Shoots With Elysium Eilde

Recently I joined a Material Squirrel poster shoot with Elysium Eilde. And the resulting pics were posted on her flickr page. Once they are up on her flickr, it means that we can download them from there.

So here they are.

The first two are in-store posters for Material Squirrel.

A Cool Rider's Jacket For Ladies

My regular readers will know by now that I LOVE rider's jackets in RL and in SL. These are one item I cannot go without buying if I see a cool one on the market. So....here I go again!

I found a cool rider's jacket designed for ladies from a store called "B11" in Japan. It seems Japanese stores tend to have lots of nice rider's jackets which is quite understandable with all the motorcycles in Japan. Most of the popular motorcycles companies such as Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki are all Japanese companies. So go figure.

There were several colour variations including the usual black and also one in a leopard pattern which did, I must say, intrigued me as it was different. But I still wanted it to look like a rider's jacket and a leopard skin pattern was just a bit too "girly" for my ideal of what rider's jackets should look like so I settled for a red one, which, surprisingly was my very first red! It was still different from the ones I have as most of them were black.

This jacket is a very slender jacket that could be worn easily even with skirts. In fact, I like wearing these leather jackets with skirts...which reminds me, I must try that styling here sometime. But for today, I went in a very "conservative" direction wearing the jacket with a pair of leather pants from DeLa.

If you are looking for cool leather pants, DeLa is a good place to start as these pants come in eight colour variations which is quite unusual for leather pants. These eight are also divided up into four each to form two sets of fat packs for those who embrace a great love for leathers. This one I wore is "silver" although it does look black. The one labelled "black" has a much darker black colour. I could have gone with that one too but I thought this silver one will give me a slightly softer look compared to a bold red + black.

This time, I wanted to wear the jacket more as a fashion item rather than for a look that was more appropriate for practical riding so I matched it with black boots from Shiny Things that has some heels but without wearing the calf prims. This way, I won't have to worry about my boot prims coming out of my pants while it still looks like I am wearing boots.

I received some nice compliments in this look........so I guess I will just keep on increasing my rider's jacket collection. *sighs*

Classic Designs From The Golden Ages

A model friend of mine gave me a lead to an awesome store called "Sonatta Morales Atelier de Couture." I have to admit, I had not known this store and I feel almost ashamed that I hadn't as it was full of classic designs from the 1930's to 1960's. The days of Greta Garbo and Grace Kelly....the Golden Ages of Hollywood.

Sonatta Moreles, the designer behind all the stunning designs says her designs were influenced by her childhood when cinema was very important and she had watched all the movies with these elegant actresses who were not only elegant but had a flare of sexiness and glam.

Instead of my usual blog style where I pick up one outfit and show details, I decided to show three outfits to show the kind of outfits I am talking about. She also has lovely gowns so I will take them up gradually in my usual style.

The first one is called "Tulip." I am sure the name comes from the tulip petal like prim piece that is attached to the waist, giving this outfit an interesting spin to an otherwise very simple black dress. It is accompanied by a matching hat, gloves and matching pair of shoes using the same texture. The elegance of this simple piece is almost beyond my ability to explain.

Sonatta Morales - Tulip

The next outfit is called "Bentley." It also comes with matching hat, gloves and shoes using the same texture and has a jacket you can take off to reveal a sleeveless top with a bow tied at the neck and the back of this top is bare.

There was two versions of the same hat in the set. One with a classic looking hair and also one without hair. I am sure many of you have had the experience of having to find the right hair to wear with a hat, or having to edit hair prim by prim to hide all the prim pieces that stick out of the hat. With this, you won't have to worry about any of that and still wear your favorite hair if you had one that matches.

Sonatta Morales - Bentley

The last outfit is called "Opium." It is a sleek black dress with fur around the neck, covering the shoulders. This outfit comes with a small and elegant hat with net covering the entire face with bright orange butterflies attached as effective ornaments. This set comes with a hat including the net, a pair of black stockings with a tiny butterfly on one ankle, gloves and all the butterfly attachments to complete the look.

In case you want classic looking hair styeles this shop also has some hair that perfectly matches the styles of these times. In the next picture, I am wearing one of those hair that I found in her store. The outfit does not come with shoes but with this outfit, matching shoes will not be a problem as you can simply wear nice black pumps to complete the classic look.

A New Release From Azul

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.

ALB Dream Fashion - DIOR Impression Cloud

The other day I posted about AnaLee Balut's DIOR Impression Flower Set, which was a lovely pink gown in the Runway magazine blog. Today, I have one from the same series but this time, it's a set called DIOR Impression Cloud. A dainty white gown with a touch of smokey lilac and a hem that's not as long as a full gown makes this a somewhat nostalgic piece. As I said in my previous post, gowns in this series by AnaLee are all inspired by the great designs of DIOR but each one is different and that's what makes it so interesting.

It was such a tough decision to choose which one I wanted with so many lovely gowns to choose from and I had the toughest time. After lingering around for so long, I finally decided to get two, which was the Flower gown and this Cloud. I liked the nostalgic feel this dress had while still good for any party.

The Chi Chi Pumps in cream colour from Maiiki Maitreya were a perfect match with its off white colour and smokey lilac trimmings. It was almost as if these shoes were made for this dress.

I also wore some sweet flower jewelry also from ALB Dream Fashion since I didn't think gorgeous gems will suit this dress and I wanted to play up on its dainty image.

Japan, Japan, Japan..A Sweet Casual Look

"MeteoRain" is a Japanese brand with two small stores. Designer, songe Lunasea, is currently planning to open a main store this month in March and at the same time launch new products but until then, her stores remain these two that cannot be directly reached by landmarks which makes it a little difficult to access. She still only has a few items but what she has is very good quality and I am looking forward to seeing her new designs and new main store.

One of her creations is this hoodie that comes in 5 colour variations and it can be worn by both male and female avatars. I have matched it with a sweet short denim pants and fun socks from sey and a white pair of moccasin boots from 69. The cap is also from Japan. "Argrace" is an already fairly well-known store among the non-Japanese SL residents as one that has quality items in not only clothing but hair and even furniture. The cap comes with the hair and Argrace has different hair as well as cap designs, again for both male and female avatars.

So today, I am wearing Japanese designer creations literally from head to toe. I must admit that there are very few good gown designers in Japan, but when it comes to casual outfits, they are so good with texture as well as detail. They also have some very fun items for mixing and matching too.

And this it today's casual look all from Japan.
