We all know Taliya Tarber as an excellent and incredible photographer, but she decided to take a break from taking pictures to follow her new passion… she started creating skins and I have to admit they are way beyond any expectations. She gets all her ideas and wonderful skills into that skins and I am very proud that I am allowed to show her first line on my blog…

“Smoked Charm” this wonderful skin is called and it comes with all options you can think on! You have the option to wear it with or without cleavage features, with french nails or even without any nail polish, even on the ones that like fingernails she thought with one option that just shows the basic skin and you can add every prim nails without wearing nail gloves to cover the nails of the skin. Also you can choose between dark and light eyebrows. To identify she has her own little code that is to read like the following:

CL = Cleavage
NCL= No Cleavage
FM = French Manicure
NN = No Nails
LTBR = Lighter Brow
DKBR = Darker Brow

To speak about eyebrows, Garded Secret included 4 different shapes for the eyebrows…

All eyebrow shapes are modify and you can edit them as you like.

The “Smoked Charme” here show in the pale tone is also available in fair, tan, bronze and dark bronze.

If you make your way to the Garded Secret Mainstore you also will find skins with a limited edition. That means Taliya Tarber limited special skins with special makeups up to 25 on the whole grid. Further you will find eyes and lashes as well made by Garded Secret.

K-Code, by Kara Dresler – An upcoming new brand!

Today I have the great honor to show you a new label on my blogย  – K – Code. Lately I had a nice talk to the designer Kara Dresler and she gave me one of her great casual outfits. Overall it is called “Aquamarine” and it is an amazing mix and match of a few of her designs.

It is a wonderful mix and match for a gret late summer afternoon. The “Chloe” top shows of the great skills of Kara Dresler. The textures are awesome detailed and the attached prim parts make this top to something special. A sweet collar that goes up a bit and the wonderful ruffles round the waist… beautiful! Also the prim sleeves that cover the shoulders are made of an awesome texture that gives them a great realistic look. For the pants I got the “Chick City” pants. This pair of trousers are made with love to the detail. 4 pockets, 2 on the sides and 2 on the back, give a wonderful city chick touch. The lower legs are covered by 2 amazing attached prims. All the shadows and lights on the texture give a real great imaginations of how the fabric makes folds or wrinkles. I really like this first outfit of K – Code and I guess it will not be my last one. If you make your way to the K – Code Mainstore you can see all the other fantastic creations of Kara Dresler ๐Ÿ™‚

Mea Culpa – Shoes are the girls best friend ;)

Lately Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa started to make his own shoe line. Extravagant and extraordinary shoes for the modern fashionista! On top in the first pic we see one of his latest creations named “Lizzard” For this wonderful pair of shoes you need the viewer 2.0 or higher or one of that ones that feature the alpha and tattoo layers. The amazing lace covers the whole foot and you nevertheless can see the nails! As always the shoes come with a HUD to match it like you want to ๐Ÿ™‚ For “Lizzard” you can change the color of skin, nails, straps and the extras ๐Ÿ™‚

“Medusa” the second pair is called that I wanna show you. The design combines being spikey and playful ๐Ÿ˜‰

The heel itself has a nice twisted shape and the combination of flowers and spikes really makes an interesting look. also for this shoes you need one of the new viewers because of the lace on the sides, the alpha layer should be usable.This shoes come for sure with the HUD too so you can change colors and skin as you like and need ๐Ÿ™‚

Up next we have “Predator” one of my personal favourites… if I would have to choose… thank god I do not have to as I really love all of them *grins*. For this one you only can change the color of the flash on the sides and the nails and for sure the skin tone ๐Ÿ™‚

The heels are extremely high and you really have to practice walking on that shoes, but if you made it…you will be the star on every event*winks* The black is broken by awesome silver and shining parts. Really an eye catcher!

This pair of shoes caught my eyes…with the open back. The possibility to change the texture of the basic shoe and also the straps and the “gems” in front,ย  make it possible to match every outfit.

Also the nails are color changable. With the HUD that Mea Culpa gives to the shoes you are not only able to change to set colors for the nails or the skin. For the color change you have also – beside the set colors – a big color change square, so you can really match every color you need for example for the nails!

“Domantic” is has a very interesting shape. The ankles are covered by a lovely leather looking texture that can be changed in colors and the strap over the toes will always follow in color ๐Ÿ˜‰

The front is closed by lines and in the back you have tiny sharp spikes. Careful gentlemen ๐Ÿ˜‰ Do not provocate a lady wearing that shoes ๐Ÿ˜‰

The skin and nails can be changed to match your avatar and outfit.

“Imagination” look like the ‘rebel sister’ of the “Domantic”

They have the same great features as the ‘good girl sister’ but the heel is a very special one. This flash looking heel really caught me as you can show the little fashion rebel inside you.. what suits me sometimes ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also we have 3 little straps added what give the whole shoe a different flair to the other one.

My last pair of Mea Culpa shoes for today is called “Prestige”. For me this one works perfect for pants also not just for the wonderful dresses and gowns;) I fell in love with the shape of the heels of this pair of shoes.

Not as spikey as for example the “Imagination” but it shoes of character also ๐Ÿ˜‰ All the buckles and straps again show of the love and eye for the detail we all know from Mea Culpa ๐Ÿ™‚

With this amazing shoes you will be always dressed right and show off your sense for fashion and the love to dare to style very stylish ๐Ÿ™‚

So make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and choose the pair that suits you and your style best… or even more than one ๐Ÿ˜‰

Maven Haus – Fresh, young, modern, avantgarde!

I had the great honor to meet Elaera Maven, owner and designer of Maven Haus as I stopped by at his store. He was very kind and showed me around. I have to say..amazing creations! Very high fashion and couture and each piece something special!

I am happy that I can show you a few of his amazing designs today ๐Ÿ™‚ In the first pic we see a combination of the “Whole lot of Sass” and one of his great pairs of leggings called “Aquatic” for the color.

The dress is mainly made of a beautiful lace. only the hem of the skirt has a solid texture that is mixed with different colors and shades. to cover the private sots of the chest there is a t-shirt layer added ๐Ÿ˜‰ I chose to wear the “Aquatic” leggings to that cause the colors matched perfect to the texture of the bottom of the skirt ๐Ÿ™‚

The skin is one of the newest releases of Maven Haus. “Chamelon” is this colorful creation called and shows that even colors can be high fashion and couture!

The second dress is called “The Waiting Widow”…

A long elegant dress basically made of 2 prim attachments… the skirt and the corset with the huge neck collar. The skirt is made of many amazing ruffles that give the extra ordinary touch. In opposite the corset and the neck collar are made straight. The ruffles are repeated on the little necklace looking black part round the neck and on the top of the chest.

The skin I used for this outfit is also a creation of Maven Haus and one of the group gifts that are located on the left sat the store if you enter. It is named “Frostbite” and is a great combination of grey, black and white for the makeups and lips.

If it comes to accessories, Maven Haus also provides extravagant ones like the “Pearl Moncole”. A sweet monocle that is available in different color combinations. I used for this post the ‘silver – black’ version, but it comes in many different options in black, gold and silver for the basic and different combinations for the top part.

As Iย  was mentioning before, Maven Haus has great group gifts also… I cannot skip them ๐Ÿ˜‰

The great “Splash” dress is one single prim that makes the whole dress and unbelievable but true… it is a gift for the group members! Also the great “Vertigo” leggings, you can see in my last pic. With the great “Frostbite” skin, whats also a group gift you have a full outfit and just have to add hairs and shoes and you are ready to go out as a real fashionista ๐Ÿ˜‰

Maven Haus is definitely a brand I will have a close eye on in the future and I am excited what creations he will bring next!

“Amanda” is the new gown called and here we have the black version. The whole dress is a very sexy and tight one that goes wider at the very bottom. The skirt parts itself are wonderful flexible. The tight skirt and top accent lovely the well-shaped body. The black is broken with beautiful golden textures like you can see at the very bottom of the skirt.

The chest part is made of a wonderful golden ornamented texture. Again Poulet Koenkamp shows her amazing skills and ideas on this gown and her love for the detail. The lights and shadows are carefully and perfect set to give the gown a very realistic look.

Also part of the outfit is that amazing little clutch. The colors are repeatedย  in that purse and also the golden texture of the chest part is part of the clutch. Even for that little accessorie PurpleMoon shows that they really work into the very detail.

Hair-Mania at Baiastice!!!

In one of my last posts I had the great new Baiastice skin “Pulchra” with the red hair attachment and hairbase (->here). But I wanted to give all the new hairstyles an extra place on my blog and also show different colors ๐Ÿ˜‰ For today we have the new releases, or better the whole collection of the new Baiastice hair attachments…

Lets start with the 8 latest releases here shown in blonde. “Giselle” a smart and short ponytail for daily use. The ears are free and let much room for earrings. “Eva” is a very long and sexy ponytail. This extra long hair will turn heads and it is amazing flexible. “Melita” is a sweet girly hairstyle that also goes to nearly every outfit. Sweet wisps cover the sides and peek to the front view. “Ingrid again is more smart and a bit more huge then “Giselle”. Perfect for all the girls that love the wilder look.

And we keep the ‘wild thing’ style with “Spagna” and Spagna 2″ “Spagna decorates your back head as a lion’s mane. Dreamy flexible it follows every movement! “Spagna 2” is close to the “Spagna” hairstyle but it goes more to the side as a non symmetric style. “Vizzy” has wonderful color decorations added to the short knot on the backside of the head and on the fore head as sweet bangs. “Wilma” is one that I like a lot. A non symmetric long ponytail with a wonderful knot in the beginning. It is perfectly flexi and follows every move that you do.

A bit longer available are the following hairstyles that I snapped in black…

“Isis” has 2 different sizes in the pack. The one you can see here and one that s a bit smaller. The cool mane is made flexi and it looks very cool if it moves after you ๐Ÿ˜‰ย  “Woopi” goes with all kind of outfits, anyways if casual or formal. The ponytail is close to the back of the head and the bottom end in made flexible. “Marie” perfect for every dress or gown, but also for every casual like a cool jeans outfit. “Malvi”ย  would take you a lot of time if you would have to style it in RL *winks* the amazing arrangement is a little piece of art on the back of your head.

The same counts for “Agnes”… anyways what style this hair style always will fit. With “Xena we again have an awesome non symmetric ponytail in a lightly tube shape. The bottom is flexi made. “Boop” is the perfect hairstyle for an elegant gown. The big ribbon on the top and the wonderful updo in the back make this hairstyle an absolute extravagant and elegant one. “Shepa” is a wonderful straight hairstyle like a knot butย  way bigger to the back. It goes lightly up at the end and makes it to something special. I like this one especially for geometric, avant-garde and straight stylings.

“Fiona” again is some for the smart and wild girls who dare to be different. the back-end is flexible and it goes really sweet into the forehead. “Eolion” again is kinda knot on the back of your head but it goes out to the back. the beginning looks wrapped around and the end very complicated twisted… simply great ๐Ÿ™‚ “Lucrezia” again is a perfect updo for every elegant dress or gown. “Moira”, the long high ponytail for all who love long hairs. It falls down awesome in the back and starts higher on the back top of the head.

With “Carla” we have the classic knot that we all know from ballet or business outfits. “Donatella” is decorated with an amazing hairband. The hairband is modifiable and you can change the colors if needed. “Magda” looks close to “Lucrezia” but it is not that far in the back and you have sweet wisps that decorate the front of the head. “Arisa” is the classic wild ponytail. Not flexi made you will never loose the style ๐Ÿ˜‰

I am sure, you will find your favourite hairstyle if you make your way to the Baiastice beauty shop. All hair styles are available in black, different blond, red and brown shades.
