IceWater Rocker!


I thought it might be time to make a rock star style post. Well... my interruption of a rock star! One of the best ways to start a rock star style is by buying the new IceWater Lilith corset dress. The Lilith corset dress comes in 8 main colors, with color changing zippers, corset, strings, and studs. This amazing dress only costs $199Ls and it does come with Lola applier HUDs.

Before I go on I wanted to make a side comment about IceWater clothing. IceWater clothing only comes in fatpacks. This means for the Lilith corset dress you get all 8 colors plus the rest for $199Ls. 

Now back to: how to style a rock star!

To add to the rock star appearance the Maja hair from EMO-tions will do the trick! Linealrise Design Fallen Outfit boots, Galatea Design nose ring, and [MANDALA] Steking ears & Sensei Necklace takes this look to another level. Finally add the [AdN] accessories of gloves and bracelets from the Dark Princess outfit (the Dark Princess outfit costs only 1L). Place on the CobraTech mic headset and ta da! Jam out in style dudettes!!

New Designer! [Kawaii Dolls]

Have you heard of [Kawaii Dolls]? I haven't until I came upon them recently. [Kawaii Dolls] is a NEW causal chic store by a designer named Catlyn Sahara. Her line of chic causal wear is done with a bright color pallet that leaves a refreshing styling for anyone who wears it. It's also a wonderful place to start if your looking for something new but at a good price.


Out of the selection at Catlyn's store, I was first drawn to the Mikon Wild Dress in Leopard. With the Mikon Wild Dress in Leopard only costing $250Ls you will be looking fierce before you know it. I decided such a fierce dress needs fierce hair, LeLutka Dolce hair does it right! Adding the GizzA Boho Set in stone and N'Core Cinq in black to finalizes this styling.

In today's styling I wanted to change my skin tone to a darker color. When I wear this skin a lot of people ask me where I got it from. This skin is from Glance Skins and it's called Anais. Currently there is no longer an in-world location or marketplace for this store but I hope it comes back soon!

Please note: The pictures in this post seem to change to poor quality. Please find the better quality ones ones here: [Up Klos Photography] Thank you and sorry!

Cherries on Top Hunt III at PM

I love hunts! Especially the PurpleMoon Cherries on Top Hunt! Ready for round 3? In past PurpleMoon hunts, we had cherries hidden in both PurpleMoon and WetCat. But this time we have a new store that's moved in, Lazuri, which means you will find cherries in all three places. In total you have 20 cherries to find, and the cost of each cherry is 0Ls. Yep 0Ls! 



Three out of the twenty cherries will be this chic suit! In the hunt there is a cherry for the Dresha Blazer, Dresha Top, and Dresha Pants. I'll give you a hint, they are cherry numbers 4, 5, and 6.  I decided to pair this suit with the Frozen Dew Set in pink, also by PurpleMoon, Nicole hair from EMO-tions, and finally Donna heels from RedGrave.  

This hunt ends February 28...so what are you waiting for? Get your cute little butt down to PurpleMoon! Happy hunting!

Please note: This picture won't upload correctly. Please see better quality on my flickr. Thanks & sorry!

A New Designer IceWater

Wanna know a secret?


I love it when I find or hear about new designers that are awesome! Now, I don't know about you but I think it's hard to find new designers that have good quality clothes. Luckily, my wonderful partner pointed me in the direction of a new brand called IceWater. IceWater has a mix of men and female urban clothes of good quality at affordable prices!


The top I'm wearing is called Kate Bustier paired with the Veronica Mini Shorts. The Kate Bustier costs $199Ls and comes with a HUD of 8 colors. While the Veronica Mini Shorts is the same price but comes with a HUD of 11 colors. The Carmen hair is from EMO-tions, the Otsumami earrings MANDALA, the BAX Coen Regency Boots in black leather, and finally a tattoo from iNKZ called Bad to the Bone.

Ready? Set! SHOP!

PM Limited Edition Valentine Collection 2014

Valentines Day may be over but the PurpleMoon Valentine's Limited Edition Gown Collection of 2014 is not! On display at the main store you have a selection of 6 beautiful pink and black gowns. I had a hard time picking which one but ended up selecting two gowns instead of one, the Meryl Gown in Pink and New Dawn Gown in Pink


For this gown I used the Meryl Gown's black gloves and pink sculpted top, with New Dawn Gown's skirt and shirt. The Lazuri new Royal Blush Valentines Day set of earrings, necklace and bracelets and finally EMO-tions Shanty hair.

Please note: These gowns are out for a limited time. Once that time is up, they are gone and unavailable, even through the designer. Thank you all and happy shopping!

Simply FineSmith

This post is dedicated to the store of FineSmith. FineSmith is owned by Yula Finesmith, who has shared her designer talents in SL time and time again. The quality of her designs amazes me as well as her perfectionist of each set of jewel being bought. Case in point, see picture below:





This stunning gown was created with a mix and match of FineSmith sets. I used the Modern Eve to cover the upper region of the "dress" and kept the elegant hat. The lower half I used part of the Crystal Reality gown. The Crystal Reality gown is to die for! The all crystal skirt is broken up into 6 parts, which can easily be removed or added. In other words, this means you can change the length of the all crystal skirt to the length you want!

The only items not used from FineSmith are the white satin gloves are from Blacklace, the floating stars from the Whispering Stars Dress; designer Boudoir, and the Emo-tions Tizia hair.

Please note: Since FineSmith has recently moved their store most older jewelry can only be found on Mark Place.

Happy Valentine's Day!









Happy Valentines Day! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentines Day, if not here's something to smile about. There's a new group gift at PurpleMoon called Valentina Gown. 

Wanting to follow the traditional path for Valentines Day I've selected the Lissabel hair shaped as a heart and added a Angel Arrows of gold to shoot through the heart hair. Finally, I couldn't help but bring back the lovely Passionate Hearts jewelry set.

Are you smiling now? No? What if I told you the total cost of this styled ensemble is $339Ls? It's true! 

AND...


Ta-da! A smile!  Now go enjoy your Valentines Day and shop.

Countess of Haute Couture

This elegant gown Terry was deigned by GiuliaDesign. This gown IS modifiable and boy did I take advantage of it! You can see the original under the link marked as "GiuliaDesign - Terry (MarketPlace)" 


In my styling, I used parts of the gown to make a necklace and the flowering on the shirt. The gloves were made by myself with the use of PurpleMoon's Jules Gowns gloves cuffs. Finally the hair is from MADesigns called Cloris

If you would like to know how I edited some of these items please pop me an IM in Second Life. I'd be happy to help!

 The total cost of this assemble came out to be 700Ls.

PurpleMoon 60Ls Rose Dress


PurpleMoon has done it again with there amazing 60Ls items. This week the new 60Ls items have been placed out and each one is better than the next. I had a hard time picking which one. I felt since it's almost Valentines Day the Luisana Dress in Red Roses would be perfect. Topped with Bliss Couture's Watanable Hair and Miah Hat I could style it to almost perfection. 

Please Note: The jewelry used for this stylish non-traditional Valentine's Day ensemble was from FineSmith. Regretfully Grapa from FineSmith can no longer be found on marketplace or in store. 

HOWEVER....

The total cost of this ensemble for hair, hat, and dress is only $238Ls! Surprised? You shouldn't be! Sometimes it's doesn't cost an arm and a leg to look fashionable.

Being Young is the New Beautiful...



Being Young is the new beautiful and you can buy it a MEB. As soon as I saw this chic suit, it became a must have. Young comes with a jacket, shoes, pants, and a strapless black top. Adding the LuLutka hair named Bonjour takes this chic suit to the next level. Finally Jetcity Fashions Black Pearl Set of a necklace, earrings and a bracelet completes this look. From head to toe I felt like a top model and now so can you!  

Please note, the Jetcity Fashions Black Pearl Set is free but needs some major editing to acquire the result in the following pictures. The Black Pearl Set is modifiable and to make the pearls darker turn the full brightness on by checking the full bright under Texture. The rest is editing. Are you up for the challenge? 

If you're not good at editing, it's alright any simple black pearl necklace can tied this chic suit together.

You can also find Young at Mimi's Choice.

PM's Newest Group Gift: Aria Gown

Hold on! This PurpleMoon group gift is striking! 


If you have yet to hear about PurpleMoon you've been missing out! Poulet Koenkamp is the owner & designer of PurpleMoon who makes stunning couture gown, accessories, causal chic wear and much more. There is often new releases of group gifts but these group gifts have a limited time offered, until it's replaced with another wonderful group gift. The cost to join the PurpleMoon group is 50Ls but I promise it is well spent! Case in point here. About 3 days ago PurpleMoon released this new group gift called Aria Gown. This elegant mesh gown comes in 5 different sizes as well as a pair of gloves.







To style this amazing group gift I decided to add another PurpleMoon accessories called Oda headpiece. Next the jewelry, Roxanne necklace and earrings, from FineSmith gave it a touch of grace all the more. Then finally topping the perfect hair, Tyra from Emo-tions.

Introduction

Hello followers! 
    
I thought for my first blog post to create an introduction. This way you know what to expect when following me. When I blog, I like to include where I got each item with hyperlinks. The name of the hyperlinks are what the items are called but the link itself will take you to that location. At times I will put prices of items especially if it's an amazing deal!  

I will also have some style under 500Ls posts and a mix of my thoughts on certain topics. 

I would like to encourage each of you to share any comments you may have about the my blog posts. If there's something I didn't list and you want to know where I got it from, just ask. I'm sure you're not the only one wondering and I'm happy to help in any way I can. 

I'm an overall friendly person, too friendly at times, so consider yourself warned! If you want to find me in SL or InWorld I'm under Eibhline Von Klos. 

I look forward to sharing theses posts with you. So let's begin! 


This elegant number I came across is from Utopia called Sun Queen. This Sun Queen gown comes with 3 tops, a few different accessories, and changes with the skirt (train or without). While I was taking my pictures for this blog someone next to me was wearing same gown but didn't realize it. She commented how she's been admiring my gown and when I told her it's the same dress she was wearing, she didn't believe it. I explained it depends how the person styles it. Luckily, her and you will be able to style this look by the end of this post.
  

The jewelry I chose to add is from FineSmith called Maziar in gold, while the hair is from Amacci called Rina.















FineSmith: Maziar - Gold

Utopia: Sun Queen

Amacci: Rina - Natural Copper
