MADesign – “Lilith” /black IV

After wearing my Glam Affair “Castalia” skin for so long aida Ewing could convince me with her new “Gio” skin to change my “Castalia only” times πŸ˜‰ The new “Gio” skin comes in 5 different skintones and always includes a dark and light eyebrow version and even another 2 versions with dark and light hairbase!!! If you purchase the fatpack you will have 12 different makeups in all 4 versions! I really fell in love with this fresh and innovative makups and the skin itself. The perfect combination of lights, shadows and shine… simply amazing. I could not resist to combine the new “Gio” skin with the incredible extraordinary new hair-line from MADesign. They released a new couture line of hair that totally found a first place in my hair folder. Young and fresh ideas for hair… I so desired something new and stylish πŸ˜‰ But now let pictures talk and you can see by yourself what I am talking about πŸ˜‰

Incredible Autumn News by Tres Beau!!!

Yesterday I had the great honor to judge at the Styling Forward contest with Frolic Mills and Kimmera Madison. It was great fun and we saw someΒ  cool Halloween stylings. After the show, Kimmera, Edi and me, talked a while and had fun in some pose stores. During that time Kimmera gave me 2 of her new designs. Not long after I excused myself and went into my dark corner to look at the outfits… WOW!!! Both are incredible great and so perfect for the actual season! I was sitting over my inventory to find a few things to style this wonderful outfits quite a while, but then it looked like I wanted it to be :p …

The first you can see in the pic above is called “Flight”. The huge feather collar inspired me to use the great face tattoo from Miamai that reminded me of some feathers of dark birds as well. That brought me on those 2 crows and the dead tree in the back ;). The lipstick was made by Oceane and the earrings are one of my longtime favourite, the “Vivienne” earrings made by yula Finesmith. The boots and the hat are as well part of that amazing “Flight” outfit of Tres Beau!!!

The second outfit for today as well from Tres Beau will be the “Meryl” dress in red…

On this dress you again can see Kimmera’s skills and possibilities if it comes to designing. The beautiful corsage has a handpainted texture as usual for Tres Beau clothing. That for me it makes it very special, as you really can see nearly every brush line, that is needed to make such a wonderful and unique texture! I only can imagine how long it takes to draw and paint such a filigree texture. What I always adored on Kimmera’s work is that the textures seem to move with the avatar… the texture hardly gets stretched weird or destroyed while my pixels move. The awesome sheer skirt as well is a pice of art if you see how it moves with the avatar. TheΒ  right flexibility and moving time to let it look really real. The 2 big ornaments at the left hip and the head make amazing eyecatchers and give an extra touch of elegnance to the whole outfit. If you visit the Tres Beau Mainstore you will find a lot more of the amazing creations of Kimmera Madison and I am sure you will as well find one for you πŸ˜‰

Ezura Xue – Future Fashion!!!

One of Ezura‘s September releases was the “Genetic Digital Lady” outfit, here in black. This wonderful outfit comes with so many cool details and possibilities… awesome!

You can wear the “Genetic Digital Lady” as a dress. An awesome long skirt that shines like vinyl makes a wonderful floating look. The neck has a very deep neckline and is as well decorated with a futuristic accessory ;), a real cute eye catcher… A great idea is the HUD that let you change the color of certain parts of the outfit. Usually I have pink but for this look it just matched :p. So all parts of the outfit you can see in pink now you can tint in every color you can imagine as the HUD has a full color field!

As well you can wear the “Genetic Digital Lady” as pants version πŸ™‚ The ankle boots as well are made by Ezura. “Avant Garde E.T.” Ezura Xue called this amazing and outstanding pair of shoes that really caught my eye, as I saw them in her store.Β  The fantastic hair piece as well is part of the “Avant Garde E.T.” line that is available, as far as I know, in black, red and white.

What could complete this incredible outfit better than the “Eccentric” set from Finesmith Design.

Wicca’s Wardobe: Weird moments in black and white – the second ;)

Ok I admit I stuck a while with my weird moments about stylings, but I have to admit it feels very nice to be allowed to do what you want πŸ˜‰ The basic of this styling was one of the last “Claim the Fame” shows. The theme was Fantasy Avantgarde. Mostly I try to match the shows themes with my stylings and so this look came together.

The basic makes one of the Black & White skins, made by Nuuna Nitely, owner and designer of Nuuna’s Skins. The for sure with my addiction to Finesmith Designs, jewelry from yula Finesmith had to be part. The skirt part is from the “Saleena Inspiration” set. To cover up the private parts I chose to wear the “Maya” nipple shields and the “O collection 011” bracelets, as well from Finesmith. If you look closer you can see that I used the “Valeria Inspiration” earrings as well for the ears and I changed them in size and made me great wings out of them as well πŸ™‚ The pants, the forehead pice and the feet parts I took from Eshi Otawara‘s “Flying Home” outfit. For the top I remembered one of my old-time favourites… the “Wilted Wednesday Vest” made by Kyoot. For the hair I chose one of the great hairstyles of 3636 Designs.

And now I will hide in the depth of my inventory again and see what I can come up next with πŸ˜‰

Mea Culpa – Hot Flamenco Nights? ;)

Latest news from Mea Culpa πŸ™‚ I am happy to be allowed to show you the last 2 creations of Tatanka Kaligawa, designer and owner of Mea Culpa. The first one is called “Baile Flamenco” and it really is what it is called. A wonderful red gown with a long train in the back, awesome ruffle parts and decorated with beautiful flowers.

If you take a closer look you can see how much Tatanka cares about details and the eye for the extravagant styles. The ruffles are wonderful made with shadows and lights and the flowers add an amazing “Flamenco Feeling” πŸ˜‰ The head decoration as well made of flowers is part of the whole outfit.

The second outfit carries the wonderful name “Night Spell” and it is a very elegant and extravagant gown. Petals and ranks are all over the black beauty. The skirt and the hat are mainly opaque while the top has a wonderful laced part, that I would like to show a little closer.

The delicate lace top shows again the amazing skills of Tatanka Kaligawa if it comes to ideas and texturing πŸ™‚ round the waist additional to the great flexible prims you have kinda golden belt, very filigree and again in shape of many little petals. The wonderful veil adds again some elegance πŸ™‚ As well Mea Culpa released some new shows but this will be one of my next posts πŸ˜‰

Angel Dessous – New Black Couture Line!!!

Lately Angel Dessous released a new Black Line with 3 wonderful outfits in black red and white. Today I would like to show you 2 of them in black. Lets start with the “Chess” outfit, that as well can be seen in the first picture.

“Chess” is an awesome knee-long dress, shoulder free with an amazing prim attachment. The dress it self on the first view looks very simple but as well it shows the elegance of simplicity. πŸ™‚ With “Chess” you are definitely dressed right for every party or event. It is the “little black” that can be worn always and for everything πŸ™‚ I added the new “Berry Blossom” set made by Finesmith Designs, the “Painter” fingernails as well from Finesmith and the “Sakura Boudoir” hat from the Boudoir hat collection.

The hair comes from Baiastice and is called “Fujiko”. The wonderful matching eye ornament was made by Talyia Tarber for her store Garded Secret.

My second outfit for today of the new Angel Dessous Black Line is named “Devine” and for this blog I chose the black version. “Devine” you can as well purchase in the blood version. This outfit has 2 possibilities to wear. one with a laced jacked and one without πŸ™‚ I decided to wear it without for that blog post πŸ™‚

The short dress has really an awesome couture touch with the awesome edgy attachments like the skirt and the shoulder parts/ neck part. The great corset that ends under the chest adds a very sexy touch as well. To hide my private parts and keep it PG for the blog post I took skull pasties made by Redclaw Inshan , designer of R:A:D. The sweet wrist ruffles usually are thought as an addition for the sheer jacket version but I could not go around to use them nevertheless for the short version as well. πŸ˜‰ For jewelry I decided again – for sure πŸ˜‰ – on Finesmith Designs. yula Finesmith lately created a wonderful set named “Giz” that comes with a necklace and a wonderful pair of earrings.

The incredible face mask that I liked so much for this styling as it matches the edgy prim parts comes from DE Designs and is called “Maiden Face Mask” and the hairstylist for this styling was Bliss Couture πŸ™‚ For skin and make up I stuck to my long time favourite Glam Affair πŸ™‚

Walk like an Egyptian with Finesmith Designs!

One set of Finesmith Designs caught me for longer and I had something in mind about styling that I did not find all the time. I wanted to do something special for the “Egyptian” set and lately I came across something I really liked πŸ˜‰

The “Egyption” set it self contains The fabulous headpiece, the skirt with the long train, nipple shields, necklace, earrings and the incredible eye ornament. With all this parts the “Egyptians set is not only a jewelry set, it is a full outfit where you just have to add hair and shoes and a skin of your likings, for sure you can wear this with your usual skin as well I just was tempted with this golden one I found in a sale at VUI. The hair comes from Purplemoon including the hair base and it is called “Cat” in golden wheat. I chose some golden boots for it that anyways not show in this pics, so anyways :p. The “Egyptian” for me is the total proove of how creative and genius yula Finesmith is. Her endless heart and soul of creativity never will be empty and I am sure she writes history in the SL fashion world with her amazing creations… I saw my new Inspiration set a week ago even longer, it is just a secret till the official release… but I can tell you I never ever before saw jewelry thats so me! Yula puts in so much time, soul, love and effort in this inspiration sets and the turn out so amazing and unique! You really should try the Finesmith Inspirations Muse castings and if it is only to work close with one of the most amazing people in Second Life – yulaFinesmith ! For the perfect posing of the “Egyptian” set I used poses from Body Talking made by Arisia Ashmoot out of the “Mr Egypt” set that you as well can use for females πŸ™‚
