For the actual Maniera Magazine December 2012 (http://manierasl.mymaniera.com/) I had the great honor to be featured in a wonderful fashion spread of Lovely Miwako. She made a special corset themed article about how different corsets can look.

We all got sent different corsets from Etchaflesh and Voluptia and Lovely asked us to style them in a vintage non typical lingerie manner. As well she wanted us all to choose one tattoo that we wear through the whole spread.

For the first picture Lovely placed me on the floor besides SterlingZen. The corset I was wearing for this picture came from Voluptia and everyone that knows me… I am a corset addicted even in RL, so to style the corset in a non lingerie way for me was like if you tell me I just won in a lottery *grins*

I love a lot the different vontage stylings from the 50’s to the 80’s ( it still scares me that 80’s are called vintage now too^^) and so I was going for my favourite urban look as well with the heavy boots and the tattoos and some fishnet stockings and torned stockings. The huge glasses and the pinup hair added the perfect finish for the look in my view.

On this picture, I had the great pleaure to be with Katherine Comet a wonderful and classy Lady that shines at my side with a wonderful corset styling that reminded me a lot on the old racing pinups I saw so many times on that collectable retro/vintage, metal signs from coke or even others… not sure how they are called in english, mostly you find them in bars πŸ™‚

For the second look I was given the corset and the sneaker boots from Etchaflech. I added the neck corset as well from Etchaflesh, pantys and garterbelt from Maitreya.

Lovely did an amazing job in putting different ladies, diffrent looks and attitudes together to show a wide range of what corsets can do… weither of elgant, grunge, rocker, lingerie, vintage or burlesque… as different as we ladies are as different corsets can be used for anykind of styling, that you can think of πŸ™‚

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Today at LeeZu 10/16/2012

Today I again had my LeeZu shift and I decided to go for something that matched the weather outside ;). The days are getting shorter and colder – Autumn is coming fast :).

One of the latest releases of LeeZu was the “Her Day Blouse”. A wonderful mesh blouse with so many amazing details on it.

If you take a closer look you can see the beautiful scarf and the wonderful open pocket on the left side of the chest. The texture again shows the amazing and incredible skills of LeeZu Baxter and her genius ideas for designs. The blouse for me is kinda loose-fitting, cool casual style and as it was long enough, I did not need extra pants and wanted to go with the chic “Cat Tights” as well from LeeZu. To make the perfect autumn look I used another one of LeeZu’s latest releases, the “Piccadilly Overknee Boots”. To see all the amazing new releases of LeeZu for the actual season and many evergreens, make your way to the LeeZu Mainstore. It is really worth it, particularly as LeeZu has a summer end sale and some special items are set 50 % off the regular prize!!!

SoliDea FoliEs, White Widow & h.m.a.e.m. for the Couturier’s Docks

Today I am happy to do my first blog post for the Couturier’s Docks πŸ™‚ As mentioned before in a another post, this is a very special event that features a few designers and some very special designs πŸ™‚ (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/the-couturiers-docks/)

Today I just mixed and matched a few of them together as I liked the cute look that came out πŸ™‚

The dress comes from SoliDea FoliEs and is called “Polly Doll” and it was made for this event. The outfit contains the gloves, the neck part that goes down over the shoulders and the cute corset. To make it easier to wear the corset, Mila Tatham included an alpha layer for that part of the body.

The hat looks like it was made for that outfit but it is not actually part of it. the hat comes off the house of h.m.a.e.m. and it looks perfect to the “Polly Doll” outfit.

Last but not least, Julie Hastings – owner and designer of White Widow – created an amazing facetattoo for the Couturier’s Docks. The “Feather” tattoo is available in different colors and you always have the option of wearing it with or without an eyeshadow.

You should not miss that amazing and special event on the SaliMar Sim (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SaliMar/61/194/23)

Black, White & Red – Square Fantasys with SoliDea FoliEs!

Part of the Spring Collection 2012 of SoliDea FoliEs are the “Optical Dresses & Hats”. There are 3 different versions in color and texture for this amazing new dress. For today I chose the ‘Square’ version of the amazing outfit.

The hat looks like one of the asian ‘Koi’ fishes and it is a very extravagant hat. I always loved how Mila Tatham, owner and genius designer of SoliDea FoliEs took unusual ideas and made them fashionable πŸ™‚ The short dress is perfect for the upcoming spring season and I really like how carefully the red color is brought in with just the few little red balls and at the hat. I have an addiction for black and white and for squares for a long time – yes I am a child of the 80’s :p. So this dress really got my attention even if the 2 other colors are amazing as well.

To catch the red color again I took the new “Play Cubes” earrings from Finesmith. The square shape totally made it to the dress for me πŸ™‚

Too keep the look in a modern way I added one of the latest releases from Urban Lutz for the hair.

To see all of the amazing colors of the “Optical Dress & Hat” and the “Play Cubes” you better take a look by yourself at the SoliDea Folies and Finesmith Mainstores πŸ™‚

News of the latest collection of Glam Affair!

Glam Affair again made a great new line of outfits for every kind of event πŸ˜‰ One blog post will not even be enough to show them all in the right light. So I decided to make a 2 part story out of it πŸ™‚ My first outfit for this post will be “Ginevra”, a wonderful casual pants outfit. Very chic and autumn like it is the perfect dress for the actual season. The light pnats make a wonderful contrast to the black blouse. This black blouse has such wonderful detailed ruffles and folds… really amazing and they add a touch of elegance to the casual overal.”Ginevra” can be found in othecolor combinations as well at the Glam Affair Mainstore.

To bring a little bit of color into the autumn season the “Orchid” top is the right choice. I picked the pink one for this blog post but you can find as well more awesome fall colors at Glam Affair. The lights and shadows are set so perfect to make the blouse look realistic, that you nearly wanna grab one of this buttons if you wanna take off the blouse again πŸ˜‰ The high neck part is a total “in” for this autumn. The huge black belt breaks the basic color in a beautiful way and leads perfect to the black “Linn” pants with the grand ruffles at the left and right upper leg.

Now we leave the casual side a bit and go more into the chick direction with the wonderful “Ibis” outfit that I again combined with the “Linn” pants as I liked the ruffles of the pants so much to the huge side parts of the “Ibis” body.

This totally black shaded combination would be perfect for a night out or even some fashion event πŸ˜‰

“Fiona” is a very sexy outfit of the new Glam Affair collection and an outfit even Lady Gaga would die for maybe :p. Very sexy with the sheer body and very stylish with the short skirt and the huge bow as a dreamy neck collar πŸ™‚ With the Lady Gaga stylings in mind, I could not resist to wear the new mesh SlinkΒ  “Leather Thigh Highs” πŸ˜‰

“Sora” looks close to “Fiona” for the belly and waist part, but the top is way more closed and opaque and the big bow is not worn at the neck… it makes a wonderful eye catcher at the backside! The collar and wrist parts again made of incredible cute and detailed ruffles and folds like we had it for the “Ginevra” outfit. For me “Sora” would be the total “turn heads” on every fashion event :). As I said, that’s just the first post of the new Glam Affair line, as I wanted to give every outfit the right spot and attention it earned πŸ™‚

Stiletto Moody – Classy & Chic, Naughty &High Fashion ;-)

Stiletto Moodys 001Today I have the great pleasure to have Stiletto Moody on my blog for the first time! *wootwoot*

My desire fell on the great Stiletto Moody “Skyhigh Boot” in black.Β  Very high overknee boots that made in perfection!

Stiletto Moodys 002For me they fit perfectly on Haute Couture Clothing like I matched them here with one of the new LeLutka outfits. The texture imagines perfectly a very high class leather texture and they have the fantastic lights and shadowns we know from Stiletto Moody. Every part of this great shoes are made with the love for the detail. The seams, the zipper on the upper leg and all the folds..simply adorable!!!

Stiletto Moodys 003The boots come in 3 sizes – small, medium and large, so you have the best chance that they fit perfectly on your well shaped, long, sexy legs! Like every Stiletto Moody shoes they have the red sole with the heart, that we all know as the great trademark for this brand! You have 3 attachments that form the boots. Upper les, lower leg and the foot. Little invisible prims make it easier to fit the boots perfectly on your legs not to let skin peek out.

Stiletto Moodys 004A great option I really love you have the straps in different colors – here shown in white2. The “2” stands forΒ  a little black seam round the straps. And they are not simply added on the boots! A small pin holds then in place on the foot part and a great detailed buckle closes them on the upper leg!

For this boots are a definatly must have for every fashionista!!!

Stiletto Mody is one of the best shoe labels in SL for me and as you see how long they exist and wha a great reputation they have…it stands for good quality always!!!

To see all the great colors that are available…make your way to the Stiletto Moody Mainstore and iam sure you can’t resist to buy one of their great creations πŸ˜‰
