Spring Time with Lybra

by

Lybra 001

Lybra again made a mini collection of spring or even summer awaiting designs ;).

Today I wanna drag the focus on the “Jamee” dress. All of the dresses and gowns of this sweet mini collection are full of color and aerial parts, but the “Jamee” dress really caught my attention the most, so I decided to put it first 😉

The base of the dress is mesh made, so you can be sure it will move amazing with your avatar. The wonderful skirt accent parts at the bottom are flexible prims, wich move amazingly with every step, and some of them even go up to the hips what gives a real playful touch.

At the chest a wonderful flower ornament was added, wich underlines the spring or summer touch. The whole collection was released for the K.I.D.S charity and one of the amazing dresses even was a 100% donation for even that.

Certainly I could have added a wonderful elegant updo, wich would have put the dress more towards a gown attitude, for a more elegant occasion, but I loved the simple and clean, even lightly casual touch with the short and modern hair cut from Vanity Hair. For the makeup I wanted to continue my simple and easy, casual spring look and I just added some orange nailpolish from Nailed It! and the open version of the “Diva Lips” from Silken Moon in papaya with the prim teeth attachment in pearly white,  that comes with the whole pack.

The furniture, that you can see on the first picture was made by Atelier Visconti. The “Sophie” set contains a table, a chair, cupcake stands and cake stand, wich you can modify and 3 super sweet and cute cupcakes. I liked the idea of a spring morning, when you can have breakfirst outside – coffee and some sweet cupcakes in the sun… what more do you need?

Through the eyes of a child

Sweet innocent child with your open eyes.
You’ve seen us for who we really are.
And I know that there’ll be tomorrow.
So that hope can have it’s glory day.
And I wish that this world would embrace you
from magic stars and mystery.
My open heart …

I know you, I’ve seen your face before
you brought me to this open door
afraid to walk through.
Please take my hand.

I know that there will be tomorrow.
So that hope can have it’s glory day?
And I wish that this world embrace you
from magic stars and mystery.
My open heart …

I see where we’ll go from here.
‘Cause love doesn’t break
with the right amount of care
in your hands is whom you’ve choosen to be.
Life is a freedom.
Now go out there and be free.

Why did we make it so hard, this life is so complicated
until we see it through the eyes of a child.
Why did we make it so hard, this life is so complicated
until we see it through the eyes of a child.
Why did we make it so hard, this life is so complicated
until we see it through the eyes of a child.
Why did we make it so hard, this life is so complicated
until we see it through the eyes of a child.

 Fashion for K.I.D.S.  is a week-long charity event which will take place from April 14th to April 21st, 2014. that will help to feed the bodies and minds of young children. The two Miss Virtual World 2014 Candidates, Sienna Bellios and Shelby Matfield will collaborate in this effort , and raises funds for K.I.D.S., a children’s charity that aids in the development of children through nourishment and education (literacy). K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distress Situations) donates 97 percent of donations to the children and families they serve. The charity helps many kids in distress situations such as homelessness, low literacy rate, victims of domestic violence, children with serious illness, and military families. More information on this charity can be found at http://www.kidsdonations.org/about_wwa.htm.

During this event, a host of 18+ designers  willing to set up small vendors of their creations – with one creation donating 50% or more to the children’s charity. Since the charity is to aid children, the designers will have an array of bright colors to represent children, and just in time for spring! To cap off this event, we will host a grand fashion show on the BOSL sim, featuring the awesome women of Miss Virtual World 2014! It is our hope that through this colorful, spring fashion event, that we raise a substantial amount of lindens to give to K.I.D.S.

Each day families all around the world struggle for food, clothing, and shelter. Each day a parent loses their job and with the loss of a job, usually the loss of their home follows. We work hard to make ends meet, rob Peter to pay Paul, struggle to care for our children but the truth is, the vast majority is just one pay check away from poverty. And while as adults we suffer, those who suffer the most are our children. (Sazzy Nirpaw, http://sazzynirpaw.wordpress.com/2014/04/12/through-a-childs-eyes/)

—————————————————————

I really was very happy when Sienna IMed me and asked me, if I would like to participate in that event. I worked or over 10 years in children home for abused and homeless kids and it really touched my heart, when Sienna asked me. All the memories came back, the eyes of the children looking at me, their little hands reaching out for something the would like to have, the sparkling in their eyes for candy if I brought some with me to work…

I was thinking a lot what I could make for such a charity, because I really wanted to have something that has the kids theme in it. The idea of the “Lolliopop Gown” was born. All kids love candy and the idea of a gown made of lollipops just seemed for me the right idea for such a charity 😉

The gown comes with the mesh corset, a mesh skirt, the huge lollipop back-fan, the ribbons and ruffles and some little parts like the hair decoration and the lollipop for the hand. I left all the prim parts modify, so that you can play with them and reattach or resize them to your likings.

I hope you all like the idea, my little candy dream because 100% proceeds of the “Lollipop Gown” will go to the K.I.D.S. charity.

Please help those who cannot help themselves!

Lybra & Finesmith 002

Sometimes you do not really know what you wanna style, or what you wanna wear and then you maybe just start with the basic idea of the color. Today I was in a black & white mood.

For the base I took the amazing “Tigress Gown” by Lybra. Lybra made this for the Tiger Alley event at SAVIAD. The imagination of a white tiger is not to deny ;). The long tight shape of the mesh dress, that opens towards the floor, with its tiger looking top and the more black wider bottom was the perfect start to create one of my very own looks 😉 .  If you put on a dress you have various possibilities how to style it. You can go for the elegant and pretty look, or you can go a bit more couture or wild. For today I had no particular style in mind and just followed my feelings. The jewelry I took from the “Amit” of Finesmith. Usually the set comes with a black short leather dress but the jewelry itself was so perfect to the “Tigress Gown” from Lybra, so I decided to just mix those 2 😉 The wonderful head piece with the flower heads wich were repeated at the bracelet and the chest part give some kind of a spring feeling even if they are black. The petals that run down over the face for me give a lightly mystic or dreamy looking attitude to the whole look.

Lybra & Finesmith 001a

Now the whole look became  bit too elegant for my actual mood and I remembered the amazing “Gacha Horns” that I got from a gacha at the Arcade. Those made the perfect contrast to the basic elegant look 😉 .

The amazing necklace as well was made for a gacha with a lot of different colors. Natzuka made those and as well some wonderful spring looking rings for her gachas at the SAVIAD Spring Fair.

And now please take  look at those evil long and sharp nails… aren’t they just cool?

They are made by Formanails. Formanails started to make nails for the Slink hands not too long ago and I already had a special about them. Ivi Bing keeps herself busy and brings more and more amazing designs. The latest ones are the “XXL” nails. With an inbuilt menu you can change the textures on them by touch and I really was happy when I found a black and white one that was just perfect for my todays look 🙂

Wicca’s Wardrobe for the BeStyle Gypset Market

Spring Flower Dress Pink

The BeStyle Gypset Market is a monthly event done by the BeStyle District. They have 2 different locations, one GOLD and one SILVER section. At the gold section you will find limited designs and the silver section has smaller and non limited creations to offer 🙂 .

I was very excited, when Linnda Scofield IMed me and asked me if I would like to be part of that event. The request was to create something spring looking in pastel colors. I decided to make the spring dress, wich already was a great success ina  very special color, wich willnot be available anymore after this month of the BeStyle Gypset Market. Since you all know about my pink allergy, I thought I can suffer for a limited time of tha color and so the “Spring Flower” dress in pink was born 😉 .

To match the “Spring Flower” dress in pink I made one of my “Coco” bags matching to the dress.

Wicca & Saz Corset Vendor

Today I am very excited to announce that I finally released my short series of corsets with matching jeans and bolderos 🙂 . It is a short collection of 6 different patterns and fabrics that iI was working on for quiet some time now. In RL I am addicted to corsets so it was a long time dream to make some in SL as well that would be kinda the style I could like to wear. Usually if you hear corsets many have only the fetish vision or a medieval look in their mind, but corsets can be so much more and they can be part of every day wear as well.

Corsets,Jeans & Vendor for Blog 001

A corset is a garment worn to hold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purposes (either for the duration of wearing this item, or with a more lasting effect). Both men and women are known to wear corsets, though women are more common wearers.

In recent years, the term “corset” has also been borrowed by the fashion industry to refer to tops which, to varying degrees, mimic the look of traditional corsets without actually acting as one. While these modern corsets and corset tops often feature lacing or boning and generally mimic a historical style of corsets, they have very little if any effect on the shape of the wearer’s body. Genuine corsets are usually made by a corsetmaker and should be fitted to the individual wearer. (Wikipedia)

In the fashion industry corsets became again more and more popular as sexy and modern accessories. And so I am happy to present my short mini corset collection in my store now 😉

I packed some full outfits but as well I offer all the corsets, jeans and bolero single, so that you can mix and match them how ever you like 😉 .

The pants have a special metal button that gets repeated at the bolero as well. On the first view the boleros are all black but if you take a closer look, each of that 6 different black jackets have a different pattern or feature round the zipper on the arms to match the jeans and corset they belong to. Certainly you can cross mix them as well.

The corsets all have a different texture and a certain style. Anyways if back laced or front laced or with straps and buckles, all of them come in the 5 standard sizes and are mesh made, same as the jeans and the boleros.

I hope you come over and take a look or try the demos and find one you like for your wardrobe 🙂 .

Silken Moon, Finesmith & Swallows for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 @ SAVIAD

by

SAVIAD Silken Moon+Finesmith 001

All those amazing creations that were made for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 event… and so less time to showcase them all 🙁

But I keep trying, even if it might get over the time of the event itself, I really belive they all should have a spotlight 😉

For this look I combined different designs released for the event on the SAVIAD sim. The huge feather wings and the amazing matching collar are parts of the release of Finesmith of the FIERA event. The “Butterfly” in general has a matching dress as well coming with them but I liked the “Estara” gown from Silken Moon so much together with it, so I just had to put those together 😉 . The cute wrap around at the chest have such an amazing and realistic look, simply stunning. The aerial pattern Malicia put on the dress with this amazing color combinations and the filigree floral structures just made the whole dress to a perfect spring item 🙂 .

To complete the colorful spring look, I added one of the 2 amazing head pieces from Swallow. The “Butterfly” headpiece in turquoise just hit the nail on the hat for me 😉

The elegant “Allegra” hair knot at the back of the head together with the amazing hairbase again comes from EMO-tions.

The matching makeup with the soft but still deep colors I found at Silken Moon. The combination of the “SM Eclipse Centrestage Green Spleen” and the “SM Eclipse Color Eye Mauve” caught the colors of the look in an amazing way.

by

SAVIAD Azul+Nailed It+BAOBA 001

Azul as well made a beautiful gown for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 @ SAVIAD. The “Claro de Luna” gown is a partial mesh gown with as well flexible prims that let some parts flow amazingly with every breeze of air that surrounds you 😉 .

The hat as well was made for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair. BaObA made a few wonderful hats for the fair and the “Orchids” just was the perfect match to the “Claro de Luna” gown.

The beautiful “‘Spring Wedding” nails from Nailed It! are as well one of 2 super cute sets, wich you can find at the SAVIAD sim.

So I just had to find some jewelry and hair to complete the look. The hair comes from EMO-tions and is called “Yashi” with the high updo, I wanted to underline the elegant and still modern look of the dress and the hat.

For the jewelry I wanted something with a timeless chic and I decided to go with the “Talluah” set from Maxi Gossamer.

You still have the chance to look at all the amazing creations at SAVIAD until the end of the month. So better hurry before it is over 😉

GizzA & *PosESioN* for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 @ SAVIAD

by

SAVIAD GizzA + Finesmith 001

One more post for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 for today 😉

This time I would like to show case one of the amazing creations of GizzA at the SAVIAD sim. The “Lolita Dress” comes with leggings that have the heels included, the hat and the wonderful butterfly belt accessories. With the light brown and beige color it really gives you a feeling of the coming warmer days of spring.

For the jewelry I decided to go with the “Geula” set of Finesmith. The golden brown textures give a wonderful frame for the huge gem and with the beige of the outfit it was just as it was made for it 😉 .

To match the beautiful gem I wanted to add some more color to the beige and brown. I remembered one of the “Rainbow” eye shadows. The “Rainbow Mauve” catched the colors of the gem so wonderful and gave the whole look the little bit of color I wanted.

The little bag, I made by myself and I like it so much that I decided to make a few white ones, wich you can find at my first gacha on the SAVIAD sim as well 😉

Now I wanna share a secret with you… if you take a look on my skin… yes it is still my custom-made Wicca skin by Silken Moon, but Malicia updated it!

She made a whole new body and as well updated a lot of my facial features. And besides my usual super light tone she made me one version in the new peach tone she made for her new skin line as well! But this I would like to pull over onto a nother post with a total spotlight on my new updated Wicca 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe for the FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 @ SAVIAD – Part 1

by

Spring Flower Dress Vendor

Today I am very excited… The FIERA Spring Fashion Fair 2014 is the first event I was asked to be part as a designer!

I started making poses longer ago and lately I found fun in making shoes and clothing. I started with some black and white clothing and so the SAVIAD event really was a challenge for me. The request was to create something spring looking. I thought a long time anbout what I could do and did some research of the colors for spring 2014. In the end the result was 2 very different creations and the first one I would like to show you today.

The “Spring Flower” dress is a short, non symetric dress with amezing ruffles on the outside of the right leg, wich is a little longer than the left side. To underline the soft orange color I decided to add some orchids and Daisys in front of the dress. I started with the sash of flowers and while I was putting them together one by one the idea came to my mind to extend them even down the ruffles. When I saw the final result i wanted to add some more flowers round the head and so the idea of  a little hat was born 😉

Spring Flower Hat Vendor

To add some more flowers i decided to include 2 little daisys to the dress as earrings. When I took a final look over the dress with the hat, I could not resist to even make booties for it as I like to create whole looks where all works together. Sometimes I have trouble while styling to find the right color for the shoes and so the “Spring Flowers Booties” were born 🙂 . The “Spring Flower Booties” match the color of the dress and as well repeats the orchids and flowers I used for the dress sash and the head piece.

Spring Flower Booties Vendor

In the end I liked the dress so much that I wanted to make it in another color, so I decided to make a white version of the “Spring Flower” dress and the booties as well.
