A New Release from VERO MODERO – Cover Dress

VERO MODERO has just released a new dress called the Cover Dress in two colour versions; black and cream.

VERO MODERO – Cover Dress Black

Here, I wore the black version and loved it!  The lovely cocktail hat I am wearing is part of the set and I reattached it to the right side of my head but the default position is on the left.  So depending on your hairstyle, you can rearrange it any way you like.

The red pumps I am wearing is also a very recent release from VERO MODERO which I really loved the deep red colour.

The hair I am using here is a recent release from Exile.  I am loving how it flows and how it looks very natural.  I think it’s the warmer climate but I am very attracted to natural flowing hair recently and this is the second one I post about after my post on 69 Hair.  I think these are perfect hair for the summer season!

New Dress Release from Bliss Couture – TWO

This is the second new release introduction from Bliss Couture.

Another really nice dress release from Bliss Couture is the Amelia Dress.  Here I am wearing the black version called Noir.  It comes with a mini poncho in lace that covers the shoulders but this can be removed as well is you prefer to accessorize this with a necklace or a scarf.  The gloves shown in this picture are included.

This will be a perfect outfit to go to a fashionable club or dancing!

New Dress Release from Bliss Couture – ONE

I have two really nice releases from Bliss Couture.

As part one, I am going to introduce the Kelleness Dress which will be released very soon, if not already, which is a really sexy and cute outfit.  I loved this outfit and ended up wearing this for three days straight during which I received more than several IMs from both people I know as well as passers-by who commented on the outfit saying they loved what I was wearing.

The lace gloves in the pics were included in the set.

Casual Summer Look

I got this new hair from 69 Hair called Bell 01 that looks really natural and it inspired me to style a nice casual look for the summer season.

I loved this skirt I found in SHINE that was available in some solid colours as well as some patterned textures out of which I chose the Floral 01 style.  This soft flared design is something I would love to wear in real life.  I matched it with a pair of cute red flats with ankle straps and a straw woven tote bag from glow studio.

Some Releases From Gizza – Part 2 "Breeze Dress [Floral]"

As part 2 of my Gizza Creations new release posts, I have “Breeze Dress [Floral]“.  This is a really sweet and lovely dress for the coming summer season and I absolutely fell in love with the texture that Giz uses for these dresses.  This will be something I would love to wear in real life for anything casual but styled as well.
Gizza Creations – Breeze Dress [Floral]

It is available in 4 different colours, or maybe I should say prints.  Aside from Floral, there is Rosy, Vintage and Zebra where the first two look like colour variations of Floral where as Zebra is a black, white and red modern pattern and looks quite different.

Here I wore Floral together with a pair of red ankle boots that is available at Indyra’s Originals.  The dress will also match sandals for a more summer look but I wanted to play with the colours in the dress and style it with a twist.
The hair is also a recent release from Bish Wear and comes with a colour changing hair band and feathers that fall on the side.  Together with the ankle boots, I think this hair added some fun elements to the dress.

 

I usually love chunky jewelry sets and this set from je suis allows texture and colour change to all the different parts that comprise the pieces and was such a fun addition to this look.

Outfit:  Gizza Creations, Breeze Dress [Floral]
Jewelry set:  je suis, Boheme
Ankle boots:  Indyra Originals, Coquette Noir Boots, DV-8 Boot 2.0 (Red w/ White laces)
Hair:  Bish Wear, Jenine (black)
Poses:  agapee poses

Some Releases From Gizza – Part 1 "Flower Children II"

I have two recent releases from Gizza and part 1 is Flower Children II.
The name, Flower Children comes from the hippie fashion that prevailed in the 1960’s when the Unites States was involved in the Vietnamese War.  The hippie movement started in San Francisco where young people wearing outfits in bright colours often with flower patterns, wore flowers in their hair and handed out flowers to passers by promoting Love & Peace.  This later spread to many other cities in the US and these young people were often called the “flower children”.  This hippie fashion later spread to other countries and became one specific fashion trend.
 Gizza – Flower Children II
 
This outfit by Gizza takes its name from the hippie fashion look it is based on and comes in three different colour variations.   I wore the second colour variation in brown/blue colours with a hair that wasn’t exactly hippie style but something that looked as innocent and sweet from the Japanese hair store 69 called Olivia 03.  The ribbon in this hair is colour change by a menu that drops down when you click on it.
The jewelry set is from ByKay and it is available in three different colour variations.  You can also buy a prim nail set that matches the colours of this jewelry set and contains prim nails with and without rings.  I love the chunky design of this jewelry set and it is definitely one of my favorites.

The sandals are from Kalnins and comes with a HUD that allows the different parts to change colours as well as the skin and pedicure colour.  By specifying colours of each part, you can create your own design and it’s really convenient as well as fun.

This is a really fun casual outfit set that is also fun to style!
Outfit set:  Gizza, Flower Children II
Hair:  69, Olivia 03, Noir

Resuming My Blog! Yay!! – MEILING, A RL Designer Who’s Crossed The Line

Wow.  It’s been so long since I last blogged and I am finally resuming my blogging activity!  Whoot!  The reason why I had to stop blogging was because my graphic card wasn’t keeping up with the development in the viewers and every time I tried to take pictures, my screen either froze, turned black or I crashed.  After several attempts spending literally hours just to take a few pics, I finally had to give up.

Now I have a new PC, new graphic cards and I’m back to business!

I had also been a bit busy recently as I was helping Meiling launch in SL.  Meiling is a very successful real life designer from Trinidad & Tobago who is not only very well known in the Caribbean for her couture designs of real life garments but also known for her innovative and very creative marketing skills.  She is probably the only Caribbean designer in SL and brings with her a new trend in this virtual world of very wearable and stylish designs of items we can now buy in this virtual world from her real life collection.

She is very different in the following points, in my opinion.

  1. Meiling’s designs have been inspired from the great couture design talents from Japan with its simple yet modern designs but she has added to this, a Caribbean touch, and has created a whole new line of designs that is very unique to Meiling.
  2. She will be following the real life sales method of introducing seasonal collections which will be retired periodically.  This means, one collection will only be available until the next collection is out and her designs will not be in the store for a very long time.  This is going to be very different from most of the sales direction with SL designers where most of the items will be available for a much longer period of time.
  3. Meiling’s designs are SL versions of her real life designs.  This means they will all be very realistic rather than SL unique designs with lots of fancy prims.

Today I am introducing one of Meiling’s newest releases, the Noir Mystere Dress which was an iconic dress that was actually shown in her RL collection. It is a very simple and yet very stylish and modern design that reflects Meiling’s policy as a designer that “outfits are to show the women and not the women showing the outfits“.

"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

Getting Ready For Christmas! – Fellini Couture

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

Styling Items For Only L$10! – auTre for 10th Lurani

A very fun store indeed and one you can feel VERY rich is the “auTre for 10th Lurani” where everything in the store is sold for L$10. It’s not a big store but have lots of fun items you can choose from, even some makeup tattoos!

auTre for 10th Lurani – Flight Feather

I got this mini dress called Flight Feather there for L$10 and I had a blast styling it. This time, I styled it with green items that had a soft and mellow shade so as not to over power the gray tone of the dress. But you can style this with many other colours too. For example, keep it monotone and use black/white and shades of gray, add some striking red, yellow might look sophisticated too.


It’s really these simple items that gets me excited because there is so much possibility!

Here, I used a necklace and earring set from Mandala and a really fun wrist warmer from Kazu Pinklady, both stores owned by Japanese creators. I love the jewelry that kikunosuke Eel makes that always has that unique impact that works great especially with simple outfits because they bring out the best of his creations. These wrist warmers are a great item to have especially around this time of the year too. As you can see, it’s also a very fun addition to casual looks that can tranform a plain casual look to something very fashionable.

I was going back and forth between a black/gray pair of shoes and a green pair but in the end, decided to go with this cute green pair of wedge sole pumps from Baiastice. As it blends in with the tights I wore, it didn’t distract too much from what goes on above and yet added that cute final touch.

Here I wore this huge hair which was a new release from Vanity Hair, but depending on where I go, I would swap this with something smaller or something more casual. The big hair looked great for pics though.

I must say, I really enjoyed styling for this one. 🙂

Mini Dress: auTre for 10th Lurani, Flight Feather
Tights: Bourgewhat?, Warm Shiny Tights (olive)
Jewelry: Mandala, Sinra Jewelry Set
Wrist Warmer: Kazu Pinklady, Writst Warmer (black)
