Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 01/30/2012 – The Day After…

by

30th of January… 2007 I was born in SL and now we have 2012… 5 years in SL, that’s a long time. I usually tend to forget that date as I did today. I realized it as the clock on my computer turned to 1AM and the date switched*grins*. So, today.. or better yesterday, I spent my SL day with styling and making pictures… like mostly*lol*. I had an argument lately with a few ppl about corsets. Some wanted to tell me corsets are fetish, others told me they are porn and some said corsets are lingerie only. But I disagreed and still do. Corsets came from way in the past before we had all those fancy leather and latex stuff and they were part of awesome medieval gowns for example.

So I took myself to a challenge that I can wear corsets without any touch of all that prejudices and create a modern non avantgarde look. Ok I admit… it turned out in some postapocalyptic again lightly but that might be because of my favour for this kinda pictures *smiles* Maybe if you just put the whole outfit in a different scenery it looks different again, but the big hoodie on the “Anath” jacket of Miamai. The rats that are placed over the shoulder just underlined the feeling of the day after a worldwide catastrophe where you just wake up and try to survive, maybe try to find other people and some food. The white corset comes from NV Corsetry. I discovered this store over 2 of my sissies, Lexie and Lorelei. The introduced me to Khurt Vhargon, owner and designer of NV Corsetry. He makes a very new kind of corsets, fully scripted to resize them in every direction. You can choose if you only wanna make it longer or wider and not just resize the full object… really an innovation for corsets in SL. As well he created so many different styles and different fabrics that you really get in trouble if you visit his store as you have a hard time to choose. The newest addition to that corsets is, that now he can help you fit the corset as well if you cannot do it on your own with a remote control of the script. That means he can operate the script while you are wearing his corsets. I only saw this technique at BAX before for the boots and it will be really helpful, if you are not yet that experienced in SL with fittings and scripts and still wanna wear one of his amazing corsets 🙂

For the pants I chose one of my all time favourites from LeeZu, the “Madison” pants. The earrings and bracelets come from Finesmith and the face tattoo from White Widow, as well favourite stores of mine 🙂 The skin is made by Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon. She made me this special makeup for the “Rookie” skin, called “Childhater” as I wanted black lips and dark smokey eyes. One example for the great custom makeups you can get from Silken Moon 🙂 As I had to walk through water for that post :p the water swallowed the cool “Pomski” boots from Kookie…

I hope I could prove my opinion, that corsets are not only porn, fetish, lingerie or avantgarde… they can be so much more and as well a part of everyday looks if you combine them with jeans and a casual blouse :). *makes a note to herself for a new look*

And so I will bring the box I found, in the water at the beginning of my post,  back home and see what I got…

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Monaco 2012 by Tres Beau

by

Our Miss Monaco 2012, Miss Vivienne Darcy, was allowed to walk this lovely piece of gold in representing the second smallest country of the world. Monaco as well is the second smallest monarchy in the world and the most densely populated country in the world. From all the news papers and TV reports we know that the rich and beautiful live in Monaco with all their yachts, motor boats and expensive lifestyle. According to that Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau, designed this incredible golden gown for Miss Monaco 2012. The basic dress is made with so awesome skills that you really can see the golden shine what seems not that easy, as gold and silver are two of the most difficult colors to work with I was told. The huge prim parts on the side and in the back add even more elegance to the whole dress.

First I was thinking about huge and super sophisticated jewelry but then… I did not want to drag any attention of the gown. So I searched a bit and found an awesome set of Kunglers Extra, that I got not too long ago. It was in  more red golden tone but it for me completed the outfit without overdoing it 🙂 If you wanna join the club of the sophisticated high-class fashionistas, the “Miss Vivienne” gown should  not be missing in your inventory 😉 So make your way to the Tres Beau Mainstore and get your golden piece of art 🙂

“Vintage Dream” @ Yasum

by

Again it is Yasum time ;). Azlyn Vaher released another awesome full outfit called “Vintage Dream”. This outfit really gives each avatar a young and modern look. It contains top, pants in 2 version – one long one capri – and the cool cute boots. What I really love on Yasum outfits is the incredible love for the little details. As for example you have an open safety-pin with a tiny label on the left chest side, or the amazing prims of the pants that make them look so real.


The top has wonderful wrist parts as well that give a special touch to the gloves.

The layers are made with so much input of work if you see the knitted texture that as well contains the suspenders, made of 2 lines in the front and one line in the back. If you take a very close look you can find one variation for the pants layer that contains sweet little garters that hold up the top part.. simply awesome. The shoes are my total point of view as I did not see before this style of shoes. The long ankle parts that lead overto the squared socks, the high plateau and the little decoration on the right side of the right foot with the smoking cigarette in it. I just love them. If you wanna get your own “Vintage Dream” outfit just make your way to the new Yasum Mainstore 🙂

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Monaco 2012 by Tres Beau

by

The wonderful and cute national costume for Miss Monaco 2012, Miss Vivienne Darcy, was made by Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau. Again Kimmera did a great research, to create this beautiful national costume for Miss Monaco 2012. Many traditional parts you can find on the “Miss Monaco” dress if you compare the outfit to google search results of traditional clothing of Monaco. I admire Kimmera for her careful research, when she starts designing national costumes for Miss Virtual World. All of her creations have really a real based theme and you can discover the country from seeing the costume. The awesome love for the detail Kimmera puts in her creations you can see again at the “Miss Monaco” dress. The ruffles, the delicate corset, the hat, the cute little black ribbons that are used for the blouse and the hat and all those amazing and perfect placed textures… that’s really high-class designing. The skirt carries a very filigree lace texture over the opaque basic and adds a touch of elegance as well. “Miss Monaco” now is available at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Having fun with my Inventory and sneak in Lovely’s^^

by

My inventory is a mess most of the times with all the blogging items, new releases and the stuff I buy, cause I think I have tome to blog it still *lol*.  But I have to admit I love my mess *giggles* Sometimes it gives me christmas more than once during the year if I discover something I never thought of :). Lately I found a super cute outfit from Inga Wind, designer and owner of Inga Wind Clothing sitting in my inventory. I put it on and really liked it.

The “Codie Jumpsuit” really is a cool outfit for the everyday wardrobe and with the cuteness it has by itself I could combine it wonderful with some accessories, without pushing it in the back of the view. “Codie” is made of lots of different shades of blue and as well many different fabrics. The chest part is kinda ruffles while the rest of the body is more straight. The sweet lines that hold the top in place are made with prims and the exact same look you will find for the belt. The neat cap completes the cool casual blue look 😉

The jewelry for this amazing blue look comes from Mandala as I thought the textures and the style would go amazing with each other and for me it did :p

The shoes are a combination of the new “Oxa” mesh ankle boots by Baiastice and the “Legwarmer for heels” from G Field. Sissy Pessoa, owner and designer of Baiastice, released wonderful new mesh ankle boots in uni colors and a special edition of mixed colors, I will have them soon here on my blog as well :).

As I was roaming around in my little box in side of Lovely’s Inventory (if you now ask yourself why that, just read here: http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/lovelymi-facetattoos-makeups-more/ 🙂 It was a sweet little fun Lovely did not too long ago 😉 ) I decided to walk out and peek a bit through Lovely’s inventory. I found a lot of cool makeups lying around and some stuff of House of Rage, what she designed and worked on. As well al lot of pictures and other clothing, suddenly I saw a folder called “[MIWA] Poses”… now I became curious… Lovely does poses? I sneaked inside the folder with my mini digi cam and tried the out. The were so cool that I had to snap them… then I heard a rumble going on outside and realized Lovely is back and was working something in her inventory! I grabbed my cam left the poses and sneaked back to my box hiding… but take a look what I got…

Wicca’s Wardorbe: Corset Addiction

by

Corsets… nowadays many just see them for fetish fashion, but the history of corset for sure is way older and it was part of fashion way back in the past a lot more. I discovered corsets in my RL as well and I have to admit they change not only your look while wearing them, they as well changes you attitude and behaviour. Because I like corsets in RL, I certainly looked in Sl to find some good ones. The best I found, before I was introduced to NV Corsetry by Lexie Jansma and Lorelei Maggs, were corsets made of jacket layers and some prim corsets that never fit my shape or has strange alpha prims around. NV Corsetry not. The have awesome prim corsets that are made with an awesome script that allows you to fit your corset exactly to your shape in all directions. You can just resize it completely, but as well you have the possibility to change the sides on x, y and z coordinates. That means you are able to only stretch or make it wider only. For me a revolution on SL corsets! Corsets are so versatile and you can create awesome fashion looks with them. You should make your way and try them at the NV Corsetry Mainstore.

Fur News at Egoisme!!!

by

Egoisme starts the year with great releases. One of the latest ones was the awesome “Fur Coat”, here shown in the light brown version. Fur is a theme for it self and I was told not that easy to make. Most of the fur I saw before in SL was kinda fluffy but not really fur looking. For all the ones that now wanna stand up and get mad… no I am sure no animal had to supper for the amazing fur coat of Egoisme 😉

The long parts are made perfectly flexible, as well the short neck parts, you nearly get the imagination you can snuggle inside if the winds gets harder and it becomes colder 🙂

As well out of the latest releases I chose the “Trendy unisex leather pants” in silver-camo. The texture is so amazing handcrafted you really can see a shine on it 🙂 The pants include great prim parts for the leg sleeves as well.

The cool boots I am wearing for this post are as well from Egoisme and they are called “Trekking Boots”. If you purchase a pair of the “Trekking Boots”, you will find 2 version in your box, one with a resizer and one without that you can resize manually. Overall I think with this fully Egoisme styled outfit you are fashionable prepared for the actual season 😉 So do not hesitate and try your luck at Egoisme, I am very sure you will find your fur outfit there as well 😉

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss South Korea 2012 by PurpleMoon

by

PurpleMoon made not just of the gowns, that made it into the Top 12 of this years Miss Virtual World Challenge finalists. The national gown of Miss South Korea, Caoimhe Lionheard was another one :). This amazing “Sa-rang” gown has a very filigree and delicate texture that is perfectly brought on that amazing sculpted skirt. The trees are a typical asian ornament that we all know from a lot of asian pictures, asia porcelain and as well room dividers and other furniture. The color underlines the asia theme in a wonderful way. The huge black ribbon reminds me of the big ribbons I saw a lot of times at the back of kimonos as well, but it also adds a wonderful modern touch. The tassel that goes down from that ribbon again shows the amazing eye for the detail Poulet Koenkamp has if it comes to ideas and design. If you take a look at the amazing hair, it was as well made by PurpleMoon and is part of that gorgeous gown. The hair is a firework of prims and textures and a piece of art itself. The mixture of hair, jewelry and ornaments just gives an imagination how long Poulet must have sat on this awesome ensemble, which now is available at the PurpleMoon Mainstore.
