MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Australia 2012 by Tres Beau & Finesmith

Again we have a wonderful gown by Tres Beau combined with Finesmith jewelry that made it in the Top 12 of Miss Virtual World 2012… even more this combination of the “Miss Rissa” gown of Tres Beau and the “Tribal Glam” set from Finesmith brought Miss Rissa Friller – Miss Australia 2012 – on place 2 of the MVW contest this year. Lets take a look on the gown first. Kimmera Madison again showed her incredible skills of making textures and designing a stunning evening gown for Miss Australia 2012. The basic is made in silver. Silver is not an easy color for clothing in second life, most of the textures look grey and do not have any shine. But not for Tres Beau. The long experiences and the awesome skills of Kimmera Madison make this gown shine in a stunning silver attire. The ornaments look beautiful and give the gown even more highlights as it anyways has. The tight gown makes an awesome silhouette and the big mermaid skirt is a wonderful contrast to the shoulder free top of the gown. The ornaments are brought adorable on the gown so that you can move and pose without stretching this wonderful textures, again something that is not that easy I was told. So, no wonder that Miss Rissa Friller became the 1st runner-up for MVW 2012. The stunning gown is now available for everyone at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

For the jewelry, again we can see how close the designers work together to create this incredible looking styles. Yula Finesmith outdid herself again with catching the style and shape of the wonderful ornaments that Kimmera put on the gown. The swirls she did for the necklace, the bracelet and the ring are breathtaking awesome. Yula as well picked up the colors and made a firework of art with colors and design for this beautiful “Tribal Glam” set.The earrings, 2 little flowers,Β  are so unbelievable filigree and little, what again shows the incredible skills of yula Finesmith. The love for the detail yula and Kimmera both have in an awesome way. The great “Tribal Glam” set is now available at the Finesmith Mainstore.

Kunglers gave the catsuit a new, modern face

Kunglers always stood for high quality and fashion in Secondlife. The new “Emanuelle” catsuit underlines this attributes again.

The tight catsuit accents the well-shaped body of every fashionista. The textures are so wonderful developed and brought on the catsuit. The mixture of different fabrics make this simple catsuit to a little piece of casual art. The basic is amazing made with light and shadows and the jacket shines with the beautiful texture.

The “Emanuelle” catsuit is available in different colors at Kunglers and the closer look even more shows the amazing skills for textures and the love for the details in their designs. The shoulder attachments add the dot of the”i” for me and make the little difference to make it modern and fashionable.

The lovely jewelry I am wearing to that awesome catsuit as well is made by Kunglers and it goes so perfectly well with the “Emanuelle” catsuit. The golden, smooth shape of the “Deorum” set underlines again that simplicity is the way to go to be styled well πŸ™‚ The whole set contains the earrings, necklace, bracelet and ring. The “Deorum” set as well is available in more colors at the Kunglers Mainstore.

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Estonia 2012 by Bare Rose

The wonderful national costume for Miss Estonia 2012, comes from Bare Rose. Bare Rose is a well-known brand in Secondlife and it always stood for quality and very creative outfits. I have a lot of Bare Rose outfits already and they always were something special to me, as they are different to most of the usual designs. Bare Rose covers a wide range of different styles like casual, fantasy, formal, japanese designs and nearly all what you can think of. Nala Kurka, Miss Estonia 2012, decided to go to June Dion for her national costume and I have to say what came out is really something unique and outstanding. “Cologne” the wonderful costume is named and you must have mesh enabled to see it properly, as the skirt is made in the mesh technique. The outfit it self comes as a ready-to-wear outfit and I just added hair and the facemask by myself. The textures are made very filigree and with the love to the detail. the little ring and the jewelry looking part round the neck are as well part of the outfit and so is the hat. The wonderful designed ruffles and the filigree jewelry parts show the great designing skills of June Dion. “Cologne” now is available at the Bare Rose Mainstore.

Oceane Body Design – Skins for the Fashionista

Lately Morgane Batista told me about her favourite skin maker…Oceane Grumiaux, owner and designer of Oceane Body Design. Morgane made me so curious that I had to take a look at Oceane’s store. I was not able to look for long before Morgane popped in there as well and made me meet Oceane herself. I have to admit as I was looking around I really was surprised… Such great realistic and detailed skins…lashes,Β  makeups, eyes and eyelashes… why I never was here before?!? Oceane herself is a very kind and nice person and we started taking. In the end she gave me one of her wonderful skins and one of her makeup packages. Please let me introduce “Terry”…

As many know I am a very light skin type usually and so “Terry” in cream was the perfect skintone for me. The body is wonderful and such high quality in every detail – really amazing! Such awesome shadows and lights give the whole skin a very realistic look.

What really got me was that all of her makeups fit perfectly on her skins. often if I was wearing lipstick the original lip color of the skin came through on the boarders or even through the whole lips. For that Oceane made a natural skin variation where you can add all of her makeups and it looks like they are originally on the skin.

On the top of this picture on the right side we have the natural version of “Terry” without any makeup. On the left upper side we have the “Terry Smoke” variation. The 2 on the bottom are the first of in total 10 makeups that come with the “Mistress Mood” makeup package.

The lips are stunning with a very light gloss, but not too much and the eyes are beautiful dark smokey eyes. I never thought that I could enjoy so many different red and pick shades and that each one looks so different on the total look. I definitely will keep Oceane Body Design in my mind now and I am curious about new makeups and skins in the future of Oceane Grumiaux πŸ™‚

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Shopping Finesmith in E-Clipse

After Thetra Blackheart, lovely designer of E – Clipse, gave me some of her newest creations out of her “Noir” series I again went to Finesmith Designs to see whats new after my LOA πŸ™‚

But first lets take a look on the outfit… πŸ™‚

As I was talking to Thetra, the winner of the Claim the Fame contest, she told me that she made a few new designs. As I was so curious I got lucky and she gave me the whole “Noir” outfit. For this look I chose the “Bodice” only. A wonderful waist corset made of leather, zippers and buckles… simply amazing. For the top you can choose, if you wanna have a closed or an open version like you can see on the pic above. The nipple shields and the collar part are as well part of the outfit. For the panties you have a basic clothing layer and a wonderful attachment in the front again with silver zippers on the sides. The sweet face tattoo was made by Xplosion and the shoes come from Lapointe & Beastchild. The hairstylist for this styling was Amutey DeCuir from Bliss Couture.

Now for the jewelry.. πŸ™‚ As I entered the new store on the Blackliquid sim I was blown away… such a great new shop!!! And all the new jewelry. Now the different part came.. what to wear firs,t from all the wonderful new things… really a hard desicion. In the end, the choice fell on the new “Noir” line since I liked the idea to combine the new “Noir” line from Finesmith Designs with the new “Noir” line of E – Clipse πŸ˜‰ – kinda fate for me on that one *grins*. And it goes so well together with the spiked parts of the jewelry and all the zipper and metal parts of the outfit itself πŸ™‚ Yula Finesmith again brought us a new set with lots of little pieces or art and you can be sure that all of them will get the attention they earn in the coming blog posts πŸ™‚

For now I hope you enjoyed my little LOTD πŸ™‚

Stay styled,

Wicca
