Vanguard – Rising star on the fashion heaven?

December 21, 2011 by Wicca Merlin

Lately I got approached by a new designer I never heard before. Her name is Rollyn Humphrey and the brand she owns and designs for is called Vanguard. I unpacked the outfits and I have to say a few of them really caught my attention, so I would like to show you 3 if them for now. The fist one you can see above is called “Freak” and somehow it fits its name 😉 The dress itself is wonderful sculpted and the texture is superb. I only added the new Finesmith “Fabrege” brooch. The rest is all part of the outfit including the hood that hides the head, what made it kinda interesting for me 😉 To make sure, that no body parts stick out Rollyn added 2 alpha layers.

The second gown carries the name “Goldness” and for me it was kinda my personal favourite of the collection I got, even if all of them are great. Again perfect prim work and as well an incredible great texture again!

My last outfit for this post is the “I <3 Mcqueen” dress, certainly from Vanguard as well 😉 Again we can see the great skills of Rollyn Humphrey, if it comes to texturing. Her ideas are fresh and modern and I really think this creations can be part of the fashion future in SL as they stand out from many other stuff. You should make the effort and visit the Vanguard Mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fazul/54/214/286)

LeeZu meets Finesmith for Christmas ;)

December 21, 2011 by Wicca Merlin

Awesome news by LeeZu and Finesmith, two of my favourite designers, made me combine them for the blog 😉

The first dress, what you can see above as well, unbeliveable but true is the actual groupgift from LeeZu. Perfect for Christmas and the Holy Days, this red dress has so many sweet details. The long skirt is made perfectly flexible. The top only is a tiny cute part that covers the private parts as much as it has to to keep the outfit PG 😉

The huge hat as well is part of the “Anastasia” groupgift. The candle, baubel and other sweet details really make this hat to a little peace of art. I just added the PurpleMoon “Ana” hair in platinum and the appropriate hairbase.The skin comes from Glam Affair and te makup was made by LovelyMi as part of her christmas gift.

For the jewelry I added one of the latest Finesmith releases – the “Alexandra” set in white. Yula Finesmith released some of her creations in white as a special for the season. “Alexandra” is one of them, the others will follow 😉

The second outfit as well comes from LeeZu. A special edition of the “Natascha” dress in red. The short and sexy dress in the perfect Holiday color makes a super cute Ms Santa as well 😉 The awesome red “Street Blues Boots” are as well from LeeZu. The boots come in 2 different versions for each color in the same packet. one is the uni color and one is mixed with some highlights. For the jewelry I decided to go with the set that Draakje Daily got for her national costume fat the MVW 2012 finals. The “Tulp” set in red was the best jewelry I could think of for the cute little sexy Ms Santa version of mine :p. I hope that I soon can show you all of the amazing sets , yula Finesmith did for some of the MVW 2012 candiates 😉

Rocking all over the world with Prism!

December 21, 2011 by Wicca Merlin

Today I call Herradura Baar guilty for no sleeping long enough :p… Short before I was logging for the night she jumped in my IMs asking me if I got the latest release of Prism. I did not yet and immediately 2 versions of “Gisele” appeared in my inventory. Curious, as I am always if I get news from Journey McLaglen, I put the first one on… and as soon as it rezzed I fell in love and had the theme for pics in mind. In RL I am a musician and mostly I play rock music and “Gisele” asked for some rock chicks pics in my mind *giggles. And there they are 🙂 “Gisele” in Dancin (above) and Apple Tree (below) totally called me back to the 80’s. I am sure you can style them in many different ways but for me the 80’s rock theme stuck in my head 😉 As always the textures are totally awesome and perfectly made with the amazing skills of Journey. Her clothing always stood and stands for quality. “Gisele” comes with crazy colored, cool pants, a knitted top with an amazing scarf and the great belt. You should really make your way to the Prism Mainstore and find you personal favourite color… I know Journey for a while and I am sure she made more than this 2 color versions of “Gisele” 🙂

Keep on rocking!!!

Stunning, sexy news from eXxEsS

December 19, 2011 by Wicca Merlin

Again I have the honor to showcase one of the latest creations of eXxEsS.

This amazing “Morana” outfit comes as a ready-to-wear outfit including all clothing layers, jewelry and as well the boots!

The black basic texture is made in a wonderful way with perfect set lights and highlights. The golden parts of the clothing layers are wonderful detailed with the texture and the little dots that you can see on nearly every border of the body suit , the upper end of the gloves and as well to frame the wonderful golden textured parts.

Even in the cool boots you can find this amazing dots if you look at the upper end. The boots have some other highlight as well if you look at the heels. They are amazing decorated with silver parts.

The earrings, necklace and armlets are as well part of the whole outfit and for every color version of the “Morana” they are made in the matching color.

Again eXxEsS made me curious to take a look at their Mainstore… maybe you should try as well 😉
