Happy New Year!
2008

I hope you all had a very happy and safe New Year - and hopefully reading this blog while delicately nursing that miserable hang-over.  It’s crazy to think that it’s once again a whole new year - I feel like only yesterday it was the beginning of 2007 and the prospects of what the new year may bring were buzzing around the grid; and I must say - 2007 certainly did deliver in that respect, and I was not disappointed.  In today’s post I’d like to focus on some of the content creators who I think will be making a big splash in the fashion community through the course of 2008 - or at least the ones I’ll be watching for. 

Most of us will have visited more than one party last night, and today’s outfit is what I like to call “the after party dress” - it’s a little edgy and funky, and extremely sexy - for those of you who made appearances all over the place, can’t be seen in the same dress twice (especially in one night!) - right?

One color that I have started to see getting picked up lately is purple; I don’t know if I would go so far as to say it will be the color of next season, but I definitely feel like a purple trend is starting - and so therefor I started this look with Shai Delacroix’s gorgeous Lilac Wine Dress.  It’s just so elegant and sexy and despite all the textures and lines in the front (and that collar, jeez), the open back is really where the party is.  To me, this dress is a perfect example of the necessary balance between sexy and classy.  I have paired it with Storm Schmooz’s latest knee high boot which is simple enough to not overpower the dress, but also provides an adequate amount of sex appeal to keep it balanced.  And finally considering the dresses collar, it was pretty difficult to find the right hair without making it seem weighed down - but after much consideration, I’ve revisited my love affair with all that is Victoria Beckham and gone once more for that super textured short bob; which I think is going to be HUGE this year in both real life and Second Life - if you don’t consider it huge already.

I’m in a party mood tonight.

So, I wanted something sassy and sexy for today and I must have tried on everything in black in my Inventory — I just couldn’t make up my mind! I finally settled on this gorgeous blouse (which is actually the top of a dress) and a classic black mini-skirt with knee-high boots. This should do it!

Super-sexy hair (one of my old all-time ETD favourites) and super-smoky eyes finishes this look.

I haven’t done a Versatility post for ages (i.e. where I put together different looks from the same base piece). Today I’ve used the Shift dress as the base (from Last Call’s Ginny outfit), because a shift dress is an excellent basic that any style conscious Av should have in her inventory. It’s the perfect blank canvas for any look — here I offer up 4 variations for your perusal.

#1. I started with the DIVA

It’s a look for some serious partying in the trendiest of nightclubs, she is dripping in diamonds but she still has an edge. The black boa does almost all the work here, I only added sheer tights, black studded pumps and a clutch. I then went with a platinum spiky updo and smoky eyes for that edge.

LOTS more after the jump!

Time for dancing the night away!

I got the sexy sequinned body suit from the recent sales at X3D (before the re-build) and I have been waiting to wear it since. The bodysuit includes the tube top and booty shorts, and at first I was going to wear it on its own. However, my inner shy girl protested and insisted I cover up some more, so I added just the prim from a black bubble skirt. I continued with black opaque tights and black stockings, again in solid colours to cover up some more — if you’re feeling hoochie you could go for sheer tights and stockings… up to you! I finished off with knee-high boots and long gloves.

Sexy blond tresses were called for here… Eyes are also sexy and smoky.

A dear reader, Priceless Jewell, IM:ed me in-world and asked for a “sexy glam look for a huge party”. How could I resist such a tempting request! Now, I’m not exactly sure what the general dress code for this party is, but I assumed something different and eye-catching would be called for.

The look has something of a naughty ballerina over it. The cut of the dress is delightfully girlie with the tutu-like skirt, but the mini length and the gorgeous gold lamé texture gives it enough glam and sexiness to make you ooze! This one should make you the center of attention.

The funky striped stockings are wonderful and a little unexpected, and they make your legs really pop as you walk. The shoes are also covered in gold lamé and are the perfect partner for this dress. A dress like this does not need a lot of accessories; I only added a delicate necklace, some bangles and a little clutch.

I chose longer hair that would cover up the shoulders just a little bit, and smoky make-up.

If you’ve been reading this blog, chances are you have realised I have a thing about gold…..

So how could I possibly resist these glorious gold metallic pants? They are so sexy that I wanted them for a club night look. I added a purple glitter bikini top (which these pics really don’t show the best of) covered by a see-through shirt. If you are more adventurous than me, you could skip the shirt for a super-duper sexy look. I also indulged in more gold in the form of sexy double necklaces, bracelets and strappy heels.

The hair is also golden and sexy (what else?) and the make-up is heavy on the eyes with blushed cheeks and pale lips.
