Dreams of Old Shanghai - Sascha's Designs and Heartsdale

When I dream about Shanghai, I see the Bund, the Pudong skyline, and the blossoming trees of the old French Concession.  People from every nation once strolled under those trees. Japanese, Brits, Russians, Americans, Portuguese, Germans, French, etc. In my dreams, I hear their strange speech, dream of my lost love, and wonder where I will ever see him again... and I wonder who is next in this crazy Shanghai world.  

I am wearing SAS - Sascha  Designs  Ophelia Sparkle in Red  - it also comes in apricot and is an exclusive @ Swank. It is made for many mesh bodies. I also paired it with Yoppy Shoes with a color-changing hud and many colors by Sascha. 

As I  stand by a fearsome dragon's head as sculptured animals some mythic— some true seem to glance their stony eyes towards me I am wearing with Heartsdale  Firebrand - Necklace and earrings I love the silver peacock feather look to the necklace and earring that comes with a color changing hud for the stones.  Firebrand is truly elegant

Full of Pride - Glitter Block Dress Bryne @ Swank

 Pride month is in June, and there are tons of ways to celebrate and show your support for the LGBTQ+ community. And this Fabulous rainbow dress called Glitter Block Dress by Byrne is an exclusive @ Swank reminded me of it. There is a jacket for men that is fabulous and not to be missed!

When I think of PRIDE -  no matter what your orientation is... I think of this quote ... "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself."

This is made for maitreya and legacy and comes with a fabulous crown... that is so ornate and easy to wear... I feel like a queen... I love the entire texture and the way it matches this cute dress... it all shimmers and is so much fun to wear!

For me, to be honest, I just appreciate the wonder of the world and of the diverse humanity that enjoys the world...

Hear Me Rawr... Luxe Paris @ Swank

Sometimes deep in the night  I think of moonstones... don't you?  A stone of new beginnings, new light, clarity and  beauty... in  RL I wear a moonstone always... set in 18 kt gold and surrounded by diamonds... it is gorgeous in all its opalescent beauty.... reminiscent of this exotic zebra pattern gown slashed with cerise by Luxe Paris called Rawr

Like the depths of a moonstone, I love the whimsical interplay of patterns of this gown... that gives the impression of being unpredictable and wild... I think Mr. X will approve of that - don't you? The deep slit up my thigh shows off the fab shoes that come with this gown that is made for  Maitreya, Freya, Housrglass, Isis, Legacy, Phsique. It comes with applies (used) and BOM. The shoes are made for maitreya, belleza, slink, legacy. 

I just couldn't help myself I had to embellish this look with a butterfly hat from Fellini that is part of an outfit by Fellini called  Farfalla and my new hair called Biyn. These are not Swank Exclusives but this gown is available @ Fellini https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lingua%20Franca/51/203/24

New Find @ Swank - Key Style - Emily & Heartsdale

 It is cold in RL where I live... so in SL, it is fun to celebrate winter in all its glorious briskness and snow with a no thank you very much to ice! While checking out the January Swank, I noticed a new designer, to me anyway, and wow what a find... it's called Emily.

I love love love Emily with its sexy snow leopard patterned coat that is embellished with a lush fur collar and fur cuff, all PETA approved, I promise. It also comes with a cute hand-knit Icelandic wool scarf and jeans with a bit of fuzz at the waist just because! Emily is made for Maitreya (worn), Freya, and Hourglass. Seriously, isn't it adorable!

I paired this with another Swank Exclusive by Heartsdale Designs called the Coco Collection. I am in love with this classic set of two strands of pearls and delicate pearl earrings... seriously, it is a must-have and so well done.
