Mr. X in the Teagarden... irriSIStible @ Swank

I await Mr, X in the garden... wearing a lovely new gown called Japan Sakura Soul by irriSIStible that is an exclusive at Swank.  This gorgeous Japanese styled gown is a lovely floral print and is made for mesh and classic bodies. I am wearing it with my Maitreya body and it fits perfectly. It also comes loaded with accessories!

Sakura comes with an elaborate floral head piece and two matching chest pieces that are just stunning. This kimono that literally translates as "things to wear" and there is even an elaborate black and gold obi or sash at the waistline. There is even a lovely umbrella to protect your fair skin from the sun. I love the use of textures and colors in this outfit with the cherry blossom pattern on the umbrella mirroring the flowers on the kimono as well as the flowers in my hair.

So Mr. X shall we wander amid the cherry blossom paths to the ancient grove of bamboo...let us stroll hand in hand through the elegant rock garden at Ryoanji as we make our way to the temple of the golden pavilion to have tea as we watch the sunrise.

Mr. X and “Prachtig.” Broquate by Sascha's Designs

1:53 a.m.   Amsterdam.  I am  for a Het Hok, a “brown” café (the browns are filled with smoke and mismatched chairs; the whites for being seen). Mr. X promised to play a game of chess with me. It is not easy navigating the alleyways of Amsterdam at night...especially when every eye is on me in this new outfit called Broquate by Sascha's Designs.

This outfit comes with a color changing hud for the jacket as well as with an omega appliers system for the sleek black pants and corset styled bodice for mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara.  Broquate can also be worn by classic bodies so you get the best of both worlds so to speak. The jacket comes in 5 various shades that render into a modern abstract pattern.

I move move my rook, as Mr. X's eyes stare into mine, challenging me.I feel up to the challenge in this new outfit by Sascha's Designs... “Checkmate,” I whisper in my best New Yawk accent! “Prachtig,” says the man behind me.

I wipe the court with a Master, swallow my beer, tuck my long hair into my jacket, and at 2 a.m. elegantly pedal off into the night.

Mr. X and the Lady Broch Tuarach --- Silvan Moon Designs & White Armoury

"I am enchanted beyond measure by your arrival.  I thought,  Mr. X  -- I did not expect to arrive in such weather and the lack  of hot water...... My dear, sweet lady-  you look as fresh as rain and the mist of the moors.... must I really say Broch Tuarach, or won't it do if I only say Lady Tuarach?" 

I could not believe his words to me....I remember when Mr. X said these words to me.... and I dream of Mr. X and the lavender ladened moors of Scotland... especially when wearing the new gown called Lady Broch  Tuarach Gown by !!SMD!!

Named for an old broch on the land, Broch Tuarach means "north-facing tower" in Gaelic. I love the look of this gown with its lovely tartan in heather, brook or hunter... each one has its own beauty... and comes with a matching sweater  legs and tops that are compatible with all mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara. This gown is also compatible with  regular mesh bodies and classic.

Broch Tuarach also comes with a lovely floral embroidered bodice that is like a  gorgeous medieval  tapestry.  It also has  a handy pouch... that adds to the look of this gown... it is a wee bit fetching... Mr. X told me that he was enchanted by me in this gown beyond measure...and said, yes, indeed, you are my  lady with the hint of a question... 

I remember as i gaze out amid the  moors the night Mr. X said to me, when I talk to you it is as if I was talking to my soul....  there is no question here... I am his Lady.....

Mr. X - Love me Tender... Prism & Luxe Paris @ Swank

Imagine a pre- New Years Eve Party at Graceland -- you know the home now museum of Elvis... what on earth would you wear.... I found two perfect cocktail dresses at Swank that fit the bill!  And, btw, I didn't realize Graceland (all decked out for Christmas) replete with an Elvis Tour was in SL... it is a fun place to visit for you Elvis fans!

The first dress is by Prism called Celebration Holiday Dress and Necklace by Journey and is made for mesh bodies.  I love the silver bra top and the cut of this cute sheath mini; it comes with a festive four fabric color changing hud in red, green, blue and black.  My favorite fabric of this holiday dress is the tasteful black fabric with silver ornaments --  to me this combo adds a touch of sophistication to the look.  Best of all, I love the silver scarf that is worn around the neck... it adds a bit of sparkle  and pulls the entire look together.  You are sure to get glances of admiration wherever you go.

Another find is the holiday dress by Luxe Paris called Halle -- it is simply elegant.  I love the way the bubble skirt drapes gracefully in the richest emerald green that is perfect for the season.  Halle is made for all mesh bodies from slink to belleza to the Lara, which I am wearing... Halle looks great from every angle.

I love this festive frock with its beautiful beaded bodice in green and silver holly leaves... I especially like the big bow that really makes this dress come alive.  The detail in the bow is amazing -- it is studded with beautiful clusters of sparkling diamonds... a girl's best friend!

I am wearing two more finds from Swank, the hair is by Letituier and is called Amy -- I loved the pulled back poofy retro ponytail look with Halle they match perfectly. Amy comes in a number of handy color changing huds, I am wearing Light Brown.  To add a bit more sparkle... I mean, this is the time of year for that, I am wearing the new Silver and Pearl necklace and earrings by Heartsdale Jewelry called Mangalsutra.  I love the gradation of the pearls and the simple disk at my throat.

Sweets for my Sweet Mr. X - IrrlSIStible @ Swank

The holidays are on us... and like some of you... I have been making my list and checking it twice...and oh yes indeed Mr. X is on it!   As a matter of fact, I have prepared a Sweet Holiday banquet for him to choose from....

Christmas Bakery Mesh Outfit and Dress is from IrrilSIStible... and it is just that.  This fun dress is a veritable buffet  replete with cupcakes, strawberry tarts, cookies, cream puffs, peppermint frosted donuts...candy canes... artfully placed on a beautiful revolving yes... a revolving table that even has little gifts and candles! This dress is so much fun to wear!

I love the fact that it also comes with a "sweet" hat of cupcakes, cookies and creme puffs, shoes with candy cane embellishments and a cute  cupcake holiday necklace.... the only thing missing is the delicious smell of these baked goods... but, I have have a good imagination!

Another festive find from IrrlSIStible is the Magic Christmas Gown -- a evergreen tree dress with gold lame bodice and all the holiday fixings - garland, bows, ornaments, lights... even a Christmas Tree hat and a mistletoe  corsage... everything to  turn Mr. Scrooge into Mr. X!

Mr. X and Delypop - New Jumo

Sometimes dreaming is good... a release of sorts... a time for the mind to wander randomly... a time for reflection... a time to explore a fabulously whimsical sim called Outer Garden... I really cannot wait to show Mr. X all its nooks and crannies. 

Delypop, a new couture gown by Jumo is a dream...it is a long sleek fitting silk gown made for mesh and classic bodies.  I love the couture waistline feature that gracefully feathers out on each side of the waistline complementing the mermaid skirt that flares out dramatically -- you will make a grand entrance wearing this  luxurious gown. The halter styled bodice is heavily jeweled in a lovely arabesque pattern that dazzles.



As with all of Jumo's gowns, Delypop comes loaded with the most beautiful jewelry. The large bejeweled cuff bracelet is something an empress would wear!   I love the great square earrings but most of all I love the head jewelry that reminds me of a classic Medieval jeweled hat a maid would wear...only this piece is absolutely opulent and adds immeasurably to the couture look of this gown.

Mr. X and the Ranger of Islavare Dress Set *New* Silvan Moon

I follow my faithful Ariel... the Sprite of the frozen forest... she knows the way... wandering amid magical unicorns... so pure and beautiful... through tall evergreens glazed with a majestic mantle of snow that remind me of queens wrapped in white fur wraps  --  the trees shadow azure pools of frozen water... we look for footprints.

We look for him in this snow covered land under the pale winter moon of December -- I  wonder if we shall find what we seek... the secret garden... suddenly my ears... hear the far off tinkling of bells... like a spring rainfall... oh how I long for spring...

On the hunt in this frozen landscape... remembering when we danced under the harvest moon... my head was full of rainbows then... from too much pixie dust... the mist of fairy matter...

I cannot think of a better outfit to hunt in than this gorgeous tunic made of rich emerald velvet and edged with olive silk ruffles at the hem and embellished by the finest leather edging and rich gold brocade embroidery at each sleeve and at my neckline.  My cloak made of  the finest velvet is lined with ermine to keep me warm...it can be taken on or off.  The Ranger of Islavare Dress Set is made for classic and all mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara with it.  Ah, here is the gate to the garden...shall I enter ?

Mr. X and Evangeline *NEW* !!SMD!! @ White Armoury

Evangeline make your own magic  this is what the wise Grand  Dutchess told me... Men will write poetry about you once you have unleashed your magic Evangeline... listen to the the wind in the trees... watch the glimmering stars and shooting comets... you will know what to do.... and, then, “Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” 

Yes... I thought as I put on my coat of rich purple velvet -- yes, the power of purple stirs a creative spirit deep within me.  This coat is luxurious in rich crushed velvet accented with a rich gold  and purple brocade collar. I love the tucked in waistline of this coat and the gold button loops. Completing the look of this coat is the lavish gold floral embroidery that lines the hem ... protecting me like the lavender twilight embraces the dark legions of nightfall...

The gown is fit for a queen and is made from a deep rich purple and gold satin brocade that shimmers in the light with its exquisite texture.  It  is soft against my skin.  I love the sweetheart neckline that is delicately trimmed with black lace... adding dimension to this beautiful gown.

The crowning glory of this outfit is the lovely box shaped hat that comes with it made of royal purple and gold silk brocade  embellished with the finest purple felt... it even has a bow and gold flower that picks up the floral print in the gown adding another dimension of style and flair to Evangeline.  I also love the detail of the  split sleeves of this gown that peek out from the coat... showing off more opulent embroidery... it is pure magic!

"Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted. If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters, returning Back to their springs, like the rain, still fill them full of refreshment; That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain."

Ghee has a shop there where they are giving 100% of proceeds to Team Diabetes for the the Grace Gown.

Grace Gown is a classic ball gown with a cascading satin ball skirt that drapes magnificently. I love this gown in mustard gold -- it is as opulent in this color as a christmas ornament.  The hemline and drape of this gown is sure to have all eyes on you because it is downright glamorous!  I love the sleeveless bodice of Grace with its intricate pattern of  gold and black lace that spells magic!

For the holidays, Grace Aurora... is perfect.  It is crimson at it's best!  I can imagine that I am on the arm of Mr. X entering the Ostankino Palaces Opera House with its gilded hallways filled with art and antiques...gold, mirrors, paintings, vases, statues, marble and me in this red bejeweled gown that glimmers in the crystal lighting of the chandeliers. Let's talk glam!

Also available for purchase is the Gabriella dress  and matching platform shoes.  This is defined by a fancy ruffle skirt on a very sleek cocktail dress with the same elegant bodice as the gown... it is flirty and sexy at the same time and if you are not fond of ball gowns, then this is a must have festive frock for the season!

A trio of finds @ Swank from landscaping to a dress

I told Mr. X that I adore winter... when nature paints the landscape with so many beautiful white textures... I love the way the snow covers the landscape and how it covers rocks and leaves... how it sticks to the branches of trees... creating a wonderful fairytale landscape to explore...

I found some terrific landscaping low prim items at this month's Swank event perfect for winter landscaping such as TM Creation's Winter Snowy Rocks Plants arrangement that contains a winter scene placed on snow with rocks, plants and pine trees - it even comes with a bonus with winter ground cover pine leaves. This is a total of 5 prims and can be used linked or unlinked and is copy.

Another find created by TM Creation is the winter snowy fairytale tree (2 prims) with Ivy ground cover. (1 prim) You can decorate it (or not) and also create a step to walk on with the leaf ground cover option or you can create a shadow. This tree is just gorgeous and it is really hard to believe that it is only TWO prims!

I just can't wait to cuddle with Mr. X by the Winter Well by Outside the Box, another great landscaping find at Swank.  This cute well comes with 8 cuddle poses and even a sequence option... it is a perfect place for a winter cuddle with a sweet little racoon, a bright red cardinal and snow covered pine tree that completes the scene.

I am wearing another fabulous find at Swank by Pink Ice called Bianca. It comes for all mesh bodies and is beautifully textured with an elaborate sequin pattern making this outfit perfectly festive.  I love the lace up back on top of this dress giving it added sexy appeal!  Bianca comes in a myriad of attractive colors from red and silver to pink, salmon, blue, black and many more.
