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.

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.

Blue Savannah

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.


What I am Wearing:
Dress

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).
