This was a particularly enjoyable review to do, since I have always been a big fan of Emilia Redgrave and new found fan of "Redgrave" shoe designer,Viola Leigh. I'll talk more about her shoes in a bit. I originally associated Emilia Redgrave with her extremely high quality and realistic skins. It wasn't until fairly recently that I started to take notice of her amazing clothes. From a bit of "Haute Couture" to some absolutely fabulous casual wear, Emilia does it all. Her designs are feminine and flirty, and her explicit eye for detail shines through in all her designs.
In the top 2 pictures, I am wearing Emilia's "Wrap Top" and "Classic Bermudas". This, to me, is the quintessential summer outfit. I just love the sexy linen top that feels as cool as it looks. Emilia's hand drawn texture gives this piece extra dimension and realism. I paired the top with theses fab bermudas. Their gauzy pattern and sculpted cuffs, just fit one's body to a "T".
In pictures 3 and 4, Kierra is wearing the "Cardigan Fur" and the "Jean Mini-Skirt". Once again, Emilia manges to create another sexy top, without it being garish. The silky fabric, trimmed with fur, is absolutely scrumptious. And I just adore classic mini, which is the perfect length. One of my main issues with jean mini-skirts in SL, is the length. They are either waaayyyyy too short or a bit too long. This skirt is just right. Thank you Emila!
Last but definitely not least, are the shoes that are showcased in the 5th and bottom picture! Viola Leigh is one very talented designer with an acute sense of structure and design. I am wearing the "Madonna" heels , which is more of bootie. Viola's extremely accurate use of detail just floors me. The shoe is made up of a refined shiny texture, which come in 5 yummy colors, and an intricate zippered trim (comes with a gold and silver option). These are definitely my new favorite shoes! Thank you Viola!
Kierra is wearing the "London" heels. OMG! Talk about sexy stilettos! Once again, you can see how Viola's talented use of texture and detail, make one very authentic and original shoe.
Now since I know you want at least one or all these items right away, I will send you the limo to get to Redgrave:

I'm In Haven!



I had always associated Haven Designs with costumes and more fantasy related apparel (i.e. Gorean). Recently, while looking around the store, I noticed Haven had an amazing collection of casual and more formal attire. Delora Starbrook's hand drawn textures and acute eye for detail show through in her designs. Her clothes hug the curves of a woman's body in just the right places, leaving one a sexy and beautiful fit.
In the top pic, I am wearing her "Sasha Bandage Dress", which is the perfect addition to any woman's little dress wardrobe. It could be paired with a pair of sleek heels for a night on the town or with just sandles for a more casual look. In the bottom pic, I am wearing Delora's "Sunny Tank Top" and "Cece Capri Pants". The top has a vibrant color and gorgeous floral detailing and the bottoms have a rich sensual texture, which are nicely accentuated with a gold braided trim. The whole outfit has a nice exotic feel, which is a must have for steamy summer days and nights. If you haven't checked out Haven Designs, do yourself a favor and see all the treasures the await you. Thank you Delora!
I paired the bottom outfit with the "Sam bare feet", which is an amazing and fairly new release from KayLeigh MacMillin. The beautifully sculpted prim feet are summer must and staple for any wardrobe. The feet with an easy to use HUD, which makes finding your skin shade very easy. She also gives you four choices for the jewelry metal. And choices for them gems. You can also opt not to wear the jewelry as well. I also forgot to mention that you have choice colors for the toenails. I am wearing the anklet w/ diamonds and one ruby in the right toe ring. the jewels are set in a warm gold. Absolutely fabulous! You will definitely be seeing more treats from *ByKay* in the very near future. Thank you KayLeigh!
