And The Winner Is...Nardcotix and Boho Hobo.

I love Nardya Rousselot's Nardcotix label and am always thrilled to receive a little package in the mail from her.  This time my jaw dropped lower than ever before as I tried on the Miranda wedges in divine blue.  The shortened edgy heel and delicately folded bows at the back make this a very special shoe indeed.

Aren't they simply gorgeous?  At only $520L a pair, these are an investment in style.  Take your pick of black, blue, brown, nude, olive, red and tempered or get the fat pack for only $1,850L. 

Trill Zapatero from Boho Hobo recently sent me this amazing crushed velvet coat in claret that is utterly superb.  Trimmed with silver and lovely silver applique buttons, the coat is everything a boho style purist would expect..

It's Show Time With LionSkins And Friends.

A  wizard, Fro, who loved to create beautiful woman had gone insane from all the beauty he had created. As a result, his models began to deteriorate.  In horror the wizard ran to the strongest witch he knew, her name was Lio.

Because of the wizards selfish needs, the great witch Lio cursed the wizard by making his beautiful models, not into the ethereal beauties he had created, but into decayed beings.  The witch called them the BLOODY'S LINE and the models began  a new fashion era in Boulevard City, strutting their zombified skins with intense ferocity.

With the help of other witches from the land, the BLOODY'S LINE created clothing, poses and shoes that matched their transformation in a beautifully horrific way.

Let's Twist Again.

Crack open the Twister, Cha Cha's found the most adorable retro bikini from Kid Asia.  I loved it in the store and it looks even better worn.  I do have a thang for retro swimwear and this little number is right down my bowling alley. 

Aida Oxygen  from Aushka & Co. Poses sent me a lovely note and some wonderful poses from her last release, one of which is shown above.  Thank you ever so much Aida.  I LOVE your poses and will be using them a lot in my posts so please keep your eye out when I credit them in future.  Trying out new poses always makes me happy because when you think of it, they are so integral to our avatar when photographing fashion and good poses bring us all to life.

I picked up this Twister set a while ago from croire knowing it would come in handy for a shoot someday.

Hair, Hair Base and Skin:  LAQ.

Chalice Wears Elan.

A long standing model friend of mine, Temperance Moonites, Manager and PR at Elan Fashion kindly sent me a couple of fab outfits to blog.  Alatiel Malies Wylie is the owner/designer of Elan Fashion and I must say I love these two outfits from the label.

The first shown is called Feline comprised of the skirt, jacket and beaded corset top.  Always a nice surprise, it needed no tweaking from me and fit perfectly.

A great match with my new Nardcotix Edna Platform Pumps in brown kindly sent by the amazing Ms Nardya Rousselot...thank you sweet Nardya.  Chal is in love with these.

Truth's new hair release Isla With Roots and hair base is scrum-a-licious and I'm thrilled to see Mr H using hair bases of such fine quality.  Yay for us.

I also found this gorgeous snakeskin clutch at Indyra Originals after scouring the grid for the right bag.  The earrings and necklace called Perola I found at Kunglers and just had to have them.  They are the most amazing collection of colored beads I've seen in SL.

Now the second outfit from Elan Fashion is the Teal Chic Tank and USA Shorts, a fun, casual ensemble (me fave word) perfect for summer - sorry kids but summer's coming in my neck of the woods.

Look at that glorious teal.  I again wore some Nardcotix magic in the recently released Sharna Pumps with color change options.

Thank you to Tempy for sending these outfits and to Alatiel for making them.  You simply must drop by Elan Fashion and check out both levels where you'll find absolutely great fashion for a great price.

Nardcotix Takes Over Second Life.

Nardya Rousselot makes stunning shoes., there's absolutely no disputing that.  How lucky are we that she has expanded her Nardcotix label to include the most amazing dresses and hats on the grid.  I spied them at Modavia Fashion Week and was utterly impressed with what I saw but when I received them one morning when I logged on (thanks Nardya x), upon closer inspection on Chal's body, well they are even more beautiful than in the pictures.  Her talents in millinery are unrivaled in my opinion and I take great pleasure in showcasing her work.
