Visions of Red

I wanted an outfit that could take me from relaxing at home, to the coffee shop, to a day out and about. Something smart, but casual. This mix of pieces from Zibska really fits that bill.

I started with the Anja top in a pale greenish colour. This was available at the Winter Trend Fair, which has now ended, but I am really hoping it will appear in her shop as it is stunning. I paired that up with the pants from the Rikke outfit. Love the pattern and colours, and the way it flows down the body making it very easy to dress up for an evening event, but with the casual tie belt also making for the perfect smart casual trans-seasonal pants.
Visions of Red_f
The necklace and only-just-able-to-be-seen earrings are from this month's L'accessoires and it is a delicate chain and gem set called Rikke. It comes with a number of colour change options, perfect to go with many outfits. The big bold bracelets come from the Linna set and also have many colour options.
Finishing off is this almost vintage style hair by Spellbound, and shoes by Shey.
Visions of Red
As a note, Zibska is having a sale at the moment with some amazing designs (some I have featured in my blog) being thrown out at just 50L. But only until December 31st.

Jewellery & Accessories Expo closing post

Well the Expo will be over at midnight, so sneaking one final post in.

This one features just one of the offerings by Zibska, and one by Tantalus. Both have much, much more that is well worth having. Normally I would talk a bit about what I am wearing, but time is limited, so will let these pics speak for themselves.

Azoury goes to Africa

Another quick post before the Jewelry & Accessories Expo closes at midnight SLT.

This one is for Azoury shoes. I have to admit to having a huge soft spot for the quirky designs of Azoury. And these boots do not disappoint. Available to fit both the Belleza body and SLINK feet, these are not to be missed.

Ughs, running late again with posts. Been having a stand-up fight with SL trying to take pics. Every time I tried to save, SL would crash. After getting nowhere for a couple of days with Firestorm help, I decided to uninstall and update graphics and Firestorm. Luckily that fixed it.

Okay will do a few quick posts as the Jewelry & Accessories Expo closes at midnight SLT and I have a bunch I want to post.

First post is Faster Pussycat. Just love this blue dress with it's slashes across the body. It comes with several options to wear it, as a dress alone, or with a lime green bodysuit underneath. It also has matching shoes, and necklace. The shoes and necklace also have other colours they come in.

Fantasy in White

Today's post features a gown, a skin, and nails from this years Peace on Earth Hunt, and a choker from the Jewellery & Accessories Expo.
The gown by Topazia is a breathtaking white gown comprised of a corset with ties at the shoulders and front, and laced up back giving way to a voluptuous, lavish skirt make entirely of white fur. Completing the set with a white tophat sporting matching white fur. This really is a gown too good to be missed.
Fantasy In White_cu
The amazing and I think somewhat under-named choker is by West 143rd. The choker part is made of chain, with draping diamond-shaped plates down the front, back, and on the shoulders. It really is a spectacular piece. (my only criticism is it is not resizable down). It am wearing it here in Platinum, but it is also available in Gold.
Fantasy In White_b
The skin is made by Deluxe Body Factory and is lovely. It comes in cleavage and non-cleavage versions. In the pack is also nailpolish for SLINK nails, but I opted instead for a different polish. The one I chose is by Luna Body Art, for both hands and feet. Shown here in silver, but has six lovely muted shades.
Fantasy In White_u
The final touches are this semi updo hair by Mina, some sliver white crocodile skin thigh high boots by Maitreya, and lovely bracelets by Finesmith.

The Singer

Bringing you a very glitzy look this time courtesy of Ghee's exclusive offering for "The Frozzen Fair".
This very 60's, very sexy, eyecatching little dress actually sparkles, and comes in four colours: pink (as shown), lemon, ice, and mint. Just perfect for flashy evening parties with a retro theme, or to wear to that hot new club. You don't want to miss this one.

The Singer1
This wild hair from Analog Dog was just perfect with this dress in creating that glam rock star look. Added a shimmering, striking eye make-up/blush from Madrid Solo to play up even more glam. The look was topped off with chunky "diamond" jewellery from both Zibska, and Maxi Gossamer to pick up the lights and dazzle.

Seeing Purple

Previews of a couple of the items that will be available at the Jewelry & Accessory Expo 2014 when it opens later today.

First up is the full face version of the "Rose" make-up  by {MUA}. This comes in separate eyes, lips, and full versions and has a decidedly gothy feel to it. Which makes it go perfectly with the "Rolled Link Necklaces" by Pomposity. This comes in two sizes: standard and short (I have both on), and in 8 metals shades. They are also completely resizeable so suitable for both men and women.
Seeing Purple_CU
I coupled this with a very recent release called "Teese" Leather Halter Corset by Lapointe & Bastchilde's Swear label. Like all their offerings, the quality is superb, and it has a TON of options. You really can dress this one up as a glamour halter, or as casual as you like.
Seeing Purple_f
I added the great "Side Lace Pants" by ISON at this month's Collabor88, and this hairstyle by Tableau Vivant called "Wicca" that I can't seem to take off I love it that much. Also at this month's Collabor88.

Birds of a Feather

Want to quickly throw this post out as both events end today.

The first is The Secret Affair.......if you haven't been along to this you are missing some amazing stuff! And one of them is this gorgeous feathery capelet from Zibska. I literally drooled over her previews, and she was sweet enough to send it to me *muahs Zib, love ya loads*. I would have blogged it sooner, but my health has kept me mostly away from SL again.
Zib's Birds 4

The feathers sit around the shoulders, and have wafts floating down, and drifting up. They are colour change, and there is some very cool combinations to be had by mixing different colours together.
I am wearing this over this eye-catching top/skirt set from Alchemy that is available at The Fantasy Gacha @100L per play. I had several attempts to get the two colours I'd wanted, and while getting one piece from each couldn't get the other. In the end picked them up at yardsales for list price. If you are feeling lucky (or even if not) would recommend at least trying this gacha for the outfit (and matching jewellery).

Stylishly Warm in Reds

Bringing you a preview of Ghee's new Fall Collection designed by Bea Serendipity and Warm Clarity that will be premièred at Penumbra Fall/Winter Fashion Week beginning September 13th, and run until the 22nd. After that the collection will be in the Ghee main store.
"Inspired by the idea of dramatic opulence, the collection uses fine wools, fur, embossed leather, knit, velvet and satin textures combined in a deep rich color palette inspired by the AW14/15 Pantone Colour Trends. Cassis - vibrant blackcurrant purple; Royal - bright blue; Aluminum - muted mid grey; Claret - rich red; Saffron - deep yellow/gold; Sangria - luscious purple red; Mauve Mist - soft muted mauve; Cognac - rich brown; Cobalt - deep green toned blue; Cypress - muddy grey green, Fog - pale grey; and Noir - charcoal black.

An original abstract pattern, created by Warm Clarity, in 4 lush colorways brings the whole palette together and provides ample opportunities for mixing and matching different looks."

For this outfit I chose the roundneck knit sweater in Sangria, and added a contrasting cowl in noir. These and the noir tights are part of the "Thermals Set" Next up added this below knee length "Fold Skirt" in sangria with it's side split and shaped patterned waistband. The boots are the "Suede Rose Boots" in claret. Matching SLINK nails are also by Ghee.

Ghee @ Black Fair

Sorry for the long break. Again my health has been a huge issue with several hospital visits. It's a really difficult cycle, my health collapses......spend time in hospital...........spend time recovering and feeling exhausted........feel guilt and depressed that I've let people down......feel great again and try to catch up on everything I'd missed.......then health collapses again, etc.

So with that in mind, just trying to scrape in a couple of posts for Ghee @ The Black Fashion Fair which sadly ends tomorrow at 4pm. If you haven't been, then get there and at least get the Ghee gift of some fabulous SLINK nails.
First of the offerings I will show you from Ghee is this sexy little black dress. And we all know a girl can never have enough little black dresses. Also featured is this fabulous necklace from Zibska available at Uber until August 29th, and these new Madrid Solo eyes that come in multiple shades.

Ghee_Black Fair 1

This sexy little dress from Ghee is also ultra-feminine, and just a touch naughty with the shoulder strap fallen down on one side and showing just the hint of a nipple. The lace sheath over the dress is exquisite, and the poppies add great detail to the bodice. The Zibska necklace is a perfect compliment with it's geometric styling shown here in black and silver, but there are many colour options included. These new mesh eyes from Madrid Solo are a touch different as you would expect from Madrid, but they are also very beautiful on.
To finalise my look today, I am wearing Glam Affair's Artemis skin in Jamaica tone available at this month's Collabor88. And this sassy styled hair is an older hair called Teddy by Truth.

Princess Lolly - TMoG

Today I'm bringing you this amazing outfit from Tres Beau. I've been a long time fan of Kimmera's work, bought my very first Tres Beau on my first avatar back in March 2005.
This is in every sense a complete outfit, the only thing it doesn't include is skin, and eyes.
Tres Beau_Candy_head

It is made up of lollies, and lollipops over a bed of lace for the dress with bows as accent. The neck corset is made of the same lace used for the skirt. Giant lollipops cover the boobs. Cupcakes and lollipops make up the hat that sits above fabulous pink hair. If you love whimsey and fun, this is really a must have outfit.

The White Bishop - TMoG

Really hope you are all heading off to the Month of Games as there is so many fabulous Designers and outfits to be had there.
The themes are such great choices it is hard to pick a favourite theme overall. I have quite a few outfits to show over the next couple of week, and have decided that I will pick stuff at random and that will be the next choice.
So today I present Zibska's White Bishop. To say I love this is an understatement.

Zibska_White Bishop

The patterned silver and white cloth hugs the body in a deep cut front and one-leg jumpsuit style. Floating gems make up the two leg wraps for the naked leg, with matching epaulettes for the shoulders. I've matched this with Zibska's foot ties in a matching sliver white

Zibska_White Bishop_upper

To finish off the outfit Zib has added a fabulous bishop's mitre in a silver white fabric. I chose a curly silver white hair from LeLutka to contrast with the straight lines of the hat. Make-up is by Nuuna.

The Month of Games CLUE: Mrs White

The Month of Games AD w_o Logos

Calling out to the inner child in you,

Do you remember those long summer days when you would drag out the board games and play them with friends? Maybe you played a bit of chess with Grandpa on Sundays.

Maybe Dangerous

Doing a bit of a catch-up on Zibska from various places about the grid with a mix and match.
First up is Sylv, a pants and top set available at Rhapsody. The sleeveless top is a rich animal print velvet and has a HUD that allows you to choose from several colours. The pants are three quarter length velvet with contrasting stripes in varying shades of lightness, and a black belt. The set also has a faux mohawk in metal (not shown)

Added part of the Posey set with the necklace and crown in black to give that edgey look with it's multitude of spikes (there is also a dress that comes with the set). This is also available at Rhapsody. Next was the one shoulder pauldron from the Antheia set. Lastly of the Zibska items is this crossline eyeshadow in Sangue.

Leather and Metal

Recently ~ghee~ held a competition for new bloggers, and I was lucky enough to be among the chosen. I say lucky, as ~ghee~ has been one of my favourite shops since discovering them at FFL last year. This post features this really very sexy (it is très revealing at the both the back and front, much more so than appears in the photos) shredded leather dress. It comes in 3 colours: magenta, teal, and black.

ghee_zibska

First up I had wanted to style it very upper class très chic call-girl look with heels and hat. But I really could not find the right hair, and I can't draw in hair to save myself.
So had a rethink and decided on this really fabulous abstract headpiece/hat from Zibska that compliments the dress with it's geometric lines. It is part of a set with a collar as well and has a colour change HUD. Threw on my favourite boots from r2 A/D/E and added this bright coloured hair from a new-to-me hair designer called Spellbound. Jewellery is some of my go-to favourites from Amorous.

Summer Sun

Over here in Australia it is Winter, so I love that it is Summer in the northern hemisphere and SL is full of bright, summery clothes. Makes me feel less cold and winter doldrummish.
ghee at the moment has a Summer Hunt on that is 21 pieces for 10L each. There is pants, skirts, several tops, a dress, and even some bangles included in the hunt, and they are all in either white, black or a lovely floral mix of yellow/white/black. Perfect for mix/matching. Just love the floral pieces especially!
My choice for this look was the white drape top over cigarette leg floral pants, with bangles for both wrists.

 Finesmith's Late Bloomer "Bleeding Sun" necklace and ring were just perfect as partners with the fabulous bright yellow flowers. This is part of a much larger set available in the store. Bag is also by Finesmith and is part of the excellent Recolor Hunt at the store. The really super feet wraps are "Kiele" by Zibska (just adore these!) available at FFL for just 1 more day. The come with a HUD that has 27!! colour choices.

Candy Flowers

Sorry for my long absence from blogging. I've had this styling and the pics done for 3 days now, but have been putting off writing as I really wasn't sure what to say.
Not sure that anyone really cares, but it's something I want to talk about. Health. If you suspect that you have something wrong and you aren't being heard by your doctor, change doctors. Seriously cannot express that enough. Same with any specialists. And if either dismiss you or tell you it is all in your head - see a different doctor. And keep doing that until you find one that listens.
I say this because for the last few years I have seen a couple of different doctors and a neurologist that weren't listening, and dismissed my health issues as all in my head. It all came to a head just over 3 months ago when I got very sick. Instead of my usual GP, I saw one of the trainees doing her placement at the Medical practice I go to. Rather than tell me, "hmm not sure what it is", she listened and then did some tests. Maybe because she is still learning she is still interested in finding answers. In the last 3 months I have been diagnosed and treated for h. pylori, had severe heart dysrhythmia that wasn't caused by my heart, but by my gall bladder, had it finally recognised that I don't get enough oxygen ALL the time though my lungs are healthy, and been diagnosed with probable cancer (I see the specialist on Friday). All of this has been present for years, and dismissed as all in my head by previous doctors. Am I out of the woods, not by a long way, in a sense the journey has just begun as finally each symptom is being looked at one by one and is being treated. My health is still very much on the edge and just being functional on a daily basis is still a ways off. But the journey to getting there has begun.

Okay on to SL and blogging clothes :)
One of my absolute favourite designers in SL is Zibska. Her unique visions and use of "added" pieces to give interest really appeal to me. Just like this stunning dress and hat from a new event called "The Instruments". The flowers drifting around this dress give it a look of spring and summer blossoms wafting in the warm breeze. And the hat with it's flowers and overly large "stamens" compliments it beautifully.
Zibska Kiele_full

The dress also comes with feet straps giving an overall look of a ballerina. To complete the look here I added this striking purple eyeshadow again by Zibska. Long pink hair from [taketomi], and this lovely blue jewellery is part of the Recolor Hunt at Finesmith.

Geometric Days

Very overdue blog post for Zibska and FIERA which ends today so you'd better RUN to grab some of the amazing exclusives at some very good prices.
Love this all in one pants/top with it's bold geometric design. The top has lovely folds that accentuate a thin waist just below. The pants are very practical three quarter length, perfect for Spring days. Shown here in reds/greys there is several other colours to choose from.

zibska_full

The collar and hat are also by Zibska and are a great design using overlapping circles. Both would work with many outfits, and as you can see the hat can be worn with a topknot peeking through. These both have a choice of metallic textures, though I went with silver and gold.
This topknot style with long accents framing the face is by MINA, and I thought  was perfect with the hat. The shoes with their almost matching geometric style in red is by Esque. And the celtic silver bracelets, also with a geometric style are by Magic Nook.
