Miss Dove of Peace

The Peace on Earth Hunt 7 is well under way. So many amazing gifts and so little time to show them all off! The next selection of gifts I couldn't resist to share is gift number 4 Chop Zuey & gift number 25 TOPAZIA. To mark the occasion TOPAZIA has created this stunning Miss Dove ensemble, this includes: hat, corset, fur skirt, & 3 doves flying around you. 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.

To finalize the ensemble, I used LeLutka Helen hair & Bax Coen Design Ankle Boots, though not found on the hunt, these items enhance the styling perfectly.

Peace and Quiet....

I don't know about you, but after a long day I want to settle in my most comfortable PJ's and get a cup of hot coco. Today would be one of those days, luckily the POE hunt has this adorable PJ set from Only Yours.  Let's not forget the peace sign necklace from Zuri Jewelry.  Not only does the POE hunt have the PJ's & necklace but this comfortable layout of furniture. Yes, the bunny, painting, bench, globe, and presents included, all designed by Zen Creations. Who says having to feel so comfortable costs a lot? Cause it really doesn't! All items in the picture, other than the Lelutka Bambi hair, can be found on the POE7 Hunt. Including the PosESion pose called Mother 2, used in the picture below. Find these hunt items today and stand for Peace on Earth.

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.

Peace on Earth Hunt 7

Here it comes again! This year, I am excited to be one of the bloggers for this amazing hunt! What hunt? The Peace on Earth 7th Hunt aka POE, which is a widegrid hunt starting on December 1 until January 6 that represents the fight to make peace on Earth.  The hunt consists of designers who support the theme of the hunt and have graciously created a special gift to mark the occasion. During this hunt, I'll be making posts on the items being given out. For more information & to follow other bloggers involved with the POE7 Hunt please visit the Peace on Earth Website.

Now, on with the styling! One of the things I love about hunts is mixing and matching the items I find. It saves lindens and you help support the company or creator of the hunt. The first mixing & matching styling I wanted to present is the number 17. Nya's Shop,  37. Dellybeam Gem Gallery & 51. Lindy M&R Shoes. Nya's Shop will give you this Sparkling Everywhere dress, which I simply adore! From DellyBeam Gem Gallery the set of Celtic Black Pearl earrings and necklace and finally Lindy M&R shoes gift of the Lindy Bally. Three amazing stores from the hunt to create this Holiday Season dinner party ensemble. Just add your favorite hair and ta-da! You have not only helped support Peace on Earth, but you look good & saved lindens in the process. Please stand by for more mix & match ensembles from the Peace of Earth Hunt!

Please Note: The only item you will find that is not part of the POE7 hunt is the EMO-tions Lana hair, however I will be posting their gift sometime this month!

The Face of Chop Zuey 2015 Results

Did you make it to the finals of The Face of Chop Zuey 2015? In case you didn't hear, the officially winner was the talented Rehana Seljan. I want to give her a shout out and say congratulations! You were fabulous! For the rest of the models who competed it was a fun ride and wonderful to be on the runway with each of you.

Though the contest is over, I wanted to share the rest of my experience to my followers & friends. In the final we were given two stylings to complete. The first was to select two pieces from a list of 16 sets of jewelry and then style using both pieces together. Luckily the one item on the list was the one I thought up a great styling for, yet selection of the 2nd piece I wanted took me a few minutes to figure out. I wrote up my style card script and here is the final result: I love the holidays and in the spirit of the holidays, this take on a Russian Nutcrack ballerina will make you spread the holiday cheer. The dress & hat created from the dazzling Out Damned Spot choker in silver and red. The hat displaying ornaments from the Out Damned Spot earrings, while the bracelets used for the wrists and boot trim in silver & red. The eyebrow jewelry called Splendor Fall makes this simply.... eye catching! Glistening from the ears, trickles down the lovely Splendor Fall earrings in black. As she gracefully turns her holiday dance is complete.

The second styling was to done by The Don Quixote Collection. From this collection 2 items had to be selected to mix & match. I will say this collection was challenging to mix! Each piece in this collection is one of a kind set that stands out in different ways. However, I selected two pieces and created styling and style card: Trimmed branches from the Knight of the Woeful Countenance necklace transformed into a bodice and crown, with bracelets symbolizes her ice crystal abilities. The silver Speak to Me in Love Poems body wrap clings to her waist and boots as this ice fairy makes her prance elegantly about the winter wonderland. For no such beauty in the season of winter can be contained by anyone but Chop Zuey alone.

Overall, The Face of Chop Zuey is one contest I will never forget. I want to say thank you to Belle Roussel  But also Thank you to Frolic Mills & Ponchituti Boucher for an unforgettable contest. Contestants I wish you all the very best in your future and happy holidays.

Simply Emo-tions!

It's a sick day in RL and instead of curling up under the blankets for rest, I am posting! I suppose even being scolded by Koko makes me want to post all the more. Must come with being stubborn. Though my RL body is feeling sick, my SL avi is looking fierce and it's brought to you by one store. Yes, ONE store, Emo-tions! There you will find the hair, earrings, necklace, bracelet, ring, and corset. The Medusa hair does come with this wicked crown, so don't need to hunt for that item. The Empress corset is mesh, be sure to try on a demo ahead of time, and what I love about this corset is the coverage in the front. Normally corsets stop at your waist yet with the Empress corset drops down lower with panties and it's all in one piece. The back of the corset does show a bit of booty but if you don't mind to dare to be bare, your good to go! 

The Cecile jewelry set is simple stunning and can be changed into 5 different colors with 2 metal settings. The pieces of jewelry has an vintage touch to it, which can also be worn with an evening gown or cocktail dress. This attire is amazing by far, but if you want to add a touch of colors for the lips and eyes head over to Silken Moon, which has a wide range of selections.

On a different note, I have come to find a lot of people have asked me if the pictures I take are with a green screen backdrop. They are not. In fact each picture I take is normally on a SIM in SL. Additionally, my picture hardly get touched by PS. For example, this picture before was taken on certain wind-light settings in world, snapped, uploaded, resized and putting a watermark in PS, then posted here. What you see is what SL provides for you, it's just a matter of learning how to take the photo. If your interested in learning more about photography, I teach a Photography class at Regal. Don't hesitate to IM me in world or comment below for more information.
