Elegance
I miss the days when we used to wear a gown at least once a week in Second Life, where did those events go? did people get busier or leave? I know that we often talk about those days gone by, and I do know that people do still go out dancing and on dates in Second Life, and thankfully because of that we still get creators making such beautiful items for us to wear and enjoy.
As soon as I saw the latest hair release from Maitreya I was so glad that I did not already shoot the Nadera Gown the other day when showing other DCNY items…my bloggers fate I guess, because the hair and gown go hand in hand together.
The stunning french twist hairstyle is so incredibly beautiful and yet you could easily wear it to the office as well…a tight updo such as this is always a crowd pleaser, and this one definitely had me at hello, as Mel loves updo’s and he really likes Maitreya hair textures as he thinks they look so soft and pretty.
The Nadera Gown was another item shown at the fashion show recently, that time in a gorgeous navy blue, all the colours are as breathtaking as each other…so whichever one draws you in you will be more than happy. The plunging back with the crisscross lacing is stunning, and the fishtail bottom just divine. Make sure you have a look at this gown and all of the other beautiful formal and semi formal items at DCNY when you are next in need of something so beautiful.

Fierce
I had some great news today regarding Hair Fair.
Sharing the hair stage today with IA Ivanka Akina and Exile, all such gorgeous wigs, but need to point out that the one with the two tone look does not come that way. I purchased the textures that many use now, and carefully made a copy first and then used both the solid and alpha options on the front bangs, luckily I made a copy first because the first time I got carried away and ruined some, but if you stick to the pieces that do not say multiple in the edit window you will be fine.
Three pics of punkish but girly still style looks. The first lot are tshirts and shorts by IA, and because they come on all layers they are versatile to mix and match, the shorts are just darling. The tshirts are a lot of fun too, there are more than the four shown, but my fav out of those would have to be the candy cane ribcage.
The second pic has some amazing dresses by DeeTalez, these leather dresses have that horror movie lab coat look going on, and they honestly scare the hell out of me, but so hot all at the same time. I toned down the look a little with the hair choice, but seriously go with some straight bangs and severe heels and you could turn many into monsters.
A while back 5th & Oxford did a Rebel Rebel release, and I have used pieces from it in the past, but more so today. The denim skirts come with belt and skirt attached or seperate, some great tanks that are a bit more glitz and would work with many going out looks, and the interweaving of some older MichaMi pieces brought it all together for me, I love that jacket, it is so pretty.
Stellar would be another fabulous store for punkish girly looks, but this time I went with their latest swimwear…that lucky for you two colours in a different pattern are todays Stellar Hump day special , so you get them at a bargain price. These ones are retro lovely, and the colours they come in are beautiful, the two bandana prints available today are blue and red, but I wanted you to see the retro versions as well.
The shoes I am wearing with them worked so well also, because just like when playing golf, some women wear heels poolside. The YS & YS shoes are so sexy, and they come in two different ranges of colours and adornments, which I think are just so this coming summer looks. They have all the usual YS HUD options, and they also come in a viewer 2 option. If you hurry to The Dressing Room there is actually a pair in white there for only 75L, so grab those because that is a steal.
With all these looks I am wearing the NEW Martina skin by LAQ. This skin has a beautiful face, much stronger in character I think than previous. I love the thicker brow that seems to be fairly obvious in this skin, with the usual tones and hair base option, sensational body and a great range of make ups, ten in all. Some of them more subtle than others, but a lovely range none the less.
When looking at skins it is really important as I have said in the past to DEMO them, not only in the store, but at home using your own lighting, the other thing is that it is really important to get naked to do so. Now this may not be for the reasons you think.
I have been witness to people disapointment with skins and blemishes over the years, and it was only because of Mel teaching me did I come to understand that sometimes those marks are not on the skin at all. Sometimes residue from clothing can look to be skin blemishes, and be no where near the actual line of the clothing, so it goes unrecognised as such.
So please make sure that if you do see something a little off on a skin, that you are in fact naked first and rebake as much as possible until you judge it on skin alone, it may just be something you are wearing stopping you from purchasing something you really like.
The poses in the last pic are latest prop poses by Glitterati, you wear the correct numbered beach ball, and the corresponding pose works with it, so cute, and the ball is click to change texture.

Fore score and twenty yards to go
The first thing he said (Mel) was ” You’re playing golf in heels?” my response was ‘Of course’ I mean seriously how else would one play golf? I recently went to the Modiva Fashion show and wanted to rip this first outfit right off the model, I even said so out loud.
The Farah outfit from DCNY is just wonderful, with it’s old time charm and current style, it is just a beautiful combination of colour and print. I especially like that I can take apart the pieces and wear them independently of each other, those gaucho pants are going to get lots of wear, and the socks for sure.
Perfect shoes for this combination for me are the high oxfords by Tesla, she is back by the way, and I cannot wait to see what she has brought back with her.I am wearing the Time gone by necklace again by Glow Studios knowing as soon as I put this outfit on that it was a must… the pocket watch look is just beautiful and if you have been looking for something like it make sure to check it out.
Wearing other lovely pieces from DCNY this time mixing and matching with the newness from Maitreya, the combinations in the colours are so easy, and the shoes and socks options just all worked so well together. The Raine shorts and leggings are so cute, and again can be worn separately of each other. The leggings even have sculpted ends – not worn – for a more ruched look, and the skater knee pads that are part of the texture are so cute, not that I will be doing any rollerskating or skateboarding in this outfit, it is too cute to sweat in.
The Camden jackets are another gorgeous new item from Maitreya, and the colours, texture and style are so perfect for the up coming weather. Light enough for spring summer, and adorable enough for not so freezing wintery days I am soon to have…hopefully not so freezing this year *prays. That is why I had to check with the lovely sweater from DCNY and look how well it fit underneath *chuckles.
That and the vintage bra from Maitreya, that goes so well with the Allure with Socks shoes, these are sooo cute, I love all three of the styles available in this release, each have their own charm, todays charm is all about the ankle socks and the textures they come in are yum.
The hair I am wearing in the second shot is by Exile, it is a new style called Carly and originally came with a rainbow like texture on the headband, yay for mod copy hair, because I totally copied it and changed the texture to one more in keeping with my look, and still have the rainbow for more colourful days.
Rocking it out with the Amacci Giselle skin again, I really like the pixie look it gives my shape, I am starting to think I might have to dig out the elf ears I have stashed away somewhere and give it a whole whirl lol. Until then though make sure you DEMO DEMO DEMO.

For the Boys – Stuff like that there
I was so excited to be able to blog the pieces that I have on today, but it wasn’t until I was up on my VR Studio stand that I realised what it was that made me so fond of the pieces as a whole. If you have never seen the movie For the Boys starring Bette Midler and James Caan you have done yourself a disservice. Not only is it incredibly music and comedy, but an emotional ride over many decades. I myself have seen it probably half a dozen times, and wish now I had a copy on hand, because I would enjoy a good sunday sobfest.
Not only is the title relevant for the looks, but also because most of it is just that, for the boys. All of the clothing except for the obvious lingerie pieces are by Casa Cheerno, a menswear store that I have enjoyed watching ever since they graced us at Hair Fair a while back. Even then trying on all the hair, I just had to find a style that was wearable for girls too.
Well today I am giving the clothing a run around town, and I tell you what you would have to pry the clothing from me if it was RL and some guy wanted his stuff back. The sweaters are just gorgeous, the fabric choice that you know is totally rocking for that kind of overstretched cowl neck look. The pieces are scripted for resizing and a few shrinks and a tiny tweak with the rotate and push down and forward, and I was good to go fit wise.
Now if you had seen me in world yesterday you would have possibly seen me in the black combination, because I was so rocking that all day and night. The Olimpia wide legged pants from LeLutka are so versatile and stylish. I really like how the folded top of them looks to be a part of the sweater itself, for a bit of an extra smoosh.
The hat is adorable, it comes studded or not and again totally rocking out my inner Bette in that, I even went with red hair for that me without thinking. The other accessory of mention is the Sunglasses from Casa Cheerno as well, they have a great shape and come studded or not also, full sculpted and a great overall everyday style, but very sleek and upmarket style wise.
The second look has given me the chance to wear the gorgeous new lingerie as outerwear pieces by Maitreya, released earlier today. It is always way too long between clothing releases from Maitreya, and these would have to be some of the best work Onyx has done IMO they are so beautiful constructed, and so much thought went into the collection as usual, and I know Onyx has wanted some lingerie that you can wear with lots of looks in the store for a long time.
Traveling downwards to the new Allure shoes with Tights also by Maitreya Gold. There are three types you can choose to buy, the bare ones having the beautiful prim feet and toenails to tint with hud etc, or the Allure Socks version which has ankle length socks in an abundance of colours, and then lastly the version I have on with tights, not only stockings but also knee highs which look adorable and I have to control myself from not wearing with everything.
The open toed with socks look is so retro disco diva I just love it. You even get a full leggings version as well, so fun…cannot wait to see what people do with these outfits wise.
Skipping across to my pants, OMG these pants also from Casa Cheerno are just amazing looking. Now I have to tell you the pants aren’t full covering up top, but that is what makes them even hotter, the finish on them is wonderful, they don’t show too much bum cleavage just the right amount. The pinstripe is excellent and faint enough to be stylish and not too patterny looking, but it is the cuffs that are my favourite as one leg has the most gorgeous button detailing you can see in the pics. They even have creases under the bum for a realism you don’t realise you miss until you see it. I LOVE THESE PANTS.
The hair I am wearing is the second style I mentioned the other day by Tiny Bird, the hair is loosely braided at the back and has a semi french braid without being one, look to it.
No more talking….get thee to the shopping.

The One Days
When I was little I wanted to be Ann Margaret, I also wanted to be Doris Day, Sophia Loren and most of all Gidget. To be honest, I think I wanted to be all the women of the silver screen, at one time – until I read a book by her housekeeper – I even wanted to be Marilyn Monroe, seriously that book ruined that, I have never been able to enjoy her since reading that book * McSadface. There is just some stuff you should never know about your heroes.
I used to watch a show called Time Tunnel, it also starred the actor that played MoonDoggy in Gidget, probably why I wanted to BE Gidget lol. That is him on the right Click to see . With the items being shown today, I definitely would need a Time Tunnel, with the outfits being from decades apart, but both have definitely been featured in small and large ways ever since, there is one hit wonder fashion, and then there are timeless classics, and both of these looks are classics.
Tres Beau as a store is a bit like that, as I have mentioned before in a past post, the store has been around for many years in SL and with the creations forever flowing, I am sure it will be around for many more. At the moment there is a sale for some items, one which is the gorgeous Daffodil set I picked up earlier today. The items that are on sale are in a separate section, there is a TP board at the entrance to the Main Store, so you cannot get lost.
The Daffodil set comes with the hat, purse and pearls, which adds even more to the outfit, and as you can see I wore the pearls again with the second look. It is such a beautiful full skirted dress and there are other floral prints as well as a divine check I may have to go back for before the sale ends.
The hair I am wearing in that pic is from Magika, the latest Linda hair, so pretty as a ponytail, but with the braided bangs adding a lot more charm to a common style. I am really loving not only the style of hair, but the colours in which Magika does their releases now, they really are enjoyable in their own right.
The second look is the most amazing flapper style dress I have ever seen, RL or SL. Ok well maybe 1920’s styled is more descriptive. The colours and texture are just incredible. It even comes with an adorable cloche hat, which in the picture I am holding, because I wanted to wear the latest hair by Tiny Bird instead of a more traditional kiss curls look. It is called Two Weeks and is one of two styles just released, both are braided and both are so beautifully girly.
If trying to match some shoes to this dress I would look no further than the Ixkin in champagne, the colour works so well with the feathery falls of the dress. I wish I had somewhere to wear this dress too right now, instead of just my posestand, but one day I will dance in it, it is just one of those incredibly beautiful sets you just have to have for the ‘one days’.

Hey Jean
Enough looks for a week. I have been doing some other things with Whimsy all week and it has been exciting. But really wanted to take the time to put together a whole lot of different looks featuring one or two items all the way through.
In the first pic I am featuring hair from Magika, her latest releases are just stunning, Sabina has totally nailed Sculpted hair and I am so looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us in the future. I also would love to see more of the wavey styles such as Kelly on the right, that style is super sexy, and those waves are perfect.
The latest shoes from Orange Creations are really pretty, with their strappyness and really nice colours. I especially like the option to change the straps to brown or black, and played on that throughout the post. The presets for skin are very helpful as well as nails and size options, the HUD works really well, I did have to move mine though as it took off my VR Studio HUD and that just won’t do.
When I last went to BP* I just about threw myself at the wall to get the adorable cropped denim jacket, it is so cute, makes you feel all little and stuff. Not only was it perfect to wear with the Jeans version of the Melanie shoes, but the Jules skirt by Maitreya matched in denim so well I was stoked.
I also wanted to wear the jeans texture with something a little dressier, so the vintage dress from Niavi was perfect, I hope Zoe is making lots more clothing, her style is fabulous, and her talent can only get better. This dress is simple and yet perfect for date night.
Whimsy and I went exploring the other day, and I came across Mikan. I haven’t to my knowledge been there before, and the hair is just gorgeous, especially the one in the middle which I couldn’t get enough of, the texture the curls, it has that straight from the surf dried by the sun look about it I love.
All three wonderful styles are from there, and the one on the left which is incredibly striking was only 1L and a gift hair on the floor near the lucky chairs. The latest releases from Fri.day remind me of Canimal and her trip to the UK, when she came back she did a huge punk themed release, and this one totally reminds me of the mod girls of the 80’s.
The pic in the middle should have a blouse but I couldn’t resist the without it look, but still keeping the collar and tie, and how awesome does the Byzantine Cross necklace look poking through the tie, I look like a Catholic Girls Gone wild promoter. The reverie dress has so many options, you get the shirts on their own to wear as shirts, you get the inbuilt shirt with top of dress look for that uniform look, and you get the dress on its own, and it is HOT HOT HOT. The simplicity of it is what makes it so sexy.
Now onto the white Melanies, this is where I ended up stopping only because once I got the middle look; I refused to change from it lol. On the left though we have the Tease dress by Luck Inc, and you only get a tease, because no way will you see the front. It is definitely an exposing dress, I can wish that CK had done a more modest version, but pfft not likely. But I do get to save it for private time :P.
The jumper on the right is a delightful casual look for those that love the Luck Inc style, It is modest enough, but the back cut out still keeps it all sexy, and it is something that can be worn at anytime. Even the sexier stores have to give their customers something to sit on a couch and cuddle in watching tv, cannot always be looking like you cannot wait to tp to the next party.
The middle look is what I will spend the rest of the day in, even though the jeans are cheek flashers, the tank dress totally covers that, and makes the whole look a touch more stylish especially with the new Lucid belt from Fri.day. I love mid torso belts, and this thin one is aces.
The skin I am wearing throughout the post is the latest Elle skin from Belleza. There are twenty make ups on this skin, with hair base and cleavage options. I think that Elle has a style to the face that means you can be playful and youthful, or classy and mature, which is exactly what one wants in a skin line, especially if you do like to play around with lots of looks, but prefer one skin.
Make sure you try all the demos, and if you haven’t done Belleza before try them all not just Elle, because you never know, an older skin may be more to your liking.
I am wearing the latest nails from Exodi, in the silver, which gives you options of embelishments such as glitter, you can buy them as singles ( I couldn’t find a pack ) for only 100L they have three sizes and are MOD MOD MOD so yay for real fitting capabilities.
Have a great weekend…

Redcoats are coming
Whimsy just kidnapped me.Loving the new military style Tourist jacket from Fri.day, it totally compliments the older DeLa boots that have those similar brass buttons up the side that I love. I kind of felt all ex british hunter/soldiery, so went with layering some pieces from MichaMi one with a kind of animal print effect that was originally part of a swimsuit set, but totally rocks when layering.
What is not to love with the belt from Veschi, this comes with the dresses that are must haves anyways, so you will have ample opp to wear them. Banging out in my Maitreya roll up shorts to finish this stylish but way comfy look. The choice of what colour to feature today was made easy with the make up in the Elena Skin pack. This one number three is divine for those that love their rich red/burgundy’s.
Posebility is the creator of the pose used in this pic, they are another of the stores at the Pose Fair, check it out if you haven’t before it ends on the 16th.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Kissing Bandit
I was having an awesome day yesterday, then it turned to crapola…not to worry though I turned it around because the lindens immortalised me and some friends in the new viewer wooot! One of the highlights of course was BOOOOOOOOTS.
I love boots, I could wear them all year. These new Quinn boots by SLink are just divine, the texturing, the style and the options to be open toed or not. There was a pair set out for 50L friday and if you missed out then thank goodness you can buy the regular colours because they are all must haves. My favourite thing other than the colours, the heels, the open toedness etc, is the scrunched down leathery look of the ankles, I love that attention to detail that has them all authentic and stuffs.
Beetlebones just released some beautiful Slouchy tunic style dresses, in soft textures and colours. The pulled up and puffed out elasticated band look is tops, and I think the length is just girly perfect, especially for wearing BOOOOOOTS.
I wanted something to wear around the neck, but wasn’t really feeling accessories need but more of a snuggle fest need, so the voluminous scarf and hair 3 by Maitreya fit the bill perfectly. They are texture change and have a great colour range that worked in really well with the dresses.
What I did do accessories wise was the new bags by Fri.day, these dreamcatcher bags come totally set up to shoulder wear, hand wear or non scripted for anywhere wear lol. The colours of those are so many and so perfect to go with all your leathery goodness. I wonder if vegans and anti leather wearing peoples actually wear virtual leather ? or would that compromise some integrity or something? I guess if it is pretending to be, it is just as bad *shrugs* not sure, interested to know though.
I get another chance to wear Elena by LAQ the lips on this skin just make me wanna smoochy everybody, so watch out, if you wake up with keyboard face and lippy on your cheek, it is because I the kissing bandit came to Elena smooch you.

United Colours of
Do you remember those United Colours of Benetton ads? They hit the airwaves mid 80’s for us down under, and we were all besotted by their diversity and wow factor. I mean that was the point right, to show the diversity in the world and the fact that their brand saw that there was a need to show everyone in advertising campaigns, example here .
There is girly girl in all of us, even those girls that think they don’t have any in them. When Emma Gilmour was talking about her latest big release, there was giggles as we spoke about that surfer girl mumbling and grumbling as on her hands and knees she had to rummage in their closets for a dress and proper shoes to attend some party or dance she didn’t want to go to in the first place.
She is kidding herself of course, because that dance/party is going to be the one were the boy she has loved forever finally looks at her as a girl and not just one of the boys. It will be her first kiss as waves crash down as the moon returns to the other side of the world…it is going to be that night, the night she realises why women buy pretty lingerie and shave their legs other than being aerodynamic for sports lol.
She is going to pull out this dress, the one her mum bought her in hopes that one day she would turn into a young lady, the kind of dress that suits all girls, the colours the fabric, the way it isn’t so constricting that you can feel uncomfortable in it, but not too loose that you look frumpy. It has enough swish to make you want to walk a little slower and imagine what it would be like to dance in it with that boy.
She may be the kind of girl that grabs a colourful scarf and ties it around her waist with a bow at the back just because it adds a different element to her look, and that way she feels a little bit more herself. She knows heels will be expected, but she is going to cheat a little with the vintage style wedges that she might have gotten out of her mums wardrobe, or even picked up at a jumble sale once because the colours reminded her of her favourite surfboard.
The dresses, the shoes and the belts by Surf Co. are just so fabulous you can really see how my story could be possible, totally inspiring and I got to shoot my own United Colours of looks. Which wasn’t so hard with me on my VR Studio roll, straight after the tutorial all I wanted to do was more more more, and I got to show you again how incredibly easy it is to use the VR Studio HUD to achieve things like this :).
The Glance skins gave me a chance to be as many girls as I could manage with no sleep, again the diversity is wonderful and I hope to see lots more from this skin maker. I really liked how with these particular skins without changing shape I did take on a different look, some of course I still look like me, but it is remarkable how the skin and mesh work in Second Life. The bodies of the skins are just gorgeous too, and wow you should see Whimsy in the Beyonce one , that post coming soon I hope.
The fabulous poses and animations used to do this pic are all by Body Language, they have a great big release at the Pose Fair starting 2nd April so make sure to check those out, full AO’s and poses that are just gorgeous , especially the two breast covering packs, we can never have too many of those.
These dresses and shoes make me glad I am a girly girl, and even if I wasn’t I soon would be.

Breathe in and HOLD
Purple Punishment week is almost over, but as I said before I am having too much fun. I still don’t think I will go to one purple as a first choice ever, but I don’t think I will entirely rule it out, and I love how the other ones look. Today somehow ended up being a corset post, I love corsets, in all of their styles, I especially love them when the designer makes them on all options, so that they work with everything, as was the case with these ones today.
With the Addict corsets in the first pic, it is lucky that Kianna did them on every layer including pants, so that I would be able to wear it over underpants layered jeans, and still wear the fabulous new no collar leather jacket by Aoharu, or if I had opted for a cardigan or shrug on the jacket layer. Layers really enhance the experience on how you can get the most out of your wardrobe.
The skinny jeans and frayed come on both pants and underpants layers, so this makes them fun and versatile too. I could have kept layering and mixing and matching these four pieces all day. The second pic veered away from the purple, but again showed the beauty of layer options. Wearing a cropped top on the jacket layer, over a corset on the pants and shirt layer, over a mini skirt on the underpants layer. Eclectic Apparel, Dark Eden and Urbanity all having layers for everything made that so possible. With the large expanse of skin in this look, you may be fooled into thinking not necessary, but the trim on the corset is actually on the underpants layer.
What is fun, is that the corset by Eclectic Apparel is in fact a full breast covering corset, but with the cropped shirt over the top, it looks like an underbust cinch belt style one instead. Whimsy and I took a trip to Xplosion, haven’t been since way back, and wow have they grown in leaps and bounds. Mind you the store was huge already, but I couldn’t resist the cute tank girl stockings, which don’t cover the feet, so I wonder if they are stockings at all, maybe calf coverings ? I don’t know, but they are hot.
Addict has been updating a storm lately, the doubs gloves are another of their great new releases, with either gold or silver buttons they can be fun and funky, or a little more stylised depending on look. I pulled out the older sculpted Anklets by Maitreya, I have not worn these in ages, and mentioned them to Newdoll the other day, and decided I needed to show them some love today.
A Bargain today is the Fawn hair in the last pic by Adam n Eve, this hair is great and it allowed me to get my Cher on. It is part of the 69L humpday promotion, so don’t miss out on the savings there. Other Adam n Eve items are the C ‘mere shoes I have so much fun with, as well as the leather pants which are just beautifully made. Dreams has released a new set of corsets as well this week, with houndstooth as shown as well as ribbed and animal prints.
I also have on one of the latest collars, neko style with adorable diamond paw print dangle. It comes with bling or no bling options, and has a colour change menu. Lots of fun and the cute Cat box that some of the neko items are packed in is awesome.
I love my Ife skins by LeLutka, but today went with the first love on that line Estella, with the beauty marks that are just so lovely. Great hair bases too, with light and dark options.
All my poses today were created by Miseria, I cannot wait until she produces more poses to play with, hopefully she is in the pose fair coming up on the 2nd of April , not sure though, will have to wait to see.
