I’m catching up with Angie Mornington on Fabulous Fashion TV as this week’s guest stylist. That’s right, I’m pulling an all nighter because the show starts at 6pm SLT, and that’s my 3 am *chuckles*

Please join me and cheer me and keep me from falling asleep at my keyboard, because I have promised to translate for Squinternet Larnia from Donna Flora, who is this week’s featured designer.

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I’m a total sucker for a good system skirt. So when last week I was over at Bijou and saw this pretty from their Ambient outfit, I knew I had to have it. I’m wearing it with the basic white Cambridge Cuffed shirt from Armidi and accesorised with the Kaya set from Zaara. I’ve picked the black Marie shoes from Tesla to wear with this outfit. I love strappy pumps. I’m wearing PXL Creation’s Kim in tan and Adam ‘n Eve’s adorable Cristina hair.

Going professional today, even though the cute Christy skirt from Skin Flicks is too short to fit the proper definition of office/business attire (which would be knee length, or just above knee). But since I’ve got the legs to pull it off -in SL at least- I picked it anyway to go with the Dietrich shirt from Lelutka and the beige houndstooth Metro jacket from Bijou. I’m wearing the black nylon tights from Sheer and the Pearl and Chain belt from Ume. My glasses are from FNKY and the earrings are Exodi’s Bailey’s pearls.

I’ve picked Cupcakes’ Seduction in Wheat (Girly make up) and Lamb’s Unbirthday chignon in Butterfinger to finish the corporate look.

Notte d’Estate

Notte d’estate, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I used to love the summer nights in Rome. Standing in the dark at the Piazza di Spagna, or the Piazza Navona, watching the world’s top models strutting their stuff on the open air catwalks. The Spanish Stairs in Rome are an amazing decor for a fashion show… I think I liked those better than the ones at Piazza Navona. When I say top models, I mean top models. I’ve seen them all there… Claudia, Linda, Naomi, Christy, Helena, Tatjana, Cindy, Eva… and the beautiful designs of Armani, Gianfranco Ferrè, Valentino (i’m going to make that pose… I swear I will) and good old Gianni Versace (when the maestro was still around, not what it has become under the hands of the über tanned Donatella). Aaah.. oh well.. those were the days. I haven’t been in Rome for years now, and since we don’t have the Italian television station on our network anymore, I don’t even know whether these summer night fashion shows still take place. But when I was at Baiastice earlier, and saw this pretty Notti d’estate gown… I simply could not resist. The name alone triggered too many dear memories. And the design of the dress for me reflects the timeless elegance that above mentioned designers stood for. I usually am not a fan of satin, but this one looks pretty good I think. The set also includes a cocktail dress and the jewelry is from Baiastice too.

Hair is Tia, from Exile, and I’m wearing Kim theupcoming release from PXL Creations.

Nicky Ree granted me a preview of this first gown in a new collection. Water Nymph Adrie is like water pixelfied… gorgeous textures with waterdrops and a wavy prim gown. It will be released on Saturday 28 may to the public and has been out for a bit for Nicky’s group members. While I’m showing your the blue version, I’m sure this gown will be released in vast range of colours that we’re used to from Nicky Ree.

I doubted for a bit what to wear with this beauty, and in the end I decided to pick Lucas Lameth’s Athena necklace and earrings to accesorise, because the prism ETD’s sea nymph hair in Abyss, which is not available anymore, but a perfect hairdo to wear with this.

Quick and dirty, because I’m late for work already… I’m wearing the new jeans from Coco (they have opened a new mainstore and have lots of newness out) with the blueberry plain tank from Très Blah as well as the sjort Lovely Leather Jacket from Fashionably Dead. The black long scarf from Maitreya, the biker boots from Redgrave and the (tinted) white Hombuth hat from Apollon complete the look.

I’m wearing one of Skin Flicks latest dresses, a really girly little number, Ella in floral Beige and I’m wearing the cropped washed jeans jacket from Barerose’s Nora outfit to go with it. I’ve matched this with the slouch socks in brown from Maitreya and UBU’s PornStar Xtra Hi-Tops MultiColor v2. My necklace is work in progress from Lucas Lameth.

I read that Free Speerit will be back soon, which is good news, because I really like their skins. I’m wearing Alice (pure) which is currently unavailable, and SLink’s adorable new hair Lorelei.

I’m feeling a little different today… Samara challenged me to get out of my fashion comfort zone and use a Silent Sparrow design for a look. Now that’s a sweet challenge, because I’m a long time admirer of Hyasynth Tiramisu’s awesome designs, even though I hardly ever find myself wearing her stuff. She makes the most gorgeous textures and has has a very unique style, not to mention the prim parts of her outfits are just always looking great too. /end fangirling

Anyways… I chose the wine Dominion suit for women and I am wearing the coat with Last Call’s Milena corset (no longer available) and Sheer’s fish net stockings. Also I’m wearing Bax’ ankleboots…. again. I realise I had them still on from yesterday, but they just fit with this look. I picked the Whiskey and Plum set from Balderdash to accesorise. And my AO this time is from Anamations (Cane AO)

My hair is Lady Alanya from Sky Everett and my pick for today’s skin is Forbidden 11, from Lionskins. The fangs are from The Dark Rose

Well.. seems we have at least a hint of spring this week. Crocusses and Dandelions are full in bloom, but for the rest the weather is still pretty meh and grey and wet. Yet, I think it’s fair to say that we can say goodbye to winter, so it calls for a bit of a spring look. The chiffon like Maria blouse from Dela is worn with the black Stella pants from Michami and Bax’ black ankle boots. I’ve accesorised with the silver necklace form Icon and Artilleri’s black snakeskin belt.

I’m wearing Grace natural with red lips and smokey eyes from PXL Creations and Philotic Energy’s Katalin in kohl.

This outfit has a definite 80’s feel to it. With the Konstanse dress from Ivalde which is a zebra-ish version of the tunic dresses that made Azzedine Alaia big in the 80’s. Hence also the leggings, the Xanadu leggings from Truth. I added a little colour accent with the lime fat belt from Callie Cline and Maitreya’s lime slinky stilettos. The massive Callas earrings from Dela complete today’s look.

I picked another one of Aden’s skin light, make up 10, which, with the smoldering eyes, reminds me somewhat of the girl’s in Robert Palmer’s famous clip “Addicted to Love” and with that same clip in mind I picked LeLutka’s Keira hair.

The other week Maitreya’s gorgeous tops were all over the feed, and I was a little meh about it, because i’m not a huge fan of big,body covering prims. Dunno, I’m just too voluptuous I think, my shape always sticks out on every side of such an attachment and i’m really not a master in adjusting prims.But Beau and Onyx have made this pretty easy. Not only by giving you standard a s/m/ and l version of both the plain and the AO containing top, but also by adding a resizer script to the medium version. In my case I just had to shrink the large top a little and then make my boobs a wee bit bigger to fill it up nicely. Yeah… making things work on your avatar sometimes takes a little work. I’m wearing the strapless Spring 1 top with Zaara’s white velours Ishaya slacks, which is one of her latest releases. My Industrie work boots are a bit of a funny choice. Thruth sent them to me last night. They are for the guys, but when you resize them, they look really cool and comfortable on girl feet. I would not have bought them off the shelves, but I am pretty much in love with them by now. I kept accesoires really simple, since I’m a firm believer of the less is more doctrine and picked Icon’s gunmetal SW bangle.

I’m wearing Grace again, the fashion tan that was released yesterday, with the lovely flamenco lips and my hair is one of Truths new releases, Felicity 2 in Mocha, with improved textures (and I loved the old textures already, but these look so much softer yet).

It’s sad, really, that sometimes I only remember a content creator when I hear they are going to close. Like in this case Jonquille Noir, from Little Rebel. Little Rebel used to be one of my fave adresses when I came to SL.Jonquille has a huge collection and was totally affordable even for my newbie wallet. But then you discover the huge and ever increasing variety of content… and those trusted places fade.. Not nice.. So today’s outfit is with one of the items thet I picked up at the sale at Little Rebel.Everything is marked down to 25 L$!

I’m wearing Jonquille’s black and pink floral wrap dress with the über classic white broadcloth blouse from Coco and the pink leather sash belt from Fleur. I’ve tinted the sand Mraz scarf from Decoy to match the pink of the dress and picked the black pearl ring from Paper Couture (which was a 2007 jewelry fair exclusive) as sole piece of jewelry. When I was looking for the right shoes to wear, I rediscovered the lovely enchant peeptoe shoes from Maitreya, which, much like Little Rebel, were kinda lost in the depths of my inventory (the shoes,not Maitreya itself)

Bonjour Operator from Lamb! in Pale is my hair today, and I’m still wearing Aden’s Gen4 (fair, make up 7)

I feel so spoiled… so many great new system skirts lately… This new set from Michami has an almost stern, futurist, strong look, but is also deadly feminine and sexy. It really doesn’t need a lot to create a unique look with, but for the occasion i’m teaming the cream Anoorea blouse and skirt with the thin electro belt from Kyoot Armi, the crimson gloves from Fleur and the Rose Florette pumps from Truth. The diamond bee necklace is from the 2007 Spring collection from Paper Couture, the diamond encrusted ring is from Paper Couture as well, and the black Paula glasses, which add some real contrast to the outfit, are from Artilleri.

Like many a blogger I’m infatuated with Maitreya’s new Piper II hair,wearing the ash blonde here, and I’m wearing Grace in the soon to be released sunkissed skintone from PXL Creations.
