PENUMBRA FASHION WEEK feat PRISM!

.PENUMBRA. SPRING/SUMMER FASHION WEEK 2014 has officially begun! If you do not already know this, .PENUMBRA. SPRING/SUMMER FASHION WEEK 2014, a very much anticipated one week event, takes the pioneer to display and express varied new styles in Second Life. The fashion fiesta, first and unique of its kind, is a contemporary platform envisioned and designed to unite established designers with designers who aspire being “BRANDS” of tomorrow.
.PENUMBRA. SPRING/SUMMER FASHION WEEK 2014, is envisioned to lead and promote designer’s aspirations and motivations to a Global Audience Arena is Second Life!
One of the first designers who really caught my eye, is Journey McLaglen of Prism!

I really love how Journey mixes her textures, as well as her use of sexy feminine lines. I think her Marilyn Sweater, which has a Missoni like print, mixed with her Herringbone Bamboo Marilyn Skirt, a prime example of her talent. Journey will definitely be one designer to watch and I highly suggest demoing all her work at the Penumba Retail Area.

I accessoried the outfit with both old and new items that I adore. I really felt the gorgeous green stones in this (Kunglers Extra) Vivienne Necklace really popped against the muted colors of my ensemble. I also chose these fabulous (Kunglers) Bracelets, which are a TDR Fusion exclusive right now!
I was looking for the perfect clutch to go with my outfit, so I went an old favorite from the super talented Jin Elfan of Leverocci, Unfortunately, the Leverocci inworld store is not closed. However, you can still her purchase her products on the marketplace for a very nice discount!
Sigifaust of ieQUED released a quick preview of her AMAZING new ChaCha Sandals in orange for Fifty Linden Friday. Please stay tuned for the full release!
So with that said, here are your LMs Credits!

Baiastice for FaMESHed!

I am really tired today, so I am going to try and make this post brief...
Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, always manages to impress to me with her wonderful designs. She created this AMAZING belted Sophia Jumpsuit for May's FaMESHed. The jumpsuit comes in ton of brilliant Spring/Summer colors and with a color change HUD for the belt, which makes for perfect styling.
Make sure you demo this ASAP!

There are so many wonderful new accessories on the grid, whether it is a store release or an event exclusive. I adore these new Lacey Platform heels from Dave Freeman of Just Design. They comes in a vast array of single of colors, which also come with a HUD that changes the texture of the sole and chain (gold, silver and black). If you buy the fatpack (with all colors), then you can change the color of each part of the shoe (sole, shoe, straps and chain), giving you unlimited wear options! Please keep in mind, that these shoes require JD - MyFeet Tip Toe, which you can buy at the Just Design Mainstore or on the Markeplace. 

I highly recommend picking up Just Design's MyFeet in Flat and Tip Toe. Not only are they beautiful bare feet with a perfect skin matching system (via database with almost every skin tone on the grid), but they are made to be worn with most of Just Design's latest shoe releases. Other shoe creators are also making shoes to fit his feet, just like the Slink bare feet!

SigiFaust Resident of ieQUED, created these awesome new Ace Shades. Not only are they perfectly rendered, but they come with endless options! A HUD let's you customize the temple, the frames and the accent piece in a choice of 16 colors. The lenses have 5 textures to choose from via the HUD and you can tint to them to any shade desired! Definitely make sure you grab these right away!

May's L'accessoires is still going strong! There are so many wonderful pieces of jewelry that you can find here this round. I absolutely LOVE this Irie Necklace from the talented riri Bazar of h.m.a.e.m..
I am also very fond of this lovely Swirly Dress Ring from Tiffy Vella of Eclectica. The ring has a texture change script too! Please make sure check out all the wonderful creations at this round of L'accessoires!
I know this gorgeous Nostalgia bracelet is not a L'accessoires exclusive, but I could not resist mentioning it again. It was made by talented Caelyn Hancroft of Cae and is part of her larger Nostalgia Collection, which also includes a necklace, earrings and rings. Each part is texture change via HUD. Do yourself a favor and check out all of Cae's amazing creations!

Oh more thing, this Toni Straw Tote, which is from Indyra Seigo of {Indyra}, is another summer staple. It comes with 3 bag holds (elbow, hand and arm) and has a texture change script that gives you several color options!

With that said, here are your LMs and Credits:

Stepford Wife

I am absolutely in love with Maylee Oh's, of The Secret Store, 50's vintage inspired Betty Swing Dress. This stunning creation with it's perfectly rendered textures, is also a May Collabor88 exclusive this month. This dress, which comes in a beautiful array of patterns (floral, polka dots and stripes) and colors, can be worn and styled in so many different ways (especially since it comes with texture change HUD for the belt). So I decided to go with a more classic look that made me feel so elegant, beautiful and well...perfect...kind of like a 'Stepford' version of myself. LOL.

Anyway, Maylee has once again won me over with yet another gorgeous creation! You absolutely MUST demo this dress ASAP at Collabor88!
May's Collabor88 also has a ton of amazing accessories to go with all the fabulous clothes. I seriously adored this Frankie Purse from Natalee Oodles of Noodles. This beautiful purse goes so well with this dress too!
I also couldn't resist these fabulous Glossed Pumps from Hervé Faenzo. Like the purse and the dress, they are rendered to perfection and are a May Collabor88 exclusive!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo created the most stunning jewelry for this month's Collabor88. I know it is a bit hard to see in these pics, but I am wearing her Mary Necklace (with swallows and flowers) and Mary Flower Earrings. The necklace and earrings are available in 3 different metals (gold, silver and bronze) and the flowers come with a texture-change HUD. This makes matching a cinch! So please do your self a favor and check-out Gyo's whole Mary Collection at Collabor88.
Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth, didn't hold back either this month. He created this lovely retro-esque hair style, called A Little Lamb. It also comes with this texture change bow, which totally completes my look! This another MUST demo item.
I think I covered everything, I do apologize if I forgot to mention anything. Here are your LMs and Credits:

PIA!

The super talented Mimikri Kit has been on fire lately, creating and releasing some of her best designs to date! She just recently released this beautiful camisole dress, called PIA. I adore the simplicity and relaxed flirty feel to this dress. It can be worn so many ways, but I decided to keep things simple and wear it as is. If you have not been to Mimkri's Mainstore lately, then you absolutely must go ASAP! She has so many beautifully made original designs that you will not be able to resist!

Carina Larsen of Amacci has released this fabulous new skin, called Tyne! Like all of Carina's skins, Tyne is expertly shaded with a luminous glow. Her body is beautifully rendered with a lovely tone. She is available in 12 stunning make-ups plus a "clear" version. Tyne also comes in a choice of 2 skin tones - cream and nutmeg. Each skin comes with a ton of options too, which include: 10 lipsticks (on tattoo), 3 cleavage options (on tattoo and shirt layer), several brow shapes and a blonde brow (on tattoo). So please do yourself a favor and demo this amazing skin ASAP!

Mr. Truth Hawks just recently released this fabulous new hair style, called Thelma! It is a Collabor88 exclusive this month, so you definitely do NOT want to miss it!
AvaGardner Kungler always creates such stunning jewelry with an amazing organic feel to it. Although these Walhalla Necklace and Earrings are not a recent release, I could not help but mention them. The color story and gemstone shapes are so lovely, as with all her accessories. I know it is hard to see, but I am also wearing bracelets that Ava created in the same color, which are TDR Fusion exclusive right now! So make you sure you check-out the Kunglers Mainstore, as well as TDR Fusion ASAP!

May Collabor88 Perfect Pin-ups

May Collabor88 is here and well underway! Once again, the Collabor88 creators managed to wow me with their amazing themed creations. Just when I think they can not top the previous rounds, they prove me wrong! LOL! The theme for May is called, Milkshakes and Turntables, which is definitely one of my favorite themes to date! What exactly is Milkshakes and Turntables? It's a perfect mix of late 50's to early 60's tailored styles and kitsch with a rockabilly edge. The color palette includes shades of pink, aqua, mint, red and black.

Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy created the following look, which sums up Collabor88's May theme perfectly! I am totally in love with her Unbuttoned Knotted Shirt, as well as these High-Waisted Skinny Jeans. As always, Azure's creations are textured and rendered to perfection, making this ensemble even more irresistible! By the way, the Unbuttoned Knotted Shirt comes with a HUD, so you can change the color/pattern of the inside top. You can also chose to wear the shirt without the inside top.
These seriously sexy Moxi Heels from Darling Monday of fri.day are to DIE FOR! I love the glamorous pin-up girl feel of these peep-toe heels, which were made to be worn with Slink's AvEnhance Feet (High). You will definitely want to grab these shoes in every color available!

The super talented Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, created the perfect accessories to go with all your Collabor88 exclusives. She made these fabulous Mary Bow Bandanas that come in a ton of iconic patterns and prints. Gyo also designed these gorgeous Mary Swallow Earrings, which add a bit of rockabilly kitsch. Be sure to check-out her whole Mary Collection at May's Collabor88.
Speaking of awesome Collabor88 accessories, Polyester Partridge of (Yummy), created this delicious Cherry Necklace, as well as a whole line of other fruity necklaces and colorful baubles.

aida Ewing of Glam Affair, created another STUNNING new skin for Collabor88, called Coral! She is available in 8 beautiful make-ups and in a choice of 3 skin tones (Arctic, Asia and America). Each make-up comes in 8 different brow colors (embedded into the skin), as well as no brow option too! Do yourself a favor and demo this glamorous new skin ASAP!
Lamb Bellic of lamb, came out with this amazing retro inspired hairstyle, called Peggy Sue. And yes, it is a Collabor88 exclusive too! She created two more May themed styles, which you MUST check out right away!

May Eve

I'm still rushing to catch-up with all of April's events and am obviously cutting it real close! It is the last day of April, so please make sure you run and check-out the following events exclusives (if you haven't already) before the venues close this evening.
The first of May is almost here and Spring is well underway. I am in love with all the pretty pastel tones and dreamy prints that are flooding the stores this season. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, one of favorite creators, has followed suit with a ton of gorgeous new items for all the different events.

I particularly adore this gorgeous Ory shirt and skirt combination piece, which was an April FaMESHed exclusive. Unfortunately, I am just now realizing that I made the mistake of putting this month's FaMESHed exclusives in my inventory's Seasons Story folderrrrrr. OMG! Oops! A huge oops! I had planned to post this dress for Seasons Story, which is ending tonight a 12am SLT. However, it was created for April's FaMESHed, which is now over (grrr)... I do apologize for this massive mistake. Thankfully, you will be able to purchase it in Baiastice Mainstore now! The pretty pink Metallic Letters Clutch that I am holding, IS part of Baiastice's Seasons Story exclusive. At least I got that right!

This stunning skin is indeed a Seasons Story exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. It is part of her latest Brandi skin line, which comes in a choice of 5 lovely make-ups in 2 skin tones (Europa & Frost). Each make-up comes with 12 brow colors (including 3 new pastel colors and a no brow option) that are embedded into skin. You can also purchase an additional pack of 14 vibrant lipsticks, making the wear options virtually endless. 

The hair, which is yet another another Seasons Story creation, is from the talented Kavar Cleanslate of Exile. It is called San Francisco, and it comes with flowers (color change too) in it's hair! However, I decided to wear this amazing Spring Crown from Anemysk Karu of ANE. These gorgeous rose Strappy Heels are also from ANE. You can find both the Spring Crown and the Strappy Heels in ton of brilliant colors at this months Collabor88.

Make sure you grab the skin and hair at Seasons Story!

The mistake I made with the first dress, I also made with this super cute Ruffle Collar Blouse & High Waist from Nyu Nyu Kimono of NYU. This was a April FaMESHed exclusive, but you can find it in the Nyu Maisntore now. I simply love Nyu Nyu's minimal yet very feminine creations, which are expressed so perfectly in this Spring ensemble.

This beautiful Daenerys skin is from nina Helix of Birdy and (you guessed it) is a Seasons Story exclusive. This dewy skin is definitely one of my favorite Birdy skins to date. It is sold as simple make-up free skin that comes with nice variety of brow colors that are embedded into it. It also comes with a brow free option and has several cleavage choices (including a smaller size sans nipple) that can be changed via tattoo layer. I dipped into my huge collection of various make-up tattoos, since I wanted a pinker tint to the lips and eyes (as well as liner) for this look. However, the skin is perfect without make-up! Do yourself a favor and demo this skin ASAP!

This one-sided braid, is one of TRUTH's latest and greatest releases, called  Elyse. There are a ton of amazing new hair styles at the TRUTH  HAIR Mainstor right now! Yay!

Pose Fair 2014 is still going on! If you like to take pictures in SL then you really need to go and see all the incredible poses and props featured there. The awesome pose that I used for the first picture of this post, as well the bird prop (in pics 1,2 and 4), is a Pose Fair gacha exclusive from Olivia Lalonde of Le Poppycock. This collection consists of 12 different poses (including 2 rares) that you can use alone or with the blue bird (which has the pose scripted into) that comes with it. These poses are perfect for Spring, so try your luck and collect each pose (the doubles always make for a great gift)!

Speaking of Pose Fair creators Nati Willaims of Imeka Poses crated the charming pink Flowery Mini Bag, as well as the poses used in pics 3 and 4. The poses are part of her Charmy and Miwa pose collections at Pose Fair 2014. 

Poses for a blogger are just important as clothes. They give our images energy and expression, which is not an always such an easy thing to do. This is why I find it very important to credit and support these talented creators!

April Collabor88 Featuring Tee*fy, LaGyo & Glam Affair!

I'm trying really hard to catch-up with all the AMAZING Collabor88 exclusives for April. I would love to blog every single thing that can be found there this month, but I don't think that will happen. LOL! But I will try. I am also trying to squeeze in other fabulous exclusives for the other events going on this month as well, but I am cutting it really close. So, let me see if I can make this post quick.

The super talented Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy, created this seriously gorgeous Sophie Cut-Out Ruffle Top and Su Pencil Skirt. I really love Sophie's delicate spaghetti strap top that are further complemented by an asymmetrical ruffled bottom. The Su Pencil Skirt is beautifully fitted with demure slit that goes up the side. I really appreciate how Azure can design outfits that are simultaneous girly and sexy. So make sure you check-out her collection at Collabor88!
Maxi Gossamer has been making shoes! She been creating wonderful and well detailed sandals that are to be worn with Slink's Avatar Enhanced Mesh Feet. These fabulous Lotus Flower Sandals come with a rigged and non-rigged mesh wear option. They are also texture change too, so the color choices are endless! They are also an April Collabor88 exclusive, so please make sure you demo them ASAP!

Jeweler extraordinaire, Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, made this AMAZING Maylea Necklace, This stunning statement piece is the perfect necklace to dress up any outfit! Since this necklace is an April Collabor88 exclusive, it was created in several beautiful colors that can be worn with any of the Collabor88 items. This is one collection you definitely do not want to miss!

Speaking of statement pieces, AvaGardner Kungler of (Kunglers Extra), created these awesome Esplendor Earrings for this months round of L'accessoires. They come is choice of 8 color/metal combinations that are absolutely stunning! Make sure grab these ASAP.

Hair diva, Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth, made this fabulous hair with a side chignon. It is called, Hang it up, and is another April Collabor88 exclusive that you must grab right away. 

aida Ewing of Glam Affair-, created a special edition of her Aria skin line for April's CCollabor88. It is available in 8 beautiful make-ups and comes in Artic and Jamaica skin tones. Run and demo it NOW!

My camera did a terrible job of picking-up this lovely Charmed Anklet in the first pic, so I took this close-up pic (see above image). The anklet was created by the talented Caelyn Hancroft of Cae. Not only is this anklet delicate and beautiful, but the charm can be changed via HUD (The Pic of the HUD, as well as all the charm options, is at the top of the above image). You have got to LOVE that! You can also change the metal to, which comes in a choice of silver or gold. Each package includes an anklet for both your right and left ankles, as well as version for heels! This is the perfect warm weather accessory. It looks great with or without shoes, so make sure you check this out!

So with that said, here are my LMs and Credits:
