Dream of Summer with Petit Chat

by

PC & EMOtions full

Today I am very happy that I am allowed to showcase again one of Trinity Yazimoto’s little art pieces.

The “Dream of Summer” dress in pastel, is one of the summer releases of Petit Chat. The amazing red tones underline the darker end f the summer and its red tones symbolise for me, the beginning change of the season.

For the few last warm days of the summer this short mesh dress with the amazing and elegant looking neck collar are the perfect choice to enjoy the few last warm sun beams outside.

The wild and lightly messy hair gives the whole look a very smart and fresh look. The “Alex” hair from EMO-tions with the wild wisps in the front and the high ponytail in the back was perfect for the high neck collar of the “Dream of Summer” mesh dress.

I did not wanna wear too much jewelry as I am not a friend of over accessorizing anyways 😉 So I decided to just wear the “Cecilie” set from EMO-tions. This amazing and filigree set is just perfect for an everyday casual look. he set has a HUD, wich changes the gem and metal colors. For todays post I decided to go with copper metal and a red gem to match the “Dream of Summer” dress.

Golden Dreams with Enfant Terrible

by

Enfant Terrible Full

I am very happy that I may showcase some news from Enfant Terrible.

With all her new releases it was a hard decision, what to blog first.

I decided to star with the new “Moonchild”set. It’s parts are all part of a gacha. You will find 3 different colors for all the items in the gacha – gold, black & white. The common prizes are 3 animated butterflies, the amazing nose chain and a matching necklace wich I changed in this post for another new release of Enfant Terrible, the unisex “Caelens Armor” chest part in gold.

The rare items for that fantastic gacha of Enfant Terrible are the wonderful crowns as well in 3 colors and for the 3 ultra rare items we have the incredible staffs in the shape of a moon.

For the basic outfit to underline the golden dream I chose the “Karolina” bodysuit in gold from Countdown.

I am sure will have fun playing that gacha!

Mermaids

Mermaid

Mermaids

She was a catch, we were a match
I was the match that would fire up her snatch
There was a catch
I was no match
I was fired from her crotch
I sit around and watch
The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks
They are beyond our touch
I watch and watch
Wave at me
They wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

All the ones who come
All the ones who go
Down to the water
All the ones who come
All the ones who go
Down to the sea

I believe in God
I believe in mermaids too
I believe in 72 virgins on a chain (why not, why not)
I believe in the Rapture
For Ive seen your face
On the floor of the ocean
At the bottom of the rain

I do driver alertness course
I do husband alertness course
I do mermaid alertness course
Watch them out on the rocks
Wave at me
Wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

All the ones who come
All the ones who go
Down to the water
All the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the sea

For all the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the water
All the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the sea

Leave your Hat on – Styling around a hat Part II

by

Art in Hats 01

Because I had so much fun with the stylings for the Art in Hats show, I would like to share another of my stylings made around just a hat 😉

This time the hat I started out with came from Miuccia Klaar. The amazing “The Garden in my Head Hat” shows a watering can and some huge flowers in red and pink growing out some grass.

So what to style around… I wanted to keep the hat center, but still have the colors repeated somewhere plus, I wanted to keep the art character of the hat for the whole look.

I remembered black pants from [AD] Creations, wich had 2 huge pink buttons at the belly and a long waist decoration so I jumped into my [AD] folder and tried all pants till I found them. They are part of the “Haw outfit. With the buttons at the belly and the sheer parts on the right leg they were just perfect.

To bring back the sheer part and to kinda make it pop out a bit more I decided to go with the shirt of the “Riga” outfit from SoliDea FoliEs. The amazing sleeves with the attached mesh hands are from [AD] Creations.

For the boots I chose one of my long time favourites, the “Piccadilly Overknee” mesh boots from Leezu.

Diving across the Universe with Finesmith

by

Finesmith 02

“Across The Universe”

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a
Million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my
open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe

[Paul McCartney & John Lennon]

Hunger Games Tribute by Lybra

by

Lybra - Glimmer 01

“It’s weird, how much he’s noticed me… And apparently, I have not been as oblivious to him as I imagined, either.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Today our journey through the Capitol and the Districts brings us to District 1, wich stands for luxury. How else than Lybra Rage owner and designer of Lybra could have chosen this District 😉 .

District 1 is one of the wealthiest districts of Panem. Parents from district 1 seem to name their children after diamonds or precious gems, items or fabrics, like we have Glimmer and Marvel for the 74th Hunger Games. The children of District seem to be very pride in taking part in the Hunger Games and usually are part of the Careers,  who band together to get rid of the weaker ones first.

I would like to start with “Glimmer” a wonderful light golden dress with an amazing golden back piece and a wonderful matching Tiara. The dress itself shows a lot of skin and besides the elegant and classy look that adds a sweet sexy touch as well.

Lybra - Glimmer 02

The special for this outfit would be, that it is a limited gown with only 20 copies and there are not much left! So go and get your “Glimmer” dress and with that, a piece of the legendary Hunger Games Tribute Event done by Opium Evolution.

Lybra - Absinthe 01

The second outfit of Lybra for the Hunger Games Tribute is the “Absinthe” gown. In contrast to the “Glimmer” gown this one is made of a dark golden fabric with a long back train, wich is decorated at the end with some amazing feather looking prims.

Those feathers are repeated on the marvelous head – piece as well, wich almost looks like a crown and perfectly fits in to District 1.

To get a hand on those amazing designs please visit the Hunger Games Tribute shopping mall 🙂

Hunger Games Tribute by Wicca’s Wardrobe

by

WW - Johanna 01

“Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

And again I am back with another of my creations for the Hunger Games Tribute event ran by Opium Evolution.

Today I would like to showcase my “Johanna” dress. This dress is made with the idea of Capitol Couture.

The dress is basically a short dress with a long train in the back. The shoulders are free and a huge collar lays round the neck. To connect the dress and the collar I placed one of the popular mockingjaw brooches at the left side of the chest. The dress itself has a basic black texture and the golden brocade corset sets a wonderful accent to the black and gives the whole ensemble a sophisticated touch. To bring back the gold, the long train was overlayed with a golden gitter net looking gaze. The huge black and gold headpiece as well is part of the outfit and comes in a rigged and an unrigged version.

To complete the look I added one armlet in black and one bracelet in gold.

At the moment you can see all my new releases for the Hunger Games Tribute even – female AND male – at the shopping area of the Hunger Games Tribute event sim (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/PAPAS/175/158/22)

Styling around a hat?

by

PurpleMoon 01

Lately I had a show wich gave me some nice challenge during the styling.

Usually we get an outfit and have to style around with hair, accessories, shoes and poses. This time we just got  hat as a basic and it should kinda be the center of your looks.

I was sitting down first and looked at all those hats and tried to imagine a time frame for them to be in and then slowly looks grew in my head for each one.

The difficulty mainly was, to not loose the hat in the look. The hat as a very little part on your head still had to stay kinda as the main focus.

One of my hats was the “Soleil” hat from Miamai, made for the Art in Hats 2014 event. This wonderful purple hat with the peacock feather decoration on the left side of the hat. The hat has a very young and modern look so I wanted to try to kinda develop a new and modern 80s look for it as the colors called so much for the 80s.

I wanted to kinda pull the purple and green through the whole styling so I decided to wear the cool “Moxie” outfit from PurpleMoon as it gives the basic 80s look for me with the jacked that has those huge shoulder parts and the amazing huge belt that I remember very well for the 80s together with some tight leggings 😉

So the purple part was covered and I just had to set some accents in green to bring the peacock feathers back into the center. That happened with the amazing earrings I found on marketplace and the kick ass “Summer Breeze Flips” shoes from PurpleMoon wich were part of the Le’Accessories event.

The awesome apple-green nail polish I found in the “Bright Set” from Nailed It! and the perfect finish for my look made the “Wicca Lips” in apple from Silken Moon.

LOTD 08/02/2014 featuring Faster Pussycat

by

Faster Pussycat 01

 

Sometimes you just wanna clean you inventory and you find things that you already forgot about.

So it happenend when I was sitting on my sky platform and found one of the wonderful creations of Honey Bender, owner and designer of Faster Pussycat. The amazing “Diablo” mesh dress in beige.

With the amazing beige tones it gave a kinda vintage touch to me but with the hat, and the spine it again was very modern. I still decided to try the vintage meets future look in a more vintage looking picture.

The dres sis mesh made with awesome skirt attachments that are moving. The hat as well is part of the outfit and with the cool looking veil, that kinda looks windblown from the front to the back, it totally made it’s way into my heart.

Honey Bender is one of the “oldest” friends I have in SL and I always admired her work and she was and still is always a huge inspiration for me. Her creations are so unique and you can tell by a piece of clothing if she made it. She always gives her designs a very edgy twist even if they look sometimes even casual on the first view 😉

To see all of her amazing creations and as well new releases please take some time and visit her store. Iam sure you will find something that suits you 😉

A Tribute to the Hunger Games by Wicca’s Wardrobe

by

WW - Enobaria 001

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
Today is a very special day for me. The first time my own creations will be showcased on a runway. I was asked my Anastacia Markova to be part of the Hunger Games Tribute done my Opium Evolution.
I sat down for 3 weeks to think about what I would like to do for this amazing event. I am addicted to the Hunger Games stories. I saw both movies, read all the books and have 3 parts as audio book, so I can say I am kinda.. obsessed*giggles*
I love the idea of the futuristic and high fashion designs that are worn in the movies as well the various websites about Capitol Couture.
In the past I already released my Claw Boots and the Mathayus Heels, wich as well were made after a website that shows Capitol Couture.
Today I would like to start with my “Enobaria” outfit.
The name Enobaria was taken from one of the tributes that were chosen to be part of the hunger games. She won the 62nd Hunger Games and was known of killing her fellow tributes by ripping their throats with her bare teeth. She was called back for the 75th Hunger Games, the Quarter Quell edition, as the female tribute of district 2 one of the Career alliance districts.
The “Enobaria” outfit is a top and leggings combination, wich as well can be worn single to make your own mix and match. For the Capitol Couture version I chose the color combination teal and black. The top kinda is an ensemble of blouse and corset and with the long arms and all the frills it was perfect in my view.
The leggings are only wearable with the Slink high feet, wich are not included in the package. The one part legging shows a metallic teal top with garter belt and garters wich hold long socks or stockings where the toes peek out. I totally fell in love with those pants and so it was no question that I made them part of my “Enobaria” outfit.
The Mask as well is part of the outfit and comes in a rigged and unrigged version.
I hope you have fun with my little Hunger Games Tribute collection available at the Hunger Games Tribute Shopping Area (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/PAPAS/175/158/22)
