I guess it was my sheer luck that my computer decided to break down in mid-December when I was just getting ready to return back to Second Life.  I always wonder why some things just have to happen as if it chose the worst timing ever.  😦  And with the year-end/new year holidays, which is really big in my country, coming up, there was no way I could get my PC back before the new year.

So what I’m trying to say is….I missed watching Miss Virtual World last year!

But Enzo Champagne of Champagne! Sparking Couture sent me the amazing gown he created for Miss China 2014 called DRAGON, which was exactly what I needed having just come back and didn’t have time to go shopping yet.  Thanks to Enzo, I was able to get right back into modeling mode and totally enjoyed styling this fabulous gown.

The skin I’m using is the Shui skin from Elysium, which Aleida Rhode made for Asian avatars and it just seemed to be exactly the right skin to use with this gown.  Needless to say, I am very happy with the results too.  🙂

And a friend Japanese creator, Hays Uriza, made the jewelry set I am wearing.  It is a mesh set and comes in gold, silver and copper.  I use this set a lot and I never get tired of it because I just love how it’s simple and yet so impressive and creates a dramatic effect.  Again, just right for a dramatic gown like this Dragon.  I will just add that the necklace can be size adjusted in all 3 dimensions so it is very easy to get a right fit for any size avatar.

Classic Elegance & Beauty, “Dotia” by Tres Beau

Posted on by

Tres Beau has a beautiful new dress called “Dotia” which I fell in love with right away.  It is truly a dress that is elegant with a classic style while it has this modern appeal mixed in such an amazing way.

The soft chiffon skirt almost blends into the patterned top with an over-sized ribbon tied on the side, giving this dress the glam it deserves while the ribbon also creates a perfect balance with the wide-brimmed hat that comes with the dress.  I added very short wrist length gloves to the dress as I tend to like short gloves in real life too.  It just shows that short gloves are not just for casual looks as long as it is not heavy leather and instead, made of more delicate material.

For a classic styled dress like this one, I also tend to like wearing classic and traditional pearl strands.  This double stranded pearl necklace is from Virtual Impressions made from the legendary Akoya Pearls which are famed for its luster and shine as the highest of all cultured pearls.  Genuine Akoya Pearls, actually only exist in antique jewelry pieces, however, and can have almost unbelievable prices.  The necklace made my Virtual Impressions is made to give it that aged look which explains the creamy colour of the pearls used.

Sascha’s Designs has a new dress and it’s goooooooorgeous!

Sascha Frangilli, owner and designer of Sascha’s Designs has come up with an absolutely lovely dress for those who love something romantic to wear.

Sascha's Designs, La Seine in Cream

“La Seine” comes in different colours but as always with Sascha’s gowns, you can choose three different skirts, making this a very versatile outfit for your wardrobe.  The set, of course, includes a big long skirt and a slightly shorter skirt with ruffles in the upper part, which I wore here, but you can also choose to wear this outfit as a cocktail dress with a short mini skirt.  The hat I am wearing is also part of the set.

The jewelry set I wore here is a new release from Crystal Line which is colour and texture change.  What I love about this set is that the gem colours are changeable into soft and mellow colours such as the pale pink you see in this picture.

Great Spring/Summer Necklace from Finesmith Jewelry

Finesmith Jewelry "Mediterranean"

Finesmith Jewelry’s creator, yula Finesmith is releasing a series of jewelry that has lovely colours which will be really nice to style with the colourful spring/summer fashion!

I welcome these releases with excitement as I love to style using colours and by thinking what colours will work well together.  These chunky and colourful jewelry items will be a really nice add when I want that colour impact.

Each necklace has a name given that derives from the colour image.  And the one I have in the pic is called “Mediterranean”.  I am sure yula was thinking about the out-of-the-world lovely turquoise hue of colours that the Mediterranean Sea has when she named this.

Forever Yours by My Precious

Agnes Finney's My Precious, Forever Yours

Forever yours…what a romantic phrase this is.  And it’s not just a phrase of words.  It is the name of a new gown that was released by Agnes Finney’s My Precious in February which is, of course, the month of romance.

To style this lovely gown, I used a similarly sweet makeup tattoo that is available from Noya Designs that has a version with a beauty mark and I also used a gorgeous jewelry set from Virtual Impressions that use diamonds and rubies, intertwined into a rich and lovely design motif.

The long awaited Academy Awards have been announced!  And in the current cinema environment where high-tech graphic technology such as CG, VFX and 3D are becoming the norm, a french silent film depicting a relationship of an older silent film star and a rising young actress, The Artist, has won The Best Picture Award!　　The film also won awards for best director, best actor, best original score and costume design.  Wow, I’ll have to see this film!

Watching news of the Academy Award inspired me to create a Red Carpet look and a new gown that was released by Orage Creations with its Italian designer, Elettra Gausman, was the perfect gown I was looking for!

The deep midnight blue, which is one of my favorite colours, gave this gown an elegance that had no match but with added glam brought on by the over-sized ruffle decor that gave spice to an otherwise simple and classic design.

I matched this with a new set of jewelry just released this past weekend by Virtual Impressions, Majestic Jewelry in Diamonds on Platinum.  The rich floral motif of this jewelry set was more than what I was looking for to complete my Red Carpet look.

Now all I need is a handsome man to escort me down the aisle.  Any volunteers?

Gizza - Dark Feather Series II

Gizza’s Dark Feather Series runs from I to IV and here I am introducing Dark Feather Series II.  All four outfits in this series are very cool black outfits with feathers used as ornaments.

Here, I wore it with a plain black leggings and ankle boots from sYs Design.  sYs Design is well known for it’s cyber fashion items but non-cyber fashion can use a lot of what they have too.

I also wore a new jewelry set released by Kunglers from it’s Kungler Extra brand, which is their jewelry line that is sold in another building from their clothes.  The Kungler sisters are really pulling out some interesting jewelry pieces and if you are looking for some pieces with impact, this is definitely a place to check out.

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.

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.
