In bows like a Siren she calls to me

Today I'm featuring this stunning outfit by Zibska for the inaugural round of ReVamped. The top is a bandeau, almost covered at the front by a giant bow suspended from a thick chain around the neck. The skirt is actually form-hugging high waisted shorts, with a skirt attached made up entirely of bows. Each individual part is colour change, with the bows on the skirt having 2 separate areas of colour to enable two-tone. The whole creates a visually eye catching outfit that will turn heads wherever you go.

The lovely skin I am wearing is from Essences and available at The Gacha Garden. There is several skintones and make-up choices to pick from. The hair is from Tableau Vivant and is available at this current round of Collabor88.

Spring Days

For the Northern Hemisphere it is early Spring, and the fashions of the season are just starting to emerge onto the grid. This eyecatching little number from Ghee speaks loudly of Spring with the contrasting white floral pattern sweeping across the bodice and down to the hip. It is another of the exclusives for Fashion For Life, and you had better hurry if you want to get it as it closes March 29th.

Another one you had better hurry for is this gorgeous pale skin called "Rose" from Mudskin. There is 10 shades of skin in both freckle and non-freckle versions, though all tend to be pale. The skin comes with eye-shadows (not shown), moles, and lipsticks, and there are appliers available for almost any mesh body/part. But as the Skin Fair closes on the 29th, you had better rush over. The eye-shadow shown is one by Zibska called Maia, also available at the Skin Fair.
The bracelets are both by Plastik. On my right forearm is a bracelet that is a new favourite called Bonedaddy, a quirky fun bracelet made of bones, set with gems. And on my left is Detora, also made of bone, and set with tiny chains, and a crystal. Both are available at The Secret Affair.

Finishing my look is this chain and gem necklace from Zibska. Both chains, and gems are colour changeable through the HUD. The hair is an older Tableau Vivant one that is perfect for Spring with it's built on hat.

The Gitana

This type of look pretty much encompasses not only my view of the world (in a general sense), but also stylistically one of the major influences in my RL look. It is also interesting to me, in a way, as I have often been asked (despite being almost deathly pale skinned in reality) whether I am Greek, or Spanish, and in particular if I am Gitana.

The fabulous top, and skirt drape beautifully, are available separately and are by Foxes. They come in several colours, either with a heavy gold embossing, or with a lighter one as shown here. My only small quibble with the skirt is it would have been better photography-wise if it was also textured inside. For general wear this won't be an issue at all. I paired this with this set made of hanging coins off leather cord headband, necklace, and bracelets by Izzie's (there is also earrings, not shown). These pieces all sat beautifully with little to no modification needed to get a perfect fit. I chose the gold, but there is also silver, and copper.
Both of these are available at Uber until March 23rd.

The skin is a lovely skin called Arabian Nights, made by Lumae. The wavy, freeflowing hair is by Tableau Vivant and is called Wicca. I went with a red/black mix to compliment the colour in the top and skirt. My nails are called "Gloriana" by Adoness. Hands and feet are by SLINK. I mention this as there is an update with quite a lot of changes available for both men's and women's SLINK components.
