Tres Beau, November Sable

What is happening to the world?  I watch the news and I see that it’s snowing like crazy in so many countries!  Where I live, it’s been abnormally cold for this time of the year also and people was pulling out their warmest coats and jackets to stay warm.

I wonder if that’s the reason behind this big SL trend surrounding fur.  I am seeing long fur coat, fur jackets, fur hats and all sorts but this is not a bad thing because 1. we can stay warm, 2. fur looks better in recent items and more importantly, 3. no animals are harmed to produce fur in SL!

Tres Beau, Novemeber Sable has LOTS of fur!

Now Kimmera Madison of Tres Beau, in her new collection that was just released, came up with this gorgeous outfit set that comes with a sable jacket with really fluffy fur, a matching fur hat and even matching fur leg warmers!   And this is not all.  You also get pants, shoes, sweater and even gloves in this set.  The only items in this pic that was not included in the set were the sunglasses I am wearing!

So if you want a chic and fashionable casual look with class, this will be a perfect set for you.  Enjoy your SL fur and stay warm!

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!

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!

Tres Beau – Venice

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

"Michigan Avenue" – A Winter Jacket From Tres Beau

Tres Beau has just introduced the “Michigan Avenue”, which is exactly what I wanted for the cold cold winter days. It’s a down feather jacket with fur and comes with a matching hat and leggings in two colours. When I first saw it I screamed and said “omg it’s so cute!”.

Tres Beau – “Michigan Avenue” in pink & white


I am liking it so much that I have been wearing this on and off for the past week and every time I go somewhere, I’ve been receiving IMs either asking me where I got it from or asking me for a landmark to the store. It’s one of those outfits that you just can’t miss.


By the way, we made a very pretty winter scenery where I live and I actually took these pictures at home. Doesn’t this outfit look so perfect in snow? But as the name suggests, it is actually a very nice city wear that can look really nice strolling down the streets of Michigan Avenue in Chicago.


The one I am wearing is the pink/white jacket and the set comes with both white and pink leggings you can choose that come in both pants and underpants layers. This outfit was released together with matching ankle boots that go with it so perfectly. The boots can be worn separately matching it with jeans or a mini dress with leggings and this alone is a must buy for the winter.

Jacket, hat and leggings: Tres Beau, Michigan Avenue (pink/white)
Boots: Tres Beau, Michigan Avenue Pink/white boots
Hair: Waka & Yuki Hair, Model Hair #25
Earrings: Caroline’s Jewelry, Pearl Stud Earrings

A Winter Casual

Posted on by
Reply

I came across a store called “Twisted & Spoiled” during my job as a model and got hooked with this outfit set which I am wearing a lot lately when I spend those easy days with no parties and no special occasions where I have to dress up.

The set is called “Snuggle Me In White” and it comes with this sweet knitted cap I am wearing and a pair of knee high socks. I have to admit, I didn’t buy this set as it was given to me for an event in which I had to model wearing this, but I liked it so much that I decided to tp to this store with the LM that was in the folder.

There I found these lovely pair of boots. It comes in a black pair and a white pair and of course, I had to buy both. But this had been one of my best decisions because since then, both the black and the white pairs have been used so much! They match short skirts, jeans, shorts….almost anything casual and allows me to create a “winter casual look” the moment they rez.

I have a pair of similar boots in RL and I had been loving it as they are so warm and so comfy to walk in. Maybe my love of these RL boots is making me a bit biased but these two pairs of identical boots, aside from the colours, have been my “biggest hits of the season” as far as casual wear is concerned.

Earrings I wore here are also from the same store and colour changing. It has a necklace and bracelet in the set but since I have a high neck collar with this sweater and ruffled sleeves, I only wore the earrings.

I like this all white look also as it reminds me of a winter bunny. 🙂

Outfit: Twisted & Spoiled, Snuggle Me In White
Boots: Twisted & Spoiled, Huntress Boots (White)
Earrings: Twisted & Spoiled, Sweetheart Jewelry Set
Nails: Armidi, (True Enhance) Painted Nails (Apricot II)
Hair: Novocaine Hair, Riko (smoke)
Skin: Beauty Avatar Couture, ISIS Light Skin 10

"Cabaret" Costume From Casa del Shai

Reply

Casa del Shai has released a costume that was worn by lead actress, Liza Minnelli, in a 1972 movie, “Cabaret.” The signature bowler hat look is revived with awesome texture that comes with the bowler hat in the set. It has a hat with hair (worn here) and also one without hair in the set.

Along with this set, the bowler hat with different coloured ribbons, was also released which can be purchased for a vendor placed right close to the costume vendor. So if you like the hat and want to match it with some other outfit you have, you can purchase the bowler hat alone.

For shoes, I used the new Styles of edo pumps that have an impression shine and very nice shape. In SL, there are many nice and decorative shoes but it’s not easy to find good shaped shoes that are not only good looking but simple. With this look, however, I wanted something very simple so this pair was perfect!

This could be a nice outfit for dancers who work in clubs too. Look sexy and stylish!



Outfit (includes hat, hair & stockings): Casa del Shai, Mein Herr Full Costume

Shoes: Styles of edo, EIRIS Straight-Strap-pointed-pumps (black)
