Downton Abbey

As you might have guessed, I'm a very big fan of historical shows. I've done a number of posts discussing certain movies or shows I'm watching that suddenly inspires me to style. It has happened again today! The show? Downton Abbey

Wanting to bring in the 1920 feel to my styling, I recalled the designer Cerridwen Lynagh releasing Arwen's Mithril not too long ago. But who is Cerridwen Lynagh? Have you heard of this designer before? If not, she's the owner and created of Cerri's Booty. Cerri's Booty is a store I happened to find on one of my adventures in SL. Cerridwen's does amazing glitter attires and whenever I wear one I'm asked, 'where did you get that from?,' it never fails! So why not use it for this styling and show my fellow readers? Why not indeed!

Arwen's Mithril has a number of colors you can choose from. In my styling I favored the blue topaz under dress with the platinum glitter cover. Arwen's Mithril comes with an under dress, dress cover, and a classy pair of strappyheels. Price? Try 399Ls Once again another amazing designer who gives you beautiful things for an affordable price. But what about accessories for this styling?

Luckily I've recently found a new designer that sells stunning accessories at unbelievable prices. If you recall, in another posting, I did promise I would let my reads know where.... and here it is! The store is called Modern Couture. Have you heard of it? If not it's a MUST shop at. Designer and owner, Donatela Couturier, has a vision of jewelry I've never seen before. It's unique and stands apart from other designers I know. Additionally, it's affordable for anyone! Knowing this designers skills I headed over there to pick up Queen Andy's tiara & bracelets. The tiara cost me $150Ls, while the bracelets, that comes in a set of two with earrings, is again 150Ls. Surprised? I was when I came here for my first time!

But what about those long pearl necklaces worn in the 1920s? Where do I get one? Ah Ha! EMO-tion has recently released a necklace set called Abigail. Abigail comes in a set of 6 pieces and each pieces is just as pretty as the next. Honestly, I'll be doing a few posts with this necklace since there are a number of necklaces attached. So be ready to see the name Abigail again, however in this styling I used the long white pearl necklace. How much does Abigail cost? Try 399Ls and personally it's another great buy! With so many necklaces to choose from, you can always mix and match like I did. Stay tuned for more of this necklace set.

Oh! How could I forget! We needed a 1920's hair style. Where to go....where to go.... I know! Lelutka! Josphine from Lelutka is a perfect fit for this 1920s styling with Downton Abbey in mind. What do you think?

And there you have it my delightful readers a styling inspired by Downton Abbey. If you need any help recreating this look please contact me in world and I'll be happy to help! Happy shopping and stay amazingly you.

Humbly M'lord...

My day off and I'm watching The Tudors & Braveheart. There's something about the middle ages and renaissance that I adore! So I thought why not create a styling from this time period? In the past I've done some mashes of different styles in other posts, but today I am going toward the traditional route. Thankfully  the store Les Encantades can help me out with their new release, founded only at The Conquest SIM, called Lyanna Azur. I fell in love! For those of you who watch the Game of Throne's, Lyanna Azue was inspired from the Stark House of Winterfell. Les Encantades does offers 4 other gowns inspired by the other lands, and YES they are all a MUST have, but act fast! It's there for a limited time only! Cost of the gown? Try $200Ls, a steal if you ask me!

Wanting to keep the traditional route I headed over to Oblivion and picked up the hair called Middle-Age 025. What I love most about this hair is you can wear it with or without a hat; the hat comes in six colors. The hair itself can be worn as an updo completely or an updo with a low ponytail (in the picture I have my hair all up without a low ponytail). Now if you're one of those people who say Oblivion doesn't have good textures, you are mistaken. Oblivion has updated their vendors! The textures are vibrant and honestly, for me, it was hard to pick which color to use.

Finally I needed a piece of jewelry that will pull this look together. Chop Zuey has recently released a new set called Chandrani. In this styling I didn't get the chance to use the stunning earrings and bracelets that comes with this set, however I was able to use the necklace. If you look at this necklace closely you can see how magnificent it really is. When I placed the Chandrani necklace on, my styling is complete.

Prepare For Les Encantade

Remember the SIM called Genre? If not, Genre is a SIM where certain designers are selected to place out unique creations. There I found a new store called Les Encantades and I fell in love. Les Encantade is created by the talented Anouk Haiku. Anouk creations consists of stunning role-play medieval, gothic, and fantasy ensembles. I can tell you this much, her designs inspires me! Radella is one  I must share. Radella is an enchanting gown with fur collar (removable), gold trim waist line & bust, and has gold stars trickling down the shimming fabric of the floor length skirt. But that's all not all!  It comes with an unique tiara and shoulder accessory. The unique shoulder accessory I wanted to use again for the bracelets. Luckily the items are easily copyable! I took Chop Zuey L'Aricaine cuffs and attached the copy items of the shoulder accessory to the cuffs. Then ta-da! You have matching bracelets!

Now, time for hair! Cadice Deux from Zibska suits beautifully. It's modifiable which allowed me to add blue streaks, bring back the blue in the gown. The same blue color I used for the streaks I was able to use for the modifiable, U Color It makeup set from Madrid Solo Cosmetics. In case you want to do the same. The color code for the blue that I used for hair and makeup is - Red: 26, Green: 69,  Blue: 96. Wanting to break up the coloring, I added another makeup from Madrid Solo Cosmetics Insanity Plea in gold. The complete styling reminds me of the Hunger Games meets the 1700s. What do you think? It makes me want to say, "May the odds ever be in your favor." 

I wanted to show Radella gown in different wind light settings because the gown is beautiful.

Radella gown can only be found on the Genre SIM. Please know this stunning creation will be available until January 31, 2015.

The Sea Witch? Me? Definitely!

Have you even been shopping and you come across something that makes you go "oooooo" Today was one of those days, case and point below, The Sea Witch from Vengeful Threads. The aqua gown textured in starfish, seaweed, and water droplets. On the shoulders you have beautiful sea weed, coral, and sea horses. It is a lovely fantasy gown that should be added to your wardrobe! To enhance the styling I added Boudoir Water Goddess hair piece and Truth Thelma hair. With such a stunning styling, I had to add vibrant colors to the face! Madrid Solo Cosmetics Dot B eye makeup and Glam Affair Leah lipstick 17 does just that! But let's not forget about the jewelry set to top off this amazing styling, Chop Zuey Tiger Lily. Tiger Lily, is set in orange gems with flexes of yellow green sparkles. It really is a set that would cause anyone to comment on. 

To end this blog post I want to say, Hi my name is Eibhline. I am The Sea Witch from Vengeful Threads. Will you be one too?

Make A Wish From the WishBox

It's not often I get the chance to get off the Regal Estate SIM and do some SL traveling. Luckily, I got sometime this week and I found a delightful role-play store called [WishBox]. There I found this Cage Dress in blue and I was inspired! This is my version of The Jetsons and Hunger Games meet the victorian era. What do you think?

To keep the futuristic feel through-out the ensemble I added the Zibska Ortensia Collar to not only the neckline but upper arms, lower arms, and boot huggers. Zibska does allow editing rights to their items, which I love, I was able to find the perfect color from the flowers on the Cage Dress and I was able to apply it to the Ortensia Collars. If you want the shade coloring I used under the color, not texture, I'd be happy to give it! Please contact me in world for the numbers. The boots are from Neurolab Inc. called Activa 2 in electro white.

Boudoir Baroque Flower Wig suited best when I wanted to top off the look. The wig of beautiful white flowers is modifiable. I was able to change the colors of each flower I wanted. I added the blue colored I used for the Ortensia Collars to match. But I didn't stop there! I went to Redgrave and Glam Affair to buy SilverSnow & Shironuri lashes. Finally the makeup ES Butterfly eyeshadow and Karla lipstick from Silken Moon.

Both pictures taken for this post was in different wind light settings in SL. Neither of these pictures were modified in color. They are raw snap shots which has only been cropped and watermarked. If you want the location of the SIM I took these pictures please find it here: Solandria SIM

New Year Leisurely Stroll

It's a new year, which means new changes! I promised myself that I would clean out my inventory. I'm sure we all know how much of a pain that can be, but after, it's always nice to go shopping for something new. Why not head over to Regal Boutiques? Gaall has a new release called Sofia and this won't leave your inventory anytime soon. The lovely mid-drift fur coat and hip hugger pants is not only comfortable but stylish. But Sofia doesn't stop there! It comes with these strappy high heel sandals to be worn with High Barefeet from Slink. Cost? 250Ls

My hair selected for this styling is from EMO-tions, called Eles. It's an elegant swept back hair style, with soft curls framing the face. It's a piece I'd suggest for any inventory! Add stunning Don't Call Me Betty set from Chop Zuey & a touch of Elit eye makeup from Glam Affair, and you have a lovely, leasurely ensemble for strolling pleasure.
