52 Week Colour Challenge, Sky Blue

Sky Blue…this weeks challenge colour. I do have quite a bit of blue in my ‘wardrobe’ and I knew exactly what I wanted to share with you all.

Baiastice Silk hug dress in sky is just perfect for this week. Ideal for that desperate housewife who loves to shop or the power dressing business lady who likes to stay feminine. An under lace vest is overlaid with wide ‘straps’ that covers the bust...see picture. A wide wrap around ‘cummerband’ style, sashed waist starts from beneath the bust and finishes just on the hip. Below this sits a system skirt. The design and textures make this dress a delight to wear.

The rest is my usual except for the addition of make up, Kyoot’s Feline (Cold Coast) make up accentuates the dress with blue eyeshadow.

52 Week Colour Challenge...Cerise

Cerise…well, I am not a huge fan of pink but I do kind of like cerise. That said I don’t have much in the way of cerise in clothing.

After a short search I rediscovered Mimikri’s gift of a while ago, the Seduction hot pink. A system, knee length dress made of beautiful lace. The beautiful touch being the wide waistband sash and big bow at the back made from satin. It reminds me of a cocktail and contemporary version of the Monroe dress when she sang Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend.

I used PXL Creations Candy skin, Lime, to compliment and contrast the dress.

I found a couple of Dressing Room treats that matched this chic dress…*YS&YS* Stiletto Baby and booN LOK255 hair pink. Then another gift finished the look, GaNKeD Suri Rose necklace and earrings.

Thinking about what to do for the shoot I remembered a Juicy gift, Shopping Girl, with pose and shopping bag props. To add to this I also used a recent purchase of DM poses, Toxic Model and Exquisite.

A Feast of Undies

After seeing WTWs new underwear on Beanie Loves Japan! blog I popped over there and took a look at the new creations. I picked up 3 sets that appealed to me. All the underwear from WTW has excellent textures, colours and design. They are sexy, girl next door type undies…not out and out sex siren. I love them.

This purchase coincided with my visit to Attituede and being like a kid in a candy store, it was a question of restraint. I picked up the Swing! which is a wooden seated swing with flowers and four poses. I thought it an ideal way of showcasing the underwear.

Then I had a meadow full of flowers in my head as a location shoot. It had to be somewhere I could rezz objects too. So, I scanned one of the Flickr groups until I saw such a location. It’s wonderful and I will go back to explore more:

Uncle Sam

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends.

I put this outfit together last year for a very dear friend of mine. However, he has never seen it as he always goes away for the holidays…lol.

So, I figured I’d blog it instead…lol.

I started with SFD uncle sam costume for females. It consists of a lovely tailored, navy waistcoat with a flash of white stars down the one side. The hotpants are the classic red and white vertical stripes with a navy, white starred belt. The belt has a solid looking USA silver buckle. All are system and come in many layers so you can wear however you want. The top hat is included , this is basically a red and white striped hat with an American flag tied as its hat band. It fits beautifully. Also included in the folder are matching boots but I decided not to use them.

Instead I used the Juicy Classic Pump - Stars And Stripes , which I am not sure are available anymore…so apologies if not. As you can see, beautifully crafted high heel pumps with navy with white starred heels and the front of the shoe are red and white stripes.

When choosing the physical attributes I went for the girl next door feel. The Fleur Allure Cinnamon Smudged 1 skin seemed to fit very nicely for that tanned, ‘no make-up’ look. Of course I had to have blonde hair and blue eyes…yes I know I stereotyped. I used ETD Sideswipe - Dirty Blonde and (Miriel) Eyes - Blue Opal (Big).

I kept the accessories simple…the TWEED heart necklace tinited red and a custom tattoo commissioned by me about 2 years ago.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting this together but I got ribbed by a Canadian friend for turning up like it to his studio..lol. Needless to say, it was Canada Day so I went and appeased him with a Canadian outfit..lol. ..but that’s for another day.

Ivalde...Cocktail Dresses

For my last tribute post to Ivalde I have chosen to showcase 2 of the cocktail dresses I have in my inventory.

The first is a retro champagne coloured Ivalde Idunn 1950 dress with the exquisite detail and texturing that nefaria always delivers. The bust and sleeves are 'brocaded', the bodice a tightly wrapped corset with prim bow and a full, knee length flexi skirt (a system skirt is also provided with the outfit). The design is wonderful, the colour delicious and the texturing magnificent.

To compliment the dress I chose a Fleur skin, ETD hair and Armidi shoes (not shown).

My second choice is a more contempory Ivalde Randaline black dress, with a tulip shaped bust in white, bodice corset in black and a wonderful tulip shaped 'puff' skirt with a net overlay. The design again is outstanding, the colour contrast works well and the textures are detailed and awesome.

With this dress I wore a Fleur skin, Cake hair and Juicy shoes.

I wish Nefaria all the best with her rl health and family...from what I have read she is a lovely person and will not only be missed for her creativity but her personality too. Hurry back Nefaria.

Uncle Wiggily, Part 2

After posting Part 1 of this Uncle Wiggily blog I still had to shoot Part 2. Just when I had finished that shoot a lovely surprise and a im was dropped on me by Esme Michigan. She thanked me for the blog…my pleasure…and dropped me her latest release…Uncle Wiggily green quilt dress. So…no choice but to shoot this lovely gift…please see the first shot…me jumping for joy…lol.

In this Part 2, I am covering the flexi dresses that I splurged (well, hardly) on. Again...the textures are superb, the quality excellent and the flexi skirts gorgeous. Guaranteed I will be going back for more!

Uncle Wiggily, Part 1

I was inspired to revisit Uncle Wiggily by Sam wearing one of their flexi dresses. What I didn’t realise was that I’d go mad in there and buy loads of dresses.

Part 1 is all the system dresses I picked up, naughty but at such prices how could I resist? Even though system all these dresses are well made with wonderful textures…it would be nice if all system clothes were this well made and thought out. I am a fan of this creator, no doubt about it!

ColeMarie Soleil, Part 2

I first saw this outfit on Flickr a while back on Skycat Rangers page and thought ‘hmmm ColeMarie is making clothes again’. Then I saw the talented young lady herself at an event wearing the same dress and that was it, I wanted it…lol. So, just before Christmas I followed ColeMarie’s links to her new outlet…Cole’s Corner…and purchased the outfit, Snow Sprite.

It’s fun, it’s mainly attachments…lol…I think I am way more well endowed than ColeMarie as I had to tweak the chest attachments to keep me modest…lol….and it’s the kind Liz Hearly event dress to wear to steal the show.

Again, I didn’t wear all the options…so the wrist cuffs are not shown here. However, I did choose to wear the particles because I think they bring the whole outfit together. The top and skirt could be pieces of art in themselves, the skirt sporting a wonderful light halo as a hem. You can have it in any colour as long as it is white…lol…and boy, is it ever white…lol.

ColeMarie..keep creating please. Your outfits are fun, refreshing and original.
