Boho Berkeley Dress from Kaliko

Kaliope Kara's has created a cute new denim dress with 2 skirt options! A cute babydoll option and a sexy mini dress look.




I am the one on the left by the way.

This weekend her Brick color option is being offered at 60L. Other colors are at regular price of 200L and include; Plum, Forest, Brown and Rose. Each a slightly different pattern.

With the shape of the babydoll dress, she has also included an alpha to hid the hips and butt so they don't stick out. Also, she kept in mind that some have viewers that only support 1 alpha, so a second alpha was done to include the hip/butt and the feet for those who would like to wear sandals that include prim feet.


In the picture we are both wearing these cute brown sandals from J's. They can be found on the SL Marketplace


If you have any questions about other items worn in the picture, please feel free to IM Persephone Paine In World.

60L Weekends begin today (Friday) at 6 PM SLT and she usually leaves the vendor up until Monday Morning.

M.O.C.K-ing Is Not a Bad Thing!

You have to love the tattoo layer. It opens up so many more avenues when it comes to skin and hair and more. I have been part of the M.O.C.K cosmetic group for a few months now. Mocksoup Graves does charge a small fee to join, but her generosity of gifts makes it more then worth it.

Today in Group Chat she mentioned that she has a couple of eyelash tattoos. In the 4 years in SL I have worn prim lashes, but adjusting them is so time consuming if you want to have a different lash look.

I immediately TP'd over to the store to check them out.

Currently she has 2 styles, Pandora and Victorina. Each has a Noir and one that you can tint. I have featured them on my Gala Skin (Yum- Sundust Light - Cranberry)

Here is the Before, I am wearing an alpha to hide my system lashes and you can see that there is a more natural looking lash on the skin itself.

I love that she doesn't make the glitch pants actual pants so you have the option of wearing pretty panties underneath. There will be more to come. She also participates in 60L weekends.

It seems Janie Marlowe has a new store called Jane. Lots of great basic. Plus she has been very generous by offering free tanks in a ton of colors and scarves to boot. I love the fit of the scarves so much I bought a few packs. I may have to feature a bit more later this week.

Etheria- When Jewelers Dream

I have been constantly amazed at the detail work jewelry designers in SL have accomplished. From June 13 to June 20th, many of these wonderful designers have collaborated with fantasy clothing designers to put forth a plethora of dreaminess.

Here are just a couple of examples of loveliness that can be found at the Etheria event.

First up is a collaboration with Dark Mouse and Lark called Fae Dress and Fae Jewelry. Both the dress in the Jewelry come in Silver, Gold or Copper. Lark give 2 skirt attachment options, so I decided to add a bit of fullness by wearing both. Also Dark Mouse gave both spine and chest attachment options with the necklace.


Next up we have a great collaboration with Evie's Closet and MONKEE we have the Lyric Dress with Wings and the Dreamers Jewelry. MONKEE provides bracelet and necklace with or without resizer scripts.


I have made these pictures larger and encourage you to click on them to see the full detail of the jewelry featured.

So if you are looking to add a few new pieces to your inventory, please take some time to visit ETHERIA - WHEN JEWELERS DREAM.

HERE IS YOUR LIMO TO ETHERIA

So today I am just going to show you a few items, mostly new that I would like to share with everyone!

First up are these Jeans by Designer Sanura Snowpaw of *Dreams*. I am a sucker for anything that has musical notes and the underpants layer of these jeans make awesome tights. Here I have put it together in a bit of an 80s look since my first chance to wear them was an 80s Event.

Hair is by Grace by Truth, Skin is Cupid by Gala and though its smaller I am wearing the gold Mermaidia necklace by Eolande.



This next outfit is a purchase I made at the RFL Clothing Fair from , INDI Designs, it came with several pieces to choose from and I have to say the best fitting prim/sculpt skirt I have ever worn. (What little there was of it. *grins*).

Silentsparrow Month! Day 5-6 - SUNDAY BONANZAA!

No blogging yesterday due to a friend coming over and being here and being all in the way and stuff. He's a Second Life skeptic. When I logged in to check on my bunnies (one had foolishly hopped into a river, luckily, all Ozimals are equipped with scuba gear, so she was fine) he bombarded me with stupid questions. Not noob questions, stupid questions. "Who's that lady? That's not you, your hair isn't that colour, you're not wearing that skirt, you're not wearing that belt! You're not flying, why is she flying? What are those bunnies for? You should shoot one! Why are your ears pointy? A skirt wouldn't move like that if you were flying, why are you flying? How did you walk through that window? THOSE MOUNTAINS ARE REALLY CRAPPY" (I happen to agree with him about the mountains, they belong to a neighbour and are an eyesore). What eventually shut him up was when I was showing him what one could do with one's avatar, and he said "make her a DANDY!" and I instantly suited her up in silentsparrow's Gloomy Suit, with Schadenfreude's Digital Alchemy top hat, and he was like "COOL!". He still thinks Second Life is lame though. Can't win 'em all. So, instead, he and my husband sat around playing Bayonetta, which made me feel like all tough chick. And when I feel all tough chick, I default to either Pirate or Viking. I'm a fantasy seafaring type, me.

So here I am, slightly piratey. I'm wearing bloomers from Datura, which is a just gorgeous set anyway, these bloomers ain't your granny's glitch pants. Ironically, given that they're bloomers. Rich and velvetty, with a thick ribbon garter around one leg, and such beautiful ruffled cuffs, with layers of faded brocade and lace, if the skirts with this set weren't so pretty, I'd stretch up these cuffs and wear them as a skirt. It would be a weird-fitting skirt, but the thought is there all the same. At my waist I'm wearing the highwaist from the Cerise Selador set, another Limited Edition set, I'm afraid, but there are lots of similar things out there, should you be man enough to want to emulate my look. And the Fond Affections bustier, big sister to the bra I was wearing in my last post. Here you can see the elaborate, vaguely heart-motifed brocade of the lower part if it. Pretty, isn't it? It also has a bright heart on the back. Valentine's day is coming up, you know. This would be a nice, tasteful way of wearing your heart on your...back. My tattoos are some of my favourites. The belladonna:lepidoptera tattoos come in a million colours, and has an impressive 7 options per colour set, 3 for the upper body, 2 for the legs, and one each for the hands and feet. I particularly like the version I'm wearing because of the shading on the shoulders, which looks a little like a sheer mesh top being worn underneath the clothes. Also, while my friend was here, we spotted the book "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters". As a nod to that, I'm wearing Schadenfreude's Electro-Cute plugs in my ears, see the little octopus? Aww, so tentacley.

So to today, spurred on by my semi-victory with the hat yesterday, I decided to don the new Chapiteau Chapeau, a collaboration between silentsparrow and Schadenfreude. As can be expected from a hya/Alle venture, it comes with scads of options. There's a squeefully cute mini version for all the loli types out there, a small version, for small people, a full-sized version for full-sized people, and a decadent scarfed version, for ladies who ride, and ladies who don't ride, and dandy, dandy men. It comes with a HUD, which allows you to change the texture of the hat, the scarf (two options per colour, one with lace at the tips, and one plain) and to change which of the endlessly adorable Chapiteau cameos you want to wear at the front. It's like [insert number of combinations I'm not clever enough to work out] hats in one! Here I'm wearing it in Dollie purple. Playing to a theme, I'm wearing a Dollie t-shirt, from the second silentsparow Bird of Random gatcha in the courtyard. It's number 18, in the SMALLER of the two birds, and at 25L a pop, it's quite the bargain, unless you happen to be compulsive like me and pokemon bounces around your brain telling you to CATCH 'EM ALL! Then it's slightly less cheap. But worth it! I am also wearing the jacket from Batties, a fun set released around Halloween, you can't see it in my pictures, and I only noticed today, but there are bats on my boobs! How goth is that? Batties, and its sibling sets Cheshire, Cuttles and the location exclusive Babbage, are some of the most versatile sets you can get at silentsparrow, as far as casual-wear goes, packed full of skirts, tanks, gloves, and all sorts of other cute little extras you know you can't live without. On my bottom half, pants from the Severin Suit (which is still, until Tuesday, at 50% off in the Suits room at the silentsparrow mainstore). The Severin and Severina matched male and female sets are possibly my favourite matching things, each for their own lovely reasons. The pants in Severin being a huge part of that. They're bi-coloured! And stripey! And have these neat buckley strappy awesome bits, and awesomeness. So I'm wearing the Iris, a purple that doesn't match the rest of my purple, but matching is for saps anyway. Also, look at my shoes! They're nothing new, but they're cool as can be. They're from Katat0nik, and apart from being such a sweet shape, they're texture change, individually texture change, so look! Stars and Stripes! It's like I'm American! A really purple American.

So yes. This post has been tl;dr, I know. If you've read this far, I heart you.

A GRACE-FUL WEDDING

Oh Valentines Day, that special day dedicated to Love and Romance. You either love it or hate it.

I was one of those on the bitter side of it. I had a totally un-romantic,now ex, husband and I went on and on about how it was over commercialized piece of BS. Well I still think it IS over commercialized plus my Sweetie is loving and Romantic every day of the year. But its nice to give a card and a little token to commemorate the day.

One thing I have noticed is a lot of people either get engaged or married on Valentine's day. The wedding business in SL has been booming. Its the opportunity to have that big beautiful wedding with that dreamy dress that would cost $10,000 plus in real life.

Enter here is Grace Winnfield of Gracie's. I recognized the inspiration of her wedding gowns and IM'd her to talk about our love of a particular show. (Say Yes to the Dress)

We both commented on how a lot of women seem to gravitate towards these sparkly lingerie style bodice princess gowns. I mean it's REALLY popular! Here is her take on that. Though my preference is for simple and elegant. I love this neck ruffle and crystals. This gown comes with a veil, but I opted to use the flowers that came with the hair I am wearing.







Next is another RL inspired gown called Pure Princess



This one comes with several attachments. I will point out that I wore both spine and shoulder attachment for more fullness. This is a lot of prims worth of detail but the look is stunning.

The gown comes with a veil and flower attachement or just the flower as I have shown.

Gracie makes her skirts is various sizes for easy modification and usually includes different ranges of fullness too.

Plus, you are in luck, to make room Grace is having a great sale till the 20th of February!!





Gracie's can be found HERE!

Inspiration and Design

Artists, writers, poets, designers, architects have one thing in common. They take inspiration from what they see, hear, and even feel.

I am one that loves when a designer see's an outfit,hairstyle, shoe, skin/makeup plant, building or whatever from RL and uses it as inspiration. To make it their own, they may tweak the pattern or texture or shape. There are many, like me, that size or finances don't allow us to purchase these things in RL. So being able to wear it, live in it or use it in SL is awesome. To show my support I have take this gown by Ivey Deschanel that was inspired by a dress featured on the RL Runway. To make it my own, I tweaked it a bit in photoshop to give my artistic touch. I am sure, Ivey would not mind. (fingers crossed)



There are many designers in SL that are regularly shop at because they have things I would wear in RL if I could. I am sure we can all take a look at our inventory and find something that you love because you saw it in RL first. I welcome my readers to send their pictures in as well. Make sure you include the designers name so I can ask permission to showcase first.

Silentsparrow Month! Day 4 - Bad Ballerina

I was a horrible, horrible ballerina. I took ballet classes for 9 years in my youth, and have nothing to show for it but good posture (the key is to imagine there's a meat hook stuck through the top of your head that's pulling you upwards. Charming imagery for little girls who just want to be prancing fairy princesses) and a habit of walking round on tiptoe, but I prefer to think that's because I'm sneaky. But that's not the kind of bad ballerina I'm talking about, in this case. I'm talking about the kind who drinks and smokes and has tattoos and...wears non-sanctioned tutus. She's probably not even a real ballerina! Probably just pretends to be, to sneak into those wild Royal Ballet Company parties. I like to think she's more a ballerina for the circus! A rough-and-ready sort of circus, not an enchantingly whimsical one. Yes, tough circus ballerina. That's my look for today!

The tutu I am wearing is from silentsparrow's Coppelia, which in its entirety if perfect for any fae, or ballet prancer, or general cutie. Persephone remarked that she has the outfit in pink, and looked like Ballerina Barbie in it. In my book, this is a Very Very Good Thing. But here I am, in the black! The skirt is covered in swirly vines, with layers of tulle underneath. There are also some very sexy ribbon suspenders which attach to the undershorts, tied with bows, and clipped to loose-weave stockings. With these, I'm wearing the unbearably cute Dumbo Chapiteau corset in Ash (you get two versions, one with dark stripes and one with friendly coloured stripes). Underneath it, a bra, which comes with the Fond Affections bustier, the top of which peeps merrily over the top of the corset, making a very nice bright effect from the back. My tattoos are hart.thorn&thistle, named for all sorts of pointy pretty things and also features bees, for added pointiness. There should be more boob-antlers in the world, I think. Around my neck is the BRAND NEW Chapiteau Locket, in Dumbo. The locket also comes in other colours and cute critters of the Chapiteau line, and if you buy the SeaNorses one, you get a bonus picture of me inside, to carry with you always. Or replace with someone you like, the choice is yours. Inside my own locket, I've put a picture of some bunnies. They're not my bunnies. I'm creepy like that.

On an SL DRAMAZZZ topical note, I am informed by Perse that the boots I am wearing form part of a controversial outfit. On extended hiatus from Plurk as I am, I miss all the juicy stuff. At any rate - the boots are from a Sn@tch outfit, which something-something-I-don't-know, I don't see what the fuss is about, but people will think what they will. I figure Perse will have something to say about it, and chances are I agree with her. For me, through, I coincidentally found these boots in an inventory search for "Ballet", thought they went well with the outfit and am still wearing them proudly, which I think one way or another speaks for itself.

7 Swans A Swimming

On the Seventh Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 7 Swans a Swimming Dress.


I should mention a male friend was visiting me when I was photographing this dress and begged for a copy. A snowy white corset top depicts seven graceful swans gliding atop a sash of white and blue/gray ruffles. White and gray feathers adorn the hips and bustle.


Sheer white stocking topped with white lace and a thin blue/gray ribbon weaved into the lace. White satin gloves and a matching hair ornament with a crisp white and blue/gray flower and white and gray feathers top off this gorgeous outfit.

Imagine yourself a beautiful swan as you glide across the dance floor in this dress.

Blogger Challenge: Plus-Sized Pixels

Hybrid Ansar's Big Girl Challenge was one I had to give a go, being as in real life I am, let's say, a touch on the Rubenesque side. Over the last few months, my avatar has been gradually creeping up in weight, from a usual SL 'petite' to something that could just about in RL count as curvy. Slimly curvy, but curvy, nonetheless. To me, it's not enough just to ramp up the 'Fat' slider and say you're done, so for this challenge I based Niv's shape on my own shape. And that shape is pear-shaped. Oh so very pear-shaped. I have almost no bust to speak of, but hips and thighs forever and ever. And not much in the way of a butt. So I'm a sort of 2D pear, really. A cross section of a pear, perhaps. As some sort of self-esteem thing, I've come to consider pearshaped a very sexy shape, in a quirky kind of way. In smaller proportions than my own preferably, but small breasts and big hips are now terribly aesthetically pleasing to me.

As I based the shape off my own, I erred on the side of caution as far as dressing nicely, and so for the first picture, I dressed as me. But with red hair. The shirt I'm wearing, from Naive, I have one very similar to, in RL. Perse told me I needed more colour ("You don't usually dress in such...bland colors" "I dress like this in RL except my hair is brown so it's even more bland!" "Oh") so I threw some armwarmers in there, something I have an immense collection of. But she had a point, and so I also made a second outfit that was a little more 'Niv', consisting of one of my favourite skirts, from Thimbles, and some silentsparrow. Can't be Niv without some silentsparrow!

On the whole, the experience of doing this challenge has actually been really fantastic, in a deep sort of way. I loved how my avatar looked. And that was a surprise in itself. Because, she looked like me. Okay, with better skin/hair and nicer clothes, but, the shape that I thought looked so nice, was my shape. It was a self-esteem boost of sorts, and felt quite liberating. I was proud of how "I" looked.
On the other hand, I have extra extra admiration for people who do this all the time. I couldn't. I briefly considered it, but it would all be such hard work. Just the logistics of it. I'd have to resize all my skirts, a lot. And poses! Poses would be a nightmare! I used Dove Swanson's chubby poses from her recent Poop hunt, and still my hands were poking through my flesh. It was disheartening and I can't imagine having to have that as an everyday feature, with the difficulty of finding an AO that 'fit' and....everything. It'd be exhausting. And I'd feel like a balloon next to some people *cough*Emee*cough*. Still, I think my av will be eating a few more big meals in future, and perhaps a time will come when SL is kinder to the bigger lass.

In The Spotlight: Mod.G

So Nivaya and Emee have set the bar with their features and now its my turn. In the Spotlight today we have Mod.G

Mod.G has a great blend of casual wear with a touch of Bohemian.



Modd. G has a great selection of dresses, tops and jackets as well as bottoms. She also has some great shoulder bags (not pictured) and has expanded into making eyes as well.

Her clothing appears to me to be photo-sourced, however, its very well done. I especially love the smocking detail that is featured on the blouses neckline and sleeves. (see below) The sculpty attachments do not have re-sizers but required very little modification for me.






If you are looking for casual outfit, or a nice dress to socialize with friends, Modd.G is definitely worth checking out.
