Crush On You

I've got a secret... that won't be a secret for long! The very adorable Bowlicious Dress from The Secret Store is set to be released at the new round of FaMESHed, there are so many color combinations, both contrasting brights and subtle tone on tone pastels, it is one to be very excited about whether you style it up with a hint of Lolita like I did, or just keep it sexy with some stellar heels. The hair from Elikatira is on sale right now, so pop over and take a look at the retirement sale before this adorable 'do' is gone.
 

It was bows all over the place with the cute hair bow from Olive (Yay for color change!), and the sweet bow ring from Maxi Gossamer, but the perfect purse from The Secret Store, one of the Gatcha items that was first available at The Arcade, makes it all about that mustard shade... and the shoes from Mon Tissu believe it or not have been sitting in my inventory since I bought them months ago, I loved the color then but didn't really have a way to work them into a blog post... and here they are!

Sweet Cravings

It is time for another fix! So many great new things to shop for this weekend, here are just a few with a hint of candy bright color. So many surprising and delicious combinations from the latest releases by Celoe, Maitreya, Mon Tissu and Emery. I couldn't decide on just one look, so I went for a trio of yumminess... hope you enjoy!

 

Celoe has just released part one of its Fall 2012 Collection, It is full of great coats, tops, pants, and dresses, some surprising and well made shapes that will be hard for anyone to resist. Case in point the surprising little bubble top/mini, Coco, such a sexy decolletage area with its slender bodice all coming to a dramatic bubble of a skirt. I love the scrolling organic print and satiny texture, this can be worn as a short dress or over slacks like I have done here. The pants also from Celoe are called Chardonnay. The Maitreya Suave Wedges are glued to my feet once again, the great Cognac color compliments the look, and other chocolaty touches like the Maxi Gossamer necklace and hair bow by TokiD sweeten this already tasty look.

Ready for another helping? So many bright colors in this ensemble, the mesh blazer by Emery and Mon Tissu cotton pants, right down to the pink socks in my Maitreya Wedges... and did I mention the perfectly matching clutch from Magic Nook... you had to know I'd include at least one clutch in this post. The sweet Wasabi Pills Christy style with its color changing bow, and sugary bubblegum lipstick from League make it easy to add a spoonful of sugar to this outfit.

The Maru jacket from Celoe manages to sit perfectly over the Emery skirt in my third helping, just look at how that metallic buckle on the jacket matches the sunny orange shade in the Mondrian grid skirt, the color is echoed again in the accessory flower of the Demeter hair style from LeLutka. The pinkish hue of the Suave Wedges in Raspberry add the final fruity touch to this last look, and the Jewelled Love necklace from Maxi Gossamer is a perfect compliment to my love of sweets. Be sure and brush your teeth after reading this post, wouldn't want you to get any cavities!

For all the details from Head to Toes please see below.

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.

Pumpkin Spice

Orange has never been a favorite color, but sometimes I like to shake things up by challenging myself to work with the unfamiliar. I decided to embrace orange and combine it with graphic shapes and prints to create a series of looks that I call Pumpkin Spice.

For my first look I played with the scale of a dot covered outerwear coat by Saikin over tailored shorts by House of Fox, I loved the way the texture of the coat was layered shades of orange, rust and black in multiple dot sizes. The boots are a brand new release from Babette Ultsch over at Kitties Lair, if you have never checked out the footwear she designs you are missing a real treat, her latest are rigged mesh and the perfect fit over my socks by Maitreya.

 

I took advantage of some great orangey accessories, the flower by Mon Tissu was intended for the lapel, but works great in my hair too! I added some pretty pearly jewelry by Donna Flora and grabbed a bag by DDL. Never underestimate the power of a great bag in SL... I can't ever have enough of them!

 

For the second look I fell in love with the graphic print of the Graph It Up babydoll dress, and Flat Cube earrings, both by Maylee Oh from The Secret Store. More great footwear from Kitties Lair here, the Bulldog Booties have a great modern shape and look sassy over socks. Additional accessories here are by Redgrave, a great new watch, Chained Desire in Silver, and some sexy shades called Laurita, both fit in with the simplicity of this traffic stopping ensemble.



Lastly, I classed it up with this sexy mesh June Dress from Celoe, and necklace and earrings by Caroline's, out today at Cinema. The houndstooth booties, Hunter by Gos, add the eyecatching print this outfit needed, worn here with simple black tights, they strike a balance between the bright orange of the dress and the intricate pattern of the boots, neither steal the show. Skins for this post are by League, the Jen skins have great make-ups and lip options, and one of my favorite hairbases that are part of the skin, they made it possible for me to mix and match hair pieces from booN - a collection of bits and pieces, bangs and ponies, that can give you a one of a kind look, I have never regretted buying them.

Pretty. Edgy.

One of the best things about Fashion in Second Life is the seemingly complete lack of rules, sure there are some basic Do's and Don'ts, for example 'do wear things you love' and 'don't wear bling or facelights... ever.', but really the possibilities are endless. When pulling together looks for this blog post, the first of our newly revived blog, I considered how easy it is to match cutting edge fashion with well made basics, and create outfits that are both pretty and edgy.

 

 

I was most impressed by the adorable new Birdie Skirt by The Secret Store, not only is it beautifully rigged and textured, the bird motif is a lovely subtle pattern that makes it easy for people who normally steer clear of prints to wear one. The Secret Store designer Maylee Oh also offers the skirt in solid shades and breathtaking photo skyline prints, each skirt includes a belt with bow detail that can be worn with other outfits as well.

 

For this first look I paired the skirt with the YmreBoots, newly released by Color.Me.H.O.F. (House of Fox), they come in plenty of dark neutrals and vibrant pastel shades, I was drawn to the delicious lavender shade and that became the theme that would run through this entire post. I just love the quilted suede panels, back zippers and black striped wedge heel on these, they are unlike anything I have seen before in SL. I layered on the sheer version of Mon Tissu's ruffle edged shell and 'Take Flight' necklace for an extra hit of femininity and whimsy.

 

 

Next I wanted to slip into the well made Zippered Skinny Jeans from Maitreya, in lavender again, these rigged mesh pants fit like a dream, and small details like the ankle zippers give them such a realistic appeal. I paired it with the silky Amy Blouse from Erratic, its soft flowing blouson effect skims perfectly over your form. I loved the studded flats from Toki Doki in black, and the sexy little Gotzsche City Clutch for that ultimate taste of jet-set rockstar style.

 

 

To round out this fashionable trio of looks I decided to vamp it up in Celoe's Clara Corset and Yasmine Pants, a perfect blend of softly flowing harem style pants against the rigid but oh so sexy construction of this classic leather corset. Slink's new Studded Booties with their high spiked metal heels, and this soft lacy veil made by LaGyo available at Collabor88 demonstrate once again that edgy and pretty are meant to be together. The striking Faith Skins by PXL Creations, with their many edgy eye and lip make-up options, and my hair fetish du jour LeLutka, gave me more than enough options to go with all of these styles.
