Living In Color

Just when I had resigned myself to the upcoming Winter doldrums, two fantastic designers made me do a 180, with incredible brights and fun designs. I was inspired to play up a hint of Burlesque, maybe it was the frothy fluffy fur hats and collars by Maxi Gossamer, out today at Collabor88, or the circa 1980s brights of Maitreya Gold's latest release, Liaison.

 

I do love a fun hat, and the colors of these seemed just perfect to inject a little energy rush into my blog post. Maxi Gossamer didn't stop with a great hat, she gave us the collars too, they can certainly be worn together or split up for a little less 'look', and as always Maxi maximizes the value of her creations by offering us 2 shades per pack, that is two hats and two collars for that great Collabor88 price. I was so lucky to get in a grab them the first day.

 

Another designer that consistently gives you more than one look per purchase is Maitreya, especially when it comes to items in her Maitreya Gold footwear series. Once again Onyx LeShelle gives us the 'Transformers' of shoes, it is a pump with a super sexy slim metal heel, but it also can be an ankle strap pump, or one with a knit half sock (with or without the ankle strap), and the colors range from great neutrals to neon brights. You also get a healthy range of sock colors and even a selection of sole colors. Such great value!

Fall Romance

Sometimes the best romance is the promise of romance yet to come. As Fall hits its stride in SL it means that the Fall 2012 Collections are ripe for the harvest, and Celoe is poised to release a truly wonderful collection in the next few days. I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek and gravitated instantly to the beautiful Poppy Dress, in many solid shades and prints inspired by the glory of galaxies far far away. What better way to share these gowns than surrounded by falling leaves and the sunlight dancing between them as they fall.

The Celoe Fall 2012 releases will begin to arrive at Mayfair starting on November 2nd. For a more detailed summary of these looks from Head to Toes please see below.
