Golden Elegant Mix

Golden Elegant Mix

This pairing of the alluring corseted Mia skirt from LeeZu Baxter and dangerous gold halter from Boa Creations show a mix of sexy and elegance. Always a deadly combo. Between the fluttery material and side slits it will have your date looking twice to wonder what he or she is actually seeing.

The cool thing is that the Mia corseted skirt comes in a handful colors, as does that halter from Boa Creations. Imagine a pink halter with a white skirt and smexified Bax boots in white. Unf. The possibilities are grand.

Digit Darkes – Subliminal

Digit Darkes – Subliminal

A new release from Digit Darkes is anything but subliminal. When I saw this dress in navy, I knew it had to be mine. I love everything that is navy, especially when it’s sexy, dressy navy. To me navy in the shape of a little black dress can be sexier than a little black dress. Does that make sense?

This dress has  a sexy bra-type top which flows nicely and beautifully into the gown. Both parts of the dress are brought together by a script sizeable black corset-type belt with silver buckles. My only tiny complaint is that both the corset and the gown use chest and spine attachments, so adding in a necklace can take a bit of attachment wizardry.  The bottom of the gown is hemmed in this gorgeous black lace that really adds detail that my photos don’t do justice to.

Fab Pony -Jacqueline

Sexy chic cocktail dress from Fab Pony will get you ready for those upcoming summer cocktail parties. This sleeveless number is inspired by Grecian drapes and comes with the super (script sizeable) sleek belt. It is simple in its design, but very effective at cutting a chic figure.

It’s available in 7 different colors, including this yummy purple color pictured below. This dress does utilize the system skirt, but not in the traditional sense. It’s used more as a front panel.

Lost Dreams Abbey

Lost Dreams Abbey

An erethreal dress newly released from Estelle Parnall of Lost Dreams. Inspired by Versace, the cut is elegant and uncomplicated, but the feathers that make up the skirt and body make this dress special. Offered in rose, blue and ivory, it’s a dress to be romanced in.

Style Note: I did have a challenge with finding a necklace to compliment as longer necklaces tend to get hidden and lost in the feathers on the bodice. The necklace I chose was from a store I accidentally discovered called Virtual Impressions. Chrissy Ambrose makes gorgeous fancy jewelry. When I want quality diamond pieces, I head there.

Dress: Lost Dreams – Glamazon Abbey dress in rose
Shoes: Stiletto Moody – Silver Stud Pump (Gold)
Necklace/Earrings: Virtual Impressions Fleur in Gold Pearls and Diamonds

Mimikri – Kiku

Mimikri – Kiku Summer

Spring is upon us and so is wedding season. As you know, the grid is always in full bloom with love and romance. (Yeah, present company included.) I get invited to a few weddings and there is always so much to choose from to wear. However, Mimikri has a perfect dress for attending a wedding. A fairly recent release from this designer, it’s offered in four different versions with various soft colors and floral patterns. Each one named after a season.

This sexy dress reminds me a lot of designs from Betsy Johnson with its lingerie-inspired black lace bodice and form-fitting skirt of Asian silk. Yes, this is a system skirt, but I’ve come to terms with my booty-licious booty. Hang on to your hat, I modified my shape. I know what you’re thinking. I know I vowed not to modify but dang it, this dress is just so pretty, and I looked so broad in the beam that I had to do something. My reasoning is that it’s like dieting to fit in to a special dress in real life. So there I have it, “My Shape On A Diet.” I am now one with the system skirt. (Yeah, I’m a slow learner.)

Go to Mimikri ’s shop and see what other goodies that go along with this dress. There’s a  two in one” jacket and coat available that goes along with this shift dress and hip new drape pants that can be combined for a great club look.

A perfect compliment to this dress is jewelry from Eclectica. I am wearing the complete set of green glass jewelry. I apologize that it’s hard to see in the photos. Trust me, pay a visit to this designer and see for yourself the detail and quality she puts in to her jewelry.

Old Gold

Old Gold

I apologize for missing in action for the past few days. You ever get in a funk? I think I’m in a fashion funk. I’ve been on the grid and have been completely uninspired lately. From exploring to fashion, each time I log on, I barely have had the energy to change clothes. Not even enough to go shopping. I know, it’s that bad. I’m hoping to snap out of it soon, and I’m sure I will.

These pictures were taken before the funk hit. On a recent shopping spree at So Many Styles, I picked up this beautiful brown and gold skirt with it’s funky spring-like waist band of daisies and delicate netted hemline. I’ve come to the conclusion that you can pair Cupcake’s new Squiggle tank with just about anything and look smashing. I’m also loving Truth’s new style. I’m wearing it without the flower. Although I have noticed with this particular style that on Mid graphic settings, my skull pokes through on the top, but doesn’t happen on Ultra settings. Kind of frustrating if you ask me. But a graceful style nonetheless.

Help! I need some inspiration!

Eclectica Jewelry

Eclectica Jewelry

New (at least to me) jewelry designer Tiffy Vella of Eclectica has some gorgeous, well-made jewelry designs. As she will tell you, it’s quality handmade prim jewellery, glasses and vintage items. Partially inspired by Art Deco, Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau, yet still original work conceived in a virtual world.

Below I’m wearing the Jazz Bakelite Set, which would probably be worth a fortune if it were a real life design, dontcha think? The set comes complete with an insanely gorgeous necklace that hangs just right, left and right bangles and beautiful drop earrings (not pictured). One thing I just adore about her jewelry is that it’s all easily resizable with one click of a sizing script. I LOVE that and am starting to see more and more designers use this. Makes custom fitting a breeze.

Wearing a summery/spring dress from So Many Styles. A find in my latest shopping spree there. This dress is silk with a handpainted drop sash and big buttons on the straps. It’s available in three different colors, including a great red. This dress has a Ralph Lauren feel to it.

(Sorry for the big honkin pictures. I wanted to show the detail!)

The Closet – Dead Leaf Dress

The Closet – Dead Leaf Dress

In Second Life one of the houses I choose to live in is a big old Victorian mansion. I’ve filled it with eclectic finds from across the grid.  Items that cause you to look twice and things that make you look closer at them. When I think of designers, The Closet feels like my house. It’s filled with wonderous, interesting designs that make you look unique.

The feminine dress I’m wearing reminds me so much of the 1940s. (I don’t know why, it just has that vibe, even though the skirt length would be scandalous in the 40s.) The back drop of my house is  a perfect setting for this look I’ve created. The dress has a great little flip skirt and darling scalloped sleeves that move and flirt when I move my arms. It comes in several colors as well. I just might go back and get them all. Cool oxfords from Tesla and suspender socks from Pig give the look some uniqueness. I’ve also paired it with a great big diamond bracelet and ring from caLLie cLine. I imagine it like a big vintage piece Maybe I inherited it from my crazy rich aunt who had a penchant for big shiny things, just like I do.

If you haven’t already, go check out The Closet. Wander about the rooms and look at the finds. I bet you pick up something you will just adore.
