My grandmother used to say that you couldn’t mix blue and green. Now, my gramps was a wise woman, but on this statement , we’ve always passionately disagreed. I love green and blue, I’m just not fond of mint green and baby blue together. But then, I’m not a mint green fan, period. OK… rambling again, onto the outfit. I’m wearing Coco’s denim tailored jacket and, also from Coco, the white v-neck tee. The skirt is from LeLutka’s flora dress (green). My shoes are the Classics (Blue Sea) from Shiny Things. I’m wearing the cute umbrella that Annah Whitfield from Storin made to go with her umbrella poses (used for this photo).

I’m wearing Truth‘s Luna in Night and PXL Creations‘ Kim in light tan (beta).

Alchemy Immortalis

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, new releases on May 31, 2009| 3 Comments »

Alchemy Immortalis is the brainchild of Alchemy and Immortalis Cyannis. Although apparently new to SL, their style and products are undeniably reminiscent of a great couple of content creators which recently decided to leave SL. And yet, It has a fresh touch, like starting over with a blank canvas. Aside from my recommendation to visit their, not yet finished, bed and breakfast sim Empress & Hierophant, I wanted to share the latest addition to their expanding medieval/renascimental jewelry line. The Ami amet deli pencet necklace is inspired by a 13th century French brooch, and is fully scripted. You can choose from a number of metals (Alchemy), and also customise the gems (Gemology). Also the script will let you resize the necklace, if required. What struck me in this piece is the intricate execution, the amazing textures of the cabochon gems and the baked shadow that is amazingly accurate.

Other need to knows: I’m wearing Truth’s Luna hair in Night, PXL Creations’ soon to be released Kim and Rebel Hope’s Handfasting gown

and more colours we have… Although this time in the accesoires. The base of the outfit is really simple with a jeans from Kari and the alabaster Hykova tank from Whippet & Buck, but then I brought in happy colours with the necklace and bangles from Ume, Artilleri‘s pink snakeskin belt (tinted) and Skin Flicks new sunglasses. The hair, with scarf, is new at Aden (yes, Aden is back!) and I’m still wearing Tuli’s group gift Hope.

Yardsale: Want Dazzle?

Posted in Uncategorized on May 28, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Voshie, a fellow blogger, owner of Nocturne and darling extraordinaire is in acute financial need with the risk of being evicted, and some of her friends and fellow plurkers are putting together an impromptu yardsale to help out a bit. I’m tossing in a couple of my total vintage DAZZLE’s (yep, you read that right, for Voshie I’m willing to part with some of the most wanted retired designs). I’ve just passed them to her, so she’ll be setting them up at Callie’s sim where the yardsale will be hosted for as long as needed (and PLEASE no ranting about Callie being spontaneous and generous to host this ad hoc event!). Hopefully a lot of people will go through their transferables and donate, and please check back often, because there will be new additions constantly.

Running between meetings today and it reflects in my outfit. I’m wearing Coco’s black jacket & blouse and Artilleri’s pink basic pencil skirt. Ume’s chain belt and Genesis’ Annah hoop earrings are the jewelry options for today. Last night it got late, so I’m glad I can hide my puffy eyes behind Skin Flicks pretty new sunglasses and on some days, even if I quit smoking in RL long ago, I just crave a pixel ciggy. FNKY! being my brand of choice.

I’m wearing Uncleweb’s Jeff hair in Angel shine and Tuli’s latest group gift, Hope (pretty, pretty, pretty!)

As usual, you can find all the slurls to the shops in this post at http://slurls.wordpress.com/

Remember These?

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, Sale, skins on May 27, 2009| 1 Comment »

Fleur has marked down all skins 50%. Yup, you read that right, that’s 50% off, ALL SKINS! That’s Vivant, Allure, Parfait, Shoujo and the specialty skins. NB: Vivant costs as little as 250 L$ now, the other skins are 500 L$

I love the Fleur brand. CJ is an amazing skinner who has never been doubted for his authenticity and originality (which apparently, these days, is quite an achievement) and Roslin is a great make up artist with an endless flow of ideas for classy and outspoken looks. I’ve worn their skins for ages and they have inspired me to many a photo. So yeah, I’m a bit sad to hear that they have decide to retire them all…

Ona brighter note, there are good things to come. After the sale, Fleur will introduce a brand new skin line and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to try on some betas.

It may be some time yet before they are ready, but in the mean time, get your discounted Fleur fix while you can, because I don’t know how long it will last!

So yeah, this dress inspires me, the colourful combinations that Mara is available in leave plenty of room for playing and mixing with other items. I planned on going to a friend’s wedding like this last night, but then RL kicked in (Sorry Denise!). Anyway I thought I would feature it on the blog as a sample of how multiple looks can be achieved with the same dress. I’m wearing the lime Mara dress from KA designs here and looked for a strong contrast with Skin Flicks’purple Grace top and dito Taylor skirt. Not shown, but a good match are Maitreya’s lime slinky stilettos. I’ve accesorised with Genesis’Annah hoops, and Miriel’s LE Heart silver necklace (no longer available, it was a limited for Heart of Love charity). The lovely pink rose is from Artilleri.

I’m wearing Kim from PXL Creations (beta) again and another unreleased hair from Truth, which I’m sure will be out one of these days.

So, today’s look is a pretty colourful mess again….. I’ve taken KA Designs’ Mira dress and used the top as a blouse, with under it W&B’s Hykova Tanktop in Valentino. Then I picked Kari/TW’s new school jeans (yeah, again… Torrid… make me some colours… pretty, pretty please!) and added the low hipster belt in purple from League and the coloured white plain belt from Kari. I’m also wearing Artilleri’s yellow Nora glasses and Lucas Lameth’s Nalah necklace.

Today’s skin is Cupcakes’ Seduction Topaz in Cameo, and the hair is an upcoming release at Truth… so keep an eye on theblog, because it’s gorgeous!!

Chryselda Evening Gown

Posted in Casa del Shai, MV-SL-Fashion on May 23, 2009| 1 Comment »

Chryselda Evening Gown, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Another designer who is making her way back to the grid is Shai Delacroix. After a hiatus of roughly 3 months, she’s back in action and she hasn’t lost her touch. The Chryselda gown comes in 2 combinations and is flamboyant and stylish. I’m wearing the gowns with the Hingis hair from Tukinowaguma, and I have recoloured the flowers to match the gown better. The ornament is colour change, but the options are rather harsh colours and the options are limited. I’m wearing Cupcakes’Seduction Brownie, in the skintone Cameo.

Just a quick look thrown together with some new things from a couple of my favourite designers. Milla from Michami has made these totally sexy Afton dresses, and I’m wearing the cream one for the occasion. I’ve matched it with Surf Couture’s brown floral cab sweater and their dark brown freedom flops ( I love them, should have bought the fat pack). The wood necklace is from Sole, by Shouko Kanto, who is totally new for me, but oh my, is this a pretty necklace!

I’m wearing my favourite beta, Kim, from PXL Creations (Hart has started make ups by now) and the fabulous Linda hair, from Truth.

Endless

Posted in Art, Jewelry, new releases on May 22, 2009| 1 Comment »

Miskat Qinan, builder of Endless, has been venturing into the tiny prim twisting and created some jewelry. This it the Endless Black 001. The black series is designed to be worn by unconventional and fashionable guys, but it looks pretty good on a woman’s neck as well. It’s 125 prims of tastefulness… not bad mr. Qinan…. not bad at all. As we speak a new necklace in the female, white, series is in the making. I’ll post a photo of it when it’s available.

With the intention of keeping the jewelry line somewhat exclusive, Miskat decided for now not to set up a shop for the Endless jewelry line. If you are interested in acquiring one of his designs, please feel free to contact Miskat Qinan in world.

United Colors of Whippet & Buck

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, new releases on May 18, 2009| Leave a Comment »

I mean… when did they finally decide it was enough? The Hykova tank tops come in 32 (!) wonderful colors… and on all the useful layers. The tops are the slightlest bit transparent, so that cute bra you’re wearing under it will shimmer through… unless ofcourse you’ll decide to layer up and wear more layers over eachother.

Other good stuff: skin: Fleur Vivant Bronze Natural 2 ( this make up may be discontinued), hair: Linda by Truth in Coffee, New School Jeans by Kari/Torrid, belt by Maitreya.

Did I mention Coco is becoming one of my favourite shops… fast? She has 3 t-shirts out, really pretty basics, of which I’m wearing the khaki today. I’m wearing it with Muism’s tartan check pants Stewart, Nylon Outfitter’s 3-hole black belt and Maitreya’s desert boots (l love them). I’m wearing Genesis’Analu necklace and earrings and the Centimetric Wave glasses from Serious Giggle, by Kirin Xeno.

I’ve been buying a lot of the male hair at Uncleweb lately. It’s totally cute. This is Jin 02 in coffee. My skin is Kim, which is still in beta at PXL, but I think Hart is finally happy with how she looks by now… so keep an eye open.
