Can swimwear be avantgarde or couture? – Mad Diva shows it!!!

by

I never thought about that it would be possible to wear a bikini and still show my love and addiction to the extraordinary fashion 😉 Kalyabreeaa Capelo showed me different. She made a bikini, named “Yula” that totally will be my choice for the upcoming summer season!

The whole “Yula” bikini is made of prims, no clothing layers at all but it covers all needed parts 😉 The basic color is a mixture of black metal and red… again a plus as that are my favourite colors as well 😉 For the shoulder ring you can decide between a straight one like I am wearing for the pics, that goes around both shoulders and then there is another version that more diagonal and lays on one shoulder higher than the other. Swimwear goes couture 🙂 I guess Kalybreeaa Capelo, designer of Mad Diva showed of in an incredible way that this os possible and very sexy as well 🙂 You really should make your way to the Mad Diva Mainstore and see by yourself how innovative and new all the designs are! Or you can watch the Claim the Fame shows on every Wednesday as well where Kalyabreeaa Capelo is one of the contestants as well and shows a male and female outfit every week 😉

Kitties Alarm at Ash’s Trash!!!

by

Yes… it is me… in pink*hides her head* but I could not resist after I saw this outfit that I got for the blog. Ashleey Andrew, designer of Ash’s Trash,  is one of the finalists of the “Claim the Fame” awards of SL Art Couture and she made her way in with exactly this dress. Unbelievable but true, she put all these little Kitties together and managed to create a look that some of us know maybe from Lady Gaga.

Wonderful sculpted prims are arranged around the body and all have the shape of those neat kitties. You will have a hard time to find the sam kitten twice as all are look different what shows the effort that Ashleey made while she created this extraordinary outfit. From big to small the kitties are stacked from the bottom to the top and even the most little one does not miss the amazing details what shows the love of every little thing that Ashley put in that design. The whole outfits is made of 4 prims you attach and one undershirt layer.

To put the dot on the “i” you can find one single kitty as kinda head decoration. I have to admit I am really impressed, even if it is pink… and I really hate pink usually… this outfit kicked me and I had lots of fun doing this post and I am sure this was not the last time that I was wearing this extraordinary dress 😉 I would like to suggest, that you make your way to the Ash’s Trash Mainstore and take a look on her other designs and creations and maybe you find one that you like for yourself 😉

New Collection at Glam Affair!!! Ladies grab your purse ;)

by

Glam Affair brought out their new NERO collection and I am happy to show you one by one all oft amazing and fantastic outfits! And for sure I would like to show you those amazing boots, that Shae Sixpence nearly forced me to buy 😉 The boots I found at NeurolaB Inc and they are called “Fatality Black Boots” They totally caught me as they are really extraordinary, fierce and crazy like I am 😉 They reach over the knees and come in 3 sizes. You should be able to use the alpha layers as you as well can have matching arm shields and all are made for the V2 feature with the alpha layer 😉 If you take a closer look at the feet itself …. *drools* … I never saw such fierce boots before. you have no heel, but the sharp edge of the toes is “curved” back to make a little realistic vision that you are able to walk on them anyhow 😉 The boots are available in more colors than black so maybe you wanna make your way to the NeurolaB Inc Mainstore and take a look by yourself 😉

But now to the outfit itself…. “Nell”

“Nell” is one of  7 new releases from Glam Affair. A wonderful, sexy and stunning outfit perfect for special moments or as well to turn heads 😉 I have to admit..usually ther is no musical note to cover the right chest… but I tried to make it PG for the blog 😉 The outfit itself is just the half body that covers the belly and the pelvis as well as the backside. For the top you have a non symetric part that goes down lightly at the back of the neck in form of a little triangle. In the front it goes down a little more and covers the left side of the chest. It is as well decorated with an amazing flower part.

For jewelry and nails for sure I took some amazing art pieces made by yula Finesmith, incredible designer of Finesmith Design. The earrings are part of the “Inspired by Valeria” limited set, the collar is the ” Inspired by Elyna”. The fingernails are as well from Finesmith Design.

As I said, “Nell” is just one of 7 amazing new releases of Glam Affair and I will show all of them step by step 😉

White Widow meets Fellini Couture!!!

by

Fellini Couture, known for extravagant and fanciful designs did a nice cooperation with White Widow,fantastic face tattoos made by Julie Hastings!

Lets have a look at the dress first…

“Hera” is a wonderful little piece of art. The skirt is not symmetric, it only falls down on the right side of the legs. The texture Joy Fellini chose is an arrangement of black peacock feathers very filigree and highly detailed. The waist part also is a combination of fathers and flower petals.  A tight prom corset surrounds the waist and is decorated with sweet little buttons in the front. For the top we have a shoulder free corsage that makes a wonderful cleavage. Again we have a prim attachment on the upper hem of the top that also repeats the theme of this stunning dress.

The incredible headpiece with the big dark orchidee is also part of the outfit as well as the earrings! Again above the orchidee we can see the black peackock feathers we have in the skirt also.

According to this theme of the peacock feathers Julie Hastings made a stunning face tattoo. The “Peacock” tattoo from White Widow was specially made for this dress and it matches perfect to complete that stunning look! The filigree lines and ornaments perfectly repeat the main theme of that outfit. “Hera” and “Peacock” are not the only combination of Fellini Couture and White Widow… best is you take a look for yourself for all the other stunning “couples” 😉

For the shoes I chose one of the new Mea Culpa creations called “Lizzard”

This pair of fantastic heels requires one of the new viewers like SL 2.0 or higher or one of the new ones that feature alpha layers. This made it possible to have the amazing lace on the feet and still can show toenails!!! The amazing high plateaus are perfect for a very stylish and fashionable outfit like this. The shape of the heel is a nono usual one and shows off character 😉 In the front you can see wonderful gemstones. The shoes come with HUD that allws to change the colors of the gemstones and a few others features like the nail color also and you can match your shoes perfect to your skin tone! If you TP to the Mea Culpa Mainstore you will find more of that incredible shoe designs that really stand out in the design and ideas!

Latest Releases from Faster Pussycat!

by

Again I have the great pleasure to show you some of the latest creations of  Honey Bender, genius designer of Faster Pussycat. I so fell in love with that label that has such unusual, fresh and smart clothing that can be combined and styled in every style you want to, anyways if wild and crazy or even more usual and casual. Honey’s creations are really chameleons of styling 🙂 and you can add your personal note totally!

My first outfit for today, also showed in the fist picture is called “Jungle Cat”.

Basically a cute short dress with amazing huge flexible prims, that nearly cover the whole upper body. The fantastic hat is also part or the whole outfit , with its little hatband and the cute little animal head in the front that is made with a lovely eye for the detail. To make the special look I decided to wear boots from Hoorenbeek to it.

The skin is one of the wonderful Nuuna Skins and the hair comes from 3636.

My second outfit for today carries the great name “White Goddess”.

This outfit really makes you feel like a goddess with its amazing and elegant, classy look.

A long elegant and aerial skirt that reaches the ground gives a very classy touch. The stunning black corset adds the lightly “fresh” touch. Another black prima attachment that follows straight under the corset makes a beautiful lead over to the white flexible long skirt.

The upper body is covered by another prim attachment that is made with the same texture as the skirt. This gives a wonderful unusual and new look.

Again, and yes I am an addicted 😉 I used a Nuuna’s Skin.

My last outfit for today is the “Winter Vamp”

This outfit I have for a bit longer but I so love it that I had to include it in that post to show it 😉

It is maybe a little to warm for the summer season but it is always nice to be prepared for the up coming next season 😉

Long leggings cover the sexy legs and also the top has long tight sleeves. The upper body is covered by an amazing corset that breaks the black and white basic. The corset and the long arm shirt are made of a lovely pattern texture that shows the amazing skills of Honey Bender if it comes to textures.  A totally eye catcher on this outfit are the 2 “fluffy” parts. First the skirt that gives the whole outfit a lightly playfully touch and then the neckpart repeats that amazing kind of texture.

My first outfit, that you also can see in the first pic up, is called “Out of the Deep”

The name is program and this incredible outfit is covered by many little highlights. The whole outfit is in a light and bright blue that shines and glows all over. Little shells and amazing waving prims make this outfit to a perfect design if you wanna be the center of view 😉 The textures of the layers are awesome detailed and you can get the light imagination of a mermaid with the lovely painted scales on the clothing layers.

The second outfit was made for the Miss Egypt 2011 of the MVW contest. “Sierra Morte”. Luralie Bailey is one of the official candidates and she represents Egypt for 2011.

The dress is made in amazing brown tones with a lovely couture touch. Dark and light parts are perfectly arranged to give the outfit the special touch!

Like all Mea Culpa outfits “Sierra Morte” is made of fantastic detailed and lovely handprinted textures and amazing extra ordinary prims. The hat carries a yellow decoration and the same color you will find on the right hand side of the outfits at the hips on the flexible spikes. The texture of the top and also the sheered skirt are made in a lighter shade of brown that perfectly matches the dark brown of the hat, the attachment round the upper body and the sleeves of the top.

Last outfit for today is the newest release of Mea Culpa called “Heavenly Marriage”. A wonderful bridal outfit, that has the special different and extraordinary touch. Beautiful white attachments move dreamy round your body while walking. The short top allows a peek on your skin what gives a very sexy touch also. 😉

The amazing headpiece with the smooth veil also is part of the special bridal gown. In this close up you can see the lovely folds of the veil that let it look very realistic. also you can take a closer look on the beautiful and stunning top and the great prim that decorates the belly.

The Beginning – Very first show of Mea Culpa by Opium – Show Review

by

(Models from left to right: Wicca Merlin & Katina Magic, Picture by Romeo Torvalar)

On the 21st of May, Tatanka Kaligawa – owner and designer of Mea Culpa – presented the first time his new creations on the runway. Mea Culpa is a very young label and basically goes for avantgarde and haute couture… the special things but also Tatanka tries to hold them realistic and wearable.

The runway that Opium builded was dreamy and unique. Colorful fantasy elements and the amazing color changing runway gave a wonderful frame for the lovely creations of Mea Culpa.

The models used particles to make the magic mystical feeling perfect. I will try to give you a little imagination of what it looked like, even if the pictures cannot carry the great feeling that you had being live at the show 🙂

My first outfit was the “Moon Rose”. On the first view a simple looking little, tight dress. But if you look closer you can see that it is not just made of a simple plain black texture. It let imagine sweet folds on the whole dress.

Highlights are definitely the lace stockings and the fluffy boa…and my personal highlight is the headpiece. A big flower with an amazing laced veil that repeats the lace character of the stockings and gloves.

My second outfit was the “Blue Dragon Blade”. A complete outfit with boots. The blue and silver combination was perfect for blue particles 😉 The center of that outfit are the long and flexible needles and spikes that wave around you if you move. It has a lightly warrior touch and a very fantasy basic.

The outfit comes as a “ready-to-wear” with dress, hair piece and boots. The texture is a rough material and a color combine of silver black and blue. The boots also carry spikes and thorns to match the outfit perfectly.

“Storm of passion” I already showed before in another blog post. A very strong outfit with a dark mystic touch.

The perfect addition for this outfit were the new Stiletto Moody – “Bare Fay” wildset heels with the great python print… for me they matched perfect 🙂

My last out fit for that incredible show was the “Bound for Hell”, one of the latest releases of Mea Culpa.

“Bound for Hell” a very special and huge outfit. It looks a little bit as a dark priestess or even the devils wife 😉 The great hood gives a wonderful mystical touch and all the big, flexible attachments make it lightly mystical. Basically the body is covered by a lace suit. The great shoulder attachment adds a lightly dangerous look. To cover the “private” parts The top has a black ornamented texture and the pants are black too carrying the same wonderful red and silver decoration.

Again the best match for me were ankle boots from Stiletto Moody. “Bare Lucille” completes the strong and extravagant look of “Bound for Hell” perfectly.

Mostly all poses for that show were made by Arisia Ashmoot, owner and designer of  Body Talking.

I hope you had fun with my short review of another fantastic Opium Fashion Show!

A short dress in black and white with wonderful prim attachments, that make th whole creation to a piece of art. The basic clothing layers are decorated with many different shaped prims that give the whole outfit the special touch, like the round shoulder parts, the fan looking neck part and for sure the amazing short skirt with the amazing detailed belt.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Silver Dragon”, Model: Arisia Ashmoot)

Up next “Silver Dragon” again shows the amazing skills of  Tatanka Kaligawa, the genius designer of Mea Culpa. The basic clothing layers show off a lot of skin and make this outfit to a sexy eyecatcher. This outfit comes as a full outfit with head part and boots. Center of this outfit are for me the long steel parts and spikes that give the outfit a light amazon touch… some for the brave strong girls 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Dark Desire”, Model: Daffodil Crimson)

“Dark Desire” wakes up dark desires 😉 A long black gown with a beautiful ornamented corsage part. The tight corsage leads over to a big ballgown skirt. The special detail on this incredible gown in the great head pice with the lovely flower and the fantastic spider webs in 2 colors. The black of the gown is broken with the red petals of the flowers and one red spiderweb. The headpiece is also decorated with beautiful lace parts that give the whole part a mystical and elegant touch.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Taste of Lotus”, Model: Wicca Merlin-not available in store, custom design)

“African Lotus” is a very huge gown that definitely will make you the center of every event. It is not a symmetric outfit, the amazing attached prims are take the left side of the outfit. Dreamy flexi made the move with every step you take. The top layer is covered by an amazing wrapped part that goes over the right shoulder.

“Storm of Passion” again is a very sexy and short outfit that shows a lot of a ladies well-shaped body 😉 The whole outfit is made of a glittering and sparkling texture what gives you a very special shine. The head part includes a long flexi ponytail in the back that goes down to the waist.  The basic black-silver-grey texture is highlighted with lovely emerald gems at head, chest and belly. And if you look very close you can see a beautiful leopard animal print texture that covers the body that is worn under the glittering prim parts. 2 long flexi attachments go down from the wait to the knee and caress your legs with every movement.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Perfectly Wrapped”, Model: Arisia Ashmoot)

Last outfit for this post is “Perfectly Wrapped” The name shows off the basic idea of this design 😉 The whole body is wrapped in a foil looking texture with amazing edgy spikes that make a great contrast. The great head part is also included and carries a few of the long edgy parts that make this outfit definitely to a haute couture one. The long attachments are again great flexi made and move natural with every step you make.

Mea Culpa has a lot more great designs that I will show you in another post 😉

The store just opened, so if you wanna be one of the first that wears that extraordinary and fantastic designs… hurry to the Mea Culpa Mainstore. The store itself is worth a visit… modern, and extravagant… the right place for a real fashionista to shop 😉
