Wicca’s Wardrobe – Thank you Yula :)

by

Lately Xenobia Foxclaw had a great idea… she asked all the Finesmith models to think about their favourite Finesmith Designs set, snap it, write a few words about and posted them on the Finesmith Designs Blog. It was really hard to decide but in the end this was my contribution to it 😉

“As I was asked to pic my favourite Finesmith jewelry pieces, I did not think not too long and said “Yes sure, gimme a few minutes”…
…but then I was going over and over my Finesmith pieces and found out … it is harder then I thought to find my “favourite”, because if I woudl add all the ones I call my favourites one picture would not be enough 😉
So I was thinking, to wich piece I have the most personal relationship…
It was a huge honor for me to be chosen as one of the Finesmith Muse 2011. All of the finalists got a signature Inspiration set that carries our name. Yula put in so much time, effort and love in each piece she created. She tried to make for each of us a very personal set that mirrors our style and personality. For that she took time for each of us for talking to know us better and find out more about each finalist.
To honor all that she did and because she catched myself so much in the “Wicca” inspiration set I chose to wear it as my personal favourite.
Thank you Yula and the whole Finesmith Family, for a place in Second Life that I really can call home and family :)”

News of the latest collection of Glam Affair!

by

Glam Affair again made a great new line of outfits for every kind of event 😉 One blog post will not even be enough to show them all in the right light. So I decided to make a 2 part story out of it 🙂 My first outfit for this post will be “Ginevra”, a wonderful casual pants outfit. Very chic and autumn like it is the perfect dress for the actual season. The light pnats make a wonderful contrast to the black blouse. This black blouse has such wonderful detailed ruffles and folds… really amazing and they add a touch of elegance to the casual overal.”Ginevra” can be found in othecolor combinations as well at the Glam Affair Mainstore.

To bring a little bit of color into the autumn season the “Orchid” top is the right choice. I picked the pink one for this blog post but you can find as well more awesome fall colors at Glam Affair. The lights and shadows are set so perfect to make the blouse look realistic, that you nearly wanna grab one of this buttons if you wanna take off the blouse again 😉 The high neck part is a total “in” for this autumn. The huge black belt breaks the basic color in a beautiful way and leads perfect to the black “Linn” pants with the grand ruffles at the left and right upper leg.

Now we leave the casual side a bit and go more into the chick direction with the wonderful “Ibis” outfit that I again combined with the “Linn” pants as I liked the ruffles of the pants so much to the huge side parts of the “Ibis” body.

This totally black shaded combination would be perfect for a night out or even some fashion event 😉

“Fiona” is a very sexy outfit of the new Glam Affair collection and an outfit even Lady Gaga would die for maybe :p. Very sexy with the sheer body and very stylish with the short skirt and the huge bow as a dreamy neck collar 🙂 With the Lady Gaga stylings in mind, I could not resist to wear the new mesh Slink  “Leather Thigh Highs” 😉

“Sora” looks close to “Fiona” for the belly and waist part, but the top is way more closed and opaque and the big bow is not worn at the neck… it makes a wonderful eye catcher at the backside! The collar and wrist parts again made of incredible cute and detailed ruffles and folds like we had it for the “Ginevra” outfit. For me “Sora” would be the total “turn heads” on every fashion event :). As I said, that’s just the first post of the new Glam Affair line, as I wanted to give every outfit the right spot and attention it earned 🙂

LOTD 09/29/2011 with Fellini Couture

by

Yesterday I met Joy Fellini – talented designer and owner of Fellini Couture –  on one of her secret shopping tours… nope I will not tell where :p… and she gave me one of her latest releases – “Z”. Such an awesome creation with a lovely zebra print all over the dress. The huge ruffles on the sides are made in a sheer lace fabric and make an awesome contras to the opaque dress it self. What really caught my eyes were the zebra tinted claws that decorate the chest and the huge headpiece that as well has this awesome claws that hold it on the head. The bracelets and the collar are as well part of the outfit. For the earrings I used the “Noir” earrings from Finesmith Design, and the shoes are made by epoque. For me the “Z” dress is definitely a must have for the modern fashionista. If you make your way to the Fellini Couture Mainstore you can take a look by yourself and as well see all the other amazing designs or Joy Fellini 🙂

Breathtaking News from Aleida!!!

by

Out of the press release:
“|Aleida| is pleased to offer her latest couture release, “The Bone Scarlet Pimpernel”, fresh off of the runway from its exclusive debut at BoSL Fashion Week.  This exquisite couture ensemble is as sexy as you dare to be with its asymmetrical skirt and arched floral caging.  Its fitted bodice hugs your amazing curves and the long gloves add instant elegance.  This sweeping look is capped with a graceful chapeau to help you maintain the feminine mystique. ”


The second dress as well was shown the first time at the BoSL Fashion Week 2011. “Life is a Chess” this incredible outfit is named and as you can see Aleida played with a lot of chessmen on this outfit. The basic colors black and white make a perfect illusion of a living chess board with all the chess pieces on it. The huge headpart carries them as well as the wonderful back train of the dress itself.

The mixture of the opaque chessmen and the floating lace make a perfect combination. The dress is made of a basic black fabric that open on the belly for a little chessboard 😉 Really a piece of Art!

The last outfit for today is the “Falling Apart Gown”. Also  the first time on the runway at the BoSL Fashion Week 2011. A total eyecatcher is the huge bow head piece and the beautiful sculpted skirt with all this little domino parts at the back.

All 3 designs are made very detailed and you can imagine how much time and effort were put in that dresses. Aleida is back with a big boom and awesome new designs. Watch out for her new Fall/Winter Collection 2011. This 3 dresses are only a little taste of what will come 🙂

New Fall Collection 2011 at Baiastice!!!

by

Sissy Pessoa, owner and designer of Baiastice released her actual Fall Collection 2011. So many awesome new releases that it really was hard to decide… but finally my choice fell on 2 outfits of the actual collection… for now :p

The first one, named “Praga”, totally catched my eyes. Very high fashion and unusual and definitely something that turns heads with the corset and skirt that are connected with sexy garters. The light, long-sleeved top makes a perfect contrast to the black tones. “Praga” is available in 4 different colors. To style it I chose shoes from N-Core, hair from LoQ and an amazing eye mask and earrings from Finesmith Design.

The second design, that caught my eyes was “Ethel”. A black short dress as well with a corset and huge shoulderparts. Of “Ethel” you will find 2 more awesome fall colors if you take a look at the Baiastice Mainstore. To make the look complete I took hair from Vanity Hair, shoes from Miamai and again jewelry made by Finesmith Design.

As well part of the Baiastice Fall Collection 2011 is a limited, special edition skin…

“Nina, a very light skin in the tone ‘porcelaine’ will only be available for a certain time…to show as much as possible of skin I just put on Ezura‘s “Avant Garde E.T.” outfit and skipped the prims.

“Nina” has 10 different makeups and comes without eyebrows… what made it finally possible to use my Nuuna’s Skins eyebrow makeups 🙂 The incredible black jewelry are parts of the Finesmith Design “Noir” Collection.

Also Sissy Pessoa created one of the new mesh dresses…

This awesome leather “Minix Dress” can be purchased in 5 more colors and is one of the wonderful new ‘mesh’ creations that require one of the new mesh viewers, other wise you are not able to see it. For this dress I chose the “Diconay” set by Finesmith Design.

To see the whole Fall Collection 2011 of Baiastice you can take a look at the Baiastice Mainstore 🙂

A laced gown with a big ‘veil’ made of straps from head to toe… a wonderful headpiece and a part that I would call face peace that comes down from the forehead over the eyes.

“Sudevi” can be purchased in different colors… best is you make your way to the House of Beningborough Mainstore and see by yourself 🙂

Wicca’s Wardobe: Weird moments in black and white – the second ;)

by

Ok I admit I stuck a while with my weird moments about stylings, but I have to admit it feels very nice to be allowed to do what you want 😉 The basic of this styling was one of the last “Claim the Fame” shows. The theme was Fantasy Avantgarde. Mostly I try to match the shows themes with my stylings and so this look came together.

The basic makes one of the Black & White skins, made by Nuuna Nitely, owner and designer of Nuuna’s Skins. The for sure with my addiction to Finesmith Designs, jewelry from yula Finesmith had to be part. The skirt part is from the “Saleena Inspiration” set. To cover up the private parts I chose to wear the “Maya” nipple shields and the “O collection 011” bracelets, as well from Finesmith. If you look closer you can see that I used the “Valeria Inspiration” earrings as well for the ears and I changed them in size and made me great wings out of them as well 🙂 The pants, the forehead pice and the feet parts I took from Eshi Otawara‘s “Flying Home” outfit. For the top I remembered one of my old-time favourites… the “Wilted Wednesday Vest” made by Kyoot. For the hair I chose one of the great hairstyles of 3636 Designs.

And now I will hide in the depth of my inventory again and see what I can come up next with 😉
