It happens

Another new release from Sascha's Designs which you can only get it from Swank. The unique part of this outfit is that it comes with 3 different sleeves via a hud. 

Though this Lois outfit is tailored especially for Maiyatra, Slink, Tonic, Belleza, Fitmesh, I found that the Slink cut is also a perfect fit for my new AltamuraBa's body. How wonderful :D. Check out the February round of Swank before it ends.

What it takes to be a fashion blogger

As a fashion blogger, we get to be among the first to try on some new and exclusive designs on the grid. However, not all of us are gurus in our own right. To be a successful fashion blogger, we need to be constantly serving up great styling, pictures and latest news on our blog. 

Your Shoes 2016 Fair which begins tomorrow is an event that donates to the Mexican Diabetes Foundation.  I am excited to show you this new release from VG Shoes available at the fair till August 21. It is created specially for Maitreya, Belleza and Slink. I love that I can mix and match the colour for the shoe's top and heels with the 10-texture hud to match the outfit that I am wearing.

Ella from Agappe is a perfect Summer dress that is designed for Maitreya and SLink mesh bodies. It too comes with a 6 colour texture hud and you can imagine the fun I had trying to style the look for today. :D

It is not hard to complete the styling with !IT!'s Starfish jewellery set which is hud controlled too. Find your favourite colour and you are all set for a causal date this weekend.

Dancing in the moonlight

The August Round theme at SWANK this month is Around The World. Sascha's Design took the challenge and has delivered in spades with this gorgeous South American inspired gown. The name of it is Calpurnia Caracas and she has really captured the colorful capital of Venezuela with this dress. 

This gorgeous mermaid flare gown is flattering to the figure that gives a sensual feel to it. The bustier top follows the curves of the body perfectly before it cascades out into a wonderful skirt just above the knees. 

The gown comes with 4 sizes and it fits my Belleza Venus body sublimely. I have chosen to style it with the exquisite Sashi jewellery set from Zuri Jewelry which is also available at SWANK this month.

Note that this is an exclusive for the month of August at the SWANK Event, so head on over there before the sale of this must have dress is over.

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!

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.

The chic Ghee's Poppy Sheath Dress comes with a detachable scarf and matching shoe [sold separately]. There are 4 colour designs to choose from. This timeless piece is just perfect with a minimalist styling with the sleek hair from Zibska and a danity pair of earring from !IT!...

Sometime ago, I wrote about being unique while wearing mesh head and I like to introduce the new release from amara beauty, Arielle which is designed for Catwa's Aisha head. But hey, I am wearing Catwa's Gwen head and I think the skin looks awesomely sexy on her. I love the way the lips are drawn and the skin HUD comes with 5 brows, 20 lipsticks and 5 eyeshadow. I think this is so me and special. Don't you think so? Now, it's your turn to have fun with some of the best designers on the grid!!!
