Luster – Giadi Trenchcoat and Tulip Dress
I’m really digging these new outfits from Luster! The Giadi Trench is a sculptie trenchcoat with prim cuffs and dramatic asymmetrical collar and v-neckline. I love the realistic texturing of the sculpted “skirt” of the trench with bow and oversized textured buttons. The trench is a sophisticated and complex design, but it required very little editing to get the right fit for my shape. The Tulip dress is a whimsical sculpted mini with cape. The cape also comes in a scripted version for even more wearability. I was really pleased with Luster and I will definitely be checking back for more!

Just perfect for that shopping trip that I know you’re dying to go on. Equally adorable is the Coreg mini dress featuring a ballerina style, flouncy miniskirt with matching tank.

SHIKI scarves
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you’re having a peaceful day 🙂
Today I felt like playing around with accessories and what better thing to choose on a crisp and cool day but scarves! SHIKI has come out with some beautiful scarves in different styles and are also available in virtually every colour and style. A clever feature of these scarves is they come in pairs – one scarf to attach to your chest and another to attach to your spine. Very handy if you want to wear a necklace or if you have an outfit requiring a collar etc. I’ve paired the SHIKI scarves with stylish glasses by primOptic and knee boots by Mentine ❤.

Sheer elegance all in one cocktail gown from the Fall 2009 SHIKI Designs line. Sculptie prim bodice tulle embellishment and feathery mermaid style skirt is a sure head-turner. The texture is woven and matches the hue of the ribbon belt of the skirt. Comes in Cerulean, Ecru and Gold.

L’Abel Fall 2009
Neferia Abel, creator of L’Abel, has thoroughly outdone herself with her new Fall line this year! After a short break, Nef’s back in full force with some of the most beautiful and stylish designs I’ve seen on the grid so far this season. They are modern with a hint of old-style glamour and very sexy! I can’t say enough about how pleased I was when I tried on these new items.
Emelie is the perfect little black cocktail dress. It features extremely realistic sequins to embellish the dress and it also includes a silver sequined bolero jacket with sculpted sleeves and neck. Three textured buttons decorate the back of the bolero.

.:StoRin:.
From design maven Annah Whitfield, comes these adorable creations from .:StoRin:. The attention to detail and beautifully wrought textures are a couple of the highlights of these items. First is a lush knee-length cocktail dress called Twiggy. Different layers are included so break out that fabulous jewelry, scarves or jackets and you can have tons of fun accessorizing this already perfect dress.
Next is a chic and sexy high waisted sculpted skirt called Berry. I love the detailed textured belt and again there are different layers for mixing and matching. I’ve chosen to accessorize the skirt with a leather tote called Beje also from .:StoRin:. , a halter style top from Park West called Maya and sunglasses from Armidi Gisaci.
Now, we have a pair of fun shorts called Colby in brown complete with prim leg cuffs and again they come in pants or underwear layers to go with your existing wardrobe.

Summer’s in full swing and Gumi Yao of Gumi’s Bad Box has some sweet bikinis for you! This is the beaded bikini where it has a sweet little beaded adornment for the bikini top clasp. It’s resizable and easy to fit your avatar. It’s a subtle but effective little detail. Also included are prim bows for the back or you can choose a textured bow layer instead if you prefer. It comes in many colours such as red, black, grape, teal, white and yellow.

I’d also like to take a second to acknowledge the sunglasses that I’m wearing, kindly provided by primOptic, which are called Adria. I love glasses and sunglasses as accessories and I am wildly impressed by these! These glasses will do everything but adjust your hair for you! They are expertly scripted to not only adjust tint and opacity of the lenses and change the frame colour, but they also have lots of little handy gadgets that you can use. There’s a flight enhancer gadget so you can get up to those skyboxes easily, also an online indicator to alert you with a blue card if your fave friend is online or not, you can also wear these glasses on your head if you like! Another handy features is the Teleport History gadget which records your teleport history so you can get back to where you want to go easily with no fussing about finding LMs. These are just a few of the things this multi-use accessory has to offer.

Seldom Blue – Francesca gown
If you love animal prints as I do, you’ll flip for this beautiful gown by Indigoblue Dagostino of Seldom Blue called Francesca. It’s perfectly textured and with a complex print like snakeskin, that’s not an easy feat. It has medium and long length flexi prim skirts included and lots of of different deep V-neck top layers to mix and match. This garment is just about perfect in every way! I looove it!
