Perfectly Matched New Releases

Posted on August 22, 2008 by Kay Fairey

My best SL friend makes jewelries. No….that’s wrong. She makes a LOT of things and jewelries is only one of such creations compared to me who never seem to learn anything about building aside from fiddling around with some basic shapes.

Anyway, she has a jewelry store called “Golden Flower” and she just came up with a new release called “Catherine Set”, a very bold and modern set of a necklace, bracelet and earrings that would look fab if matched with outfits that had a wide neck/shoulder opening. I had been looking for something like this (alas, I can’t build one myself) and the moment I saw the set, another new release immediately came to my mind.

The “Mosaic” outfit by Mami Jewell of the Styles of edo! (I am sure you could see a light bulb appear above my head at this moment. DING!)

So I immediately dug into my inventory and pull my “Mosaic” out and tried it on with this “Catherine Set”. It’s a bit hard to see in the pics but this “Catherine Set” is a collection of diamond shapes that has an almost metallic shine to it and “Mosaic” uses a unique texture that gives the whole outfit a very metallic look also.

Aha! Perfect!!

“Mosaic” has a delcate scarf that goes around your neck with two strips of the material fall at the back but I was feeling like I wanted something with a little more impact. This llok was exactly what I wanted. Nice!

At this point my friend, Dementia Wylie, says “oh those are colour change btw. So have fun matching them.”

Oooooooooooh. How nice! I sure will have fun!

Outfit: Styles of edo, Mosaic
Jewelry Set: Golden Flower, Catherine Set (necklace, bracelet & earrings)
Hair: Exxess Designs, Nerd (black)

New Releases From Kouse’s Sanctrum

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Kay Fairey

Aside from modeling and blogging, another aspect of Second Life that I enjoy immensely is the free time I spend in a medieval fantasy RP sims of Avilion. So naturally I need gowns that I can wear here but they need to be gowns that are not so modern looking. Kouse’s Sanctum is a store that specializes in gowns that can be worn in Avilion, but that means that they are also gorgeous gowns you can wear anywhere as a formal outfit. If you visit her store, I am sure anybody will be overwelmed by the variety of gowns and colour variations that are available!!

For this new release, Kouse has come up with 10 stunning colours in a gown called Briar Rose. Each of the gowns have a solid coloured underskirt overlaid with a sheer textured skirt in the same colour, giving the gown a romantic image which, together with the ruffle on the sleeves, gives the gowns a very charming and sweet look. The prim skirt attaches slightly low on the waist, showing the feminine curves which was a design feature that I loved so much about this dress.

I must add that each gown has a circlet included in the set as shown in the picture below. This circlet is colour changing by clicking on the circlet which allows you to match the jewelry with your choice of gown colour or even wear it with any other outfit you like!

Just look at the array of colours available. It will be very hard to decide on just one colour but with all the 10 that are available, I am sure almost anybody will be able to find one that will fit her taste.

Briar Rose – Azure

Briar Rose – Blood

Briar Rose – Cotton Candy

Briar Rose – Emerald

Briar Rose – Grape

Briar Rose – Lavender

Briar Rose – Midnight

Briar Rose – Moonbeam

Briar Rose – Ocean

Briar Rose – Sky Blue

Gowns: Kouse’s Sanctum (includes colour changing circlet)
Hair: Laqroki, Champagne

Boyish Sexy From Giusia Creations

Posted on August 13, 2008 by Kay Fairey

Today I wore a boyish lizzard skin outfit from Giusia Creations. It’s so simple and yet the texture of the outfit is stunningly detailed as you can see from the pics I have posted.

Not only that, Giusia Ethaniel, designer and owner of Giusia Creations has given us all layers that can be imagined with and without the necklace you see here. That means you can wear it without the vest (called gilet in the set), without the necklace, vest only or in full like I did today. She even provides a jacket layer that has “everything” on it for all those changing in a hurry or those that want to be lazy without having to give it much thought.

The shirt even separates the waist up part and the lower part that comes out of the pants so you can wear the shirt tucked in if you wish.

So much freedom and so rich in texture!

I wore a skin with very light makeup, going along with the boyish theme. This skin is also her creation and gives me a cool look overall. And for shoes, I wore only the lower parts of a short ankle boots so it won’t interfere with the prim pants parts at the bottom.

Outfit: Giusia Creations, ALESSIA
Boots: Fussy, Sculptie Warmies & Heels (wore only the lower parts)
Skin: Giusia Creations, Light tone #06
Hair: Bishwear, Bobby (black)
Nails: Armidi, (True Enhance) Painted Nails – Cherry III

Baiastice’s New Release

Posted on August 11, 2008 by Kay Fairey

I went to see a fashion show yesterday where I saw many of the new releases from Baiastice that we could look forward to as we approach the fall season. And I have to say, there were so many that I wanted!

Right now, there are two, out of all the new designs, that can be purchased in Sissy’s store and this is one of them. It’s called “Tea at 5 O’Clock”. What a sweet name!

It comes with a long (below knee length) skirt and a short skirt, as well as two different hats. There are also two types of prim collars which you will have to switch as one of them is a double collar and will interfere with the broad brimmed hat.

The outfit has so much details in the texture. It’s white decorated with tiny pink flowers. Perfect for a gorgeous picnic on a sweet and sunny afternoon or a high tea party complete with cucumber sandwiches, scones with strawberry jam and devonshire cream.

The sweet basket I have in the pictures is also a part of the set, adding so much charm.

The harpsicords in the background are all antique French style harpsicords, made with such exquisite details. You can play them yourself or have them auto-play a total of 6 tunes for you from different composers. I heard that all tunes were recorded from real antique harpsicords for these SL versions so what more can you ask! I must say, I am so in love with them!

And these are the two hats that you get with the set.

Outfit and hats: Baiastice, Tea at 5 O’Clock
Shoes: Nonna Hedges, 18th century brocade diamonte
Hair: Truth, Chelsea (black)
Skin: QS ( Quelita Soon) Skin, Milk, Light 002
Nails: Armidi, (True Enhance) Painted Nails – Raspberry I

Harpsicords: Musica Antiqua Shonan
Black harpsicord – French style, columned version
Pale blue harpsicord – French style, Louis XV version
Green harpsicord – French style, Louis XVI version

Lovely Colours from Freda Fashion

Posted on August 8, 2008 by Kay Fairey

I came across this lovely and charming outfit from Freda’s Fine Fashion. I have posted Freda’s outfit recently and I know it hasn’t been long, but I just love the colours she uses. True, sometimes I feel like wearing just black but there are days when I just feel like “I want colours!!”

I had lots of fun with the different skirt lengths she had in the set. All prim skirts come with scripted skirts which you can use to adjust its position when you sit as well as non-scripted skirts for those people who can’t be bothered and prefer to just wear it without the hassle.

Other great colours were available for this outfit too which were all as lovely. So….after going back and forth for god know how long…..unable to make up my mind, I ended up getting this colour as well as the turquoise one in the same design.

I wanted a bit of “cute-ness” to the look, so I matched it up with a sweet platformed pumps from Tesla.

Outfit: Freda’s Fine Fashion, Freda’s mod.064 flowerpattern dress original
Shoes: Tesla, Estella (red)
Necklace: Swallowtail Designs, Jupiter Necklace (green)
Bracelet: Swallowtail Designs, Volume Bracelet (green)
Hair (long skirt): Polished Hair & Polished Jewelry, Forever Obsidian
Hair (short skirt): Uncleweb Studio, Rance (mesh black)

A Cute Summer Casual Look – FTV Military Drama

Posted on August 4, 2008 by Kay Fairey

I love FTV (Frozen Turquoise Valentine)!!!! The range of outfits Valenttina has in her store is astounding….anything from gorgeous gowns to really stylish casual looks! I have to admit, I do tend to have more of the formal outfits but I also enjoy her casual line. They are casual but yet with a touch of difference.

AND…..she has just renewed her store!!! By the way, there is a treasure hunt going on both for men and women so if you haven’t gone down to her new store yet, go now before the hunt ends!

I got this really cute casual set the day I visited her new store. She said she will launch new items soon, so maybe I should have waited but I how could I? So here it is…….Military Drama. What a great name too.

I wanted to give it a bit autumn like look too. Yes, yes, I know it’s still summer but hey, fashionistas are supposed to catch the seasons early, right? And we have to look as if it’s cool outside even if we’re thinking “damn it’s so hot”. So the colour I chose to match was purple. This hair from Bishwear Scandal comes with this cute cap but it’s originally white. So I changed the colour in edit to match it with this above-knee length socks I got at a Japanese store, “sey”. It’s a great pair of socks to wear with boots.

For boots, a dark coloured boots would look way too hot for this season, so I went with these white stompy boots and changed the colour of it’s shoe lace to light blue. It comes with a HUD where you can choose the shoe lace colour from 6 colours. Nice!

The great thing about this outfit is that I think it can be styled to be very dressy too depending on what you match it up with. Maybe I should try that next time just to see how different I can style this. That would be great fun! Oh well, for today, I just didn’t feel like dressing up, so I had my mind set on a casual look even before I wore this. So here it is, the casual version of Military Drama.

Outfit: FTV (Frozen Turquoise Valentine), Military Drama
Above-knee length sock: sey, high sox (purple)
Boots: Shiny Things, Ribbon Boots – white
Hair & cap: Bishwear~Scandal, Chal fat (black)
Nails: Armidi, True Enhance、Painted Nails　(Lavender III)

I Love Hats!

Posted on August 1, 2008 by Kay Fairey

I am sure everybody has textures they like. Some like leopard skin texture (well, I guess a LOT do) and some like zebra, polka dots or simple stripes. In my case, it’s peacock feather. I don’t know why, but I am always fascinated by peacock feather.

So I had this gown from Vanity Affairs for as long as I remember. It’s always been my favorite no matter how many times I wear it!

And today, I came across a wonderful hat shop which I am ashamed to admit, I had never visited before. And I am an avid hat fan!! I am pretty sure I own a lot of, if not most of, the couture hats that exist in SL, and yet I hadn’t visited this one.

It’s called Hatpins and the hats Reghan Straaf designs and creates have such awesome detail that I fell in love the moment I saw her store. Her hats are designed to match more antique style or Victorian style gowns but simply because I probably wear “regular” gowns and dresses more frequently, I decided that I wanted to use her hats with these “non-Victorian” outfits too.

This charming hat is called Lady Isabelle and comes in many colour variations but what is the same with all the colour variation is that they all have three peacock feathers attached to the back of the hat.

Yes PEACOCK!!
So here it is…another exciting way to wear this gown that I have worn in so many different ways.

Reghan has three stores but here, I will embed the surl for her main store where she has all her hats on display. This is a must store to check out for all those fashionistas who like hats!

And of course, the skin used is my fav skin when I want to play with colours, Lion Skins. I just love the colours of eye shadow available!

Gown: Vanity Affairs, Peacock Gown
Hat: Hatpins, Lady Isabelle (Sage and Turquoise)
Shoes: Maitreya and M*A*ii*K*I, Mishima Dawn (Leathers Green)
Earrings: Kouse’s Sanctum, Prelude – Earrings (Gold – colour changing – Emerald)
Skin: Lion Skins, Fair #54
Hair: Magika Hair, Dolly (Black)

Beach Resort Party

Posted on August 1, 2008 by Kay Fairey

OK I admit, I want to go to a beach resort like Hawaii, Bali..where ever! Unfortunately, I don’t have any plans now and I know that it’ll soon be too late to plan anything and summer will be over……

Oh well….at least I’ll pretend I went to a beach resort.

So here is a look for a romantic night by the pool side in a beach resort hotel. I might order some tropical drink and listen to the waves with somebody I love dearly. It was a dress I found at Shouted Couture which was probably not designed for beaches. But look how it can be worn is such a situation.

The whole outfit is sheer lace! I almost felt bare without the prim lace skirt but once you attach the skirt, it turns into a lovely and charming party outfit. And the prim skirt sways beautifully as you dance.

I matched it up with some tropical looking jewelry and a pair of casual sandals that are were not flip flops to give it a bit more dressy feel to it than plain flip flops. Put on some darker toned skin than what I usually wear and I’m all set to go to the poolside.

All I need now is a plane ticket, a hotel reservation and a vacation……*sigh*

Dress: Shouted Couture, Zaphyra　Red Pack 20 Luglio
Necklace: plus, Africa Necklace Bronze
Bangle: RYCA, Texture Change Bangle Gold
Earrings: RYCA, freebie (gold)
Sandals: HUB, Venus Sandals、Cherrie
Hair: Here Comes Trouble, Lillan (black)
