual wear. I got one formal wear and also something more casual but for today, I wanted to post about the casual one, Judith.
It's basically a two piece comprised of a top and skirt set. But the top comes in two layers. A shirt layer that is basically a simply black sleaveless shirt and an all lace jacket that is worn over the black shirt. The black colour that is worn underneath will come through the lace worn as a jacket and the whole top looks like a black and white lace top with LOTS of frills (yes I LOVE frills!!). The skirt is a tight black mini skirt, which contrasts with the very feminine looking white top. I love this combination of two contrasting pieces of clothing to make a very nice look that is well balanced.
I wanted shoes that didn't look very chunky with this so I wore Stiletto Moody's Audrey which is a sleek pair of super high heel sandals with nicely shaped "toes" for avatars. I wore black pedicure as well as black nail polish to create a complete black and white look. With this sandal, the skin colour of the feet part has to be matched with the rest of the leg in order for them to look good. Although basic stin tones such as fair, tan, etc., are provided that can be chosen with a menu, you do need to use the custom colour adjustment that is also available in order to get the right skin tone. This process is a pain to be honest but once you find the right skin tone, you can save the shade in user slots available in the menu.
This hair is from a Japanese store called fascino. Recently I've been intrigued by the many small hair stores that may not have a wide variety but I get excitement out of finding jewel pieces among them. This store was one that a model friend, Tabata Jewell gave me a lead to and I found many hair that I liked. (Thank you, Tabata!) And to add to the joy, the creator, Sola Meili, was planning a rennovation of her store and had all her hair knocked down in prices to 50% over the entire store. :D At the time this was written, it was still ongoing so it may be worth checking the place out now.

Kay Fairey- At this point, I thought it might be worthwile, clarifying my policy as a "blogger." Although I would not decline review samples from designers, I maintain a policy of acquiring my own items to blog about. In other words, to purchase myself. This is for two reasons; one, to maintain my neutrality and to be able to blog what I "like" rather than what I was "given" and two, to be fair to the talented designers and creators who spend hours creating the items that give me such pleasure and enjoyment in SL. I would also like to thank the readers of my blog. Without them, my work means nothing.
