Artizana and Tantalum @ The 24 2015

I told Mr. X that the long awaited popular 24 Event 2015 will be starting in a few days... Sept. 11 to be exact and I can't wait!  There are so many top designers participating and offering exclusive buys...like this gorgeous casually chic outfit by Artizana called Li.

A signature aspect of the Li Collection is that colors seem to take flight in the rich shades blues, pinks and greens of the colorful and lively texture of this long sweater coat that reminds me of stained glass. I have paired this with a diamond necklace in gold by Tantalum called Siren gold another exclusive at The 24.

Add tailored contrasting pants and a classic silk blouse and head for the city.  I feel like I am ready to tour a great museum and afterward dream away the hours in a small cafe indulging in scones and clotted creme while listening to jazz piano.  Mr. X thinks this is a great plan...so do I !

Mr. X and Edith - Wicca's Wardrobe at Fad through Sept. 26

It is so much fun to shop at FAD -- especially if you like vintage styles. The designers participating have interpreted a wide range of styles from the 30s - the 50s... and oh what fun it is to style them... I fell in love with the new outfit by Wicca's Wardrobe that consists of the Edith Dress, Emilia Hat and Chayeene heels.


I love the layers of this skirt with it's sexy slip like layers and the gorgeous zipper up the front that is set off by the wide belt at the waist.  In the 40's ( like today) women liked to accentuate their tiny waists and used wide belts to do it. Shorter skits were all the rage in the 40's and legs were in... think Betty Grable! Edith sets the tone perfectly.


A proper vintage look always has a hat!  The Emilia Hat is a beautiful handcrafted original mesh piece made by Wicca's Wardrobe. It has an inbuilt RESIZER, which you can activate via touch and resize the hat making it easy to fit any hairstyle you may choose. The Chayenne heels are a matching pump with a high leather embellishment that is held together by two buckles.  These fab shows add a contemporary dash to the vintage look and are made for slink high feet.

So Mr. X... I am in the mood... to jitterbug in is this flirty dress... I will be waiting for you at the punch bowl... (as usual) and your glass is waiting for you and it's ooops--- getting warm.... just like you will be when you see the hot little me in this fabulous dress..... and the night, yes, looks at watch is young.....

Color me beautiful with Abundance with ghee and Mr. X

Ghee has just released two fabulous outfits the pre-fall event called Color Me Project.  The first outfit is simply called Ghee Abundance, Mr. X likes the sound of that. The other outfit not shown is a great fitted mesh coat in the same colors with magnificent applique work.


This is a stunning ensemble with a short sleeve crop top that is unusual and eye catching because this top is cleverly cropped at an angle. The top's colorful pattern is continued down the skirt adding the signature ghee flair that makes this design as eye catching as it is beautiful.

The long maxi skirt is evocative because it is worn low on the hip giving it plenty of sex appeal!  The shades that this outfit comes in are just delicious... aubergine, orchid and artichoke...

Stop the press - Sonatta Morales - Liebe -New Release

Mr. X has congratulated me on reaching over 100,000 blog hits... to my readers, I thank you.... so it seems only "fitting" that this blog features one of my all time favorite designers on the grid (yes, there are many... Violator, Eshi, October, Danielle, Wicca, Resun, Ghee, Fellini, Sascha, Muse, TWA, Jumo, Rayne  way to many to mention and they have been beyond supportive of me and many others too) --- but Sonatta Morales is the QUEEN of Vintage... and I love every single dress she creates.  I know for a fact, she takes a lot of time and research to create her fabulous dresses...


This dress is heavy silk with luxe beading and embroidery that way beyond  glamorous and dreamy and definitely after 5  --- Mr. X likes way beyond 5 and a few cocktails.... gin and tonic please with a twist..This dress by Sonatta is a perfect and iconic cocktail dress that has a sexy -- oh my god - look at me.... sheer slip and  gloves.......the gloves even have poses.... the dress is called Liebe.  Mr. X loved the slip layer.... he just want to.... ahhhhhh shhhhhhhh


Like  Sonatta  Morales, an Icon in SL's Fashion World... Liebe is sexy and  feminine and it was made to remind women that they were women after WWII.  After all, no matter what year.... as Sonatta has always  told me...  fashion -- great fashion is timeless. So, Mr. X... come upstairs................ and FYI never miss Sonatta's show at Berlin... it is amazing every Saturday at 2 sl time.

Mr X @ at a Sock Hop? Yes! at FAD

Everyone that really knows me.... knows I love --- vintage -- so I was delighted that  FAD chose "vintage" --- in general -- as their theme --- I suppose, it depends on what "era" you are from... but as Mr. X says... style is timeless.  And,  LM's exclusive for FAD called Vivianne is well... amazing! My sister Lulu knows this well.


 Wearing Viviane by LM, I can an almost hear  Elvis while dreaming about making out in the back seat of a  1954 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Starfire with leather seats and  white wheel tires.... oh la la... maybe Mr. X and I will rock around the clock..... to doo opp! After all,   Sock hops were held  as early as 1944 by the American Red Cross to raise funds for WWII.



OK , I like ... this slink Corvette.. like .... Viviane by LM that comes in   burgundy, old rose,  papaya, sorrel and  zinnwaldite.... all  are  fab and perfect  fun for a sock  hop --- and if  you  have  a love of  poodles... and  all things vintage... this flirty dress is a must have at FAD!

Provocative Pearl and Mr. X -- Lennie @ Sneak Peek

Stop... a moment of breathless silence flashes across the room.  Mr. X watches me saunter in. He looks me up and down, glancing around me, front and back, inspecting... finally, a brief smile with an appreciative nod.


"A chilled Ladoucette, please."  Mr. X is only to happy to oblige.  He tells me I look stunning in the new dress by Lennie called Deborah Provocative Pearls that is an exclusive at Sneak Peek.  The  bold geometric sequins with it's sensational pattern and the bold stripe down the middle gives this hip dress maximum impact.  Best of all you can change the color of the stripe and hemline with a handy hud that offers a palette of colors from creme to red, teal to black and orange. 


I paired Deborah Provocative Pearls with a new jewelry set by Glint called Centerstones.  This set comes with a necklace, earrings and two bracelets and is offered in many colors. I couldn't resist wearing the new skin by October 4 Seasons called Zulay Walnut with it's rich chocolate tones and dramatic eyeshadow and lipstick. This skin comes with 6 make-ups plus a natural look, a cleavage tattoo and all appliers

Maya and Mr. X- Sascha Designs @ The Instruments thru Sept. 6

Mr. X is waiting for me on the veranda, enjoying raki and meze, when I breeze into the sunlight wearing this skin tight colorful halter dress that is an exclusive by Sascha Designs at the Instruments... it is as beautiful as the color of the sea and sky.... and Mr. X thought.... I looked exquisite.


I love the multi color flora and fauna of this mini that was definitely designed for attention.  I decide to tone it down a bit  with passion pink.... as I make my way to a  tiny hotel that  sits right on Bosphorus Strait, a 19th-century distillery renovated into a twenty-room enclave.  A secret to most, I thought.  I like the idea of a pirate's lair and Mr. X... especially .....wearing this.


Sascha's  dress called Maya... comes with a vibrant color changing hud that  offers five pantone colors... I am showing my three favorites although the lemon yellow and red are totally gorgeous and.... beguiling.


Tonight I think  I will  tell Mr. X about the greatest pirate ever, a woman, Hsi Kai, who commanded 50,000 pirates in the early 1800s (U.S. only had 5,000). Hsi Kai eventually agreed to a truce with the entire world all at once (because they just couldn’t beat her).  Let's see what he thinks about that.

Mr. X - Back to School @ Sneak Peek Luxe Paris Exclusive

Mr. X and I talked about the end of summer ritual of getting ready to go back to school... there is always a sense of excitement in the air with the anticipation of what academic challenges lie ahead.
School Girl at Sneak Peek Luxe Paris

We wandered around Sneak Peek and found the cutest jumper created by Luxe Paris called Marie Jeanne Jumper with it's cute pockets, scoop neckline and argyle pattern in turquoise and mauve. The argyle pattern is derived from the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyle Scotland.

Another jumper by Luxe Paris offered at Sneak Peak is called Metric with a bold abstract print perfectly accented in grey.

The final jumper offered by Luxe Paris at Sneak Peak is  Paris School Girl in  a soft yellow and grey argyle with it's traditional pattern made of diamonds or lozenges that add a sense of three-dimensionality, movement and texture.

Mirrors and Mr. X - Virtual Diva Couture @ Sneak Peek

Marie Antoinette had everything.Her father was emperor. Her husband was king. She was queen. But... there is always a but... which means, forget everything I just said......
But Versailles suffocated her. She hated the acres of ormolu, miles of mirrors, armies of flatterers. She yearned for something else; she yearned for innocence...with a saucy side... of wow !! Just  like this new exclusive by Virtual Diva Couture called Mirrors at Sneak Peek.  
 I love  the  layer upon layer of tulle of this bell shaped skirt that is sheer and innocent... like a lovely ballerina stepping on her toes for the first time.  It is the perfect "cupcake" shape associated with the Lolita look.

The fine tailoring of the top with  it's  collar neckline, the criss cross  halter top and the remarkable hat embellished with lavish flowers evokes a Gothic Lolita neo Victorian look....a clothing  style marked by conspicuously dark, mysterious.... and yes, even antiquated features..doll like features.
So Mr. X since this look harkens back to the 19th century, I am on my best behavior... speaking politely...and crisply.... no slang, I promise and seeing through less jaded eyes.  So, my dear, Mr. X shall we promanade?

Mr. X and Judith @ The Instruments - * New * Wicca's Wardrobe

Mr. X told me to celebrate the onset of autumn I should wear the new dress called Judith and headpiece called Jude by Wicca's Wardrobe that are exclusives at The Instruments. It is a wild -luxe mix straight out of the warm colors of the New England autumn woods primed for the fashion eccentric in all of us.


Judith is for the woman who wants to wear it all... short mini and a long trailing train of glistening autumn leaves. It makes me want to march through the golden carpet of the season! I have paired Wicca's Wardrobe's new gladiator  heels called Laureen Heels with their striking gold accent buckles that are exclusives at The Instruments. I love these heels because they can be worn with so many things on the grid.
The headpiece that comes that matches Judith is called Jude, also an exclusive at The Instruments. Jude is as creative as it is beautiful with it's accent of yellow leaves, gold leather and roses the color of marsala wine --- 

And, then there is the neckpiece that is like mother earth has come alive and is celebrating the colors of autumn.... making me feel like the woodland nymph Arethusa -- a nubile maiden that loves the streams deep in the heart of the forest...Mr. X will find me waiting there for him.
