A Gown Called "Fierce"

Journey McLaglen, the designer for Prism Haute Couture, has just released a new gown called "Fierce." Unlike the image you get from this name, the gown is nothing but stunning, amazing, eye-catching AND one of the most elegant gowns I have seen.

Prism Haute Couture - Fierce

Yes it is "fierce" in that the texture pattern is of a zebra and panther, all in black and white. The zebra pattern is used on the left of the entire gown while the panther is used on the right and the two mesh with each other in the center in what is like a zig-zag form. Then gown itself has a very simple silhouette with the hem of the skirt being longer on one side.




This is a gown that looks awesome standing still as well as with movement as you see the soft flexi prims of the skirt bounce and twirl as you move. Since I have worn this, I have had two people IM me about the gown in just an hour, which does not happen that often, and also had a photographer comment how gorgeous the gown was.

I can simply say, you get noticed in this gown!




I used this hair from a Japanese hair designer, ADKing Aeon of 'Glitter', called Lala. This was one updo that was similarly both fierce as well as elegant that matched the image of this gown so perfectly. I just could not see myself wearing a regular updo as the gown had so much impact that any regular updo will just be too boring.

On the other hand, I didn't wear much jewelry with this as both the whole texture and the zig-zag pattern in the front and back had enough impact that adding anything more to this would be an insult to this great design. So I simply added some drop type pearl earrings and that was enough.



Black and white outfits usually can look quite stunning when a little bit of 'red' is added. So here I wore a new Candace Skin with deep red lips from Genesis and also a pair of black high heels from Digit Darkes that has bright red soles. This is quite effective as you can see glimpse of red through the skirt as you walk. A subtle but elegant way of adding red without spoiling the design. Needless to say, nails should be red too.

New Releases For Your Spring Wardrobe

Spring is here and it's time to pull out some spring fashion and send the coats to the dry cleaners, although I have yet to find a dry cleaning service in Second Life.

So today, I am introducing some lovely new releases that are not only reasonably priced but also great adds to anybody's spring wardrobe.





The first one is a tight mini dress from Prism Haute Couture Clothing called "Musique Bandage Dress by Journey." Journey McLaglen, the designer for this brand did such a wonderful job with the colour selection of this mini dress. The form itself is very simple, which allows the lovely colours used to be emphasized and I seriously have no words to praise her for her taste in colours. In spite of the numbers of colours she has used, no one colour stands out and they all blend beautifully into this spring creation. Kudos to the designer also for the great work she has done to match the seams and prim parts. Again, inspite of using so many colours and in horizontal lines, the sides and the lines in the prim part match beautifully and I admire the patience she had to get this right to this high quality level.



The next new release is a preview of the "Glam Tote Bag" from +plus*. Helena Compton had always been one of my favorite designers of accessories ever since I started blogging and she will be coming up with a miriad of colours with a new bag for those people who want that 'spice' added to their fashion to make a difference.

Here, I am holding the olive coloured bag but as always, the quality of her bags and accessories are worth checking out if you haven't yet. Being a graphic designer in RL, Helena's creations are always a great addition that I rely heavily on for my own styling needs and I am happy to introduce this new tote bag she will be releasing very soon.



And last but not least, another of my all time favorites in brands, Petal Meg. The colours in Fuscia Jewell's new release "Hydrangea Tied Lariat" was perfect to add as a piece of jewelry to this spring look. I love to use her flower petal jewelry when I want some colours and also when I don't want to use 'heavy' items such as gems or metal pieces and today's fashion was exactly that.

Fuscia actually uses flower petals covered in resin to create these lovely and sweet creations in real life and she sells the same jewelry in SL as well as RL. I also have some of her real creations in RL and it is not just such a lovely jewelry to own, it is such joy to think that I own the same items as my avatar in SL!! If you are interested, you can buy her RL items in her Petal Meg Website which is where I got mine too. She will ship them to all areas of the globe so this is another thing worth checking out for your RL spring wardrobe as well.
