Official Gown of Miss Benin for EOE 2012 by Styles by Danielle

The “Lynxa”gown was made for Essence of Ebony 2012 contest and was worn by Miss Benin – Lynxa on the final day.
The original color – orange with yellow and green represents the country of Benin, and not only by the colors and fabrics, but with the style as well.
The hat is an inseparable part of a Benin folk dress and for Lynxa it has been especially crafted here in SL.
The real eye-catcher on this gown is the golden texture. Gold is, for sure, the hardest one to reproduce in SL, and Dani Plassitz, owner and designer of Styles by Danielle,ย  has tried her best to make you shine like the sun.
Every detail of the dress is carefully put together. The front jewel and the back sheer fabric are modifiable for you to perfectly adjust it to your shape. The skirts attached to legs come with the special resizer that can resize in any direction. This is especially helpful if your av is very tall or very small.
The “Lynxa Gold” jewelry set that is made especially to complete this gown.
The rhombus and gems resemble the fabric design, and the gold shine is underlined by the texture itself.
The set is transferable and it consists of: necklace, two bracelets, earrings and the ring worn on the index finger.

A secret walk with a not yet released dress…

A few days ago I was visiting Herradura Baar, dear and long time friend of mine. We had a nice talk with coffee and cake. After spending some hours ranting and gossiping I needed to find the bathroom. She told me to leave the room and the 2 times right and I will find it.

I passed her sleeping room as suddenly something jumped into my eyes… there was a box on the bed… it looked as it was opened short before, kinda like I disturbed Herra as I arrived. I opened the door a bit more and peeked closer… the box had Journey McLaglen as sender on it. Now my explorer spirit took over. It looked like a new idea of Journey for Prism, that she sent to Herra like always to ask for her opinion… my brain was working hard… what could I do to try it. I left the box and went to the bathroom still thinking…

As I came back, I had an idea…

I passed Herra’s sleeping room again and quietly I snatched the new dress and pushed it into my bag… thank got I had chosen one of the bigger ones of PurpleMoon that I found in the ‘Dress Me Purple Hunt’ (yes I will post that soon as well :p). I went back to the living room and told a weird story about a text message on my phone about my dog and told her I will be back in a bit. I left her house and nearly ran to my car.

After I drove a few minutes I reached a small wood and it looked lonely and quiet. I stopped the car and pulled the dress out of my bag. There was a little label on it at the bottom that said “Prism – Yoko”. I tried it on and it really looks amazing. Parts are made with the new mesh technique and the textures are incredible great and detailed like always for Prism. It really was hard to get this amazing dress off again, but I had to bring it back. After another 15 minutes I was back in the car and on the way back to Herra’s house. For thank god I was able to put the dress back where I found it, Herra did not yet notice something, as she was cleaning the cups we used for the coffee before. So better keep an eye on the upcoming Prism releases… I am sure “Yoko” will be out soon!

Simplicity is the key! – NYU prooves it!

Nyunyu Kimono: “NYU. Minimalistic high fashion luxury outfits and accessories for men and women. Less is more. Simple is beautiful.”

We all know Nyunyu Kimono from different projects… she was with Maritima, she creates wonderful sculpts and now finally she started her own brand for clothing. NYU is one of the best proves that simplicity is the key for so often. Her creations are wonderful textured and perfect arranged. No prim too much and not one too less.

For her debut she gave me a few wonderful mesh creations like the “Michelle Dress” that you can see in the first picture and the “Tube Dress” that you can see on the second. Both are the perfect basic for a wonderful casual and elegant chic. I am very curious what she will bring out next and I can promise that I already got a few more that I soon will showcase on my blog ๐Ÿ™‚

If you can not wait or wanna buy some of her amazing new designs… visit the NYU Mainstore ๐Ÿ™‚

Wicca’s Wardrobe: YAY! I made it :) – Finale Outfit for H.O.R. Casting

(Picture by House of Rage)

House of Rage was holding a casting for new models for their staff. As I adore House of Rage for a while, I dared to enter the challenge ๐Ÿ™‚ For the first round we got an outfit we had to style and do a picture from. That style I already posted a few ago ๐Ÿ™‚ (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/wiccas-wardrobe-my-look-for-the-house-of-rage-casting/). We got the outfit at the House of Rage Mainstore and had to put our own touch to it with accessories. I really liked that idea as all have the same basics to begin with. As I was told that I made it with a few others to the next round I was happy like a child on christmas ;). For the finale round of the casting we were told to develop our own look with the wonderful creations of House of Rage. I went to the H.O.R. Mainstore and looked around a while, not really able to decide only one outfit. With my addiction to mix and match I came on the idea just to combine a few different outfits and make my own look out of it. As I arrived at the casting I really became nervous. I did not know if it was right to mix and match different H.O.R. outfits or if they wanted to see a full outfit only. I saw all the other contestants and they looked fabulous, thatย  made me even more nervous :p

With my name for sure I again was last to walk out :). We first had to walk our styling of the first round and then in another walk the new one. At the end of the runway, Topaz and Lovely waited on us and we had a short interview at the end of our second walk. Both were very nice and kind and made it easier for us and as well they took some of my nervousness :).

A few days later we got the result on a wonderful picture (the one I started the post with), a really nice idea to show results of a casting ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you so much Topaz, Lovely, Lybra and Nox for making a dream come true and be a part of House of Rage ๐Ÿ™‚

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss USA 2012 by Azul & Alienbear

So it seems today I will have my last Miss Virtual World 2012 gown ๐Ÿ™‚ The competition is already 3 month over now but the stunning and beautiful gown of Miss VW USA 2012, Miss Michaela Benazzi, made by Mami Jewell, owner and designer of Azul, could not be missed in my MVW 2012 gown series ๐Ÿ™‚

The “Michaela” gown like you can see it on the picture is the original version , that Miss Michaela Benazzi was wearing on the MVW 2012 runway. Mami Jewell created more colors and a fully cream-white version for all those who do not like the white-blue-red combination ๐Ÿ™‚ The wonderful top is made with such lovely details, like lights, shadows and folds that you nearly can feel the sating that is wrapped round your upper body. The flowers are a wonderful decoration that hold the blue and red flexible lines that fall down in an amazing way. The delicate light white fabric that makes the skirt falls down in a dreamy flexible way to the ground. The skirt a well is ornamented at the bottom end and again shows how much love for the detail Mami Jewell puts in her designs. The “Michaela” gown you can purchase in many different colors at the Azul Mainstore.

The wonderful elegant jewelry was made my Alienbear Gupte, genius designer of Alienbear. She totally picked up the white-blue-red theme combines with the roses and created a wonderful filigree and sophisticated set, called “Michaela”. The incredible crown is made of 3 parts that you just add one after another. The necklace is made of 2 parts and the earrings and bracelet only take one attachment spot. Alienbear again showed that she is one of the most skilled jewelry designers in SL if it comes to ideas, designs and texturing. Her jewelry always makes every person wearing it at least a princess for one evening ๐Ÿ™‚ So make your way to the Alienbear Mainstore and see what is new beside the “Michaela” set.
