Arabian Nights In Bliss Couture

Have you taken a walk around Bliss Couture lately? Ms Amutey Decuir pumps out fabulousness at warp speed and I have seriously come to appreciate her amazing contribution to SL fashion. Room upon room, wall upon wall of quality, inspired fashion, delights the senses and it strikes me that one could not produce the volume of creative work if one didn't love what they do. I spied this Merlin Floral dress in the most striking red and being a lover of hibiscus, of which this dress reminds me, I had to have it.

Always trying to take an outfit away from the obvious, I wanted to introduce another color or element to the look and found these snakeskin tights in striking blue.

I then scoured the shops for accessories to match and found this gem of a bag at Armidi Gisaci. Some further snooping unearthed these blue bangles also from Armidi.

I'm imaging Chal as an undercover operative in some exotic location although this is not the outfit I'd wear if I were trying to blend in.

I remembered my Coutisane La Sauvage shoes in Ocean that Vixie Rayna kindly gave me as a present and thought....'perfect'. A little up do from Lamb, red lips from LeLutka and the Rita glasses from Mojoti were all that was needed to complete my look as an undercover spy. Evelyn Salt meet Chalice Carling.

Sorry for all the pics but I have to say this is my most favorite set to date and wanted a forum to show them off. Bad ain't I?

Kalnins The Wonder Shoes.

Wonder by Kalnins.

A big thank you to Maris Kanto, designer of Kalnins shoes and shades. Once again, Mr Kanto has shared his new release shoe with blogger's and this is one right out the shoe box. Appropriately called Wonder, I have entirely fallen in love with this smart strappy heel with excellent shading and delightful tootsies. What I adore about Kalnins' prim toed shoes is the easy to operate hud. I consider myself the perfect gauge for huds, because I am so challenged, if I can use it, anyone can.

I would just love this shoe in RL. Its stylish and really does look comfortable.

I wanted to bring out this lovely top to show you, beautifully designed by Fhara Acacia from Ricielli . I purchased this from The Dressing Room Blue as Ms Acacia is a member of this designers group who provide quality items at a discount. I couldn't go past this Batik Gold Bag from Baiastice. The skirt is from Cubic Effect, a buy from some time ago but I'm sure if they don't have this, there will be something similar.

Skin: Elle from Belleza
Bracelets: Spiked Bracelets by Blitzed

Ladies Who Lunch!

Hello again. I'm pumped, I'm excited and I'm inspired after finding some great things to blog in the coming weeks. Now in RL I love to do lunch. I love to do breakfast and dinner too. In fact, I love going out and celebrating the joy of sharing food with friends and family more than anything. So today I have found an outfit befitting of social Chalice and her love of dressing up for lunch.

I found this gorgeous lace dress from the Niven Collection, a favorite designer of mine since forever. I love the quality of her work and also the fun she incorporates into some very sophisticated couture pieces. I love this dress and the hint of nip is a naughty touch on what is a seemingly conservative little dress. Note the oversize brooch that comes with the dress...adds some quirk doesn't it? Now I want you to sit down...this dress is (drum roll) 50L. Another must have from the Niven Collection is the tattoo layer MonoChrome Wing Lashes. There's lots of options and with no effort, you look like Napolean Perdis has had his way with you.

Now if you take a trip to Niven's at Liberty you will also find my new favorite shop, Posh, a few doors away. I somehow hadn't managed to visit Posh and that was entirely my mistake. Their up-do's are something else and this hair called Envious is so stunning I can't take it off.

The lovely Drupal Kirax from MOJOTI Luxury Eyewear sent over a gift card to purchase his amazing line of sun glasses and I was entirely bowled over by the designs. I threw on these pair called Speed...just the thing to wear so that I can eye the beautiful people (you) without looking too obvious.

I hope you enjoyed the fruits of these designer's labor and I'll be certainly bringing you more Niven magic.
