Pic 3: {Gasqhe} - [Alegra] &  [Esther- Black]

When I think of Gasqhe Couture, the first word the comes to mind is FIERCE! The clothes are cutting edge and emulate so many of the extraordinary designs you would see on the pages of 'W' and Vogue'. The clothes in SL can get a bit bland and way too trendy, so such pieces fill my need for virtual 'Haute Couture'. The prim work on these design are exceptional and more like a work of art than a layer of clothing. Theses pieces  follow the curves of the female body and have an exquisite flow to them. One can't help but feel like diva when wearing such designs as the 'Bonnie Bolero' and 'Bonnie Pants'. This ultra sexy outfit is definitely a favorite mine The textures are cool and have a linen-like feel to them. The prims on the vest are created in such a way that it gives one a sense motion, even while standing still. All these little touches add an element of realism, which so many of us desire in SL.
In the second picture, I am wearing 'Kara'. I just adore the high wasited shorts with their seamlessly attached prim cuffs. The crisp white t-shirt finishes off this stylish yet relaxed look. The carefully placed shadows and highlights give the textures added dimention The sculpted waist gives this piece the necessary contrast to separate it from your typical shorts and t-shirts. Simply divine.
In the thrid picture, I am donning the 'Allegra' Jacket and 'Esther' Pants. I LOVE this jacket and do not want to take it off! The texturing is so sleek and rich. The expertly crafted jacket belt is to die for. Once again, I just love how this piece follows the lines of my body. The pants are equally incredible as well. Their super skinny shape and  cuffs compliment this jacket perfectly. I don't know if I could get away with wearing this in RL, but I love being able to in SL. 'Gasque' is name we will all be hearing a lot of. The unique style and perfectly executed designs are prime examples of what fashion is all about. Gasque doesn't follow trends, it starts them. So, what are you waiting for? There is a limo waiting to take you Gasque Couture now: http://slurl.com/secondlife/ZI%20Ocean%20View/110/113/305

I was sincerely flattered when Alan Edison, the designer behind Ty Zvezda sent me some review copies. As a long time fan of Alan's designs, it was a real treat to work with his gorgeous pieces. Alan has and intuitive feel for the female form and his body conscious designs are proof of this. In the first picture, I am wearing the 'Ella' gown. This is one luxurious piece that gives my figure an amazing silhouette.The silky texture and simple lines make this one elegant number. I just adore how Alan carefully adds the perfect amount of highlights and shadow, in order to show of the folds and creases on the dress. This is definitely one of my favorite gowns!
In the second picture, I am donning the 'katfkan'. This gorgeous piece comes in rich colors and 3 different wear options. This is another aspect that I love about Alan's clothes. Once again, the texture has a silk-like feel and flows with each subtle movement. The perfect piece to add to any outfit.
In the third picture, Alan has me in his 'Oklak' vest. This has a more bohemian and folksy look to it, which I am really into at the moment. Once again, this come sin 3 different sizes, so you can find the perfect fit and/ or look. I also paired this look with Alan's 'shuffle flats' and 'bunty heels'. These shoes are simple, but made extremely well. Pus, they go with just about any casual look.
In the fourth picture, I am sporting the first skirt I have ever bought at Ty Zvezda. I love the high waisted tulip shape and super soft iridescent texture. One again, Alan uses his incredible eye for detail  to carefully adorn  this skirt with hand drawn buttons and 3 different trim options.. This skirt is a MUST for any woman's wardrobe. This 'high waisted mini' can be worn casual or dressy, like so many of Alan's designs.
I the fifth picture, I am wearing Alan's fabulous 'mini beach wrap'. This uber cute pareo also comes in two different wear option.This is the quintessential bikini cover-up As you can see in the middle of this picture, I am went in a slightly different direction. I am wearing this amazing 'Sloo' top. I just can't get enough of this cute button down blouse which is cinched by a wide belt. Simply scrumptious.
In the fifth and last picture, I had to show a close up the handbags! I am in LOVE with Alan's bags. There is the 'Ugery' bag that is constructed with soft leather an beautiful jewel tones. Then we have 'Fofo' bag, which is made up of a thicker leather and wrapped in a uber cute bow. The silver linked straps are the finishing touch on this already amazing accessory. If you are a hang-bag whore  like me, these are the ultimate pieces for any womans handbag inventory. So yummy!
Ok, enough of my blabbering... Hurry up and check out Alan's incredible creations for yourself at Ty Zvezda. The limo awaits:

Pic 5: **TKO** Kelly Waistcoat - Red, Nia Jeans - Black  &  Kelly Waistcoat - Teal, Nia Jeans - Pink

**TKO** is still a fairly new name for me, but from the bits I have seen in past few weeks, I have really taken a liking to their clothes. Kirsty Oherlihy, the fabulous designer behind **TKO** was generous enough to drop me of a few review copies of her latest releases. Thank you, Kirsty! Let me just say, I was definitely pleased with what I saw and wore. Kirsty's designs are super cute and really sexy. This mix may sound like a contradiction, but Kirsty knows how to pull it off. One example of this would be the 'retro tubes', which come adorned with cartoon characters from my youth, like the "Care Bears" and "Power Puff Girls". You have got to love that!
Then Kirsty takes things up a notch with her uber hawt 'Roxy Dress'. The simple lines and wild zebra print, make this an excellent choice for night out on the town. I also must mention that Kirsty's skirt prims are superb. I did not have to do any editing at all, which is definitely rare for me.
In the third picture, I am sporting Kirsty's 'Mandy' top. I really adore this piece. I love the gorgeous floral print and carefully hand drawl wrinkles and gathers in the fabric. Added touches like this, give Kirsty's designs that extra element of realism that I am always seeking.
In the forth picture, I am wearing the 'Becca' top. This is top is a bit more daring and I like it! It shows just the right amount skin with out being too flashy. It fits my body perfectly and shows off my curves in the just the right way. Kirsty definitely knows what works on the female form.
In the last picture, I am donning the 'Kelly Waistcoast' and 'Nia' jeans. These are two of my favorite pieces. I love the adeptly placed seams on the jeans and vest. The artfully sculpted flared cuffs blend perfectly with the rest of the pant. There are no awkward "connections". The jeans have a slightly relaxed fit, but are cut low enough to add a bit spice to this already amazing design. The vest is expertly rendered and, once again, shows off my curves to a "T". So, let me stop my rambling, while you go down to **TKO** and check-out Kirsty's designs for yourself. The limo is waiting: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kodiak%20Island/155/145/23

I have been hearing a lot about .:Naive:. lately, but it wasn't until Leah McCullough gave us some review copies that I got a chance to really get up close and personal with her designs. Thank you Leah! And let me tell you, I was in for very a nice surprise! Leah's clothes can range from very feminine and retro to extremely edgy and progressive. Nevertheless, they are made to work with with a woman's body and accentuate one's curves very nicely. Leah has a great eye for style and doesn't follow trends, she creates them.

As you can see in the above pictures, Leah's lines are simple but are not lacking detail. You can see the carefully placed pleats and seems in her textures. These small features give her clothes a huge dose of realism. Her crafty prim work is the finishing touch on all her outfits. From delicate little bows to full flowing empire waist skirts, Leah does is all and does it well. She has definitely won me over with her sassy and chic sensibility that adds a bit more attitude and flair to any girls wardrobe. So, if you haven't been to .:Naive:. yet, what are you waiting for?

Haute Couture with HYPER CULTURE!

Pic 1: HC - Couture Collection - Trinity 

Pic 2: HC - Loose Summer Dress (Night Flowers)

I have been a long time fan of HYPER CULTURE. Well I haven't been here that long...a whopping 7 months! So when I found out that Christensia Parkin had come out with a "Couture" line, I was really excited to see what fabulous creations she had made. Luckily, thanks to Christensia's generosity, I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of "Trinity". Thank you Christensia! "Trinity" truly amazed me. The first thought that came to mind was "Jean-Paul Gaultier" a la early '90s. If any of you have seen footage of Madonna's "Blonde Ambition" tour, you can clearly see what I mean. I just love the soft, lacy and very sexy body suit that is worn over the silky pants. The asymmetric shoulder pads and hard geometric belt are a strong contrast against the soft chenille-like texture of the shrug. The silky striped pants add an extra bit of sensuality to this already smoldering number. "Trinity" is one prime example of an outfit being extremely sexy with out having to show a ton of skin. Christensia's carefully designed bodysuit hugs every curve perfectly. Her added touch of "avant garde" is not overwhelming. It is adeptly balanced out with luxurious and ultra feminine textures. "Trinity" is truly a work of art and I look forward to more "Couture" from Christensia in the future.Actually, I have heard from a few sources that this may be soon. I'm crossing my fingers.
The next piece, "loose summer dress". is not from Christensia's "Couture" line. However, I couldn't help but add it to the mix. This was a "Hump Day Happiness" deal that I grabbed on Wednesday and I LOVE it! One would think I would have enough "boho-like" dresses with empire waists, but I couldn't miss out on this. I just love the icey and exotic pattern that loosely sways with each movement. It's one piece you just can't go wrong with over the summer. So, do yourself a favor and tp on down to HYPER CULTURE and see the cool, comfortable and uber chic styles that await you. The limo is waiting: http://slurl.com/secondlife/SLeek/129/97/22

More Sexiness with .:Shush:.

Pic 5: .:Shush:. Delicious dress green

I had gotten my first taste of Avy Fhang's designs at .:Shush:. when I was still a "noob" (I've been around for about 7 months now) and I have been infatuated with her fun and flirty pieces ever since. So, I was especially ecstatic when she gave me the opportunity to review some of her latest work. Avy has an amazing eye for detail, which shows through in her meticulously hand drawn textures. Her carefully placed highlights and bits of shading give her designs that extra feel of realism. In the first picture, I am wearing Avy's "At the shore bikini" in pink. This fabulous 2 piece come in array of delicious eye-popping colors that go perfect with this summer's vibrant color pallet. This piece also come with the uber cute "star sunglasses" and several layering options with is always a huge plus! If you want to cover-up, Avy also included the beautiful pareo (which comes with a version that does not have sunglasses on the hip) and an overlay top. One can't resist the delicate and perfectly rendered sheer fabric that this "cover-up" is made of. Simply divine. This is a definite favorite in my book!

In the second picture, I am sporting the "beach short pink & white". These shorts are the perfect length. Short enough to be very sexy, but leaves just enough to the imagination. I also love that these shorts are white, but do not lose detail. My one issue in SL, is that white just seems to glow and the features just disappear. Avy seems to have solved this problem by adeptly shading the shorts so the slightest wrinkle stands out. And the top! I am wearing the "Relaxing top transparent long" in pink. It's diaphanous texture is so light and sensual. It comes in 8 gorgeous colors with several layering options! You will see me pair this with her 'Fluffy Skirt and "Cargos" too.

I am donning Avy's "Fluffy Skirt" in dark blue in the third picture. I am in LOVE with this flowy skirt with a bohemian edge! Many times, skirts that are a bit "fluffy" tend to be a bit too "poofy" for my taste. However, Avy as usual knows just want a women want and gives it to us. The prim work is exceptional and flows with ever subtle movement. 

In the fourth picture, I am sporting the "Splatter Cargo Pants". Kierra just blogged the "Rock On" cargos, which are similar. I can seen why she likes them so much. The denim detailing and carefully sculpted cuffs are to die for! And paint splatters she adorned them with give them that extra something special. I also am loving the "Rock On" belt with the "kitchy" key chain with an 8 ball dangling from it! It's definitely an ideal touch.

In the fifth and last picture, I am wearing Avy's "Delicious Dress Green". This dress is truly delicious too! The ruffled and varied shades of green are simply yummy! Plus, you get a choice of two top options. Green and grey. I am wearing the grey in the third picture with the "Fluffy Skirt". This is a quintessential summer dress that can be worn casual with a pair of sandals or more dressy with a pair of chic stilettos. 

I will stop my rambling, so you can get your butt down to .: Shush:.  and check-out Avy's incredible designs for yourself. As usual, I sent a limo: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Saint%20Regis/212/64/23

Pic 3: *REDGRAVE* Vampire Daylight Skin Trinity/ 02 fancy: Front & Back

"Vampire Daylight Skin-Trinity" is one of Emilia Redgrave's newest creations. And it really is an amazing creation. The skin is pale, yet luminous and has an ethereal glow. One can't help but to be instantaneously drawn to Emilia's carefully painted highlights and shadowed details. The strong but still very delicate bone structure is gorgeous. The cheekbones and collar bone are deliciously executed . And one certainly can not overlook the perfectly shaped legs and stomach. The make-ups can be rich and dramatic or muted and sensual. I just adore the added effect of mascara smudged tears in quite a few of her choices.The luscious yummy lips are to die for. Their pout is simply perfect. And the lashes! They are so long and thick! 

This definitely is a different type of skin that I am usually used to seeing from *REDGRAVE* and I LOVE it! I love that Emilia can stray from "norm" and create such beautiful fantasy-type skins. This is definitely a perfect piece for those looking for a bit of added drama and mysticism to their style. So, get your your cute pixilated butt down to *REDGRAVE* and try on a few demos of "Vampire Daylight Skin -Trinity". I am warning you though, because you will not want to take it off!
