Returning with Gifts

January 14th, 2008 | Category: Attitude, Chic, Fashion, Looks, News, Retro

[Insert Evil Laughter Here]  I have just wished Milla a good evening and she is off to bed, so it’s time for some mischief.  Well,  not really… but close, I guess?  At this point I’m kinda like that aunt that comes to visit every once in a while with a really good gift for you to quell your sadness of having to spend time with me, right?

 Well, this time I have a good gift for everyone - Lo Jacobs has returned!  Well, sort of.  It’s not really like she was gone in the first place - but her store Luxe Brand has returned in the form of an outlet- selling some of her old designs.  For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember Luxe Brand and Lo Jacobs - it was the clothing store that originally accompanied Dazzle Haute Couture in the Dazzle sim before it closed down in 2006.  And let me be the first to say, there are some real treasures in there for those willing to go look.  (The Military Coat, The White Victorian Top, The Empire Bondage Tops, and the Black Widow Top to name a few.)

I have been asked about this top a lot; especially recently.  It’s perhaps one of my most prized possessions in my inventory - the White Vicotian Top.  I’ve paired it with a multitude of things since I purchased it last year, but today I’ve opted for a pair of high-waisted black shorts (from the new OPIUM Everyday by Alaska Metrolpolitan) and knee high leather boots.  The top itself has a certain amount of sophistication and class that I felt needed a bit of sex appeal to give the look the right amount of balance.

YSL in SL

September 16th, 2007 | Category: Editorial, Fashion, News

I received an interesting information pack today from AndreaMedia announcing that Yves Saint Laurent will soon be releasing a new fragrance “Elle”. The description of the fragrance reads:

Yves Saint Laurent’s newest fragrance, Elle, is a ‘new era’ for YSL. Elle is a very feminine scent with a touch of the masculine. The fragrance is said to be woody, spicy and floral. It was created by perfumers Jacques Cavallier and Oliver Cresp of Firmenish, one of the top companies in the fragrance and flavour business.

YSL Elle

From what I have gathered, YSL will be opening a sim in occasion of the fragrance release. It all happens on the 1st of October 2007. The sim, which I think will be called “YSL Elle”, will be dedicated to art and exhibitions, and AndreaMedia are seeking artists, photographers or sculptors to submit pieces on the subject “The New Modern Woman”. Accepted pieces will be included in “future resident exhibitions”.

Submissions should be sent to laurent.heckmann@gmail.com
