Channeling Antoinette

It's no secret Marie Antoinette was a fashion icon, so much that after centuries her opulence and style are still remembered. Tiny Bird's hair for the Black Swan Swansong fashion show reminded me of the long gone french queen and it made me wonder how would Marie Antoinette look like if she lived amongst us in these modern days? And here I bring to you my attempts, or my guesses of what a modernized Marie Antoinette look would be like. Pastel colors, flowers and bows reign these looks.

Which look do you like better?

Life is a Cabaret

The new So Many Styles T-shirt Dresses come with a lovely corsage which inspired me to create this look. It all came together quite easily and naturally just really playing around with different stuff I had in my inventory and hadn't wore in a while, I really liked the results and decided to blog it. Hope you guys like it!

Summerin' at the Caribbean!

So ok I know I'm late and that by now almost every sl fashion blog out there has been talking and posting looks with LeLutka's Summer Collection. I've been meaning to do a summery look like this one, and LeLutka's Gaenor dress gave me the perfect chance to do a very summery stylish look. It's something I picture someone wearing in the Caribbean or at the Hamptons while on a shopping spree.

Wine & Champagne

It's not usual for me to blog twice in one day, but today something extraordinary happened: Viva La Glam reopened! I faced something traumatic last year, after VG Republic closed, sl ate around 1k items of my inventory and I lost all my VG stuff :( . That's why after I heard the news I immediately ran to their store and got me this beautiful dress and leggings, I fell in love with the textures but I decided to match the skirt with the top of another dress made by Beauty Avatar. Who knew that wine and champagne would be such a fantastic combination?

Erin is Bebae's new release! The skins have an awesome shading and they come with different eyebrow options for blondes and brunettes. I like how natural they are and still maintain a great attention to detail, the belly and the cleavage are very well done and they're subtle, which is always a plus for me. I also love the facial features because they're soft and delicate.

Fawn Loves Flowers

This blog post was mainly inspired by this dress made by the incredible OMGWTF Barbecue, and it will be realeased tomorrow! The Leda Dress it's sheer and see through and absolutely dreamy. For the picture I was thinking first a garden or something more summery, but once I tried this Photo Set made by La petite morte, I realized they belonged together :)

Lately I'm a bit obsessed with flowers and I love the head pieces WILD O makes, but this time I went a little bit further and I tried with a tattoo which I felt matched this look.

Aztec Adventure

I was lucky enough to receive some new items from UZURI, I've always been a fan of their jewelry, but now I love the new tops and dresses. I'm wearing here the Anasa top and the Jua jewelry set and due to the ethnic feel her clothes and jewelry always have I decided the Aztec Empire would be an ideal location for the photos.


Enjoy :)

It's Tee Time!

Aoharu released this week the awesome Off Shoulder Baggy T-Shirts! I love them because they remind me of the 80's one of my favorite decades in terms of fashion. I put two outfits together trying to prove that these Tees can be a very versatile clothing item that we all should have in our inventories, they come in several colors and with tons of different patterns, so there's plenty to choose from!



Hope you like these looks! <3
