Happy New Year!  It’s 2012 and this is my 1st blog post for this year.  🙂  I wish this will be a blessed and better year for all.

And for my very first post this year, I wanted to introduce Bliss Couture‘s “Fur Coat/Sequin Gown (New Year Edition)” which has just been released.  It’s a limited colour fur coat but omg I am absolutely loving this colour!!  Bliss Couture has been releasing a lot of seasonal limited editions since last Christmas and a lot of them are items you don’t want to pass out on.

 Bliss Couture – Fur Coat/Sequin Gown (New Year Edition)

This release is a very elegant powder pink fur coat worn over a silver sequin gown which makes an amazing winter formal look.  Of course, you can wear the coat over other outfits as it uses the jacket layer, or wear the sequin gown without the coat.  The coat will look great worn over casual clothes as well.  The matching gloves I am wearing comes with the set.

Here I wore this with a Bliss Couture “Sasii Hat” in white and a lovely makeup tattoo from VoguE.  This makeup will come with only the eye tattoo and one with lipstick as well which is the one I am wearing here.  The earrings worn here are also a new release from Mandala.

This fur coat and gown set is a new year limited release so run before it’s too late!

VoguE – Steffi Gown

I know some countries have Boxing Day, but now that Christmas is over, I am finally finding some time to post about a beautiful gown from VoguE.  I had taken pictures of these about 2 weeks ago, but I had something that happened in RL that got in the way and I wasn’t able to post them earlier.

This is a gown that was released from VoguE very recently and I loved the graduation of the two colours on the skirt.  Zalyn Bailey, who is the owner and the designer of VoguE, has prepared many colour variations which all have this feature with different colour combinations.  And the all-ruffled top is just so cute!

I also liked how it has this skirt that is completely long from the back and side views, and yet, when you look at it from the front, it looks like a sexy mini dress.

VoguE – Steffi Gown (Royal Blue)

VoguE also has a series of Glitter Makeup in tattoo layers which I am totally in love with.  Although it’s called “Glitter Makeup”, it’s not too glittery and each glitter eye-shadow colour comes with 4 different shades of lipstick, which makes it very “easy to use.”

Orage Creation New Release – Sexy Rhi

Orage Creations by the Italian designer Elettra Gausman has a new release called “Sexy Rhi” which was inspired by a real life dress made by Stella McCartney that was worn by the British R&B vocalist, Rhianna.

It is a very sexy all-lace mermaid gown that is all open on one side revealing the entire body!  And the SL version comes with a sculpty skirt prim that works great with photo shoots as well as a flexi prim version which looks better when you need to walk.  Here, I am using the sculpty skirt prim.

I matched this with a jewelry set from “Jewelry by Zuri” which is a brand BLVD Agency, where I am CEO, did a show for on the BLVD Agency Runway.  This set comes with a choker as well as a chained necklace which can be used together or separately.  Here I wore both the choker and the necklace.

For my makeup, I emphasized the eye makeup, using a cats eye eye shadow with pale nude coloured lips for a more couture look.

New Releases from Two Sister Treasures, AZUL and Bliss Couture!

Today I am going to introduce a new jewelry set from Two Sister Treasures which is currently sold as part of Edition 12 at the Fan Limited Store for half regular price for a limited number.  Aaaaaand, I also have two fantastic releases from AZUL and Bliss Couture!

The first is a jewelry set called “Mostly Dangerous Necklace Set” which is the set that is now on sale in the Fan Limited Store for a promotional price.  After the limited number is sold out, it will be sold in the main store of Twin Sister Treasures but the price will go up to its regular price.  So if you like it, now is the chance!  Run!  Run!

This is a very unique set of jewelry that was perfect for the newly released gown from Bliss Couture called “Devine Gown” which I wore in black here.  The gold and the green in the jewelry pieces matched the black colour of the gown and I also liked the modern design of the set on a classic lace.

Bliss Couture – Devine Gown in Noir

The next set is a set I found in the main store of Two Sister Treasures called “Butterfly Necklace, Earrings, Bangles and Stone Ring” and I styled this with another amazing gown released by AZUL called “Naomi” which I wore in Onyx colour here.  I loved how the relative slender line of the AZUL gown matched with the relatively detailed design of the jewelry set as well as the bright colours.

Tres Beau – Venice

Posted on by
Reply

Tres Beau has a new outfit released called “Venice” which I fell in love with at first sight.  I am thinking the name “Venice” came from the Carnival of Venice which had made Venice so famous, where participants wear amazingly artistic masks and costumes.  So as you can imagine, this outfit is such a fun outfit to wear and so different from any other outfit I have seen.

 Tres Beau – Venice

The outfit itself can be worn as a gown and also as a short mini dress.  Here, I wore it as a gown.  It comes with gloves that are decorated with rich red ruffles around the wrist as well as the ankle boots you can see here in the picture.  Along with that, you also get a simple mask, a mask with feather decoration, a top hat with feathers and a top hat with feathers and a face net from which you can choose what to wear with the outfit.

So not only is it a fun and stunning outfit, it allows for a variety of styling.  Here, I wore a mask with feathers but attached a pic of the top hat with feathers and net below.  All I had to add was a choker, earrings, and of course hair.  The rest was given in the set.



 
 I’ve never been to the Carnival of Venice myself but this is one carnival I would love to go to.  I heard that masks were originally worn so that people could enjoy the carnival without worrying about social status or class.  What a wonderful concept!  In 2012, the Carnival of Venice will be held on February 4 and 5.  I bet you it’s too late to book hotels already.  *sigh*  I’m always too late to act.  Maybe 2013?

Dress: Tres Beau, Venice
Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings: Morantique Lush, Milano Pearls Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet

Siryelle’s Dream Fashion

I came across a really fab store called Siryelle’s Dream which was a store I visited for the first time.  The designer, Siryelle Yalin, impressed me a lot with her very delicate designs and lovely texture.

Two new gowns were just released when I visited and I decided to buy one of the new released dresses but also one more that was not a new release but a gown that caught my eyes.  The two were so different but both very unique and great designs.

The new release, “Lady Dark“, is a boudoir type gown and I absolutely loved this outfit colour.  This gown can be worn as a gown or as a lingerie dress with a garter and stockings.  What’s unusual about this outfit is that it comes with this hair I am wearing here as part of the set.

And the next one, “Orange Delight Gown“, was not a new release but nevertheless a really lovely gown.  It comes with a black top and also a matching orange top so you have an option for the top and it also comes with this lovely hat.  The flowers you see in the picture are attached to the hat and works as a great accent to this rather simple but impactful gown..

Siryelle also has some lovely boots that match her outfits which, of course, can be used with other dresses so check the store out if you haven’t yet!

The necklace and earrings I am wearing here are both from “Fairy Tale” which is a Japanese store that just had a renewal opening of the store.  The creator, xxxriexxx Serevi is one of my models in Dione Fashion Agency, but she had been a jewelry creator before she even started to model.  This jewelry set is her new release which she prepared for the renewal of her store and also has a matching circlet which I am not wearing here.  I loved this very unique design which I thought was perfect for this gown with a modern design.

Getting Ready For Christmas! – Fellini Couture

Posted on by
Reply

When I saw the photograph of this new release for Christmas from Fellini Couture on November 24th, I just had to get it! Teddy bears!! So I teleported right away to grab Joy Fellini’s new Christmas gown that was simply called Christmas Gown.

Unfortunately, it’s becoming very difficult for me to style, takes photographs and post a blog all on the same day but I still love to blog whenever I see something I really like. So it’s already 6 days past from the release day but here it is!

Fellini Couture – Christmas Gown


This was the cutest and most glamorous Christmas outfit I had ever seen. It comes with this elaborate head piece with lots of Christmas tree ornaments hanging from it and as you can see in the photographs, it has teddy bears holding presents, more Christmas ornaments and ribbons attached to the skirt part. The teddy bears all wear Christmas caps and they are simply adorable!

Here I wore a different skin than my usual skin from Lionskins. It’s one of the skins from the NOVA skin series and I loved how it gives me a very innocent look without looking too childish.

The hair I am wearing is also a new release from Tukinowaguma called Satomi that has a these sharp cut bangs and side hair giving it a very Japanese look. It comes with flower ornaments in several different colours but here I wore it without the flowers. This hair can be a great hair to wear with relatively casual kimonos too (in other words, kimonos that are not Oiran kimonos or any of those elaborate ones).

Yay! I’m all ready for Christmas! All I need are lots of prezzies coming my way. 😛

Gown: Fellini Couture, Christmas Gown
Jewelry: Alienbear Design, Silvester White Set
Nails: Candy Nail, #P034 Hime White
Hair: Tukinowaguma Hair Style, Satomi without the flower ornament (ebony)
Skin: Lionskins, NOVA Fair 5

QUEENS – Katerina: An Impressive Gown

Posted on by
1

The very first time I wore anything from QUEENS was when I was in a half panic, not knowing what to wear, only 30 minutes before the start of the finals for Mr. Virtual World that was held on June 6. I was running out of time and I had no idea what I should wear nor had I anything styled.

So out of desperation, I decided to teleport to a new store I had never yet visited. That was QUEENS, a relatively new brand which I had always wanted to visit but hadn’t yet found any time to go shopping.

QUEENS was a very elegant store with lots of very attractive outfits. It had a lot of gorgeous gowns as well as some very dressy cocktail dresses. Since that day, this is still my second QUEENS gown which my beloved partner Aris sent to me a few days ago.

Katerina is a gown that has a very big skirt that is all lace. The bodice part uses both lace and solid fabric with a very elegant cut which was almost fresh to the eye that has grown accustomed to the very revealing and bold cuts that you see often in the market.




I decided to style this to make a very classic and authentic look and matched it with a diamond jewelry set from Virtual Impressions. Red nails and lip colour add the finishing touch to this classic elegance.

Gown: QUEENS, Katerina
Jewelry: Virtual Impressions, Cheryl Jewelry Set in Platinum & Diamonds
Nails: Candy Nail, #P006 Long Nails Red
Hair: BooN, XFE275 Hair (Black)
