Milla Michinaga's new release for her MichiMi label is a both sporty and sexy dress called Rhia. When I saw an early draft I encouraged Milla to make a few of the Rhia colors match the Pia leggings. The black Pias work well with all the colors, but so do the colors as shown here in Aqua.
Also worthy of note is that Rhia comes with both a system skirt [which I am wearing] and a sculpty prim skirt in 4 sizes!
Hair is Tiny Bird's The Knife; Skin is Brooke Catty 6 in Medium. I wore Maitreya's ChiChi pumps both for the style and the color change options, which I used with the aqua. Earrings are [Baubles] Hole in the Moon w Stars earrings - Onyx Silver.
Nicky Ree dresses are hot, hot, hot. This pre-release gown, Daphnaie, is currently on discount for group members, in the members room, until 12pm slt today (Sunday). At 1pm slt it will then go on general release in the main store.
The hand drawn textures, colours and design all make for a stunning gown. A gown that comes in many varieties… svelte, tailed, open front long skirt and full, bustled long skirt. It has a variety of attachments…sleeves, collars, headband and shoulder pieces to please anybodies fancy. Yet again Nicky has excelled herself in giving her customers choice, choice in how they want to wear it. Also choice in that she has provided a wealth of colours to choose from.
Grab this dress at discount whilst you can…you won’t be disappointed.
As soon as I opened Nicky Ree’s Cassy outfit I knew was in love. It’s a winter warmer combination including both skirt and trousers with a woollen sweater. As usual a variety of layers and colours available allow you to mix and match this outfit. However, I like it simple and am wearing just the skirt option, all in black. A little severe but I adore it. The design and textures are beyond compare.
To keep with the severe I opted for my Bax2 Boots in black with a metal heel and zip detail. These matched perfectly.
Next…skin and hair. The skin I wanted on the pale side with a blaze of colour at the lips. Fleur Allure Kitten 3 in truffle fitted the bill with those cat eye lined eyes and a slightly deep red for the lips. For the hair I thought I would keep it short…but not too neat. Truth’s Evie in night was perfect.
My usual Miriel eyes and cake lashes finished the look off.
It started with Brooke, 5th & Oxfords new skin line. When I saw the Nightfall make-ups I just knew I had to go retro.
The heavily smoky eyelids are faded to a wonderful silver/white that keeps the eyes bright and wide. The lips, a luscious pillar-box red, highly glossed, just waiting to be kissed and the beauty mark, high on the left cheekbone, make this a fantastic make up. As usual, the body is as good as the face. Wonderful shading in all the important places means you wont be embarrassed to be seen naked. Overall, both body and make up make this a perfect skin. Brooke comes in 3 skin tone, 5 varieties types and 30 make ups in total.
After deciding to go retro, I needed to find an outfit. Lucky for me that I caught Azul’s weekend sale and bought Annie on a whim. I would normally buy anything like this but as soon as I saw it I just knew it would fit the bill. Shimmery green shorts and top, with just enough detail to make it interesting. The shorts’ sides are laddered with prim bows at the bottom. The cleavage on the top is sweeping and the back wide open. The prim sleeves are both wide and pretty.
I completed the look by wearing Stiletto Moody Bare Lauren and Curios Betty Boop hair.
Ta da…lol….1930’s It girl.

I was mashing something else with the So Many Styles skirt when I saw the Grandad Sweater from League on the feed and bought it in Ecru. I love the little pattern in the knit.I am wearing it in the buttoned version. My hair is the Haiti-benefiting Sasha in Ash Blond from Maitreya. The knit cap is color change through a drop down blue menu.
I custom ordered my skin through the Soda Design system. It continues to be one of my favorites after over a year. The necklace is the old Repairs necklace, now sold at Whippet & Buck, worn in silver and lapis. Shoes are Adam n Eve's Babii in Amber and the tights are from !Ohmai in concrete.
I went to **DP**yumyum with something else in mind, but waltzed out of there with the royal tartan skirt in brown. After a bit of resizing the next question was what to wear with it. I finally settled on the Armidi {Gisaci} Classic Cashmere Turtleneck in Beige.
The !Ohmai concrete leggings lasted from the previous outfit, but this time the shoes are Maitreya's Verve in Brown. Hair is the new Patrice from Truth in Copper. And the skin is one of the lovely 5th & Oxford Brooke skins in the medium tone. Necklace is from a Kungler outfit, Nadia.
The "celestial" in the blog title refers to Jori Watler's beautiful jewelry set for her alaMood brand, of the same name made for the Rezzable cyber couture fashion showcase called “2010 – The Future is Now”. The textures are superb, the script for fitting very helpful, the prims beautifully shaped to give the pieces the weight they need--all in all "celestial!"
I'm wearing one of fashion photographer, Zoe Demar's first dress creations for Niavi at the Alite Mall. Very simple, but the line and textures are classic and the skirt moves beautifully. It's called AYO Black Solid Cocktail Dress.
My hair is Tiny Bird's The Knife in Buttermilk. July SpringPassion in Natural from PXL Creations is my skin.
MichaMi has moved from Muse to Glitter [limo below] and Milla has released some new goodies. Disclaimer, I'm the MichaMi store manager, but I wore Milla's clothes long before that, so I feel justified in saying that the Maisie top & leggings and Pia cutout leggings are up to her usual standards. I'm wearing the Maisie top in Red and the Pia leggings in Gold. As usual everything comes on every layer for the mix 'n' match maven.
Also newsworthy is that Aden is back. I am wearing Aden Autumn in Hazel. The scarf is color/pattern change via a drop down menu. Boots are the J's Ankle Boots in Sand. Skin is July Natural SpringPassion from PXL Creations. Earring are No Love Lost from Violet Voltaire. It is one of the sets currently on sale at her store for 50% off.
Achariya Maktoum has blogged hyasynth Tiramisu's new Kurai suit using myself, Azazeala Whitfield and herself as models. I love modeling for Acha as she always makes me look goood:) And hanging out with the boyz was fun :)
Polaire Aeghin has put all of her store, Prelude, on sale... there's talk of things being discontinued and something new on the horizon, but until then... I'm happy wearing the Bouquet Shirt in Green, with its sweet, but chic, flowers strewn on the front of the cardigan.
Then the question was what next? This winter I've been relying on a Sprawl oldie, back when it was Pushbutton Industries. It's *PBI* the Tweed in *ash*. Boots are Rea from Pixel Mode in Moss. Hair is Tiny Bird's new release, Love Love Love in Caramel for 50L Friday. My black undies peeking out are from Style Starts Here.
My skin is the about to be released "Brooke" from 5th & Oxford. I'm wearing Natural 5 in the Medium tone with freckles even! Brooke is a bit more edgy that Audrey and I like her:)
I have an embarrassing backlog of posts to do, but sometimes you end up in outfits that just blog so easily. Hence these two for a Sunday.
The first resulted from the perfect marriage of the !lamb Bang Bang Bob hairstyle in Butterfinger, still available for 50l Fridays through today and the Tuli Eva group gift skin in tone 3. Somehow the colors and textures just seemed to work. I love the slightly ragged edges in the hair, much more realistic than an even line. BTW Tuli's Eva, at least the gift one, has eyelashes on the skin. When well done, as these are, that is a real plus. Then the Dark MouseM Spheres in Peridot Necklace - Copper finished the look. I changed in MichaMi's Laila in Wine, as I'm not allowed to show you what's about to be new at MichaMi :)
The second outfit started with the Stitch top from Sweetest Goodbye, which I had seen on the feed. The question then became how to select the rest of the outfit. Violet Voltaire's No Love Lost set was easy. It shared that edginess that the top has. But black trousers just didn't work, nor did really brown ones either. So I am wearing the Isabeaux leather pants in brown [really a kind of greenish brown] from LF Fashion and some old Liah boots in Gunmetal for Jaywalk, alas no longer available. The hair is the new Eva from Exile in Auburn. It's a bit too ladylike for the rest of the outfit, but oh well :)
Again thanks are due to the 37 bloggers who took up my 3 Little Things challenge:
Yes, I risked the lag at The Designers United shop/event….at least I rezzed everything for once, I know not why though…lol.
I thought I’d blog a couple of things I picked up, out the many….yeah, I love circus and Vaudeville…just call me a magpie…lol.
My first is Ohami’s Dorothy Corset and Mildred skirt. So pretty in detail, texture and colour; so delicate too. To me it screamed of ballet...so that’s the look I went for. Having bought the vintage mint corset I decided to use the gold ballet pumps by Slink and I used Slinks ballet poses that came with the fatpack.
My second it equus’s Prima Donna. This is pure circus…from the vibrant colours, gold and flame red, to the design of corset, handless gloves and scupty flower skirt that’s a short tutu with a long back. Again, I used Slinks ballet pumps, this time in red. I feel I should be flying on a trapeze in a big top. Absolutely a beautiful creation.
