Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 11/16/2013 – A little bit of Steampunk

Silken Moon-Shi 002

Steampunk – One of my favourite styling themes. I love the smooth and brownish colors and the idea of all the technical and mechanical stuff.

For todays look I started with the new “Paradox Pants” from Silken Moon. Malicia Python, wich we all know for her incredible amazing skins, again started to make some clothing. The “Paradox Pants” were released together with a matching jacket, but for this post I wanted to showcase the pants first, as they are really awesome for mix and matching.

Silken Moon-Shi 001

For my today’s styling I chose the ‘Nexus’ version of the “Paradox Pants”. Silken Moon made a lot of other patterns and fabrics for the beautiful mesh pants. The top I picked from Leezu. It is part of one of the Noir outfits called “Efraims Daughter”. I always like the brown fabric of the corset and the ripped part that covers the chest. The huge neck part I found at Shi. Shi is a store where I find myself lately more often. They seem to make some neat accessories and items that you cannot find all over the grid. The “Hesed” neck warmer, is one of those. This huge accessory is a perfect addition for my todays look. The used look and the warm colors of the ‘old book’ version perfectly went with the pants and the top. The shoes are one of my favourites from J’s. The “Studded Long Boots” are cool flat mesh shoes that can be worn in so many different styles and for the steam punk I liked the studds that brought back the metal parts of the neck warmer. Speaking of warmers, the arm warmers are from Shi as well. Shi released amazing armwarmers with mesh hands and fingers right attached to them. With a simple HUD you can choose the ring style and as well you can match the hands to your skin relatively easy. And now i will explore this amazing sim that I found for my pictures 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe: ” Girls just wanna have fun”

LeeZu-GizzA-Lazuri 001Pink & Purple!!! Yes, I took my medicals for my pink allergy before I did the styling*grins*

Usually I try to avoid pink and purple like hell bu sometimes I am in a 80’s mood and back then pink and purple were some of the dominating colors.

The “Metropolis” mesh dress from LeeZu was the base for this in the end colorful look. The sexy short dress, wich only has straps over the shoulders is amazing textured with wonderful lights and shadows looks amazing realistic.

LeeZu-GizzA-Lazuri 002

The jacket comes from GizzA. The “Biker Jacket” always was something I had on my focus and as I saw the pink version discounted to 50%, I just could not resist and the pink & black idea was born. I am a fan of overknee boots since in forever and the “Piccadilly Overknee Boots” from LeeZu are a long time favourite of mine. To make a black basic, I put them on in black. Now the part of the legs between the black “Metropolis” dress and the boots screamed for some color as well, as the pink jacket dominated the whole look. I first tried some pink leggings but then it was too much of all that pink and so I decided to go a little darker with purple. The “Cat Tights” in violet from LeeZu with the holes just made the perfect match for my 80s look, since back then many ripped their stockings and jeans to get the used look.

For the jewelry, I wanted something with black metals and some pink and lilac or purplish looking gems. Nothing that would dominate the whole look too much, just something that goes with it. I have a fable for neck corsets and collars, so I remembered the “Noor Mystic Infinity” set from Lazuri, that I was given for the amazing jewelry spread in the BoSL Magazine. The “Noor Mystic Infinity” set is fully menu driven like all of the Lazuri jewelry and that makes it for me so valuable. I can decide about the metal and as well the gem stones for fabric and color and I can even color the gem stones in different colors and not just one for all gems. What I figured out for the Lazuri jewelry as well… you can have different styles for nearly each set. Always a basic style and 2 more to add more and more glam and parts to it. That really is something inventive for me, as you just buy one set, have 3 different styles and a full control over the metals and colors.

The skin as usual is my custom made “Wicca” skin in the new ‘lumee lunette’ tone. The lipstick as well comes from Silken Moon and the eye makeup I found at Boom.

The whole look took me so much back into the 80s that I was listening to all the old good tunes during my post and enjoyed it so much, that I would like to quote Cyndi Lauper for the end of my post… “Girls just wanna have fun!”

Autumn Moods with GizzA & EMO-tions

GizzA - Woolen Dress 001

Autumn is coming and GizzA & EMO-tions are prepared.

The “Turtle Neck Dress” from GizzA is the perfect dress for the actual season. The wonderful print on the woolen dress are held in the typical autumn n colors. The rich brown and cream combinations are perfect to shine on a rainy and grey autumn day. The dress is mesh made and goes wonderful with every move you make. The high turtle neck gives a special look and for sure it leads over to the next season that will be even colder 😉 .

GizzA - Woolen Dress 002

The hair with the cute knitted beanie are one of the new releases from EMO-tions. The new line of hair with caps, beanies and hoods comes with a very special feature. To change the hair color for the fatpacks you get an amazing HUD, that let you change the hair color. No more stuffing your inventory with a whole pack of different colors 😉 .  As well you get different styles. For the “Livia” hairstyle you have 4 different options. A rigged long version, a bob, short hair and the tails that I am wearing.

The boots are as well from GizzA and called “Lisha” boots. The brown boots with the nice accented tip and heels were the perfect addition for the “Turtle Neck Dress”.

The skin is my newest custom Skin from Silken Moon. The “Wicca Lumee Lunette” skin has the popular lumee tone of the Eclipse line from Silken Moon. For the lips I decided to go with one of  the newest lips effect of Silken Moon. The “Gold Desire” is a lipstick overlay that you can add on every lipstick of our own. It adds an amazing golden shine on every color that you like. There will be an eye makeup as well with the same effect. You are able to wear the lips and eyes effect without any lipstick or makeup under it as well. It is not yet released, but I loved the combination of red and gold together with the autumn colors of the dress.

Black & White Riding Hood?

Mea Culpa & EMO-tions 001

Black & White looks always were a favourite of mine. Today I wanted another one and for the basic I started with one of the pret a porter dresses from Mea Culpa. The simple mesh dress is highlighted with a typical Mea Culpa made texture. The strength of Tatanka’s textures we know from various designs he made in the past. For his pret a porter line he has a lot of pieces and designs that look very simple on the first view, but on the second view you will see the delicate and extravagant textures and the little attachments that make even  the pret a porter line of Mea Culpa to something special.

Mea Culpa & EMO-tions 002

The “Antares” dress from Mea Culpa makes a wonderful shape line and with the amazing shoulder parts it is a wonderful basic for many kinds of styling.

The headpiece and hair reminded me of the “Red Riding Hood” even if the hood is black 😉 . It is the new “Mary-Anne” hairstyle from EMO-tions. EMO-tions released a full line of hair pieces with bangs and various head pieces like caps and beanies and hoods. The interesting new feature is that you get a HUD for the fatpack. No more collecting tons of items in your inventory  – just the basic style with a HUD that chnages the hair color and as well the hairstyle under the hood or cap 😉 .

The amazing  necklace and bracelet are a gacha item from GizzA. The “Electra Set” in black was the perfect addition to the styling, as I only needed a necklace and a bracelet. The wonderful nail polish comes from Nail It. Giela Delpaso made several amazing nail polishes for the slink mesh hands and the “French Manicure – Dart Set” has amazing colors with the typical white top of the french manicure. The special on the Nail It nails is that you always have a prim version and one HUD version for the slink mesh hands and feet. So you can decide whether you wanna wear the mesh hands or your original avatar hands.

The lipstick is one of the latest releases from Silken Moon. The “Luna Lips” come with a special feature. You can decide, if you would like to have your lips closed or lightly parted with a teeth prim attachment. Both version will be in the “Luna Lips” pack that you are purchase.

The boots i found at one of the Colabour88 events from ISON. The “Lace-Up Gladiator Sandals” are working with the slink medium mesh feet, so you can make sure to have the best match for your skin tone with your enhancement HUD applier for your slink mesh feet.

The cool chair comes from 22769 [bauwerk]. I wanted to add some furniture to my post and the “Kafka Black” chair in shape of an insect really kicked my mind. It added a special touch of weirdness and surrealism to my picture, what I really love 😉 .

Scary Autumn with PurpleMoon & EMO-tions

PurpleMoon Halloween 2013 001

I know Halloween is already over, but this year my RL movement and a tour with a band did hold me back from posting all the amazing Halloween stuffs, so I decided to still post them 😉

Autun for me is kinda my favourite season. The days are short, the ambience gets dark and cold. If you go out for a walk you will feel the special mood that you only get in that times. The leaves fly around kissed by the wind, sometimes light rain tickles your face and fog lays heavy over the meadows and grounds.

PurpleMoon Halloween 2013 003

The “Black Widow” dress was the Halloween special of this year by PurpleMoon. A short sexy dress with amazing spider legs in the skirt. The top looks like a tight body with just one arm and the cute tights with the sweet dots added some playful touch to the dark and scary outfit. The necklace as well is from PurpleMoon, as well as the boots. The “Widow” boots are the perfect match for the dress.

The mask as well comes with the “Black Widow” outfit. A simple black mask that goes very well with the rest of the outfit without overdoing it. The huge spiderweb headpiece perfectly catches the spider necklace and the spider legs at the skirt.

For the hair I added one of the newer releases from EMO-tions. The “Illusion” hair style with the loosely wisps for me added the perfect wild attitude 😉

Medusa from *PosESioN*

Medusa 001

One of the latest releases of PosESioN is the “Medusa” pose set. I was so happy when my wonderful brother Dahriel askd me if I would like to model for the vedor of the “Medusa” set.

Madusa Vendor

I had so much with the styling  that I decided to try some more poses of the “Medusa” set and went to find some greek looking places for the right abience of my Medusa ;). All the poses of the “Medusa” set are very strong and expressive. In the set you will get 10 different poses and one pose as well is mirrowed so you can find the right view and angle for your picture.

Medusa 003

For the styling I remembered the amazing “Medusa” outfit from Enzo Champagne, owner and designer of Champagne – Sparkling Fashion. He made this amazing outfit, with all the cool snakes and the amazing huge headpiece. I decided to take the headpiece and the waist corset with the attached skirt and huge snakes.  The skirt has an interesting feature… you can enable amazing snake sounds that give the outfit  a very special mood ;). The neck corset repeats the waist corset in a wonderful way and builds a wonderful frame for the black corset and pants.

For the top i chose  the corset of the “Sablier” outfit from LeeZu together with the “Glitter Pants” as well from Leezu.

Medusa 002

For the skin I chose one of the “Morbida” skins of Silken Moon. The “Morbida” skin line of Silken Moon has some very special and outstanding makeups. For today’s styling I chose the “Morbida Lizzie” with those awesome eye makeup and the wonderful reptile looking ornaments on the cheeks. I only added one of the lipsticks that Malicia made for my custom skin in the apple color, to match the snakes. I rarely saw a grey skin that has so amazing details and so great made shadows and lights that you still get a super realistic vision of a skin.

For the shoulder snake I found the “Kaa” snake of deviousMinds. Those cool mesh snakes were part of a gacha and you could get them in different colors.

Electrifying news by Mea Culpa & EMO-tions

Mea Culpa - Sirius 001

Today I was in a crazy color mood when I unpacked all my new things. The basic for today’s styling was one of the new releases from Mea Culpa called “Sirius”. The “Sirius” dress is part of the new pret a porter line of Mea Culpa. Tatanka Kaligawa, owner and designer of Mea Culpa, made a special line with new mesh dresses, skirts and tops that are sold for under 1000 lindens.

Mea Culpa - Sirius 002

Sometimes you just wanna go out and meet friends or just go for a window shopping tour. Then you do not wanna dress up too extravagant but maybe you still search for something that has something special or extravagant. The bright and strong colors of the “Sirius” really inspired me to do a colorful post.

To underline the strong colors I decided to wear some extraordinary makeup from Nuuna’s. I combined the “Warp” makeup in green with the “Tiia” in purple and added a lipstick, Malicia Python from Silken Moon made for me.

The wonderful red hair, is one of the newer mesh hair of EMO-tions. The “Maja” hair is a non symmetric hairstyle and with the mesh technique it goes wonderfully with all your moves.

The rain on my skin… to hard

A word in my ear… to loud

The sun in my eyes… too bright

You… feel like a million people

I … feel like a million shards

… and i just can see why

N1CO 002

Lately I met a wonderful woman, that I adore for a longer time as a designer and genius, creative mind. Noreia Owen, owner and designer of N1CO. In the past I visited her store several times and found a lot of non usual and amazing accessories and outfits – some of them I showed on my blog already 😉 .

She took a longer break from SL she told me and came back finding her self facing the new mesh clothing and she started to work her way trough that and started to create a lot of amazing mesh outfits and clothing that I soon will show as well here on my blog.

Today I would like to spotlight one of her older outfits that I wanted to do pics with for a long time. The “[YAFL ] Devotion” outfit is a wonderful creation in black and orange. The outfit comes with black tassels for the chest but I wanted to bring the orange back again with a corset so I skipped them.

N1CO 004

The orange mesh corset I found on marketplace and it is the only part I added besides the “Devotion” outfit. All the other parts, the pants with the amazing lines which show a lot of skin, the jacket with the cool necklace, the awesome headpiece with the blindfold, the jacket and the hair are part of the “Devotion” outfit.

This styling again shows that older designs and creations still can be amazing, and timeless even if they are not fully mesh made 😉 You always can combine older things that already got some dust in your wardrobe. Those things even might pull a unique touch as many might have forgotten about them already 😉 .

The skin is my new and updated Wicca skin that Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon made for me, in the awesome lumee tone. The lipstick I used, is one of her latest releases, the Luna lips. For all of the new lipsticks at Silken Moon you have now, besides the usual closed  lips, an open lips option with a matching alpha layer.

Halloween with Mea Culpa & Silken Moon

Mea Culpa - Crow 002

Halloween is not too far away and SL’s top designers already released their Halloween collections and items. I would like to do a series of Halloween 2013 looks and decided to start with one of the latest releases from Mea Culpa.

Mea Culpa - Crow 001

The “Lunar Crow” is the perfect styling for an avant garde Halloween look. For all of those who prefer a couture look instead of a scary, cruel looking style, the “Lunar Crow” will be the right choice. The outfit is partwise mesh made. The skirt and the neck corset are mesh made and combined with the prims of the hat and the moving prims of the shoulder parts it makes a perfect match between old and new design tools. The layers are made with a delicate lace texture and the huge headpiece adds an extra avant touch.

Mea Culpa has an awesome Halloween special! Till Halloween on the 31st of  October, there will be different Halloween matching outfits for a special discount of 50% off!!! This is a chance, you should not miss… one of the great Mea Culpa designs for only the half prize!!!

Every week, there will be a selection of outfits that are set to 50% off. This week it is the “Black Mamba” (https://wiccamerlin.de/mea-culpa-goes-fetish-fashion/), the “Call of the Siren” (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/news-and-spectacular-christmas-special-at-mea-culpa/) and the “Dark Desire” (http://www.flickr.com/photos/meaculpahighfashion/6303396627/)

For all the males – do not be sad you have as well your Mea Culpa Halloween special. If you wanna know what it is this week just take a peek at the new Mea Culpa Mainstore! (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Himmafushi%20Island/127/141/23)

The nails are my favourite ones from Formanails. The “Madonna Skeleton” nails are prim nails, that fit to the regula avatar hands.

The incredible makeup comes out of the hand of Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon. The “Kabuki” makeup is one of the new releases, and for me it was the perfect match for today’s Halloween styling. The strong and dark ornaments round the eyes give you a certain kinda mystic look and together with the lip stripe that has that sharp line going down… it just caught my heart 😉 .

Dark Femme Fatale with GizzA & Finesmith

GizzA & Finesmith 002

Days get shorter, colder and my favourite season of the years starts… the mystical autumn.

Autumn contains some of my most favourite days like Halloween. I like the dark and foggy ambience what always has something dreamy and creepy scary when the sun goes down ;). This is the time of the little scary stories, which I really love a lot. Anyways if legends or fairy tales, I like the feeling that you have when you sit inside your house, the wind blows outside and shadows play little games outside 😉 .

GizzA & Finesmith 001

I am sure that the new “Femme Fatale” outfit from GizzA was not meant to be shown in a dark and scary way but my mind was so much caught by the darkness of the season that I could not resist 😉 . The “Femme Fatale” in black is a huge folder with many parts and items, which make an amazing ready-to-wear outfit. What first caught my eyes was the long, sheer mesh coat with the amazing frills. The sheer coat makes it possible that you can see the awesome mesh corset, the beautiful lace body and the super cool mesh overknee boots. Even the wonderful eye makeup is included.

To underline the dark look I decided to wear the “Black Bride” horns from Finesmith, with the veil made of branches. For the jewelry as well I added some parts of the amazing Finesmith jewelry, the “Shiraz” earrings and necklace in onyx.

The “Diavolo” hair from Vanity hair was the best match in name and style to complete my dark “Femme Fatale”. For the skin I was wearing my new and updated “Wicca Lumee Lunette” skin from Silken Moon. Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon, will kill me, if I do not add that the green tone, that my skin got came from my windlight settings as the skin itself carries the popular lumee tone of her new Eclipse skin line 😉 .
