The Storm & Mr. X - Ghee @ The Instruments

Mr. X loves summer storms and bolts of lightening that light up the summer sky and, then there is thunder that  shakes his very being.... I asked him if he was talking about me... always diplomatic (coughs)  he said, " Sita - give me a break!"

I love summer storms --  I think they are romantic. The new exclusive gown created by Ghee is based on the goddess Mari and will create a tempest wherever you go.  Mr. X will not forget the storm Mari and I have dreamed up!

Ghee has created an unforgettable gown in honor of the powerful Goddess Mari for the First Anniversary Event for the Instruments through August 6. https://theinstrumentsevent.wordpress.com

Mari is the Mother Goddess of  Faerie lore and the primary deity that expressed life by changing the weather...and in this rendition, I think Mari likes storms!  Of course it goes without saying she is just and wise and that this gown is gorgeous and includes a rain splashing emitter encasing the gown in a storm and matching ribbon wraps for Slink high feet.

The Mari set  by ghee comes in 3  colors: Aquamarine, Amethyst and Hematite. What makes Mari exciting --- fun and different is that  each set includes a storm cloud with an artful array of particles  in addition, to lightening and a puddle  -- it can be attached for effect or just wear the gown for its' sheer beauty.

It is impossible to capture the beauty and unique options of this gown in still shots.... it needs to be worn in SL and  trust me it will be admired.  In the meantime, here is a utube video showcasing the highlights of this gown Here is the Mari Set in Action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQsLRSRTKI4&feature=share

Mr. X and the Agony and.....Wicca's Wardrobe @ The Instuments

 The truth is deeper... like the  indigo shade of the midnight sky... where the the planets intersect.... and yes, Mr X and I are star crossed lovers. It is simply as it should be... even though we bear the agony of times zone and distance. Speaking of agony, Wicca Merlin had created Agony, a  wildly creative dress that can be worn 3 different ways --- with leggings or with or without flexi prims that can be found exclusively at The Instruments in celebration of their anniversary.

Agony is a fresh take on the intersection where rocker glam and couture collide.   Worn as a short tunic shift dress you will discover your inner diva!  Wicca's spike Manion Heels for slink high feet  finish the look.

In an unexpected way Agony combines a futuristic vibe with classic lines.  The subtle geometric texture of this dress/tunic and leggings combined with the spikes that punctuate your shoulders and hemline is playful and daring in a  punk rock motorcycle cool way making it a must have.

As a gown, Agony is a poetic statement with a sonnet of special details -- the spikes, the billowing silk skirt and the celestially futuristic Kandira Headpiece is simply stunning.

The Kandira Headpiece comes with a color change HUD in silver, black, gold and bronze. The base plate will keep it's color, but you can change the spikes and gems to different textures via the HUD.

Mr. X encounters Zed Sensations- New Release - Take Flight

Mr. X's heart took flight when he saw me wearing Zed Sensation's new gown called Take Flight... Mr. X was tantalized by the peek a boo lace top that is daring and feminine at the same time.

Take flight is adorned with opulent jewels suggestively  placed on the lace top that has  flair that stops men in their tracks.   Mr. X's imagination runs wild... when he looks at the suggestive satin ribbon sleeves.

Take Flight comes loaded with all appliers on the grid and is a non mesh gown making it easy to wear on most mesh bodies.  I am wearing the new jewelry set by Muse, Royale Perpetua that comes with an amazing color changing hud.

Mr. X in the hall of mirrors - *new* Athena Couture

Mr. X asked me to meet him in the Hall of Mirrors...le grande galerie...with its sparkling chandeliers, breathtaking garden views and ornate windows...and everywhere the mirrors that reflect light.  Here, in this room seeing and being seen is crucial.

To dazzle Mr. X I decided to wear the newly released gown by Athena Couture called Voshkie.  This gown was an exclusive at July Sneak Peek and is now available in the shop.

I love the beading that cascades down this opulent gold dress that is as flattering as a smile from your beloved.  The dress also comes with a gorgeous flower necklace that graces your neckline like a tapestry of golden blossoms.

As for the skin I am wearing my new favorite just released by October 4 seasons - Zulay in Marigold natural with Soulful eyeshadow in yellow also by October 4 Season Skins.

Mr. X and Santa Maria dell'isola at FAD

I told Mr. X that I am dreaming of a summer holiday in Italy... he suggested Santa Maria dell'isola situated on the  unspoiled gulf of St. Euphemia and connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land in the Tyrrhenian Sea.  I decided to head to FAD for an exclusive to wear on our summer holiday.

It sounds like the place for a perfect getaway... my little kitty, Ludwig, an intellectual cat (aren't they all?) is googling this destination as I wait for Mr. X.  In the meantime, I found a new designer at FAD -- LaVian & Co.

Ah, Ludwig -- being a milk lover tells me Santa Maria dell'isola has the best milk on the planet and it's best by product... ice cream!  For me, ice cream and summer go together... just like this new outfit by LaVian & Co. called Money on my Mind that is an exclusive at FAD.

Modern. Fearless. On the move.  These describe the look of "Money on my Mind" (you have to love that name!)  with its preppy dress shorts and draping jacket that is paired with a colorful silk top with a pair of toucan birds that make it a stand out and pulls this look together with an exclamation point!  The skin is new by October 4 Seasons - Zulay in Marigold... it just sizzles with it's kissable coral lips and dramatic eyes.

I am wearing the sexy sandals that are a cool take on gladiator heels by Resun call Brenda that match this perfectly. The sandals come with a handy color changing hud of six colors as well as a texture hud that enables you choose how shiny you want the leather to be.

Another find at FAD also by LaVian & Co. is this cute shift style dress called Visions of Love that could very well be from the summer of love.  It is hipster cool and harkens back to the '60's.

Mr. X told me that the "swinging '60's" wouldn't be complete without a psychedelic shift with a crocheted top like Visions of Love.  I am avoiding the full on Austin Powers by pairing it with neutral black toned accessories. Again, I am wearing Brenda Shoes by Resun this time in black and vintage sunglasses by Sonatta Morales.

Fad is taking place through July 28 go check it out there are great finds from many top designers.

Mr. X and summer fun with Tania - *New* Resun

When I think of a perfect summer day, I think of the air tinged with a hint of ocean water... that wonderful salt air seems so invigorating and energizing. Languidly waiting for Mr. X... I am wearing this gorgeous new release by Resun called Tania.

I love the gracefully pleated maxi skirt that hugs my hips and shows off my curves in all the right places. Maxi skirts are trending in both worlds right now and the texture and quality of Tania makes it a must have.

The top is pure sin.. with it's open sides held together with delicate silken threads... this top is an invitation in itself without saying a word in a sophisticated and glamourous way.

Although Tania comes in many colors, I am showing it in my favorite three colors -- creme, red and black along with the new sexy sandals called Brenda by Resun that are made of the finest Italian leather and comes with a convenient color changing hud.

I have paired Tania with October 4 Seasons new Neutral Nails and new Skin, Zulay in Marigold using make-up #1, #3 and neutral.  So Mr. X -- the sangria is made, the candles are lit, the breeze is soft and sweet as the sun sinks slowly into the horizon...I'm waiting.

Empress Salina & Mr. X - A trio of *new* TWA, Muse and October 4 Seasons

I told Princess Amethyst that insincerity will be her true misfortune... she tosses her hair and stomps out of the room.  Alone, I remember that I have not opened the doors to my courtyard since I have become Empress. In a dream,  I opened the doors...Mr. X was standing there offering me a white rose...his eyes were so gentle and kind... at last, I began to feel safe.

 Looking around -- I was surprised to see that red, pink and white flowers covered my entire courtyard. Their fragrance is strong  and spicy - a heady mixture of jasmine, roses and gardenias.  Yes, I thought, I will survive this intrigue.  Here I feel like a great and benevolent earth goddess in this gorgeous new silk gown by TWA called Majestica Salina in Garden and jewelry called Royale Perpetua set by Muse.  

The rich silk brocade of this soft azure colored gown with it's delicate raspberry pink floral pattern is a dream to wear... it is a vision of cool mountain streams and calm summer skies at dawn.  It  is elegant with flowers at each shoulder and at the waistline. I love the way the sheer raspberry silk billows from the arched decorative sleeves adding unforgettable allure to all that see me. 

To accompany Majestica Salina I am wearing the new jewelry set by Muse called Royale Perpetua. There is a matching necklace collection for each of the metals that have been created and all are stunning. Each metal has their own selection of gems and pearls. There are huds that go with this but you must purchase the necklace collection to get the hud. If you want a custom hud, you can have one created for 1,000L.  This set matches the Perpetua Crown.  As an added bonus, the Promo Price of this gorgeous jewelry set is $499 for the female set and $399 for the male set until August 1 when the price goes to $599 & $499.

 I am also wearing the new skin in the neutral tone by October 4 Seasons called Zulay in Marigold.  This gorgeous skin comes with 5 vibrant eye and lip make-up including the most gorgeous blue lips I have ever seen that I will be wearing in other blog posts. 

 Zulay comes with lots of options, all appliers and both black and brown eyebrows making this skin easy to wear with many different styles and hair color options. The skin tone of Zulay Marigold is rich and provocative with beautifully arched brows that beckon.
