April 22, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

From the 20th of April until the 28th of April you can find amazing creations various designers made for themes like fantasy, role play, steam-punk and Sci-Fi and all that is content of dreams at the SecondLife Fantasy Faire 2013. Incredible builders created awesome sims for that event where you can make fantastic pictures or just explore and get caught away in your dreams and imagination.

The Fantasy Faire is one of the most huge events that take part in the RFL. RLF – Relay for Life – is a charity organisation that supports the American Cancer Society.

The whole event takes part on 10 sims. The are arranged in a nice way with a path that you can follow to explore all of them. On 8 you will find the creations that were made from all the designers to support the RLF. The last 2 sims are the event sims, where presentations, music events, concerts, auctions and silent auctions take place. To make it more interesting for visitors, a super amazing hunt is taking place where you can find many incredible little items.

Today I would like to drag your attention to the creations of EMO-tions, Plastik and Talevin’s Design.

EMO-tions is well known for quality fantasy and role-play designs since a lot of years. For this year’s Fantasy Faire Mirja Mills, owner and designer of EMO-tions, designed a few very special fantasy hair styles. The “Sunburst” hair style is one of them. It is a wonderful wild hairstyle that comes I amazing fantasy colors. The silver jewelry parts you can see round the face, are part of the hair itself. I only added the “Inferno Horns” to give the whole look a demon attitude 😉

The amazing “Draziira” skin as well is one of the fantastic items of the Fantasy Faire 2013, contibuted by Plastik. The black skin comes in different versions for the colored parts and I chose the red one called “Inferno”. Inside of the skin package I found a super cute pair of fantasy long ears, that matched the skin and some red glowing eyes who were perfect for my demon look.

The incredible “Chaos Tentacle” staff comes from Talevin’s Design. With this huge and amazing looking staff you will be able to rule the fantasy world with your cast your spells 😉 As well Talevin’s Design offers a wonderful HUD that has lot of effects that you can apply on other avatars to make your magic even look more real. Some of them are really fun as long as you do not bother people with it, that do not want it 😉

Violator has a new Prêt-à-porter line!

April 21, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Incredible news at Violator! Soraya Vaher created a new line for Violator, a Prêt-à-porter collection. The idea behind that was, to have something that can be worn as part of the everyday wardrobe, for an affordable prize but still with the well known luxury that Violator offers for all their creations.

The new collection is named “Budget Chic – More for Less” and it offers some really amazing designs in different colors, always combined with gold or silver.

For todays post I decided to stay to black and showcase one black & gold and one black & silver look.

The first one you can see above is the amazing “Scherhazade” jumpsuit. The trendy wide pants together with the sexy top that shows a lot of clevage really lets every lady shine. The amazing jumpsuit is a one part mesh design and makes it easy to just put it on and look amazing 😉

To finish the look I added one of the newest releases of Finesmith, the “Diamond” set. I was able to change the textures of all parts with a menu to match the “Schehazade” jumpsiot perfectty and the necklace that goes up on the right shoulder underlined the luxury of the whole styling.

The matching shoes as well are part of the new “Budget Chic” collection. Soraya made them matching to each color and metal variation she created for the new line. Since I decided to go black and just exchange the gold for the silver, I only have the black version of the “Pride” stilettos shown in this post 😉 The spikes make a wonderful edge to the black ankle boots and the silver and gold decorations bring back the metal parts of the style in an awesome way.

The second look is put together of 2 different parts of the new “Budget Chic” collection. The “Candy” skirt and the “Passion” jacket.

The “Passion” jacket is an open mesh jacket ornamented with a wonderful silver texture and at the neck you have an amazing flower part that goes up on the left shoulder. The “Candy” skirt repeats the silver texture and is decorated with an amazing ruffled bow in the front. The two little slits at the upper thighs ad again a very sexy touch.

I only added the “Diamond” earrings of the same set I was wearing before just textured a little different, to match the silver parts of the outfit, fishnet stockings and a tie I found at Redgrave as part of a top.

So do not wait and TP over to the Violator Mainstore and see all the amazing colors and styles of the new “Budget Chic” colletion and enjoy all the new designs without getting broke 😉

Today I would like to start my little row of Fantasy Faire 2013 posts with the contribution of Ezura.

Ezura made different items for the Fantasy Faire and I tried to combine them all in one outfit whats really possible 😉

The base is the amazing “Fanatsy Velnyra” outfit. It kinda is a ready to wear outfit as it contains all visible parts like the bra, the stockings, the skirt, the cuffs and as well the panties. The amazing mesh “Thigh High” boots are the second item for the Fantasy Faire. The long over-knee boots underline the sexy touch of the outfit very well ;). What really caught my attention are the super cool gloves with the looooong blades that reminded me about Freddy Krueger :p

To finish the styling I took the “Mai Goth” collar from Ezura with the awesome spikes that matched the blades perfect in my opinion 😉

So make your way to the Fantasy Faire 2013 (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fairelands%20Junction/128/128/23) and help while you buy all those amazing dreamy fantasy items!

Fabulous New Jewelry Dresses at Chop Zuey

April 19, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

I guess we all remember the legendary white jewelry dress that was auctioned this year at the RFL Fashion Week for over 200 000 lindens. Frolic walked this spectacular gown down the runway, that Belle Roussel, owner of Chop Zuey, designed especially for this charity event. I remember that all of us that walked that runway show were standing backstage and became more and more speechless and as well breathless until the gown finally was sold for so much money… for me sadly way out of range. But it was amazing that one single design can bring so much support for a wonderful cause like the RLF.

Now this amazing gown is back in new colors! Belle Roussel made a few new colors of this fantastic jewelry gown. For today’s post I decided to showcase the “Emerald Spring Gown”. The wonderful light green dress is decorated with so many wonderful little gemstones, if the sun kisses you you will sparkle like a huge diamond 😉 The earrings, bangles and armlets are as well part of the outfit. You have the choice if you wanna wear the gown with or without the veil since you have one head piece with and one without the veil coming in your box. To see all of the amazing colors of the new jewelry dress – for sure besides the exclusive white for the RFL 😉 – you better make your way to the Chop Zuey Mainstore and see for yourself.

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 04/16/2013 – Loneliness

April 16, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I was in a little romantic mood and I had to prepare for my GizzA shift. I wanted to use some ruffles but make it not too playfully. I took the pants from the “Valentino Inspiration” as I really liked the ruffles and the aerial movement it has. To not make it too sweet looking, I used the top of the “Cadet Couture” outfit.The golden ornaments and the brown golden sleeves perfectly repeated the basic tone of the chest part.

For the collar/shoulder part I remembered the “Epaulette” set, that once was part of a special event and now is back for some gatcha fun at the Gizza Mainstore. You never know, which color you will get but you can collect all of them if you have enough patience and pocket money :p

The “Combat Boots” are one of the latest releases of GizzA. The heavy looking boots made a perfect frame together with the top for the sweet ruffled pants 😉

To cover the break of the top and the pants I used the belt of the “Rock Queen” outfit.

Now I will make my way over to GizzA to work a bit, maybe see you there 😉

Rocking News at Finesmith & Faster Pussycat!

April 16, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I am very happy to showcase one of the newest release of Faster Pussycat. Honey Bender and Poosykat Littleboots again made an amazing UK outfit 🙂

The “Buckingham – Queen of Punk II” is a wonderful ensemble of corset, skirt and wonderful ankle boots in the colors of the UK. The typical combination of red, blue and white paired with the punkish look totally got my heart. As I was younger I was shaving my hair to weird mohawks and colored them and we were listening to the Ramones, Sex Pistols or even Chelsea and other great UK punk bands :p

The awesome Union Jack is all over the outfit and with all the studs and spikes, paired with the huge skirt it really makes a head turner 😉

To complete the styling i added one of the newest releases of Finesmith called “Shame”. This set contains earrings, bracelet, head piece and a huge necklace made of 2 parts and the shoulder pads as well. You can split up the necklace to single parts as well and it still gives an amazing look 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 04/15/2013 – Black & Yellow

April 15, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Sometimes when I just style for fun I try to make my self different tasks. Sometimes it is certain styles or even certain colors or color combinations. Today I was in a little black and yellow mood after I tried one of the latest releases from Bubble’s Design. The “Tiffany Yellow” dress, that Bubbles released not too long ago brought me on the idea of the yellow & black color combination and I wanted to pull it through the whole styling and picture.

To the “Tiffany Yellow” dress from Bubble I added the newest shoe release from LeeZu, the “Piazza Navona” ankle boots. I love the non usual and crazy stuff anyways and this shoes just totally caught my heart. For this post I decided to go with the yellow ones but you can have them in nearly all colors at the LeeZu Mainstore. The “Anna” stockings I found as well at LeeZu.

To give it a little bit more craziness I added the “Cubism Shades” glasses from epoque & the back fan is a long time favourite of mine and I found them ages ago at [glow] 😉

-The Event- Hollywood: [Pure Poison]

April 11, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today again I would like to showcase one of the amazing designs of -the event- Hollywood.

The amazing “Giul Haute Couture Dress” from [Pure Poison].

The wonderful gown in black and gold tones has an extravagant look and together with the “Giul Lace Haute Hat” and the “Adore Gold-Onyx Collar”, both as well from [Pure Poison] it made a wonderful elegant and artistic style.

The gown is shoulderfree and the golden tones give amazing highlights to the black base. The head piece totally caught my attention with the lace looking front that repeats the train theme of the gown and the 2 horns that go high up in the air. The collar as well made of gold and black/onyx gems adds some elegance.

As I was searching for a nice location I came across one of the LEA sims. It is named “Rust” and was made by Cica Ghost. I spent a lot of time there, until I could decide where I wanna do my pictures. The amazing sim is so detailed and has so many amazing little places, it was really hard to decide for the spots I wanted to use.

So after you made your way to -the event- Hollywood sim (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/event%20HOLLYWOOD/57/170/66), you should make your way over to LEA 13, where the “Rust” (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA13/169/48/22) is located 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 04/06/2013 – Today at GizzA

April 6, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Not too long ago I started a new job… Assistant at GizzA. GizzA does not have usual store models, the have assistants that greet and help the customers with all of their problems.

I was about looking for the news at the GizzA Mainstore as I meet an old friend of mine while she was doing her shift at GizzA and she told me a bit about it.

I always liked the idea more of being an active helper that just a quiet mannequin and since I was told they still looking for assistants she directed me to Xii, who handles all the assistants. I know Xii for quite some time and we talked a bit and not too long after I got the job. And I have to admit the team there is amazing. We have so much fun and all are friendly and helpful.

I was very excited when I prepared for my first shift and it still is so much fun to create outfits with all the amazing designs of GizzA. Many of you know me already and know as well I am not the one that just throws on folders. So I was trying to mix and match out of my huge GizzA folder and find some cute and cool outfits.

The one I wanna show you today, falls more into the category cute I guess *grins* – I know.. rare but it happens :p

I started with one of the newer releases of GizzA, the “Pure Romance Blouse” in satin white. I always had a fable for black and white and as well for the 80s and so the idea of a 80s touched black and white outfit was growing more and more and the cute ruffles of the “Pure Romance Blouse” made a great basic. I digged a little deeper in my GizzA folder and found an outfit that I really have for a long time now and the pants of the “Princely” outfit were just perfect with the wide upper leg sleeves.

The 80s had a few typical shoes and one of the was the sneaker ankle boots. I remember I had some white Adidas boots with the typical three stripes in gray on the sides. Since GizzA released some stylish “Mesh Sneakers” lately they just were perfect for the look 😉

All of a sudden I remembered the amazing watches, that Giz released not too long ago and I just added them, as huge bangles and watches as well was something I remember very well back then – god i really had some of those huuuuge leather bands with a watch on it… and the hype of the big Swatch watches… amazing*giggles*

Last but not least I decided to go with the “Sirah” hair from Burley that I always call with love my “Boy Jorge” hat :p

A last look into the mirror… ready to go 🙂

Top: GizzA – “Pure Romance Blouse” – NEW

Pants: GizzA – “Princely” (part of the Princely outfit)

Shoes: GizzA – “Mesh Sneakers” – NEW (mesh)
