#84 ‘Little Black Dress’ style

One is never over-dressed

or underdressed

with a Little Black Dress

Karl Lagerfield

party-dress-wide

I slip into my favorite [ZE} LBD, zip up my Essenz heels, fluff up my D!va hair and lean in close to the mirror to check my Veechi lipstick and eyeshadow. Oops – I nearly forgot to check my nails. A quick coat of {ZOZ] in a gold shade – superfast drying.

Hmm now for jewelry – I’ll choose a couple of LUXE. gold accessories – then add some from LaGyo. Done!

Zoom over to the IE photo studio to snap some selfies – then off to the casting. Wish me luck.

#81 The last of the evening sun

I’m not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, ‘Bring on the day!’ I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I’m even remotely awake. But I love the golden hour in the evening, as hokey as that sounds. Just as the sun is about to set and you get those lovely shadows and everything looks gold and yellow. Stacy London

Last sun

It is wonderful to lean back against the warm bricks in the evening sun soaking in the soft healing ambiance.

In Second Life wonderful poses help express the feeling – these poses from – IE Wall to Wall V1 & V2, by Kay Weston – from the recent Alchemy event – are now instore at Image Essentials

# like a sunflower

Fantastic sunflowers – what a joy to find these outfits!

I decided to channel Twiggy – adding this glossy updo from Vanity Hair, pastel makeup from Blacklace, eyeliner from *League*, bright earrings from Maxi Gossamer and finishing with these great shoes from KC

Sunflowers 2

BakaBoo is a mini project by Ocean Blackthorne that features one-of-a-kind clothing that attempts to bridge the line between fashion and art. Expect truly unique pieces that are special, risky and never boring.

Kohn has been delighted to find LOTS of great menswear at the SWANK Event – and even agreed to wear the jacket part of this outfit – we went to a 70’s disco party and danced up a storm.

#74 Prom Night

‘Cause someday when you’re looking back on your life
At the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights – Tim McGraw

Prom night Mem 2nd tint

Looking back – it’s the photographs we treasure; letting us remember the details – the hours spent dreaming, planning and preparing.

Kay Weston of IMAGE ESSENTIALS has made this great set of pose props to catch our Second Life memories. IE Prom Night Set 1 (featured here) has a silky backdrop with flower lights that really does remind me of Prom Night photo booths set up to catch groups and couples.

There are 4 poses built in (click to sit on the flower urns) and this is the easiest prop to use – giving each person a menu with the option to adjust positions.

This would easily double as a sweet set for engagement or wedding photos.

#73 Oslo Up in Lights

Recently I had the privilege walking for Marquesse in the Let’s Summer Fashion Show.

This amazingly customizable outfit OSLO has 2 parts – the coat & shorts and the boots. The boot HUD has 5 colors to change boot, sole and laces. The coat and shorts HUD has 5 colors PLUS a color picker – so the coat and shorts can be whatever combination you can dream up.

I chose to keep the boots and coat white and shade the shorts to pick up the pink in this amazing OLD Dragonfly Hair by Boudoir from the 2012 Crazy Hair Hunt.

– If anyone ever reads this who has a dream to organize something that will be remembered by the participants FOREVER – please please organise another CRAZY HAIR HUNT

#68 Peace on Earth 8

Quoted using the Elven language of JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings

Shine Messmer’s beautiful gift for POE8 swirled me into elfdom…

POE 8 globe #19 contains *Glitter* Fashion Medieval Princess Mesh Gold – with and without the shawl, comes in 5 standard sizes and can easily be worn with a mesh body.

Hesitantly the Elf Princess moves towards her dream.
