Wiccattitude with HelaMiyo!

Pose: HelaMiyo – “Wiccattitude” set

When I saw HelaMiyo has a “Wiccattitude” pose set.. certainly I had to play with it and make some pictures ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you like the more edgy and unusual posesย  and as well love the option of a mirrored version of your pose… then you should take a closer look at HelaMiyo. I got one of my first picture pose set from HelaMiyo and since back then Miyoko Magic never disappointed with new and exciting pose sets!

Pose: HelaMiyo – “Wiccattitude” set

It is always exciting and as well a huge honor if you have products named after you in Second Life, and when Miyoko Magic – owner and designer of HelaMiyo – even mentioned she thought about me when she was trying to find a name for her new pose set, I was completely blown away and certainly had to make a post about it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Like I mentioned before, mostly we all use poses for each and every picture we do. We kinda see poses as matter of course and rarely think about all the work and effort each single pose needs to become real for SL. I often catch myself, to just use poses and not looking at the brand it was made from or even the name which sometimes as well says something about a pose set, for example a special purpose. That is why I made it as a task for myself for 2018 to have more pose centered posts or pose studies, to just do justice to all the amazing pose creators in Second Life, who make all our amazing pictures possible.

The “Wiccattitude” set is a very energetic one, which can be used in many different ways. You can even turn around the poses and use them laying or even 180ยฐ vertical twisted with many different angles to shoot from. Yes, I have to admit I love not just shooting but playing with poses as well, even if they are completely working out different as intended sometimes ๐Ÿ˜‰

Pose: HelaMiyo – “Wiccattitude” set

If you do a shooting focused on poses, the question of the clothing and accessories is not always easy as you want the most flexibility for all kind of movements. I love to use skin tight clothing and look for even those posts the most. This time I started with the boots. The stunning “Syberia” boots from UTOPIA@DESIGN. I have a love for overknee boots, but for many looks you can’t wear them especially if long mesh pants are involved. 99% the pants stick through the boots except if you wear applier pants.

Speaking of appliers, the awesome “Cozy Tights” I am wearing are from .:Avanti:. and I love the details she puts on her fabrics and designs as well as her awesome ideas for appliers.

Pose: HelaMiyo – “Wiccattitude” set

The amazing outfit was made by Salt & Pepper. Originally the “Teisha” was released on We โ™ฅ RP in December but I am sure you can find it in the main store now. I chose to go with the silver/black option for the outfit, that even includes the cool headpiece, that I used instead of wearing hair. On the HUD for the outfit you will find black and white for the shirt color and 5 different metals (black, silver, rose-gold, light gold and gold) for the body suit and the hair part. The outfit as well contains boots with those 5 color, which I did not wear for todays post.

Happy New Year 2018!

Contrast – Black & Silver against Red

blacklace-agapee-1

Again Blacklace released an amazing ensemble of panties, bra, stockings, garter belt and this time even boots!

With my addiction for over knee boots I could not pass that one ๐Ÿ˜‰

blacklace-agapee-5

Again I tried to think about something to mix and match lingerie with something else to not again have a typical lingerie post (even if i will have soon one like that again since Blacklace does release so many amazing things *grins*)

When I was looking through my inventory what I could use today, a box was thrown against my head. Sora Tatham – owner and designer for agapee – a long time friend of mine sent me her newest release. The “Kelly Shirt” by agapee was the perfect addition to the “Anita” set from Blacklace.

With the open, loosely wrapped down front it was perfect for showcasing lingerie and the length was just right to let the garters peeking out under it :p

blacklace-agapee-3

I love several kinds of contrasts and so I thought about something black and silver highlighted just with one color, which I wanted to put on the lips, the hair and the nails.

Contrasts can be done in so many ways. colors, opposite things, things that do not belong together at all usually…and so many more.

The way how the comic Sin City is done always inspires me, when it comes to highlights and contrasts in colors.

blacklace-agapee-4

So for the hair I chose the “No.Case” hairstyle from no.match. In a red shade it was just perfect to the light red lip gloss and the red finger nails from Nailed It.

The scenery again was built mainly with designs from E.V.E Studio. The awesome “Ivy Trees M02” paired with parts of the “Broken Chains” set, that as well includes the amazing choker with the long chains in the back of the neck.

All the poses I used for this post come from Del May. I really do enjoy their unusual poses and I rarely found a pose store, that has those kind of poses before.. but a few days ago… I found another! Not yet saying which one, but soon I will have a post about it, I promise ๐Ÿ˜‰

LOTD 12/12/2014 – Featuring GizzA & EMO-tions

Gizza 001

Today I had another shift at GizzA and I went through all those fantastic new releases I got lately.

So many new and amazing things and I had a hard time to decide what to wear today ๐Ÿ™‚

Finally my decision fell onย  the “Spiked Bodysuit” in silver from GizzA. The suit comes together with the amazing overknee boots and is as well available in gold and black. Even if I love black most of the time today the silver one kinda talked to me more ๐Ÿ˜‰ So I started with the “Spiked Bodysuit” and it’s awesome high boots. For the jewelry, I as well used something made by GizzA as the colors went so perfect with the suit and underlined the metal character ofย  the whole look.

The “Chained Treasure Set” contains necklace (2 parts) and 2 bracelets. For this post I only used one part of the necklace wich can be used alone perfectly as well.

For the hair I used one of the newer ones frm EMO-tions. The “Brandy” hair might not be the common choice for that kind of look but with the kinda clean look and still the cool braids made the perfect look for my mood today ๐Ÿ™‚ What i liked the most is that this special hairstyle has as well a special hairbase to it wich features the braids in a very realistic way.

For the makeup I wanted something simple day style looking so I went with one of my favourite makeup artists, L.Faune. The “Twotone Makeup” in siver-warm-gray and the “Natural 2” lipstick underlined the metal look just perfect ๐Ÿ™‚

Violator has a new Prรชt-ร -porter line!

Violator  - Pretaporter Black Gold

Incredible news at Violator! Soraya Vaher created a new line for Violator, a Prรชt-ร -porter collection. The idea behind that was, to have something that can be worn as part of the everyday wardrobe, for an affordable prize but still with the well known luxury that Violator offers for all their creations.

The new collection is named “Budget Chic – More for Less” and it offers some really amazing designs in different colors, always combined with gold or silver.

For todays post I decided to stay to black and showcase one black & gold and one black & silver look.

The first one you can see above is the amazing “Scherhazade” jumpsuit. The trendy wide pants together with the sexy top that shows a lot of clevage really lets every lady shine. The amazing jumpsuit is a one part mesh design and makes it easy to just put it on and look amazing ๐Ÿ˜‰

To finish the look I added one of the newest releases of Finesmith, the “Diamond” set. I was able to change the textures of all parts with a menu to match the “Schehazade” jumpsiot perfectty and the necklace that goes up on the right shoulder underlined the luxury of the whole styling.

Violator  - Pretaporter Black Gold silver boots

The matching shoes as well are part of the new “Budget Chic” collection. Soraya made them matching to each color and metal variation she created for the new line. Since I decided to go black and just exchange the gold for the silver, I only have the black version of the “Pride” stilettos shown in this post ๐Ÿ˜‰ The spikes make a wonderful edge to the black ankle boots and the silver and gold decorations bring back the metal parts of the style in an awesome way.

The second look is put together of 2 different parts of the new “Budget Chic” collection. The “Candy” skirt and the “Passion” jacket.

The “Passion” jacket is an open mesh jacket ornamented with a wonderful silver texture and at the neck you have an amazing flower part that goes up on the left shoulder. The “Candy” skirt repeats the silver texture and is decorated with an amazing ruffled bow in the front. The two little slits at the upper thighs ad again a very sexy touch.

I only added the “Diamond” earrings of the same set I was wearing before just textured a little different, to match the silver parts of the outfit, fishnet stockings and a tie I found at Redgrave as part of a top.

So do not wait and TP over to the Violator Mainstore and see all the amazing colors and styles of the new “Budget Chic” colletion and enjoy all the new designs without getting broke ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mesh News at E-Clipse!

A few days ago, Thetra Blackheart, owner and designer of E-Clipse, went into my IMs and told me she had a new outfit ready that might be my groove and she asked me if I maybe could do some pics of it for her. I was very curious about her newest designs because I always liked her fresh and modern style and ideas. I went home and unpacked the box she sent me and I got big eyes. She created a wonderful new mesh dress with matching overknee boots in 4 great, different colors and all made with the new mesh technique.

I tried to style in different types to show the wide range you can wear this amazing new “Triste” dress of E-Clipse. With all the colors and the different styling possibilities the “Triste” dress already is worth the trip to the E-Clipse Mainstore and you can see what else Thetra has new there ๐Ÿ˜‰

Awesome Mesh News from Violator!!!

Today I have the pleasure,ย  to showcase the latest release of Violator. “Di Vernice”, a wonderful gown with a combination of mesh and prims parts. This elegant gown again shows the awesome skills of soraya Vaher, owner and designer of Violator. She can combine the most different pats and fabrics and she makes it look artistic and very high fashion.

This time she made this awesome sexy and as well very elegant dress of vinyl. A very difficult texture to make and to work with I was told. The lights and shadows are so amazing set that you can see the fabric shine and reflect the light in an awesome way. The bottom part of the dress is opened at the sides and shows the long sexy legs of every fashionista.ย  The skirt is made of wonderful flexible prims and the top part with the short skirt is made with the new mesh technique. Soraya included 5 different sites of the mesh part so that you can find the right one for your shape. If you take a closer look on the jewelry parts that decorate the skirt, they are part of the “Di Vernice” as well. A beautiful platinum rank that goes up till your waist where it is connected to the belt. The incredible “Di Vernice”, here shown in black/platin as well is available in 3 more stunning colors like black/gold, red/gold and purple/gold at the Violator Mainstore.

The wonderful eyepiece as well is part of the outfit and brings back the skirt decoration in a beautiful way around the eyes. The eye decoration really adds some extra elegance again to the wonderful “Di Vernice” dress.

To complete the look I just added earrings from Finesmith and hair from a very new but super cool store… Urban Lutz. The creative head behind Urban Lutz is Taylor Wassep. She only features black and blond hairstyles. “Lotus” is one of her latest releases.

Fur News at Egoisme!!!

Egoisme starts the year with great releases. One of the latest ones was the awesome “Fur Coat”, here shown in the light brown version. Fur is a theme for it self and I was told not that easy to make. Most of the fur I saw before in SL was kinda fluffy but not really fur looking. For all the ones that now wanna stand up and get mad… no I am sure no animal had to supper for the amazing fur coat of Egoisme ๐Ÿ˜‰

The long parts are made perfectly flexible, as well the short neck parts, you nearly get the imagination you can snuggle inside if the winds gets harder and it becomes colder ๐Ÿ™‚

As well out of the latest releases I chose the “Trendy unisex leather pants” in silver-camo. The texture is so amazing handcrafted you really can see a shine on it ๐Ÿ™‚ The pants include great prim parts for the leg sleeves as well.

The cool boots I am wearing for this post are as well from Egoisme and they are called “Trekking Boots”. If you purchase a pair of the “Trekking Boots”, you will find 2 version in your box, one with a resizer and one without that you can resize manually. Overall I think with this fully Egoisme styled outfit you are fashionable prepared for the actual season ๐Ÿ˜‰ So do not hesitate and try your luck at Egoisme, I am very sure you will find your fur outfit there as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

Again we have a wonderful gown by Tres Beau combined with Finesmith jewelry that made it in the Top 12 of Miss Virtual World 2012… even more this combination of the “Miss Rissa” gown of Tres Beau and the “Tribal Glam” set from Finesmith brought Miss Rissa Friller – Miss Australia 2012 – on place 2 of the MVW contest this year. Lets take a look on the gown first. Kimmera Madison again showed her incredible skills of making textures and designing a stunning evening gown for Miss Australia 2012. The basic is made in silver. Silver is not an easy color for clothing in second life, most of the textures look grey and do not have any shine. But not for Tres Beau. The long experiences and the awesome skills of Kimmera Madison make this gown shine in a stunning silver attire. The ornaments look beautiful and give the gown even more highlights as it anyways has. The tight gown makes an awesome silhouette and the big mermaid skirt is a wonderful contrast to the shoulder free top of the gown. The ornaments are brought adorable on the gown so that you can move and pose without stretching this wonderful textures, again something that is not that easy I was told. So, no wonder that Miss Rissa Friller became the 1st runner-up for MVW 2012. The stunning gown is now available for everyone at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

For the jewelry, again we can see how close the designers work together to create this incredible looking styles. Yula Finesmith outdid herself again with catching the style and shape of the wonderful ornaments that Kimmera put on the gown. The swirls she did for the necklace, the bracelet and the ring are breathtaking awesome. Yula as well picked up the colors and made a firework of art with colors and design for this beautiful “Tribal Glam” set.The earrings, 2 little flowers,ย  are so unbelievable filigree and little, what again shows the incredible skills of yula Finesmith. The love for the detail yula and Kimmera both have in an awesome way. The great “Tribal Glam” set is now available at the Finesmith Mainstore.
