New line at LeeZu!

by

LeeZu came up with a very sexy and stunning clothing line called “BDSM”. For now it contains 7 fantastic outfits, each one in black and red, the typical colors for this lifestyle. 😉 But I think not only BDSM related or interested people can wear this designs as the outfits are really sexy and stunning and as well very fashionable 🙂 But let me show you at least 3 of them for today 🙂

The first one is called “Missheep” I already combined the red and the black version in here as I really liked it 🙂 Usually you have he outfit in full red of black to buy… but as you can see.. it iw worth getting both for this lovely combination 😉 The outfit itself is made very clear and LeeZu again shows off her awesome skills if it come to texturing and designing. The top and bottom part lays dreamy tight on the body and accents the wonderful shape of every lady. The amazing idea with the holes that give a lovely sexy touch is perfectly combined with a closed bottom part and the very stunning opaque stockings and gloves. A neat little detail I really loved are the garters that hold the stockings. The spot where the garter meets the stockings again shows off the eye for the detail of LeeZu creations as it looks wonderful realistic. A totally highlight and as well a very fashionable accessory is the cute hat with the flexible cord.

Up next we have “Sablier” here only shown in black but also available in tempting red 😉 It is kinda my favourite outfit even if I have to admit I really like them all 🙂 but this one for a reason caught my heart. I love corsets in general… not only in SL 😉 and this design has this great and very detailed corset as a center of the whole outfit. The different textures combined with the amazing front and the little metal parts that close the corset… simply amazing and so realistic that I was nearly tempted to put my finger on the screen and let it run down that amazing fabrics *grins The great idea with the waist part for insiders may look like the stylistic idea of an “O” dress and I really like the idea to cover the private parts like this even if a panty can be worn under it as well.  The great fishnet stockings I kinda hided with that long boots a bit, but I liked them so much to this outfit that I could not resist, so make sure you make your way to the LeeZu Mainstore to see how amazing they look 😉 Unbelievable but true the great arm ropes and the fantastic collar are as well part of that wonderful outfit!

Last but not least for today I would like to showcase the “Liquid Latex” a very and non usual outfit that perfectly can go as part of a fashion magazine as well 😉 The clothing layers are very daring and show a lot of skin what adds a damn sexy touch. As you have no “usual” cuts and holes it is very interesting to look where the clothing layers cover skin and where not. As a great addition you have this long spike looking parts and the amazing necklace that looks made of black pearls. As well you have this amazing roses that decorate the left legs outside… over all this is an outfit you will have to look more than once to discover all the great details! And if you like red more… just make your way to the LeeZu Mainstore ;). I hope I could wake your curiosity about the new LeeZu line and you find the perfect outfit for you.. or even to surprise your love 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe – My look for the “Finesmith Inspiration Project” casting

by

Today was a very exciting day for me… I was allowed to take part on the “Finesmith Inspiration Project” casting for March 2011. I was very excited and I opened my jewel case and spread it all over my bed… what to choose for such an event and such an opportunity? I was trying nearly everything on what I have and nothing seemed to meet the requirements of that casting. So, what to do…?

First of all I cannot go naked but I also do not want to wear anything that disturbs the jewelry that should be center of my styling… suddenly I remembered that silver airbrush color that I had left from another shooting and quickly my whole body was covered by that sweet silver color. Ok that seemed to be a basic. Then parts of the last dress Nefertiti Kimagawa gave me to blog came back in my mind (yes this dress will be blogged very soon as well 😉 ) It has sweet transparent looking shirt and pants layers to cover the private parts lightly but still not enough to satisfy what I wanted to have for this special evening… so I put on the great nipple shields that yula Finesmith released not too long ago and as well the cool necklace that yula changed to kinda skirt came back in my mind. I was wearing it for the SL Art Couture Metropolis Show ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24jxxnCv8XM ) and it worked perfectly for that what I wanted to have for now too in combination with my favourite collar from Finesmith Designs as well. Quickly I found the matching bracelets to this look and looked in the mirror again… there was something missing for an “Inspiration Project” casting. My eyes catched the “Valeria Set ” earrings and I suddenly got the idea of sweet wings… a few hammer hits later and 2 parts for connecting that new-made wings to my back – yes hell I was trying to build some and texture it as well –  I looked again at my self and …that seemed to look right! Now I can just wait the last minutes till it was going to start. I was ready to go and my nervousness raised with ever minute…

Of course, we had to line up in alpha order – next time if I choose a name for a game please remind me not to let it start with “W” – and I had to wait loooong… and it was enough time to get even more nervous as I anyways was… as it was my turn I walked out that runway with knees like jelly, all of the contestants were wearing so beautiful gowns and outfits and I …without any fabric on my body… but the reaction was amazing I felt my heart flying away and I really made it to be one of the 5 choses models AND I was chosen to be on the advertise for the next month as well.. I was not far from fainting and full of happiness. I walked back with all the other amazing models and it felt as I would walk on clouds! Thanks so much for all that let me feel like that and give me the chance to do that!!!

“Edith” can be purchased in awesome different colors. For today I got baby blue, crimson, silver and yellow. So for every outfit you will find the matching color if you make your way to the Narcotix Mainstore. But now to another great feature of this amazing pair of shoes… The incredible low lag HUD. In the past I had the honor to be a beta tester for this new kind of HUD (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/soon-it-will-be-the-day-nx-nardcotix-will-release-the-new-mana-dezi-flat-sandals/). Exactly that HUD again comes with the new shoes as well. I even was able to use my older one that already had all that great nails features already in!

The HUD makes it able to tint the color of the bare foot perfectly to your own skin tone. You can choose between a few presets and as well create your won ones that you can safe to have them always available. There is a basic nail polish set and also different nude shades included but for the special nail polish you have to get the extensions packs.

And they are so worth it if you see what you can get with! It is a wide selection of colormixed ornaments, and as well some with neat little thumbnails on them!

As you can see there is also for the uni colored nails different textures if you take a closer look on the both red nails. So this extra nails really a must have as well and you can match each and every look individual…just amazing! The HUD is very easy to operate and as well the addition of the extra nails is not hard at all!

So best is you make your way to the Narcotix Mainstore and take a look by yourself! 🙂

New at Diram – Arrogance arrived in the Store!

by

After I am back from 2 weeks of being in hospital and could not access the internet, I am happy to be back on track now 🙂

Today I have the pleasure to show you the first outfit I got from the new Arrogance line made by Diram. Again djod Karu shows her amazing skills if it comes to the extraordinary way of designing delicate outfits for females. Young, fresh , smart and sexy, that and much more her clothing lines show.

Today I want to take a closer look on the “Angie Dress”

The combination black and gold is usually a very elegant one as we can see here as well. But Diram would not be Diram if she just would be satisfied with ‘elegance only’. “Angie” is a little piece of art. The dress it self is a firework of different parts and materials that show how various black can be.

The filigree parts as the skirt and the fantastic chest part of the right side add a very special and extravagant touch. The golden button that decorates the belly is repeated on this great golden mask that covers half of the face.

The limited edition of the Finesmith Designs jewelry named “Valeria Inspiration Set” , for me was the perfect choice for the accessories. The long and filigree beams that look like the beams of the sun in gold perfectly matches the awesome flexiprims of the dress.

This is only one of way more new outfits of the new “Arrogance” line made by Diram. I will show you more for sure, but of you cannot wait make your way to the Diram Mainstore and take a look by yourself 🙂

News at Ezura!!! An amazing new outfit for a perfect couple :)

by

Today I have the great honor to show you one of the latest releases of the great Ezura Xue, incredible designer of Ezura. She again created a wonderful outfit named “Willow” This great outfit as a male and a female version what makes it possible to be the perfect couple 😉

Let me start with the female version of “Willow”

“Willow” for females  comes in 6 wonderful different options to wear. The first one we can see above is the most elegant  wide one with a long closed skirt that is amazing flexible. The hips are covered by a little part that looks like a short skirt over the long one and makes a lightly medieval touch. This touch is underlined from the amazing black brocade looking texture that covers the whole gown. The top is made like a wonderful corsage that accents the well shaped waist of a Lady perfectly. Only 2 lines hold the corsage in place and go over the shoulder to the back. Wonderful if you want to add jewelry like a huge collier 😉 The arm parts are as well awesome flexible and move with every wind breeze.

For the first 3 versions we keep the ‘long’ skirt variation to some point. On the very left you can see the version that is fully open in the front and the long skirt part in the back falls like a train down with an opaque texture that keeps the amazing fabric of the top and the gown version. For the second version in the middle we again have an open front but not that much as before and the fabric changed to a very sexy sheer one. On the right we have one version, that just has a high slit on the right side, again with an opaque fabric.

As we look through all the different styles of that amazing outfit i do not wanna skip that you as well have the choice of 4 different colors. Coal, teal, emerald and mocha.  You can as well wear that fabulous outfit as a stunning lingerie as we can see on the left side in the teal color.

For the example of the mocha version I chose the short version of this amazing outfit. As you can see with this outfit you can cover every situation you can think of. It is really an awesome chameleon that has lots of possibilities.

 

Now it is time to take a look on the male version. Again I would like to thank Harsch Sharktooth for modeling this great outfit for the post 🙂

The male “Willow” is the perfect match to the female one. The same great textures that you had on the skirt you find here on the jacket. The details on that outfit really blow me away. Every little part that you can think of is done with so much love on every single part. The white shirt, the tie and as well the waist coat that you can see under the jacked always is made of a lighter shade as the jacket itself.

Same as for the female “Willow” we have the colors coal, teal, mocha and emerald. In this pic you can see how great the shades work together for the different colors. Another great detail is the belt that lays so perfect on the hips. The pants are also made with great lights and shadows according to the color of the jacket and waist coat.

Overall you really should make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and take a look by yourself.

Glamorous News at Glam Affair – Part 2

by

As I promised… another one of the great new outfits from Glam Affair 🙂 As well of the [Nero] collection as have today… “Saba”. A very sexy and stunning short bodysuit outfit. The black sheer thighs make a wonderful sexy touch and cover the skin just as much as needed 😉 The front has an amazing free part where the skin and parts of the cleavage peek trough.

In the back the body is fully closed as you can see. For me a total eye catcher is the huge neckpart that reaches down to the shoulders. Even if it is just one attachment it looks like a combination of more layers decorated with amazing little diamonds in the middle.

For the accessories I made a mix and match of Finesmith Designs awesome jewelry. The earrings are from the “Valeria Inspration” set. A limited edition with only 100 pieces in SL :). For the collar I chose the “ash” collar and colored it in silver with onyx gems. The amazing “O – Collection 011” bracelets and the fingernails are as well from Finesmith Designs. The great boots we all know are from BAX and the crazy hair is made by Bliss Couture.
