This dress is such a sweet idea to celebrate the first birthday of Mea Culpa. The short dress is a shows off very sexy the long legs and the texture of the clothing layers have an awesome shine. It is like you can feel the sun reflecting on each part of the dress. The shoulder prims add a light playful touch and the ornament on the chest make a lovely highlight. The neck collar as well is made as an attached prim. For me the hat is a total eye catcher. It looks like a neat umbrella that is directly worn on the head and so the name of the dress that I could see on a little piece of paper totally first for this design. “Sugar CandyMeaCulpas first anniversary dress is named and I am sure you will not miss it to get your “Sugar Candy” on Thursday the 21st at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!!!

GizzA – “Amorah”: Modern Fashion Huntress? ;)

Lately my eye fell on a store I never saw before… GizzA. As I entered the store I nearly fainted… it is a huge store and it did not look like that it was totally new as I saw the amazing quality of all the wonderful and different outfits! The owner and creator Giz Seom was so nice and we had a little talk and I got some of her amazing designs. Today I wanna start of with the “Amorah” outfit, but you can be sure that there will follow more πŸ˜‰

The textures of the GizzA designs are just amazing… so clear, detailed and different… and as well they are looking very real and you can imagine the fabric that Giz was working on. “Amorah” you can purchase in 2 different color versions, the one I showcase in this blog is called soil. The outfit itself has clothing layers for all kind of combinations. You can find jacket, t-shit and undershirt layers for the top and for the bottom part you have a skirt and a body option for the pants layers. You can take the most close look and you will see how awesome detailed the clothing layers are worked out. Every fold, every little zipper and as well the shadows and lights show how much time Giz takes for creating this amazing outfits. But for me the total highlight are the prims on that outfit. The fur skirt with the open left side that is just hold together by that little strap… the wrist cuffs that and for sure that incredible neck collar that goes over the shoulders as well are something special that gives the whole outfit a light wild touch.

As I said you will find so many different styles and creations at GizzA that I really woudl say make your way to the GizzA Mainstore and take a look πŸ˜‰

News at Ezura!!! An amazing new outfit for a perfect couple :)

Today I have the great honor to show you one of the latest releases of the great Ezura Xue, incredible designer of Ezura. She again created a wonderful outfit named “Willow” This great outfit as a male and a female version what makes it possible to be the perfect couple πŸ˜‰

Let me start with the female version of “Willow”

“Willow” for femalesΒ  comes in 6 wonderful different options to wear. The first one we can see above is the most elegantΒ  wide one with a long closed skirt that is amazing flexible. The hips are covered by a little part that looks like a short skirt over the long one and makes a lightly medieval touch. This touch is underlined from the amazing black brocade looking texture that covers the whole gown. The top is made like a wonderful corsage that accents the well shaped waist of a Lady perfectly. Only 2 lines hold the corsage in place and go over the shoulder to the back. Wonderful if you want to add jewelry like a huge collier πŸ˜‰ The arm parts are as well awesome flexible and move with every wind breeze.

For the first 3 versions we keep the ‘long’ skirt variation to some point. On the very left you can see the version that is fully open in the front and the long skirt part in the back falls like a train down with an opaque texture that keeps the amazing fabric of the top and the gown version. For the second version in the middle we again have an open front but not that much as before and the fabric changed to a very sexy sheer one. On the right we have one version, that just has a high slit on the right side, again with an opaque fabric.

As we look through all the different styles of that amazing outfit i do not wanna skip that you as well have the choice of 4 different colors. Coal, teal, emerald and mocha.Β  You can as well wear that fabulous outfit as a stunning lingerie as we can see on the left side in the teal color.

For the example of the mocha version I chose the short version of this amazing outfit. As you can see with this outfit you can cover every situation you can think of. It is really an awesome chameleon that has lots of possibilities.

 

Now it is time to take a look on the male version. Again I would like to thank Harsch Sharktooth for modeling this great outfit for the post πŸ™‚

The male “Willow” is the perfect match to the female one. The same great textures that you had on the skirt you find here on the jacket. The details on that outfit really blow me away. Every little part that you can think of is done with so much love on every single part. The white shirt, the tie and as well the waist coat that you can see under the jacked always is made of a lighter shade as the jacket itself.

Same as for the female “Willow” we have the colors coal, teal, mocha and emerald. In this pic you can see how great the shades work together for the different colors. Another great detail is the belt that lays so perfect on the hips. The pants are also made with great lights and shadows according to the color of the jacket and waist coat.

Overall you really should make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and take a look by yourself.

News at Mea Culpa!

Tatanka Kaligawa again shows his great designing skills in a nother wonderful creation of a wedding dress. Made for an awesome wedding this gown was made for a very special lady and now it is available in the store for all of us. πŸ™‚ “Priceless Wedding”…

The big train is amazing flexible and if you take a closer look at all the details of the upper part… that lovely texture for the corsage, the amazing prims that make this bridal gown to something special and fashionable… the wonderful head piece… simply stunning. It would be a pity to wear that amazing gown just once, so I decided it also can be a wonderful ball gown with the very special touch I love so much. And it is not made in pure white so… no need to just wear it once in your life or only for a wedding πŸ˜‰

And we have another fantastic gown named “Fairytale Queen”. Inspired by a wonderful gown that Monica Belluci was wearing in the movie “the Bothers Grimm” playing the Evil Queen.

(http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/photo/movie_pix/dimension_films/the_brothers_grimm/monica_bellucci/grimm_teaser2.jpg)

A total eye catcher is the huge head piece for sure…

The “Fairytale Queen” is a very sophisticated gown with a big train in the back as well as the “Priceless Wedding”. The dark brocade red is broken with a lot of facile textures in gold and multicolored. The wide arm sleeves give a very sophisticated look. Make sure you make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and take a look at all the new outfits you will find there… I am sure you will find one that suits you best and that you like πŸ˜‰

The first one I wanna showcase today is the “Bionic Symbiosis” which we can see also in the first picture above πŸ™‚

“Bionic Symbiosis” is a wonderful gown that again shows the incredible skills and ideas of Tatanka Kaligawa if it comes to new ideas of fashion and couture. The dress it self has a very tight dress and skirt beginning that ends in a firework of huge flexible prims the more it goes down to the ground. The color is made in a wide scale of green and black. The layers are not made of a simple plain texture, it is a wonderful combination of different ornaments and colors that make this gown to something special, to a piece of art we know the designs of Mea Culpa for. The wrist sleeves are also decorated with 2 huge wrist prims that repeat the main theme of the dress in a very interesting way. All the attached prims are kinds wavy and for sure the huge and extraordinary hat add another ‘wow’ effect to the whole design.

The second new release is called “Wind of Change” and it really brings in some fresh wind onto the fashion industry πŸ˜‰

‘This gown is made for a real ladie’s body… very elegant but also extravagant! The awesome combination of pink and black will let every fashionistas heart beat higher πŸ˜‰


Let’s take a closer look on all that wonderful details… the basic skirt layer is an opaque tight pencil skirt that goes down to the ground. Spikes decorate the creation on the right hand side leg and add a lightly dangerous and goth style. The top under the jacket has a light transparent around the basic laced texture. The jacket reminds me on an old english uniform jacket even if it is made like a modern bolero jacket πŸ˜‰ A huge, pink neck collar the puffy arm sleeves and the wonderful hat set this design also for a perfect winter outfit! at th belly button you have a nother detailed prim attachment with a huge purple ge in its center. If you take a look from the side or back you will realize how big that flexible black parts in your back are! The hat has a fur seam and the spikes are repeated from a few tentacle looking long and flexible parts that are longer on the right side then on the left of the hat..again a nice non symmetric detail… πŸ˜‰

If you look at the texture of the jacket you can see that the Mea Culpa designs are really more than just clothing that every single part is made with love to the detail. All filigree black ornaments the shading of colors, the lights and shadows… simply amazing!

As I said that are only 2 of the newest designs of Tatanka Kaligawa…so stay tuned the other 2 I will review soon πŸ˜‰ If you cannot wait you can also peek at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!

Another stunning outfit out of the latest release of Tres Beau! “Milea” is the name if this little piece of art and Kimmera Madison again shows off her skills of designing! This wonderful dress has a lot of neat little details that in the end make it to something very special…

Unbelievable but true the outfits contains all parts you can see in the picture except shoes, jewelry and skin. all the other great accessories are part of the design. Lets start from the top πŸ˜‰ The beginning makes an amazing sweet hat that gives the whole outfit a nice fashion and stylish touch. It is to wear lightly on the front of the head. The purple color fits amazing to the autumn colors we all looking for to match the actual season πŸ˜‰ The great shoulder boa is made very aerial and you really get the imagination of wearing a fluffy kinda feather boa that moves dreamy with every step you take. For the upper body we have a great corsage that surrounds the well-shaped waist of the fashionista. If you take a closer look you will see that filigree texture that was used for that stunning part of the outfit. Nearly a firework of different textures that are go so perfect together!If you take a look from the back you will see the lovely transparent lace part that covers the upper body around the shoulders before that beautiful corsage starts. Up next we have the great and huge but short skirt. Also a combination of wonderful textures and every single detail can be seen so clear, like the little ornaments on the grey part of the skirt. If we move our view down we can see that this skirt also imagines being more than one part πŸ˜‰ It looks like 2 or 3 parts the become more and more sheer… but you only have only one prim attachment..simply amazing. Tres Beau always stood and stands for high quality clothing and also very fashionable clothing. With “Milea” Kimmra Madison again showed her high level of designing.
