Mr. X and the Skull & Crossbones femme couture @ Sneak Peek

Most people associate the skull and cross bones symbol with pirate lore and there is an interesting historical reason for this.  This symbol, its use and meanings  has a deeper origin with the Templars who had the largest fleet in the 13th century.  This  symbol was used on flags by the knights on their ships.  They were warriors and perhaps the first pirates of the middle ages.

Mr. X likes the esoteric lore and fascinating history of the Templars.  He told me that the skull and cross bones were used on Masonic graves and engraved on the hilts of ceremonial swords and embroidered on aprons or sashes worn by Master Masons.

With this symbol in mind, I was delighted to find a long asymmetrical flowing skirt with its pattern of skull and crossbones and the flowing white tunic top by femme couture as an exclusive at Sneak Peek.  I told Mr. X that the night is young and that I am ready to learn more about the rituals of initiation into the mysteries of the Templars....

Smesh @ Sneak Peek Exclusive & New Release

It's early summer, just after dusk.  Mr. X suggests cocktails at sunset.  We are enjoying a slow, warm Balinese breeze oozing off the Flores Sea whose turquoise waters beguile like the new cocktail dress by Smesh.

This flirty summer frock comes in perfect pastel colors of pink, blue and yellow with matching sandals for high slink feet.  Mr. X and I are savoring how little has changed in the last 10 years, here in the south seas, me, him and even the way the plantation chairs creak.

I know it was different back then, but wearing this classic cocktail dress... I know that summer magic has arrived.

Smesh is also featuring a new and mod mini dress at Sneak Peak with a asymmetrical hemline, and a  belt that defines your  waist and adds the perfect touch to this look.

Sneak Peek Exclusive 

This mini comes in pink, beige and sky in a sexy lace texture that adds a dash of daintiness.  Matching mules  for high slink feet that are finely crafted with stylish cutouts are also included and complete this playful summer look.

Jumo at June Sneak Peek & New Skin October 4Seasons

Mr. X told me to be on high alert... Sneak Peek is back for the month of June in a new location with so many fabulous designers that are offering exclusives to those in the know before they hit the mainstream grid.  Check out this gorgeous new gown by Jumo called Tropical that comes in a rainbow of colors.

Tropical also comes with two cuff bracelets, a gorgeous cameo pendant, earrings and gold sandals.  I am wearing the new skin by October 4 Seasons called Zulay in Walnut # 5 with this gown.

I love the opulent flowers and and the flowing skirt and relaxed top of this gown that comes in red, violet, pink and yellow.  There is a languid sensuality about the tropics... I dream of Tobago and Mr. X and learning to dance the calypso. Spending days exploring the islands blissful bays... I can hear the beat of the steel band .... on the soft summer breeze...

Zulay is as exotic as its' name and features bold makeups that run the gamut from hot to bold to stunning. Zulay is located in the newly opened Spring Season of October's main store.

 Zulay  comes with two eyebrow colors and a brand new trim. In addition the packing contains  5 makeup options in two brow colors, and 6 natural face options.  I have paired Zulay Walnut # 2 make-up with the Tropical Yellow gown by Jumo.  And below, I am wearing Jumo in Violet with Zulay #1 make-up.
