Lucky Me at Tres Beau!

How can life get any better? Today I received an absolutely gorgeous red dress named 'Valentine' from Tres Beau. Kimmera Madison is one of my favorite Second Life designers, always giving us stylish, chic and unique clothing.


'Valentine' has a combination of an open front skirt and ruffled ballgown train that creates a formal look while showing off a woman's shapely legs. The corset bodice has an elegant and intricate design with a daringly low cut back. Red, opera length gloves with matching ruffled prims are the perfect accent.


You would think all that would make this the perfect Valentine dress, but I haven't mentioned the best part. It was free! Kimmera Madison has the 'Valentine' dress on the lucky chair in her store! Run, do not walk, to Tres Beau as quickly as possible before this breath-taking dress disappears from the Lucky Chair.


And while you are waiting for your letter to appear, look around the store and pick up one or two of Kimmera's other amazing creations. If you are like me, you will want everything you see.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Invitation Said Black Tie

I will admit I LOVE formal wear of all kinds. So much so I have lost count of all the evening and ball gowns I own. Then I found 'Le Smoking' at SF Design, I could not help but grab it on sight!

Several years ago, not going to say exactly how many, my nephew asked me to be a part of his wedding by decorating the reception hall and greetings guests as they entered. It was wintertime and I really did not want to run around in a dress in a state where 30◦ wind chill factor is commonplace. When I finally resigned myself to freezing to death for the sake of family, I walked into a high end store and was amazed to find a woman's tuxedo.

swaffette Firefly, owner and designer of SF Design, created this amazing and stylish Yves St Laurent tribute for women. Don't be fooled by the fact that 'Le Smoking' is a tuxedo, because femininity does not suffer in the least. To prove that, I was invited to dance several times during the photo shoot. One gentleman said he thought a woman in a tuxedo was incredibly sexy.

'Le Smoking' is a perfectly tailored tuxedo that accentuates a woman's figure. The black flexi jacket has an amazing texture of a crushed velvet. The high necked dress shirt and cuffs are accented with white ruffles. The tuxedo pants are topped with the traditional cummerbund. Prim arms, shoulders and pant legs add that extra dimension and depth to the design. swaffette even added shoes in the Mary Jane style to complete the outfit.

Ladies, the next time you have to go to a formal event, go black tie thanks to SF Design.

Winter Wonderland

Early on a quiet winter's morning, as the snow falls softly blankets the first, you might just spy a nymph.


Chaospire's "Frost Fae" is a delightful fantasy costume for frolicking on the pale moon light. Covered from head to toe in snowflake lace, this coquettish outfit comes with snowflake wings.


If you are ready for some winter fun on the ice skating rink, stop by Tres Beau for "Snowflake'.


Fun and fashion combine in this ice blue skating costume. You will be dressed to the nines while doing figure eights on the ice.


For woolly warmth, Jador's "Igloo" in white will keep you toasty as you walk over snow covered hills.


White fur boots and fur edged cuffs and hood (can be worn up or down) blend into the landscape as your feet crunch across the new fallen snow.



Memories of the Nutcracker and Sugar Plums dancing come to mind when I wear "Willo O' The Wisp" from Evie's Closet.


Ragged silk and delicate wings grace this soft creation. Dance across a blanket of white as smoothly as a swan.


Winter cannot stop a trip to the mall for the latest fashions.

Available in different colors, here you see Indyra's "Republica Jacket" in white rabbit and trimmed with black leather covering a cropped black sweater from Callie Cline. The black "Elba" pants from DeLa have an amazing snakeskin texture.


Last, but far from least, is the dazzling gown "Snowflake" from Son!a.


Whether for a Snow Queen or Winter bride, you found the perfect choice.

Celebrate Winter in your favorite way, whether before a roaring fire or or enjoying the crisp bite of frosty air.

Save Starlust! (or WoE is me)

So it looks like the Lovely Elikapeka Tiramisu has opened a new hair store called ElikaTira. Only a few styles out but its good to see she is back. She has a couple of lovely gifts and its still offering my favorite variety pack containing a couple shades each of red, brown, blonde, black and white. I am wearing one of the browns but tinted it a bit to get my preferred auburn shade.




Autumn in Florida is not very apparent. We don't have those lovely colored leaves. It just gets a bit cooler and drier. Still jeans, closed toed shoes and light sweaters are just the thing.




I encourage everyone to head over to Starlust. Several of the designers have stuff for sale to help keep the Starlust Motel Sim up and running. The Shirt I have was made by Ingenue and Comes in a 3 pack. There are also some great poses, outfits, jewelry and oddities to look at.

This time I have included Landmarks/SURL's to the shop. Just click on the shops name

Worn:
Hair: ElikaTira "Wish" in Brown 8 (tinted with some pink)
Skin: Gala as usual (June)
Top: Starlust Exclusive by Ingenue - Mon Petit (Leaf Peepers)
Sweater: WoE - Jenae Tie-Front Sweater in Cobalt
Jeans: Equilibrium Designs - (Calca)(03)(Azul)
Shoes: Shiny Things - Zimminy Flats in Faded Denim (Group Gift)

Not So Plain "Jane" and other things

So basically every single blogger from Dressing In Pixels all got hit with a severe case of RL. Now that things are a bit calmer, you will be seeing more from at least me. I figure easiest will be to feature a "look of the day".

Please Click on Picture to see Larger Version:





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.

Per Nivaya, it is now autumn so we must dress a bit more warmly. So I have taken to wearing cardigans. This one is from Miseria.


Worn by Me:
From Jane: Intrinsic Tank in Cherry (free) Scarf in Americana (Free) 52 Jeans in Grey Wash with Baggy Cuff (Not Free)

By Miseria: Ash Cardigan in Black

Shoes: Fukmi Clothing - Shinji Sport Sneaker

Hair: Truth- Kelsey in Auburn

Skin: Gala - June - Pure Two
