Romance Free
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Here’s an anti-romance look before we go into romantic overdrive tomorrow.
It’s a rock chic dress with lots of attitude that I just love –it’s from Punch Drunk, and quite frankly, the best work I’ve seen from them so far. I accessorised with a sexy collar (on the Spine) and a little black and silver necklace (on Chest) and some fierce stud cuffs.
A word on these new shoes from Maitreya: In my little honest opinion, they have taken shoe design in Second Life to a new level. Never mind the exquisite technical execution (which we have come to expect from Maitreya by now) it’s the very design that gets my belly fluttering — we have a platform with a ridiculously high heel that come together in a BEAUTIFUL silhouette, which looks so high-fashion it hurts! There are other designers on the grid, who perhaps strive for that same panache, but never really manage to shake the hooker-heel feel from their footwear. This is NOT the case with these….. Bravo!, Onyx Leshelle

Red and Grey
Monday, February 11th, 2008After a very glam-filled weekend, it’s time to get back to mundane activities. In my case decorating my beautiful new house! I needed an outfit for zipping around the grid like a mad women obsessively looking for the perfect lounge furniture.
I wanted something causal yet feminine and found the perfect combination with this grey Tee (with a gorgeously open back) and this funky, tiered red skirt that sits quite low on the hips in a casually sexy way. I continued with reds and greys in the cuffs and the pumps.

Urban Chick
Monday, February 4th, 2008I’ve had these over-knee boots for a while and I’ve been wanting to wear them, but I never managed a look that didn’t look just trashy. So, today I experimented with an urban, rock-chic version and I think the boots come out looking good.
I wanted a tiny leather jacket with a large sweater underneath and, oh my was that difficult! This little biker jacket here was perfect and caused no problem; the trouble started with finding something longer that was NOT on the Jacket Layer — eventually (after a lot of testing, fiddling and hair pulling) I went with this sweater on the Shirt Layer and a piece from a Camie Cooper Tee on the Pants Layer (God bless Camie Cooper, the queen of providing ALL layers) to cover the midriff part. Granted, the midriff part is not in the same colour as the sweater, but I actually kind of like the contrast. Finally, the sweater I used, came with this prim bottom attachment that was perfect for that big loose feeling I wanted. I continued with black pants (on the Underpant layer) and then added a beret just because it felt right.
Oh dear, I hope all that was not too confusing! A disclaimer: the bottom prim part of the sweater was actually really hard to make fit perfectly (I never managed a perfect fit), so if you prefer, just skip it for less of a headache.

Casual Rock
Saturday, January 26th, 2008I really had no intention of posting today as I like to be lazy on Saturdays. However, I went to check out this new-to-me shop, Emery, and I immediately fell for this causal yet rocky dress.
Although it’s definitely a dress, I felt for a more slouchy T-shirt kind of look and added a pair of white skinny jeans and a belt around the hips. My feet went into these pointy stilettos with the strong fuchsia providing an element of colour and picking up on the print on the dress.

Earthy Hot…
Monday, January 21st, 2008Here’s an earthy and hot look to get you noticed.
The dress is one of those that really does all the work on its own. It’s sexy, well cut and well textured — I especially like the lacy texture on the skirt prims. However, there is a big drawback; the price. At 800L$ it’s perhaps stretching it a little.
Nevertheless, it’s definitely a dress I like and enjoy wearing. I paired it with a pair of knee-high brown boots, wood jewellery and super-sexy hair.

Pink Chick
Friday, January 18th, 2008A rock-chic look with a splash of feminine pink.
The centre piece is of course the pink leather jacket, which I paired with a plain black T-shirt and black skinny jeans. I chose these sexy knee-high boots and the studded belt for some edge.

This necklace here is actually one of the very first pieces I ever bought! It works perfectly for this look. I finished off with the slouchy hat on straight hair for a current flavour.

Chic, Sexy and Slouchy
Thursday, January 10th, 2008I realise this dress is by no means a new release but for some mysterious reason it had passed me by completely and I only discovered it today.
Simply put; I adore it! Another fab creation from Maitreya. It’s casual yet chic and has a relaxed sexiness about it — this dress will take you anywhere you need to go. I only added a pair of knee-high boots, some wooden bangles and sexy hair to complete the look.

Casual Leathers
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Here’s a combination of two current favourites of mine.
It’s the leather Bomber jacket (with a great hoody) and the superb brown casual boots that Sofia found the other day. The Bomber is another product out of Muism and yet again they prove to me to be one of the top jacket designers on the grid. I combined it with a white turtleneck sweater (on the Shirt layer and system Underpants in white to cover the gap between jacket and jeans) and really skinny dark jeans, which together with the boots make for a warm and cosy winter’s day look. I also added a white bag for a little lightness. This is something I would typically wear on a normal day in RL.
A word on the bling in the boots: I had lots of trouble removing the bling script and replacing it with a “no bling script” to make it actually stop — but that is very likely due to my clumsiness with prim-manipulations (the script sits in the lower buckle on each boot). I also wanted to give you the link to an article over on Second Style Fashionista with a free “no bling” script offered by Celebrity Trollop – Click Here. It’s not always enough to remove the bling script, you have to replace it with one of these to make it really stop.
