‘Fashion for Life’ is the longest running and most successful fashion fair in Second Life ™ and marks the annual start of the official  ‘Relay for Life’ events that take place inworld each year.

All donations are given directly to the ‘Relay for Life’ general fund which benefits the ‘American Cancer Society’ and its thousands of beneficiaries who rely on the charity for support and advice.

Fashion for Life is a hundred percent not for profit, and all organisation, building work and coordination are driven by the work of its volunteers which helps to maximise donated money.

So what’s New for 2012?

This year, Fashion for Life spans an incredible TEN lag free sims with over 200 stores selling the latest fashions, accessories, hair and unique designer items made especially for this event. There will also be gacha areas, a hunt, a raffle and a SALE- all with the end goal of raising funds for the American Cancer Society via SL.

The sims will be laid out in a cross formation and will represent the theme “Its Time…” with builds representing stages in time:  past, present, future and timeless. All building and landscaping have been created by some of SL’s top designers and builders to produce a beautiful environment for your charity shopping sprees!

Alongside the fabulous fashion, there will be a sim dedicated to providing a minimum of 12 hours entertainment and activities every day, so you can socialise, have fun and meet new people too.

Our sims have been kindly sponsored by ‘Dream Seeker Estate Corporation’ which has drastically reduced admin expenses, helping to free up even more money for Relay for Life.

Harper Beresford, Fashion for Life Lead executive says:
“Fashion for Life is not just about fashion and it’s not just about fund raising-it’s about supporting the members of our community in SL who have been touched by cancer.”

Cancer touches everyone. We sincerely hope you join us in this kick-off event for Relay for Life in SL, helping raise money for the American Cancer Society.

SAS – Sascha’s Design: “Essence”

Again I have wonderful news of Sascha’s Design today. This stunning black gown is called “Essence” and as always for SAS designs you have various versions do wear this wonderful gown. For this creation you have 4 different skirts to choose from. For today I would like to show you 2 very different of them. The long fluffer skirt, that you can see above and the beautiful hipswirl version below 😉

“Essence” shows the great skills of Sascha Frangilli, when it comes to elegant evening designs. The clothing layers are made very detailed and the huge shoulder part adds a lot of glamour to the whole gown. The mixture of the silver flowers and the black sharp flexible and sheer prims in the back… stunning.

For the hair I chose something very special. One of the latest creations of Mysterious Mystica, owner and designer of Bizarre Hair. “Chanel” this hairstyle is called and it comes with the matching earrings to the hair jewelry. The hairstyle basically I would call an elegant hairstyle… but with a twist to become something special. I like it a lot of it is not just common elegant and has the special little something that makes it unique. The hair is fully scripted and you can change the color to 7 different ones. The matching hairbases are included in the pack as well. Some of the Bizarre hairstyles even have some special features like little attachments you can get over the menu.. I will not yet tell wich ones but I can tell you they are very cute :p. If you cannot yet wait you can make your way to the Bizarre Hair Mainstore after you purchased you new “Essence” gown at the SAS Mainstore 😉

H.O.R. – House of Rage opens the doors with “Evolution”!!!

I got the great opportunity to show you – right before the upcoming event (points above) – 2 of the new gowns of House of Rage, that are part of the “Evolution” line.

The first one would be “Lorna”. A wonderful, delicate and classy black shaded, high fashion gown.

The awesome detailed made feathers, are a special highlight on this gown. As you can see black has not to be black. All the great lights and shadows, show the ability of texturing and design that you will find in every outfit of the “Evolution” line. The feathers are dreamy flexible and you will turn heads if you walk this gown over the red carpet or any other event you choose to wear it 🙂

A perfect addition for this stunning evening gown were the new “Core” jewelry set from Finesmith Design the fresh and sharp edges and the pearls made a perfect finish for me 🙂

My second gown for today would be “Vila”…

“Vila” goes more in a sexy and couture direction, but even then you will see the high quality  what this gown is made with. “Vila” is a mixture of so many different fabrics, that you have to take more then one look to discover all the amazing details. The corset is an opaque, tight black basic. If you zoom closer, you can see the amazing ornaments that decorate even the corset.

The bodice is made of beautiful lace and the sheer character adds a very sexy and young, modern touch. The skirt, as well a sheer fabric glimmers and sparkles in an awesome way. As additional decoration you have a wonderful lace prim for the right shoulder and the head also. For this amazing dress I chose as well one of the latest releases from Finesmith Design, called “Optimism”. Yula Finesmith released 7 pairs of earrings a few days ago and yesterday the matching necklaces… so run and see them all at the Mainstore 😉

To see more of the incredible and georgious new designs of the H.O.R. “Evolution” line you should make your way to the upcoming event at 4PM, as well as to the House of Rage Mainstore, where you can find many many other wonderful designs of the 3 amazing ladies Lybra Rage, Topaz Joubert and LovelyMiwako7399 Menna.

See you at 4PM… 😉

New Fall Collection 2011 at Baiastice!!!

Sissy Pessoa, owner and designer of Baiastice released her actual Fall Collection 2011. So many awesome new releases that it really was hard to decide… but finally my choice fell on 2 outfits of the actual collection… for now :p

The first one, named “Praga”, totally catched my eyes. Very high fashion and unusual and definitely something that turns heads with the corset and skirt that are connected with sexy garters. The light, long-sleeved top makes a perfect contrast to the black tones. “Praga” is available in 4 different colors. To style it I chose shoes from N-Core, hair from LoQ and an amazing eye mask and earrings from Finesmith Design.

The second design, that caught my eyes was “Ethel”. A black short dress as well with a corset and huge shoulderparts. Of “Ethel” you will find 2 more awesome fall colors if you take a look at the Baiastice Mainstore. To make the look complete I took hair from Vanity Hair, shoes from Miamai and again jewelry made by Finesmith Design.

As well part of the Baiastice Fall Collection 2011 is a limited, special edition skin…

“Nina, a very light skin in the tone ‘porcelaine’ will only be available for a certain time…to show as much as possible of skin I just put on Ezura‘s “Avant Garde E.T.” outfit and skipped the prims.

“Nina” has 10 different makeups and comes without eyebrows… what made it finally possible to use my Nuuna’s Skins eyebrow makeups 🙂 The incredible black jewelry are parts of the Finesmith Design “Noir” Collection.

Also Sissy Pessoa created one of the new mesh dresses…

This awesome leather “Minix Dress” can be purchased in 5 more colors and is one of the wonderful new ‘mesh’ creations that require one of the new mesh viewers, other wise you are not able to see it. For this dress I chose the “Diconay” set by Finesmith Design.

To see the whole Fall Collection 2011 of Baiastice you can take a look at the Baiastice Mainstore 🙂

Summer in the City at Vero Modero

Vero Modero – fresh, smart and modern. For today I have 2 wonderful outfits for you made by Bouquet Babii, designer of Vero Modero that match perfectly the actual season. Flowerprint and big amazing ornaments dominate the 2 wonderful stylings. Lets take  closer look on the one I am wearing in this post 😉

The amazing aerial and delicate “Blossom Top” fits perfectly to the summer theme. the basic white fabric is ornamented with sweet little flowers and ranks, very detailed and totally filigree.

The beautiful pants are as well from Vero Modero, called “Marine Low Rise Bermuda”. For my styling I chose the white version, Oralee the blue version. The pants are as well made with the love for the detail if you take a closer look on the sweet folds, shadows and the goden buttons! Perfectly dressed for a sunny summer day 🙂 If you wanna see more of the beautiful creations of Vero Modero you should make your way to the Mainstore and take a look by your self!
