New Dreams ...

Estelle Parnell's new Glamazon Monique corset and feather skirt in blue is an amazing concoction of feathers and laces. You get three very different light and feathery skirts. In the middle image I am wearing the glitch pants for the closed skirt because I wanted you to see just how feathery the feathers are and how careful Estelle has been with the details, even those you don't see.

Jori Watler, of Pretties has taken to jewelry design with as much éclat as she did to shoes. Her new brand, > alaMood <, will open soon. Keep an eye out! This is the Alkahi Dew Choker & earrings.

Other details:
(Shiny Things) Tuli Pumps - black with blue bows [color change]

Nice Newness and Some Not So New

When Estelle Parnell of Lost Dreams drops a new dress on me I've learned to scurry to a safe corner, unpack it and try it on, which is followed, more often than not, by happy sounds. Such was the case with her new Abbey, which I am wearing in Pink. It is a simple design, yet wonderful in movement. The flexi bits move beautifully, despite being an alpha pain in the a** to photograph. Finding a good necklace was hard as many "bumped" the chest prims and/or disappeared into the floaty bits. I finally settled on Alienbear Gupte's Teardrop set in Peach. Even so the teardrop of the necklace has tucked itself under the flutters. Hair is ETD's Tiana in Auburn Burnt, skin is Crurio Sugarplum with freckles in Lumine. Shoes are the new Satin Gladiators from Polina Kaestner, which I had on from the picture below. They worked so they stayed!



I'm wearing some older items from Style Starts Here in order to show off the new scarf and shoes from Polina Kaestner. The shoes are the Satin Gladiators in Beige worn also above. The scarf is one of the nicest I have seen on the grid. It is called Carre de soie and I'm wearing it in orange. It has that Parisian je ne sais quoi of a designer silk scarf that we all hanker after. Hair is Truth's Ivy in Apricot and my skin is Tuli Meredith Captivating Copper 3 in Pale. The SSH items are the Inked Jeans and the White Crossover Knot Top.

My poses are from AnnaH/StoRin, Luth, Analu, Flowey and [LAP] --thank you ladies for making me look less like a noob :)

Two for the Hounds

Houndstooth that is :)



I saw the [Y.M.X.] houndstooth dress black on the fashion feed and wanted it, but waited to blog it until now when I found its soulmate at Lost Dreams :) The pattern on the dress is somewhat similar, but it's the cut and details that makes then into two different looks. On the Y.M.X. dress I adore the little bow and the heart buttons, as well as the black band around the neck and down the front. My shoes are the ETD Heel Strap Platforms in Black. I have not a clue where my hair is from--I was in a "let's explore other hair just in case..." My skin is Tuli's Group Gift Meredith Starshine 3 in Sunkissed. Earring are the Gypsy Soul Earrings from Love Chic in Gold.



Houndstooth is also the inspiration for Estelle Parnall's Lost Dreams Phoebe Houndstooth Dress. Same pattern, same attention to nice little details, but a very different dress. Here I adore the belt Buckle prim as well as the little cross stitches around the deep scoop neckline. This dress is a little more racy than the Y.M.X, so something for every taste! I'm wearing ETD's Loraine 2 in Auburn, Fleur's Spring Shoujo 5 in Azalea and ETD's peep Toe Slingbacks in Black. My jewelry is Primagine's RFL Everday, on sale to benefit cancer research through July 19.

Poses are by Flowey and Dove Swanson.

My conclusion? Houndstood is the the new black.

Lost Dreams . . . . . . . . . Can be found!

Just before the RFL Clothing Fair Estelle Parnall, the creator behind Lost Dreams, asked for volunteer models from her update group. I was lucky enough to be asked to pose for her in these two beautiful dresses, the Ellie Black Evening Dress & the Glamazon Ruby Red Dress. They are available at her store now. Ellie is in the main room while Ruby is to the right in the Glamazon section with other goodies :)


The Glamazon Ruby Red Dress is a nicely textured slinky dress with a sleeveless top crowned by a sparkling diamond collar. I'm wearing ETD's Aiiyanna in Smoke and Celestal Studio's Deviant Nation Vogue Vamp-Beguile in Champagne.



Ellie is a stunning full-length slender formal. The minute it rezzed on me for the shoot I started purring. The texture of the top is detailed and elegant. Hair is ETD Patricia in Caramel Burnt and my skin is a Custom Soda in Sand.

The jewelry in both pictures is the Vine necklace and earrings created by Dexter Bachman available at his store in Porcupine as well as at Bellissima. Shoes are moot LOL
