The Fashionable Heart

Behold the satin, sexy goodness of Naive’s new Moonlight Walk dress. From it’s gorgeous coral color and yards of satin textures to its slinky sexy back and side cleavage, this dress oozes sensuality. I’ve paired it with what else, a total splurge of Stiletto Moody’s Foxy Wedge’s in an appropriate shiny coral patent with silver edging.

+plus* Glam cuff bracelet in silver adds to the look. If you haven’t checked out +plus*Glam yet for accessories, make sure you do. The nicest, unique collection of hand bags and jewelry to be found grid-side. Also not to be missed is the texturing and flexiness of Detour’s fabulous Prairie hair in brown.

But who reads the descriptions anyways? On to the pictures!

I’m wearing a gorgeous sequin skirt in wine from Mimikri’s Joy collection. The one time I don’t mind wearing a system skirt. (I know, the skirt makes me look a little broad in the beam. But contrary to popular belief this skirt is the star of this show and not those good child-bearing hips of mine.) The sequins are totally realistic. So much so that I think they might have made me taken it off during Saturday’s Earth Hour, it’s just that damn bright. The pretty black cardigan is also from Mimikri Cosmo collection. I paired it with a beautiful lace bra from Armidi for a little more modest look. I splurged with impossibly high heels from Stiletto Moody. Are they worth the price tag? You bet. Now I have to get myself invited to a cocktail party or something.

When I saw this brand new richly textured dress from Frangipani, I knew it had to be mine. Look at the flirty scalloped hem! I also knew that I had the perfect boot for it. My bronze boots from Redgrave have been patiently stored on a shelf in my inventory just waiting for this dress. I squealed to see how perfect they were when they rezzed.

Ame True’s gold circle necklace (which is a free gift at her store!), along with her gold hoops and stacked gold bracelets (also part of the free gifty) adds to the gold and bronze goodness of this outfit. My hair is the very popular and elegant and timeless Sofia style from ETD in Dirty Burnt.

Also, non-fashion related, but so wonderful is that piece of furniture behind me. It’s from the master Maxwell Graf of Rustica Furniture. Amazing furniture.

With the upcoming holidays, my dance card is really filling up both with SL and RL commitments. While the shades of the season of red and green are gorgeous, I grow tired of them as time goes on. I wanted to be different at my next function. At <3 Cupcakes huge yard sale this weekend, I laid eyes on this beauty of a dress, I knew this was the one that was going to set me apart from the holiday party herd. Even better, it was a steal, too.

This dress is done in yards of beautiful, rich pink silk and edged with rows of shiny gold sequins. It shows lots of sexy leg, arms and back. Sure, my pixels might get a tad chilled, but it’s all in the name of beauty. The pop of the outfit is completed by the elegant pink leather backless pumps in Tropical by Shiny Things.

My hair is a sexy blond tumble of subtle waves done right by Armidi in the Abigail style in smoked nutshell and my delicate necklace, earrings and bracelet in more gold with peridot by Ame True.

I can’t get over how chic and versatile this teal coat from Savvy Avyy is. For $350L it includes a jacket layer with or without the belt as well as the hoody and cuffs with or without fur. The last picture in the series shows it without the belt and sans white fur. The texture is very woolly and soft that it makes me want to nestle down in it and brace myself against the cold winds in my sim. It’s still snowing!

I’ve paired it with white metallic tights from Armidi, sculptie black leather boots from Redgrave, and <3 Cupcake’s versatile white lacy shirt, but the star of this outfit is still the Chesstress coat. Who says you can’t wear white in the winter?!

Also, I’m highlighting a new skin from RaC. Shown in Lucia 05. I cringed when I hit the “Buy” button and plunked down $4,000L, but dang, sister, you get 6 different looks. Although some would argue that only the lips change, but still, this skin is magnificent, in my opinion. I especially adore the nude matte lips in the Lucia series. While I was at RaC going broke, I had to check out their hair and wasn’t disappointed. I’m having a hard time taking off the Biscuit style.

This dress from <3 Cupcakes at Lame Designs is fluttery and poetic. Just take a look at the hemline and the bodice of the dress. My picture does not do it justice. It’s glittery and sheer. I wore this dress two days in a row, something of unheard of for most of us. One of the best parts of this dress is the price…$250L. The work that went into this dress had to be something. Even the textures on the straps is gorgeous. You will be impressed once you see how this dress moves with you…utterly a poem.

I’ve paired it with a pair of criss-cross ballet shoes in beige from Shiny Things. My jewelery from Ame True and is the Piacere di Andesine Set, which is delicate bracelets for both wrists, earrings and a simple gold necklace. The jewels in it compliment the dress perfectly (and brings out the green in my eyes). My skin is CS Peach Bronze Freckled and my hair is my favorite Bombshell from Armidi. (They’ll have to pry that hair off of my cold, dead avatar.)

Here I’m mixing up the cute trench from Frangipani Designs and the capris from Savvy. The trench comes in a handful of colors and in my opinion is very versatile. You can take this trench and dress it down with a pair of jeans and a pony tail.

The jewelery is simple and classic ala Coco Chanel. This necklace is wonderful because it’s scripted and you can change metals simply by clicking on it. My peep-toe wedges are from Maitreya. The scuplty is well-done and sexy. There is an ankle tie with a bow, but I chose not to wear it here. The hair is a beautiful, sophisticated pony tail and a new release from ETD called Lynne II. An uptown ponytail with edgy highlights in black.

Here I’m showing the shorter version of this exquisite, flowy dress from Immortelle. It’s available in black, white and this berry color. When you buy the dress you get the long skirt as well.

Modeling House of Nyla’s crochet gown in pink. This gown is a show-stopper and a heartbreaker. He’ll think he is seeing your girly bits, but everything is cleverly concealed by crochet. Amazing work, expensive gown, but so worth it.
