More goodies from Accessory Fair 2010!

The Admira Necklace and Earrings by Sofi Trenkins of SIGMA Jewels is an exclusive AF2010 release. I love the way the gentle, leaf-like shape of the pendants lay against the neck. In addition to the Sea shade shown here, the set is available in four additional colors: Brown, Charcoal, Red and Purple, and in gold and silver options. Visit SIGMA Jewels at Booth 25.

Lucky Dice is one of the new necklaces by Sissi String of SiSSi available at the Fair.  The necklace comes in both a male and female version and features layers of black beads with dangling dice and the Chinese symbol for Luck.  I love the multiple strands and the prim-work of the dice. Be sure to stop in SiSSi’s booth, it’s Number 30.

For the clothing, I’ve chosen pieces from Phoenix Rising by Ashoka Eales. The black and white dress is Stacie’s Strength and comes with both a skirt and pants version, there is also a jacket and prim belt option included.  In the second photo, I chose two of Ashoka’s latest releases, the Bree Jacket in Plum and the Medium Wash Boyfriend Jeans. And, to finish it off, I layered the jacket over the most-worn item in my inventory, MichaMi’s GlamTank in White.  My hair is by Truth and fri.day, respectively.

For her contributions to the Accessory Fair 2010, AtomicBambi has drawn inspiration from The Great White Way. Miss Saigon is a beautiful headpiece with colorful butterflies,  Masquerade (oh, how I love The Phantom Of The Opera) is a gorgeous, bejeweled mask and Wicked, which I’ve chosen to photograph.  I’m absolutely obsessed these days with the musical of the same name, so it only follows that this would be my favorite of the collection. You can find AtomicBambi at Booth 10.

Phobia is a new-to-me store with designs by Mystical Trefoil. With three new releases for Accessory Fair 2010, you will definitely want to stop by and take a look at the styles available.  Here, I’ve chosen to feature the Full Facial piercing with Stars and the Diamond Key necklace. Both are very well made and the piercing features 62 color change options.  Phobia is located at Booth 62.

Accessory Fair 2010 starts March 6, 2010 and features the grid’s best jewelry and accessory designers…and a full schedule of events!  Here are just a couple of fun, new releases you can look forward to.

Royally Flushed is a poker themed necklace and mouth attachment being released exclusively at the Fair and is jam packed with features.  Created by Lacie Chambers of LacieCakes, Royally Flushed features the Evolve HUD which allows you to change the metal, gemstone and color of the necklace.  There are so many options to choose from you can create literally hundreds of combinations. Click on the “Money! Money! Money!” NomNom and choose from several fun chat sayings.  I love the layered necklace look.  Seriously, give me a neck full of chains and I am a happy girl!

Melatonin Hax of Split Pea will have several fun, and sometimes feathery, hats, masks, headbands…even panda and wolf feet!…available at the Fair. The I Told Lies To Your Family Mask (to hold), which you see here, is Melatonin’s contribution to the Relay For Life fundraiser that is the epicenter of the Accessory Fair. And really, who doesn’t need more masks and feathers? I know I’ll be stocking up on all of them!

Accessory Fair 2010 is presented by Glance International Agency and will be open March 6 through March 27, 2010.  Follow the jump for the full calendar of events and entry area landmarks. Read the rest of this entry »

…created by a few of my favorite people.

MichaMi’s brand new Tori Dress by Milla Michinaga. The ensemble comes with tights, but I think it works with bare legs, too.  The Boho Birdie Necklace from Sable Rose by Rosie Barthelmess. I blogged about this earlier in the week and haven’t had it off since, I love it so. Truth’s latest release, Justine, in Champagne by Truth Hawks. Truth is a machine, pumping out three or four new styles every week. And his styles, including demos, are available on xstreet.

The background texture is by Moo Money of Made By Moo. I’ve become a bit of a textureholic lately, because it is so much easier to snap lovely pictures when there is something pretty to pose against.  Moo just released dozens of gorgeous wallpapers, with and without baseboards, in a whole rainbow of colors.  This is from the Grandma’s Neutral Wallpaper Browns pack.

And here’s a close-up of Jori Watler’s Upon Wings ring which is available at alaMood as part of this week’s Stumblebum Brigade event. Jori makes so many lovely things, more often than not, if you see me out and ask me who made the jewelry I’m wearing, at least one piece will be Jori’s.

I love all of my very talented friends. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. <3

Stephanie is the latest skin from Exodi. Ryker Beck sent out her third and final pre-release gift skin to her group today called Hot Date. The entire line will be released on Valentine’s Day, so stay tuned.

I’m wearing Stephanie in the Panacek skin tone and the new Melissa Hair from Truth in Champagne.  The frame is provided by FilterCam, of course, so there is no post-processing, just a quick crop.  Happy Tuesday!

Some people may choose to ring in the new year, but I prefer to Rock!

The Rebel, Rebel collection from 5th & Oxford features two t-shirts and a halter, each in five colors and a denim mini with prim skirt and sculpted belt in four colors.  There is also a coordinating home furnishings collection with wall and floor textures, two record mobiles and a sofa in two colors.  As usual, Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot haven’t left a single detail to chance in creating these items.  One of my New Year’s resolutions is to rebuild my home on Night Flower and you can be sure that I will find a place for all of these pieces!

Annah Whitfield passed me a copy of her Patricia jacket before Christmas and I have finally found time to blog it. And I’m so glad that I did as it is simply gorgeous. As with all of the designs at StoRin, this jacket is very well made and I love the fact that it comes with a color-change belt. For this look, I chose to pair it with simple trousers, a bustier with some lovely details and I made the belt blue to pick up the stone in the necklace.

Jacket: Patricia by StoRin in Black
Bustier: Kate by Rebel Hope (part of dress)
Pants: Georgie Tapered Trousers by Whippet & Buck in Taupe Grey
Necklace: Vinca by Rozoregalia

I actually put this look together several days ago.  Launa Fauna had just released her new skin line, Lapine, under her new brand name, L. Fauna, and I was in the mood for something comfy and casual.  The holidays, however, creeped up on me and I was left with no time to blog.

I wanted to play with some frosty blue and silver tones, so this outfit started with the Elspeth Cardigan in Snowflake from Artilleri, which I layered over MichaMi’s GlamTank in white.  I topped Milk Motion’s My Boyfriend Jeans with Reek’s I Heart Stripes Belt.  For accessories, I turned to my “go to” jewelry designer, Jori Watler, and chose the Kalnera Original Pendant and Bandara Bracelet from alaMood.

The skin that I’m wearing in the first picture is Fresh, with the freckled option, from the original Lapine release.  Today, however, I couldn’t help myself and had to ‘port over to pick up the second set.  I’ve included photos of the five new makeups.  I’m wearing the Tan 1 tone in each of these photos, but there are six skin tones available.  Each comes with tintable brows and lipsticks, as well as freckle and cleavage options.  There are now 10 makeups available in each tone and L.Fauna offers a gift-delivery service for both single skins and fat packs.  I love skins with freckles, but I usually have problems finding a skin that is both perfectly freckled and fits my shape.  These L. Fauna skins deliver…on both counts.  You can bet I’ll be wearing them quite a bit!

Also wearing:
Hair: Lydia in Coffee by Truth
Eyes: Vetro in Blue by Exodi
Lashes: Beauty by Calla

StoRin’s new Flowey dress, designed by Annah Whitfield, is the perfect ensemble for holiday parties.  Not overly formal, yet not the least bit casual, the short, flirty skirt and draped-over-one-shoulder bodice is festive enough for any gathering.

Because the design is so simple, while at the same time interesting, it needs only sparkly earrings, a bracelet with a little personality and some sky-high pumps to complete the look. Although, I really think some mistletoe and a glass of eggnog would be the perfect finishing touches.  Happy Holidays!

There are precious few shopping days left until Christmas, what’s on your wishlist?

Jori Watler has always been a great friend to Codie and I. She is, simply, family. So, when she offered to create an exclusive Rouge version of her gorgeous “Dream” Ensemble, we were over-the-moon excited, but not at all surprised by her generosity.

The “Dream” Rouge Ensemble includes necklace, rings, cuffs – and as an added incentive – the matching earrings.  The only place this set is available is at the Rouge Boutique and 50% of the proceeds benefit the Rouge Tiers fund.

The Rouge sim is owned by CodeBastard Redgrave and was designed and built by Eshi Otawara.  Rouge is home to the CodeRed Lounge, Boudoir Rouge Gallery Walk, Rouge Boutique and the Mechanized Life main store.

Designers, interested in the Rouge Affiliate Program? Contact me for more information about offering your items in the Rouge Boutique.  Many thanks to Jori for her continued friendship and patronage. Visit ala Mood for more of Jori’s amazing designs.
