Another incredible round of Collabor88 is about to begin, and we are just minutes away from some truly 'above average' designs from the fabulous collective of designers involved in this stellar event.

Stay Tuned

Waiting is hard. Whether you are waiting for good news, bad news, or just any news at all, there is a less than elegant torture involved in the process. Wishing and hoping, and even calling on the higher power of your choice can buy you a bit of relief, but ultimately the only comfort you can bet on is the kind that comes with luck and time.

 

The good news is, it is time for another round of Collabor88, and that means your wait is over and another month filled with great creations by this collaborative crew has begun. For the October round of 'Collab', be prepared for an interesting mix of Fall fashion and a hint of pre-Halloween fun. A fantastic new release from The Secret Store, accessories from LaGyo and beauteous skins, once again from Glam Affair, form the basis of this look.

 

There is real genius in these new Sigourney Boots from Slink, a brilliant sexy foot shape and thin heel compliment the rigged mesh fine grain leather upper. The hair and hat are part of the latest release from Truth, such a clever style that felt like the perfect fit to wear while I play my waiting game. Stay tuned for more great items from Collabor88 and so many other releases that I can barely keep up. (Complete shopping details below.)

In The Nude

I love a simplified color palette like nude. Warm and easy on the eyes, this new neutral deserves a second look. I am wearing one of my own creations for DCNY, yes it happens, I do wear my own designs too. This little dress with the criss-crossing back straps and optional tango appliers has the feeling of lingerie for day or night. I am wearing it with tall boots from Maitreya, the matching suede color helps this dress bridge the gap between Summer and Fall.

 

The skin is the new and very gorgeous Leila from Belleza, as are the tango breast and slink hand appliers. The skin is soft and young looking, and the make-up options are rather stunning, well worth trying a demo! My fingernails are another perfect match from Flair, the nude pearly looking color is a great compliment that helps pull all the details together, while the Maxi Gossamer necklace and ring set from the current Collabor88 add that all important bit of icing to the cake. (complete shopping details are below.)

Happy Birthday Girl

Friday the 13th has a whole new meaning when it falls on your Birthday... and today is mine! I really only had a couple wishes for my Birthday, so far one has come true, and the other is looking good too. If I had a third wish, and my greedy little heart was willing to admit it, it would be to have one of my favorite designers name something Anessa... and wouldn't you know it - TRUTH has made my third wish come true!

I am proudly wearing the new Anessa Hair from TRUTH, a sweepingly romantic long style with layered bangs parted at the forehead, a twisted knot at the back, and lots of soft length all the way down to the lower back. The finishing touch is a delicate laurel headband, with some lovely color change options. These latest styles from TRUTH also include hair texture HUDs, these have clever palettes that make it easy to choose the shade you like.

I am wearing some of the latest from Baiastice, found at FaMeshed, a romantic long skirt and sexy embellished halter, these both have remarkable details that just beg to be photographed. The ring and pendant, new from Maxi Gossamer at Collabor88, and a straw bag from Saikin, make this a perfect look for a fun day of exploring in SL. (complete outfit details below.)

Step In Time

More looking ahead to Fall today, this time inspired by the latest from TRUTH Hair, which can be found at a new event called The Seasons Story. Juniper is a long and slightly wind-blown style topped with a smart wool hat, it comes complete with an easy color change HUD for both hair texture and hat color.

 

The outfit is a collection of Items from the new round of Collabor88. ISON has outdone itself with a generous new Fall Collection, included amongst these treasures are the over-the-knee riding boots, folded leather clutch and wool shorts with sheer trim, included in this look. The cardigan by Color.Me.H.O.F., a luxurious piece of work with golden buttons on the cuff, and belt closure. The Oversized pendant and ring by Maxi Gossamer, with its organic feel and colorful options, add an extra layer of timely detail.

 

Another beautiful Collabor88 skin offering from Glam Affair, Shanna is soft and is available in some truly exciting and colorful make-ups, but shown here is a softer more natural face. Taking a step back in time I added a silky camisole by League, and a pair of sheer olive stockings from Battered Boudoir. The complete look is one of the reasons that Autumn is my favorite season, the colors and textures, the leather and lux details, all make for easy wearing and gorgeous results.
