Mr. X and Volupta and Alisha... Fellini Couture & October 4 Seasons

The cloisters...at dusk -- Mr. X always sees her pacing as the sun sheds golden light illuminating her... She is often alone. He wonders who she is waiting for.

Today she is wearing the most elegant gown that is simply arresting, uncommon -- her favorite combination, Mr. X concludes. He imagines she runs her affairs effortlessly, takes people to places that are unmappable and talks passionately about ideas, not people. She is his kind of woman.

A  beautiful woman in a new release by Joy Fellini called Volupta this 100% fancy crepe georgette silk gown has a lush floral pattern punctuated by a flower embellished waistline and tulle ballerina skirt that sweeps and sways in the breeze... a sight that  is truly unforgettable.

The gown is perfectly balanced with  a floral sleeve on one shoulder and the headpiece that is reminiscent of a beautiful butterfly.  And, yes, she is elusive and alluring like a dream deep in the heart of  Mr. X.  She remains an amazing symbol of metamorphosis.

As for the skin, it is a new exclusive at MOR by October 4 Seasons called Alisha. This blossom skin is gorgeous and comes with four types of make-up plus a natural option, cleavage tattoos and slink, maitreya and Omega appliers.

Miss Poland and Mr. X -Wicca Merlin's New Release

Poland, home of Wieliczka, the famous salt caves associated with Princess Kinga, patron saint of this historic site that has 4 cathedrals carved from salt and chandeliers that glisten like diamonds... a girl's best friend, so I have been told.  Mr. X promises to take me to Wielickza -- he always tells me I need to learn to relax!  To get in the mood, Mr. X bought me the most delicious gown that has just been released and is now available at Wicca's Wardrobe.

This gown is fit for a queen and was actually worn by Miss SL Poland. The colors are Poland's national colors - red and white whose origins go back to the Piast dynasty and related to the white eagle on a red field.  The elegant fan back of this dress makes it distinctive and perfect for any formal event where you want every eye on you in the room.

I love the delicate almost oriental feel to this dress with its sexy corset top embellished with flowers and its lavish swirling floral like patterns in black that float on this gown like wind rippling on the still waters of a pond.  I have paired it with  Wicca's artistically made Abigail Hat with its daring red flower and the dark desire collar.

Mr. X & Chiffon, Almond & Ghee & New Gift Skin October 4 Seasons

If there was ever a cake to have a rag to riches story, a Marilyn Monroe type Hollywood discovery it is the chiffon cake, a light cake with a delicate crumb that resembles an angel food cake but is richer. Created in 1927 by Harry Baker, a "hobby chef" this cake whose secret ingredients he kept to himself for decades rose faster than the stardom of Lana Turner. After trying 400 recipes to improve on the angel cake, he used vegetable oil rather than butter or shortening in his recipe and the chiffon cake was born.  It  was sought by the high rollers of Hollywood and beyond.

Mr. X and I may not be high rollers but in this new chiffon colored gown by ghee called Ophelia, I feel like a starlet.  In addition to chiffon, Ophelia comes in dove, almond and moss.  Matching fringe top or strappy heels are sold separately and are a must have.
I feel light and airy in Ophelia "chiffon" with it's sexy bodice and lace trimmed bra top. In this outfit  --- you just dress the part -- think Lana and make a grand entrance, you will be noticed.

Another find in chiffon is this classic A-line dress in a muted floral pattern. I love the delicate side seams that add a touch of sophistication -- this is an iconic look that has been turning heads for years.

Speaking of turning heads, October 4 Season Skins has just released the June Skin  Gift called Summer Beach.   I love the soft golden summer glow of this lightly freckled skin (Mr. X loves those) with its soft sunkissed lips and evocative eyes.  So if you are not a member... this is definitely the month to become one. The skin comes loaded with appropriate appliers.

There is an evocative celtic inspired  low belly tattoo and a long tattoo down the back... that is pure summer fun...Mr. X I can hear the tropics calling.....

Mr. X -- Let Me See! New Finds @ Sneak Peek! Opens May 25

I told Mr. X that sometimes glamour comes in small packages like this new summer halter dress called "Let Me See" by ArisAris that is an exclusive at the May Sneak Peek.  It is perfect to beat the heat in !

I feel the rhythm of ancient lands in this colorful, raw edge patchwork mixture of patterns that is lively and festive making it the  perfect choice for summer fun. Let Me See is sexy in the front with it's low cut V neck and equally sexy from behind with a very low cut back perfect to show off a tattoo.

This breezy halter dress also comes with colorful beaded sandals that are made for slink flat feet.  Woven fabric, bows and beading add a globetrotting sensibility to these adorable sandals.  

I have also combined this with two more finds from Sneak Peek.  I am loving this two toned hair called Miss T-2 Must Haves that comes with a handy hud making it easy to change the color of your hair.  I am also wearing a fabulous filigree necklace by Kunglers Extra called Amala necklace that is punctuated with gorgeous pearls making it as versatile as it is beautiful.

The Scent of Cinnamon - *NEW* G Dubs and October 4 Seasons Rehana Pearl Auburn

Mr. X said, cinnamon --  strong and  spicy --smooth and sweet and me... I walk into Per Se wearing the new dress called Lovetta Cinnamon Harmony by G-Dubs.  I know he wants an answer.  The stakes are high -- and so is the slit up my leg in this smashing gown that also has a plunging neckline and a fanciful striped pattern that encircles me.

The timeframe ended yesterday. I'm just off a plane from Istanbul. The restaurant is empty, just one impeccably dressed man, Mr. X.  Could he have bought out the restaurant for the entire night for this red headed vixen?

Hello Mr. X. In battle, no matter the time or place, you sometimes have to make decisions on incomplete data. Fog is expected. Prepare. Wear something that helps you communicate.... Mr. X-- I will never pass up your gracious offer........

October 4 Seasons has just released the perfect skin for redheaded sirens -- called Rehana Pearl Auburn -- it is exotic in an innocent sort of way, you will smolder when you wear this skin, and so will he. Rehana comes  with 5 different make -ups including a pixie tattoo and the sexiest red eyebrows ever.  This skin knocks them out at a mere glance, I like that!  This skin is at The Makeover Room; a monthly skin & makeup event featuring exclusive items at discounted prices from designers all over the grid. The event runs from the 1st - 26th of each month.

Rayne @ Sneak Peek and other goodies... including Mr. X

Mr. X amazes me...somehow he is always on top of all the SL fashion trends...I just don't know what I would do without him!  Here is the "skinny"....He just told me that Holy Shirt has rebranded itself and is now offering a more couture line calling itself Rayne.

This is good news because in my book there is nothing more fun to wear when whimsical and couture meet. Take the cute mini dress offered as a *Group Gift* by Rayne called Roses.  This high waisted dress with its cute leather belt and deep scoop neckline has a soft fluid shape and an eye catching texture. It even comes with a flower for your hair.

At Sneak Peek, slip into a "floral" state of mind in Daisey, a new cocktail dress by Rayne.  I love the details in this dress with its cute flower belt at the waist line that emphasises he cascading ruffled skirt. The built in accessories makes this dress the one you want.

Daisey comes in several colors, pink, peach, blue, and the Sneak Peek exclusive teal and lilac -- I can't think of a better combination to welcome spring in!

A new release by Rayne is called Slogan, and I betting that it is a "comment" on the newly released movie - 50 Shades of Grey...

I love the sleek lines of this simple black dress that puts my curves in paradise-- Mr. X likes that...as for the name of the dress.... yes, there are two clever slogans to choose from.

Mr. X it is true that you will never own "me"... but, my heart, well... that is a different story altogether.

Stepping out with Mr. X - *New* Palazzo Gown by Jumo

A palazzo especially in Italy connotates an imperial building that was a symbol of Renaissance architecture. Jumo's new gown aptly called Palazzo exemplifies elegant beauty and graceful contours.

The detail in Palazzo makes it an instant classic with its ombre tones that illuminate this gown from every angle.  The realistic folds in the silk and the fur stole make it ideal for a special affair.

 Palazzo is simply stunning with its lavish beaded design that swirls and spirals down the front of this gown adding a touch of 30's glamour. Wear it with or without the stole, the choice is yours.

Palazzo  comes in several unusual colors (I got the fatpack it was too hard to choose just one gown) and has matching shoes, a gold and diamond necklace,  drop earrings and rings.

If all those add ons wasn't enough, this gown also has a hand hud --- Mr. X loves when I beckon him this way... and oh yes, I do.......

Mr. X and Shazz -- New gown - Sascha Designs

Envy in SL is a funny thing, we think the root of envy is moral indignation, which permits envy to be acted out under the guise of virtue and self righteousness.   There is good envy and bad envy, but whatever the case may be, Sascha's new gown called Shazz will make everyone envious of your style prowess!

Shazz is glorious with a sweeping floral silk brocade ballroom skirt made that flows and sways in the moonlight -- sure to cast admiring eyes and whispers that say.... that gown is simply enchanting and so are you.

I love the plunging neckline of this gown with it's artful corsage and veils.  The dress comes in magenta, pink, red, blue, and purple.

As Mr. X and I sway in the moonlight... he catches my tears on his shoulder --- pulling me  closer to him, he whispers,  "Sita, envy flourishes in those that are empty inside.  Invidia, Latin for envy, translates as non-sight.  If envy were a tangible shape, my darling, it would be a boomerang."  Well, he is an  Aussie, so we let him have the boomerang metaphor!

In the meantime, Mr. X holds me in this fabulous gown called Shazz by Sascha Designs.
