New Dress Release from Bliss Couture – ONE

I have two really nice releases from Bliss Couture.

As part one, I am going to introduce the Kelleness Dress which will be released very soon, if not already, which is a really sexy and cute outfit.  I loved this outfit and ended up wearing this for three days straight during which I received more than several IMs from both people I know as well as passers-by who commented on the outfit saying they loved what I was wearing.

The lace gloves in the pics were included in the set.

Bliss Couture – Kelleness Dress (Noir)

I also fell in love with this hair which is a recent release from LeLutka.

Casual Summer Look

I got this new hair from 69 Hair called Bell 01 that looks really natural and it inspired me to style a nice casual look for the summer season.

I loved this skirt I found in SHINE that was available in some solid colours as well as some patterned textures out of which I chose the Floral 01 style.  This soft flared design is something I would love to wear in real life.  I matched it with a pair of cute red flats with ankle straps and a straw woven tote bag from glow studio.

Some Releases From Gizza – Part 1 "Flower Children II"

I have two recent releases from Gizza and part 1 is Flower Children II.
The name, Flower Children comes from the hippie fashion that prevailed in the 1960’s when the Unites States was involved in the Vietnamese War.  The hippie movement started in San Francisco where young people wearing outfits in bright colours often with flower patterns, wore flowers in their hair and handed out flowers to passers by promoting Love & Peace.  This later spread to many other cities in the US and these young people were often called the “flower children”.  This hippie fashion later spread to other countries and became one specific fashion trend.
 Gizza – Flower Children II
 
This outfit by Gizza takes its name from the hippie fashion look it is based on and comes in three different colour variations.   I wore the second colour variation in brown/blue colours with a hair that wasn’t exactly hippie style but something that looked as innocent and sweet from the Japanese hair store 69 called Olivia 03.  The ribbon in this hair is colour change by a menu that drops down when you click on it.
The jewelry set is from ByKay and it is available in three different colour variations.  You can also buy a prim nail set that matches the colours of this jewelry set and contains prim nails with and without rings.  I love the chunky design of this jewelry set and it is definitely one of my favorites.

The sandals are from Kalnins and comes with a HUD that allows the different parts to change colours as well as the skin and pedicure colour.  By specifying colours of each part, you can create your own design and it’s really convenient as well as fun.

This is a really fun casual outfit set that is also fun to style!
Outfit set:  Gizza, Flower Children II
Hair:  69, Olivia 03, Noir
Jewelry & prim nails:  ByKay, Kalya Blue Set
Sandals:  Kalnins Shoes, Empress

Focusing On A Favorite Jewelry Piece…

I love jewelry that add colour which is probably why I tend to prefer jewelry pieces that are not just diamonds. If I need something white, I tend to like pearls more than diamonds because it’s less invasive, less “loud”, more elegant. BUT there are also times when I want the look to focus on an interesting piece of jewelry.

This was exactly one of those days.

ByKay – Kalya Blue Set


The necklace and earring set from ByKay by Kayleigh McMillan was absolutely lovely. It comes in 3 different colours, blue, green and olive plus a group only colour of red & orange but I instantly fell in love with the one called “Kalya – blue set“. The turquoise blue was so pretty, I was inspired to style something that would focus on the necklace and came up with something very simple but stylish.


The sunglasses I am wearing is one of my favorite sunglasses because it looks so real and has a very nice shape. It comes with a HUD that allows you to change the frame colour to three different colours and each frame colour has a set of different coloured lenses that you can choose from. It’s surprising that this pair of sunglasses was made by a shoes brand creator, Hays Uriza of Haysuriza.


The high waist of this pants set helps make this look elegant and the black and white tube top has just enough details to not interfere with the necklace. Unfortunately, I just found out today that the store where I got this pants set had just closed. The designer of this outfit, Janie Marlowe, says in her profile that she will open another store with a new brand and a new set up, so I am already looking forward to her future store.

Jewelry: ByKay, Kalya blue set
Pants & tube top set: Mischief Fashions, For Her Pleasure*
Hair band: glow Studio, Midnight Crow Crown (black)
Sunglasses: Haysuriza, Glasses Michelle with HUD
Hair: Pocket Mirror, Ethel Updo (onyx)
Shoes: Maitreya, Slinky Stiletto (black)

*Mischief Fashions regrettably has just closed its doors but the designer says she will be launching a new brand.

Last Minute Valentine Gift Ideas

You’re still looking for that Valentine’s Day gift? And you still can’t think of a good one?

Well I have some ideas…..I’m not going to say they are the best in SL because I can’t possible go to all the stores in SL to rank them. But I am pretty sure, they are nice gifts you might want to consider.

The first one is a pair ring from ROZOREGALIA. One for yourself and the other for your partner, girl friend or boy friend. It comes with ring boxes for both rings and are all transferable (no copy). ROZOREGALIA is one of my favorite stores that has really high quality jewelry with amazing texture and exquisite production quality as you can see from the vendor poster below.

ROZOREGALIACarpe diem No.1 (Platinum/Diamond)

I also made some more suggestions in the February 8th show of Fabulous Fashion TV (my accessories part starts from 24:35 in the video.

Run, run! Valentine’s Day is this coming Sunday!!
