A Brand New Store From The Designer Of Sweetest Goodbye!

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Kay Fairey

monso, My Yagu Jacket in white

I wonder if you remember a store that had really great quality mainly in casual wear called “Sweetest Goodbye”? I was very sad when the owner and designer of this store contacted me to tell me that she decided to close her store due to busy RL.

But she’s back! And not only back, she is coming up with even better quality items that is definitely going to make this store a place you need to watch!

Morphine Janick, once designer of Sweetest Goodbye is back with a brand new store called monso! She cleared out all her creations with her earlier store and has come back with two amazing quality mesh items. The store is still very small with very few items but keep her on your watch list because, I know, she will soon be filling this store with amazing items just like she did with her old store.

So here, I wore her second release, My Yagu Jacket in white. There are five colour variations available and in each folder you buy you will get a variation of sizes raging from XS to XL due to the difficulty of resizing or editing mesh items. Just look at the quality of her texture! Simply amazing!

Here, I also used a pair of shin boots I bought at League some time ago. These are not a new release but I have always treasured this in my inventory because of its flexibility. You can change the colour of these boots to any shade you want and each boot part that make up the boots design is changeable too. In other words, you can practically create your own unique design and match it with what you are wearing.

Welcome back, Morphine! And I’ll be looking forward to seeing some great stuff from you!

Fun And Exciting New Pants From Sascha’s Designs

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Kay Fairey

Sascha's Designs, Paisley Pants Dark #2 Pants & Bliss Couture, Ruffle Coat in Grey

Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s Designs is releasing a very hot and exciting pants series! It’s called “Paisley Pants” and comes in four amazing “dark” colours as well as another four “light” colours, which is eight colours in total!

Obviously the “light” colours tend to have a more spring-like feel but it’s been really cold this winter and a bit of a spring feel is something we can all welcome as long as we are living in countries that have cold winters. For me, it’s been a tough cold winter this year and I am totally in love with the bright colours of these pants to brighten up my day!

Here, I styled one pair of pants from the “dark” series and one more from the “light” series. For the “dark” pants, I styled it with one of the newly released fur bolero jacket from Bliss Couture for a more winter look.

Bliss Couture, Ruffles Coat in Grey

The Ruffle Coat from Bliss Couture that I am wearing also comes in eight colour variations: blue, grey, magenta, noir, olive, pearl, purple and red. With so many colours to choose from, I am sure you will be able to find one, if not more colours, that you like!

These fun and pretty pants are a great way to add some colour to our winter fashion!

Sascha's Designs, Paisley Pants Dark #2

I made the second look using a pair from the “light” colour series. These are very fun to style too as you can easily pick one colour from the pants texture and add that colour as a point colour to your look.

Sascha's Designs, Paisley Light No.3 Pants

Here, I styled it with a shirt from Coco for a more spring look and an amazing bag from Indyra Originals that is colour change in the main leather part and straps that allows up to 729 combinations!

New Releases from VoguE

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Kay Fairey

VoguE has been a brand that is energetically coming up with some fantastic new releases and a brand that I am keeping an eye on. VoguE designer, Zalyn Bailey has also launched her lingerie line as well as some great makeup tattoos this year and is definitely in a big development phase.

And the next one is a nice winter jacket called Tabitha Fur Jacket. Here I am wearing the silver colour version.

It has that class look and this will be a nice jacket to wear over pants or skirt. As it’s sold as a separate, it will be a nice item to have to mix with other outfits. Here I wore it with a cool leather pants from Dela.

The bag I am holding here is not a new release but one I absolutely love and use very often. It comes with a hand-held version shown here as well as a shoulder hung version and I think it’s just simply adorable.

An Amazing Circus Collection from Vero Modero!

Posted on November 19, 2011 by Kay Fairey

Vero Modero recently released the “Circus Collection” which is an incredible collection that is not only unique but extremely fashionable. I was very impressed with how designer Bouquet Babii took the theme of circus and created high fashion designs that can satisfy the taste buds of SL fashionistas.

The collection is quite extensive with many splendid designs but here I am going to show three out of the collection.

The first is a gown called Eda Gown Circus. It comes with the hat and gloves you see here and I fell in love with this stylish hat and short gloves that really add to this lovely gown. Circus horses are running in a circle atop this lovely hat! How cute! There is also a black version available with the same design.

Vero Modero – Eda Gown Circus

The next is “Vero Modero ‘Circus Collection’ – Alii Full Red Female“.　　This is probably the most circus-like outfit of all the collection having its inspiration from outfits of clowns. But Bouquet managed to turn this into a high fashion creation with an amazing sense of style. This comes in three colour versions, red, red/white and white. I added a mask and a pair of Harlequin Boots from Illusions.

And the last is “Vero Modero ‘Circus Collection’ – Helter Set Orange“. This is a more casual mini dress but so fun to wear! The one I am wearing here is the orange version but there is also a red version to choose from.

You can see a lot more in this amazing collection so if you would like to see more, please visit the store and see for yourself what Bouquet has to offer.

Congratulations Bouquet on an amazing collection!

Gizza – Steampunk (Female)

Posted on November 12, 2011 by Kay Fairey

Additional Information:
This outfit is being sold in the Gizza store at Vintage Fair 2011. You can find a map and SURL to all participating brands in this page.

——————————-

Gizza just released a fun outfit for both ladies and gentlemen called “Steampunk“. Here I am wearing the female version of “Steampunk” that comes with a hat, goggle and even a pair of ankle boots!

So all you really need to complete the look is skin and hair. Of course, you can add earrings but with the ruffle in the front and gloves, you really don’t even need any necklace or bracelet.

I loved this colour combination too.

New Release: GizzA, Tricot Set

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Kay Fairey

GizzA Creations’ newest release is called Tricot Set that comes in four colour variations, Ultramarine, Champagne, Olive and Plume.

Here I am wearing Ultramarine which is a very deep blue that can be better described as a deep cobalt blue rather than navy blue. It looks like it’s black here but it is actually a very pretty and very dark blue. It comes with a red leather belt and the red/white scarf with a matching colour corsage.

I decided to style this with a large tote bag and get ready for a fun shopping tour over the weekend. Yay! Retail therapy is always the best!
