I attended Instyle Fashion Agency’s gala yesterday, celebrating the selection of 27 beautiful ladies who will go on to compete in SL’s New Fashion Icon competition — -check out the Instyle Fashion Agency blog for more details. Anyhow, the dress code was “black tie formal” and this was my frock for the evening.
It’s unavoidable, it’s February the 14th whether you like it or not. However, fear not, I have a look for you which ever camp you fall into. Lets start with the lovers.

New Years Eve is all about celebrating the coming of a new year; an event that is universal. Often times, this marks the end of a certain chapter in people’s lives and the beginning of something new – a rebirth. Millions of people worldwide are making their New Years resolutions, promising to forget their mistakes of the past year and move forward with a fresh outlook on the coming year. But New Years isn’t only about forgetting the past year and moving forward – it’s about remembering the events and the people who left an imprint on your life, and taking those imprints and moving into the future with them to create a better new year and learn from the past.
2007 marked tons of milestones and changes for the world of Second Life, but in the world of Fashion, it will be remembered as none other than the year of Ginny Talamasca for me, and I’m sure many others. Ginny ended 2006, for those who remember – with the closing of the hugely popular “Dazzle Haute Couture” store and a massive sale – and brought in the New Year with the opening of “Last Call”, creating a huge stir amongst the fashion community which has forever been changed. Today’s outfit is a tribute to the life and contributions of Ginny Talamsca in Second Life, as well as all the real lives that he touched; sending off 2007 looking fierce and fabulous – just how Ginny would have liked it:
There is no-one on the Second Life grid who dresses a woman quite like Ginny does. There are literally hundreds of Ginny Talamasca creations to choose from when looking for that perfect dress to wear to an evening event. I chose this particular dress because I felt that it encompassed all that Ginny embodies in the world of fashion; beauty, glamour, and elegance with an overwhelming amount of sex appeal. And to quote Ginny himself: “Beauty is always in style.”

Hi everyone! I have a really horrible habit of babbling, so I’m going to try to keep this short and sweet. I am really excited and truly flattered that Milla has asked me to fill in for her in the blog while she is away on holiday and I hope I can manage to bring you all your daily dose of fashion without getting too boring! I dont imagine that I’ll be able to quite fill Milla’s shoes, but I’ll try to at least bring you all some of my own flavor in the meantime.
Annnyway, the idea of being published in the Fashion Planet feed has totally given me a case of SLebrity Syndome, and therefor I have decided that today’s outfit would be inspired by that; a perfect introduction – something simple and classy that’s appropriate for any of those SLebrity events you may be attending:
I’ve started out with this absolutely gorgeous dress by Miriel Enfield that actually was a freebie (even better!) before it was available in her store; the Echo dress. For me, color is always a huge deciding factor when I’m going to purchase something, and very typical to Miriel’s style the Echo dress has this beautiful fade where the colors blend ever so delicately to combine two colors which compliment each other very well. As is obvious with a dress like this, very little accessory is actually needed, but I wanted to add something to spice it up without making it too over-the-top, so I’ve accessorized with pieces from Caliah Lyon’s recent Kailena set; which I actually feel give it a bit more of a casual feel. Finished off with a pair of metallic gold pumps to match and a unique up-do to show off at least a little skin at the shoulders, the whole look was complete with little to no fuss at all; just how I like it!

So I stopped goofing around and went lady-like.
The reason for the switch was these lovely black pumps — from another fantastic new shoe designer! Us shoe-a-holics are getting serious overdoses of gorgeousness lately. These latest are by Storm Schmooz Footwear and it was Ben Vanguard over on SL Men.com who tipped me off. I adore them! I also adore this cocktail dress in black and silver – it has some fantastic texturing.
I saw this dress on the Fashion Feed and immediately felt the urge for a serious dose of super girlieness — who can resist pink satin?!
I went a little over the top with the white (and wild) fur coat…. just couldn’t help myself. I did exercise some restraint with the rest of the accessories and kept them to classy pearls.
A high and elegant updo (the fabulous Sofia from ETD) and dark red lips.
I felt for a catwalk look today and decided to wear this gorgeous red Paper Couture dress; but I wanted it with a twist…
The twist being the PVC thigh-high boots, which I then echoed with the long gloves. I must say I’m happy with the contrast of the couture-like dress and dominatrix boots.
I like this slightly messy updo here, to avoid being too formal. The lips are blood red and bold.

The Classy Diva is cool and collected as she confidently glides over the floor mingling and chatting with other guests at The Big Award Ceremony, or at a Benefit Gala or Fund Raiser.
This classically cut beauty of a dress from Blaze works wonderfully for the occasion. Paired with upswept hair and discrete diamonds the look is complete.
The Fashion Diva can be seen at major premieres and openings. She will walk the red carpet like a pro and attract all the paparazzi attention.
This stunning dress from Last Call, with the corsette bodice and sheer and sparkly hem just oozes sensual glamour. Hair is curled by the shoulders to add Hollywood feel to the look.
The Party Diva always gets invited to The Parties and she makes sure they are hopping. She will take to the dance floor and party all night.
This fabulous and original dress from X3D is perfect for dancing the night away. The bold colours and the sexy cleavage will get you noticed and the unusual skirt petals are wonderful in movement. Acutally, the dress looks completely different when standing still; have a look at the thumbnails here below to see what I mean.
