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

July 17, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

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”

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 😉 That is something you do not have to tell me twice*giggles*

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 😉

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 🙂

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

Black & Red with GizzA, 22769 & Wicca’s Wardrobe

June 27, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Black & Red always has been one of my favourite color combinations 🙂

This time I played with those 2 colors using some of the newer designs of GizzA and 22769 together with one of my favourite head pieces from Wicca’s Wardrobe 😉

Lets start with the dress. The amazing “Absinthe” dress, which I already showcased in the vintage edition.

The dress comes with the leggings so you have no fitting issues with the pants under the dress. Along with the dress you will get a HUD to change the inside of the dress to different colors – for me it was the vibrant red for today .

The furniture was made by 22769 and it contains some really ‘naughty’ pieces 😉

The “Black Tied Leather Bench is part of the “ROMP Fresh” set. It comes in a PG and an Adult pose menu, so you can choose wich one you would like to have. Along with the bench and it’s gret lacing in the top you have some really nice accessories… I did not use all of them for the picture but it was fun to play with parts of the “Naughty Decoration” set as you can see on the first picture. It immediately reminded me of the 50 shades of grey wave we had a few weeks ago… The whip, the handcuffs and some ice cubes on a black plate… I am sure that can be a great start for some RP 😉

The amazing fashionable head-piece, we made for our own brand, Wicca’s Wardrobe. The “RamHorn Mask” is one of our latest original mesh releases and comes in 7 different colors.

In Perfect Harmony with Machoire

March 27, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

In a world so far away
At the end of a closing day
A little child was born and raised
Deep in the forest on a hidden place
Mother never saw his face

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony

The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Fruit by birds, honey by bees
He found shelter under the trees
He grew up in their company
They became his family

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony

A thousand seasons
They passed him by
So many times, have said goodbye
And when the spirits called out his name
To join forever, forever to stay
A forest spirit he became

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony

In perfect harmony

LOTD 02/11/2015 – From SoliDea FoliEs & Miamai with Love

February 12, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Valentines Day is not too far away and today I would like to showcase one of the amazing creations of SoliDea FoliEs for the ‘Love is in the air’ event which is done by GizzA again.

Mila Tatham created this amazing “Palloncino” outfit for that special event. The short dress with the huge back part is an amazing piece which should not be missing in every fashionistas wardrobe. The dress itself carries a black fabric and the beautiful back part has a black & white striped outer and a cute and sweet pink inner side.

I will have anopther post soon about SoliDEa FoliEs, since Mila Tatham started to make her own mesh and already released her first self made mesh outfit!

To add some more dramatic feeling to it, I paired the “Palloncino” outfit with one of the latest releases from Miamai. The incredible “Claustra” head piece is available at the February round of We <3 RP event. On the first view they look kinda simple but if you take a closer look you can see the amazing detailed fabric, the runes on the top and the awesome metal veil with the tear drop gemstones. The head piece is the first release for the Black Label collection of Miamai in 2015.

The shoes are one of my latest releases for Wicca’s Wardrobe. The “Doro Booties” are made for the slink high feet and available in 10 different colors at the main store. The leather based booties have some amazing silver details like the cross on the ankle and the studds that decorate the shoe. With the silver heel they are a must have for all the cool and daring girls out there!

LOTD 01/27/2015 – Warm & Cozy

January 28, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

Today I was in a very cozy mood so I decided to dress up kinda comphy 😉

With the new “Ashly Leather Tunic” from GizzA and the new “Metallic Leggings” from Leezu, I exactly could match that mood. The “Metallic Leggings” are very comphy and still look tight and sexy. With the shiny metallic fabric they perfectly match the actual trend. The amazing folds at the ankles give a great realistic feeling. At the LeeZu main store you will find in 7 different colors and for this post I just picked the bronze ones to complement the brown of the top.

For the shoes I just made the new “Lydia” booties and all the brown golden colors inspired me to do a special new color palette for some new shoes all in a brownish, black and creme/white range. This colors for me totally go with the actual season and the trend.

The “Ashly Leather Tunic” you as well can purchase in several different colors and I am sure you will find the one that suits you at the GizzA main store.

The amazing bag that I put on the table as well comes from LeeZu and is called “Loret”. The bag you can get in several colors as well plus you can change the scarf that is hanging out with a HUD that comes with to different textures.

For the furniture I used one of my favourite sofa combination from LAQ Decor and the billboard on the wall was made by LeeZu again.

Holidays are over – Back to School with GizzA

January 17, 2015 by Wicca Merlin

The Christmas Holidays were so nice and as always way too short. This week was my first week at work again… Back to school for a new year.

2015 started very nice and I thought it was kinda funny that GizzA released the “‘Emily Dress” right in time for my first day at school again. Even if I am on the “other side” as a teacher… when I put on the “Emily Dress” I got a schoolgirl feeling 😉

The amazing dress comes in several colors of the amazing tartan. The white neck collar and the white wrists you have for all of them.

As it is still very cold I did not wanna go with bare legs and so I pulled out my “LaLun” Tights from Leezu. The sheer version just was perfect 😉

The shoes I chose because of the white socks that come together with the pants and just even more gave this school girl vive for me.

What can not be missing for a cute schoolgirl? Exactly the geek glasses :p. Mine are from Haysuriza. I chose the black frame and lenses of the 3 colors for each that are available on the HUD.

The earrings and the amazing long necklace was made by Mandala and my hair stylist for today was Tabata Jewell from Vanity Hair.

Creme & Brown Tones with Wicca’s Wardrobe

October 20, 2014 by Wicca Merlin

This picture was originally made for the actual issue of the VERSUS Magazine (http://issuu.com/versus.sl.magazine/docs/versus_aw_2014).

But I loved that picture so much that Í wanted to make a short post to it 😉

The main focus for the picture was on the accessories. With the actual autumn season I discovered my love for brown and creme tones. I started with the scenery and placed one of my favourite cupboards from LeeZu, the “Mellow Sideboard”. To match it I chose a carpet from Atelier Visconti from the “Vincent Set”.

The base was made now for some styling which I could lay on the carpet with 😉

First I remembered a jewelry set, wich I bought at Collabor88 a few ago from Mandala. The “Kyara” set had the perfect colors to start with for a picture centered around accessories in an autumn look 😉

The long necklace fell perfect over my “Captured Top”, one of my latest releases at Wicca’s Wardrobe. For the bag I remembered a huge brown/cremem colored bag with letters on it from PurpleMoon… but I did not remember the name… So I was jumping into my bag folder and tried out all the bags I have from PurpleMoon until I found the “Monogram Bag” again, that I was looking for!

While I was looking through my piercings (yes I love piercings!) I found a short necklace from Kosh that went very well even with the long necklace and my top lines that go around the neck.

To match the piercings in my face I wanted to add some cool hand jewelry and nails. The “Punk” set from Formanails was exactly what I was looking for. Some piercings at the hand, cool rings and awesome sharp nails – just awesome together. To not forget the time while shopping, I decided to put the “Asia” watch and bracelet by GizzA

The “Autumn Jeans” made to fit the “Captured Top” have a nice gradient from a dark to light brown and that again makes a very nice line to add the “Locked Heels” for Slink high feet, which you as well can find at the Wicca’s Wardrobe Mainstore now.

To keep the swag look, I wanted to add some hair with a cap and even if has some years on it’s back the “Irene” hair from Baiastice finished the style in a way I wanted it 😉

Ready for a nice window shopping trip to find more amazing items to showcase in my next blog posts 🙂

Steampunk with Yasum

September 24, 2014 by Wicca Merlin

Sometimes you have those special moods… RL becomes very heavy and you kinda use a few hours in the evening to escape your daily routine.

So it was a few days ago when I was wandering around restless and did not really know what to do as dark thoughts were not willing to release my head.

Out of the blue I found myself in a conversation with an old friend. We know each other for quite sometimes and even if we do not talk on a daily base we seem not to forget each other.

She released a new, cool design kinda ready for the “October Fest”. She showed it to me and usually she knows me very well and when she said “Probably not your cup of tea” I had to grin. Usually she is damn right with her opinion of me but this time for some strange reason I had an idea in mind for exactly that piece she just created.

I am talking about the “Bavarian Shugar” pants of Yasum.

The “Bavarian Shugar” pants immediately put a steam punk idea in my head. With the sexy high-waisted but short pants, the cute suspenders and the sexy bra make a perfect ensemble for the October Fest, but as well for a super sexy and neat steam punk look 😉 .

The pants come with a huge HUD to change the textures on the pants,the buttons and the top t various textures and colors.

I paired the sweet ensemble with the “Steampunk Hat” as well mde by Yasum. The hat as well has a huge HUD coming with , wich let you customize the various parts on the hat.

The wings are one of my long time favourite and I often use them for stylings as they are so super detailed and filigree. They are part of the “Fallen Aviator” outfit from E-Clipse.

The shoes are something, that I recently found on marketplace and just could not skip them for my closet :p

The “Hobnails” boots in tan, made by Remarkable Oblivion.

LOTD 07/02/2014 – Teal Dreams

July 3, 2014 by Wicca Merlin

You sit there, wear one thing after another from your inventory and try to fins something that inspires you. Sometimes you find one piece and nothing to add to it. But sometimes you just put one part and all of a sudden the rest of it just falls together 😉

Like it was today. I again put on the “Moxie” outfit from Purple Moon, wich was sold at The Instruments in the June 2014 round. I already saw it blogged a few times in pink and red so I wanted to go for a nother amazing color of this sexy ensemble. My choice fell on teal. I always had a weakness for black and teal maybe because of my cyber addiction 😉

The “Moxie” outfit comes with the top, belt and skirt, wich is one mesh part and the layer leggings. With those edgy shoulder parts this jacked took my heart right away. The huge belt with the big buckles at the front reminded me on some of those amazing 80s styles and with the leggings it just completed the vision. So there was not much of a thinking needed to use the super cool high plateau shoes called “Summer Breeze Flips”. The shoes are made for the slink high feet only and will not work without them.

With a HUD you can change the colors of the sole, the inner part of the show and as well the little straps.

To even more go towards the 80s direction I took my new “Punk” nails from Formanails. The nails have 2 parts. Once the sharp stiletto form nails wich can be changed in color for all of those, that are colored black in my post. The golden ones will stay for each color. The second part are the amazing rings, piercings, skulls, studs and accessories.

Those “Punk” nails are made for the slink mesh hands only with just the avatar hands it will not look properly. You can get those amazing nails and rings for the casual, elegant and elegant 1 version of the sklink hands.

As you can see on my wrist, I as well used some jewelry. This time it was parts of the “Iris” set from Finesmith.

Maybe the best to describe the feeling I had would be to quote Cyndi Lauper with “Girls Just Want To Have Fun!”

I hope you had fun too with my little roam through my closet again 😉
