Watch Me Pull A Rabbit Out Of My Hat.

One thing I have noticed since my return to SL is the number of big, BIG boobs that people are opting for on their avi's.  Nothing wrong with boobs by the way, I've got two of them myself.  You can't swing a cat around here without hitting a pair of big banana shaped boobies and it got me wondering why so many bloggers are hopping on the boob wagon.  I really need to revisit my slider because Cha Cha has little pipsqueaks that barely register on the radar.  Good for you I say...lets get em out and wear them with pride.

Today I'm showing you a Graffitiwear dress that is available in the "We're All Mad Here" hunt called the "Alice and Rabbit dress".  Given I'm Chalice In Wonderland I thought it only fitting to pick this dress to blog and also, the designer at Graffitiwear is also named Chalice.  Head on to the Graffitiwear store for hunt details.

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.

Bliss A-ddress.

Not all LBD's have to be clingy, flesh-baring little number's.  I found this edgy version with sculpted shoulders at Bliss Couture one day and loved the lines.  Called 'Zerbino', the material appears to be a heavy self-patterned, shuttle woven brocade.

Next thing I receive another of  MyStiCa Matova's new releases from Bizzare Hair and that was enough reason to style me up a storm using various hues of yellow and jet black as my theme..  The hair called 'QT' is a quirky little up do with wisp attachments that is essentially lots of little knots tied with ribbon...soooo cute.

I think one of the thrills of styling for my blog is starting off with one or two pieces and then off I go shopping, putting it together in my mind as I go.  The pants are Dade Slacks in Gold (mesh) from Celoe.  Loving those folds on the lower legs.

Another trip to LaGyo introduced me to the fabulous wicker bag, 'Lameus Pom' headdress, gold 'Fizz' earrings and the 'Be Careful' ring.  I do tend to go off in LaGyo.  The lovely necklace is called 'Respect' from Nemesis and my shoes are called 'Pietrasanta' from Similar Footwear.

'YOU STUPID IDIOT.  YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANYONE BETTER THAN ME'

Chantkari's In The Dressing Room

Took a flying visit to The Dressing Room Blue yesterday and looked no further than this vibrant dress from Chantkari for a steal at $70L. 

Having just purchased the 'Night Coffee' hair on sale from Vanity Hair, I couldn't go past crazy locks with colorful boho style.

Take a look a these fabulous suede gloves from Celoe in 'Rust'.  The earrings, array of bangles and necklace are amazing jewelery pieces from Maylo Designs.  One of the favorite bags I own is the 'Old Batik Indi'  from Baiastice that I bring out at every opportunity.

Overall, I love my zany take on the Chantkare 'Maje' dress finishing off with my blue leggings from Tee*fy and my Pascal Sock shoes from Leverocci.   I'm wearing Linn Skin from Glam Affair with a freckle tattoo from the Daphne Skin range at Glance (designer Ava Grau - no LM available for some reason)..

Catching Dreams With My Bizarre Hair.

According to the Native American Ojibway (Chippewa) tribe, dreams that humans have while asleep are sent by sacred spirits as messages.  According to their legend, in the middle of the Dream Catcher is a hole.  Good dreams are permitted to reach the sleeper through the hole in the web and bad dreams are trapped in the web only to disappear at dawn with the first light.  Usually hung over a child whilst sleeping, the Dream Catcher has become a popular object around the world.

MyStiCa Matova of Bizarre Hair has incorporated the charming Dream Catcher into a stunning style of the same name.  Shown here in Dirty Blonde, I just love the extra's in this hair pack.  The Dream Catcher can be attached at the front and back and comes with earrings and necklace (not shown here) included.  The little feathers, almost pale blue looking to me, are just perfect and the height of the hair allows enough room for the Dream Catcher's to show off their full effect.  Way to go MyStiCa.  Your eye for the dramatic makes these styles so perfect for models in both runway and photo shoots and of course, for bloggers wanting the unique..

Now on to my gorgeous dress.  This is another stunner from Aleida picked up from my shopping spree last week.  Its called "Wippy's Choice" (my choice too Wippy) and the lace work is exquisite.  With lovely bell sleeves, cummerbund with a spray of black flowers at the waist and plunging neckline edged with scalloped lace, its the LBD that will take you anywhere, but most likely to bed.

Somehow my hand slipped on the TP button and I ended up back at Similar Footwear AGAIN so I thought I'd grab another pair of heels...you know, since I was there and all.  This pair is called 'Poison' and at the front, they are held together with the daintiest of chain links with an option of silver or gold or even laces for a heavier look.  ME LOVES.  The ladies from Similar (Larisa Tylman and Simone Bonham - I think) have an amazing notecard that comes with the shoes explaining how best to match up your skin.  Stupid me only referred to it with this new purchase and I would have saved myself so much time if I'd just followed it in the first place.  I won't give it away because its their property and should be explained only when you purchase their shoes but I found it super easy.  I know some of you have an astute eye when it comes to skin tone matching but I am definitely challenged in this area...been in SL since 2007 and I still click aimlessly on the color palate or get my RGB all wrong..

With the Aleida dress, Bizarre Hair, Similar shoes, Glam Affair skin and my ultimate fave Label Mode bag, if I looked like this in RL, my Dream Catcher would be working overtime.

Do you know darlings, if SL profile search worked efficiently instead of taking forever to open, I'd be able to blog twice as fast.  I spend more time putting LM's on my blog than collectively taking pics and writing it up.  

Chalice wishes you all a happy day and again, if you have any LM's to share of smart looking runway's, please share them in-world.  No-one responded last time and I feel a bit emo  :-(

Bathed In Black.

What I most enjoy about fashion is the fact that rules are made to be broken.  Like wearing a vintage style bathing cap with a formal gown.  How can you not feel fabulous strutting your stuff with all eyes turned in your direction in awe of your chutzpah.  I found this layered black number in Aleida called 'Perry Frilled Temptation' and I love the aesthetic of the expanding layers.  I hitched the skirt up a bit to show case the lofty 'Pretender' heels in Lime from Ladies Who Lunch.  It was then I spied the 'Couture Bathing Cap' and thought "Chalice you must cross pollinate Ladies Who Lunch with Aleida" to create this look.

  
I so love the cap with a gazillion bows and the vividness of the green is ever so beautiful and reminds me of a well manicured lawn.  I also popped into Miamai for some 'Rainbow Warriors Green' lashes and added la vie eye liner tattoo in Pistachio from Label Mode for even more green drama.

Don't you just love the heights we can reach in styling something unique from the many talented designers in world?  Who ever said SL is fashionably dead?  The uninspired that's who!.

Fashion Limited - Your Chance For Uniqueness

I love dropping into Fashion Limited to peruse what wonderful things various designers have made for us - but not for all of us, only for the first 50 shoppers.  What does that mean for us?  Well it means that you won't be bumping into people wearing the same outfit all over the grid.  Now that has to be a great thing.

I purchased the 'Deb' outfit comprising of pants, top, under top, and belt made by LpD (that's Les Petits Details for the uninitiated).  Cost only $100L and I love its sweet simplicity. 

I'm wearing mega long hair called 'Moments' that comes with the cool hat with spiral details at the front from Bizarre Hair.  Thanks Mystica darling.  The braiding at the back is stunning.

Another pick up from Fashion Limited are these red unisex 'Doom Boots' from sYs.  Oh god the detail on them is amazing and again, only 50 on sale. At only $240L, there are only 45 pairs left so hurry.

I mentioned the blogger gifts sent by Amarelo Manga the other day.  This set (earrings and necklace) is called 'Durban' and can be changed to gold or silver metals.  I love the fine design and say....go forth and Amarelo Manga yourselves till it hurts.

Here is the list for my look and until next time, be kind to each other :-)

SAS 'n' Bizzare.

Welcome to Chalice In Wonderland, the little blog that battles along trying to give the people who actually make this world so amazing a little leg up. I sometimes think we get so caught up blabbering shit, worrying about unimportant things and wasting time with in-genuine tool bags that it detracts from the beauty that is in every direction.  Come on darlings...keep making, keep seeing and keep feeling the beauty.   

Here is a little SAS action in the most divine Purrrrr-ty pink.  Sascha Frangilli kindly sent me the fat pack of Purr and I opted to use only back as the accent color.

Here I'm showing the Empress style skirt but you know Sascha, she supplies so many other options that each dress transforms into something else with the click of a button.

The hair is another blockbuster kick ass style from Bizarra called 'Pollish' and even has it's own cute pair of black stiletto's sitting atop of the bun

Thanks for the lovely dress Sascha.  It's purr-fect for the most discerning pussies in town.

Hair:  Pollish from Bizarre Hair.

Skin: Ebba by LAQ.

Eyes: Sunrise Eyes by IKON.

Gloves: Fabulous by Nemesis.

Dress: Purr by SAS.

Shoes: Galazy Shark X-Treme Heels by N'Core.

BoHo HoBo Jean Jacket

How about this jean jacket from BoHo HoBo gals?  Trill Zapatero sent it to me a little while ago and I finally got around to unpacking the box to find this awesome jacket that is perfect in every way.  I wasn't feeling inclined to just wack on the obvious pair of jeans so did some hunting to seek out something playful.

I found these booty shorts at (K)Rea! and from the rear, they're very cheeky.

The details on the back of the jacket is nothing less than you what get with BoHo HoBo pieces...interesting, unexpected and quirky.

Anyway kiddies, I'm off for lunch with the girls and yes, that big machine next to me will be throbbing away between my thighs in a blink of an eye.  Now I'm gonna shut up and drive :-)

Bizarre Hair Affair - Part 3

'Ello Ladies and Germs.  Here is the last post in my Bizarre Hair trilogy and I can tell you I've had a blast styling a look to compliment each do.  Shown here is 'Retro' and the hair wisps, hair band, earrings and a necklace (not shown) accompany it. I hope you all get behind this designer and her fabulous hair because I consider myself a bit of a hair aficionado, and this is GREAT-A-LICIOUS.

Now look at my dress dear fashion freaks and take in the subtle details of the material, cut and edging.  I found this at Sur+ called 'Vojeto'. I just love this dress.  I also loving my new purchase Elephant Bag from Tokidoki.

Bizarre Hair Affair - Part 2

I simply can't tell you how much I love Bizarre Hair and all the special accessories that come with it.  Today I'm showing you CoCooN in Dirty Blonde.  The stunning tiara, necklace and bracelets are made by Maylo Dagostino from Maylo Designs Jewelery.  If you purchase the CoCooN fatpack from Bizarre, you will receive the tiara with the hair, however, you can purchase the necklace and bangles from Maylo Designs Jewelery.   Man it's all entirely fabulous believe me.

The hair wisp is also available as an option and just adds to the overall look of the do.  Mystica Matova has created the most amazing realistic hair texture and with hair being my weakness, I'm utterly thrilled.

When I tried on CoCooN, I immediately thought traditional bride with nontraditional accessories and found this great bridal dress from the Platinum Hunt of 2011 by Mocha.  Thank you to Flexagons Villota for creating such a great gown.

Stay tuned for part 3.

Bizarre Hair Affair - Part 1.

WOW I got lucky the day Mz MyStiCa Matova sent me a friendly IM asking if I would be interested in blogging her hair label, Bizarre.  Ignorant me knew of it, but hadn't taken the time to go look.  I responded saying I'd love to have a go and MyStiCa sent me over three do's. 

The first I'm showing you is Pearl in the Bizarre Classics Collection available in 8 fabulous colors.  You receive the hair base, a bun attachment, wispy hair attachment, hair pearls, necklace and earrings and let me tell you, I LOVE this hair to bits.

I'm wearing the Dirty Blond color and I just adore the luster and highlights in the hair and the way its pulled back in sections.  If the hair isn't amazing enough on its own, the jewelery is excellently constructed and compliments the style brilliantly.

A view from the back is equally pleasing and I'm just so happy that Mz Matova contacted me or else it may have taken me longer to discover this unreal hair designer.  She sure has flair with hair.

I'll post my other two styles as soon as possible.

Skin: Jadis 11 from Glam Affair 

Hair: Pearl from the Classics Collection - Bizarre Hair.

Earrings and Necklace: From Pearl hair - Bizarre Hair.

Eyes: Sunrise Eyes in Pale Blue from Fashism. 

Nails: From Mandala.

Dress: Lucille Pleated Silk Gown from Barebones (mesh).

Don't Block Out My Sun - SAS.

Its been a while since I've done a big gown post and who better to feature than the incomparable Sascha Frangilli from Sascha's Designs.  Her recent release called 'Atteris' is a stunner and as usual, comes with an array of options and skirts from slinky to spectacular. 

Sascha loves to give her shoppers choice and Atteris comes in 13 amazing colors.  I've veered away from my usual black and decided to show off in the Sun option. 

Get a load of the flower hat which reminds me of a giant poppy.   The two piece feather boa wraps around the shoulders and drapes down the front giving the dress an avian wow factor.

Thank you so much for the review copies Ms Sascha.  Once again, you've outdone yourself with the Atteris gown with the hat alone being a piece of wearable art.

Skin: Christmas Skin 2011 from Nuuna.

Eyeshadow Tattoo: Group Gift from LpD.

Lash/Liner Tattoo: Yellow X-Gen from Miamai.

Hair Base: Golden Platinum from LoQ.

Eyes: Sunrise Eyes in Grey by Fashism. 

Earrings: Experience Earrings in Black by Nemesis. 

Location: Not Everything Is Plain at MetaLES..

Don't Go For Second Best Baby...VoguE.

I went shopping at VoguE last night and was so pleasantly surprised by all the fabulous outfits.  Designer Zalyn Bailey has created a huge clothing collection from lingerie to formal ball gowns and everything in between.  I particularly loved the items to the left of the store as you enter and I wondered if these pieces may be her newest designs because of the superb quality and in my opinion, there was a more stylized aesthetic to the clothes.

The color of this dress just drew me in and my bank balance didn't stand a chance.  The dress is called 'Joan' ($299L) in Olive and the detail on the texture and intricate shading brings this dress to life.  Close up it simply knocks my socks off.  I also purchased the 'Marilla' Jacket {$299L) in Onyx with a stiff peaked collar and 'Sharmine' Stole ($80L) also in Olive.  For eyes that pop, I added VoguE Model tattoo Eye Makeup (Series 2-F $50L) and am confident to bat an eyelid in anyone's direction.  Don't take my word for it, go VoguE, go VoguE.

I keep crediting him post after post, but I wanted to officially thank Ikon Inovia, the eye designer from Fashism for giving us the most stunning peepers in SL.  You must know our souls pretty well by now darling.

The other stuff:

Hair: Suzy Chouchou in Platinum from Kik ($100L)

Skin: Bella in Pale (Forrest make up) by Redgrave 10 skins with blood red lip tattoo ($1490L)

Nails: Pixel Mode Sculpted Nail Kit ($300L)

...........................................................................................

Perhaps I'm being a bitchy blogger but do others wish that sometimes a designer would stop by their blog from time to time just to acknowledge your efforts when you showcase their creation(s)??  I guess I'm contradicting myself because I do blog because I love it and not for external reward; however, I rarely ever get any form of acknowledgement...just a 'thanks for that' or 'I like what you did'.  Maybe I'm just hormonal and it won't stop me doing what I love but just a little SOMETHING just to know they've seen it would be nice.  What do others think?  See, now I've scared everyone off.

...........................................................................................

I Let My Fur And Feathers Fly in Paris Metro.

When I think grand, decadent fashion in SL, Paris Metro immediately comes to mind and one walk around the cavernous shop is testament to this.  Here I'm wearing a stunning gown called 'Take Flight Red and Black Bird' that sells for $1500L but worth every cent if its impact you're after.

The vision of red and black birds can be seen in the overlay material and is replicated in the full length gloves that formalize the look for that special event.  RFB Morpork is a visionary creating big gowns to sweep all who gaze upon them off their feet.

I'm wearing K.I.A. shoes in Ruby from LeLutka that sell for $875L.  I'm very partial to these.

Now you might be forgiven for thinking this is merely dark hair.  It's far more quirky than hair, it is the 'Jandora Fur Hat' from Bliss Couture ($198L) worn with the 'Little Black Pillbox Hat' from Eclectica ($350L) that I re-colored in red tones. 

Hope you like my interpretation of the 'Take Flight Red and Black Bird' dress.

Other Stuff:

Skin: Fashion Monster Skin from Modern Gypsy (gifty skin).

Eyeliner: Tattoo Red Eyeshadow from Little Petites Details (free).

Eyeshadow: From Little Petites Details (free).

Eyes: Sunshine in Pale Steel Blue from Fashism ($150L)

Bag: From Muism (can't find it anymore)

Necklace: Timeless Knotted Necklace from Encore (store closed).

Location: Venexia.

***********************************************

Alas, Chalice checks everyday to see if the Style Academy blog want to include

her.  Woe betide, it is never good news.  Maybe one day........

***********************************************

Let Me Tell You A Secret.................

Take one striking Kimono coat ($240L) with paisley pattern from The Secret Store and one  Menorca dress ($350L) in mustard from CheerNo, Add a red knot belt ($50L) from Voix and strings of pearls from +plus that I colored to match and you have a great little look going on.

Never forget to check the permissions on your items lovies because quite often you can make color modifications that personalizes your outfit for that uniqueness we all crave.

Finding some heels for my little outfit was quite a challenge but I persevered until I came across these Loordes Of London Asrid Booties in Regal Blue ($75L) sold at the Tropicana Baazar.

I love my newest bag purchase called Resort Satchel ($250L) in Pumpkin from Leverocci.  Seriously folks.  You MUST go check out Leverocci's stuff, especially the shoes, but not before I blog them or I'll hunt you down and smack you with my purse.

As for the rest, Cha's wearing Kaja hair ($100L) in Platinum from Kik, Gold and Coral earrings from Simay Creations, Lotus ring from Kunglers, Prim nails from Pixel Mode, Claudia 2 Milky Glow skin from Laq and Love My Eyeliner and Mascara Tattoo from Boom.

Anyway that's it from me.  Hope you all had a wonderful New Year.  While I'm sad Christmas/New Year is over for another year, my body needs a serious detox so perhaps its for the best if I want to see 2013.
