RFL Clothing Fair, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Second Life’s 4th Annual Clothing Fair benefitting Relay for Life is open! From March 13th at 3pm slt through Sunday, March 21, 2010 9pm SLT you can shop til you drop on 9 sims with over 150 merchants who all have set out 4 or more items of which ALL proceeds will go directly to the American Cancer Society (these are the items in the dedicated RFL vendors)

The Clothing Fair began as a dream three years ago with 34 stores participating in this event for Relay for Life. Since that date, it has grown to over 150 designers over 9 sims and has raised over 11 million Linden Dollars for RFL.

This year is no different. Prepare to be immersed in 8 of the greatest “Fashion Cities of the World” surrounding a center sim patterned after the UN Sculpture Gardens containing sculptures from some of SL’s most talented artists.

For the occasion I have dressed up in Très Beau’s RFL Exclusive Amethyst gown. Yes it is the gown you see on Clothing Fair posters. Isn’t the texture of this gown amazing??? I’m also wearing alaMood’s Amethyst Night Life set, which is also a RFL exclusive (Both alaMood and Très Beau can be found on the CF Milan sim).

Tuli’s Eva 2/6a is the perfect skin with this gown and the stylish red chignon is Summer, by fri.day.

Visit Clothing Fair 2010 and help making this year’s SLRFL bigger and better than all the previous editions!

alamood’s Soho, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Soho is one of the sets by Jori Watler from alaMood which will premiere during the Accessory Fair, starting on Saturday, March 6, 1 pm SLT. I’ve seen some more pieces which will make their way to the fair, and they’re just so worth braving the inevitable lag.

Michami: Tori, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Time for a little teaser… tomorrow, my lovely neighbour Milla Michinaga will release her next batch of lovely dresses, named Tori. Tori is reminiscent of the “geometrical” dresses André Courrèges was famous for in the 60’s. I am wearing the dresses as is here, but think of the options for combining them with other Michami items, like the Pia leggings for instance.

I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Roos Caramel City and Fri.day’s Nicole (jaded Blonde) and Fri.day’s Joanna2 with the Indigo dress.

Other styling notes:
Tori Brown: Cream shop’s orange linen stole and GOS’ Docs
Tori Black : Armidi’s Niama necklace in silver & J’s long boots round
Tori Indigo: Zaara’s Kaya coral necklace and bracelet & Armidi’s Orange Dalia pumps
Tori Green: Maitreya’s brown long scarf & Naughty Designs brown high mocassins
Tori Red: alaMood’s Keeper of Hearts necklace and fri’day’s red flats.

I’m so in love with this new skin from Dutch Touch, Amber. The mouth is amazing, and the skin tone is just uhm… liquid chocolate. I just keep playing with the various make ups. I’m wearing smokey this time around. The hair is the latest release from fri.day, Marie, in cranky brown.

Clothingwise I’m wearing Coco’s black assymetric mini skirt and the over the shoulders black cardigan from the same brand. The grey tank waffle is from Dutch Touch and tthe bra peeking out from under that is from the Mile High set by Blacklace. I’m wearing the silver version of alaMood’s Keeper of Hearts set, perfect for that last minute V-day gift (yes, alaMood has gifting options!), and the outfit is completed by Tesla’s black Angelina boots.

Not being a huge V-day fan, there is one thing that I really like about this time of year and that is the massive amount of delicious lingerie sets being released, both in SL and RL.  I have been spoiled with  lot of them lately, so I figured I might as well share some of my favourites with you.

First there is Cream, today’s release from Lovelace, the annual collab between Nephilaine Protagonist and Launa Fauna. I love how this year’s releases are all dessert/patisserie inspired. And isn’t this one just yummy? There is not enough strapless lingerie in SL!!

Other than the undies, I’m wearing precious little… but the hair it Truth’s Peta, the skin is L.Fauna’s Lapine, the bracelet is alaMood’s Keeper of Hearts and the pose and heart are from Glitterati.

The next set in this lingerie loaded post is from 5th & Oxford. The Tease is an upcoming release, and as usual, it comes with tons of options and in several rich colours. There will be knickers, garter belts, bras , corsets and under bust corsets on all useful layers as well as natural and matching stockings to every colour. I love how, with her known eye for detail, Roslin made the stockings look slightly pulled up by the garter. Also they will release their famous gloves in matching colours!

With this set I’m also wearing 5th & Oxford’s Audrey English Rose (medium) and Tiny Bird’s Love Love Love.

I own almost every set which  Camilla Yosuke from Insolence has ever released. It’s just love.  With her gorgeous lace textures and excellent drawn items, she is probably the most loved lingerie designer on the grid. This latest release, Cecile, comes in 6 lovely colours and also comes with a bra option. I have picked the pink corset/chemise option, since it shows a little more of the mad skills of Camilla.

I’m not a stockings fetishist, but I love it when they are well done in SL. Many you see are pretty bland and with mediocre textures, but like 5th & Oxford, Insolence’s stockings are SO well made, with the perfect capture of that sheer shine which any nylons these days have. With every set of Cecile, you get several different shades of stay ups as well.  With Cecile I’m wearing Lelutka’s Ife (make up 3 in sunkiss) and  Maitreya’s Bo hair in Pecan as well as alaMood’s Keeper of Hearts bracelet.

Last but not least in this run is Blacklace’s Mile High set… yes… there is also a stewardess set for this release… but I’m sticking to the undies today… maybe some day i’ll show you how hot the skimpy dress is with the hat and all.  The Mile High lingerie is very outspoken, the woman wearing this is a predator… feline, her poor prey will be caught before he even realises he was being hunted…Blacklace is strong at making this statement, their lingerie is very empowering. There are also lace gloves to go with this set, but personally I’m not a fan of lace gloves, so I left those out.

With the Mile High lingerie I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Amber skin and the Aphro hair from Another Level.

I’ve picked quite a sunny look for today, with the bright orange Hallie sweater from Skin Flicks, with a wonderfully sculpted off shoulders attachment (3, to be exact, for better fitting) and, also from Skin Flicks, the beige Hallie pants (high waist, trousers & shorts version included).

The orange Dalia pumps from Armidi are still among my favourites for looks like this. The gorgeous collar is Akhal from alaMood, which has been lurking in my inventory ever since the jewelry fair.

Lately, I’ve seen quite a lot of this hair around. It’s Baby, from Analog Dog, and while the alpha channels drive me totally crazy, the curls look so pretty! Also the textures look way better these days than last time I tried Analog Dog hair!! Jolie (coffee, Autumn) from Dutch Touch is the skin I’m wearing with this look. I just think orange looks best on a darker skin.

I’m wearing ICING’s Camilla today. I went to Miko’s shop to check if I have missed any newness lately… but unfortunately, that was not the case. I miss new ICING stuff!!! So I figured I’d pick one of my older dresses and dress it up a bit.

Not too much, because Camilla is pretty all by itself, but considering the cold over here, a cardigan didn’t seem exaggerated. Since it’s mod, Coco’s lace cardigan is ideal to be tinted to fit multiple outfits. I picked a grayish brown which matches the sash of the dress. With the C.Edo flats in gun metal from Truth, you get a lovely outfit.

OK, to be honest, from all the ICING dresses in my inventory, I picked the Camilla dress because I wanted to create a sweet look to match alaMood’s Endless love set (diamond), which is so pretty and delicate.

I’m wearing Truth’s Caroline hair in latte, and PXL Creations’ July natural.

OK… so I agree… this is not the usual outfit for some serious gardening… but pixels don’t make you dirty! I’ve been working on another corner of Leek Island today, dressed like this.

I’m wearing Redgrave’s transparent knit sweater which I stole from a friend of mine :-P. It’s from Redgrave’s male collection, but as usual, it looks better on me than on my buddy. The bra which keeps it half decent is from Pig, from the softies collection and shimmering under that you can still see some of HUZ tats’Timeless tattoo. The Rebel Rebel asphalt jeans skirt is from 5th & Oxford. With this outfit, I’m wearing Tesla’s black Angelina boots, but they got cropped out… totally awesome boots though.

I’m wearing a triple lip ring from Puncture and an unreleased stack of rings from alaMood (SLDD of coming Saturday!). Other than that I’m wearing Ife light (make up 2) from Lelutka and Nick hair in meteorite from St.Uw (Uncleweb).

SLurls can be found here, as usual.

A casual look for a snowy monday… I picked up the saddle brown Vanity jacket, which disappoints me a bit texturewise, but I like the style of it. Yes, there, I’ve said it… The texture is bland, not really well shaded, and sub par to some of the other items from Lelutka,  but I’m a sucker for this kind of jackets. I’m wearing it with Pig’s dandelion softie (Stumblebum exclusive) and Dutch Touch’s basic jeans def 3.

J’s western boots come in an almost perfect matching brown, so they were the obvious companions for this look, and although one might expect gold accesoires for the colour of the buttons, I picked my alaMood Grazia set (not available, custom work) to wear today, because… well.. I felt like wearing it.

Weeks ago Heather Beebe of Rockberry dropped me some samples of her latest skin, Jules, and the kinda went lost in my inventory, but during yesterday’s organising session, I found them back. Skins make me happy :-), though the nose is a wee bit hard for my personal taste on this one. I’m wearing the H natural with dark brows here. Lelutka’s Jennifer in walnut whip is the choice of hair for today’s outfit.

I decided to post a couple of themed looks in one, because there is too much newness finding my inventory lately. I’m seriously backlogging on things. So  from left to right:

Zena. Zena is from a new to me brand, Hyper Culture. They have some nice stuff out, although there is room for improvement, like on this dress where the upper body part and the pants layer textures do not align as well as one should want to, but over all… isn’t this just a darling LBD?  Other credits:

Gloves @ 5th & Oxford
Verve pumps (not visible) @ Maitreya
Crystal earrings & cuff @ Dark Mouse
Little Miss veil @ 5th & Oxford
Roos feather (caramel) skin @ Dutch Touch
Rio hair (Marilyn) @ Lelutka

Dina is a giftie from Valena Glushenko to the Lelutka update group. It’s a very body concious crinkled strapless dress. I’d love to see this in more colours too! Other components to this outfit:

Black leather open shirt @ Aoharu
Prestige boots @ Bax Coen
Alkahi Dew jewelry @ alaMood
Ife skin(sunkiss, make up 3) @ Lelutka
Melissa hair @ Truth

Last but not least is Off the Hook from Sachi Vixen at Adam ‘m Eve. This is a really sexy dress… revealing, but not too much. I’m wearing it with the min skirt prim, because I wanted to stay with the theme of the other dresses, but it also comes with a very pretty longer skirt which is open in the front. It looks a bit burlesque like that. Other than that I’m wearing:

Black Sheared Mink Shrug @ Coco
ThighHIgh Boots @ J’s
Mapatano necklace @ Uzuri
Portia skin (Baroque, tone 2) @ Adam ‘n Eve
Nick Hair (Holy Golden) @ St.UW

Uhm… not sure what triggered this look… Is it Dutch Touch newest skin Gwen, shown here in cocoa -iLiner wine-? Or Lo Jacobs’ new Giada trenchcoat for her Luster brand? Or maybe it’s the drop dead gorgeous DARE booties from Gospel Voom at GOS?

I really don’t know… sometimes it’s just an explosion of “this and this and this” and all of a sudden it looks like THAT. Whatever started this look, I think it looks fabulous with Michami’s black Pia leggings and the studded Keira ribbon from Dela. The Earrings and bangles are from alaMood’s Sophia Fleur set, and the glitter sunglasses are Arftilleri’s.

I’m also wearing a black manicure from PXL Creations and the Aphro hair is from Another Level.

Rezzable is organising another one of their fabulous fashion events, this time at their only remaining sim Greenies Home. As I write this the opening show is well on it’s way. I’m not good at fashion shows, my computer crashes too easily, but I am lucky enough to have these gorgeous pieces from alaMood and Rebel Hope. Jori and Rebel have worked together on this galactic regal outfit.

It’s a 2010 Future is Now exclusive, so after the event is over, these will not be found in the shops. Jori made the awesome headdress and the choker, and the amazing dress is Rebel’s work. Make sure to visit because aside from Jori and Rebel a whole list of other wonderful creators are participating.

I’m also wearing Lelutka’s new skin Ife (light make up 4). Planning a blog post about what I think is Minnu’s most pretty skin so far, later this week.

Brea Toxic, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Only this weekend.. only 50 L$!! Brea Toxic Lime is lovely.. and lime!

You will see me posting to the alaMood blog more often as well. Jori Watler is one of my dear friends in SL and she has asked me if I want to help her out occasionally. So this post may be considered as a disclosure.

Other need to knows: I’m wearing Truth’s Edie in Srawberry, Lelutka’s gorgeous new face Ife light, make up 6, and Jojoruno Runo’s Bulky sweater. The beautiful bambi eyes are from Miriel, and they are not available anymore, but I like wearing her eyes so much, and will just continue doing so. The lashes are Magika’s… primmy but awesome.

Pretty ballerina dancing the day away…. Why is it that, when Paper Couture releases their semestral/annual collection, hoards of crazed fashionistas crash Tableau, but when the individual creators on their main avies bring out new stuff, this goes by relatively unnoticed? It must be the roleplay surrounding the Lu sisters in the past, or our deep longing to own stuff from the RL runways at least in SL, since most of us won’t ever be able to afford the designs of couturiers like Dior, Delacroix or Lanvin in RL… but anyway, that aside, I was at Nylon Outfitters yesterday and noticed that Nylon Pinkney has the cutest new stuff out.

I’m wearing her Inner Ballerina tutu skirt, with the also newly released Crochet lacyey wrap and matched it with Tres Blah’s blueberry pinned flower cami and Michami’s plum Maisie leggings. The ballerina pointes are from Bare Rose.

To contrast with all this girly, frilly romantic stuff, I’ve picked alaMood’s Brea toxic set, with a really toxic lime pendant ( I love the combination of purple and lime… don’t ask me why, but I do). My skin is another preview of 5th & Oxford’s Brooke skin (subtle series) and I’m wearing Truth’s Audrey and slightly adjusted the colour of the hair band to match the rest of the outfit. Request to all the hair creators who, like Truth, use texture change accesoires… please add a fairly neutral white or grey texture too, so that us fashion victims can adjust the colour to our outfits more easily.
