And finally, Milla Michinaga, whom I’ve mentioned before is my favorite fashionista/blogger cum designer, has released a new leather dress. It is beautifully textured and the tailoring is simple, classic and easy to wear. And, the Nude version of the dress works well for the ecru edition of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge…double win!

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.

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

Accented with peacock feathers and turquoise, the set includes a necklace, earrings and three bracelet options.  She’s also including her Isadora set and the Jael-Azure set, both with necklace, earrings and bracelets AND her brand new Patchwork bangles.  You get all 4 sets for ONLY L$250!! That’s a huge discount off regular price, but you have to hurry!  The SLDD event starts at 6am SLT and there are only 100 available at that price.  Boho Birdie and Patchwork will be available at regular price after the event.  So, set your alarms and hurry over to Sable Rose for this extraordinary deal!

I really love the new Brooke skins from 5th & Oxford. Roslin and CJ have, once again, paid remarkable attention to the even the smallest details and Roslin’s experience as a makeup artist really comes through in this line. Here, I’m wearing the Kitty makeup, Number 4, in the Medium tone. I will have to show you more of the body at a later date…perhaps we’ll feature some lingerie since Valentine’s day will be here soon!

Also wearing, the Ebba Jeans and Fearne top from MichaMi, the new Joanna hair from Truth and my comfy petankos from Zero Number.  I’m lounging on the Model Chair by Glitterati. Oh, and both photos were taken with the FilterCam HUD by MechanizedLife…just shoot and crop and tada! Instant framed photo!

Milla Michinaga moved her MichaMi mainstore to the Glitter sim a couple of weeks ago, and with the move, released some new separates. The Pia is a pair of cut-out leggings, and Maisie features a sweater and leggings with a subtle, tone-on-tone pattern that can be worn casually or dressed up, together or separate. Both Pia and Maisie are available in a range of colors.

I’ve been wearing this particular look for almost a week now and I loved it so much, I had to use the image to update my Plurk page. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The thing I love best about MichaMi’s clothes is how well they mix and match into my entire wardrobe. Milla creates everything on all possible layers, so it is a snap to mash her styles with just about anything! Or wear them all on their own. Milla has impeccable taste, and her talent and style really shine through with each new design.

Now go! Rush over and buy everything she’s ever made. You won’t regret it!
