Mr. X and the Snow Queen - Giulia Designs & Luminesse @ Swank

Mr. X wanders through the forest in search of her... the Queen of Snow...served by the Lady of Ice and the Handmaiden of Winter... he knows where to look

WHERE the wild bear clasps the ice

Over the hanging precipice,

Where the glittering icebergs shine

Within the sunset, red as wine,

Where the reindeer lick the snow,

To see what there may be below,

Where the shades are blue and green,

There lives, they say, the great Snow Queen.

Wild her eyes are as the sea

When northern winds blow lustily.

Her queenly robes are white as snow,

But flaming diamonds on them glow,

And many a precious stone.

Of green ice builded is her throne:

Polar bears her watch-dogs are--

Her only lamp, an evening star.

Mr. X and the Snow Angel - Legendaire @ Swank

Her cheeks and lips are the color of pale pink roses as she wanders through the frozen landscape... it is so  quiet.  She listens for the gentle sound of deer in the woods but does not hear a thing in the winter world of white. Snow gently falls around her... a sprinkle of white flurries against the cold December sky...she waits for the stars to come out and wonders if the night shall bring Mr. X.

Speaking of Snow Angels, I love this new gown that I found @ Swank by Legendaire called Snow Angel... it is absolutely divine!  The bodice has a sweetheart neckline  that is made of the finest ivory antique battenberg lace giving this dress a look that is both lavish and beautiful. 

The billowing full length skirt is made of the finest pale pink taffeta that matches my lips and pale skin.  Mr. X tells me it is the perfect contrast to the delicate lace top.

Snow Angel is finished with an elegant fur winter cape in white that gently flows behind you as you walk. It is terribly chic and finishes this look.  Snow Angel is an exclusive @ Swank thru Dec. 31, 2017 and is made for mesh and classic avatar bodies.  This one is not to be missed.

Mr. X and Holiday Shopping - New Sascha's Designs & Emo-tions

I told Mr. X that the holiday rush is on... I love the hustle and bustle of the season... especially shopping and decorating... and I found the perfect outfit to go shopping in by Sascha's Designs called Leopard Snow Outfit that I have paired with new Emo-tions hair.

I love the leopard (Peta Approved thank-you very much) coat with its stand up collar that keeps me nice and warm.  It comes with appliers for maitreya, slink and belleza for the pants and shirt and is also made for classic bodies.

I really love the finishing touch of the Leopard Snow Outfit are the cute little leopard boots that keep my feet toasty warm as I trudge through the village looking for goodies for Mr. X!  I love this short and sassy new hair by Emo-tions with its side part bangs and cute barrett that gives this a sweet and spicy look, Mr. X likes that!

Mr. X and the Ice Queen - Sascha's Designs @ Swank

Is it bad to be called an ice Queen... Mr. X said yes and no... I think an ice queen is cool and calculating -- a woman who is able to hide her emotions for the good of others even though her heart is on fire -- warm enough to melt arctic ice!  Mr. X, this Ice Queen invites you to come to her secret grove... and listen to the snow fall gently around us... a frozen kiss...

Mr. X said I would surely melt arctic ice in this new gown by Sascha's Designs called Ice Queen that is an exclusive @ Swank.  It is made for classic mesh bodies with an alpha, plus Belleza and Maitreya (worn) mesh bodies.  I love the like ruffle detail around the neckline - it  reminds me of snowflakes.  The gloves even come with a hud for poses.

Sascha's designs is always generous in terms of looks that  her gowns offer... everything from sleek and sultry to airy and light to a lavish train... of  fluff!  It is so pretty each way it is worn --- Mr. X cannot decide which look he likes best!   Ice Queen also comes with wings and a tiara.

Mr. X as you fall asleep in my arms, remember ---  I am the Ice Queen... and you, my beloved are my King... and as we know... the flames get higher and hotter every day.... come, retreat with me... into our frozen paradise.

Mr. X and Winter Splendor.... New !!SMD!! & Emo-tions

A snow maiden wanders through the cold corridors of her castle, it is like a fortress -- drafty with little light...she thinks to herself, it is time to return to my friends in the forest. To bathe at midnight in the hot springs in a hidden evergreen glade where it is always summer... a magical place where pixie's cavort and fairies mingle and gossip...

Alas, this winter maiden is surrounded by snow -- the trees are iced with their bare branches glinting like diamonds... she lives in a frozen world of winter splendor... Her heart warms when she dreams of her beloved as she remembers the winter sun glinting on his frosted hair-- 

 The  snow is deep on the ground -- in the distance she hears the faint sound of chimes...  urging here ever onward... the wind blows through bare branches that etch the winter sky... they call to her... a distant memory fading in the midst of  the night...

    I love this new gown by !!SMD!!  called Winter Splendor.  It  it is made for mesh bodies - Belleza, Slink and Maitreya bodies and comes with whispy winter flexi prim attachments and a beautifully wrought necklace of fur and ice... The gown is available in  ice, snow, sage  and peppermint.

Mr. X.. and Raina - Three choices by Bliss @ Fashion Dazzle

I asked Mr. X if he thought Santa was sexy... he laughed at me (again) then said, but Sita, you look awfully sexy in that cute little outfit called Raina that is an exclusive at Fashion Dazzle by Bliss.  And, I must admit, it is sooo darn cute!  I feel like a sweet glimmering sugar plum fairy in the pink version of Raina.

Raina is made for mesh bodies including belleza, slink and maitreya (worn) as well as fit mesh in five sizes.  I love the detail of this  festive holiday dress that comes in red, black and green glitter as well as in pastel colors, pink (love pink!), silver and blue.

And, in the silver version I feel like a sparkling, crystal snowflake falling from the dark night sky... dancing and twirling everywhere... Raina comes with a necklace with bells on it, antlers and even a cute deer nose attachment! I have also paired this with another find at Fashion Dazzle, Nebula Gen2 hair by Firelight that comes in a full rich version and in a whispy version that is controlled by a hud.

Another find at Fashion Dazzle is the beautiful Christmas Gown by Bliss called Carolyna. I love the belt detailing around the bodice of this gown that gives it a spicey and sweet vibe -- Mr. X loves that!  I also love the texture on the bodice... it is really pretty especially with the new sultry lipsticks from Jumo called  Christy that is made for classic, catwa and letuka mesh heads.

I love the festive  floral hemline texture of Carolyna  that compliments the  bodice.  Carolyna comes with a six color changing hud including: blue, black, deep red, purple lavender, and green.  It is made for  Maitreya, Slink and Belleza and TMP mesh bodies.

Mr. X and Faith - New Jumo @ Swank and Madeline - Emo-tions

I told Mr. X  that I really have no idea what faith means...except that I believe in what I believe in... perhaps it is the substance of life, what keeps us going... it forms the foundation of achievements and setting future goals...whatever it is...to you... I have "Faith" in this new gown by  Jumo -- love it! This is an exclusive @ Swank!

Faith is made for belleza, slink and maitreya (worn) bodies... and has a massive 16 color changing hud for the jacket and for the gown so there are so many  of textures and colors to choose from.and mix and match .. it is really amazing... so many different looks!

I love the texture of this very "swank" fur  jacket --- Mr. X tells me it feels real, it looks real and best of all it is prims... no "real" animals used and it is  PETA  approved... what gets better than that! The gown is beautiful and comes in solids, laces and interesting textures... it is up to you to choose what you want to put with the fur wrap... get this at Swank and have fun.

 I am also wearing the whispy fab updo  that is an exclusive by Emo-tions called Madeline at  Hairology... I love the casual bun and  the romantic wispy strands of hair  that frame my  face... Mr. X thinks it is so  romantic and so do I -- told him... NO  tugging on the hair lol!!!   And --- woot... these fabulous   diamond  drop earrings...  come with Faith... (hahah faith in diamonds perhaps!!!)

Mr. X and Holly - * New* Jumo @ Designers Showcase

Holly’s are always beautiful. Generally they are the image of a princess, with long, thick wavy hair and huge shiny eyes, as well as a body that has the guys gaping at their curves whenever they doll-up.  And, "doll-up" I did in this gorgeous new gown by Jumo called... what else Holly!

Holly comes with a color changing hud for the gown and for the sheer cape that is  so elegant. I love the 3-D look that the top of the dress gets when you add the sheer cape... it is sheer perfection!  This gown is made for  all belleza and slink bodies and for maitreya bodies too (as I always wear). 

Holly comes with holiday ready drop gold and diamond earrings that you just won't want to take off!!  I am also wearing Candice Hair by Jumo and a new eye-shadow, my favorite to date called Sheba (she should have called it Sita -- hahaha)!  

Always reliable and honest, Holly’s are the first one called when a problem arises, and the most likely to stand by you. They will never let you down. Anyone who has a Holly in their life is blessed.

Mr. X and the Winter Deer - irriSIStible and Pink Box @ Swank

The Deer Queen... an Empress of Innocence like gently falling snow... She sits alone on a frozen throne...passing days of joy watching her pets play... Left alone to fend for herself, she is not sure which way she wants to go... she  watches for a silver star to light her way... I found the perfect Deer Queen outfit by irriSIStible called Winter Deer  and a winter scene by Pink Box @ the December Swank... must haves!

I recall days gone by when her namesake Sita was tricked by the magical golden deer  that roamed here and there... and caught Sita's attention  as if  it was destiny... on that  very the day when Lakshmana was not there to help Lord Rama... the way of destiny can be cruel all actions have consequences -- sometimes they take years to play out and sometimes, it is more immediate. Winter Deer by irriSIStible  comes is made for mesh bodies and is LOADED with goodies.  It comes with an outfit for Belleza, Slink and Maitreya (worn bodies) plus Omega appliers.

Winter Deer even comes with a fantastic skin that is compatible with Maitreya, Belleza and Slink, with the advanced skin applier I am able to wear it with my Maitreya body and my mesh head -- YAY!  I love the detail in this skin... that mirrors however faintly the spots on the deerskin sweater I am  wearing-- not to mention the  cool lips and cute deer nose... or is it a dear nose -- haha !

Winter Deer even comes with beautiful mesh eyes... and hair and a fur tiara.  The skin with the omega appliers was as easy as pie... and look at these antlers and the  gorgeous fur stole and top.  Really fun and really artfully creative.... it is "irresistible"!

The backdrop for this is another fantastic treat from Swank by Pink Box called Polar Animal Surprise.  I cannot believe all you get for just 29 prims... a pond,  snow,  a polar bear and cub, trees,  winter plants, penguins on rocks... and seals in the water... it is so well done... I love it!

Mr. X and Mrs. Santa! Finds @ Fashion Dazzle

This gown called Giselle Santa  is an exclusive @ Fashion Dazzle and is made by Suna Design.  It is made for Belleza, Slink and Maitreya  mesh bodies. I love the festive floral embellishment around the hem of this sexy santa gown that is also picked up in the fur trimmed cape...perfect for a winter midnight meeting with Santa Baby!

The Giselle Santa Gown also comes with heels made for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya and TMP high feet, a cape (S,M,L,XL), a hat and gloves (S, M, L).I am  wearing hair by Firelight, another exclusive at Fashion Dazzle.  Firelight is a new hair designer for me, and anyone that knows me, knows that I love hair.  Nebula comes with a Gen2 Hud with 12 colors (except Darks, which has 18 colors) in each of two effects -- wispy and rich/full. It is easy to switch between the two looks because it is easily done with the hud -- and so much fun!

Wispy Effect -- this effect shows individual strands and, on most styles, has a more natural looking effect. The downside is that the hair may leave an alpha halo effect when wearing clothes with alpha in them or when standing against an alpha background (trees, plants, etc). I didn't have any alpha trouble with this hair when wearing it as you can see.

Rich/Full Effect -- This effect doesn't show individual strands, and it gives the effect of a plush full set of hair. It looks better on some styles, and it also does not have any of the alpha halo issues.
