A Touch of Elegance...

What a joy it is to work with Malicia Python! She will most likely hate me for spilling that secret - that she is really a sweetheart of a woman - but I have to tell the truth to my dear readers. Anyway, while awaiting my impending doom, let me tell you about the stunning jewel of an outfit Malicia gave me this morning. But first a definition:

A paradox is a statement that apparently contradicts itself and yet might be true. Most logical paradoxes are known to be invalid arguments but are still valuable in promoting critical thinking.

There is no contradiction here - Paradox from Silken Moon is a truly wonderful outfit and is a joy to behold. Once rezzed and placed on, one is not certain if it is clothing... or jewelry.  Suffice to say it is exceptionally detailed and wonderfully textured - all hot buttons in my book.

The top reminds me of the finest Chinese Cloisonné with luscious vibrant colors swirling in a breath taking design.  To achieve this look I used hair from Diva, shoes from Pixelfashion, makeup and nails from Blackliquid, and jewels from Mandala.  I think the results speak for themselves and I am so thankful that she sent this outfit to me!

This is another must-have for your SL wardrobe. If you want to impress - get this outfit!

She Screams So Sweetly...

OK, that's an awful lot of "S" words there but after seeing the topic of today's blog you'll understand why they are so very necessary...  Well I HOPE you do at least...

Mami Jewell is a fashion icon in Second Life.  Her contributions as the creator and owner of Azul are legendary, as are many of the gowns she has created over the years.  Many models got launched into fame wearing an Azul gown.

So how come all the screaming?  Well, it's Halloween and Mami has created a very beautiful yet scary outfit for the season.  The key is that it is a LIMITED outfit.  So, since you already know you want this dress better get ready for the rush.

Before I start, let me just say the craws, jewels and teeth are mine :)  Well, a girl has to have *some* toys!   This outfit is called Malika and it is a stunning black brocade bustier top coupled with a lush feathered skirt.  The black lace fingerless gloves complete this jewel of an outfit.  Oh, I forgot the skulls.  Yes, you can really tell it's Halloween because of the many skulls.  The overall effect is one of elegant terror.

As I said, I added the claws and teeth and jewels as well as some sufficiently scary looking shoes to make an outfit that really hit the mark.  Suffice to say, you will love how this turns out.

Picture Perfect

I adore the creativity and brilliance of Vikeejean Xevion.  This woman is one of the best designers in Second Life, and her Loovus Dzevoor brand consistently produces some of the most innovative and stunning designs on the grid.  After seeing a recent ad, I asked Vikeejean if I could blog her latest creation - Innosense.  Vikeejean produced this gem for the LIV-GLAM Boutique hunt gift that starts on 10/27/2013.

I was drawn to the use of a luscious transparent layer over a bold leopard print design. The resulting look is so very alluring.

As you can see, the overall look is a bright splash of color against the autumn backdrop of Neva Sky Villi.  I feel that this look is a sweet, sophisticated ensemble that works from the boardroom to a cocktail party.  Needless to say, this dress did pass the dance test as well!

As with every creation from LD, the outfit's fit and detailing is suburb.  Coupled with some jewels from Mandala, and shoes from Co Fiftyseven the results are quite nice.

This dress is sure to go fast.  Make certain you get to the LIV-GLAM Boutique hunt today!
