Incredible Autumn News by Tres Beau!!!

Yesterday I had the great honor to judge at the Styling Forward contest with Frolic Mills and Kimmera Madison. It was great fun and we saw someΒ  cool Halloween stylings. After the show, Kimmera, Edi and me, talked a while and had fun in some pose stores. During that time Kimmera gave me 2 of her new designs. Not long after I excused myself and went into my dark corner to look at the outfits… WOW!!! Both are incredible great and so perfect for the actual season! I was sitting over my inventory to find a few things to style this wonderful outfits quite a while, but then it looked like I wanted it to be :p …

The first you can see in the pic above is called “Flight”. The huge feather collar inspired me to use the great face tattoo from Miamai that reminded me of some feathers of dark birds as well. That brought me on those 2 crows and the dead tree in the back ;). The lipstick was made by Oceane and the earrings are one of my longtime favourite, the “Vivienne” earrings made by yula Finesmith. The boots and the hat are as well part of that amazing “Flight” outfit of Tres Beau!!!

The second outfit for today as well from Tres Beau will be the “Meryl” dress in red…

On this dress you again can see Kimmera’s skills and possibilities if it comes to designing. The beautiful corsage has a handpainted texture as usual for Tres Beau clothing. That for me it makes it very special, as you really can see nearly every brush line, that is needed to make such a wonderful and unique texture! I only can imagine how long it takes to draw and paint such a filigree texture. What I always adored on Kimmera’s work is that the textures seem to move with the avatar… the texture hardly gets stretched weird or destroyed while my pixels move. The awesome sheer skirt as well is a pice of art if you see how it moves with the avatar. TheΒ  right flexibility and moving time to let it look really real. The 2 big ornaments at the left hip and the head make amazing eyecatchers and give an extra touch of elegnance to the whole outfit. If you visit the Tres Beau Mainstore you will find a lot more of the amazing creations of Kimmera Madison and I am sure you will as well find one for you πŸ˜‰

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 09/28/2011

Yesterday before my LeeZu shift I was thinking about what I could wear. I went to my LeeZu part of my wardrobe and after 2 hours… yes the LeeZu part is not small *grins… I came across a really beautiful gown that I was not wearing for quite sometime. I pulled it our of the wardrobe and put it on. “A Mon Insu” is a very elegant and still playful gown with all the cute ruffles and roses. And as I anyways was in an elegant mood from my last post, I really enjoyed styling this wonderful gown ;). For the jewelry I chose the earrings and necklace of the “Giz” set from Finesmith Designs. The skin is one of the new Glam Affair skins called “Gio”. For the hair I searched some to repeat the ruffle and rose theme of the gown and my choice fell on the “Cileste” hair, made by Bliss Couture. Even if you cannot see the shoes on the pic, I have to tell, that it was the “ChiChi” pumps in black from Maitreya as I loved them so much with their sweet crossed lines ;). Last look in the mirror to check… perfect! Lets go to LeeZu and work my shift as usual at Wednesday 11AM SLT πŸ˜‰

“Jenie” – The new mesh gown by Angel Dessous!

Mesh more and more enters Second Life. And Nando Korobase, designer of Angel Dessous works hard on more and more mesh outfits… with a great success it seems if I look at the latest release – the “Jenie” gown.

“Jenie” is available in different versions for the texture and I am sure you will find yours if you make your way to the Angel Dessous Mainstore. The slim dress makes a wonderful shape and the added floating skirt prims give a wonderful elegant touch. A sweet eyecatcher is the wonderful brooche that comes in black or silver with every verion of the gown. All versions are made in differnt black and white shades.

As I was talking to Nando lately, we were joking around a bit and came across all the crazy stylings that I made with his outfits and I promised him to do some pictures as a good girl with classy stylings :p. The “Jenie” gown was perfect for this experiment πŸ˜‰ I hope I did succeed… πŸ™‚ and could proove, that I am not only the weird, crazy Wicca and can do differnt… if I want to :p

Miamai – A special dress for a special cause!!!

Monica Outlander:

“What happens when you ask a five year old self ordained Princess “What’s your dream gown, Raven?” Well of course you get the response of “PINK AND SPARKLY AND HEARTS AND PINK AND BUTTERFLIES AND MORE PINK AND BALLERINNAAAAAA!”
Luckily I’m *also* deep down a five year old self ordained Princess really, and my favourite things also happen to be pinksparklyheartybutterflyeyballerina stuff too. And so Raven Sparklefairy ordained that this gown be created, and who am I to argue with royalty? I hope that the little girl inside you gets as big a thrill out of this dress as we both did.

The Raven Sparklefairy gown was also made as a special 100% fundraising item to the Extend A Helping Hand charity now happening; this wonderful event run by Sanura Sakai is providing immediate disaster relief to the victims of the floods that are currently devastating Queensland in Australia.

Why am I involved? There is a family in Australia that have adopted me through Second Life, through a beloved friend of mine and although they aren’t anywhere near the affected state, they are still saddened by the news. And there isn’t a better way to cheer up a little girl than to make her dreams come to life, especially when those dreams result in one of the cheeriest things I’ve ever made.
At the moment Raven Sparklefairy – named after the little girl and her title – is only available at the EAHH location, but afterwards will be added to the permanent Black Label designs at Miamai.
Because the Princess demands it.”

First “Mesh” dress at Angel Dessous!!!

Lately i got my first mesh dress from Nando Korobase, designer of Angel Dessous. Thank god I just had down loaded the new mesh viewer *grins*

I have to admit I was a bit unsure and scared as I heard first time of the new mesh feature, that it requires another new viewer and that you cannot edit the clothing anymore… but after I saw how mesh clothing reacts while wearing it… I was totally amazed.

No more texture stretching, no more silly skirt prims between the legs, no more weird prims on ankles, knees and elbows or anywhere else… simply great!

What is true is that you cannot anymore edit the clothing itself so you have to modify your shape to make the clothing fit. Angel Dessous included 3 sizes of dresses with matching shapes that guarantee a perfect fit. I changed my own shape lightly to make one of the sizes fit. The “Katy” dress is available in different colors – for my blog I chose blacksatin, sunflower and orange πŸ™‚

We can be curious what Nando Korobase will create next to let us ladies look awesome πŸ˜‰
