IFW10 :: Designer's Choice

I asked two of the designers at IFW10 to pick a dress for me and this is the result:) [I have trouble asking for review copies so this is a way of making me seem less greedy for specific item. Plus I get surprised! And I get to meet great people:)]


First Sonia28 Jie of Son!a Luxury Fashion gave me Meena. Not what I usually wear *coughs* but I must say with Bubbles Clawtooth's Twinkle Toast hair and some old *YS*YS* group gift shoes plus PXL Creations' new Candy skin in red lips/natural I was ready for the challenge. The roses and the gold chains that hold the "top" together seemed quite enough decoration, considering the beautifully detailed skirt. This dress will knock a lot more than someone's socks off :)



Gina Beaumont of Angel Dessous dressed me more modestly and, to be honest I was eyeing this one. This is Carrie Metallica. The textures on the jacket, top and skirt are detailed, soft and elegant. The jacket is entirely prim and it comes decorated with an additional matching brooch. Since any necklace would knock one of them off I decided that this dress could also stand on its own. Still wearing Twinkle Toast and PXL Creation's new Candy skin in bronze lips/natural.

Snuggling in for the winter...

It's getting d**n cold here now, and even with the sun out, the brisk wind is a not so gentle reminder of what's to come. So I've been wandering around my beach house wearing legwarmers LOL.

But it's all an excuse to wear Elinor from DCNY. I seldom shop there, but I fell for the colorful bird on the sweater and the fluttery and a bit ragged skirt. I would have preferred a prim belt to the one on the system layer, but that's a small beef. My earrings are Miel's 50 Linden Friday ones from yesterday, which are perfect with this cold season look. Stocking are Ajour in Mud from Mimikri. The big story are the legwarmers though. I tried everywhere. I had a friend ask on Fashion Emergency [a casualty of the 25 group limit], but finally I bought the ones at Ducknipple. But alas they didn't match, so I copied the right ankle prim and plopped it on my left ankle and edited. And yes, those are Stiletto Moody's Bitch Booties peeking out.

The main events are Truth's Cameron hair in Auburn. It's one of the most flattering styles for me in a long while. Same deal with the new N2 Elizabeth skin from the most generous, Annyka Bekkers. I'll show you more soon, but this is the Granny Apple 2.2, that is, the second makeup in Tone B. The light smattering of face freckles are a real delight.



I fell in love with Linnea from Angel Dessous on the feed. I struggled over the color in the store, but in the end the Beige won out because the sparkly parts on the belt and sleeve were more subtle and it reminded me of snow. It comes with the long socks, as well as many other variations on the neckline, including a hoodie version. Maitreya's Bloom boots in white came out of hiding to complete the look. Hair is fri.day's Allison in Scornful Red, skin is my new standby, Kim Spring Rose in Natural. My earrings are Ice Queen from Random Calliope, a present from my fellow blogger, Noena.
