Summer Loving At Casa Del Shai

The lovely Shai Delacroix, fashion designer extraordinaire of Casa Del Shai fame, sent me her new Summer 2010 release of this gorgeous dress called La Eleganza. Shai has been making hand-painted and sculpted clothing in SL since 2006 and at the Fashion Blogger's Choice Awards of 2007 was voted 'Best of' in many categories. One can only imagine that what Shai doesn't know about SL clothing construction is hardly worth mentioning.

La Eleganza is as the name implies. Elegant, stylish and classic, the dress is timeless in its appeal. A perfect and versatile dress for any occasion.  I imagine it going along on your summer vacation and seeing lots of action.

Case Del Shai is full of amazing fashion and I urge you to take a trip there and engorge yourself on all that fabulousness.

I just had to get into my new Inaya skins again. This one is Maori and I just think the face is totally divine.

Skin: Maori Meia skin by Inaya Skins
Hair: Anda in Brown by Mirai Style Hair Salon
Eyes: Twilight Eyes (Bella) by Exodi
Nails: Gold by J's
Dress: La Eleganza in Cocoa by Casa Del Shai
Shoes: Aequus in Gold with Brown ankle wrap by Maitreya Gold
Bracelets: Tennis Bracelet by Aluinn

Look At Me, Look At Me, Look At Me.

The dress is Niven called Kashmir Konnection and a real fav of mine. I think Scarlett Niven's extreme talent must have sent her mad because she's selling this dress for the meager sum of $10L. I mean that is insane but thank you Scarlett...I love this profusion of color and texture. Look at the quirky brooch that hangs over the chest...it's gorgeous.

I am wearing my new favorite skin from Inaya called Kimshara. It has a dark hair base just perfect to attach Inaya's Maya hair piece that hangs over one eye...it's edgy I think.

These pictures are taken at a cool sim called Viceland. Not that you can see from these pics, but its awesome for photo taking so take a trip there and let your imagination run free.

Take care everyone. It's a long weekend in Australia for the Queen's Birthday. Poor people from the U.K. don't even get to have a day off. Happy Birthday Lizzie (and I don't mean Lizzie Lexington although if it's your birthday too, Happy Birthday Lizzie L.). 

Not that it will ever be read by them but I wanted to send a message of condolence to all the Linden Lab employees that have unfortunately been let go.  One third of the workforce is a lot of people and I can't help but wonder what impact this will have on service.  I do want to say thank you to all of you who have undoubtedly contributed in a multitude of ways to maintaining and improving SL and I wish you all the very best in whatever you do.  I know we all hark on about performance etc but we do keep coming back to this virtual existence and I for one think its brilliant and fun and addictive.

From the people I've got to know and observe, it's not a outlet for socially inept losers but in the main, it attracts incredibly talented and forward thinking people who all have a story.  SL take a bow.

Inaya Skins....You Simply MUST Try Them

I just can't say this any plainer. If you do nothing when you log in, TP to Inaya Skins and try on the demo's. You absolutely must. I was contacted by Sandro Fratica in-world asking if I would be interested in featuring these new skins in my blog. Sandro is co-owner along with skin designer, Naalyeh Raleigh. I visited their store and Sandro kindly handed me a blogger package containing these new skins that had only days ago been released.

People...OMG. I am in love...LOVE I tell you and I want to share it. Only you know if you love a skin when you try it on but please, do yourself a little favor and just see if you love them as much as I do.

In my rush to get this post out, I haven't had time to show all the line but I will finish them off in a day or two. These will just have to tide you over in the meantime. I always struggle with profiling skins in respect to the pictures. I thought this would be the easiest way to show you the full length and face without overdoing it with individual pictures. These were shot in world with no post work in an attempt to give you a fair representation of the skin. If they look this good raw, imagine how they'll look with you all tarted up?

Sandro and Naalyeh you have an amazing line of skins on your hands and I simply can't wait to see it grow and prosper. I just can't express how I love these skins and will be keeping an eagle eye on all of your upcoming releases.

There are hair bases, freckles, teeth and hair attachments for sale but I recommend you just go there and try them all on.
