New Sweater from Ivalde

I grabbed two of Ivalde's new Laida sweaters during the 24 hr 50% period, but it's a steal at the full price of L$80. The texture is both retro and sexy with the kind of detailing one expects from Ivalde. The best part is the primmy bit on the sweater at the bottom. I only had to move it down a little to have it work perfectly, even while moving. You'll need more than one of these!

Is how ges·tic·u·late (j-stky-lt) is defined, a fitting name for Elusyve Jewell and Gidge Uriza's newish pose shop. Now that they have taken a store at Copley Square, I hied myself across the sim and ended up buying the !GE! Mif 1-5 pose pack, of which 4 are pictured:) I love the happy quirkiness and the fact that they work well from several angles.

Most of what I'm wearing is either only available on SL Marketplace or not at all:

MichaMi: Glitter Tube & Leggings in Purple [Marketplace]
Lyra Muse: Vanessa shoes in Gunmetal [NA]
Soda Designs Custom Skin
FuseMelon: City Life hair in Red Spice
AlaMood: Infinity necklace and Simplicity earrings

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.

Oh /GEEZ/

WONDERFUL new poses from my SL sis, Grazia Horwitz. Some of these are her very best I think. They are very relaxed, yet also elegant. Bien fait sis!



I particularly like the crossed hands on the left, so hard to do and have look natural. My outfit is from Mimikri's new outlet store. I've always wanted more of these, and at these prices, I grabbed a WHOLE BUNCH.

top: Tank Top in Sky from Mimikri
pants: Star/Sequin in Sky from Mimikri
shoes: Vanessa by Lyra Muse [no longer available]
earrings: Bank's Closed in Silver from Dark Mouse
hair: Post-Ironic in Red by Curio [not sure about availability]
skin: Gina 02 by Tuli from The Dressing Room
poses: from sets 7, 8 & 9 by /GEEZ/ (R)

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!
