Desdemona @ Swank

Around the world continues at Swank, and this fabulous look—called Desdemona by Curious Kitty—takes me somewhere darkly romantic: Romania, reimagined through a gothic lens. I picture ancient forests blanketed in fog, jagged Carpathian peaks rising in the distance, and mysterious castles silhouetted against a stormy sky. The long leather coat with its stylish leather insets, silver buckles and straps offers dramatic protection from the cold while delivering exactly the right amount of stylish menace. Paired with sleek black slacks and high-heeled boots, the look is equal parts polished, powerful, and delightfully intimidating. This look also comes with a cute silver heart choker that adds to the goth glam.

I paired  Desdemona with new EVOX eyeshadow by Slack Girl called Ellen that comes in 8 glorious metallic shades that make this look perfect for moonlit explorations, shadowed corridors, and stories whispered among the pines—where legends of vampires, ghosts, and shape-shifters feel almost believable. Desdemona transforms a walk through the unknown into a gothic adventure.

Around the World @ SWANK Wearing SKBW

The invitation said Swank: Around the World Sales Event, but I didn’t realize I’d be traveling quite so far. It started with a single dress—SKBW’s irresistibly cute keyhole silhouette, swaying lightly as if it already knew every destination it would take me to. Nine motifs, each one a passport stamp waiting to happen. 

I slipped into Egypt first—where pyramids rose in sun-warmed patterns, timeless and steady. Then came Graffiti, bold and electric, echoing the rush of city nights and urban glam. India wrapped me in a dream of purple and pink mandalas, intricate and radiant, like celebration stitched into fabric. Jade softened everything—quiet, dewy, like summer meadows just waking at dawn. 

In Mexico, I found joy—bright florals dancing with every step. Nigeria followed, vivid and powerful, a pattern that felt alive with rhythm and story. Then I wandered through New York and Paris, where iconic details whispered of skyline silhouettes and café-lined streets, effortless and chic. But it was Pagoda that stopped me. Stupas at sunset, glowing gently—as if the whole world had exhaled into that one perfect moment. It wasn’t just a print; it was a feeling. And just like that, I was traveling.  And p.s. headed to Iceland....

I paired this look with lipstick by White Queen called Juicy #0715 that are made for LEL EVO X. This package comes with 10 shades in red, pink and magenta shades.

Sascha's Designs -- Water Color Dream.....Lori

 The sanctuary breathed in quiet intervals—incense curling like whispered questions, bells lingering in the air even after silence reclaimed them. The gown—Sascha’s design—moved differently than fabric should. It didn’t drape; it bled. Petals of color spread across it as though painted moments ago and still deciding what they were becoming. A wash of indigo leaned into dusk-rose, then vanished into the suggestion of gold. When the rain touched it, the colors deepened, like memories soaked back into clarity.

And, yes, in my dreams.... there he is my mystery Zen....... as I wear  Sascha's new watercolor dream.... wearing Lori by SAS made for legacy, maitreya, reborn and larax. It comes with a fab color changing hud that is perfect for water color dreams.....

Wild in the Rain... at Swank....

The rain started before I opened my eyes. It whispered against the window, slow and steady, like it had nowhere else to be. Outside, everything looked softer. Washed clean. The trees shimmered as if they’d just been painted, leaves glistening under the steady rhythm of rain. There was something soothing in it—something honest. Nature never rushes. It transforms. 

Today, I reached for something bold. Something alive. Carlotta made for larax, lara petite, reborn, and legacy by Wild that is an exclusive at Swank.   The bra-style midriff top hugged perfectly, centered by a gorgeous accent buckle that caught the soft morning light. It wasn’t just an outfit—it was a statement. Then came the magic. With a touch, the color-changing HUD opened up a world of possibilities—five fierce leopard and floral prints plus a spectrum of rich solids. I paused… then smiled. Orange.

Chasing Midnight - Axe @ Swank.....

Tonight I don't walk... I run with the shadows of the night... lost to the penumbra of the moon... Wearing a denim short skirt cut to defy the rules. A bandage-style leather top pulling tight like rebellion stitched into skin. Fishnets torn just enough to tell a story I’ll never fully explain... and fabulous shoes... that sets the tone.... right....?

At the moment  --- I am not looking for forever...just one electric moment of connection will be enough to surrender—just for a few hours—to the music, the chaos, the thrill of not knowing what happens next. And when the lights come up?  I'm already gone.

A Mid Summer Night's Dream... at Swank

 Tonight, I feel like a princess. Surrounded by crystal streams and castles with pearl-white walls, I’ve stepped into a realm where pixies mingle with silver dragons and golden stars illuminate the evening sky. It’s a land of ancient wonder—and I’m here to explore every shimmering corner of it. 

I’m wearing the Alexa gown by Flower Dreams, and it moves like pure magic through the summer forest. The flowing fabric catches the light with every step, while the deep slit reveals just enough to feel bold and enchanting. A single bare shoulder adds a touch of quiet elegance—fit for Tatitana herself, Queen of the Fairies. 

To complete the look, I’ve adorned myself with an opal set from Zuri: delicate drop earrings, a golden choker set with gleaming opals, and a breathtaking headpiece that reflects the colors of my eyes like captured stardust. As I wander, the river hums a soft lullaby… marigold fairies drift on the breeze… and magic lingers in every shadow and shimmer. All around me, wonder is waiting to be found. ✨
