50 Shades of Sexy, Discipline

 

 

Initial thoughts were to go with leather or latex but then thought softer and sexier....besides I adore this lingerie and it seemed like a good excuse to don it :)

The Omega Photo Shoot

Why, I hear you ask, am I dressed in a beautiful gown and covered in mud and sand? Well, as this is going to be a quickie, please see my Flickr page to find out. Anyway, I decided to turn the shoot into a blog post too.

The dress, new to me and a gift, is Azul’s Velma in ice. A stunning creation with extraordinary textures on both the system pieces and the flexi skirt frills. The satin is so good that I just want to touch it to see how smooth it is. This dress is both sexy and classy.

I chose PXL Creations Candy skin NAT Orange to contrast the ice blue of the dress and in keeping with its elegance too. Hair was Truth’s Midori with an Amacci Hair base tattoo, eyes were Miriels, and feet, were of course, Slink’s tiptoes.

To create the scene I wanted to portray I was also wearing an AITUI TATTOO, [Stellar] Sand Covered and .dystopia. mud bath layers, thanks to the multi layering system in the viewer I was using.

Location was Lost World and the sky preset was Dusty in the Kirsten viewer.

Winter is icumin in

With apologies to Ezra Pound and thanks to Puma Jie for her Blogger's Challenge. Three fall looks. I do love Autumn, but unfortunately winter follows... Until then I will enjoy the crisp days.



First up is the Diana skirt in brown from Kunglers, which I have paired with Muism's Superfine Polo neck in chocolate and Lyra Muse's Liah Boots in Gunmetal [no longer available alas:(] Skin is Curio's Breeze 2/Mudslide in Petal. Hair is City Life in Chestnut from FuseMelon & earrings are Divine Deco in Gold from Dark Mouse. I love the skirt as it comes in 3 sections--helpful for adjusting to your shape.



Next is the Ibizarre Highwaist Tweed Set, which comes with a useful black turtleneck. I love the tiered sculpty skirt and the buttoned high waist. My skin is PXL Creations Kim Spring Rose in Natural. The hair is Olivia in Henna from Amacci. Stocking are Dots from *Sheer*. Shiny Things/ Hyasynths in black adorn my feet. Last the jewelry set is from [chuculet], their sofia in gold/crocodile.



Last, but far from least I am wearing the BettiePage Voyager old fashioned CHIDORI skirt in brown houndstooth. It has a convenient resizer, but I guess my hips are wrong for it as I had trouble getting it to look perfect. But it's so charnming that a little less is okay :) Everything else I am wearing is the same as the first outfit, except my hair is Wren by Philotic Energy, still available in a small store across from Aems' new store, FuseMelon.

All poses from the [LAO] Female Bloggers set.

Happy Autumn All!

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin"

And dancing and prancing and ... wearing around SL in general. Thanks to Damen Gorilla's creativity, they are all MINE. And thanks also to Damen I am poorer LOL. I KNEW I wanted the Fawn ones the minute I saw the ad picture on Plurk.

I pretty much wore them with what I had on for the last post, except I exchanged the blue checked gauze shirt for the L$1 pink one, matching my new boots nicely:) The closeup on the right shows the lovely rounded collar as well as the Dead Fish Earrings in Silver from Dark Mouse.

Other details:
Poses are still from [pda]
Hair: Olivia in Henna from Amacci
Skin: Parfait 1 in Strawberry from Fleur [only at their Rue D'Antibes store]

Humming along...

This post could also be titled "I (heart) Beaning Canning." As well as "I (heart) Samara Cioc. The reasons will be come clear :)

The post started with the check gauze shirt in blue from ::humming::, which came to my attention via Beanie's blog, Beanie Loves Japan, a resource for all of us who enjoy the Japanese creators in SL, but lack the language skills or time to seek out what Beanie so generously shares with us. The texture and collar are totally sweet. I paired the shirt with the Whippet & Buck Stein tailored shorts in Indigo and my favorite summer soles, SueShoo in White from Periquita.

My poses are from [pda] aka Penny Dreadful Arcade. Samara Cioc's poses are full of quirkiness with many drawing on film imagery. It was fun to break out of the modeling pose range for this outfit. So many thanks to Beanie and Samara :)

Other details:
Earrings: Retro Daisies from Dark Mouse
Hair: Olivia in Henna from Amacci
Skin: Parfait 1 in Strawberry from Fleur [only at their Rue D'Antibes store]

The Knobby Hair Post

After I saw Amacci's new Olivia on the feed I knew it was mine. I like it a LOT, especially the knobs and the escaping tendrils, but after a minute of mulling, I realized I had a number of knobby styles in my inventory. Hence the post title.



I'm wearing Olivia in Henna from the Copper pack. Top is from the new Ibizarre Tweed set. The earrings are the Sofia ones from [chuculet]. Skin is my new standby, Kim Natural Spring Rose from PXL Creations and my eyes are from poetic colors, the Summer-Lavender Field.



And here are the knobs I can remember owning approximately in order of acquisition:
Top row l/r:
Annie May III in Smolder from Celestial Studios; Patootie in Auburn Burnt from ETD
Bottom row l/r:
Christy in Auburn from Deviant Kitties; The Art Teacher in Nutmeg from Tiny Bird.

Each is different from the others, but all share that wonderful knobbiness that seems to entrance me.

Me and My Shadow

It started with 5th & Oxford dropping both their yet to be released skins and cocktail dresses on Samara and myself. Then, inspired by Achariya and Mourna’s joint posts, Sam and I agreed to do likewise.

The 5th&Oxford Summer Cocktail skins have the Audrey base with a new set of fresh, vibrant makeups. We both chose to wear the medium skin tone…Sam went for the simple, elegant make up no.5 with its ‘natural’ eyes and classic red lips. I chose the flashier no.6 with its blue eyes and rose lips. All the make ups are suitable for that cocktail party look.

The Cocktail Dresses that will be released at the same time as the skins are the typical quality and design we have come to expect of this creative pair. The dress is a retro styled system dress with prim details. The plunging neckline keeps this dress sassy, the vibrant colours match the make ups wonderfully and the design and textures are perfect. The prim sleeves finish the top beautifully and the wide prim belt completes the dress. Sam is wearing the dress in ‘Blue Lagoon’ as being a redhead it suited her and I wore ‘Cosmo’ as the red suited my colouring. There are 6 colours in total to chose from, one to suit everybody.

Next came the shoes…Sam dug into her inventory and after several tries decided upon the ETD peeps slingbacks in blue. I, on the other hand, knew exactly which shoes would complement the dress…AC Sasy Chic in Passion. Both sets of shoes complemented the classical, elegant look.

Keep an eye open for the skin and dress releases at http://roslinpetion.blogspot.com/

Sam suggested the title and no shadows were harmed in the making of this blog.

It's all about MichaMi!

As was announced yesterday Milla Michinaga has asked me to be Store Manager at MichaMi and I accepted happily :) While I miss Milla's fashion blog, at least now we get her fashion eye in her own creations. Speaking of which, I had these two outfits in the pipeline and what better time to share them with you as I begin my new duties:)




Above is the Selma camisole and shorts in Mint. The dotted swiss pattern on the cami doesn't show up as well as I'd like, but it's there. It's a bit sheer, although your "assets" benefit from a lovely built in bra look. The puffy shorts are a lot of fun to wear too! My belt is the Disk Belt Silver, by Mix and Match. I saw it on the feed and had to have it. It only comes on the jacket layer, but for L$50 I can live with that. Besides Milla *always* provides everything on every layer. My shoes are the Satin Bow-Tied in Green, now in their discount room for L$100. My earrings are Lucas Lameth's Dragonflies, now discontinued :( PXL Creations skin, Grace Cateyes/Rose Lips with Freckles in Natural is gracing my pixels. My hair is Deviant Kitties' Christy in Auburn.





In the second photo-collage I am wearing The Laila top from MichaMi in Cream with the Cigarette Pants from Michami's Joanie in gray. Laila does have its own wonderful trousers, but I like the little bit a of skin that shows on the side with the pair from Joanie. Shoes are, again, from the Shiny Things Discount area, the Lady Zig Zags in Fawn. I remember drooling over these when they were much much more. They are pre-sculpty, but still oh so good. My jewelry is the Platinum Spyraea Necklace & Earrings from Sue Stonebender's Appetite & Eve Jewelry Salon. My hair is Svea in Henna from Amacci. And I'm wearing the same PXL Creations skin as above. My eyes for both outfits are Frozen Night Medium from Poetic Colors. Now that Miriel Enfield is no longer making eyes, Poetic Colors has become my *eye crack* of choice. They aren't inexpensive, but they often have hunt gifts or freebies that ease the pain a bit.

So please poke me inworld if you want help at MichaMi --see you in the store!

Michami MIX

(Say that fast 5 times)

I'm a great fan of Milla Michinaga's work, although I still miss her blog. Her outfits are always chic and always offered in enough layers to satisfy even the most finicky avi. But for me the fun comes in the mixing and matching.



Briefly I'm wearing the leggings from Glitter Tube & Leggings, the bodice from the Orla dress and the sheer tunic from the Aaliya Bikini set. I could have worn the cigarette pants from Joanie or the Laila Skinny Pants, but the angle on the back of the leggings complemented the angle on the tunic. I also am happy with the little bit of back that shows between the tunic and the bodice.

My shoes are Marie in Black from Tesla. Hair is the new "freebie" from Amacci, Adena in Deep Copper. My skin is the second skin I ever bought. It is an old Gala Medium-Gray. Earrings are Violet Voltaire's Melancholy in black.
