News from Mea Culpa!

by

Again a new release at Mea Culpa. Tatanka Kaligawa again creatied a wonderful new outfit called “Randomly Wild”

“Randomly Wild” is a very unsymetric dress that shows off the amazing skills of designer Tatanka Kaligawa if it comes to wild and couture looking designs. The textures are made with incredble details very cleared and thought of. The short skirt is decorated with huge prims that caress the legs while walking. The great collar that is also part of the outfit underlies the wild style of the dress perfectly and with an alpha layer it is no problem at all to walk and pose with it as well… it will always fit properly 🙂 The hug upper part also has one dominant part on the right hand side, while on the left side the shoulder is covered a little more down with flexible prims that look kinds feathers 😉

For the shoes I chose one of the latest shoe releases also from Mea Culpa, called “Romance”

This great ankle boots are perfect if you search for something special. They are HUD driven and you can choose from 6 premade color for the boots.

The anklepart is decorated with nice leather straps, buckles and neat little spikes that hang down from the ankle part. The textures are not just simple uni ones if you take a look you can see the amazing ornaments that decorate the whole boots.

So make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and you can take a look for yourself and also do not forget the Christmas Special on the first floor as well 🙂

News at Glam Affair – Castalia and Eva show off their Beauty!

by

OMG! Glam Affair has new skins and they are so amazing… I really love them. So realistic and smooth… unbelievable!

The first skinline is called “Castalia” and it comes in 12 different make up…

All makeups you can think of are covered by the “Castalia” line. The face it self has very interesting features that make kinds character face. I’m sure it is not a skin for every shape but if you are willing to modify your face lightly you can create a very unique and amazing face with it. For me it was perfect i just put it on and was really in love with.

The colors for the lips and eyes are very stong and fresh ones. From nude over pink to red and also unusual colors, this skin line provides everything thing the heart asks for  🙂

“Castalia” is available in different skintones also :). You can choose from natural, dark, light or tan to suit your character for the best 😉

The second new skin by Glam Affair, called “Eva” is the more playful and sweet one for me. The lips are a bit bigger and I am sure they are great for making ‘pouting’ expressions 😉

The makups are very glamorous and sophisticated. And the smokey eyes you can see in some of them give a very stunning touch 😉

You also have a great choice of different seductive red and pink tones to become a mystical maneater 😉

“Eva” is available in different skin tones also like dark, natural, light, tan & medtan 🙂 So you can find the perfect one for yourself anyways wich skin type you are 😉 The bodies of both skins are amazingly made with such great details and the right shadows and lights to make them very realistic.

Another sweet thing I found in ‘The Dressing Room’… a sweet and neat version of the “Eva” skin with the name “Eva – Winter Make Up”

You really should make your way to the Glam Affair store and try out the demos… I really fell in love with and I am sure you will find one that you like also 😉

Show Review of Angel Dessous and PurpleMoon

by

Last Sunday I was walking a show for Envision that featured designs of Angel Dessous, PurpleMoon and hair from Tukinowaguma. I really enjoyed my outfits and just wanted to show them 😉

My first outfit was from Angel Dessous and is called “Lian” here shown in the color ‘nightflower’. This great asian design leads to dreams with all its wonderful details and accessories…

The basic blue toned texture is full of wonderful little ornaments in blue and green tones. The gown looks parted in 2 parts one lower skirt and one upper that starts with that great prim attachment in the front, wich is lightly unsymmetrical to the right hand side. Another great attachment we find can see on the chest. Sweet little light ruffled parts make the seam of the top and only one neat line over the right shoulder connects the font and back of the dress. For sure the huge and great head part is one of the highlights for this dress and underlines the asian character perfectly. For the jewelry I chose the incredible “Victorian Secret” earrings from Finesmith. For the skin I used one of the new Glam affair ones out of the “Castalia” line in the natural tone. The lips are a different layer that blackliquid gave me once and this lips matched the outfit  perfectly. The hair comes from Tukinowaguma and is called “Princess” in ebony.

The second outfit I was allowed to showcase came from PurpleMoon and is called “Queen of Hearts”. The name is program for this neat dress ;).  A short and very sexy dress. Poulet Koenkamp again shows us her amazing creativity if it comes to designing. The main color of this dress for sure has to be red 😉 and it is not just a simple plain texture… way not…it is a firework of red tones and glitter and glimmering shades! The top is made like a corset with bare shoulders that let the possibility for great jewelry like the “In the Flash – Shpitz” from Finesmith.

The great “Disturbia Collection” veil and the “Sweet Cocktail” bracelets I am wearing also are from Finesmith 🙂 Thanks to Yula who has those amazing ideas for extravagant jewelry!!! A total ‘head turner’ is the big, huge head-piece that also carries little, neat hearts to underline the theme of the dress and to repeat the floating hearts that surround the little, short balloon skirt.

5 big roses decorate the higher forehead and make also an amazing detail of the whole outfit! The “Metallic Silver Nails” are made by PurpleMoon as well as the “Kis” hair style that matches wonderful to the whole outfit 🙂

My 3rd and last outfit for that show was also from PurpleMoon and it was one of the amazing bridal gowns – “Nefertiti”

This wonderful white piece of art is another masterpiece of Poulet Koenkamp, designer of PurpleMoon.  A wonderful, dreamy flexible veil goes down in the back nearly to the hips. The top is decorated with amazing detailed ruffles at the chest. The dress it self starts very tight and shows off the perfect shaped body of the bride 😉  The more it goes to the ground the wider it becomes and a nother train that follows your steps over the ground smoothly.

The “Metallic Silver Nails” and the “Era” hairstyle here in platinum are also from PurpleMoon. Earrings and bracelets are again from Finesmith. The skin also is from the Glam Affair “Castalia” line

I hope you enjoyed my show review 😉 If you wanna see more of the great designs made byAngel Dessous,  PurpleMoon, Finesmith or Tukinowaguma, just take the next free limo to their mainstores.

Finesmith opens a new era of jewelry and accessories!

by

Yula Finesmith dared something new for the idea of jewelry and accessories. The new “FlaSH” line that she created goes a very new and yet seen way. Usually if you have jewelry it is made to look most realistic. Yula Finesmith follows the possibilities you have in Second Life to attach prims where ever you like. In RL you need a piercer to have jewelry attached to your body like earrings or belly rings..not all parts of the body are made for such ;). In SL you can attach prims where ever you want and follow your creativity and ideas like you want… you just have to dare! This can be the great start or an amazing fashion trend… you just have to find out if you like it… I LOVE IT!!!

First lets take a look at the new “Acupuncture” Set of Finesmith. You have no chains and no little wholes in your ears where the jewelry is connected to. Just long acupuncture needles that hold  noble metal frames with amazing black gems in it! The needles just stick in the side of your head or the velvet flesh of your chest… the thought maybe painful but the look is awesome!

The second set our of this new “FlaSH” collection is called “Victorian Secret”. There you have huge tubes that are simply plugged in your ears and carry amazing tear drops that hanging down on long filigree lines. Little copper spherules decorate the basic silver-white set perfect. The ‘necklace’ if you can call it like that is also just a huge tube that carries also this incredible looking teardrop. On the top part you have also those filigree lines that go to every side carrying those tear drops decorated again with the little copper spherules. There the term “Who wants to be pretty has to suffer” gets a whole new meaning 😉

The last set for today has the gret name “Deco Set” and it really means it 😉 A combination of copper and blue dominate this beautiful set. Technically in RL it would be very hard to realize as the earrings just pierced in the sie of the head and the fantastic necklace just was pinned into the cleavage. But SL gives us the possibility… ‘Fashion is Art’ I heard a lot of people saying and Yula Finesmith, genius designer of Finesmith made it come true. For me a new era of jewelry in SL. Thanks a lot for daring Yula!

PurpleMoon – News and Showreview ;)

by

Today I have a little combination of a new release and some great outfits that I was allowed to showcase for the amazing PurpleMoon/Finesmith fashion show at BLVD. For first lets take a look on the new “Tango” outfit.

This outfit you can wear in 2 different versions. The first possibility is a sweet wide top that has an amazing huge neck collar.

The pants can be worn with or without the leg sleeves. The pants are made of  a dark grey / black texture that let imagine a light rough-looking fabric and the white line adds a wonderful elegant touch. The neat hat also is part of the outfit!

For the second version you can wear we also see that there is nother color available for the “Tango” outfit 😉 Here I just took off the wide top prim and the leg sleeves. The hat I changed to one of the new fantastic hair attachments, named “Era” that come with the perfect matching hairbases! So stay tuned for the new releases that will happen 😉

Last weekend the BLVD Agency had an amazing show showing off amazing creationd from PurpleMoon and Finesmith. It was an awesome combination of dreamy outfits and perfectly matching elegant and stylish looking jewelry.

My first outfit was a stunning dark blue gown named “Sue”. This great evening gown is the perfect outfit for an elegant night out. The amazing skirt falls down to the ground and moves behind you with every step. The aerial ruffles that decorate the chest make beautiful filigree looking touch. The neat little blue flowers are amazingly detailed and light the dark blue perfect. Another great highlight we have with the head part. A huge headpart that repeats the roses of the dress and has a little train in the back. Perfect for every fashionista who likes to turn heads!

As it was made for, the “Tension” set from Finesmith looks as a perfect addition to this stunning gown. The half round earrings that become smaller to the end like a half-moon decorate your ears. The same theme you have for the bracelet where 2 of that ‘half moons’ surround your wrist. FOr the perfect finish I added the “Metallic Silver” nails from PurpleMoon.

Another great outfit I was wearing for the show was the “Zasha” dress in bronze. A very tight dress that accents a well-shaped fashionistas body 😉 The horizontal stripes of the main texture adds a modern look to the whole dress. The top is shoulder free and makes great room for a huge edgy necklace like the “Kitsch Couture” necklace from Finesmith. The black gloves and the mermaid looking skirt prim in black make a nice frame where the texture of the dress is fantastic highlighted.

The incredible “Kitsch Couture” necklace and bracelet, made by Finesmith are the perfect addition if it comes to the jewelry part for this dress. The 3 different gold colors go perfect with the bronze and black texture of the dress that has neat little ornaments if you take a closer look. Together with the “Sun” face tattoo, made by White Widow and the “Invicta” hairstyle from Miamai the whole outfit was perfect for the runway 🙂

But if you make your way to the PurpleMoon Mainstore you can see way more of Poulet Koenkamp’s creation and you will really have a hard time to think wich one you get first :p
