Inspired by David Bowie

24077854359_c912e0a844_o

In January, when the incredible David Bowie passed away way too early, I was asked if I would like to be part of a special in the Eclipse Magazine.

When Trouble asked me if I would like to be part, I did not even need one second to think about and instantly said yes. He asked us to style something that was inspired of one of the David Bowie songs. One of my favourites always was Space Oddity.

Whe I was told who will take the picture, I was jumping up and down as it was Anderian Sugarplum, one of my favourite photographers and as well a very dear friend. I did know now, with her, I can do all weird stuff and ideas, as she always is able to realize or understand my crazy stuffs πŸ˜‰

When we met we did some brainstorming and she asked me what I had in mind for my styling or picture. When I told her about and as well showed her the amazing “Alien Drone” from E.V.E Studio, she immediately had an amazing idea for a set and started building it while I finalized my styling πŸ˜‰

When I saw the result, I was blown away. I really did love it so much and it was exactly the feeling and mood, I had when I putΒ  the whole look together!

Thank you so much for another amazing picture Anderian <3

FEROSH for SLB12: Marie Antoniette “Let them eat cake” 1780’s couture

Anoinette 2

Round about 2 weeks ago I was allowed to be part of a wonderful and exciting show done by FEROSH for the SLB12.

The big SL Birthdays are always very amazing done events and so it was a pleasure to be allowed to be part of that.

FEROSH was asked to do a fun show for the event and Absinthe and her Team chose a very special theme for that show.

“Marie Antoinette “Let them eat cake” 1780’s couture”

Anoinette 1

For the stylings of the show we got 2 sponsors, that supported FEROSH for that special show. AZUL and SoliDea FoliEs.

I had the pleasure to style one of the amazing AZUL gowns called “Francesca”.

I loved that dress so much for that theme because of the puffy, fluffy skirt and the amazing fabric with the dark delicate lace on the wonderful amethyst satin looking fabric.

It was the perfect base to create a modern “Marie Antoinette” look for that special event. We were told as well to see it as a fun show and to get crazy with our ideas πŸ˜‰ That is something you do not have to tell me twice*giggles*

Anoinette 3

First I was looking for some huge hair, like those super high wigs that were so popular in that time. I found several ones but all that I found did more a classical look of that time period as that i wanted them too. So I went through my ‘special’ hair folder and found the “Lou” hair from Zibska”. I always loved the crazy and wild ideas of Zib Scaggs for her hair and clothing so, it was the perfect match for what I had in mind πŸ˜‰

To customize it a bit more towards the theme I added some cupcakes, which I made myself. While I was decorating the hair with the cupcakes, the idea of some more cupcakes on the dress was born as well :p

For the face I wanted a mystic touch as well as some hint to that time period as well. The “Vendetta Lips” from Madrid Solo come close of the heart lips, wich were very popular to the Marie Antoinette look, but we well they looked more modern and were going with my idea for the look so much better.

The amazing mask was made by Illusion and thanks to a color change menu I was able to match it to the rest of the styling. To get some more mystic and maybe dark touch, I added a laced eye mask under it.

To bring back the rose shaped parts of the dress I wanted some jewelry that picks up that idea but would not be too colorful. The choice fell on the “Shippoah” set from Mandala.

The show it self was one of the most fun shows I was allowed to walk lately and the FEROSH team and models made it really easy to have fun as well πŸ™‚

Thank you Absi and all that was with me in that wonderful show for an amazing experience, that paired fun and professionalism!

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

Bubbles Yellow 001

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 aΒ  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] πŸ˜‰

Official Gown of Miss Benin for EOE 2012 by Styles by Danielle

The “Lynxa”gown was made for Essence of Ebony 2012 contest and was worn by Miss Benin – Lynxa on the final day.
The original color – orange with yellow and green represents the country of Benin, and not only by the colors and fabrics, but with the style as well.
The hat is an inseparable part of a Benin folk dress and for Lynxa it has been especially crafted here in SL.
The real eye-catcher on this gown is the golden texture. Gold is, for sure, the hardest one to reproduce in SL, and Dani Plassitz, owner and designer of Styles by Danielle,Β  has tried her best to make you shine like the sun.
Every detail of the dress is carefully put together. The front jewel and the back sheer fabric are modifiable for you to perfectly adjust it to your shape. The skirts attached to legs come with the special resizer that can resize in any direction. This is especially helpful if your av is very tall or very small.
The “Lynxa Gold” jewelry set that is made especially to complete this gown.
The rhombus and gems resemble the fabric design, and the gold shine is underlined by the texture itself.
The set is transferable and it consists of: necklace, two bracelets, earrings and the ring worn on the index finger.

Wicca’s Wardrobe: YAY! I made it :) – Finale Outfit for H.O.R. Casting

(Picture by House of Rage)

House of Rage was holding a casting for new models for their staff. As I adore House of Rage for a while, I dared to enter the challenge πŸ™‚ For the first round we got an outfit we had to style and do a picture from. That style I already posted a few ago πŸ™‚ (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/wiccas-wardrobe-my-look-for-the-house-of-rage-casting/). We got the outfit at the House of Rage Mainstore and had to put our own touch to it with accessories. I really liked that idea as all have the same basics to begin with. As I was told that I made it with a few others to the next round I was happy like a child on christmas ;). For the finale round of the casting we were told to develop our own look with the wonderful creations of House of Rage. I went to the H.O.R. Mainstore and looked around a while, not really able to decide only one outfit. With my addiction to mix and match I came on the idea just to combine a few different outfits and make my own look out of it. As I arrived at the casting I really became nervous. I did not know if it was right to mix and match different H.O.R. outfits or if they wanted to see a full outfit only. I saw all the other contestants and they looked fabulous, thatΒ  made me even more nervous :p

With my name for sure I again was last to walk out :). We first had to walk our styling of the first round and then in another walk the new one. At the end of the runway, Topaz and Lovely waited on us and we had a short interview at the end of our second walk. Both were very nice and kind and made it easier for us and as well they took some of my nervousness :).

A few days later we got the result on a wonderful picture (the one I started the post with), a really nice idea to show results of a casting πŸ™‚

Thank you so much Topaz, Lovely, Lybra and Nox for making a dream come true and be a part of House of Rage πŸ™‚

Mesh News from Prism!

We all know the awesomeness and problems of the new mesh clothing in SL πŸ™‚ Many designers already released mesh clothing and it really is a wonderful possibility to let the avatar look with certain clothes come more real. No more silly knee angles, no more skirts that fall trough chairs if you sit on. The idea of mesh really is a great revolution, even if there has to be done much more work on still.Everyone that uses one of the mesh featured SL viewers, can wear mesh.

Prism now released their first mesh dress as well. A wonderful short dress that can be used in all kind of stylings you can think of. I decided to go for a kinda Rockabilly styling, because I really liked that with that dress ;). Journey included 3 different sizes of the dress and 2 different alpha layers to make it fit better. For mesh you cannot anymore edit the prims, when you wear them, so that different sizes really make sense and with 3 options you pretty much have a good chance to make it fit your shape. For this post I used the “London Leather” version of “Adele” and I am sure if you make your way to the Prism Mainstore you will find many more amazing colors and versions of the “Adele” dress πŸ™‚ Dare to wear mesh :p
