Spring Is (Almost) Here! Spring Casual Look With Mon Tissu

2014.3.2 mon tissu spring look_002

It’s still cold outside on most days but recently I am noticing that on some sunny days, the temperature is not as low as it had been and we get spasms of warmer weather.  We are not there yet but spring is definitely coming closer!

Today, it was one of those nice sunny days and I decided to take my pet owl out to the park after I have done my rounds with my dogs.  He is still only six months old and he is getting used to my dogs but still not quite comfortable when they get too close.  So I still have to take them out separately just so that my owl doesn’t get too nervous with the excited dogs.  He is a tiny owl and won’t grow any bigger and it’s really funny to watch him go very thin when he sees a big dog such as a Labrador or a Golden Retriever because he is afraid but when he sees small dogs like Chiwawas, he spreads his wings out as much as he can, opens his already big eyes even bigger and tries to threaten the Chiwawas, who usually don’t even care that my tiny owl is doing his best to scare them.

With spring so close, I just felt like getting my wardrobe ready for the pleasant season also so I dropped by at one of the stores I liked very much for high quality casual fashion, mon tissu.  The store had many outfits that got my attention but for today, I decided that I wanted to style with lots of flowers!  So I made a look using lots of pretty spring colours and lots of flowers to celebrate the arrival of my favorite season.

I am hoping that very soon, I will be able to go to the park with all four of us (me, two dogs and my owl) wearing something similarly fun. 🙂

Business In Style – Glam Dreams, Coco Black Suit

2014.2.28 Glam Dream Coco Black Suit_002

In real life, I rarely wore what is generally known as business suits for women.  The office environment that surrounded me either allowed relatively free styles or when I worked for MAC cosmetics, we were only allowed to wear black but style was totally free.  Wait, I shouldn’t say “totally” free because one female staff did get banned from working in a department store booth we had when she wore only a black/white scarf twisted between her breasts and tied at the back for her top and a micro-mini short pants that almost revealed her butt cheeks.  *giggles*  So I can’t really say it was “totally” free but compared to most work places, I always had more freedom.

There were times, however, when I had to wear what is loosely called “power suits” which were female business suits that spoke silently to the counterpart that “I am serious and I mean business!”

It is almost refreshing to see such a power suit in SL where a lot of the outfits we see are either flamboyant, extravagant, fun, cute or sexy.  Coco Black Suit from Glam Dreams is exactly that suit that allows us to be serious and stylish at the same time.

I matched it with a delicate and lovely pair of glasses from Crie Style which is a rare store that specializes in glasses and monocles that no other can compare when it comes to detail and creativity.  The glasses are beyond jewelry items when it comes to the fine and minute details which never stops to amaze me.  I have to admit, I will never have the patience to build something like this without losing my mind or pulling out all my hair…or both!

Have You Checked Out The Cool New Jumpsuits From Xanadu?

Xanadu's latest release, Jumpsuits "Kenya"

If not, you must!  I saw this outfit posted by Xanadu on her flickr page where she posted a pic of this outfit as a preview and omg…I fell in love! ❤

So here I am, blogging “one” of the four I now have in my inventory.  Xanadu Damiano released this jumpsuits in so many variation that it made decision making a very hard job.  They vary not only in colour but also in the print design and theme so you can imagine what a headache it was to pick just one!

A spring look using Xanadu's jumpsuit "Kenya"

Did I say retail therapy works to relieve any stress/hunger/irritation/frustration/whatever-symptom-you-may-have?  So here it is, Xanadu Jumpsuit “Kenya“, which is the one with a tiger animal print.  It’s just so cool and yet it can look really stylish!

It comes with a narrow belt that uses the same fabric but here, I wanted to create a spring fashion, so I replaced it with a pale olive-green sash that matched the colour of my hat.  Then completed the look with a yellow bag as an accent and makeup with green eye shadow.

A fun make up using green eye shadow

But of course you can wear this without any changes also.  Both the top and bottom are mesh so you will need Linden Lab’s official Viewer 2 or any third-party viewers available that works with mesh to see it.

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!

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!

Fun And Exciting New Pants From Sascha’s Designs

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

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.

So I am going to be introducing 2 of her newest releases today.

One is an absolutely stunning cocktail dress called Alix dress.  It’s a very elegant dress with a tight fit using lace for the entire outfit.  The big ruffled sleeves add glamour and movement to the outfit.  The back view is very elegant and yet sexy too with a slit up the center of the skirt.

VoguE – Alix Dress in Onyx

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!

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.

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!
