Samsara

I’m so excited that Felicity Winslet is opening a new jewelry store! I was sad to see Mariposa close last year right when I was getting back into blogging. Her new store, titled Samsara which means “the indefinitely repeated cycles of birth, misery and death caused by karma,” is set to open soon, though I’m not certain that a definite date has been set yet. As soon as it opens, you will definitely be able to find the link on my blog! Florita Reloaded is one of the pieces which will be released with the opening. The set includs a choker and a bracelet which are available in silver, dark silver and bronze. Scripts are included in the pieces for easy resizing and gem options (eight color choices). Keep an eye out for that landmark!

I know that you can only see a very tiny portion of the outfit that I am wearing, but I really loved the bright red color and wanted to use it for my post even though the design is a little risqué for my personal tastes. The dress, appropriately titled Sizzle Red, is composed of a bikini type top with straps of cloth that cover the breasts and extend down the stomach to meet in a ‘V’ type pattern at the top of the skirt. The skirt portion is a mini with a prim piece included which matches very well with the texture of the skirt. If this sounds like an outfit you would like, please teleport to DK Design where you will find this hot little number for L$55 this week only!

Notorious

There isn’t much that could have made the start of my week better than brilliant jewelry and an amazingly sexy dress. Ok… I’ve had the dress tucked away in my inventory for awhile, but as soon as I saw Le Fleur by Aglaia, I knew the combination would be to die for!

I’m not usually one for system skirt dresses, but I simply could not help myself with Notorious by Siss Boom. The problem I typically have with these types of dresses is that most do not feature a texture which lines up evenly on the top portion and the skirt portion of the dress. I understand the difficulty in accomplishing such a feat in Second Life, but the perfectionist side of me just cannot get over the fact. The texture, as with all other Lestat Reuven designs, featured on Notorious is so soft and elegant and lines up beautifully. Poofy prims attach to each leg giving it a mermaid look at the bottom; a sculpted prim attachment is also included for the back of the dress which gives a little poof look on your hinny. This dress is so stunning and would be a great addition to any wardrobe.

I absolutely love jewelry that stands out and makes a statement. That is exactly what you get with Le Fleur by Aglaia. This chocker type necklace features large gems which are attached at perpendicular angles to create the ‘chain’ of the necklace. A beautifully sculpted abstract design is displayed on the front of the necklace which gives even this very bold piece a fragile, elegant feel. Large gem earrings are included with your purchase to match the gems featured on the necklace.  At only L$150, this set is a definite must have!

Femininity

Femininity. That is what I thought of when I first saw the new release from Siss Boom yesterday. Light a Candle features a soft, elegant texture with beautifully layered ruffles. Sculpted attachments are included for the arms, the spine (neck piece) and the pelvis. A flexi skirt is also included as an under layer to the short, ruffled skirt. This gorgeous dress is available at Siss Boom for the introductory price of L$100 which is sure to not last long. Go pick it up before new specials are released and the price goes up!

Week 11 of 52 Weeks of Color - Indigo

Indigo is the perfect color for how I have been feeling lately. Well, sort of anyway. Indigo is a purplish blue that, of course, exists in several shades. I have definitely been feeling a little blue. Maybe not so much purple, though. Lol ;-)

The outfit I am wearing is actually not that new, and it has been blogged many times before in this color challenge I’m sure. But, I couldn’t help myself. Since I first saw the Love Me Skirt by BOOM, I was in love! It is so sweet and elegant. I like elegance and modesty in both my real life and my second life. After all, my second life truly is a reflection of my real life. There isn’t much difference. The Love Me skirt features a main skirt and two smaller prim pieces attached to each leg to give an underskirt type look. It’s so adorable, and at L$75, you really cannot go wrong.

The top I am wearing is also from BOOM. I love the texture on the 4 Warmth Thermal; the shading and highlighting are beautiful and give a nice depth to your ava. This shirt is very versatile; I couldn’t tell you how many outfits I have paired it with. Even better, it comes in a lot of fantastic colors!

My fab-u-lous boots are from Azoury. If you have never heard of them, please check out my post from yesterday. I’m still in utter shock that these boots, and all shoes at Azoury, are only L$99. They are most definitely worth a lot more, but I’m not complaining about the Lindens saved!! More boots for me!

My earrings are the newest addition to The Dressing Room from Glow Studio. A new collection was placed out today; I didn’t have a lot of time to look through everything, but I saw these adorable earrings for only L$45 and knew I had to have them for this outfit. I will most likely be going back later and blogging more items from the collection.

My skin is a mixture of Isabel 01 by LAQ and Windchill Ocean Makeup by Siss Boom. The Isabel skin is honestly a very nice base for all those tattoos that have been popping up everywhere. I’m sure that most, if not all, of you have checked out LAQ skins, but how many of you have been to Siss Boom? Owner and designer Lestat Reuven is an extremely talented artist with an extremely kind heart. She is also very versatile, designing everything from clothing and skin to furniture and landscaping items. You really must check out her store! You won’t leave empty handed.
