MARCH IS THE MONTH FOR RELAY FOR LIFE

2012-03-05T11:53:00.000-08:00

I love the month of March, for us Canadians, and parts of the USA, it means that there is some sunlight at the end of our long snow tunnel and spring is in the air! It's also a time for wonderful events to take place, in the form of Relay For Life.

For myself I have loved and lost people very close to me from cancer, watched them battle with all their strength and courage to beat it and slip away when they could fight no more. These people to me are so heroic, amazing, strong. I have also watched those close to me fight and win their battle, and go on to be advocates, volunteers, take on cancer, look it in the face and tell it that it's not taking them, not now, not ever! And they go on to be an inspiration to another who is battling.

I feel that it is my duty, as a loved one of a Cancer survivor to do my best to help beat cancer in anyway I can, raising awareness, raising funds for research and cures, to be a voice for those that have gone to let cancer know that it will not win, that one day cancer will be defeated.

I encourage all of you in SL, to join me in fighting cancer and giving it the fight of its life so that it will no longer take from us our mothers, fathers, children, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, colleagues. Let's support Relay for Life, Fashion for Life, any and all events taking place in SL in the coming months, all the amazing designers, creators, builders and more that will be donating their time, creations and energy to provide items for auction, purchase, give away in the coming months to help raise money for cures, research, support.

These are tough economic times for all of us right now but I intend for one to dip into my budget where maybe I would go out for dinner or to a movie and instead donate this to help the fight for all of those I have lost and who have survived and to everyone out there that is going to newly be diagnosed, has been fighting and to their loved ones who are helpless watching, grieving, or celebrating remissions.

If you can't afford to help monetarily, and want to help, look around and ask those that are running events if you can help in anyway. All support is welcomed and just as important.

Lets let cancer know it will be defeated. Together we can be a force to be reckoned with.

CALYPSO IN OPAL - MADE FOR MVW GREECE 2012 - Miss Calypso Oliphaunt

Calypso is definitely in my top 5 favorites from Azul. Not only is this gown stunning, it starts out hugging every perfect curve, sensually reveling just a little bit to entice, then it moves like there is a little breeze just waiting to lift the delicate fabric gently, helping it flow around you perfectly, then settles in like a dream. I chose opal because I loved the beautiful colors Mami chose to pair, as the light hits it from every angle you get a different hue, really like the colors of a Mediterranean sea.

The back is very low, fitted and so sexy, kissed by the sheer, multi colored fabric that flows from the thigh to fan out behind you on the ground. Just look at the breathtaking way this dress claims you in its luxurious fabrics, giving you the confidence and power to walk into a room and command the attention befitting a Goddess wearing Azul! My hair is from Plume called Venus. Calypso comes in Opal, Amethyst, Garnet, Jade, Nude, Pearl, Sapphire and Topaz.

I styled with a sublime set called Turquoise Moonglow bracelet and earrings from Jewelry Creations by Zuri. This dazzling turquoise jeweled ensemble is encased in a beautiful silver and added just the right flair to Calypso, the stunning neckline just needed to be bare and the long earrings were just right to draw the eye down. You can get the set with just the earrings and bracelet or a similar set accented with beads, and it has a matching necklace.

ALBA IN lAVENDER - MADE FOR MVW VENEZUELA 2012 - Miss AnnaG Pfeffer

Alba is really a one of a kind gown. Mami has combined beautiful fabrics that work so well together, bringing a rich cultural elegance to Alba. The beautiful top with cascading flowered applique that is tied into the form fitting system skirt by a knotted waist sash, then flares at the bottom and the dark skirting has a lovely lace like pattern that lets light through, giving an extra sparkle.

I had to take a picture with my arms out to just show how delicate and superb the sleeves are on Alba. The layers of sheer, light fabric just cascade like a waterfall from shoulder to fingertips. When you walk the move freely and gracefully, in true Azul style. Alba is available in Mint, Lavender, Aqua, Sakura, Sapphire and Topaz. I styled with an older hair style from HOH which is still available in marketplace called Lilly, there are color changeable lilies at the back that are just perfect for a gown like this.

I chose a lovely set from Zuri called Amethyst Sun, I really love this set it has such a gorgeous antique look, making it such a perfect match to Alba in Lavender. I wear a lot of lavender so this will go with a ton of things in my wardrobe and you can pair it with anything white, off white, black etc, so many possibilities! I love the intricate beading on the chain and around the amethyst stones, the way it lays so dainty around the neck and delicately graces the ears. There is also a matching bracelet, Visit Zuri's today to get your set and to check out her amazing creations!

LOURDES IN MINK

Lourdes is so gorgeous, the form fitting rich satin that hugs every curve and slides quietly under cascading ruffles made of a soft sheer material in the same color as the gown and tinted darker on the ends to bring out the layers that flow to the floor.

The top portion of this exquisite gown in enhanced with a dark mink fur running from the neck to the waist, enhancing the neutral satin and drawing the eye down to take in the full effect. At the shoulder is a perfect fully bloomed flower with feathers elegantly draping down the arm and wire and bead work designs completing the look.

I love the ruffled off the shoulder bodice and the very delicate sleeves that fall below the elbow with definition and some free flowing pieces.

Talk about bringing sexy back!!! The back of this gown is just about scandalous but it scoops down to the perfect point, sensually accenting the perfect curve of a well toned back before hugging your bottom and thighs and skillfully blending into the flared skirt. This is one of my new favorites and is available in Garnet, Amethyst, Aqua, Lavender, Onyx, Sapphire, Turquoise and Champagne. I accessorised with hair from Vanity, Rosabud Earrings and Necklace and Ling Ling Bracelet from Chop Zuey.

NEW YEAR, NEW START, WELCOME TO 2012!

2012-02-08T12:17:00.000-08:00

I have disappeared for a few months from Secondlife and my Blog. I want to thank all of you that read for hanging on and enjoying my posts.

My beloved Grams fell ill in December, she was a big part of my world since I was a very young child, a second mother to me, I spent summers, holidays and many weekends on my Grandparents farm until I moved away from in my late teens to venture out on a life of my own.

My grams may have been a farmers wife, but she was so fashionable, up with many of the latest trends, she really looked amazing whether it was attending church every Sunday or dance, get together, wedding, reunion, she always looked like she could grace the pages of a magazine. I spent the last few months scouring photo albums I had never seen and marveling at how stylish she always was at 4 foot 9 inches and about 100lbs, she was a tiny fashionista!

When she fell ill, I decided that I was going to spend as much time with her and my Gramps as I could, I had so many questions I wanted to ask, so many things I wanted to share with her about how she influenced my life, and how I appreciated growing up on the farm, working hard side by side with her as she taught me how to cook, can and preserve, sew, she attempted teaching me her crocheting skills but my fingers would have other ideas. She taught me about looking great without a lot of make up and feeling confident and never being afraid to try new things, reach out for my dreams, no matter what the outcome as long as I gave it my best shot. She was my biggest supporter in everything I did in my life, she was my best friend.

Sadly, after a stroke which left her unable to speak, she passed away January 19th 2012 at the age of 92. We laid her to rest this past weekend and in the last few weeks I have learned so much more about this amazing lady. She really lived many lifetimes in her 92 years, she lived with diabetis for 60 years, managed it amazingly, and gave to finding a cure in anyway she could. She won many ribbons at local fairs for her canning, crochet work, Embrodery work and hand sewn clothing, she worked tirelessly for the rights of underprivileged children so that they may have a fair chance in life. She raised 3 children, 7 Grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. She traveled in her youth with my Grandpa who was the love of her life for 75 years, 73 of those years they were married!!! Thiers was a love story that will stay with me all my life, thier quiet affections for each other, always a smile, holding hands, all the way to the end, when my Gramps in his unconditional love for her, encouraged her to let go and be with her God, she would have eternal peace beside him in heaven. He didnt leave her bedside he stayed brushing back her hair, stroking her cheek and kissing her forehead, always reassuring her.

I am coming back in February which is the month of Love and with that I am dedicating this months blogs to my Grams and her love of fashion and her unconditional love of all her family, friends and my Gramps.

Thank you all for sharing in my love of Fashion in SL and to the amazing designers that give so much of themselves to be a part of our journey into new and exciting realms of design. I will give you a month of Romance with incredible designers and thier love of what they do.

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

2011-11-11T20:28:00.000-08:00

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!

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!

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!?

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.

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.

The hair is Angel hair called Lauren II. You cant go wrong in this Fly outfit from Vero Modero.

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.

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!

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!

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!

BEAUTIFUL LACRIMA SKINS - JULIE

2011-06-28T11:27:00.000-07:00

I was in the Vero Modero show on the weekend and was given a LaCrima Skin to wear, designed by the very talented creator, Sarai Saphir. Normally I'm an LAQ girl, but I have really fallen for the LaCrima skins. Just a small shop, there are just a few choices really making them so exclusive. I wandered through and tried them on just marveling at the beautiful coloring and styles. This really is a store you must visit and at 900L a skin, they fall within the norm of SL skin prices, fat packs at around 2800L for 11-13 different skins and goodies included with the skins. The newest skin is called Julie and it was featured in Avenue Mag for June 2011. I have a feeling that we are going to see more from this very talented skin designer in the near future and LaCrima will be in your top 5 must have skins! I will show you every make up in the Julie line as well as some shots with the shape that comes with Julie. Most of the shots are with my shape. I put on many different hair styles and colors to show you how incredible this skin fits with any hair style and color. Go to LaCrima today and try on these beautiful skins, they truly are so worth it!

JULIE IN LIGHT

The first thing my eye was drawn to as I wore Julie was the incredible skin color. This is light and she comes in many shade but I loved how the light hinted at a bit of sun. The natural face make up is beautiful as is the tones and highlights in the face. This is Julie M1.

The next thing that caught my eye was the highlighted portions of the skin making it beautiful for lingerie and bathing suit shots. The sheen in the legs, tummy and forehead give a beautiful lighting effect that I thought made photos amazing.

Even, perfect coloring all the way around. I would be very comfortable and confident wearing Julie in any photo shoot, show, modeling event, as well as my everyday skin. You can see the incredible detail that Sarai puts into her skins, everyone beautifully crafted to fit your style perfectly. The next make ups I have taken on a plain background so that you can focus on these details in this gorgeous skin.

M2 a beautiful earthy make up, perfectly gentle colors from Sarai of LaCrima Skins, Julie is just incredible!

M3, nice soft pink looks so beautiful with the blonde, just natural, soft, lovely!

M4 I love the purples Sarai uses, so soft on the eyes and more dominant on the lips for a fun look

M5 Another gorgeous natural look the cheek make up perfectly blended looks amazing with the Auburn hair.

M6 See how the skin tone in these lovely skins from LaCrima can blend so well with any hair color? I find that its so hard to create a beautiful red head look but really with this skin its so easy!

M7 this make up is so pretty, like an iced coffee, it works perfect with the brunette.

M8 Even putting darker hair on, which usually tends to wash you out a bit with out the right skin tones is a perfect match on Julie from LaCrima.

M9 I really love the mauve lips on this skin, Sarai chooses the perfect shades, if you buy the fat pack you have all the lovely colors you would need and you don't have to worry about trying to layer tattoo layers.

M10 there is just a slight green eye shadow with the enhanced natural lip color, it looks so sophisticated.

M11 The make up running from tears is perfectly done, its not to much, I think its a beautiful look, natural and inspired.

M12 Perfect make up shades and the tear streaked make up again so unique on the one eye, more predominant than the two eyes, this look could be used for so many things!

M13 We come to the final skin in the Julie pack, this one is so lovely, you can almost see that tear start and trace its way down the cheek, you still look stunning sad, I think this would make peoples hearts melt!

Julie comes with her own shape, that is really lovely, I love, love the make up streaked skins with this shape, she looks so elegant even when looking sad.

The proportions in the body shape are really great, perfect bikini shape for sure!

I chose a Bare Sensual light and dark skin to show you and this is perfectly shaded as well, just like our RL skin there are different colors, shading but Gigi has detailed them so beautifully, darker in places like under the bottom, spine and lighter on the back of the legs and shoulder blades.

Perfect six pack and shading around the tummy, thighs, knees.

Perfect cleavage, neckline and the belly button is so cute! Great job Gigi and thank you so very much Bare Sensual for bringing such a quality product for such amazing prices! I can't wait to see what you do next!

THE FANTASTIC PURPLEMOON - NEW FOR JUNE 6TH 2011

2011-06-04T14:52:00.000-07:00

The very talented Poulet Koenkamp has some gorgeous gowns coming out on June the 6th! They were made for the Miss Mundo Virtual Contest's 2nd runner up, Choksso Vlodovic. Poulet put a lot of heart and soul into these gowns and the Columbia National Costume, which was Choksso country of representation. The following is what Poulet has to say about these 2 beautiful gowns. I love to have the designers comments about thier creations it really adds to the whole experience!

"The evening gown named "Chok" after this sweet woman, is a siren style gown in satin with embroidery details in silver on the skirt and a magnificent collar around the neck. An open back with a brooch gives this gown a very classy and daring look.
I tried to combine these two aspects of Chok's personality, a very elegant woman with a spicy flavour.
She worn the purple version of this gown"

"I also designed her national gown, inspired in the Barranquilla's Carnivals of Colombia. A festive custom using the colors of Colombia's flag, lots of gold details and native patterns in the fabric.
I was inspired in some of the most recent customs worn by Miss Colombia finalists at Miss Universe contest in Real Life."

CHOK - PURPLE

This is a spectacular gown, the rich royal purple satin combined with the sheer rich overlay with white accents, hug every curve and flair out at the bottom. The lovely matching gloves add glamor.

The extraordinary collar adds the finishing touch to this magnificant gown, fit for a beauty queen and Poulet always has this unique style combining a bit of vintage with modern to create a glamorous combination. The jewelry I styled with is called Life in Platinum from Gems and kisses and the beautiful pose was created for this gown from ::Wet Cat:: called Drama Queen Runway. These poses are included with gown!

CHOK - RED

The red Poulet uses is so lovely, deep with a sheen just makes chok so alluring!

This incredible pose is from ::Wet Cat:: called Drama Queen Runway and there is a whole pack of runway poses created specifically for this gown and included with the gown.

I styled with Marilyn in Red and Platinum Set from Gems and Kisses. You could really go bold styling as well, dripping with diamonds or just subtle, this is really a versatile gown. It also comes in Purple, Black, Ruby, Teal and Magenta. This charming gown will be available on June the 6th and is a must have for your formal wardrobe!

BARRANQUILLA - Miss Colombia - Miss Mundo Virtual

The National Costume of Miss Colombia - Barranquilla, the vibrant pattern and colors mixed so beautifully, layered and ruffled skirt, trimmed with gold fringe. Strapless and so festive! I love the dazzling colors and culture in this divine costume!

Poulet made the exquisite jewelry for this gown from the drop feather necklace, earrings, matching crown and bracelets in vibrant gold and ruby, the bracelets and crown are accented with colorful feathers and plumes.

The headpiece is just breathtaking with the multicolored feathers fanning out the sides and the beautiful plumes standing up in the front. You cant help but feel like a queen in this gorgeous ensemble that comes with all the exquisite jewelry. I paired this lovely outfit with a pair of gold shoes from Stiletto Moody called Bare Lauren in Gold.

QUEEN OF SABA FROM THE NEW QUEEN OF FASHION - EZMERALDA SILVERSMITH

2011-05-31T23:00:00.000-07:00

There is a new designer hitting the fashion world in SL - Ezmeralda Silversmith with her new line of Clothing and Jewelry called Queen of Saba. Let me tell you I am a huge Fan of Ez, she is one of my dearest friends, part of my SL family and such an incredible person. This lovely and accomplished Model is now expressing her incredible creativity designing. I have known Ez since she hit the catwalk running, she was one of my students in my former modeling school and agency and she worked so hard, learned, asked questions until she perfected her walk, posing and styling. Now this lovely lady has moved on to become one of the most promising new designers to hit the grid and like everything else she touches, I really believe it will turn to gold! Her dedication, creativity, imagination and attention to detail will leave you wanting more! She is just wonderful at everything she sets her mind to do. I encourage you to visit her store and try one of her lovely gowns, she many different styles ranging from Avant Garde to high Fashion Formals and her lovely jewelry and all her creations are very very reasonably priced so that every budget can look beautiful. For a first attempt I really am speechless! I can't wait to watch her progression and see what she does next! Love you Ezmeralda and I wish you so much Success! I am going to start with my favorite design and move on from there to the others in the collection, really it was hard to choose which to start with, they are all inspiring!

You can visit Queen of Saba at Nobility
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nobility/113/160/35

or at Paradise Plaza http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dragons%20Fire/168/153/3001

NOBILITY

This alluring gown is called Nobility and it really is fit for Royalty! The enticing design is so unique from the metal design collar, breast and sleeves to the luxurious blue satin that looks like water has been captured and turned into material. The plunging strapless neckline and tight fitting bodice flows into a layered skirt, with a ruffled bustle and longer layered open skirt that opens to a filmy soft silky layered floor length skirt.

This gown is just perfect, it flows together so beautifully and has a romantic regal feel to it with a bit of a futuristic element added with the collar, breast and sleeve design.

Up close view, made to perfection by Ezmeralda Silversmith, Nobility also comes in Pink, Green and Purple, beautiful rich shades!

L'AMOUR DES ROSES

This charming strapless red satin gown with beautiful pleated skirt and train. I love how the fabric wrinkles and bunches like RL dresses and looks like it moves with your body, its so elegant! I paired this gown with earrings from Queen of Seba called Deshi in Gold and Red, they are just the perfect fit!

My favorite part of this dress are the red and black feathers with the roses across the top and adorning the hip, flowing across the legs and back around. They look so real and soft, you just feel them moving softly around you. I really love Ez's choice of colors too, so vibrant! L'amour des Roses comes in White, Black, Purple and Red. I think the white would make a unique vintage wedding gown!

ROSA BELLA

Rosa Bella, I love love this gown! The luxurious fabric again, the graceful feathers and roses that adorn the top of this sexy strapless number, the tight fitting satin that goes down to the knees where the radiant roses and feathers take over and then give way to flared pleated layers of silky perfection all the way to the floor. This has such a sexy vintage look to it!

The final piece of this exquisite outfit is the rose and feather head piece with the tall feathers and rose design, it adds a french flair to this gown. I just love it! Rosa Bella comes in Purple, White, Black and Red, a definite must have!

ELEGANCE

Elegance covers this superb gown, my favorite the stunning pink. Ruffled, strapless long pleated skirt that fans out into a side train.

The tight black flowered corset just makes this dress pop! It is definitely an engaging formal gown and really it would just fit in perfectly at a formal function with its simplistic Elegance. The top is just dazzling with the ruffles coming out of the corset. I paired this with Queen of Saba's Deshi earrings in steel and diamond. Elegance definitely doesn't need much to make it stand out in the crowd! Elegance is available in Pink, Red, Purple and Black.

DARKNESS

Here we see the Avant Garde darker side of Queen of Saba. This enigmatic creation of black satin tight from the strapless top, skirt that disappear into the black and white feathers fanning out around the bottom of skirt.

You look like and exotic bird with the feathers surrounding the body, encompassing you in this divine gown.

Can you just imagine walking the runway in this or showing up to an event like the Queen of Darkness, just having the room go silent while everyone takes you in! Ezmeralda has really captured the truly original with the fabulous Darkness. Also available in Red and White.

JARDIN DU FUTUR

Jardin Du Futur - Garden of the Future is right in this Avant Garde

The incredible full bloom flowered hat, finger butterfly and flowered choker add whimsical elegance to this really grand gown. It is a one of a kind treasure.

DOVE

This truly extraordinary creation is so captivating with the golden dove on the chest of the strapless bodice. The full whimsical layered skirt that flows to the floor. The tiny white doves encased on the wrists in caged bracelets.

The gilded cage headpiece with the dove on top and the free flying white dove inside and adorned with roses. Is this an expression of trying to free yourself? begging for you to let out all your creativity? I think through this artistic piece you can make your own decisions.

AZUL Esperanca/Egretta Red

The incredibly talented and creative Mami Jewell of Azul has put together this beautiful gown for JRF. A stunning tight fitting, low cut, sweetheart neckline, Strapless top, flowing into a full length gown. The red is such a beautiful summer red, bright and playful. The waist which is adorned with a gorgeous rose bustle that falls at an angle from waist to hip is adorned with an organza flourish that flows out from the hips in soft layers and delicately falls behind and to the sides.

You can see how the amazing bustle flows in the back as you move in this gown, and then settles as you stop, combining with the rest of the floor length skirting to make a truly one of a kind gown. It is so delicate and gentle. Like a whisper.

The Detailing in the roses is beautiful with the array of colors dark in the middle and then slowly fading as the rose blooms. I accessorised with hair from Plume called Sakura and Earrings and a necklace from G&K's Princess line in vivid red and silver. A true beauty from Mami of Azul, go down to JRF and purchase yours today and support the relief efforts taking place for all those in need in Japan.

You can see the detailing in the beautiful Shawl, the orange, reds, greens and golds in the trims, flowers and dragon. I accessorized with Falling leaves bracelet and earrings from Earthstones and beautiful Eye make up from OhOhUp called Potpourri in Yellow.

As you turn you get the full effect of this stunning work, the amazing dragon that is embroidered on the back of the gown, the hood and around the shawl, the gold fringe enhancing its beauty and artful creation.

This organization is huge for raising money for cancer research to find a cure, "Relay For Life gives you and your community the opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors, remember and honour loved ones lost to cancer and fight back against all cancers". This is such an incredible honor for me to be able to blog for this wonderful event. Couture for Hope will continue through the month of May so keep your eyes and ears out to the blogs to keep informed and see these inspiring creations! In my RL my mother is a three time cancer survivor, twice with ovarian cancer and once with cancer in her kidney. So cancer has touched my life not only with my mother but with others and I know it has touched many of your lives as well. I would personally like to thank Avenue and all the designers for contributing their time, effort and creativity to this wonderful fund raising event.

INDIE ROSE - DORIS AND PEARLY ROSE

Angelina Eizenberg of Indie Rose created this vintage masterpiece called Doris with matching jewelry called Pearly Rose. This exquisite and delicate off white, low cut spaghetti strap top covered with a sheer off white sparkly antique white top flows into a matching waist and is accented with an antique white ribbon running crisscross up the bust and around the arms. Then flows smoothly into a slim fit satin off white pants and then layers of ruffles flowing off the legs to the ground, so beautifully it almost gives the illusion of being a dress and you can almost feel the perfect, smooth satin on your skin.

The Jewelry is a refined dusky rose and pearl set that matches the rose applique on the side of the pants. The long wrapped hanging pearl necklace sits perfectly and the lovely triple wrapped pearl bracelet graces the arm and the matching earrings just adds a simple finish. This is the perfect outfit for almost any occasion, classy, vintage, feminine, gorgeous! Visit the event and pick up yours today and support RFL.

Sykao Adamski of Entre Mares brings us Wish, a donation to AVENUE - Couture of Hope. This stunning barely there swirled white lace bodice and white feather, sexy open leg skirt is just lovely!

There are matching lace long gloves that add elegance to this remarkable gown!

You can see the perfect feathers and minute detail in the the spun lace. Sykao plays with light to make the feathers glow and some appear almost transparent.

The back of the skirt flairs out and flows with you as you move. This is a very intricate piece and just incredible to see on! Please go down to the event and purchase yours today and support RFL.

PROJECT FUR JAPAN - Benefiting Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support

2011-04-11T21:49:00.000-07:00

I am such an animal lover, I personally in RL have rescued and adopted many cats, dogs, birds over the years and currently have 4 cats that are just as much a part of my family and loved, spoiled like my children. They are a source of comfort, affection, love and so much happiness in my life, that I can't imagine them not being here. I tripped upon this amazing, wonderful, generous bunch of designers, organizer, human beings! Project Fur Japan. Go and see for yourself, the amazing donations that you can purchase to help support the animals affected by the earthquake in Japan. Yes it is so important to donate to help the people in Japan but it is just as important to help the now thousands of homeless and injured animals find the medical care, housing and food they so desperately need now. Also to have them reunited with their families after this tragedy can bring some hope, affection, pet therapy much needed to help people with their healing process. In this time of total loss and devastation, humans often turn to the animals they love for some relief and comfort. They need a voice too, one that they don't have and Project Fur Japan has stepped up to be that voice so please go visit, shop, donate to help this very worthy cause! This started April 2nd and will be on until the 23rd I believe. Blazin Aubret and her wonderful team organizing and advocating for this tirelessly, you can read more about this heartfelt project at: http://projectfurjapan.wordpress.com I encourage you to go to the site and the sim! Thank you so much Blazin, Project Fur Team and all you wonderful Designers, who have not only given designs, some have also made huge monetary donations as well, and contributors that have selflessly become the voice of the beloved pets and animals in need.

Then the gorgeous sheer silk skirt, trimmed with beautiful lace flowers that gracefully trickle to the ground completing this luscious gown.

I needed to zoom in close so you can see the very detailed sculpted petals with their blending shades of lavender and the way the sit. This must have taken hours just to create this portion of the gown. You can also see the details in the bodice and almost feel the boning that would hold up the gown. It looks like rays of light are moving through the sheer skirt as well. So ravishing! Blossoms comes in Aqua, Lavender, Noir, Peach and Snow.

You can wear this dazzling gown with or without the flower prim skirt and bolero, as you can see both ways are fabulous. This way is softly elegant. The skirt moves like a dream, swirling and falling slowly back into place, its so lovely to watch. I completed my look with hair from PurpleMoon called Daz in Chocolate, Son!a Jewelry called Freeda diamond and the bracelet is Autumn in silver 2 rows and Stiletto Moody's Bare Katherine in White.

AZUL - Sakura

Another stunning design from Mami Jewell of Azul. This one named Sakura was also worn for the MVW pageant by Blossoms Sweetwater, Miss China for her National Costume. I chose the Jade version of the gown, the luscious color caught my attention and just looked so spring with the promise of all the green trees, grass. The gown is a pear white straight cut strapless, with the beautiful jade Obi around the waist trimmed with a long gold bow. The sensational long coat made with layers of the sheer green and Asian patterned silk, fit perfectly, its high collar, sculpted ornamental shoulders and long wrapped and flowing sleeves, elegantly draping the arms.

Close up you can see the incredible detailed patterning in the outfit, the lush greens complimenting the jade and the perfect collar flowing behind. You can wear this gown with a long coat or a shorter one, it looks amazing with either! The colors are so beautiful and they really add to the superior design.

The Gown can be worn with just the Obi and gold bow, giving the white a punch of gorgeous color and elegance that could be worn to any formal occasion. I styled this with Luck from Earthstone, a very simple color change necklace and earring set. My hair is from Tukinowagama and is called Francesca in Ebony also with color change hair ornament. My shoes are Bare Katherine in White by Stiletto Moody. Sakura comes in several bold, beautiful colors, Amethyst, Jade, Garnet, Onyx, Sapphire and Topaz.

PURPLEMOON - Mystery

The new Purplemoon design, Mystery, is such a beautiful Vintage piece! By now you all know I love Vintage!!! This dress is so my style and is so reminiscent of what you would have seen on Hollywood starlets of the past. Poulet creates incredible designs that have a vintage modern style, I love how she can combine the two elements to make her designs so unique and fabulous! She also uses the most beautiful reds, this one called Cherry is so deep but has that glossy shiny element that just makes the black lace overlay pop and adds a bit of elegant drama to this incredible mermaid cut gown. The feather stole finishes off this piece with flair and glamor and is available in faded pink, green, white and black.

I styled my look with Pearl Rain in Onyx from Mandala as it too has that combination classic vintage with a modern touch. and with PurpleMoon's Zoe in earth tones, I love the way this style frames the face and it can be worn with the accompanying hair sticks to give it a little Asian flair!

PurpleMoon's 6000 Member's gift, a very lovely and classic variation of Mystery. I love the way Poulet made this version, from the tight fighting gown to the shorter and feathered bottom, long lace sleeves and collar. It is absolutely stunning and could really be worn for any occasion. I could really see a modern Sophia Loren in this look, I say modern because she was know for her love of hats but I think the modern version of a young Sophia would like amazing hair and may forgo some of her hats for different and unique hair styles. Poulet absolutely spoils her group members with amazing creative gifts! Thank you Poulet for spoiling us! We love what you design!

I styled my look with Gems and Kisses high collar Victoria in black and platinum, matching earrings and black snake bracelets. The hair, one of my PM faves and is called Rei and the shoes are called "Classic Stiletto" from N-core. If you are not a member of PurpleMoon what are you waiting for? It's only 50L to join and you get great fashion, excellent perks and will always be stylish!

ALAFOLIE - Miss Philippines V2

This gorgeous sequined and sparkled gown was created by the incredible Pixivor Allen of AlaFolie for the lovely MVW's Fuzz Lennie, Miss Philippines. The gown is absolutely stunning from its form fitting sequined spaghetti strapped low cut top to the perfectly flared bottom. Accentuated by incredible gold flower, with cascading leaves appliques on the shoulder, waist and one for your hair. The beautiful sheer fabric covered with sequins adds so much shine to the gown, making it so breathtaking and unique.

The gown can be worn with or without the shoulder accents and comes in 3 versions, this being version 2 the formal, then there is the cocktail length and the mini. Really you could wear them anywhere and stand out from the crowd in any version of this must have design from AlaFolie

ALAFOLIE - MICA

Another stunning design from Pixivor Allen of AlaFolie called Mica. This spun gold enchanter is soft in color but bold in style! The strapless tight fitting bodice accented with fur and fur stole, down to the gorgeous layered flair skirt with lace crinoline keeping the shape is amazing and moves like a dream while showing off your gorgeous legs.

The dress can be work with out the fur stole and is so elegant either way. It comes with matching necklace, earrings, bracelet and shoes, a real bargain and could be worn to almost any event. You will definitely be the Belle of the ball in the lovely Mica. Pixivor has delivered a ravishing creation that has a touch of vintage glamor.

MOREA STYLE - Nolween in Black and White

Nolween in Black and White is the latest from the inspirational Morea Decosta of Morea Style. I have long been a big fan of Morea Style. There is always something amazing to be seen from Morea, whether its glamorous gown, casual chic fashions or fun, flirty clothing! This new outfit Nolween, can be added to Casual Chic. The stylish ruffle collared black silky bolero with the elbow length sleeves and it beautifully detailed halter strapped tight fitting bodice and open skirting, gracefully closed with a silky black bow and done with lovely white feather like lace and sheer black lace, that's skirt elegantly drapes over your hips, to the skinny silky black pants that fall and gather slightly at the ankle.

Nolween comes with this lovely matching black hand bag and can be dressed up with simple jewelry like some pearl rain bracelets from Mandala and I added a bit of a vintage touch with the lovely Parisian hair from Plume. Anyway you dress it up, Nolween is a sublime outfit from Morea Style and a wardrobe must have!

AZUL - Louise in Turquoise

This amazing gown comes to us created by the incredibly talented Mami Jewell for the Miss Virtual World 2011 Pageant and was worn in a glorious Ruby by the lovely first runner up, Louise McWinnie, I really couldn't take my eyes off of the gown and how lovely it is. It was recently released in a bevy of amazing colors and I chose to blog the turquoise. This color reminds me of spring, after a long winter, this deep radiant color gives a spark of light to the fashions of the spring. The gown is incredible in design, the bodice off the shoulder and open like a flower with perfectly sculpted petals that curve at the top and curl blooming with silken grace. The dress is hip hugging until you get to the rich silk layers on the hip cascade down like petals and fall into the flared skirt that flows and moves gracefully with every step. The dress is finished with silken turquoise gloves that add the last bit of elegance to this amazing dress. Another winner for Azul! It comes in several rich beautiful colors, Amethyst, Champagne, Onyx, Garnet, Ruby and Turquoise. With gowns like this the spring and summer fashions from Azul are going to be colorful and fantastic, I will be the first in line to see what is next!

I chose not to accessorise this gown because I wanted to show off the elegance. It could have some small dark pearls or simple diamonds to just add to the beauty. My hair is from Damselfly and the skin is LAQ.

FELLINI COUTURE - Checkmate

The latest Avant Garde original from Fellini Couture called Checkmate. I was in awe with this as soon as I saw it! Such an original concept! This artistic gown reminds me of Alice and wonderland! Anytime the mad hatter could come for tea and the rabbit will be running in circles with his pocket watch and the queen of hearts completely jealous by this beautiful gown demanding your head! I love how Joy sculpted Checkmates exquisite bell shaped skirt with points on the bottom that look like an upside down tulip with a chess board and intricate chess pieces ready to be played. Adding elegance is the strapless heart shaped top and silky black gloves with a flared cuff just over the bend of the elbow.

The sculpted black and white hat and ornament at the waist are the magnificent! The layers of fabric melded together with the curls of gold, silver and black, jetting out and accessorized with small chess pieces. The lovely design at the waist is ornate and whimsical, only drawing your attention long enough to figure out what your next move will be! This fun and imaginative couture is the start of a wonderful season for Fellini Couture, I can't wait to see what comes next! My hair is from W&Y's Model hair collection and the skin is LAQ.

PURPLEMOON - Eve

Another incredible flower inspired gown, This one is called Eve from PurpleMoon. I have to say I have really fallen in love with PurpleMoon and the designs of Poulet Koenkamp, I love how everything she makes has that element of vintage glamor with a hint of modern glamor. This delicate green strapless is so elegant with its sheer green fabric layered over a light green satin. The intricate sculpted flowers on the hips are so detailed and and short petaled skirt that is worn alone or with the longer skirt that gracefully touches the floor. The exquisite scarf wrapped around the neck with the sculpted flower and white sparkled netting, adding to the beauty. The tight fitting gloves with the light feather trim. Really absolutely gorgeous.

As you can see the dress is absolutely stunning long or short, the incredible detail in the short skirt is seen here and is almost pixie like in its style but so refined that it could be worn for almost any occasion. Poulet is so creative, this is a definite must have! The hair is a great match and is from W&Y Model's collection and is color change. The skin is LAQ.

I will be adding more to this blog this week and featuring the fabulous Lillou Merlin of Lillou
