Strawberry Wine

Here we are at week six of 50 Shades of Sexy, the Blogger Challenge issued by Unapologetic Second Life Fashion Blog. In case you were wondering what happened to week five... well, let's just say the picture turned out a bit steamier than I had originally intended, what can I say, sexy happens. I did post it on my flickr stream here, in case you are curious, but felt it was a bit more risque than I would be comfortable posting on my fashion blog. This week however,  the theme was 'Intoxicate Me', and I always like to push the theme beyond the obvious and have a bit of fun with it in my very own sweet sexy way, so here I have arrived at Strawberry Wine, plenty of bows and lace and all that good stuff. The delicious details are below.

Into Temptation

There I was thinking I was done with blogging for the day, when suddenly I saw them; tall, shapely, sexy, sculptural, and definitely Celoe. I was tempted to stop everything I was doing and slip into these delicious new platform sandals from Celoe, simply called Amae. They come in so many gorgeous solid colors and even a great collection of two tone variations, I settled on a combination of the black and red, called depth and heat... even the names of the colors are a bit exciting, right?

I wrapped myself in the sumptuous silky trench style dress from Belgravia, threw my hair up into a Judy Jetson-ish updo and added a few hot accessories from Maxi Gossamer and BenS Beauty. The new Ava skin from Belleza is back again, this time with a glossy lip in what else... red. As for the features of the shoes, they come with the usual bells and whistles you can expect, all in a very user friendly Mayfair HUD. As a bonus you get three metal options for the rivets and buckles; gold, silver and black. I am sure you will be seeing more of these very soon, in all sorts of places. Great shoes always travel! **Shoes are now available in-store, as of Thursday January 17th.

Another Pretty Face

If you follow my blog you may have noticed that I rarely change my skins, once I find a face I like I usually stick with it. Belleza just released its latest face, Ava, and she is a real beauty, I love it more and more the longer I have it on! Amazing brows (that come in 3 tones), pouty lips and a beautful soft body. I only purchased the one make-up, so my apologies for not showing you more of her, but hopefully this will be enough to get you to run over and try some demos.

 Styling details below...
 

Pretty Please

A sweet style for a Sunday. Soft colors and textures, girly and glamorous, and definitely pretty. The starting point is the delicate babydoll dress from Tres Blah, layers of sheer pink with golden sequins to top it off, a new release at Collabor88. The shoes are again the new Liaison from Maitreya, the unexpected half sock adds a youthful tilt that complement the dress and make it feel more modern. Accessories are a bit of a mix and match situation, delicate antique drops from Donna Flora, a modern oversized floral ring from Maxi Gossamer, and a studded clutch from O&N.

Comfort & Color

Fall is one of those magical times of year when pretty much any color palate can be acceptable, the last of the late summer pastels, the rich and bright colors of autumn, and the muted shades of winter are all fair game. With the mega release of comfy casuals at Maitreya this week, I decided to kick off my fashionista tendencies and lounge around in some of what are easily among the cutest drawstring pants, sweatshirt dresses and simple sweaters that you'll have to pry off of me for the next little while.

 

I took these photos in my very simple skybox setting, and really just took quick snapshots of the looks because they really don't need any of the fancy extras. With the majority of the items coming from Maitreya, the Lux Sweaters, Stefani Pants and Milia Sweater Dresses, I also added a new top from Emery, and some great complimentary footwear from Zaara, TokiD, Maitreya and Kitties Lair.
 

 

Accessories were kept to a minimum, all part of my clever casual style, but regardless of what I chose to wear it plays into a general colorful theme that matches whatever else I had on. The sweet fresh faced skins are League Jen and the hair by DeLa and LeLutka are favorites too. All the other notes from Head to Toes are included below. Stay comfy!

In The Bag

Inspiration for a new outfit can come from many sources; a mood, a color, a great pair of shoes... and oh yes, a great little bag. Sometimes the pieces don't come together all at once, but I am constantly collecting bags whenever I find one that is a little special, and sometimes the pieces fall into place just like that. My taste in purses, bags and clutches is as eclectic as the rest of my wardrobe, running the gamut between practicality, fashionability and whimsical cuteness.

 

The little hedgehog clutch by Snowboa, was a Marketplace find and I was thrilled to see the level of detail was as good as the picture made it look. This sweet little thing haunted me, wanting to find just the right outfit to wear it with. When I saw the latest little cocktail dresses released at Eaters Coma, my memory for color kicked in and I just knew I had found the right thing. I added a few darker touches, the little bolero sweater from Innoc, and these perfect Ren lace-up boots from LeLutka, and the result was as cute as the clutch.

 

The Jewel toned and chunky gold accented stud bag from Swallow was the next gem to make the cut. I found the button down shirt from House of Fox, the gold studded collar was a perfect match. I pulled out more color from the bag with the cute skirt from Whippet & Buck, the tights from Koda and even the laces on the my G Field boots became and accessory. I gave myself bonus points for the color matched lipstick and chunky gold jewelry, and cute hair from DeLa.

 

The Cala Seona bag from YS&YS has always been a favorite, I can't resist the touch of the contents of the bag peeking out. It was a bit of a chicken and egg riddle pulling this look together, I fell in love with the new trench from Mon Tissu, I opted for the bright blue color and then remembered the amazing Fame Pumps from LeLutka, a marriage of the right colors for the bag and trench, I needed just the right bottom to go under the coat, and the Celoe Nikka skirt was a great option. The final touch, the sunglasses from Yummy (worn up), made for a great unexpected accessory on an outfit that would have gotten a bit too 'old' with the addition of a necklace or scarf.
