LOTD 05/08/2014 – Charlie Chaplin’s little sister?

by

Gizza Chaplina 001

Sometimes it is fast and easy. You see something and immediately have a picture in mind what it should look like when you wear it. Exactly this I had with the “Suspenders Outfit” from GizzA. I was trying the ‘Dotty’ version and in the moment I put it on I had the vision of Charlie Chaplin. I have no clue why… maybe it was the amazing retro, vintage looking dotted top, the cute suspenders or the pinstriped texture of the pants. So I tried to think about what the little sister of Charlie Chaplin would style up like :p

As mentioned before the “Suspenders Outfit” from GizzA comes with mesh pants and top, so all I had to find was hair, shoes and some makeup, since I did not wanna overdo it with jewelry, as it would  not have been appropriate in my opinion.

The shoe decision was fast. The “British Loafers” by Redgrave are one of my personal long time favourites and they add a light masculine touch to the look combined with the pants. For the hair I wanted to go with kind of a hat, but not a rel one when I remembered the “Bob Hair” from Bliss Couture. This hair had kinda an inbuilt hat made of hair and included in the actual hair style – perfect!

“I’ve done a lot

God knows I’ve tried

To find the truth

I’ve even lied

But all I know

Is down inside

I’m bleeding

And super heroes

Come to feast

To taste the flesh

Not yet deceased

And all I know

Is still the beast

Is feeding.

And crawling on the planets face

Some insects called the human race

Lost in time

And lost in space

And meaning.”

[Lyrics from the Rocky Horror Show]

Faster Pussycat 001

Lately I have kinda a black phase… Sure black is my favourite color even if it is not considered as a color :p, but usually I find a good balance between black outfits and others. But the cold outside, that dark mood of the beginning winter, the first snow… all that really pushes me even more towards black again.

Today I would like to showcase some goodies that I got while i had my RL moving going and could not yet blog about. The amazing dress is from Faster Pussycat. The “Varla” dress was released during the AVENUE Fashion Week this year and it really meets my likings ;). Usually I am not wearing a lot of dresses or gowns, even if I like elegant and classy looks as well ;). But the “Varla” dress made such a great basic for a styling, that I had in mind.  The Top with the amazing flower attachment and the sweet wave shaped skirt added a sweet and cute touch to the basic idea I had so I wanted to give it some strong and weird accessories to give it my personal touch. The boots are heavy plateau boots from Lapointe that you might consider more for a dark grunge or goth styling. But since I love controversy in stylings they made the perfect shoes for today.

The gloves are some super cool ones from N1CO. The “Claw” gloves are opaque gloves that have amazing short claws for the fingernails and some bangles attached to them as well. The “Claw Gloves” come with a HUD so you can change the color of the bracelets, the claws and even the little dots that are placed along the fingers.

The awesome hat is one of the Bliss Couture hats that I got in the past out of the still running closing sale. The amazing necklace is one of the mesh made jewelry collection from EMO-tions. The “Flair Necklace” was the perfect match for the dress and the shoulder parts from ISON, wich I found at one of those gacha fairs, because the collar style did not interfere too much with the outfit it self and still added some more gothic character to it.

Seasons of Couture – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

by

season of couture_1

For the June 2013 issue of the BoSL Magazine, I had the great pleasure to work with Natzuka again. Our fresh crowned MVW 2013, was always a person I adored for her photography skills and for the person she is. So you can imagine how happy I was, when Persia asked me if I would like to work with Natzuka for a spread for Seasons of Couture… for sure I would like, what a question!

season of couture_2

Seasons of Couture… what is that you might ask. Seasons of Couture is a special project by BoSL & Co. Over 20 of the best designers on the grid, created RL inspired seasonal styles. At the Seasons of Couture you can get the designs for 30% off the retail price, but only a 100 of each. After that 100 they will go with the regular prize to the designers Mainstores.

season of couture_3

So Natzuka and me went to the Seasons of Couture store at the Renaissance Galleria. She was supposed to do the pictures and I thought she will choose the ones, that go best together for the pictures. As she asked me wich ones I liked the most… I totally was surprised and super happy and for sure 2 black designs by Azull Ash and  YK jumped into my eyes, as my most favourite color is black. Natzuka chose 2 great contrast colors to the black by ghee and SoliDea FoliEs and I got more and more excited what the pics will look like. She showed me some ideas of RL graphics and pictures, what she had in mind and my jaw dropped down. The ideas looked amazing and with Natzuka’s skills I was sure, if someone can pull that out, it is her. But we still needed 2 more outfits to make a total of 4 pics, with always the both of us and it really was a hard choice with all the amazing creations that we saw. All of a sudden Natzuka pointed on a pink dress and I saw her face expression… she looked lightly evil with a huge grin as her finger pointed towards a wonderful design of Bliss Couture but in pink! I got scared… she knows my pink allergy and I really thought she wanna torture me, but her face became all smooth and nice again, as she said: “I like this one” and my muscles relaxed again. She looked further and asked me what I think about a light green even some teal looking color to the pink and pulled me towards a design of Sonatta Morales. I thought it is a tough combination but if she can see it in front of her inner eye, I trust her. You can see exactly that combination on the picture above and it was one of the most amazing pictures I ever saw, so yes this woman really knows her job and I again got proved it did right by trusting her. For the last picture she decided to go on a gold and white combination, a very elegant one by Countdown and Azull Ash. If I look over all this 4 pictures I guess we found a real nice mixture that show, how many different styles you can find at the Seasons of Couture. Anyways if formal, elegant, avantgarde, casual or what ever you look for, you always will find something that matches your styling ideas.

For the credits of the outfits you can take a look at the actual BoSL Magazin (http://magazine.thebestofsl.com/fashion/june-2013)

Thanks a lot Persia for the opportunity <3

Thanks so much Natzuka, for this incredible amazing pictures and the time we spent for making them. It is always fun to work or hang out with you 🙂

The Fashion Teller presents: Murder, My Sweet

Bring me back to life

by

TUNES

Today I was again in a strange mood. As I yesterday started to style the new “Aphrodisia” dress from Fellini Couture, I had something romantic lightly vintage with a huge hat in mind. I have no clue why, but while I was entering SL and staring at the login screen, that always shows you your last picture I came across a totally different vision.

Maybe it had to do as well that I listened to one of my favourite bands the whole day. One song of Evanescence was very close to me for a long time. That’s why I linked “Bring me back to life” in the beginning as it kinda was a huge part of my inspiration for the pictures and look.

But now lets take a look on the wonderful “Aphrodisia” dress from Fellini Couture and the whole look around it. The “Aphrodisia” dress is a white and very romantic dress with lots of amazing and different textures. The mixture of filigree lace, the opaque ornamented parts and the flowers makes this dress to a little piece of art. Joy Fellini again shows why she is on top of the SL fashion scene for such a long time with her genius ideas and incredible skills.

Right beside on top of the fashion heaven, we have yula Finesmith, owner and designer of Finesmith. She released not too long ago a wonderful male collection and the parts I am wearing today I took out of this one. I did not see any reason, if males can wear female jewelry, why the girls cannot wear the male jewelry :p. I just had to resize the “Heartology” necklace for sure as it was way bigger for a males neck :). The “Heartology” wings I took like they are without any changes.

The awesome hat is part of the “Halloween Horror Collection” if hats from Bliss Couture. Amutey DeCuir made a super cool hat collection for Halloween 2011 and I see no reason why we cannot use them during the year if it matches :p.

Maybe if you look at the pics while you hear the song you can get a part of my mood that I had, while I was doing this pictures. The first time I dared to make my own fog and parts of the hair and I am amazed what came out after all this hours between looking at tutorials, reading advises and try & error 🙂 For sure it is not the end of the scale, but a wonderful new start for me to work on even more pictures 🙂

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Netherlands 2012 by Bliss Couture

by

The wonderful formal gown for Miss Netherlands 2012 was made by Bliss Couture. Amutey DeCuir again showed her amazing skills for formal and elegant  gowns and designs. The dress she made for Miss Draakje Daily, our Miss Netherlands 2012, and she shined at the Miss Virtual World 2012 contest. The bodice is made of very delicate lace fabrics, the ornaments are so filigree and detailed and the light and sheer ruffles make a great frame for the beautiful bodice. The bodice has a pain open back so a lot of skin is shown from the back view what just underlines the sexy touch of the whole gown dreamy. The gloves matching the gown are as well part of the outfit. The skirt gives the whole gown a sexy touch, too. The back is long to the ground and the front is short and makes an amazing open front to show off you long and well-shaped legs 😉

The aerial fabric of the skirt, totally matches the delicate lace of the bodice and it again underlines why Bliss Couture always was one of the top addresses for elegant and sophisticated designs.
The wonderful “Drakje” gown you can get now at the Bliss Couture Mainstore.

The jewelry Miss Draakje Daily took from Chop Zuey. The wonderful “Octopussy” bracelet and earrings in white. The set you can get in single part at the Chop Zuey Mainstore.

And there it is, the second of the winning gowns of Miss Virtual World 2012 – Anna Sapphire! With the “Miss Virtual World 2012” gown, Amutey DeCuir again showed her genius skills for elegant, sophisticated and tasteful designs. Bliss Couture always was elegance and taste to the very last detail to me. The genius ideas of Amutey DeCuir, owner and designer of Bliss Couture, again and again amazed me, as she never went boring or just redid her gowns – No, she always developed them new and outdid her self again and again. So no wonder she designed the perfect evening gown for our new fashion & beauty queen for 2012. The huge skirt of the “Miss Virtual World 2012” gown is amazingly flexible and the smooth and glossy, huge skirt is an awesome basic for the incredible chiffon ruffles of the top part. The ruffles again show the incredible designing and texturing skills of Amutey DeCuir, with all the shadows and lights that she put on there you only can imagine how long she sits on every gown she makes. The gloves with the little prim on the upper end add even more elegance to the whole gown. If you just once wanna get the feeling of wearing a MVW 2012 winning gown… make your way to the Bliss Couture Mainstore and safe your “Miss Virtual World 2012” gown 😉

The jewelry again comes from Finesmith.

The whole set has little beautiful flowers showing up again and again. even the little earrings and the headpiece, wich is made of 2 parts as well, show this awesome little and filigree flowers.

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss France 2012 by GizzA

by

Lauren Mureaux, Miss France 2012, asked Giz Seom, owner and designer of GizzA, to make her national gown. If I take a look at this wonderful gown, she made a great choice… GizzA worked the whole gown in the colors of France, blue, red and white. The red and blue is brought in very delicate in the wonderful huge train. It kinda looks, as if this 2 colors were alive as with every move the train shows up in a nother shade. Sometimes you have the red and blue more and then with the next move it seems again as you have the less, sadly I could not catch that in my picture as it is kinda motion. The basic color is white what makes the whole design very sophisticated for me. the huge flowers add a very special elegant touch to the whole design. The beautiful “L’amour Pur” gown is now available for us all at the GizzA Mainstore.
