The Fab Four Exclusives by Lybra Rage at Fiera Spring Fair....

Vanilla is sometimes used metaphorically for "blandness" in a cultural sense.  But, the spice vanilla is far from bland...it has a rich history and flavor...Mr. X & I love vanilla -- the color and the the spice.

This morning,  Mr. X left me the most delicious gown called Beauty by Lybra in rich vanilla tones. Beauty, appropriately named is elegant and sleek with a corset styled bodice that is alluring as vanilla ice cream!

Beauty's fitted lines show off every curve and the bottom of this dress billows out in the mermaid style.  If you want to look simply elegant, Beauty is for you.

What can I say about Lybra's dress called Malificent...except that it is magnificent and makes me want to "take flight".

Elaborate feathers that are all the rage on RL runways form a graceful frame for this sexy gown that is perfectly textured in midnight silk velvet.

The plunging neckline is provocative ..in a very good way...just ask Mr. X...and is irresistable for eyes that "wander."   Get this exclusively at Fiera Spring Fair through March 31... you won't regret it!

Another gem...Ghost is a white tiger inspired gown with striking black and white overlapping asymmetric stripes accented with red silk.

Flatteringly, femininely form fitting Ghost's graceful hemline wafts on the spring breeze...and you can be sure every eye in the room will be on you!

The  dash of red silk on the sleek bodice and the gorgeous ruffled red silk gloves... complete this look with  contrasting elegance that never goes out of style.

Tigress located in Tiger Alley is Lybra's newest release. Drawn to the unusual?  Touches of design eccentricity set this gown apart with its' amazing black and white asymmetric tiger inspired
stripes that will make the men go wild!

The print is perfectly accented with a wide black satin belt at the waist that shows off all your curves.  This sleek gown flairs at the bottom in the finest netting and chiffon and is embellished with grey ribbons that rustle in the breeze.... you will feel like an enchantress concealed in stripes and satin.

MVW Spain new release by © Champagne! Sparkling Couture

The colors of Spain...lapis lazuli, apple jade  and gold...  embellish this beautiful gown called Origin that was worn by MVW 2014 Spain designed by Sparkling Champagne.  Layer upon layer of blue chiffon with an intricate green and gold pattern floats effortlessly with each movement.  

At dusk, the sun bathes the landscape in gold...accentuating the gorgeous jewels that crown this dress... grand peacock feathers, golden wings and a wide belt  set with lapis lazuli and jade.

Mr. X tells me this lavish dress with it's asymmetrical hemline and flowers that seductively wrap around legs and arms was created to entice!

The moorish styled necklace and gorgeous turban embellished with gold chains is set off by jade and lapis lazuli flowers and crowned with a peacock feather that adds an air of mystique. I have paired this dress with Beatrix Skin in Tan by Morphine...for group members there is a 40% off sale through March 9.

I can feel the orange blossom scented breeze...swirl through the Moorish magnificence of Alhambra... with its' intricate patterned ceramic tiles, filigree windows and scalloped stucco...I wait for Mr. X ...in the golden twilight.

Dress for Less - Colors of Spring & Styles By Danielle, NSP, Zuri and... Mr. X

Livia in Blue by Styles by Danielle is a light and breezy floral print shift that is elegant in its' simplicity and perfect for spring. This is the new March Group Gift by Styles by Danielle.  I have paired Livia with sandals by Delinda Abbot of Lindy Modern and Retro Shoes called  Lindy Sandye in Ochre that are an exclusive at MC Fashion Event Colors of Spring through March 12.

Another option from Styles By Danielle is Lorena White, an elegant gown with a deep slit up the side that is embellished with delightful bows. This dress is part of the MegaStuff Hunt that runs from March 1-31.  I have paired this gown with Flower Red Sandals created by Siria87 Galicia of  Siria's  Fashion Room and Design and are exclusive to MC Fashion Colors of Spring Fashion Event with items from 30 to 100 L. 

Sleek and chic, with a bold floral print, the Dark Tribal Bow Gown is an exclusive offer at Colors of Spring by DarkUnicorN resident of  *Uni-qu3 fashion. In soft earth tones of silver, black and tan, the long lines and sweeping hemline of this gown is all wrapped up in a big flowing bow in the back. I have paired this look with Zuri Rayna's Antique Full Set choker, earrings and diadem & bracelet in citrine and olive. Mr. X and I are ready to dance the night away... 

Mr. X has been in a casual mood lately... as spring is around the corner. Norena Soir of NSP Designs brings 15 years of RL floral experience to her designs in SL.  The flirty Josephine Halter Dress with luscious lily attachments is perfect for a spring time ramble through the daffodils... and Mr. X and I love to stroll hand in hand.   This dress is part of the Womenstuff Hunt and the cloche  hat with a retro 1920's feel  is is February's Group Gift that is still out in NSP's Main Store. 

 If you are feeling casually chic, try this cute mesh dress called Boho Country Dress created by Winter Gravois, owner of WinTeRwooD Designs that is an exclusive design at a promo price at the Colors of Spring Event organized by MC Fashion.  I love the pink plaid top with baby blue laces and the skirt of blue and white wildflowers that seem stirred by the breeze as they ripple down the front of this summertime  frock.

Lushish Catz Women's Clothing designed by Kayshia Aristocrat is offering a soft feminine sundress, called Lee for a mere 50L.  The sea green top is embellished with a beautifully embroidered deer and the lace like skirt flows alluringly. This is an exclusive deal not to  be missed at Colors of Spring now through March 12. I have matched this with the diamond tennis necklace from Zuri for a touch of elegance. 

A smoking hot item that is an Exclusive Gift  offered is by Lushish Catz Women's Clothing  is the LushishCatz Eternal Pink Dress... what more can I say.... Mr. X -- his jaw drops.... Wow what a treat! 

Mr. X loves hats... and NSP's Floral's hat, called Neo-Ploom  has detail galore with lace, flowers and feathers... it is chic and elegant... adding a dramatic flair to any outfit. If you want this hat, you can find it at the Rose Princess Hunt.  I have paired this hat with Zed Sensations new release (more on this soon) called Animal Instinct... and it is wildly good!

With so many lovely items to wear, I think I shall let Mr. X choose whatever his fancy is... from 

elegant chic to boho charm.... I know you will be tempted to try them all -- sometimes it is fun to dress for less... and make it work!

Mr. X and Power Flowers – Delice – New Release by Violator

Mr. X is anticipating spring… so is Violator with the new release called Delice made of heavy royal blue silk brocade with a hint of lavender shot through with silver thread flowers that are just dazzling.

On the runways from Paris to London, Milan to New York there were more floral prints than in an Impressionist garden… but not the delicate buds of Monet at Giverny.  Big bold floral prints are all the rage and Delice by Violator captures this trend eloquently.

The jacket of this outfit is emblazoned with big bold chrysanthemum flowers giving the texture an Asian twist.  The hat adds a dramatic flair to this look and is pure sculpture.

The cinched waist, wide belt and intricate shoulder pads give a nod to 1940s chic glamour while the sleek textured mini skirt is totally 60s mod.  Delice cleverly combines looks from different eras in a way that is smart and sophisticated and definitely not your common garden-variety design.

If you take off the chest ruffles, shoulder pads and skirt ruffles, you are left with a slimmed down sexy version of this outfit that holds its’ own.  As part of the Prêt-à-porter Line, Delice comes in black and silver, black and gold, red and gold and blue and silver.  There is an art to dressing well and you cannot miss out with this fantastic and versatile style.

I am wearing a new skin by Morphine -- it is fresh and dramatic with perfect shading and perfectly shaped lips.  I had the opportunity to interview the creator of this fine line of skins for an upcoming issue of Moolto.com.
