Les Petits Details for the Ashraya Project

by

Today I have the great pleasure to show one of the first designs for the Ashraya Project (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/the-ashraya-project/)

The beautiful “Summer Breeze” dress with the matching hat… both made of wonderful shaped and textured sculpties .

The “Summer Breeze” ensamble will be available in 3 differnt colors. For my post today I picked the blue version. The dress is made in a wonderful aerial way so that you nearly can fell the light summer breeze that waves trhough the skirt. The huge ribbon is a wonderful detail, that adds a lightly playfully girl touch.

The “Summer Breeze” ensable will be the charity item from Les Petits Details for the Ashraya Project and such a sweet dress that matches the actual season in such an awesome way AND helps a good cause should not be missed in every fashionistas wardrobe 🙂

The LM for this fabulous charity event will be given out soon and be added as soon as I got it 🙂

For the jewelry of the look I chose one of the latest releases from Finesmith – the “Folieole” set in mapel. The wnderful colors and the unusual shape made the perfect finsh for my today’s look 🙂

Bring me back to life

by

TUNES

Today I was again in a strange mood. As I yesterday started to style the new “Aphrodisia” dress from Fellini Couture, I had something romantic lightly vintage with a huge hat in mind. I have no clue why, but while I was entering SL and staring at the login screen, that always shows you your last picture I came across a totally different vision.

Maybe it had to do as well that I listened to one of my favourite bands the whole day. One song of Evanescence was very close to me for a long time. That’s why I linked “Bring me back to life” in the beginning as it kinda was a huge part of my inspiration for the pictures and look.

But now lets take a look on the wonderful “Aphrodisia” dress from Fellini Couture and the whole look around it. The “Aphrodisia” dress is a white and very romantic dress with lots of amazing and different textures. The mixture of filigree lace, the opaque ornamented parts and the flowers makes this dress to a little piece of art. Joy Fellini again shows why she is on top of the SL fashion scene for such a long time with her genius ideas and incredible skills.

Right beside on top of the fashion heaven, we have yula Finesmith, owner and designer of Finesmith. She released not too long ago a wonderful male collection and the parts I am wearing today I took out of this one. I did not see any reason, if males can wear female jewelry, why the girls cannot wear the male jewelry :p. I just had to resize the “Heartology” necklace for sure as it was way bigger for a males neck :). The “Heartology” wings I took like they are without any changes.

The awesome hat is part of the “Halloween Horror Collection” if hats from Bliss Couture. Amutey DeCuir made a super cool hat collection for Halloween 2011 and I see no reason why we cannot use them during the year if it matches :p.

Maybe if you look at the pics while you hear the song you can get a part of my mood that I had, while I was doing this pictures. The first time I dared to make my own fog and parts of the hair and I am amazed what came out after all this hours between looking at tutorials, reading advises and try & error 🙂 For sure it is not the end of the scale, but a wonderful new start for me to work on even more pictures 🙂

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

by

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 🙂 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 🙂

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 🙂

Love doesn’t grow on trees…

by

One of the newest additions to yula Finesmith releases is the “Love doesn’t grow on trees” set. This set really touched me in a very special way. It is something completely different to yula’s awesome usual collection. The nature aspect in this new jewelry is very high and it makes a very vulnerable feeling if you wear it and look at it. For me it kinda shows how evanescent life is. The very filigree designed piece of art made me remember a song I did not hear in a long time and I have no clue why… with this song the styling and the idea for the picture was growing in my head…

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Iceland 2012 by Faster Pussycat & Finesmith

by

The evening gown for Miss Iceland 2012 came out of the hand of Honey Bender, owner and fabulous designerof Faster Pussycat . Honey, for me always stood for extravagant and extraordinary with her designs. And she stayed  herself true and created a wonderful evening gown for Miss Aphrodite Brianna, Miss Iceland 2012. The purple gown can be worn in different versions for the skirt. I chose the one that was originally worn on the MVW 2012 runway. The huge skirt adds a very elegant touch and all the amazing golden decorations on the gown really made this gown something that stood out. The texturing and the choice of the prims again shows very clear the sign of Honey Bender. All the sequins that decorate the upper skirt… shiny and in many shades of purple… simply amazing. You can find the “Aphrodite” gown at the Faster Pussycat Mainstore with all its amazing skirt versions 🙂

The jewelry was made by yula Finesmith. The “My Girl” set really was made to match this gown. No big necklace but all those filigree and little extras like the Eye decoration at the left eye, the ring and the amazing headpiece complete this ensemble to a perfect set as well 🙂 The whole set is menu driven and colorchangeable for the noble metals and the gemstones. The “My Girl” set you will find at the Finesmith Mainstore.

New Store and many fashion news from Baboom

by

(Baboom – “Silver Spring”, Model: Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Daron Brandeis)

I already had a post about the stunning Valentine’s group gift from Baboom and today I wanna show you a few of Kyra Camel‘s newest creations. For today I would like to showcase 4 outfits and Sazzy Nirpaw helped to model them and the cool pictures are made by Daron Brandeis. I would like to thank Kyra for the great opportunity to model for her vendor and store pictures. The one you can see above is named “Silver Spring” and it is a wonderful and cute cocktail dress. The white basic carries the wonderful silver ornaments and really is an eyecatcher on every party.

(Baboom – “Passion”, Model: Sazzy Nirpaw, Photographer: Daron Brandeis)

“Passion”, modeled by Sazzy is an awesome evening gown with a wonderful sculpted prim that gives an extra fashionable eye catcher on the whole creation. The sweet fluffy boa adds some more elegance as well. Kyra Camel, owner and designer of Baboom, is known for her idea to make one outfit with different possibilities to wear it like we saw at the “Valentine Rose” gown in my last post (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/valentine-with-baboom-an-amazing-group-gift/) This as well is possible for the “Passion” gown.

(Baboom – “Passion”, Model: Sazzy Nirpaw, Photographer: Daron Brandeis)

Now I would like to switch to the casual corner of Baboom. The red line that Kyra follows for her creations is not any special style or trend, her redline is the variety 🙂

(Baboom – “Couture Leo”, Model: Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Daron Brandeis)

The “Couture Leo” is a perfect example after the “Passion” gown how versatile Kyra Camel works. The casual pants, still with style together with a tank top that only has one shoulderline. The shoes are included as well so you will get a ready to wear outfit if you purchase the “Couture Leo”.

(Baboom – “Stroll around Town”, Model: Sazzy Nirpaw, Photographer: Daron Brandeis)

Even mesh is not a problem for Baboom. One of the latest creations has a wonderful mesh skirt in 2 different sizes. The textures and colors are perfect for the actual season and you will be dressed perfectly for any casual occasion with the “Stroll around Town” outfit.

To see more of the awesome creations of Baboom, take the next TP to the Baboom Mainstore and see for yourself.
