Last Day For January Collabor88 Featuring Maitreya

I always like to save some of the best event items for last. My favorite creation for this round of Collabor88 has to be Maitreya's Vintage Lace Gown...

This gown is absolutely STUNNING! Onyx always puts so much effort into rendering life-like textures and creating top notch meshes. This Gown can be worn is many different ways too. It can be worn as a simple strapless gown sans lace overlay. Onyx also created a matching Vintage Collar and Vintage Pearl Necklace, which completes this ensemble perfectly. You can not help but feel like a total diva, when wearing this phenomenal gown. So if you have not bought or demoed this yet, make sure run and do it NOW!

Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth, created this super sultry and sexy hair that goes perfectly with Onyx's Gown. This tousled side-swept hair is called, Pink Flamingos. This style should look familiar, since I posted Bubble's Female Trouble hair, in a previous post here. The only difference is that Pink Flamingos does not have Female Trouble whispy bangs. I love both styles equally, so demo them before January's Collabor88 comes to a close!

Here are your LMs and Credits....

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Have I told you just how much I love this round of Collabor88? I think I have, but I just can't get over how amazing it is, so I will  tell you again. Not only is the theme brilliant, but all of the designers really outdid themselves. I wish I could blog everything, but it would take me way into the next round of Collabor88, since I am the slowest blogger on Earth. Just in case you do not know, the them is called, "Razzle Dazzle". It is inspired by the the 'Roaring '20s' and 'The Great Gatsby'. All of the items mentioned below are Collabor88 exclusives

For this post, I chose to wear this stunning "Claudette dress", from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. I paired it a fabulous "Mink Princess Stole" from Sanya Bilavio of .: ryvolter :.. I have been searching for the perfect mink stole and now I have found it! 

I had a very difficult time choosing what jewelry to wear with my ensemble, since there are so many lovely pieces to be found at this month's Collabor88. I chose the very elegant and versatile, "Florentine Lover's" necklace and bracelet from Maxi Gossamer. I love the fact the both the jewels and the metals are all texture change, leaving me with a multitude of style options. 

One of my most delightful discoveries from this cycle of Collabor88, is from Nina Helix of .Birdy. Skins. I have just recently heard about her skins, but have not got around to trying them on until now. Her 'Aria Skin', which I wearing in these photos, is so lovely.I am impressed by her great eye for detail and beautifully rendered features. Not to mention her fresh and dewy skin tones. 'Aria' comes in 6 beautiful make-ups in the 'Pure' skin tone. Each make-up comes with 2 brow styles (thin and thick) in 4 different brow colors (which are embedded into the skin), 3 blush tattoos, several mole tattoo options, and 2 different make-up styles (dewy or regular). You really must demo this skin for yourself. 

The hair was another difficult choice, since there are a tons of wonderful hairstyles this round. I decided on Marisa Kira's (of "D!va Hair") "Layla" hair style. I love this short curly bob with wispy tendrils.

The "Alders Living Room" decor is from the uber talented Colleen Desmoulins of The Loft. This art deco inspired living room is to die for! 

I think I have almost everything covered. I am so tired, so please excuse my short descriptions. I doubt anyone reads what I write anyway. LOL. So, here are the credits and LM to Collabor88:
