RFYre “Whyte” Full Bridal Version With Laced Ankle Boots

Posted on by

Right before Mr. Virtual World, Raven Pennyfeather of RFyre released two very unique bridal sets in white and in black.  I immediately took pictures of both but since then, had become so busy that I had to leave my blog unattended for this long.  *sigh*

But here it is.  The white version called “RFyre Whyte” which is a very avant-garde design as a bridal wear but can easily be worn as a non-bridal outfit and still look very cool.

This is actually a balloon pants set with an asymmetrical skirt and a veil type head-piece which can be removed.  Strings of beads fall from the all-lace balloon pants and move with avatar movement, which make this a really nice outfit to go club dancing also.

I wore this with a jewelry set from Virtual Impressions that has a very simple but chic design which I thought matched the modern pattern of the lace used.

If you want to see the black version, I have posted it in the BOSL Fashion Feed.

Sascha’s Designs, “Purity” Styled In Two Directions

Posted on by

Sascha's Designs, Purity

Sascha Frangilli, designer and owner of Sascha’s Designs, has just released two gorgeous gowns.  One white, called “Purity” and another black called “Tainted“.  Like most of her gowns, Sascha has included so many outfits parts that allow infinite styling possibilities.  She even includes three different pants layers and five different skirt shapes.  For the price you pay, which is very reasonable to begin with, this is so much value for your money!

Instead of blogging both gowns, I decided to try two totally different styling using the different outfit parts in the Purity set.  So here they are.

For the first look, I used the ‘split pants’ and ‘hip split swirl’ which is a half skirt that attached to the right leg, leaving the left leg bare.  I also tried a slightly fantasy look.  The Exile hairbase that I used here is an excellent hairbase set to have in your inventory as you can get a whole fatpack of different coloured hairbases for free at the Exile store.  You will find the vendor placed right in front where the new released hairs are sold.

And for the second look, I used the ‘full pants layer’, ‘skirt layer’, ‘fluffer skirt’ and ‘big collar’ in the Purity set.  The parts called ‘big collar’ is the elaborate bust hem and shoulder piece that you see in the pic below.

I took another shot just to show another top arrangement that the set allows.  Here I used a ‘stola’ instead of the ‘big collar.’  Actually the possibility is just too many and the blog post will end up way too long if I tried to show all.  But at least this will give you a glimpse of the variety of styling that is possible.

A Glimpse of RL Fashion…for SL. “Christian Dior Spring 2012 Couture Collection”

Posted on by

After the unfortunate and sad departure of John Galliano from Christian Dior, there are still a lot of talks about where the house is going with Bill Gaytten, who, in my opinion, must have such pressure taking over this mega-brand with so much hype.  His ready-to-wear collections have so far been received with so-so reviews and I must agree that they didn’t really impress me too much.

But his Couture line for the spring of 2012 was fabulous!  Although I do admit, I still miss John Galliano and his genius talent to perceive beautiful and spectacular fashion that was almost theatrical.

I know the fashion world in RL is already talking about 2012-2013 but the regular mortals such as us, we are more concerned about this coming spring!  So I decided to take up some favorites from Christian Dior’s Spring 2012 Couture line under Bill Gaytten as some of this collection definitely looks like something we can wear in SL!

The whole collection looks like a back-to-50’s type silhouette but with contemporary elements added for today.  Very elegant, fun and chic!  Definitely something I like!  So let’s see some pics from Gaytten‘s past collection for this coming spring.

Now doesn’t the poofy gowns look like something we have lots in SL?  And by presenting this, I am hoping that some talented SL designer will provide us with outfits that we can enjoy wearing in SL too!  *winks*

Meiling New Release! Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress

Meiling, Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress

Meiling, a very popular designer in RL who originated from the Caribbean, is bringing her RL spring/summer collection into SL again!  The Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress is one from this collection and so cool that I seriously want it in RL!  I would so wear this for real!

Meiling, Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress

It’s a very simple shirt dress but crisp and clean using natural fabric.  It is, however, a very avant-garde design with two huge pockets that make this dress so high fashion.  And this simplicity makes this a very versatile design to style!

Here I styled it using blue accessories with blue as the point colour.  But you can do this using any colour and of course, you can make it all white too.

Meiling, Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress

Wedge shoes with spikes from Gok in blue were a perfect match for this high fashion design and here, in order not to destroy the crisp and clean look, I used a men’s hair and makeup that uses very pale colours in hue of grey.

Clean makeup and the use of men's hair give this a very clean and sharp image.

A Brand New Store From The Designer Of Sweetest Goodbye!

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!

A high fashion casual look created using monso's My Yagu Jacket

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!

Diram Has A New Collection Out! – GAGALICIOUS

Posted on by

djod Karu of Diram has just released her new collection which she calls “GAGALICIOUS“.  It consists of 6 fabulously smexy outfits which includes one gown which is unusual for Diram.  But it didn’t turn out to be just another sweet and pretty gown.  It is elegant and smexy but yet keeps the fierce and cool image that Diram designs have always been known for.

So here I have two outfits from this 6 outfit collection.  Lady Gaga – MTV, which is the gown and Lady Gaga – Judas, which is another sexy and fierce outfit that I so love Diram for.

djod, congratulations on another great collection!

DIRAM – Lady Gaga “MTV”

This gown has fierce looking pointy studs attached to the bust line and the skirt shape is just gorgeous!  Here I used the new hair, Lexington, from Vanity Hair and the new jewelry set from Chop Zuey that was so perfect for this gown with the black and white diamonds used to create a black and white design.

And the second outfit, Judas, is my other fav.  What I liked the most was the red lining of this studded short jacket which looks so cool!  So I styled it with red boots and jewelry both from Pixel Fashion and glitter makeup from VoguE.  The boots come with a colour change feature where you can change the colour to red, dark red (used here), orange and yellow.

DIRAM – Lady Gaga “Judas”

The bandana that is tied around my head comes as part of the Judas set.  And I used a red tinted hair from Tukinowaguma to play with the red.
