Incredible Autumn News by Tres Beau!!!

by

Yesterday I had the great honor to judge at the Styling Forward contest with Frolic Mills and Kimmera Madison. It was great fun and we saw some  cool Halloween stylings. After the show, Kimmera, Edi and me, talked a while and had fun in some pose stores. During that time Kimmera gave me 2 of her new designs. Not long after I excused myself and went into my dark corner to look at the outfits… WOW!!! Both are incredible great and so perfect for the actual season! I was sitting over my inventory to find a few things to style this wonderful outfits quite a while, but then it looked like I wanted it to be :p …

The first you can see in the pic above is called “Flight”. The huge feather collar inspired me to use the great face tattoo from Miamai that reminded me of some feathers of dark birds as well. That brought me on those 2 crows and the dead tree in the back ;). The lipstick was made by Oceane and the earrings are one of my longtime favourite, the “Vivienne” earrings made by yula Finesmith. The boots and the hat are as well part of that amazing “Flight” outfit of Tres Beau!!!

The second outfit for today as well from Tres Beau will be the “Meryl” dress in red…

On this dress you again can see Kimmera’s skills and possibilities if it comes to designing. The beautiful corsage has a handpainted texture as usual for Tres Beau clothing. That for me it makes it very special, as you really can see nearly every brush line, that is needed to make such a wonderful and unique texture! I only can imagine how long it takes to draw and paint such a filigree texture. What I always adored on Kimmera’s work is that the textures seem to move with the avatar… the texture hardly gets stretched weird or destroyed while my pixels move. The awesome sheer skirt as well is a pice of art if you see how it moves with the avatar. The  right flexibility and moving time to let it look really real. The 2 big ornaments at the left hip and the head make amazing eyecatchers and give an extra touch of elegnance to the whole outfit. If you visit the Tres Beau Mainstore you will find a lot more of the amazing creations of Kimmera Madison and I am sure you will as well find one for you 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 09/28/2011

Yesterday before my LeeZu shift I was thinking about what I could wear. I went to my LeeZu part of my wardrobe and after 2 hours… yes the LeeZu part is not small *grins… I came across a really beautiful gown that I was not wearing for quite sometime. I pulled it our of the wardrobe and put it on. “A Mon Insu” is a very elegant and still playful gown with all the cute ruffles and roses. And as I anyways was in an elegant mood from my last post, I really enjoyed styling this wonderful gown ;). For the jewelry I chose the earrings and necklace of the “Giz” set from Finesmith Designs. The skin is one of the new Glam Affair skins called “Gio”. For the hair I searched some to repeat the ruffle and rose theme of the gown and my choice fell on the “Cileste” hair, made by Bliss Couture. Even if you cannot see the shoes on the pic, I have to tell, that it was the “ChiChi” pumps in black from Maitreya as I loved them so much with their sweet crossed lines ;). Last look in the mirror to check… perfect! Lets go to LeeZu and work my shift as usual at Wednesday 11AM SLT 😉

“Jenie” – The new mesh gown by Angel Dessous!

by

Mesh more and more enters Second Life. And Nando Korobase, designer of Angel Dessous works hard on more and more mesh outfits… with a great success it seems if I look at the latest release – the “Jenie” gown.

“Jenie” is available in different versions for the texture and I am sure you will find yours if you make your way to the Angel Dessous Mainstore. The slim dress makes a wonderful shape and the added floating skirt prims give a wonderful elegant touch. A sweet eyecatcher is the wonderful brooche that comes in black or silver with every verion of the gown. All versions are made in differnt black and white shades.

As I was talking to Nando lately, we were joking around a bit and came across all the crazy stylings that I made with his outfits and I promised him to do some pictures as a good girl with classy stylings :p. The “Jenie” gown was perfect for this experiment 😉 I hope I did succeed… 🙂 and could proove, that I am not only the weird, crazy Wicca and can do differnt… if I want to :p

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 🙂

For example the “Gabrielle Sweater and Pants” that I am wearing for this blog post. This combination is perfect in colors and style for the actual season. The great paisley printed fabric is, as always, hand printed by Journey herself. She has such a perfectionism that every of her creations are a little piece of art.

Miamai – A special dress for a special cause!!!

by

Monica Outlander:

“What happens when you ask a five year old self ordained Princess “What’s your dream gown, Raven?” Well of course you get the response of “PINK AND SPARKLY AND HEARTS AND PINK AND BUTTERFLIES AND MORE PINK AND BALLERINNAAAAAA!”
Luckily I’m *also* deep down a five year old self ordained Princess really, and my favourite things also happen to be pinksparklyheartybutterflyeyballerina stuff too. And so Raven Sparklefairy ordained that this gown be created, and who am I to argue with royalty? I hope that the little girl inside you gets as big a thrill out of this dress as we both did.

The Raven Sparklefairy gown was also made as a special 100% fundraising item to the Extend A Helping Hand charity now happening; this wonderful event run by Sanura Sakai is providing immediate disaster relief to the victims of the floods that are currently devastating Queensland in Australia.

Why am I involved? There is a family in Australia that have adopted me through Second Life, through a beloved friend of mine and although they aren’t anywhere near the affected state, they are still saddened by the news. And there isn’t a better way to cheer up a little girl than to make her dreams come to life, especially when those dreams result in one of the cheeriest things I’ve ever made.
At the moment Raven Sparklefairy – named after the little girl and her title – is only available at the EAHH location, but afterwards will be added to the permanent Black Label designs at Miamai.
Because the Princess demands it.”
