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. ✨

Call me Kate @ SWANK WITH GGVG

The lobby breathes in slow, deliberate rhythms—light pooling across marble like liquid gold, every reflection a quiet promise. The chrome catches just enough glow to shimmer, never shout. Somewhere deeper inside, a saxophone leans into its melody, low and knowing, like it’s telling a story meant only for those who linger. I’m dressed for that kind of story wearing GGVG called Kate with a wraparound waist, lace and sultry silk skirt.  Kate is made for larax, legacy, reborn, waifu,  belleza/freya, bombshell, and legacy perky. It also comes with a devine hud of 15 patterns for the top and six fab matching colors for the long silk skirt.

A whisper of lace and silk—my midriff brushed with the softness of fine Belgian silk, the delicate patterns tracing their way along my curves as if they were always meant to find me. The lace gathers at my hips, holding for just a moment before giving way to the long, fluid fall of a silk skirt that moves like a secret with every step. It isn’t just beautiful—it feels intentional. Like I chose this night as much as it chose me.

Time stretches here. Each passing second deepens the mood, wraps it tighter in that golden, summer hush where anything might begin. I hear you before I see you—the faint cadence of footsteps threading themselves into the saxophone’s slow confession. And I don’t rush to turn. Because this—this quiet pull, this almost-meeting—is part of it.

The Dream... begins with....

 The dream always begins with music. Not loud, not demanding—just a slow, shimmering pulse rising from somewhere unseen. The delicate chime of gamelan drifts through the air, each note suspended like gold dust in the heat. Then comes the scent. Jasmine. Thick and sweet, clinging to the night like a secret. It curls around me, soft and intoxicating, blending with warm earth and ocean air. 

I love wearing this new  outfit by Wild called Carlotta  because it slips into the dream as naturally as the jasmine.  The fabric draped just enough to feel effortless, yet impossibly intentional. The asymmetrical skirt catches the breeze, moving like water, like rhythm, like the music itself has found form. It feels alive on my skin. It comes with a massive color changing hud that features  tropical solid colors and fabulous patterns... I loved the big bold polka dots... because they remind me of  tropical fruit.  Don't you... and the buckles and  detail it is just  ---  sweet... and sassy... and Mr. X likes that.... as I recall...

I combined Carlotta by Wild with Nails by Nail  Bliss called Clelia in Almond and the fabulous eye shadow by Slack Girl called Ambra -- it so sexy with just the right cat eye look to look sultry in the tropics it is made for EVO and has a six luscious looks.  And then, as it always does, the dream gives me him.
