2016 – Springtime!

March 20, 2016 by Wicca Merlin

Today we had such a wonderful weather – I really got spring feelings!

Driven by those sun touched feelings, I went to my inventory and put on the “Caline” outfit from [sys]. The outfit was made for the Shiny Shabby event and with the shorts and the amazing stylish top, it gives a perfect ‘in between the seasons’ look.

The “Caline” outfit comes in the standard sizes as well as fitted for nearly all popular mesh bodies. I was wearing it with my Slink Physique mesh body and it worked perfectly.

For the shoes my decision fell on the “Gypsy Boots” from Wicca’s Wardrobe. With the loosely style and the used look to me they did underline the casual look. The lace in the back and the amazing lines that surround the ankles give a very smart touch and as well underline the casual feeling.

For the accessories, I wanted to add a bag. The “Charley” bag of [sys] was one of the cutest bags i got lately and so the choice was not a hard one 🙂 The bag comes in a rigged and unrigged version.

The amazing glasses were made by Haysuriza for the On9 event. With the inbuilt HUD it gives a huge variety of changes you can make to match your look.

The cool hair is one of the newer EMO-tions hair. It is called “Carol” and comes with the neat beanie. The HUD gives you a huge variety of colors for the hair and as well some choices for the color of the beanie.

The amazing jewelry – collar and bracelet – was made by Elysium. The cool leather paired with metals really gives a cool part to the whole look. The metals are available in gold or silver for the whole “Ichtaca” set.

Last but not least, I would like to drag your focus on the incredible detailed tattoo. The “Henna” tattoo from White Widow added the last little bit to the whole style, what I was looking for. As mentioned before I am wearing the Slink Physique mesh body – my favourite one – and the “Henna” tattoo comes for that mesh body as well as for the most common ones.

Since it is still a little bit cold, even if the sun comes out more and more, I decided to wear tights from Izzie’s, which as well come with an applier for the slink body.

Fantasy Dreams with Wicca’s Wardrobe

February 11, 2016 by Wicca Merlin

Today I would like to showcase one of our latest releases. The “Miniel” outfit is available at the actual round of The Fantasy Collective (TFC).

For today I chose the blue/brass version of the outfit, as it looked the best in the wooden environment I chose for my pictures. At the event you will find 5 different colors for the outfit.

The body is decorated with some armor looking parts as well as with some very filigree chains. The cool arm and leg armor is part of the whole “Miniel” outfit too.

When I saw the “Eva” wings from NeverWish, I totally fell in love with them. They matched so perfect in style and color to the “Miniel” outfit.

The “Eva” wings are incredible detailed and wonderful textured, little wings, that fit to many different looks. With the delicate roses and the wonderful filigree metal shapes they are a must have for every fantasy wardrobe. The wings do have a HUD to recolor the wings and metals separately.

The cool “Nanina” hair was made by EMO-tions. The hair is made of many little braided parts, that are non symmetrical and have an awesome high top part.

The boots are as well from Wicca’s Wardrobe. The “Inara” boots with the little golden spikes and chains totally rocked the style and the blue version of the ‘Chic Edition’, even matched the color of the “Miniel” body suit.

A Night after Christmas with Asia Rae and E.V.E Studio

December 29, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Phew Christmas is over and I have my ‘normal life’ back 😉

That gives me time, to blog about the newest releases of Asia Rae, E.V.E Studio and EMO-tions.

The amazing “Magissa Latex Dress” is one of the latest news by Asia Rae. The dress is a fashion dream with the huge cape looking shoulder part, that goes down until the elbows and the amazing combination of a knitted texture for the sleeves in contrast to the shiny latex looking fabric of the dress itself.

The super cool hair comes from EMO-tions for the Shiny Shabby Event. It is called “Jezebel” The huge hair style with the extraordinary shape comes with several appliers for mesh heads for the hair base and as well the amazing head band is part of the whole look.

Now I would like to drag your view no the amazing horns. They were made by Noke Yuitza for E.V.E Studio. The awesome horns are part of her Moon Collection, inspired by the winter nature. As always for E.V.E Studio the horns are 100% original mesh and materials enabled. You can choose between different colors for the horns to make them fit your desires 🙂

Sceneries are always important for pictures and for today I chose the amazing “Christmas Decoration Set” from 22769 to make my sweet and cozy background.

And now I will put back all my Christmas stuff into boxes and put it back in the attic of my sweet little Hobbit House until next year 😉

The cool jacket, the cardigan and the dress are one piece and you have a wide color selection available, where you can choose from.

The amazing “London High Boots” are sold by GizzA as well. The cool over knee leather boots are perfect for the winter season and with each pack you will get two different colors.

The cute “Pastel Brushed Leather Bag” is one of my long time faves from NYU. It kinda reminds me about a bag I had, when I was at the university 😉

The awesome glasses are as well an item, you will find at Shiny Shabby, made by Sora Tatham for Gabriel.

What got my attention is a wonderful, sweet animation, that lets you swap the glasses from the usual ‘on the nose’ up to your forehead. That feature is part of a huge HUD, which lets you change the frames to different fabrics, as well the lens color and transparency and certainly you can resize it too.

Autumn Mood with an Artistic Touch

November 2, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Today, it again will be a post with lots of pictures, as I again could not decide which ones to use for the post so you will get all of them 😉

I was starting to style today with one of the new hats of Tres Beau for Art in Hats. Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau, created 2 wonderful hats for the event and the “A Feather in your Cap” hat immediately caught my heart.

The black hat is textured with a wonderful detailed fabric. The asymmetric shape totally is my cup of tea, as I like the non even things a lot 😉 The hat is decorated with amazing colored feathers, held by some delicate gems, which connect them to the hat.

When I first put it on, I had to IM Kimmera and asked her, if I have to behave or if I may go wild with it :p .

Her answer just was “Wow me!” Oh dear… going wild is one thing but wow someone who I adored for years and who I respect highly… that is going to be a hard task…

So I was thinking about, what Tres Beau means to me and about the wonderful woman who is behind it. So I was certain about elegance and as well chic but as well about art and high quality.

When I was thinking about what I could wear to the hat, Asia Rae contacted me and surprised me with one of her own designs. When I tried it on it immediately formed an idea in my mind, about what I wanted the pictures look like.

The strappy top and the wonderful short skirt, were the perfect match and as well elegant but also modern and trendy. So the “Sona” outfit became the choice for the day 😉

Now the hard choice of shoes was coming up. When I started looking through my shoes I realized that I recently got incredible artistic shoes from Maichore and i tried on the new “Piotr” heels for the slink high mesh feet. With the totally extraordinary shape of the huge heel, the filigree meshwork around the foot and the amazing little details, those shoes were right perfect for today’s look!

Now last but not least I had the desire to add some “Wicca twist” and looked or makeup when I kinda stumbled over the “Maiden Face Mask” from DE Designs. Having this mystical half mask I felt the need for something special for the hands as well, that gives the whole style a certain touch. The whole look already turned into a warm autumn kind of style and I decided to use the “Dryad Hands” from Figment. Those turned my hands into tree parts and the idea for the scenery was born in exact that moment 😉

For the hairstyle I needed something that goes well with the hat and as well does underline the little smart touch of the look. The choice fell on the new “Izzy” hair from EMO-tions. The hair at the moment is sold at the On9 event until the 4th of November when the actual round closes. With the long “braided braid” coming over just one shoulder I could perfectly balance out the asymmetric hat without dragging away the focus too much.

One last look… yes that look really matched everything I was thinking about ,when I started to imagine what I would like to go for the “A Feather in your Cap” hat from Tres Beau!

LOTD 09/28/2015 – Today at GizzA

September 28, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Today was a cold but very sunny day. That inspired me to a more autumn, kinda ‘last sunbeam catching’ look.

The new “Sienna Ornamental” set from GizzA felt like the right choice for today.

The short leather skirt with the 2 slits definitely is an eyecatcher especially in gold and the amazing halterneck top with the deep neckline and the amazing wide and floating bottom is just a perfect match.

To add some more fashion to it, I put the “Quartz Glasses” from LeeZu and one of my favourite hairstyles from EMO-tions called “Rosi”.

Mila is back!!! – News from SoliDea FoliEs

September 25, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Mila Tatham, owner and designer of SoliDea FoliEs, is back with some amazing news!

Today I have the great honor and pleasure to showcase 2 of her newest releases.

I would like to start with the “Becca” outfit. The outfit contains the wonderful long sleeved top. The shoulders are free and with the bell bottom sleeve shape it totally is a piece to add for your wardrobe. The wrapped/ruffled skirt gives a sexy but as well cool urban touch to the while look.

The wonderful hair, that matched so perfectly was made by EMO-tions. The “Agneta” hairstyle with the great hairband as well comes with the amazing headpiece, earrings and choker(not worn in this post) The hair band can be color changed via the HUD.

The second outfit for today would be the new “Alexis” dress.

This amazing long dress – Mila must have spent hours to make it that amazing and realistic! – is a definite eye catcher! It reaches down over the knees and with the puffy arm sleeves and the amazing wide and high neck collar it will turn heads where ever you go.

To match the “Alexis” dress, SoliDea FoliEs offers the “Alexis” hat. A sweet flower, surrounded by huge, twisted tendrils.

To complete the look I just added the awesome “Frida” hair from EMO-tions and some cool winter ready boots made by “Pixelfashion.

The outfits are available in more colors than just black 😉 To see all of them please take a ride to the new SoliDea FoliEs main store. The whole sim got remodeled and Mila built an awesome new store to it 🙂

Circus! – Faster Pussycat meets Machoire

September 22, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

I have no clue how this idea was born…

That was one of the moments when you go over your wardrobe and try to find some inspiration 😉

I wanted to do something special for the new “Ganta Heels” from Machoire.

The heels are not only shoes, they are an art piece, so they needed something extraordinary. What could be for such an idea the something from Faster Pussycat!

I saw the “Hydra” outfit during the popstars show at the 24 event last weekend and fell immediately in love with it, A corset paired with a two-part harness and those exciting, wild horn parts covering the waits and chest. There is as well a headpiece matching to them, which I did not use for today’s pictures.

The beautiful and strong-looking tattoo is one of the newest releases from White Widow. Julie Hastings made this one as her contribution to the ‘anyBODY – for applier lovers‘ event.

The while look had kinda a burlesque or even vintage circus feeling and so I was trying to make some pictures in that direction. The poses certainly had to be different for that too as I wanted to highlight the whole look. It is not always easy to drag the focus on shoes if you want to showcase the outfit as well 😉

The amazing, cool hair was made by Mirja Mills, owner and designer of EMO-tions.

I have a weakness for circus themes anyways especially the more vintage ones, so this pictures really were a lot of fun 🙂

Today I again have a special series of pictures again.

In the past I was not really thinking a lot when I made my pictures for my blog, I just had a certain feeling and tried to follow that. I go with my buts and kinda try to put them on a visual level.

Lately, I felt more and more requirements to my self when it comes to my pictures. It is like I would see it from a different point of view now. When John told me, my pictures would be art… I totally was surprised as I never saw it that way.

When the current round of the Windlight Gallery opened, I again was allowed to meet Bryn Oh, kinda THE idol of my Second Life when it comes to art. She was so nice and kind and had a few very nice words about my pics and as well gave me some advice. That so made my day, I cannot even tell. Do you know that feeling if you admire someone and then exactly those person tells you your work is not bad and as well gives you some advice and tricks? – Priceless!!!

I always loved the ides to kinda blend the model into the background. If the subject of a picture is more part of the whole picture, than standing alone in the front. Certainly, there is purposes for that as well like for pure fashion blogging.

When I put on the “Dryad” outfit from !gO!, I immediately saw a forrest/wood fantasy picture in my mind. This dress is nature and art by itself and so I just tried to go on with some pieces to enhance the look.

The hair is the wonderful “Genesis” hair from EMO-tions and the “Laerlorn” headpiece was made by Wicca’s Wardrobe.

When I styled the look I all of a sudden remembered, that way in the past a designer made a wooden skin overly for an outfit of the Claim the Fame contest. The tattoo was made by Vengeful Threads.
