Orient Express-ion in Mu-dan by Lurani.

Don't hide in the shadows. Come out into the light wearing a new release dress from Lurani called Mu-dan. Created in three amazing colors, black, red and white, Mu-dan is everything mysterious and inspiring that you expect from a design that encapsulates the wonders of Asia.

The dress interplays with the light and is reminiscent of raw heavy silk with fine piping along the bodice and straps. The dramatic Asian bustle adornment is simply stunning and gives the dress a life force of it's own.

I wanted to show the white and red dress too but I'm under the pump with things to blog so you will all have to visit Lurani to decide which color is for you. The dress comes with a shirt, undershirt, pants, skirt, skirt prims, sculpted collar and the belt with 3 versions.

It's lovely to add an injection of mystique into your formal wear and this dress certainly does that.

Dating Me In Elymode.

I don't need a date. I'm wearing Elymode. Actually I don't need a date because I'm married in RL but you get the picture. Wearing Elymode and looking as gorgeous as this, well Chalice is never lonely.

The top and skirt from Elymode are called Pacifica and I've chosen to show it in black; however, its also available in green, purple and blue. Ely has been busy with her silk worms again, because the material is lustrous and looks as if it has been spun with silver thread.

I accessorized heavily in silver, donning a buxom feather hair needle because when in doubt, wear a feather. Silver scarf, ring, bangle and bag complete the black/silver combo.

I was utterly thrilled to be able to wear my LeLutka skin black hair base with the gorgeous hair attachment from Vanity Hair. I personally love the melding of these two items creating a slick, classic style.

If you want to date yourself in Elymode, I highly recommend it. I was the best date I ever had.

SL WE HAVE A PROBLEM. Don't tell me we're going down this road again. Remember the system skirt issue of a couple of years ago? This is happening too often lately when I log in. Is there a Mr Fix It in the house?
