Cavaleiro

Today I have some wonderful news from the Hairfair 2013 again, together with one of the latest releases of SoliDea FoliEs.

This post today is a perfect example for what happens if you are not quite sure what you wanna do*giggles*

Solidea+Maimai Gautcho 002

I was fooling around with some clothing and just tried the “Blue” outfit from SoliDea FoliEs as  got the latest releases for the Hairfair from Miamai.

I tried all the wonderful new hair styles as I came across the “Latin Lover” style. A wonderful unisex ponytail with a hat. I was looking at myself for sometime not sure what I shall think, as all of a sudden  a picture of the portoguese Cavaleiros. Cavaleiros are male or female horseman or woman, kinda riders, out of the 18th century.  Maybe it was a female version of a spanish Matador even, I have no clue what made my mind fly off like that*grins* but I saw me sitting with my new made style on a horseback*siggles*

I am sure the “Blue” outfit was not made for this purpose, but it was just too tempting to give it a try. Usually you have a huge headpiece of petals as well for your head I just skipped that for the “Latino Lover” hairstyle from Miamai. I added some nipple pastsies and a necklace from DECO… and for sure the horse*grins* The “Blue” outfit is a pants outfit with awesome huuuge ruffles and a wonderful mesh corset. The petals give a wonderfil payful touch to the whole outfit.

And now the horror started.. find a horse and a sim.. after looking for 2 days I found both and had a lot of fun fooling around with the various possibilities of the horse in front of a beautiful background.  I wanted to give the pics an aged, used look. As I never did that before it was al ot of experimenting but I am happy about the outcome so far 😉

The Hairfair will be gone soon so make sure you go and buy for a good case, as many donations go to the Wigs for Kids charity!

Seasons of Couture – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

by

season of couture_1

For the June 2013 issue of the BoSL Magazine, I had the great pleasure to work with Natzuka again. Our fresh crowned MVW 2013, was always a person I adored for her photography skills and for the person she is. So you can imagine how happy I was, when Persia asked me if I would like to work with Natzuka for a spread for Seasons of Couture… for sure I would like, what a question!

season of couture_2

Seasons of Couture… what is that you might ask. Seasons of Couture is a special project by BoSL & Co. Over 20 of the best designers on the grid, created RL inspired seasonal styles. At the Seasons of Couture you can get the designs for 30% off the retail price, but only a 100 of each. After that 100 they will go with the regular prize to the designers Mainstores.

season of couture_3

So Natzuka and me went to the Seasons of Couture store at the Renaissance Galleria. She was supposed to do the pictures and I thought she will choose the ones, that go best together for the pictures. As she asked me wich ones I liked the most… I totally was surprised and super happy and for sure 2 black designs by Azull Ash and  YK jumped into my eyes, as my most favourite color is black. Natzuka chose 2 great contrast colors to the black by ghee and SoliDea FoliEs and I got more and more excited what the pics will look like. She showed me some ideas of RL graphics and pictures, what she had in mind and my jaw dropped down. The ideas looked amazing and with Natzuka’s skills I was sure, if someone can pull that out, it is her. But we still needed 2 more outfits to make a total of 4 pics, with always the both of us and it really was a hard choice with all the amazing creations that we saw. All of a sudden Natzuka pointed on a pink dress and I saw her face expression… she looked lightly evil with a huge grin as her finger pointed towards a wonderful design of Bliss Couture but in pink! I got scared… she knows my pink allergy and I really thought she wanna torture me, but her face became all smooth and nice again, as she said: “I like this one” and my muscles relaxed again. She looked further and asked me what I think about a light green even some teal looking color to the pink and pulled me towards a design of Sonatta Morales. I thought it is a tough combination but if she can see it in front of her inner eye, I trust her. You can see exactly that combination on the picture above and it was one of the most amazing pictures I ever saw, so yes this woman really knows her job and I again got proved it did right by trusting her. For the last picture she decided to go on a gold and white combination, a very elegant one by Countdown and Azull Ash. If I look over all this 4 pictures I guess we found a real nice mixture that show, how many different styles you can find at the Seasons of Couture. Anyways if formal, elegant, avantgarde, casual or what ever you look for, you always will find something that matches your styling ideas.

For the credits of the outfits you can take a look at the actual BoSL Magazin (http://magazine.thebestofsl.com/fashion/june-2013)

Thanks a lot Persia for the opportunity <3

Thanks so much Natzuka, for this incredible amazing pictures and the time we spent for making them. It is always fun to work or hang out with you 🙂

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Lady in Red No.1

by

Lady in Red I full

A few days ago I met again a person, that was very important in my life for quite some time. It was in the beginning times of my SL. He was always there for me and helped me a lot when my RL was not that shiny as it should have been. We had a wonderful time together, that I will never forget…

A few days ago when I was looking through my friendlist, I still saw his name and even when he was offline I felt I had to leave him a few lines just .. just because I felt I had to 😉 As I logged in the other day again, he wrote me and answer and after sending offliners back and forward we made it to be online to the same time even if it sadly only was a few minutes. We met at his home ant it was a great feeling to see each other after such a long time. I still heard the ducks that I remember so well… the time we could spend was way too short but before he had to log we danced to our song once again and that really brought up the old memories in a very emotional way. It is a song that is very special to us because of many reasons, which I would like to keep as a secret but I will not hide the song itself 😉 The song is called Lady in Red from Chris de Burgh. Sadly due German music rights, I found no good quality file on youtube to share but I would like to share the lyrics:

Lady in Red

I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright

I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red
Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here

It’s just you and me
It’s where I want to be
And I hardly know
there’s beauty by my side
I’ll never forget
the way you look tonight

I’ve never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright
You were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled,
It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love
as I do tonight
The lady in red
Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here

It’s just you and me
It’s where I want to be
And I hardly know
there’s beauty by my side
I’ll never forget
the way you look tonight
I never will forget
the way you look tonight

The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red

I love you

(Chris de Burgh)

Lady in Red I face

As I wanted to dedicate that post to Ryyan, I wanted to bring back the lady in red kinda 😉 Miamai had a wonderful red dress in their latest releases. The “Esther” dress. It had a wonderful red version and so I decided to take that as the base for my Lady in Red No.1 😉 I have some more in mind at the moment so I call it my Lady in Red No. 1 😉

The wonderful floppy hat is a special version made for me by Baboom and for the jewelry I decided to go for the “Shameless” necklace and bracelet from Finesmith and some earrings where I do not even remember the label anymore as I have them in forever 😉 Since the Lady in Red always had something mystical for me I wanted to cover her eyes with some glasses that kinda hide them and I chose the “Cubism Shades” from epoque.

There is things in the past what never will be the same again, but still the memories noone can take from you.

I hope you enjoyed my memories and my Lady in Red No. 1 😉

Dedicated to Ryyan Susenko

The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 11

by

TRPH #4 - Ezura+PP full

The Runway Perfect Hunt goes in it’s 4th round :) . Morgane Batista again made it, to get amazing designers to participate in one of the most famous hunts on the grid. Even if the title says “The hunt with models in mind” does not mean this hunt is limited to models only. All the amazing and versatile designs are amazing additions to everybody’s wardrobe, even the males will find some amazing hunt prizes in some locations ;) This year the hunt is not a total freebie hunt, each hunt item costs $5 Linden. With a total of 50 shops you reach a maximum of $250 Linden, what is a great amount for so many amazing quality designs!

Till Friday TRPH #4 does last, then all the amazing items will be gone… So I will use the chance for my final post about this amazing hunt.

My final styling is based on the amazing contribution of Ezura to the Runway Perfect Hunt. Ezura made the beautiful “Velvet Long Gown” in dark brocade green. The basic dress is mesh made and you have a wonderful optional flexible skirt attachment as well. For this post, I decided to go without to show the basic mesh prim a bit better, basically you get 2 gowns in one 😉 The shoulder free gown is perfect for a formal or elegant attire. With the free shoulders it lets room for amazing jewelry.

Speaking of jewelry, I would like to drag your attention over to the earrings. Pure Poison made a wonderful pair of earrings for the hunt. The silver earrings with the black gems made a perfect accessory for the “Velvet Long Gown”.

For the hair I decided to go with the “Chevia” hair from EMO-tions to underline the elegant look of the styling.

TRPH #2 001

The Runway Perfect Hunt goes in it’s 4th round :). Morgane Batista again made it, to get amazing designers to participate in one of the most famous hunts on the grid. Even if the title says “The hunt with models in mind” does not mean this hunt is limited to models only.

With a total of 50 shops you reach a maximum of $250 Linden, what is a great amount for so many amazing quality designs!

For today I would like to spotlight the first 4 stores with a mix & match styling.

First store would be *PosESioN*, store #19. Dahriel made a little set of 5 poses called “Andromeda”, made for females only. Maybe the brave guys wanna give it a try as well 😉

The outfit comes from location #28, Svart. Angexx Quandry created one male and one female outfit. Certainly I used the female one called “Ren”. Shorts and top are mesh made and come in various sizes to make sure that it fits all kind of avatars.

The super cool hat comes from Xen’s Hats. A blue Feodora style looking hat with an amazing texture, that really gives the hat a realistic fabric.

The amazing lips gloss was provided by [mock]. The “Mariellis Lip Shine” comes in 3 different colors and each has 3 different versions.

To complete my styling I added the “Cubism” glasses from epoque because they underlined the retro feeling, that came with the outfit and the hat,  in such an amazing way. The jewelry is one of my long times favourites from Mandala called “Sinra”.

The Runway Perfect Hunt will last until the 30th of May so do not hesitate too long to grab your hunt prizes 😉

Fabulous New Jewelry Dresses at Chop Zuey

by

Emerals Spring Gown 003

I guess we all remember the legendary white jewelry dress that was auctioned this year at the RFL Fashion Week for over 200 000 lindens. Frolic walked this spectacular gown down the runway, that Belle Roussel, owner of Chop Zuey, designed especially for this charity event. I remember that all of us that walked that runway show were standing backstage and became more and more speechless and as well breathless until the gown finally was sold for so much money… for me sadly way out of range. But it was amazing that one single design can bring so much support for a wonderful cause like the RLF.

Emerals Spring Gown 002

Now this amazing gown is back in new colors! Belle Roussel made a few new colors of this fantastic jewelry gown. For today’s post I decided to showcase the “Emerald Spring Gown”. The wonderful light green dress is decorated with so many wonderful little gemstones, if the sun kisses you you will sparkle like a huge diamond 😉 The earrings, bangles and armlets are as well part of the outfit. You have the choice if you wanna wear the gown with or without  the veil since you have one head piece with and one without the veil coming in your box.  To see all of the amazing colors of the new jewelry dress – for sure besides the exclusive white for the RFL 😉 – you better make your way to the Chop Zuey Mainstore and see for yourself.
