Lemon, Lime But I'm Not Bitter.

Today I'm featuring another wonderful Sascha's Designs gown called 'Fools' in luscious lime.  It's fairytale couture at its finest.  Whimsical, floaty and definitely a head turner as you sashay through the crowd, you have numerous options in terms of skirt type, collar and hat.  Available in fire, gold, metal blue, pink, silver and of course, lime, you have no excuse not to shine.

I chose to wear the 'Ballerina' hair from TuTy's given this dress is definitely made for dancing.

 

I just knew I'd find a pair of shoes at JD Designs made for this dress and I did.  I purchased another pair of 'Excess' heels but really, any excuse for a shop up at JD and I'm there. lol.

This morning I had the privilege of watching the Miss Virtual World 2014 Opera Challenge sponsored by Maddox DuPont, KMADD, RGF Estates and Lazuri whereby the participants had to give a visual interpretation of various opera's using fashion.  It was seriously brilliant and all of the girls did an outstanding job putting together their outfits from a variety of sources.  When I hear people bag the competition and consider the models are not doing anything too difficult, I wince because the challenges are really tough and do require a lot of imagination, networking, stamina and a big dose of artistic prowess.  While I'm rooting for Miss Australia, I consider each and every one of them the best of luck and congratulate you on your amazing work today.

Do You Ever Think Of Me?

This is a post featuring the work of 7 Deadly Skins and the new release Spring mesh dress from KANOU.  Both are fabulous and I hope you like the styling.

Look 1 shows Chalice wearing Vanity skin in Tone 1 from 7 Deadly Skins and the Eva dress in blue and red by KANOU

In look 2 Chalice is wearing Envy skin in Tone 2 and the Eva dress in purple and yellow.

These skins are seriously great and the attention to detail particularly on the legs, hands and torso is amazing in my opinion.  Go grab yourself a demo, go home, stand on a pose stand and see for yourself.

I'm loving the sweet as pie Spring dresses from KANOU.  Apart from what I've shown, the other colors are pink/blue, green/purple, brown/green and blue/gold.  I mean that's six combinations to choose from!  I could be wrong, but I think the flowers are delicate pansies so what could be more SPRING than that?

Well that's it for now precious one's.  Go, go, go check out 7 Deadly Skins and KANOU.

Mondriaan Dress by Sascha's Designs

Gawd...two posts in one night.  I'm on a roll so will keep going.

Here's a great interpretation of Dutch painter, Piet Mondriaan's, grid based compositions of the 1920's.  I've always had a penchant for his work so couldn't let this dress go unblogged.  It comes with the black hat and also black leggings if you desire.

Great work Sascha. The shine and gentle creases are fab.  They come in a vast array of sizes so will suit any body shape.  Speaking of shapes, don't you go buying any of those ripped shapes on Marketplace that I notice are still for sale.  That would be very naughty.  After catching up with all that's gone on in the last few months, that waste of space needs to be GONE.

Wanna Be In My Harum?

Take a look at these gorgeous pants from Celoe called 'Yasmine' in the Regal tone.  Harum cut to the ankles, I love the drape that Celoe is renowned for.  I paired them with Azoury Les Boots Miliana which Lady GaGa would heartily approve of.

I also adore this Celoe Clara Corset top in Gloom.   Fits like a doctor's glove and shows the girls off for all they're worth.  I particularly love the fact that it is pinched at the waist and slightly flares are the hips.  STUNNING.

I also adore this simple do from Bliss Couture called 'Sinning' in Champagne tone.  Simple but very effective and perfectly flatters the face.

I donned the Straw Tote bag in Black from mon tissu.  A great GREAT bag let me tell you.

The jewellery is from Eclectica called 'Nouveau Leaves' with a color/size change hud providing a plethora of combinations.  Gorgeous pieces from the incomparable Tiffy Vella, who's imagination knows no bounds.

Pics were taken at Water Reserve where you will find emm shop and scribbled hearts.

Praying The Seams Hold.

I once wore a dress so tight and short a few years ago that I literally couldn't sit down, which was a terrible shame because my shoes were killing me. I knew before I walked out the door, I'd regret it no matter how fantastic I thought I looked. I spent most of the night worrying about whether I was flashing my crotch to the crowd and praying the seams didn't explode in the middle of the club.  It was at that point in my life that I promised myself if ya can't sit in it, ya don't wear it.

That aside, Chalice never has to worry about such things and this slip of a dress from Alaskametro called 'Milla' in Pebble Beige was something I put away in the closet to blog some day.  Its simply cut but the lace and color sets it apart from other little dresses and great for clubbing the night away.  It has a traditional elegance but with oodles of sex appeal.

Styling this look was also an opportunity to show you the new 'Daisy' hair from LeLutka with roots in the 'Marilyn' tone.  Loose, casual and perfect for unabashed freedom on the dance floor, I really love this style.

Worn with Kalnin's amazing 'Scarlett' footwear and a little clutch from Baiastice, this simple yet eye-catching look is something you can easily throw on after work when you and your buddies are up for some drinks and dancing.  I was told this evening that Kalnins Footwear no longer exist in SL or may have been sold to an outlet.  If anyone finds a LM for Kalnin's shoes, please share with me.

This dress does need to come with a warning though, 'Please don't pick a loose thread' or you could be in BIG trouble.

Here I'm using a new photo studio that I purchased from pose store PNP Megastore.  I came across this when PNP sent out some free background texture packs and I was intrigued to know exactly what they were for.  I strolled through the huge store and found the PNP Photo Studio V3 that comes with pose stand and texture hud whereby you can add more textures and poses to both via edit.  What I like about this studio is the size of it.  Very wide and high so you can pull back without loosing the picture.  It also comes with a control module to remove/show the pose stand and move your avatar by using the arrows to place yourself in different positions.  Easy as pie.  I think this is great for people who like to shoot backgrounds in world using a variety of wind-light settings.  You can then add them to the background hud and have the control to concentrate on lighting your avatar on your own land without interruption from visitors etc.  Also PNP have a huge variety of backgrounds for sale to add to the hud if that's what you'd prefer.  I do love shooting at different locations but when using some of the wind-light settings, while making magic with the landscape, can turn my avatar into the ugliest thing imaginable.  Drop in the store and have a play with it.  You'll find a mass of poses and other photographic items.
