I WEAR MY SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT
Sunglasses seem to serve a fairly simple purpose; to keep the sun out of our eyes, right? Yet since their invention this practical item has been transformed into a symbol of fashion and even rebellion. Think of James Dean in ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ or more recently, Lady Gaga with her out-there eyewear.
Pure Poison have released these too-cool-for-school Meira Mesh Sunglasses that even Ms Gaga herself would love to get her hands on! The studded detail along the top of the frames has that punk meets chic feel while the shape is reminiscent of those hornrimmed sets from the forties and fifties.
The lenses themselves have the shape of the Raybans that were so very uber-cool in the eighties; in fact, these specs seem to have borrowed the best from every decade in order to create the ultimate in eyewear.
The Meira Mesh Sunglasses are available in either Silver or Gold. Each set retails for 100$L and can be found instore at Pure Poison. The following SLURL will take you directly to both sets:
You can also find both pairs of the Meira Sunglasses on Pure Poison’s page on Marketplace, just click on the following link:
I thought I’d try the whole rebel thing and do as the song says; ‘I wear my sunglasses at night’…» View author and full post…

SUN, SKIN, SWIM
My regular readers will know I’m an Aussie girl, and today being the 26th January, it is officially Australia Day! For many this means a day with friends or family, having a barbecue or, my personal favourite, a day at the beach. I grabbed my towel and sunscreen and headed off for a day of sun and sand and surf. And what better opportunity to try out a couple of new releases from Diamond Style?
I think I’ve perfected my bronzed Aussie look here with Diamond Styles latest release Misha Skin. This skin has such a natural look to it, I just love the muscle tone and detailed shading. You can see it especially around my knees, stomach and collar bones; just fantastic application of light and shadow. The whole skin has that lovely healthy glow you find only on quality skins.
The Cora 2 Bikini really brings out the tanned tone of my skin. This swimsuit comes with the chic wide-brimmed summer hat and is another new release from Diamond Style. I am loving animal prints soooo much at the moment and they are literally everywhere in SL right now; so you can be sure to be totally in vogue in this number.» View author and full post…

We all know that different events and circumstances call for different outfits so it’s good to know that Avici cater for all sorts of occasions. Avici is the label of the ultra-talented Anita Claven, who also happens to be a Second Life photographer and owner of Avici Studios. Somehow this extremely busy business-woman has managed to make time to release some lovely items and I’m happy to be sharing them with you today.

This sweet Liza Dress is Masoom’s contribution to the Bubbly Hearts Hunt. With Valentine’s Day swiftly approaching, this heart embellished number is the perfect romantic oufit. I love the one-shoulder look and the skirt has a lovely and natural swishy effect.

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
You may recall that just over a week ago I brought you Azul’s MVW Japan Gown as worn by Shinobu Istmal. This post I am so very pleased to be showing you the gown worn by MVW USA, Imani Enzo, yet another stunning Azul creation. As a large proportion of the SL fashion world (and indeed much of the SL population itself) is from this proud nation, I think this item has a certain special significance to many.
This satin figure hugging gown is flows into a lovely shirred skirt and is trimmed with lovely dual-toned feathers. As always, Azul has released this gorgeous gown in eight lovely and dream-like colours, including Amethyst as seen here.
The exquisite satin detail is especially noticeable around the ruched bustline and shaded lower torso. The minty tones of the Alexandrite version of the Imani Enzo Gown are soothing and sweet.
The dual-tone feathers make an especially bold statement in the Champagne version of this Azul creation. The feathers cover only the left side of the bust, before adorning both shoulders. This assymetric look is echoed further down, as the feathers wrap diagonally around the hips, accentuating and highlighting curves.» View author and full post…

TWEED DREAMS
The best outfits are often those that can take you easily from country to city, from day to night, from a casual walk to a semi-formal lunch. Stylish label MEB appear to have perfected this art of versatility and their latest offering, the Street Jacket, is the perfect example of this. And which material is the epitome of this same versatility? An old favourite; classic tweed. No longer relegated to the ranks of University professors with patched elbows, tweed makes a statement of class and style all of its own. Again, MEB’s Street Jacket is here to show us how it’s done.
This post I decided to take a nice ride in the country but seems I have lost my horse! Hopefully I’ll find him soon; I have a dinner date this afternoon. Luckily this smart MEB ensemble will take me from one to the other flawlessly. And the Street Jacket is great to keep me warm as the sun starts to wane.
The Street Jacket takes all the class and charm of classic tweed and combines it with the relaxed street smart look of a semi-casual jacket. Not quite a blazer, the Street Jacket lacks the traditional rounded edge, and though the cuffs and collar hint at a winter coat, the Street Jacket is neither this also.» View author and full post…

A VERY SPECIAL RELEASE
I’m so very excited and honoured to be posting for Two Sisters Treasures today, because the item I’m reviewing was actually named after myself! I was so surprised and humbled when Two Sisters owner and designer GeorgiaStar Chau told me she had named her latest creation Kat, so of course I have to share this lovely dress with you all!
I’m so very excited and honoured to be posting for Two Sisters Treasures today, because the item I’m reviewing was actually named after myself! I was so surprised and humbled when Two Sisters owner and designer GeorgiaStar Chau told me she had named her latest creation Kat, so of course I have to share this lovely dress with you all!
Kat is a very sexy yet sophistocated dress with a low cut neckline, assymetric skirt and shiny satin detail. A sheer panel creates a high collar which keeps this dress modest while still flattering and fun. With all its modern features, Kat is the perfect party item and in this hue I think I may have found this seasons quintessential little black dress.
I have paired all four versions of the Kat Dress with the lovely Two Sisters Treasures Sparrow Diamond Necklaces and Bracelets; here I am wearing the White Diamond versions.
In white, the Kat Dress takes on a silvery sheen that creates a pure ethereal effect. I love how it goes with the violet tones in my Lavender Diamond Sparrow Jewellery. It’s difficult to pick out my favourite feature of the Kat Dress; the skirt is so very now with the short front and longer back.» View author and full post…

ELIZA OF THE EVENING
A heart-shaped neckline, a glo-mesh waist sash, a mermaid skirt with tutu detail; the Eliza Gown has it all. This latest release item from Dew is a fun and sexy alternative to the traditional ball gown, while maintaining all the grace and elegance that evening formal wear demands.
The Eliza Gown is a slim-fitted number that slinks down the body, hugging and high-lighting hips and thighs. The strapless bodice draws attention to the shoulders and decolletage and enhances the bust area giving the illusion of fullness.
Shimmery sequined detail is found throughout the voluminous fishtail skirt and is echoed in the centre of the gown with a glistening sash. This side shot illustrates how very flattering the Eliza Gown truly is to the feminine shape. Just look at the curve it creates along my backside and down my thigh!
A closer shot of Dew’s Eliza Gown shows how beautifully crafted that glo-mesh belt is. The way the light catches each tiny panel at a different intensity creates a disco ball style effect. It really is a lovely effect to such a streamlined dress.
This fun yet formal Eliza Gown is available in black, as seen above, as well as red.» View author and full post…
