The Gift of a Woman...

There is a saying that goes like this, "A Woman is like a present....  I subscribe to that philosophy greatly, and it is in that spirit that I present the Beauty set of lingerie from Blacklace. Mariska Dufour is the creative genius behind Blacklace.  Her company and her designs come from a place of both beauty and sensuality - and trust me - Blacklace has both in abundance.

I cannot tell you how sexy I feel wearing this set.  The details of bows and lace are so perfectly done - and you all know how I love those little touches.

Ladies, if you have a special friend you want to impress - get this set!  Gentleman, if you want to treat your lady right, and thrill her to peices - get this set!  You will be glad you did...

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...

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...

The Heart of Africa...

My dear readers, as you who follow my blog know by now I have just been loving the Avenue Fashion Week shows.  One of the designers who has really stood out for me has been Loovus Dzevavor.  I have been consistently impressed by the quality of both the designs and the styles of each piece I've gotten there.  So, today, I've decided to write about another work of art to come out of that very wonderful store.  The Vanettaesque dress is a special and limited dress - only 100 will be sold.  The minute i laid eyes on it I knew it had to follow me home.

The very first thing one notices about the Vanettaesque are the incredible colors and textures used.  This dress is so well done you almost feel like you can reach out and touch it.  The styling is stunning with a cute zipper in the back to give this dress an ability to move well.  The bold use of color gives this dress a class that transcends being a simple shift.  You will find yourself putting this on to go out more often than not, because it is so very striking.  To complete this look I added some stunning jewels from Finesmith - both the Sdares and Denna bracelets as well as the new Here Comes the Sun run in Fire.

 

Some trusty heels from N-Core finished this off quite well.  I have to say that the reaction when i wore this was pretty profound.  Walking into one of my favorite haunts i immediately got 6 IMs asking where I'd gotten this incredible dress.  Well, like I said... it is limited and available at the Avenue retail area for just a short time more.
