A New Hair Called "Kay"!! AND A New Dress Of Course!

Rise Matove of R’s Hair Style, a hair store in Japan, just released a hair style called “Kay Fairey”!! Whoooot! And I seriously love this hair style, not only because it has my name! It’s elegant but not too quiet, and it’s not wild either. It matches with both formal wear as well as casual. In fact, it was quite cute wearing it with jeans too. Of course, it comes in other colours for those who want other colour hair. It uses flexi prims so it has movement. In fact, I wore this hair with my opening dress at the MB-Designs show that I was in last Saturday with Boulevard Agency.

As for the dress, this is a new release from Anubis Style called “Blue Night.” The colour is very chic and also unique. A deep blue that almost looks like a midnight sky or a deep deep ocean. It comes with two styles of gloves, and you can choose between roses made with the same material and colour or metal broches with metal fringes for ornaments. It also has a long and short versions for the skirt part, the long being a somewhat sheer skirt while the short skirt uses solid prims that look triangular shaped. This might be easier to understand if you saw the pictures below.

The skin I am wearing is also a new skin released from Beauty Avatar called “Malica.” As you can see, the body contour as well as the face is very detailed with very nice eye brows. Eye brows are VERY important in skins and when I choose skins, I must say the first thing I see is how the eye brows are drawn. This skin had a very natural and nicely shaped eye brow that I absolutely loved.

The dress comes with studded diamonds along the breast hem. So another necklace will be a bit too much so I only am only wearing some black pearl studded earrings from Styles of edo. I could have worn diamond earrings to match the dress ornament but I didn’t want to make it too blingy with lots of gem. But for those who do like gem stones, diamond earrings will be another option for sure.

Introducing Chantkare: A Rising Star!

I met Applonia about a month ago when I paid a visit to her store. Immediately, I fell in love! In fact, I fell in love so much that I decided, on the spot, to trash another article I was writing for a magazine and decided to write about her and her instead!

Applonia Criss, whose store is called “Chantkare“, is a brand new store that opened just this September. She, in fact, started making clothes in SL this summer! So yes, she is VERY new. However, her designs were already showing signs of uniqueness and style. Skill wise, I am sure she will get even better. But even with what she already had in her store, I could tell that she had a talent to see style and design unique but attractive clothings.

Earlier today, I visited her store again and I was taken by a huge surprise. Not only did Applonia have a lot of new designs, she even changed the whole layout, interior and displays in her store! She also had a small collection of jewelry, bags and men’s items! I asked her “Where do you stop?! I can’t keep up!”

Well anyway, I took these pics back when I first met her, which was about a month ago but I could not publish them as the magazine for which I wrote this for had the 1st right of publishing and I had to wait until the magazine was out. So now, I am introducing you the store and the pics here as I couldn’t wait to scream it out. lol You might be wondering what “Chantkare” means and so did I. My curiority defeated me and I just had to ask. She told me that it was a word that meant “stylish, fashionable, upbeat, modern and fun” all in one word and the style she aims for or likes is a bit “european”, sophisticated but always fun. And fun they are! She uses lots of colours but never too much and always adds a twist to her designs that make them look so interesting and unique. I really can’t wait to see her designs 6 months down the road. I must say, I am almost afraid to see how many items she will be adding. I said it before and I will say it again. “I can’t keep up!!!!!”

And I have MORE exciting news for you! Applonia will do her very first show with us at Ewing Fashion Agency on Dec. 14!! This will be the very first time “Chantkare” will be seen on the runway. I will post details here as the date approaches to stay tuned!

So without further due, please take a look at some of her stunning designs.

Chantkare – Polka Dot Red Chiffon

Chantkare – Citron Gown

Chantkare – Morocco Ensemble

Chantkare – White Pepper Dress with Scarf

Chantkare – Motogreen

I will also be posting some of her latest designs soon! So again, stay tuned!

A Sweet Dress From Maria Bonita

I posted about Maria Bonita in my November 19th post. Today, I have another sweet dress that I got in this new store which is called Dress Dots in purple. It’s a simple dress. But I like simple ones as they leave more room for styling myself and it’s more fun.

So here I wore this dress and matched it up with sweet polka dot stockings I found in a Japanese store called Juicy Pop which came in many colours in a set. I also wore a pair of ankle boots from Bax Coen and I wore a fun hair from Bish to make a stylish but playful look.

For jewelry, I wore “Deep Sea Treasure” from a store that has quickly become one of my fav jewelry stores, Vencenca Rosca Jewellry. The jewelry sold here always come in a wide variety in sets and priced very reasonably. This one, for example, had different bracelet designs such as a narrow one ring bracelet to a five ring bracelet which is the one I am wearing here. It even has rings for both hands and also a matching belly ring. I posted about the jewelry here already in my previous post, showing many other designs available here so if you’ve read that post, you could see why I love this place. It’s really a store no fashionista should miss.

A GREAT Jewelry Store You Don’t Want To Miss!

I came across a great jewelry store just by accident. I walked in and I was like “WOW, WOW, WOW!!” It was GREAT!! So I want to tell the world about Vincenca Rosca Finest Jewellery.

First off, the designs were all so unique, original but also really nice. But other than that, each set was very affordable. None of them were over L&500 but still contained everything you can think of needing. The sets included a necklace, bracelet, earrings, rings and even belly rings! I have more to tell you though. The bracelets and rings were for both hands and arms. You even get 2 or 3 types of different bracelets or earrings in a set depending on which set you get. So you can pick and choose which jewelry you wanted to wear!

Not only this, every jewelry piece is colour changing. You can change the gem and the metal to suit whatever you are wearing. So you just choose a design and out of the whole set, what you want to wear, like whether you want to wear both bracelets or only one…..that’s your choice. Then you can click on the pieces to choose what colour gem you want or whether you want it in gold, silver or platinum….and also choose from what gold type you want even.

I have never seen a jewelry store that gives you so much freedon and so much flexibility in great designs!!

This is a store you just don’t want to miss and I am SO happy that I found this place! Go check it out yourself. I can promise anybody a happy shopping trip!! And “Aztec’s Treasure” was marked down to 290L this week and “Spanish Dreams” was a FREEBIE! Don’t miss this!

So let me show you what I got. You can see I did go a bit crazy shopping here. I was just so excited! But I am going to go back to get some more for sure.

A New Designer, A New Store: Maria Bonita

I visited a new store, “Maria Bonita” that was just opened by a designer called Mell Coage. I must say, I enjoyed the visit immensely! She had a lot of outfits for a new store….almost too much to look at and all sold at very reasonable prices! All outfits were in the 100 – 130L range which meant, I could buy lots and not worry too much about my Lindens. And shop I did.

Although a lot of her clothes were casual, she also had some that were fit to be worn to a party. A lot of colours, a lot of fun and a lot of styles.

Here, I am showing two outfits I got. One is an outfit called “Dance Bling Outfit.” As the name suggests, this is a fun short pants set that comes with a simple black tank top. It was simple enough to allow me to have fun with other items I matched it up with. I chose a metallic tights that I picked up at G.L.A.M as a freebie offered in the store that was modifiable so we could colour it to whatever colour we wished. This is great to match, as I often find that the tights or stockings that I have, don’t match because of the slight difference in colour tone. I also played with a fun hair from Cocoluv. This hair comes with a colour changing turban that will also make it easier to match up.

Then I wore a pair of black boots that has hot pink shoe sole. So although it looks plain black, the pink underneath shows as I dance or walk.

And this is the fun look I got. All ready to go out dancing!!

The next one is one of the outfits Mell has that will be great for a party to which you might want to wear something not as formal as a ballroom gown but something fun and stylish. It’s called “Dress Pompom Black” and as the name suggests, has a pompom-like skirt with a top that has a sheer part both in the front and back in different shapes. It’s an outfit that is both sexy and sweet.

The stockings I wore here were a pair of stockings that was given out at the Styles of edo for free. It has a line at the back which are a kind of stockings I like a lot. Sometimes those lace or fishnet stockings are fancy but a bit too much and I tend to prefer these simple ones to match with outfits.

If you haven’t yet, try making a visit to Maria Bonita. I am sure you will have as much fun as I did.

New Coat Collection from Styles of edo

Styles of edo, that has been launching a lot of new items lately has now come up with two new coat collection to prepare us for the winter season. Vivace, a short coat with a pants set and also Andante, a long version with short pants and stockings have been released together with Tahitian Black Pearls and also a creamy coloured pearl jewelry from Styles of edo. Here I will show Vivace and Andante.

Vivace is a short coat that comes in 5 colours; black, brown, pink, blue and green. All coats have these colours weaved with black so none of them are bright coloured. Here I am wearing pink and as you can see, pink is really not pink pink, but more of a subdued colour that is “pinkish.” It has fluffy fur surrounding the neck and sleeve ends for a classy and elegant look. Here, I have worn it with the pants set that comes with the coat. A patterned shirt and a dark gray pants that matches the coat but these can be changed to any outfit you have that can be worn underneath.

I wore this set with a hat and also with a clutch bag that I got from one of my favorite stores that sells great accessories as well as shapes and skins, “+plus*.” Helena Compton of “+plus*” has many attractive bags as well as other items that you can choose from to match with your outfits and I must say, I must have bought out her whole store! I have to look for items I don’t have yet as I love her items so much. If you haven’t yet, you must go down and see for yourself. By the way, it seems like she has moved her store so if you have been there but haven’t visited for a while, try to tp from the link below and make a new LM so you have her new store location.

I wore this set with the Tahitian Black Pearl necklace. Tahitian pearls are known to be at the highest of quality in black pearls and the colour is very distinctive, being of a somewhat greenish black when it shines. edo Tone, was very particular in getting this colour reproduced in SL when he had Chrissy Ambrose of Virtual Impressions make the jewelry for him. And you can see that the efforts paid off as the pearls are not just plain black but generates a lovely greenish shine that must had been hard to achieve in SL.

Styles of edo – Vivace (pink)


Coat and pants set: Styles of edo, Vivace (pink)
Necklace: Styles of edo, Short Single Strand Tahitian Black Pearl Necklace
Earrings: Styles of edo, Short Single Strand Tahitian Black Pearl Studded Earrings

Hat: Hat Heaven, Red and Black Regal Feathered Hat
Clutch Bag: +plus*, Big Clutch in Croco Leather
Hair: Sirena, Josephine (Black – Midnight)
Skin: Tuli, Meredith (light) nicely nude

The next one is the long version, Andante. Here I wore the black version but the sets come in the same 5 colours as Vivace, black, brown, pink, blue and green. But here, instead of the shirt that came with it, I wore the new top released from Baiastice as the shirt that came with the set was the same as the one that came in the Vivace set. I matched it up with the new bag that was also released from Baiastice and another one of the Black Pearls Collection necklace but this time in double strand to match with more volume that I have with the longer coat. Again, this coat can be worn with other outfits you have that can be worn underneath so long as it is not a jacket layer and it does not take up the prim parts attachment places that the coat needs.

November Gift Item From ALB Dream Fashion

One of my favorite stores is ALB Dream Fashion with all the colourful gowns and outfits that are so unique. Designer AnaLee Balut certain has a LOT of creativity and creates the most dreamy fashion. No wonder she named her store “ALB Dream Fashion.”

What’s amazing is that she always places a monthly free gift item for all those who visit her store. This is wonderful for me as I am always so capped in groups that I don’t have any slots left to join store groups. So I make it a regular trip to visit her store every month to pick up the monthly free item and also to do other shopping as well. I must say, the items she places as free definitely do not look like any freebie at all! She always has a full set of outfits that can be sold in her store as any regular item or sometimes even more with everything like skins and accessories included.

For the month of November, she had this set – Firebird Set. As the name suggests, it’s a gorgeous dress with flaming colours! If you don’t attach the prim parts, it will even be a sexy lingerie with a sweet thong and a corset tied at the back.

To match this gorgeous gown, I wore a feather hair accessory that is colour changing to fit various coloured outfits. The colour “mango” was perfect for this set. And to finish off, I wore the same coloured make up skin from Lion Skins which is also my fav with so many different make ups to choose from. If the make up colours fit the outfit you are wearing, you are sure to achieve the most stunning look! On the other hand, I decided not to wear any other jewelry. With this gown, feathers and make-up, sometimes too much can be an over-kill. As you often say, “the last piece is always too much!”

This time, I also took some pics to take in the atmosphere of this lovely club that my dear friend introduced me to. Club Noir La Musique – a world of black and white and so chic. The bright gown made a perfect contrast to this simple world of no colours but if I go visit again, a pitch black dress might be chic and befitting to this club also.

It’s Getting Cold And I Need A Coat!

It was getting very cold here, at least where I am located and I wanted a coat. So I went off coat shopping. There were so many different kinds of coats but this time I got myself one that will make me look like a Hollywood actress. LOL Oh well, It’s free to dream anything in SL right? I might as well dream BIG!

This is a coat from ALB Dream Fashion. It came in two colours but I picked the one in grass green. The folder had a short version and and a long version and I could choose whether I wanted fur with them or not. Believe it or not, the one I am wearing here is the SHORT version. The long version is much longer! I tried it but I think I prefer the shorter version as this is, in my opinion, long enough!

So the scene I had in my mind was…a Hollywood actress going shopping. So….I would wear jeans inside. Not a fancy dress. I kinda like wearing casual clothes under a dramatic coat but don’t ask me why. So this is the look I made. Casual plus a dramatic coat with fur! Hmmm….now I need a fancy man in a white sports car to come pick me up. 😛 Any volunteers?

I Feel Like A Faerie: LBD New Gown

A lovely gown had been released by LeeZu Baxter Designs. Ginko Flexi Dress – Lilie. It is such a grand gown and yet the dainty image it has is quite amazing. The top is almost bare on the left side and not only is it sweet but also very sexy.

The very delicate colours, which can only be described at pink and green, but no way would those two colour names do justice to this very delicate and sweet colours, is used with amazing texture. It comes with a large hair ornament that looks like three flowers and also three skirt parts. One of them is the one closest to a normal gown but LeeZu made this skirt with an amazing 136 prims which shows the detail and the amount of work that had gone into it. It is slightly longer at the back and because of this length, the green part at the bottom of the skirts shows more at the back, making it a charming part of the design.

Then there is a more sheer looking sculpture primed skirt that is more full and not flexi. This part can be attached together with the flexi skirt, which I did in the pics. There is also a short mini skirt, which is a whopping 192 prims! With the mini skirt, the outfit looks almost like a faerie outfit. I know there will be personal tastes but I like the long grand ballroom skirt the most because I think it makes the most out of the dainty colours and delicate design of the top part.

The solf colours of this gown matched the Classic Akoya Pearl jewelry that was launched from Styles of edo because the pearls in these pieces are cream pink coloured rather than white due to aging. I wrote about these pearls in my previous post so please refer to this write up if you are interested. It’s no ordinary pearls so I thought the value and quality of these pearls matched this gorgeous gown aside from the colour.
