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.

Ivalde’s Odille

Odille, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I had to look it up… December 3, 2006…. 3 days into my blogging career… knew I was a rookie blogger when I blogged Neferia Abel’s designs for the very first time, and back then, she was a rookie too. Things have changed. A lot. More than 2 years later, we both are still around, still doing what we like best, and I won’t judge myself, but as far as Nef is concerned, I think she has grown so much since that first time that we met and she showed me around her shops.

After that I have blogged Ivalde’s designs so often that I’ve lost count. After all, every visit to Ivalde meant tons of new designs. Neferia is a very busy bee and seems to have an unstoppable flux of creativity. Lately though I have kinda neglected the Ivalde sim, following Nef on the blogs, making mental notes to visit, but it just didn’t happen. Until this morning, and in one of the wings of her giant shop full of vintage and contemporary clothes alike, I found Odille. This Beautiful gown in black with black and blue sequins and a poofy sleeve attracted my attention right away. This is one classy gown, my dears.

I did edit this photo some, but only because I was stupid enough to not use my own light settings on a borrowed computer. So I added some light to the skirt. The rest is untouched.

Other stuff: LeLutka’s PETA hair in gold blond, LeLutka Roma light skin, make up 7a, Muse Celestine Diamond frost earrings.

Cheeky Layers

Cheeky, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Vivian Pearl let me know last week that the skin add ons that Cheeky girls have in their store, now are also available on clothing layers, so that you can wear them with any skin of your choice The freckles, but mostly the skinned knees and the spanked bottoms reveal that not every young lady is a, uhm… lady.

For the photo I picked Lamb’s new hair Cherry, and I’m wearing Church of Luxe’s Kate which, I think won’t be available much longer as it was a V-day special. My shoes are the ballet flats from Shiny Things, and the skin I’m wearing is Fleur’s Shoujo DNB 1in Azalea.

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).

PXL, Pixel Dust and Skinflicks Undies and Nighties

Skinflicks, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I’ve blogged Mavis McGettigan’s designs before, and I just like her stuff very much. The other week she sent me a folder full of her latest underwear and nightwear releases @Skinflicks which were waiting in my virtual closet for the right moment to be blogged. The release of PXL Creations’ fashion tan Grace is such a moment. Just a perfect occasion to show off a great skin in pretty undies. And since I was wearing Pixeldust’s upcoming Posh already, I decided to show you some of the other colours that it will be released in as well.

A jeans/blazer combination is maybe my favourite casual look ever. I’m wearing Coco’s black blazer here, which comes with the white shirt. You can of course wear whatever shirt you want with it, but the shirts from Coco are really well made and I like them a lot. Especially since you can buy loose collars with scarfs attached to them, like the one I am wearing here. Normally this would be challenging, because with the blazer attachment to the chest, and the collar of the blouse to the spine… where would you attach the scarf and make it still look good when you move? Right, so kudos for Cocoro Lemon for these cute collar/scarf options. I’m wearing the Stacey jeans capris from Dela today, they have a nice “not too clean” look to them and the cuffs come in various options (rolled, and flared.. and for your convenience, normal and large). The lovely Mary Jeanne shoes are newness from Insolence. Camilla has come to the conclusion that she has released too little shoes lately…. I wouldn’t mind Camilla’s conclusions more often *chuckles*. These are darling, with a good heel and nice buckles. And then I just had to grab the big croco leather clutch from +Plus and Fnky’s aviator glasses to finish today’s look.

I’m wearing the soon to be released Nathalie skin from Tuli, which is lovely. Uma shows it all here . The hair is Pixeldust’s new Posh hair which Autumn will probably release somewhere tomorrow.

I stoppped by Annah Whitfield’s rebranded shop “Storin” earlier to check it out, and WOW…it’s lovely!. The lay out of the shop is spaceous, and items that I never really noticed before just caught my attention now. Like this lovely red dress which Annah made last December and named after Codie. Can’t believe I’ve missed this before! I decided to wear it as is, because with the belt that belongs to it, it’s just stylish. I dressed up with the cold collar from SLink’s metal collar halters, the vanilla stockings from DownUndies and the lovered Thaelle pumps from Dela.

The hair, with hat,is Charley,from ETD and the skin I’m wearing today is Desire (t2), from Adam ‘n Eve.

The fun part about cleaning out your inventory is that you find stuff back you didn’t even knew you had anymore…. like this lovely pastel green “Hungry for a Holiday” cardigan from Pididdle. I have no clue how it ended up in my inventory, but I’m sure glad I tried it on today. I’m wearing it with Fuse’s sheer Empire Lace blouse and Maitreya’s Cleo jeans skirt and also from Maitreya, the brown coin belt. Also the soho boots are from Maitreya, and the chained heart necklace is from Yummy.

I’m wearing Truth’s Louisa in Brownie (Sale ends today!!!!) and my skin is Grace, from PXL in the darker skintone Fashion Tan (will be available soon)

Mimikri calls this latest outfit of hers Moo! But actually it reminds me more of a giraffe print, than cow print. That being said I’m wearing the system skirt version of Moo in this lovely acqua/blue colour (she also made a prim skirt version). When I was thinking about how to accesorize it, I wanted a bold, almost exotic look, so I paired it with some cerise/pink items like Blaze’s pumps in Rose (tinted a bit to make them match better), Ivalde’s Birla violet/red belt, and Lucas Lameth’s Nalah long necklace in pink

I’m wearing Aden’s gen 4 in dark tan because of the way Mimikri did the arm cut. It’s fairly wide, and Aden’s skin reveals the breast muscle so well ( yeah, I know…I’m kinda obsessed with it) and the hair is Exile’s Helena in Twilight.

I know! I know I’ve worn Tesla’s Kensington boots paired with shorts just the other week…but I really like the combination. And when Twiggy Whippet, of Whippet & Buck, sent me these cute shorts… the boots were on before I knew it. The Stein shorts, worn in Van Cleef here, will be available once they open their new shop on Imogen, but in the meantime there are a few items in their small shop at Festivale. I’m wearing them here with Armidi’s white Cambridge shirt and Maitreya’s brown long scarf. The jewelry I’m wearing is from Shiny Things’ Florina set.

I picked Boon’s UEJ006 hair in chocolate and PXL Creations’ Grace in sunkissed, with the beautiful new wine lipcolour.

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)

Aden’s gen4

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, skins on February 21, 2009| 3 Comments »

Aden Gen4_ed

Aden is one of those skin designers that I have been following for a while, and although I did find the skins interesting before, they never really worked for me. They have a frail beauty which I adore seeing on others, but somehow when I put them on it  always felt out of place. That has definitely changed with the release of Gen4.

So, am I about to start pooping rainbows now? Nope, because I do think there are some issues to this skin. Does that change that I like it a lot? Nope… not one single bit or I would not have bought multiples… so read on…

All the blonde and the soft colours I’ve been in the last couple of days need balancing and so I looked for something fun and colourful. Fun and colourful is synonymous to Stitch by Stitch to me, so I decided to check what’s going on at Sevenstar Amat’s shop and picked up this happy fall coat, even though by now we’re close to spring. I had to adjust my shape for it, since it’s basically a no hip prim skirt, but I still love it. I’m wearing it with the white glam tank from Michami, and the capri’s from Last Call’s The Heiress Suit (not available any longer). The red scarf from Cream shopand Cailyn Miller’s long dropheart necklace are the finishing touches to this outfit, as are my favourite suede black Verve pumps from Maitreya.

I’m wearing the latest at PL Creations, Grace in sunkissed with lucious red lips and the dark eye make up, and my hair is Boon’s Era 801 in black.

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.

The new highskirts at Maitreya with the beautifully crafted prim high waist belt were an instant fave. I’m wearing the lovely mauve Blossom and paired it with the top and shrug of Paper Couture’s Nightengale set. The shoes are Shiny Thing’s Tuli pumps and the jewelry is from Caroline Apollo (XOXO Walldorf necklace and XOXO trio diamond earrings).

I picked Truth’s Victoria hair again, in Barley (it’s still available and all proceeds are going to the Victorian Bushfire Relief) and my Grace skin from PXL Creations.
