52 MAUVE

This week I'm just as bad as Fury * hangs head*. I'm just back from 2 weeks away and now Relay for Life of SL is looming... so... another *blast from the past*

from Wednesday, July 14, 2010
I first met Geryn Sloane of GS Couture at The 2010 Clothing Fair, where I made her give me the dress off her back! Thus I am VERY pleased to be blogging one of her dresses from IFW10. It's called Chocolate Covered Cherry and, aside from making me hungry, I love its retro look and use of the system skirt. Jewelry was hard to find, but I chose Luc's Butterfly Frolic to tie together the Sea makeup [again PXL's Candy]. The blue picks up that tint in the dress I think.I'm also wearing the *eha hair again as well as Stiletto Moody shoes. See below for the details.

IFW10: SWANSONG's Mirage and Wisp

Before the International Fashion Week 2010 I never realized that AtomicSparkle Skytower of Atomic Bambi had another brand, SWANSONG. Obviously I do now and am happy I have been introduced. She kindly made Wisp and Mirage available to me to show you.



Both dressed share a tight strapless bodice and a full skirt, but then they diverge. Wisp is a luxurious intricately wrapped and draped dress, while Mirage is softer and floaty with a more corset-type bodice. Both are beautiful and available in a number of colors. I'm showing Wisp in Lavender and Scarlet. Skin is PXL Creations' new Candy in Natural with red lips and Cateyes with pale lips. Hair is Love Soul's *023-A* in Auburn. Shoes for the Lavender are Vanessa by Lyra Muse, no longer available. Jewelry is the Diamond Vine Silver from Dex's Jewelry. For the Scarlet Wisp I'm wearing slingbacks in Rose & Gold from Stiletto Moody and the New Grazia necklace and earrings from Lucas Lameth.


I'm wearing Mirage in Mint Green and Nude. Unlike the sculpty skirt of Wisp which moves as a unit, this skirt is flexi and floats. The jagged edge works more softly that it looks in a static picture. Skin is PXL's Candy Cateyes/Pale Lips in Natural, shoes again by Lyra Muse. Jewelry is from Dark Mouse. the Vintage 50's Diamond Pearl Set. Hair is !lamb Bang Bang Bob in Rotten Carrot. All poses are from /GEEZ/.

Now that IFW10 is almost over, you can look for these dresses at the SWANSONG store.

IFW10 :: Blogger's Choice

I was fortunate enough to be selected to blog the International Fashion Week 2010, which opens at 1pm SLT, tomorrow, Thursday, July 15 and runs through Sunday, July 18. Don't try the link until then k? Patty Cortes and her staff have done a super job bringing together many of the best fashion forward designers on the grid. Today I'm sharing a couple of my choices, which the designers kindly made available to me.



First up is Summer Dress Bouquet from Shiki Design. The funny thing is I actually acquired this at The 2010 RFL Clothing Fair, but due to a renaming or some such, choose it again. I guess I must like it no? The textures are floral and summery the bodice is done in such a way that the connection between the prims skirt and the top are barely noticeable. Other than the inevitable alpha in a skirt of this design, this is a beauty:) I'm also wearing the new Candy skin from PXL Creations. I'm always a slow adopter, so I wasn't sure I could move from Kim to July to Candy. But each time I have, happily.After a period of time LOL Shoes are the exquisite Jane Wedges from Shiny Things. And jewelry is from the talented Lucas Lameth of (luc) Fashion Jewelry, bought when it was still Earthtones. Hair is from *eha, very cutting edge. See details below for um yeah DETAILS.

More coming soon from IFW10

New from Elika and First from Mouse!

This is a hair blogging day. I'm wearing one of Elika's new styles in the new [and wonderful] textures, as well as Mouse Mimistrobell's first hair. I'm wearing both styles with ETD's Scoop Neck Tops and Callie Cline's new jeans, plus Detour and Tommyboy sneakers. My skin is my new custom one from Soda Designs.



The first style I'm sharing is one of ETD's new styles in Elika's all new textures, Torwen in Auburn. It is very loose, wish yummy alpha bits that flutter and give the hair a lightness despite it's bulk. Welcome back Elika! My jewelry is Primagine's RFL Everday set donated to help riaise money for cancer research. You can get it in her store on Kilimarta as well as the Passionate Redheads RFL Shop on Sacre Bleu.




Next is Mouse's first and, so far, only hairstyle [will get name when inworld next] in Dark Blonde. It was an April Group Gift. Those of us on Plurk have been commenting on various stages in the development of this style and, I have to say, for a first attempt it is light years better than much that I have seen around the grid. I love the wavy bang across the forehead and the straight long ponytail from the poofed back. Mousie -- please make it in red :) Jewelry is the new Gaea necklace from Lucas Lameth in Coral & Gold. It's a bit dressy for the outfit, but it's *my* Second Life (tm)

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