500Ls or Less Roses for Mia...

Jewelry... what can I say about jewelry? I've seen stores with a necklace and earrings alone from 500Ls - 1,000Ls each. Let's face it, even if the quality of the jewelry is worth the lindens, it does add up. Especially for those who don't have large amount of lindens. That's why I like mixing up different kind of jewelry designers. Let me show you what I mean.

I cross my heart Roses for Mia jewelry set from MoonDance Boutique is a MUST have! It comes with a necklace, earrings, 2 rings, 2 bracelets, and nails. Yeah, I know what your thinking... 'and how much is that going to cost me?' Try $249Ls. Yes, only $249Ls. Yes you get the necklace, earrings, 2 rings, 2 bracelets, and nails all together for that price of $249Ls.

If you add the free group gift, Patty Gown from PurpleMoon and Judith hair from EMO-tions you looking to spend a total of $494Ls. In other words a model styling of a gown, hat, hair, earrings, necklace, 2 rings, 2 bracelets, nails can cost you the total styling of $494Ls.

Silken Moon Fierce Avant Garde

Recently, I was searching for an Avant Garde skin tone to help take my look to the next level. Before I finished the tune, "Where oh where is my perfect skin? oh where oh where could it be?" I went to Silken Moon and sure enough, I found the perfect skin to complete my Avant Garde styling. The skin is called Eclipse Burlesque. The Eclipse Burlesque skin tone in lvoree went beyond what I was looking for. The Eclipse Burlessque skin really complimented the Risen hair from EMO-tions, Antares gown from Angel Dessous, and Roxxanne from FineSmith to finalize this fierce assemble.

Adorable IceWater Belt Dress

And I do mean adorable! Kayla belted dress from IceWater, has 8 different set in place textures of the dress, however it has a HUD that allows you to the change the top, belt, skirt, and inner skirt to 5 different colors. The price of this dress? 199Ls!

Now, as soon as I tried on Kayla belted dress I wanted to have fun with my styling.  First off, I love history and in RL I often reenactment  history which entails dressing correctly for that era. One part in history I like is the 1920s. Why? Well... women got the right to vote and there's the cute fashion rage of the roaring 20s! So in today's styling I twisted modern day urban chic meets the roaring 1920s.

In the 1920s the Felt hat was all the rage. A Felt hat, with a number of colors, can be found at GizzA Creation as well as the modern day Lisha boots. Using Tina hair from D!va, the PurpleMoon Jules gloves, and finally the 0Ls Black Pearl Necklace Set 2 from JetCity completes this mix of era's assemble.

No Wedding Blues with the Right Wedding Shoes

Gosh this past week has been crazy busy! For those of you who know KokoMapiya in SL, we are SL partnered, on March 16 he proposed to me in RL and I said yes! Well after I kissed him a few times and forgot I didn't give him an answer. I'm already in the process of making wedding plans but it got me thinking about SL weddings too. A common thing I noticed is the brides shoes are often overlooked.

Luckily, In-Pose! has a new release on bridal shoes. The Bridal shoes, from In-Pose! comes in five choice of colors: white, antique, blue, lavender, and mint. The cost for a pair? 100Ls! Unbeatable price to help make your wedding day perfect. Don't forget to wear something blue!

Silken Moon Snow Princess Fae

Skin shopping is hard work and don't let anyone tell you differently! It's all about finding the right mix of tones and skin fashion forward. I thought for today's post, I'd talk about a skin store that can always be counted on, Silken Moon. 

Silken Moon is designed by the talented Malicia Python. Models with white hair are Silken Moon's signature designs. Her mix of makeup, eyes, skins, and nails really showcase the mystical, fantastical side of SL. I personally think Malicia skins are unlike any other skins I've come across. They are one of the few that stand apart from other fantasy skin stores. 

NOW,  moving on to today's look! 

The Snow Princess Fae is creating fresh snow. With the wave of her fair silk hands, she makes the snow fall gracefully. The Eclipes Fab skin from Silken Moon displays her icy fierceness as the snow flakes swirl around. The Self Control gown crafted by BareRose trimmed with an ice netting glistens as the movement of arms do the task at hand. Her Swish arctic hair, from Lelutku is swept back with a few locks tumbling free falling on her Fantasy Elf  ears from [MANDALA]. She turns her face to the sky as her eyes close, her hands reach out with open palms with approval.

500Ls or Less: FineSmith

I love it when I can find something fashionable under 500Ls and guess what? My finds are your finds too! Have you ever heard of BeStyle District? If not, you're missing out! There is a section called Gypset that has a number of top designers that sell items for a limited time. Just to give you an idea what type of designers you'll find PurpleMoon, FineSmith, Vero Modero, MEB, White Widow, and a few others. The one designer I wanted to focus in on is FineSmith. 

FineSmith has created this wonderful dress called Shiraz and it costs only 175Ls. Shiraz comes with earrings, necklace, and a purse. Add EMO-tion's Bella hair and you have a look for 420Ls. Who says cheap isn't chic?

Please Note: The items placed in the BeStyle District Gypset are available for only a limited time and once gone it won't come back. Most of the time, after a month, the designers change their item. Also, to shop at Gypset you must be a group member. No cost to join the group just a group space. Happy shopping!

Mardi Gras!

Did you have a great Mardi Gras? I sure did! Thankfully I had something to wear thanks to Prism Design. I had a few people ask where I got this outfit from so I thought to blog it. Prism Design made this wonderful Lanai Gown just for Mardi Gras. This gown comes with two gloves, one in gold or green. I selected the gold gloves for my styling.

Add the Curiata mask from Illusions, Maresol hair from EMO-tions, and the Aphrodite jewelry set of earrings & necklace (100Ls) from Alienbear's Jewelry then you're done!

Yay! Now you know how I made this styling and YES, I know Mardi Gras was officially yesterday, but you have to admit in SL there's still ongoing parties. Enjoy looking fashionable!
