You inspire me

The moment I put on the Layla suit from Masoom, I feel that I am transformed to help vanquish the forces of evil by morphing myself into a fearless warrior princess. With Xena the warrior princess in mind, I came up with this styling and this picture.     

   

Layla outfit made specially for Maitreya and Slink hourglass is now available in this round of Uber till 23 August. It comes with a texture hud for both the suit and suit arm.

Spanish Fashion

Back in the 16th century, Span was on the cutting edge of fashion. Spanish clothing styles influenced the world and traditional Spanish clothing was widely known for its elegance and decoration. Today, Spanish fashion is very modern and throughout the countless influential collections from city to city, we are still salivating over Spain influence on fashion this season.

Don't let the sun go down on me

I just love my summer dresses. They are so simple and light, yet stylish and with a hint of flirt. I immediately fell in love with Sascha's Designs' Poppy Dresses the moment Sascha so generously passed me a copy of her latest designs 3 days ago. There is an extensive collection of textures via the included HUD that gives you the look you desire for any occasion and for your favorite accessories you want to style with this dress.

It was not difficult to convince Scott to join me in this picture since he is off from his editorial work this week. Scott is dressed in the Pebble shirt and pants from LUXE Paris that he picked up during the Swank July Event.

So we put together a set using props from Kaerri. 

The La Joya Set is a Southwestern stylish Patio set that you will need if you like to recreate a desert in your backyard and the Honore Patio is a little whimsical and arty set with lots of flowers!

The new Ghee!

Ghee has had an extreme makeover!

The store has moved to a new location, and been completely rebuilt in a gorgeous classical style. There is still a lovely park and terrace cafe to relax in, and some nice spots for photos. 

The new Ghee SS16 Collection is at the store, as are several recent releases. We are adding stock daily as we migrate to the new vendor system. We also have a re-opening offer - a special edition of our SS16 Maxi Dress in Noir. This is FREE to Ghee Group members and just 50L to everyone else.

Summer Treat

When we decided to do a picture for SWANK July round, it was hard to pick what we wanted to showcase as there are more than 100 designers with their summer creations on sales at SWANK. After some careful planning to put a little scene together on a friend's beach, we shot the scene below. 

Out of the Box has supplied all the props: a very nicely textured mesh shed with single and couple animations, mesh pergola with two bean bag chairs that too comes with single and couple poses, surfboard, the umbrella and the lounge chair. Both umbrella and the lounge chair have an extensive collection of textures and colors to choose from. 

After we had built the set, Scott was so excited that he picked me up from the edge of the water and carried me all the way to our little setup. The pose we used for the shot was from Agapee, but we edited a little using AnyPose. I couldn't let my hat from Pink Ice fly away. ;)

Finally, we were ready to take the picture with me wearing a sun dress from Sage that comes in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, SLink and Stardard bodies and a texture and colour hud that you can use to match your styling for that day. My styling is completed with a pair of sunglasses from Covert, necklace and earrings from Heartsdale and a pair of comfortable sandals from Vintage Touch.

As for Scott, he is spotted with a tank top from Ghotsys and shorts from JZ.

Sometimes we just need to step away for a moment and rejuvenate the mind. Re-connect and feel great by finding the peace with the wind, breathe deep and know we are free...

So, I took a walk down the Key West Resort & Marina, wearing the Madelyn top from Masoom that is designed specially for the Maitreya and Slink body. It comes in 9 colour scales and textures that you can easily mix and match. 

If you have not been to the Hair Fair 2016, it's time to TP over now. It's not as crowded as last year and I was able to TP in in a few tries. Tameless has 5 causal hairs in 3 color packs: Naturals with all 30 natural colors, Fades with 30 ombre and tipped colors, and Fantasy with 30 fantasy colors at the Fair.  All colors come as both rooted and non-rooted.

Over the shoulder

This is one fun picture that I did with Scott. It is interesting to talk about how we want to capture the mood in the picture and what windlight and effect we want to get out of it. 

Scott has been a wonderful friend, PS mentor and boyfriend since we met last December. We enjoy working on our blog, photographs and now, we are making poses using AnyPose. We can't wait to share with all of you the poses that we are working on.. :D

In this picture, I am wearing Sascha's Designs' Poppy dress. It's a lovely little summer dress that you will see me wearing in RL too .... It comes with a texture hud and it's like getting 5 outfits in one. The lace up sandals from Agapee is one of my favourite and it matches the dress perfectly. The sandals too come with a texture hud.... I am just loving the 'extra' textures so we can mix and match easily without burning a hole in our pocket.

You will be in awe just looking at the latest apparel collection of Ghee SS16 which features a wide array of season colours such as bright canary yellow, rich fiesta, cobalt blue and soft rose quartz for a standout summer statement.

Summer Heat

It's been a long break from SL. The toils of RL can sometimes take the joy of SL away. However, I am glad I am back, fresh and all ready to share with all of you the fabulous fashion this Summer.

A must to your wardrobe this Summer is swimwear! How can one not take a day or several days off to enjoy the cool water at the beach. Agapee has a new release at Cosmopolitan this month. A fitted mesh bikini that is made specially for TMP, Maitreya and Slink bodies.

To spice up your swimwear, head down to Cosmopolitan and grab this nice flower wreath from Perseform. There are 10 different colour roses of different sizes which you can mix and match to create your own style.
