ISABELLA IN SAPPHIRE

 I love this gorgeous strapless dress!  The tight fitting bodice that flows into a beautiful black sheer chiffon, layered skirt that is accented with sapphire beading that glitters as it swirls around your feet when you walk or dance, catching the eye and mesmerising you with perfect movement and settling gracefully.

 

The bodice sparkles as if its is designed with thousands of tiny crystals and is softened by the sheer fabric accent at the bust.  The silk black elbow length gloves finish off this lovely formal gown adding a sexy glamor with the fine sheer and beaded accent in the same pattern of the bodice and skirt bottom at the elbow.  I finished this look with my favorite GK piece called a Night of Elegance and a loose sexy updo from Exile called Leilani.  Fabulous as usual Mami!!!  I can't wait to see what comes out for Christmas!  Isobella is avaliable in Sapphire, Coral, Topaz, Emerald, Aquamarine and Onyx.

Gems & Kisses - Artistic Creations from the Heart

I have been so lucky to have worked with the incredible Deliziosa Vendetta, artist and Creator of Gems & Kisses since it hit the SL Grid a couple of years ago.  During this time I have gotten to see Deliziosa grow as an artist and successful entrepreneur in Second Life. 


Deli has never been in this for the money, it has all been a labor of love since it's inception and you can see this love and a piece of Deli in every gorgeous piece she creates.  Deli has been a fashion Pioneer in SL from Vintage, to futuristic pieces, she has paved the way for other artists to follow in her mentoring, creativity and passion for all she builds.  To Deli success means that her followers are satisfied and love every piece that they buy from Gems & Kisses as she has been creating them.


Deli is a very generous person,  she has a huge heart and gives so much of herself and her art to anyone who needs it.  She has donated a lot of time and energy to a lot of SL charities and causes, the biggest ones being Haiti Relief RFL, Japan Tsunami Relief.  She goes out of her way to donate what she can to help out wherever she can.  She has also been amazing to new models starting out in the industry, mentoring and providing them with opportunities that they would have not gotten easily.


With this success has come pain for Deli.  She has had some major health issues in the last few years that have impaired her temporarily but continue to be a real issue in her real life and second life.  Through all this physical and emotional pain she works through doing what she loves, which is her art and creative process that brings all of us a piece of her with every piece of Jewelry we wear from Gems & Kisses.  To add to this, unfortunately there are people that don't like to see others succeed and go out of their way to cause pain and doubt about artist when they are insecure in their own abilities and the competition presented by others that are talented.  She has been the brunt of some very unfair, unfounded accusations and cruelty that goes beyond complete disrespect for her has an artist and a human being.  These things would cause most of us to pack up and leave but Deli holds her head high and continues to create and put all that passion, hurt and anger into building her art and creating pieces that are more spectacular than the ones before them.


Deli is a dear friend to me, she has been the source of so much inspiration, creativity, support and success in the modeling industry in SL.  I only want the best for her and her happiness and success.  For those of you that don't know this beautiful, talented artist, I can tell you it has been my honor to call her friend.  I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for all she does for me and for every project, charity that has been dear to my heart.  She is truly one of a kind!


Deli has Jewelry priced for all walks of people in SL and frequently has amazing give aways, specials and amazing deals!  Now this amazing lady wants to offer her full collection of Gems & Kisses at a limited time Special, Crazy deal so that all avi's can have beautiful pieces of G&K and I have been told that it will be jaw dropping, incredible, unbelievable!  Once this is over all these pieces will be retired and you will be shocked and amazed to see what this talented and creative artist does next!  She never fails to inspire us all!  So keep your eyes and ears open to the blog, G&K groups and other SL groups for the announcement of this amazing special to hit the grid very shortly.

Thank you Deli! I can not wait to see what the future brings for you and Gems & Kisses!

NURAY KNIT GOWN

 This is one of the most beautiful, original designs I have seen in SL for a long time!  I had the fortune of Visiting Cuba a few years ago and this is so reminiscent of something you would see in one of their amazing Vegas like shows.  The incredible detail looks and feels like a knitted dress, the use of different shades highlights and compliments this stunning piece, from the halter top to the layered ruffled floor length skirt.

The ornamental winged piece at the back ties this gorgeous gown together giving it a Haute Couture look that is stunning for many occasions.  I paired this beautiful gown with Milky from Mandala and some glowing eyelashes from Glow.  gorgeous gown, a must have for your wardrobe from Vero Modero!

HARIKA CABARET SET

 Love this vintage throwback outfit called Harika Cabaret from Vero Modero.  This very sexy outfit with the whimsical hat, deep cut top with the layered, sharp cut flowing fabric sleeves, to the open, mid length fringe cut multi colored skirt and matching tap pants that show off your long, sexy legs with gartered black sheer stockings, is a real head turner!

I love how the black top hugs and pools fabric like sexy raw silk draping around the body.  The sheer and satin short gloves add some mystery.  I paired this sexy number with black rose bracelets and choker from G Fields and ballet shoes from Grim Bros to finish a very sexy vintage look!

HALEEM SET

 I love this very sexy unisex outfit called Haleem from Vero Modero.  As soon as I put it on I felt like a celebrity running around in disguise, looking stylish, chic and amazing, just waiting for the paparazzi to jump out and start taking pictures~!  I love the dark fitted jeans that look worn and comfy, the over sized plaid shirt with high collar, rolled sleeves, that is belted and pulled over and finished off with a long tie so reminiscent of the 80's!



The colors work so well together for a perfect fall look, I added a fedora and just some plain black pumps and this is going to definitely be one of my favorites for this fall!  Your man could also wear this and look very sexy!

ADALET SET GREEN

 I have so much fun with these outfits from Vero Modero, they are so great and styling them is so fun!  This unisex military outfit called Adalet is such a trend setter!  The traditional military hat with a modern twist, a cordless mic sliding down the one side!  The decorative shoulder, padded and sheek, the arm guard, stylish and looking like it could be full of James Bond type gadgets.  The very sexy slim cut pants that can be worn with or without the full bottom cuffs.  Who says that serious military cant also be sexy!



I paired this with a latex black top from SyS and a whole set of Neck, wrist and waist collars from iControl. I finished the look with sexy black latex ankle boots with handcuffs attached from MaryJanes Shoes.  Fierce, sexy and ready to take on the world from Vero Modero!

KEVSER MILITARY SET

 Amazing military fashion!  Bouquet does this so well!  Who wouldn't want to be held and searched in by a beautiful, stylish, confident woman wearing this!?  This futuristic cut design with its dark greys and muted oranges compliment so well! The high collared, corseted top accented with a netted neckline and sleeves with a flared wrist cuff on one side to the shorts with the flared one sided leg and sexy net stockings that disappear in to the perfectly flared boots.

Tying the look together are the muted orange fringed flowered hip and shoulder pieces, that accent the wide belt and perfect cut military hat.  This outfit is complete and available for your fall collection!

The shiny leather green open vest with snaps, mesh, zippers pockets, ties in the very slim plaid pants accented with a dark belt and silver buckle. The front pockets on the thigh are stylish and give a long lean look.

You can wear Bella with the long pants or cuffed knee length shorts, I styled with a short ankle boot from Gos with open toes.



I finished my look with an up do from Fri.day, hoop earrings and matching bracelets and nails from Mandala.  Love this very sexy street, sassy outfit from Vero Modero.



WINDY SATIN OCALIPTUS

 I love this wonderful casual.  The slim fitting sexy Capri's, with deep hip pockets and cuffs, highlighted with a wide,white leather belt.The lovely wind blown, silver patterned halter that gracefully hugs the neck all the way down below the bust where it loosens and blows freely.

I completed this look with some great strappy sandals from Kalnins, silver and black matching bangles and nails from Mandala and long beaded earrings from Mandala.  A must have for your wardrobe from Vero Modero!

LOCUALA SET

 This very unique set is called Locuala from Vero Modero.  Very Haute style!  The leopard patterned top is strapless and fitted to the hips, where it loosens and compliments the matching flared Capri's that have a stiff scalloped pattern down the side of each leg.

 The amazing stiff leather collar is the accent piece of this outfit, and it comes in two options, one high neck, starting just below the chin and accented with beautiful feathers all around.



The Second option for the collar has a scooped neck in the front, leaving it a bit more open.  Such a strong piece, so confident!  I styled with Gold hoops, Chen Bracelets from Gems and Kisses and Gold nails and rings from Purplemoon.

KATIME DRESS

Katime from Vero Modero.  This adorable dress can go from very casual to a nice relaxed evening dress.  The sexy halter top is joined with just a piece of material to the open sided bodice the flows into the slim fitting hip and then flared A line skirt, all in a flower patterned maroon material.

You can wear it without the fared skirt in a very slim fitting mini option to show off those lovely tanned summer legs!  I accented minimally with a gold and garnet necklace and bracelets from Earthstone, short painted nails and versatile shoes from Shiny Things called Belles.

 

NIGHT DREAM

Bouquet has created the most incredible formals!  Vero Modero is topping my list as my favorite new place to shop!  I love her unique approach to her designs and Night Dream is just amazing!  The sexy flared arm cuff, the ornamental flowers with strands of silver, that offset the black, to the beautiful flowing full skirt that moves with grace and ease, starting at the double wrapped band on the waist all the way to the floor.

The strapless top is accented with a sheer almost petal like applique on the bust, giving this a dark very Avant Gard look. Night dream also comes with matching ankle boots.  One thing is for sure, when you enter the room, all eyes will be on you!

SILVER

 I had to start with a side shot of Silver from Vero Modero.  This outfit is stunning!  The long Silver Skirt trails regally behind you fanning out.  I took this shot moving into position, it was so beautiful!  Very regal like a Mythic or Scifi queen, Commanding, elegant.

 The open front is so intriguing with the sparkling silver pants and matching dark silver boots.  Then your eyes are drawn up to the incredible open, double layered floor length open skirt in silver and black and silver sparkle. Gathered at the waist with tied waist flowers.  The skirts can be worn separate, so that you can have a satin silver or the black and silver sparkle.  I wore both, I love how they worked together and you just use the Add option to equip them both.

The top is just breathtaking with the silver ornamental shoulders and under bust armor, highlighting the black strapless top.  You can for go this and just wear the top with the silver accents, again I chose both for the effect.  I chose to add a bit of a futuristic element to this gown when I accessorised. The bracelets are  Hydra from RazoregaliaExa from PurpleMoon.

FLY

 This delicious summer casual from Vero Modero is called Fly.  A cute form fitting summer short outfit with a ruffled off the shoulder top and sleeve, is accented with a wide black belt is perfect for any summer occasion!

The bright colors really attract your eye, with the reds, golds, blues in a lovely paisley pattern.  This really could go from day to night with different accessories.  I am wearing Kitty color change bracelets in red and gold from Gems and Kisses and Gold hoop earrings called Chen from Gems and Kisses.  The shoes are from Vero Modero also called Stiletto pump red. The hair is Angel hair called Lauren II.  You cant go wrong in this Fly outfit from Vero Modero.

ASIAN IN WHITE

 More beautiful summer dresses from Vero Modero, this one is called Asian in White, its rich in bright colors, patterns and style, but set softly on the white giving a stunning summer look!  This lovely Mini could be worn casually during the day or dressed up for the evening with an updo and jewelry.

I just love the multi colors in the dress, the pattern is very expressive, you can mix it up every time you wear it with different color shoes and accessories.  I chose to dress it up with orange pumps from Ivanka Akina called Eternity, Plume hair Hibiscus and Gems and Kisses Princess set F with the Vivid color changer and chose an orange gem. 

ASIAN IN BLUE

 I wanted to blog Asian in another color as well so that you can see the incredible patterns in the colors, they are different from the white, both equally as stunning!  This rich blue, multicolor pattern is perfect for an evening affair, weather its a long walk on a beach or a dinner out, you can't go wrong in Asian in blue.

There are so many gorgeous colors and patterns in this dress you can dress it up or down, I pulled out the reds with a set called Asian from Earthstone that has color change beads and metals and went with the red and gold.  I chose a loose updo, more casual than formal, red nails and blue heels from Ivanka Akina in blue.  Vero Modero makes the most versatile, lovely casuals!  Go and get yours today, Asian is available in Blue, Red, Yellow, Plum and White

HOPE

 This breathtaking gown is called Hope.  I adore this gown, the colors, style, creativity!  The open skirt in the front, with the flower designed textures, opening up to the second skirting in one solid color filling out the gown.

 From the side view you see the incredible train of this gown and the fabulous high collar of the top.  The train moves with you and flows just beautifully behind you commanding attention.

The top of the gown is just gorgeous, the vibrant red collar and flowered wide sash belting, matching cuffs on the sleeves, sets of the black flowered pattern in the rest of the gown and draws attention to the stunning detail in the top and belt.  A dream dress, Hope is definitely a must have, visit Vero Modero today to purchase this one of a kind!  All I added to this gown for accessories was the Pearl Rain earrings from Mandala and a simple pair of black pumps, as the dress really doesn't need much more than that!

RIGHE SET

 The Righe Set from Bouquet Babii of Vero Modero is a very sexy black lace outfit.  The top, from the off the shoulder black lace ruffles and ruffled sleeves down to the tight fitting lace bodysuit that fits like a glove and is finished of with a wide leather belt and net stockings peaking out, that adds a little mystery, wondering what is underneath!  I paired this outfit with Bon Bon Earrings from Gems and Kisses, Black Ballet Shoes from Grim Bros and some spiked cuffs from the twisted hunt.

Look no further, for those of you that dare, you can also wear this outfit with out the lace pant and the long lace sleeve and show of the thigh high net stockings with a sexy pair of high boots, giving you 2 completely different looks! The boots are from J's.  Such a fun, versatile outfit!

DOLCE DRESS

 My new favorite summer casual!  Dolce comes in many colors, I just loved this one, it was so beach and casual day color for me!  I love the empire waist and soft flowing skirt, the length is great to show off your beautiful tanned legs and summer glow!  This could really take you from day to night, a nice dinner or casual beach party, it is a very versatile dress.

The strapless top and soft patterned texture finishes off the look and it fits perfectly, with really minimal work on the sculpted top, one of the easiest fits I've ever had!  I paired this lovely casual with Mandala's Pearl Rain in white earrings and bracelet and an open toed sandal from N-Core shoes.
