Walk like an Egyptian with Finesmith Designs!

by

One set of Finesmith Designs caught me for longer and I had something in mind about styling that I did not find all the time. I wanted to do something special for the “Egyptian” set and lately I came across something I really liked 😉

The “Egyption” set it self contains The fabulous headpiece, the skirt with the long train, nipple shields, necklace, earrings and the incredible eye ornament. With all this parts the “Egyptians set is not only a jewelry set, it is a full outfit where you just have to add hair and shoes and a skin of your likings, for sure you can wear this with your usual skin as well I just was tempted with this golden one I found in a sale at VUI. The hair comes from Purplemoon including the hair base and it is called “Cat” in golden wheat. I chose some golden boots for it that anyways not show in this pics, so anyways :p. The “Egyptian” for me is the total proove of how creative and genius yula Finesmith is. Her endless heart and soul of creativity never will be empty and I am sure she writes history in the SL fashion world with her amazing creations… I saw my new Inspiration set a week ago even longer, it is just a secret till the official release… but I can tell you I never ever before saw jewelry thats so me! Yula puts in so much time, soul, love and effort in this inspiration sets and the turn out so amazing and unique! You really should try the Finesmith Inspirations Muse castings and if it is only to work close with one of the most amazing people in Second Life – yulaFinesmith ! For the perfect posing of the “Egyptian” set I used poses from Body Talking made by Arisia Ashmoot out of the “Mr Egypt” set that you as well can use for females 🙂

There will be a 50% refund on all and everything that you buy between 12PM SLT and 3PM SLT. The designer himself will be in the store and make sure you get your 50% back 🙂

Who knows if you will ever again have the chance to get a Mea Culpa gown for 50% of the original prize!!! But that is not all… For all that have the Mea Culpa Mainstore in their pics section on their profiles, Tatanka Kaligawa designed a sweet, amazing anniversary dress that he will give a way for free to celebrate his first birthday. You will find that dress at the “Get your shopping card” board including a 10% discount card for another purchase.

But now let’s have a closer look on the dress I stole out of his laboratory to give you a sneak preview…

This dress is such a sweet idea to celebrate the first birthday of Mea Culpa. The short dress is a shows off very sexy the long legs and the texture of the clothing layers have an awesome shine. It is like you can feel the sun reflecting on each part of the dress. The shoulder prims add a light playful touch and the ornament on the chest make a lovely highlight. The neck collar as well is made as an attached prim. For me the hat is a total eye catcher. It looks like a neat umbrella that is directly worn on the head and so the name of the dress that I could see on a little piece of paper totally first for this design. “Sugar Candy” MeaCulpa‘s first anniversary dress is named and I am sure you will not miss it to get your “Sugar Candy” on Thursday the 21st at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!!!

Thetra Blackheart:”RavenNoire  is created for the sensual, classic, and mysterious woman.  The bodice was designed so that it  entices the eye to wonder and explore every  curve and dimension of her being.  The elegance and movement of the dress show great detail its unique design and allow for a trace of mystery and wonder to the woman wearing it.  Shoes are magically matched to the gown  and the hair and accessories make for an elegant outfit that gives the ‘wow’ factor to anyone  who experiences it.”

Mayden Ushimawa:”To make the “Monica” dress I was inspired by a memorable evening of spring. The dominant color is white, this is a pure color and different from the usual formal dress. Lace makes the dress most elegant. The collar with plumes and the flexi skirt gives movement to the dress.

For the “Brian” outfit I took inspiration from the very beautiful RL models, with a perfect body and a face to be kissed all over. For this reason I created this outfit. It gives the impression of a man who has just escaped from a crowd of girls, a bit messy and not even having the time to wear his jacket.”

Marita Overland:”Wicca wears a lovely white gown consisting of a scuplted top and half skirt.  You can’t help but notice the stylish silver armor on the shoulders and waist along with a structured bow in the back.  As if the skirt wasn’t elegant enough, it glitters even more with a second layer of fabric.  The shoes are also included in this romantic, yet edgy, ensemble.

Harsch is wearing the “Romeo” version of the formal wear. A miliary style jacket and pants, in white and gray, are a wonderful compliment to his “Juliet”.  The jacket is adorned with a high collar, cuffs, armored shoulders and belt.  The boots are also included with the outfit you see here.  Seemingly for seeing his own fate, the belt includes the poison he will take his own life with and the dagger Juliet will use to perish herself. True love never looked so stylish.”

Wicca’s Wardrobe – Puzzle Styling in a Crazy Mood

by

For the very first “Claim the Fame” TV show I put together an outfit that I liked in the end so much that I decided it will become a Wicca’s Wardrobe styling 😉

Many people know my addiction to take different parts of ready mae outfits or even many single parts and put them together to make a new look out of them. The styling for this post exactly was such a ‘puzzle’ mood 😉 The pants are part of the Gizza “Diamond Catsuit” in silver. For the corset i chose one of Trilobite my favourite corset maker named “Leather V” in coal. The top… yes I name it top even if it is just  a bit more as a collar*giggles* comes from Kyoot Army and carries the name “Wilted Wednesday Vest”. The “Black Peahen” gloves by Glam Affair without the fingertips matched perfectly for the look I wanted to have. For the “Igaly Darkness” Boots by Eshi made a wonderful repeat of the look that the “Valeria” earrings from Finesmith Designs have – yes I so love that earrings ;). As well from Finesmith Designs are the “Draakje” nails that are only available in size 10. My hairstylist for this look was dianny3636 Aeon with her “Xia” hair attachment and the matching hairbase in black. The artist that made my wonderful tattoo was Shanea Parx from Wicked Tattoos. The skin is one of  my 2 actual favourite made by Glam Affair called ” Mary” in the light tone. The armlets I found at Rozoregalia as a part of the “Hydra” line.  For me a perfect everyday look for the crazy and daring fashionista 😉 The poses of the yellow pictures I got from Diconay Boa, genius designer of CORPUS poses. If you need poses for pictures or even poses that are out of the box you definitely should visit her store and take a look. The amazing “Cycle Dancer” of the pink picture I found as a prop in 3 different colors with 16 different poses at Posies.

Lexi Vargas, designer of  Brocade Tiger, brought a neat firework of amazing textures with the “clockwork” couple outfit that was not just formal in my view 😉 As well I saw a light steampunk touch in that as well what really touched my soul 😉

Lexi Vargas:”‘Lady Clockwork’, a striking formal gown in the Steampunk tradition. A three-layered skirt gives depth with two layers of striped fabric topped with a draped and partially jeweled top layer in the signature clock print fabric. The fitted, square necked bodice is a combination of the striped and print fabrics and the same theme carries into the beautifully shaped and traditionally fitted sleeves embellished with puffs at shoulder, elbow and wrist. The whole ensemble is drawn together by a semi opaque bow and drape effect that makes a dramatic silk waterfall down one side of the gown. Sure to be an eyecatcher at any formal event where Steampunk/Victorian dress is required.

The male model strikes a dashing note in ‘Lord Gear’, a formal outfit that has its roots steeped in Steampunk tradition. There is much attention to detail in this suit. A duel fabric jacket of chocolate leather and striped fabric skims the shoulder line, with the same effect carried into the pants. These clever styling details make for a simply stunning outfit. The jacket lapels and collar are decorated with gears and cogs and the pants with buckles and straps. A cream satin edged shirt with frilled jabot collar and brooch completes the look. This outfit could be worn at any suitable formal occasion enabling the wearer to stand out from the crowd and it would certainly delight any Steampunk gentleman worth his cogs.”

Inga Wind for “Claim the Fame” – Week 2 – Formal

All designs of the Claim the Fame Shows are available at the KULT District (for surl please click here)

Inga Wind, Designer of Inga Wind Designs, started with “Penelope” and “Bartelby”, a wonderful details and lovely looking couple outfit.

Inga Wind:”Penelope” is an amazing blue formal dress. The basic is made in a non symmetrical manner that makes a bare right shoulder while the left shoulder is decorated with an amazing detailed sculpted prim. The top layer has a very elegant texture that is broken by an awesome lace stripe that runs diagonal from the right upper to the left hip.
The skirt as well continues the non symmetric look. On the left side it goes further down with a wonderful ornamented sheer texture that is framed by an opaque looking satin border and the left is lightly shorter.
Gloves, shoes and the lovely headpiece come with the whole outfit so you have no trouble to match the right color and look.

“Bartelby” was made to match “Penelope” perfectly. The black basic makes a wonderful tailcoat with amazing flexible prims in the back, where the seams carry the same texture that you already saw on “Penelope” as well the little neat bow tie. The white shirt shows off folds and shadows in a very realistic way. Collar, bow tie, cuffs and Sleeves are made of sculpted prims what ad as well a very realistic touch. The black pants complete the elegant male look and the sash round the waist again shows off the amazing blue texture decorated with filigree ornaments and buttons.
“Penelope” & “Bartelby” are the perfect couple for the perfect couple :)”
