AZUL, Rita In Champagne

2014.2.26 AZUL Rita Champagne_001

When I came back to SL, I was living in my free Linden home for about a week while I was thinking what I should do for a more permanent home.  I lived in a private island for a very long time and I loved the privacy and the freedom to terraform the island to what ever I wanted.  So at one point, I had a medieval village.  At another time, I had a modern house with a beautiful garden.  I loved how I could make anything and change it when I got bored.  But this time, the situation was a bit different.  I needed a house that I can feel comfortable in immediately.  I didn’t think I had the luxury of time to terraform, build a house and decorate it but I still wanted to live in a beautiful environment.

One day, Aris came home all excited.  Apparently, he had gone wandering around different sims and somehow ended up in the sim where the Rose Theater was located.  He then told me that there are furnished apartments we can rent there and he wanted me to come see it.  I fell in love right away and we decided to make this place our home.  So here we are in the beautiful sim owned and built by Kaya Angel called the Angel Manor Estate.  We love strolling around the beautiful garden where there is a riding stable, clay pigeon shooting, a mini golf course, a sanctuary where we can sit down for a nice tea party, an art gallery…there is just so much to enjoy and explore.  We even found a bath like the ancient Roman bath in the basement of the palace!  I am sure we haven’t even seen everything yet.

Another thing I am loving is that being a resident of this place, I can rez my pose stand anywhere on this vast estate!  So today, I decided to use this grand staircase to shoot a picture for my blog post for the lovely Rita gown in champagne colour from Azul.  It seemed perfect for this elegant gown.

Fellini Couture – Tentation W&B Hope For Emilia

“Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Hope”

Hope for Emilia, held through August 9, is a fundraising event for the victims of the recent earthquake in Emilia, Italy.  Many brands have joined in to support this charity project, donating exclusive items that are only sold on this event site with 100% of sales going to charity.

100% of the funds raised with this event will be donated to victims of the earthquake through a an official bank account opened by Emilia-Romagna region and all transactions will be public on the Hope For Emilia website.

Here, I am introducing this love gown that was released by Fellini Couture as the exclusive item.

“Fellini Couture – Tentation W&B Hope For Emilia” is a black & white mesh gown that is chic, elegant and glam!  I am also using an exclusive face tattoo released from White Widow.  This face tattoo comes in various colours and has the “without eye shadow” versions for each colour.  The one I am using here is the “with eye shadow” version.

The hat I matched in this styling is one of the new hats released recently from Bliss Couture.  Being a passionate animal lover, the bird in the hat was enough to make this one of my favorites.  Needless to say, it is stylish too!

The jewelry set is a new mesh jewelry that has just been released from Virtual Impressions.  At this store, new items are released every Saturday and group members can buy all new releases at 50% discount for the first one week period.  So this is one group worth joining if you have group slots you can open up.

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.

A Lovely Cocktail Dress From a Japanese Designer – Connors

Connors, Georgette Lace Cocktail Dress (Ivory)

I visited Connors just to see if there was anything I liked.  I found this lovely cocktail dress at Connors that was marked as a new release.  I loved how the lace skirt slowed out from a very low position, giving the dress an almost 30’s type vintage feel.

So I set off to style a modern vintage.  In other words, a look that had a taste of a vintage look without going all the way 30’s.  I picked pale lilac as a colour I wanted to add which was something I thought might not over-shadow the lovely ivory colour.  The gloves you see in the pic were gloves with relatively large cuff parts which I decided not to use to keep it simple.

It is always very difficult to find the exact colour shoes you want but with these pair of shoes from Virtual Impressions, you can use a HUD that comes with the shoes and pick what ever colour you like using a colour chart.  This is what I love about Virtual Impressions shoes.  As long as you can find a shoe’s design that matches, you never have to worry about the colour.

Katsucide Skins, Laura Pale (lilac)

The skin I wore here was a new skin from Katsucide Skins called Laura skin in light.  This skin store is also participating in FFL (Fashion For Life) and has a really great drow skin if any of you are interested.  And one of the drow skins “Sandra cendre – Cerise – Dark” is an FFL donate skin, which means 100% of the sales go to FFL.

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.

Inspired by the Academy Awards – Orage Creations, Royal Blue

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?

A Must For The Coming Season! – Tres Beau "Winter Whites"

Posted on by

Kimmera Madison of Tres Beau has made another wonderful outfit set, which is a must buy for this coming fall/winter season called Winter Whites. It’s a pants suit that comes with a winter jacket and a coat, a fedora and matching gloves that look so warm and stylish that I must confess, I have been wearing this for almost 5 days straight! The set comes in three colours, white, blue and red and here I am wearing the white version.

Tres Beau – Winter Whites


You can change the jacket prim part to make it a long coat and since both the jacket and the coat are made with the jacket layer, you can match it to other outfits you have. The fedora and gloves can also be used quite easily with other outfits you have too and this is why I thought this set is so versatile and a must buy for the coming season.


I loved the colour also as it is a colour better described as “off-white” rather than white and together with the nice texture Kimmera used, it brings on a very soft and elegant image to the entire look.


I matched it with jewelry and shoes in soft brown colours to complement the elegant image of the outfit. I must say, it’s not easy to find nice formal jewelry in brown but Virtual Impressions has several sets in pearl that is made in brown also and for this outfit, I chose the Madison Jewelry Set in Chocolate Pearls which consists of a choker part and a long strand of pearls in one necklace.

QUEENS – Katerina: An Impressive Gown

Posted on by

The very first time I wore anything from QUEENS was when I was in a half panic, not knowing what to wear, only 30 minutes before the start of the finals for Mr. Virtual World that was held on June 6. I was running out of time and I had no idea what I should wear nor had I anything styled.

So out of desperation, I decided to teleport to a new store I had never yet visited. That was QUEENS, a relatively new brand which I had always wanted to visit but hadn’t yet found any time to go shopping.

QUEENS was a very elegant store with lots of very attractive outfits. It had a lot of gorgeous gowns as well as some very dressy cocktail dresses. Since that day, this is still my second QUEENS gown which my beloved partner Aris sent to me a few days ago.

Katerina is a gown that has a very big skirt that is all lace. The bodice part uses both lace and solid fabric with a very elegant cut which was almost fresh to the eye that has grown accustomed to the very revealing and bold cuts that you see often in the market.




I decided to style this to make a very classic and authentic look and matched it with a diamond jewelry set from Virtual Impressions. Red nails and lip colour add the finishing touch to this classic elegance.

Gown: QUEENS, Katerina

Last Minute Valentine Gift Ideas

Posted on by

You’re still looking for that Valentine’s Day gift? And you still can’t think of a good one?

Well I have some ideas…..I’m not going to say they are the best in SL because I can’t possible go to all the stores in SL to rank them. But I am pretty sure, they are nice gifts you might want to consider.

The first one is a pair ring from ROZOREGALIA. One for yourself and the other for your partner, girl friend or boy friend. It comes with ring boxes for both rings and are all transferable (no copy). ROZOREGALIA is one of my favorite stores that has really high quality jewelry with amazing texture and exquisite production quality as you can see from the vendor poster below.

I also made some more suggestions in the February 8th show of Fabulous Fashion TV (my accessories part starts from 24:35 in the video.

Run, run! Valentine’s Day is this coming Sunday!!
