Another really cool outfit is called the Gothic Cross Hooded Cloak - it is perfect to meet someone special under the soft light of an October moon... I especially like the detail around my waist with a corset-like cross that sets this cloak off perfectly. The cloak is made for regular mess bodies from small to XL plus legacy, belleza, reborn, slink, tonic, voluptuous, and maitreya.

A Trio of Fashion by Virtual Diva Couture
Virtual Diva has been hard at work making signature stylish and sexy designs. She has just created three gorgeous dresses -- each one has its own allure. For example, take Virtual Diva Lara with its sexy deep V lace-front, sexy halter top, and shirt mini skirt in the finest leather texture around. Best of all it is available in a fat pack with solids and print patterns. Laura is made for Maitreya, (worn), bombshell, kupra, LaraX, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu. This dress is available as a fat pack of various patterns and solid colors or is sold individually.
Belts made a strong comeback in 2024, reminiscent of the Y2K era, and this new dress called Edge is all about the belt. The oversized belt adds dimension and structure to this outfit, transforming the sheath top and straight skirt into something really special. The pockets and scalloped neckline add visual interest. Belts cinched at the waist will enhance your silhouette and create an hourglass figure... oh la la! Edge is made for Maitreya, (worn), bombshell, kupra, LaraX, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu. This dress is available as a fat pack of various patterns and solid colors or is sold individually.
Stripes are all the rage on the runway in 2024 and best of all, when vertical they are slimming! The final dress in this trio is my favorite is called Avanti. I just love the sweetheart neckline crop top and the mini skirt and the way the stripes hug my body. It makes me feel glamorous... and I like feeling that way! Avanti made for Maitreya, (worn), bombshell, kupra, LaraX, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu. This dress is available as a fat pack of various patterns and solid colors or is sold individually.

Magic in the Air @ Swank....
Yes, can you feel it? I do... and you will --- there is something so wonderful about SL -- it is an escape from the daily grind into the world of fantasy and fun for so many of us and this new look at Swank is a winner... I feel like the goddess Artemis and elegant all at the same time. Ok, let me explain.... I wear a headpiece called Mabon Ritual Horns - Deity by Goddess Creations. These realistically sculpted antlers are beautiful and are embellished with sunflowers and the enigmatic face of Janus facing forward. That gives me hope. I love the leather tied on my antlers... and the leaf crown surrounding Janus.
I combined this with an Old World Fashion, Kitty Creations called Rohwan outfit. The Fitmesh top and skirt are made for ebody, reborn, freya, isis, venus, legacy, Maitreya (worn) hourglass, physique, and fitmesh XL-XS. Rohwan also comes with a color-changing hud in eight gorgeous colors. This outfit is so Stevie Nicks to me... with the flowing gypsy skirt that has mystical symbols embroidered around my waist for protection... and the way it flows... is poetic like the earth speaks to me... with tales of ribbon, buttons, lace, embroidery, and talismans... only to know that the tide of life flows ever onward for those that dare to experience.

Sometimes... It is too late to be good! Luxe Paris
I like to have fun -- and to flirt and to make people happy... I like to dance and explore in SL even after all these years... but sometimes I get into trouble ( I know hard to believe - we blame it on the now absent and gone Mr. X) I am wearing a new look by Luxe Paris called Diva. And, honestly, who doesn't like to be called a diva!!!
Luxe Paris Diva comes with boots for ebody reborn, legacy, and maitreya (worn). Diva with an artful black lace hemline embellished with turquoise - a sacred stone for many Native American communities. The dress is made for ebody reborn, legacy, maitreya (worn), legacy, and maitreya petite.Saturday, August 31, 2024
Under the Moon of Chinhaun - Sascha's Designs
I just love this new Asian-inspired gown called Chinhuan by Sascha's Designs. It comes in a rainbow of colors including fiery red (worn), Aqua, Blue, Fuchsia, Gold, Mauve, Mint, Nude, Pink, Red, Teal, Yellow, and Purple. It is made for Genx, LaraX, GenXcurvy, GenX, Kupra, Legacy Bombshell, Maitreya (worn), reborn, reborn juicy, and reborn waifu. I love wearing it straight without any attachments, I think it is very elegant when worn this way.
The attachments make this gown even more glamorous. It has two attachments on the shoulders of this gown that act as trains. I love the way they flow in the breeze as I walk. I also attached the mermaid skirt and fluffier that give this gown a totally different look, making it two gowns for the price of one!

When I close my eyes, I see you... and, really it is so good, so comforting and so reassuring. I remember last night, hopefully not our last night because of the photograph.

It is made for Genx, LaraX, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Bomshell, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Reborn waifu, and Maitreay (worn).
I paired this with Heels from Vega called Adel... I love these heels with the added exotic chains around my ankles. These shoes are made for bellaza, erika, genxclassic, curvy, kuppra, legacy, maitreya(worn) reborn and slink. Best of all they come with a color changing hud.

Quiet after the storm
Snow has fallen through the night and in the early light the gardens and hills glint in an unearthly glow. I am pierced with longing- if only this quiet and these lovely memories again become reality. Stories of summer drinks on the loggia where we held court. Ah yes, those were the sweet last days of summer. I am wearing something new, sleek, and sexy all at the same time called Sabrina by Melody. It is an off-the-shoulder number with fabulous diagonal cutouts that make this dress stand out. It is made for maitreya worn, classic, curvy, legacy, and reborn. It also comes with a color-changing hud.
I paired this look with shoes by Evie called Amy Shoes. I love the juxtaposition of the super mod dress with the cute shoes with their dotted socks. The shoes are made for belleza classic, curvy, legacy, reborn and maitreya (worn) and they come with a fab color changing hud.
The Necklace and earrings are by Zuri Rayna and care called Mystic. I love the intricacy of the sapphire/plum necklace and drop earrings. Best of all you can control the bling on this set that is really easy to resize if necessary.

Wisteria and More...
In the moonlight, the color and scent of wisteria seem far away...... the breeze comes in sudden puffs, so soft and gentle like a pond with sunlight glistening on the deep blue water... that ripples under her artful fingertips...

Maiden of Summer - Luxe Paris and Heartsdale Jewelry
When I close my eyes I see Coventry House. In the darkness, as I lay down to sleep, I see the stone frontage in the glow of the late afternoon. The sunlight glints off the upper windows and the air is heavy with the scents of magnolia and salt. Ivy clings to the porch archway, and a magpie pecks at the lichen coating a limestone roof tile. Smoke seeps from one of the great chimneystacks, and the leaves on the unfilled lime avenue are May green and cast mottled patterns in the long drive.
Everyone is just out of sight. I can hear the ring of the drinks tray being prepared; on the terrace, a bowl of pink camellias rests on the table. And in the bay, fishing boats bounce on the tide, nets cast wide, the slap of water against wood. I wait for him as I am not exiled yet.

Le La At Swank... Oh La la Le La! and Wicca's Originals
I love the romantic notions of steampunk, you know that design style inspired by Victorian-era industrialism... this new outfit by Le 'La called Fedelma is an exclusive at Swank and has a steampunk edginess that I adore. It has a wonderful floral see-through blouse, a gorgeous jacket embellished by glittering studs that hug my curves, and the very shortest of skirts with a peek-a-boo slip underneath. And, to top it all off, a gorgeous belt at the waist that just pulls this look together... it is glam steampunk! Fedelma is made for Maitreya (wearing) Maitreya petite, erika, genx classic, classic dinty, curvy, survey dainty, Kupra, Larax and Larax petite, and legacy/legacy perky. I am wearing a Bowler Hat and glasses from Wicca's Originals that just set off this look perfectly.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the boots... oh la la... they are hawt! High knee boots are so coolio... but - they have back laces with diamond studs... and to be honest, they are gorgeous! The bots are made for reborn, maitreya, erika, genx classic and curvy, kupra, and legacy.

Sita Seeks Rouge - Sascha's Designs....
Who can sail without the wind? I love the colors of the islands of the South Seas... glittering paradise shaped like a pearl floating in an azure sea which is why I am wearing the new cocktail dress by Sascha's Designs called Rouge in teal/azure. I feel as exotic as a tropical breeze in this gorgeous dress with its deep slit with an off-the-shoulder top. I particularly like the detail of the feathers at my wrist... a nod to a bird of paradise, Mr. X likes that. And the hat reminds me of an abstract flower -- it is fun, sophisticated, and retro all at the same time.

I remember that last evening in July with absolute clarity - it was one of those perfect evenings... like one image...lured by promises of champagne...the terraces spread with frost and glisten... as we sneak into the night...
