The Fairy of Wasteland

Hello my amazing readers, I have some news. As you know all my pictures from my blog come from myself, however until further notice the pictures will be taken by other photographers in SL. Why? Two reasons! One, I don't have my high graphics computer anymore to take pictures and second I've come to find a lot of people who don't take pictures don't know which photographers to hire. In my posts I will include not only the items I'm wearing but who the photographer is and their rates! Shall we get started? I think so!

Let me start by saying today is an EMO-tional day. Get it? EMO-tional? Okay maybe that didn't get you to laugh but I'm sure when you see this styling you will love it. EMO-tions has recently released a new attire called Wasteland. Wasteland comes with wings, skirt, upper armbands, lower armbands, and corset. EMO-tions has created two different color sets for this attire. The one I am wearing is the color of Faith and the other is called Hope. No matter which you get this attire is one word: fierce! When I first put it on, I felt like I could take on the world! But of course before I can take on the world I need the proper hair & helmet.

Hmmm... where do you get proper hair & helmet to enhance this fierce styling? of course! EMO-tions yet again. Luckily I was already in the store so I just walking across the store I picked up the hair Nefertiti and Frida. By combining two amazing hair styles I was able to create the type of hair I wanted. Now I needed a helmet of some sort. I walked around EMO-tions for a bit longer and came across the hair Lyra. Lyra has this beautiful headpiece that I knew would suit for this! This is where major editing came in and once edited I was left with only the headpiece that I wanted. I placed it on the head, but I wanted the fine metal and gems to be longer.  So I made a copy for the headpiece I just edited and put it next to the other. AND Va la! It matched perfectly!

The last touches was the Simone lipstick from Silken Moon & Regency thigh high boots from Bax Coen Design. What do you think of this style? Tell me in the comments below! Now, let me end today's blog post with telling you about this amazing photographer.

In today's blog post my pictures were taken by the talented Avalon Chrome. Have you heard of this photographer before? If not, then you must see her flickr. She's a graduate from Visionaire Institute and her own blog has been nominated for Avi's Choice Award Favorite Fashion Blogger 2014. She's won the best photo contest and landed the cover of NuVibez Magazine. She is simply amazing and she is currently taking clients. For her rates please contact her in SL under: Avalon Chrome.

Chain Me Up!

Another shopping day and I found myself at EMO-tions. There I became inspired! I set my sights on the Akora hair, tried a demo and the rest was history. EMO-tions Akora hair comes with a hat (cute bow in the back), 2 sets of attached chains and a necklace. While still in EMO-tions I quickly wandered over to the 'Accessories' section and picked up Una. Of course, I wanted to wear more chains to match Akora, which is why Una suits so perfectly. Una is a set of chainmail top and bottoms, that is simply sexy. When you buy Una, you have your choice of silver or gold and to add a slip cover or not. I couldn't help but select the gold to match Akora and I did add the slips for coverage. 

Wanting to find something that will add to the amazing works of EMO-tions, I mixed and match PurpleMoon Meryl gloves with Chop Zuey's L'Africaine cuffs bracelets. The outcome defiantly enhanced this styling! The next step is skin. Let's head on over to SilkenMoon where I picked up Signature in the skin tone Moonglow. Isn't it lovely? I think it is!

Finally let's not forget the Regency thigh high boots from Bax Coen Design. Just adds a bit more fashionable sex appeal. What do you think?

And there you have it! Another styling that will have people asking, 'where did you get that?'

To end this blog, I wanted to make these pictures a bit bigger than normal. This outfit really is lovely and I wanted you to see the details of each items. If you have questions on where I got any of the items please don't hesitate to post a comment or shoot me an IM in world: Eibhline Resident

I'm Feeling Sinister Today!

I could not pass this item up! As soon as I saw it, I had to have it! When I put it on and I felt sinister in a delightful way. What ensemble am I talking about? Dahlia from Vengeful Threads of course! Dahlia comes with a half-jacket collared with feathers and a lace top with plunging neckline. It can make anyone feel sensual. The high waist pants are simply to die for! The fabric is so rich with four sliver buckles enhancing the waist line. I honestly don't want to take them off as soon as I put them on!

Wanting to follow the sinister style I added Bad Reputation a bold platinum hair with [MANDALA] Ero-Sensei necklace set. Let's not forget to add the black leather ankle boots from Bax Coen Design.

A Sweetheart at Sweethearts Jazz Club

Though I am lacking my 'sweetheart' (KokoMapiya), I can still count myself as a sweetheart at Sweethearts Jazz Club. With Prism Designs new release Lisette you will be the talk of the club. The stunning sequences dress with an irritable side slit shows an elegant but daring lady. The white fur boa adds a touch of old fashion class, complimenting this sequence delight.

The jewelry is simply a must have! From Chop Zuey, Betty 2.0 is texture changing set that comes with necklace, 2 bracelets, & earrings. A selection of 6 different metals and 20 glass beads. You have to admit it makes it very easy to mix and match with any outfit!

The Rochelle hair, from LeLutka, keeps my styling at a modern day 1920's flapper. While Bax Coen Design Ankle Boots and Soft Shine Panty Hose in white 10 keeps me warm from the winter weather.

A Peaceful Winter Day...

Winter is still here, but it takes the perfect winter ensemble to make a peaceful winter day. How? The Peace on Earth Hunt gift item 50 from Wow Skins  & the hunt gift item 3 from LivGlam. The skin gifted from Wow Skins doesn't fall short of beautiful. The soft pale tone with brown eyebrow can be easily worn with your favorite blonde of brunet hair. In this styling, I favored the Georgina in Autumn from EMO-tions.

From LivGlam, the flower skirt with matching collar poncho is lovely. The fabric of the poncho shimmers in the winter snow as you leisurely make your walk around the park. The price for such amazing gifts are 0Ls and as I mentioned in pervious posts, the hunt is to benefit Peace on Earth. The Bax Coen Design Prestige Boots and Soft Shine Panty Hose completes this ensemble.

Come mark the occasion of peace and have a peaceful winter day.

Add the breathtaking Gloriana set, necklace, earrings, & bracelet, from Chop Zuey and you have a remarkable ensemble that not only stands for peace but will turn heads.

It's Raining, it's Pouring....

Where I live in RL doesn't get a lot of snow, but we do get a lot of rain. Walking barefoot in the rain is always fun. I make sure to stop and play in the puddles. Even as an adult, I try to find time to do the things I always loved to do as a child. Playing in the rain was one of them. I'm sure most of us has been caught in the rain a time or two, but there's a difference when you want to be there. In any event, when I was styling the new Ela hair from EMO-tions, it reminded me being caught in the rain. Let's say if I ever want to be caught in the rain, I'd be wearing this Uli dress from Prism Design. The pattern of the dress is unique with a elegant spiral design. The trim of the dress at the neck and sleeves is a lovely glittery red. The designer brings the same glittery red texture back again but in a form of a cute belt tied off in a bow. The Bax Coen Design Ankle Boots and Soft Shine Pantyhose complete this rainy day look.

Parkison's Research Donations....

In today's post I will not go into detail about what I am wearing but what I bought helps someone. In SL you come across so many different events. One event I want to talk about today is run by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. This foundation has created a SIM mall & certain percentages of the profits go towards Parkinson's Research. Now, I don't expect everyone to know what Parkinson Disease is so let me explain. 

Parkinson disease is a disorder in the brain that causes tremors, difficulty in fine & gross motor skills such as, walking, picking up items, or coordination. When someone has Parkinson Disease it means the nerves cells in the brain, called dopamine, is slowly dying away. Dopamine nerves cells send messages through out the body to make us move. In other words it controls movement, but if the dopamine were to die the condition gets worse. Studies have shown they do not know what causes dopamine to die, but they know over a life spam of someone with Parkinson disease it gets worse. There is no cure for Parkinson's Disease. If you want to read or learn more information on Parkinson's Disease please -Click Here-

This attire below is being offered by Prism's Design, as an exclusive item for this cause. This beautiful dress is called Darcy in Zen. This is one of the many designers at the SIM donating for this cause. Shop there today and make a difference in someone's life.

What is the Hair Fair...

In today's post I wanted to talk about the Hair Fair. The hair selected for this styling is from the Fair Hair. What is the Hair Fair? The Hair Fair is an event that takes place every year to help support the "Wigs for Kids" charity. If you would like more information about "Wigs for Kids" charity please go here: http://www.wigsforkids.org

On a side note, if you haven't been to the Hair Fair, it's a great place to spend lindens and feel good doing it! At least that's what I like to tell myself and my partner while emptying out his avi's bank account.

The Hair Fair 2014 started on July 12 and will end on the 27th.  Depending on the designer, a percentage goes toward "Wigs for Kids" Charity. In this case, the designer of EMO-tions has set the donation of 50% to each sale made. EMO-tions can be found on the RedHead SIM and they offer 5 different hair styles. The one worn in the pictures is called Dream World. This hair comes with horns, but I chose not to use them.

Now, a few posts back I talked about Silken Moon and how it is an awesome place for fantasy skins,. Not only that, but their skins can also be for everyday use. A perfect example of this is this styling! The skin I am wearing is from Silken Moon called Luna skin. Adding the Silken Moon eyeshadow Autumn and lipstick Simone. I complete the matching makeup to the new Felicity dress by PurpleMoon.

At the Gypset Market, the new Felicity dress by PurpleMoon can be found and I absolutely adore it! The fatpack of this dress consists of 21 textures at the cost of 600Ls, however they sell sets of 3 for 125Ls, which is at an amazing price! The black leggings, Sora Tights, is also from PurpleMoon.

Finally, adding Bax Coen Design ankle boots in black leather, which you can never go wrong with while wearing leggings! Then TA DA! Another amazing outfit!

I hope you enjoyed this styling and information on the Hair Fair. Please feel free to pass this post on! Stay Amazing and happy shopping!

The Moxie of Avant Garde

The thing with blogging is you really don't know when you'll be inspired next. Today, I was inspired when I saw the new PurpleMoon release on the Moxie. I honestly went a little crazy and bought the fatpack for Moxie but for a single color it's $250Ls. It comes with a dress and striped tights.

In the pictures below you can see I liked the blue one best! I really wanted to have some fun with this styling because after all, shouldn't styling be fun? I popped over to Silken Moon, knowing it's one of the best places to get an Avant Garde skin tone that will suit and wouldn't you know, I found what I was looking for, Signature in moonglow. Wanting to make my lips and eyes pop I added Silken Moon's Eclipse butterfly eyeshadow and Luna Blues demin for my lips.

Next I went to EMO-tions and grabbed one of their recent releases Antoinette. Now,  if you follow my blog you'll know I love history and historical fashion. So this hair style was a MUST have for me. Antoinette was recreation of a popular hair fashion trend in the late 1700s.  To follow tradition of the 1700s, I kept my hair color snow. Wanting to dress up my hair, I went to Bliss Couture and found Orliang Hat in noir and ocean. The price for each hat is $89Ls, can't beat that price, and they are modifiable.

Now here's a store I have yet to talk about [sYs]. [sYs] is an amazing store that specializes in urban chic cyber fashion for men & women. If I ever want to take my styling to an 'out of this world' look, I go here. In this styling, [sYs] was a must go to! There I bought the jewelry set called Maya. Maya costed me $380Ls BUT the set be can be changed into 28 different colors. At that price, yeah I wasn't going to pass up! Also [sYs] has high quality in all their merchandise so I never need to worry if the texture or parts of the item I buy are poorly made. I highly recommend this place people!

Finally, I needed some boots that were made for walking. Did that make you smile? Yes corny, but funny! Moving on, I went to Bax Coen Designs and picked up Regency in black leather.  Now as far as the boots go select the length you like. This ensemble will look good with knee highs and ankle boots too. It depends how much of the tights you want to show. Personally, I felt like thigh highs for today but may change it to another pair tomorrow. The way I see it, just pick someone that makes you go 'yyyyoooouchhhh' if you get my meaning.

And there you have it, a the Moxie of Avant Garde! If you have any questions or need help don't hesitate to contact me.
