Another Paradox in Silk...

Malicia is one of the most talented people I know in Second Life.  Her store is like that shop in your town where you know you will find just the perfect thing to complete your project or your look.  From Makeup to skins to Slink nail appliers in a rainbow of colors to her amazing taste in fashion, Malicia's Silken Moon Boutique is a delight for your senses - ALL of them.  Tonight I am fighting off sleep because I simply had to get this blog written before I could sleep.  I am talking about a stunning new ensemble from Malicia called Paradox.  I've touched on one element of that line, tonight I write about Morpheous.  This delight in red tones and black is an exceptional example of the state-of-the-art in fashion design in Second Life.

I decided to shoot this lovely treat at one of my haunts - Venexia.  The two seemed to mesh well - the ancient stones of Venexia next to the soft edgy silk of Morpheous.  You know I am ALL about details, and this outfit is a feast of them.  From the perfect fit to the careful detailing of each exposed edge, Morpheous is stunning from every angle.  I completed this styling with jewels from Lazuri and my trusty Bax boots.

Silken Moon has really hit the mark with this creation.  It is a true pleasure for the eyes...

She Looks Fast Just Standing Still...

I met a new designer today.  Vasso Graves is the designer and owner of Blackrose Fashions.  As you will no doubt pick up from my previous columns, I am a stickler about details in the clothing I write about.  So with that in mind you may be surprised to read my next statement.  Vasso Graves has produced clothing of the finest quality i have seen in a while.  Her mesh items are flawless and have a texture and detail that is nearly unmatched.

I literally could not wait to style and shoot this clothing.  For this styling I chose her Zippered Mini along with a striped top.  The fit of each item was again - flawless.  The texturing and shadows were a wonder to behold - exquisite workmanship is so evident.  To finish this outfit I chose thigh high Valquiria boots from Kungler, Jewels from Lazuri, and a stunning hair from the lovely Vikeejean at Loovus Dzevoor.  My makeup is by Blackliquid as are the wonderful Slink nails she produces. I added a Ferrari-style car from Felgo Motors and am thrilled with the results.

Not only is this a lovely outfit, the quality is amazing.  Vasso and I talked a bit and she is a darling woman who truly enjoys producing these creations.  This clothing line is a sure hit.  I told her her prices were too low, so RUN, do not walk, to get yours today...

Angel or Demon?

This weekend I was invited to attend a Phantom of the Opera themed ball with the Social Club. As it was a formal event,I went to my source of inspiration for all things formal - Azul.  Mami has so many stunning choices but my Google search narrowed the field to a lacy, white, and flowing dress. I quickly located Rachel and was thrilled to find it matched my requirements precisely.

As you can see, he overall look is one of restrained elegance - there are no flashing extras to be found here, nor are they needed.  I love the romantic feel of this gown - it feels like... Love.  I completed the look with some Lazuri jewels and some slingbacks from Gos and had a great time dancing.

As I have mentioned in previous columns, I just adore the detailing of Mami's Creations - Rachel upholds that fine tradition - the lace work alone is exceptional.  This gown was a real crowd pleaser.  Run, do not walk, to get yours today...

And yes, I did feel Angelic in this lovely creation...

Posing Sinfully...

I love the days Mami releases new gowns for Azul.  Today Malika showed up and all I could say was WOW!  I love this gown so much, it is both an incredibly detailed and luscious example of the art of Second Life.  As usual the array of colors for this gown are just stunning.  I chose the turquoise version of Malika and found it such a joy to wear and shoot in the studio.

the rich color captures the eye immediateely, but it is the attention to detail Mami puts into each of her creations that focuses the eye.  As I have said in previous posts, I always feel so elegant wearing an Azul creation.  Malika is no exception.

The gown's fit is suburb, and I needed no edits to achieve this look.  Coupled with Lazuri jewels and Truth hair I felt ready to dance!

This gown is sure to be a hit at any function you wear it for.  Run, do not walk, to get yours today...

Encased in Silk...

Wearing one of Mami Jewell's creations feels like being in a dream.  One is transported to a time and place of serenity and beauty.  Mami's latest creation is Francesca, and this gown is a feast of stunning detail and wonderful design that captures both the eye and the heart.

I was thrilled to see this box arrive, as I'd caught a glimpse of it and knew it would be one of my favorites immediately. Mami is doing more with Mesh, and this gown consists of a hybrid of Mesh and Prim working together in an incredible elegant way.

I chose the Sapphire to style as the deep color is just amazing.  It was only after wearing it that I began to appreciate the true artistry here.  The rich brocade of the torso is so beautifully done one could almost reach out and touch it.

As with every creation from this talented woman, the gown's fit and detailing is suburb.  I needed no edits to achevie this look, something that rarely happens.  Coupled with Lazuri jewels and Diva hair I felt so elegant and even a bit decadent.

This gown is sure to be a real crowd pleaser.  Run, do not walk, to get yours today...

With Extra Garlic Please...

Today I received a delightful surprise from my dear friend Mami Jewell.  Her Iolanda gown is a truly wonderful creation and in short order became my favorite gown.  The detailing is just superb, and everything from the textures to the details speaks of the care and quality that goes into each Azul creation.

A word about the title, it's a bit of an inside joke really.  Mami and I share a love for garlic and a dear preggers friend who does not.   We like to tease her just a little bit :)

I chose Iolanda in green as an experiment really.  Looking back I found myself stuck in a rut of black and red, and I just wanted to see what green would look like.  All I can say is... I am really pleased with the results.  To round out this styling I chose my favorite formal jewels - Noor Mystic from Lazuri, and some beautiful N-Core Diva shoes.

The overall result was very nice, and I have a feeling that I will enjoy wearing this gown to many social events in the near future. 

Oh, and sorry it's been a while since I've written in my blog.  Life have been challenging and I needed some time to regroup.  I hope to be able to bring your more posts with regularity in the near future...
