Mixing and Matching

Posted on by
Reply

One of the things we do a lot when we style ourselves is mixing and matching different outfits. Of course you do that when you are wearing casual clothing such as a top from one brand and a bottom from another. But more so than ever, we are seeing cases where we need to pull different parts of an outfit from different brands to create one outfit in order to have something unique.

I don’t usually show these “looks” in my blog because it wouldn’t do much for the designers who, I am sure, prefer to see their outfits intact rather than torn apart.

But today, I got a shot of a “look” that I was very happy about. I am not a professional photographer nor do I claim that Iam good since I suck at photoshop skills which means I need to rely a lot on what I can do in-world to make my pics look somewhat ok.

So I decided to post this one as I was rather happy with the outcome.

This was a “look” I made by mixing a mini dress from VUI called “Marbled Little Diva (pink/blue)” with the skirt part from a Gothic wedding gown by Miamai called “Kay”. What I tried here was to create an elegant gown without losing the soft feel of the mini skirt which is why I avoided long skirts that tend to have straight flexi prims. The skirt from this Miamai gown worked perfectly since the prims are not simple straight prims but rather twisted, forming a soft image. The angle at which it spread out was perfect too so the two skirts didn’t look disconnected.

Earrings: Alienbear Design, Kielo Earring white
Shoot location: Immersiva

I admit, I’m a pose whore. When I see new poses, I at least check out most of them although I may not necessarily buy them. Today I am going to show off a new set of poses I just got. The Tandra Set and Tandra Variation Set from Body Talking.

Body Talking has been introducing new poses and sets very energetically recently but the first time I purchased some poses from this store was during Project Tents where Body Talking had a tent. All tent vendors had at least one exclusive item they sold during the charity event and likewise, Body Talking had a set of exclusive poses called the Miaa Set.

So here are some poses from the Tandra Set and Tandra Variation poses. By the way, the Tandra Variation poses are not in the set but you can buy these individually from the demo pose stand. Each pose is L$12o and the Tandra Set is L$900 for 9 poses.

As you may already know, the designers who are supporting our Project Tents effort to collect funds to purchase special tents that will be sent to Haiti have created special exclusive items that can only be purchased at their vendors in the Project Tents sim which will be opened until May 30.

Chanktare – Haiti Specials
The Waterfall Dress and the Toro Tora Jewelry Set


This is one of the two exclusives Applonia Criss made for Haiti worn together with the exclusive jewelry set that is also being sold in her tent. The Waterfall Dress and the Toro Tora Jewelry Set.


The dress is a very simple form but the colours used and the texture make it so special and the jewelry set is a must with perfectly matching colours. The two create such a lovely and cool look for summer parties.


And remember…..75% of everything you buy here will be sent to the Haiti fund. Let’s try to send as many tents as we can before the monsoon season hits Haiti! Read more about this project here.

Project Tents Opening Today!

Opening Ceremony starting today from 10am SLT with live performance by RL/SL Japanese band, Ga-go!

PRESS RELEASE from May 19, 2010
RE: “Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo” organized by Project Tents and Peace Train Charitable Trust for ShelterBox – May 21st through May 30th, 2010.

Over four months ago a devastating 7.0 earthquake hit the country of Haiti just outside the capital of Port-au-Prince. Four months seems like a lifetime ago, so many other natural occurrences have impacted citizens of the world since then, but the work in Haiti has only just begun. The May 24th issue of Time Magazine reports concerns that living conditions in Haiti are getting worse with the storm season now upon the region. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians still are without any permanent shelter, their only protection from the elements are makeshift tents created from materials found in the rubble. Without a solid base to these structures, many Haitians go to sleep at night in extremely damp surroundings sometime unable to escape pools of water left by the torrential rains. Relief organizations are working as fast as they can to provide permanent shelter but it may be years until any normalcy is brought back to Haiti.

This is why Project Tents along with the Peace Train Charitable Trust is honored to announce and bring to Second Life the Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo, a fund-raising event for ShelterBox. ShelterBox is a recognized international fund-raising organization that provides quality shelters for those displaced by disasters. The shelters, provided for those displaced in Haiti, are quality tents that can fit up to 10 people each and are built to withstand extreme temperatures, high winds and heavy rainfall. These are only temporary homes but are safe & reliable until permanent homes are completed.

With the National Hurricane Center in the US predicting an active Atlantic Hurricane season and Haiti being right in the middle of ‘Hurricane Alley’, finding reliable shelters is extremely important and why we are excited to organize this fund-raising event for ShelterBox.

Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo, is a benefit exposition featuring members of Second Life’s fashion industry, created by Project Tents, a non-profit group in-world group of models and designers in Second Life. The exposition will feature creations of many of top designers of Second Life fashion, as well as musical performances sponsored in cooperation with the Peace Train Charitable Trust. We, the members of Project Tents, want to first thank you for your support and any donations we may receive to our fundraiser to benefit the people of Haiti. Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo will open May 21st and run through May 30th (See SLURL links listed below). All of the designers will be offering exclusive and limited edition items which will only be available at the expo.

Project Tents HAITI Benefit Expo opens 10am SLT on May 21st

10am: Opening remarks from Cotton Thorne of Peace Train and Alan Monroe, Communications Manager, Shelterbox USA
11am: Live from Japan GaGo
12pm: Singer Tamra Sands as the Expo Vendors open to the public

We are honored to have many of the top designers in SL involved with this project including:

Aimesi, Angel Dessous, ABJ – Aurora Borealis Jewelry, AZUL, Bamboo Soup, Baubles Boho Jewelry, BELLISSIMA!, Body Talking, C’est Moi! Boutique, Callie Cline, Di’s Shape Design, DmD Poses, Ear Candy, Essential Soul, Faster Pussycat, Fellini Couture, FK Virtues, Gabriel, MiDis, Moonbeam Fashions, PRISM, Premiere Modelling Agency, R.A.

Vintage Beauty

Vintage designs have its own place in fashion. They used to be the leading the trends of the times be it the 20’s, 30’s or 50’s but now, since they fall out of the “current trend” they have become “timeless.” In other words, they have won their own place in fashion.

I have a love for timeless fashion. Especially when it comes to elegance, the haute couture fashion in the old days had a touch of elegance that, in my mind, no other fashion can even try to compete.

So naturally, I have a huge inventory of vintage fashion and wear them from time to time. Sonatta Morales is one of the stores I love dearly and it’s one of the stores I pay regular visits to whenever I have a craving for retail therapy. In other words, even when I am not on a mission to find particular items for a certain styling project I have, I would just drop by to satisfy my craving.

Today I wore “Arabesque”, a lovely delicate outfit using lots of lace. Hats are also a must item for vintage fashion and the outfit sets that have hats included also serve as my source of hat collection. I often use only the hats to match with other outfits when I want that vintage feel to the look.

The jewelry I wore here is the “Cupid Set” from R.A.Crystal, a Japanese jewelry store with Rama Anatime as the creator. What I like about Rama’s collection is that she always includes two sets of the same necklace with one attaching to the spine and another attaching to the chest. I often have to reattach necklaces if they interfere with other outfit parts but it saves a lot of time with her sets because I can just select the one that doesn’t interfere. It’s a little thought that goes a long way.

Stockings: ALB Dream Fashion, Cuban Classic Stockings (black)
Jewelry: R.A.Crystal, Cupid Set

Three Looks With Gems and Kisses

Posted on by
Reply

OK I was stupid. I was trying to create three looks using Gems and Kisses jewelry and only AFTER I created them and took pics did I find out that I had to use an outfit from Gems and Kisses called Fashion Rebel. *sighs*

So I spent so long styling them and taking pics, I decided to post them in my blog. After all, I did have fun styling them and the pics were fun too. 🙂 And it taught me a basic rule…..READ notecards carefully.

So here it goes……

My first look was themed “Queen of Passion.” I used an interesting set from Gems and Kisses called Handcuffs which is a choker and a bracelet set that is using handcuffs as a motif and no, it doesn’t look like BDSM which is what I like about it. I styled it with a bright red gown from Bliss Couture called Izzie Gown in red.

“Queen of Passion”

The next theme was “Rave Party.” Here I used Khafra Set in platinum from Gems and Kisses together with Vida in lime from VoguE Style. This outfit comes with a fur collar which is nice in the winter but here, I used the outfit without the fur collar. Since the colour of the outfit is a soft lime green, it works perfectly without the fur for the spring season too.

This was also my first attempt to edit the pic over a real life picture of a party.

The last one was themed “Dark Rebel.” Here I used a choker called Wild Black Choker, also from Gems and Kisses together with Chained Womens Black from RFyre. The RFyre outfit is a cool outfit that has a sculpt collar, which is not used here, and also comes in short sleeves as well as a no-sleeve top. But for this theme, the long sleeves worked the best.
