The Fashionable Heart

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.

Mimikri’s Hot Couture released her new Joy mix and match line. (Check out her blog for all of the pieces and colors available.) And let me tell you, what a joy it is! Beautiful textures everywhere. The sequin wrap top in the wine color has a realistic shine to it. I could see the black or gold wrap top paired with a pair of black leather pants for a rocker/glam look. The details are so pretty, including the little tie bow in the back. The pants with their prim cuffs are wonderful in an organic patterned texture. Each piece is wonderful! And they come in 10 different colors! 10! Under the wrap top, I put <3 Cupcake’s bra for a more modest look. The necklace is a cute freebie from Yummy. I’m also having a hard time taking that hair off from Jade. There is just so much you can do with these pieces.

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.

The look is for the lady who not only hits the hippest parties on the grid, but also knows how to be a lady. The silver stitching on both the day bag and the jacket shows Nyla Cheeky’s attention to detail, as well as the beautiful buckles highlighted on the bag, jacket and the hat. The cut on the jacket is nipped in at the waist with buckled, bell 3/4 sleeves and a stand-up collar. The scripted mini behaves like a dream as well. I’m wearing a sophisticated Sofia hair style from ETD, but I could easily see a playful pigtailed look working here, too.

This look is new from talented Nyla Cheeky for her ready to wear line. It is the coco haute sexy schoolgirl. Nyla plays with textures in this polished sexy schoolgirl look. The package has the whole look, including two jackets one with and one without blouse, a flexi pleated skirt with sit scripts, knee high lace socks come with sit script in the lace frill as well. The hat, mary jane buckled pumps and handbag are all included. Shoes come with and without sound. Available in 8 colours , 1500 L.

I’m wearing Launa Fauna’s amazing new Chai skin in Honey Torrid and Fancy Schmancy’s La Croix diamond dog collar.
