Mr. X and Louise - *NEW* Luxe Paris and Luna @ Instruments

It's winter -- outside there is a "snow shower" --  the air is crisp and cold... the sky is a glorious blue... Mr. X and I love the winter landscape and all the tree branches, stone walls, fences, benches and even roof tops that are nestled  under a blanket of snow.

And, then there are the dark, frigid nights... perfect for cuddling by the fire.  We love to hear the fire crackle --- there is nothing like the sound and smell of wood burning in the fireplace on  a winter evening during a snowstorm.  Feeling cozy I decided to wear one of several  new releases by Luxe Paris called Louise Cape & jeans.  

This classic poncho lends itself to a relaxed drape that is oh so cozy.   This contemporary styled poncho with its  stylish cowl neckline, basket weave texture that is almost 3-D and fringe make it the perfect choice for a night out -- exploring a winter landscape, cuddling by a fire or dancing the night away.

The matching tight suede pants that come with this outfit match the buttons on the poncho's cowl neckline pulling this look together.  Manon Heels by Wicca's Wardrobe with their  particularly unique spike heel and color changing hud just add to this look.  I love the artful design of these shoes.

I have paired this look with "Moon" nails made for slink hands and feet by Luna.  These nails  embellished by  a crescent moon are an exclusive at The Instruments.  They come with a color changing hud in trendy colors that that go with so manystyles.

Mr X and Blanche - New Jumo @ The Instruments

January's theme for the Instruments is Earth...Mr. X told me that the word  "earth" goes back to the 5th century AD with the migration of Germanic tribes from Euope to Britain. The word earth originates from the Anglo-Saxon word erda and its Germanic equivalent erde that means ground or soil.  The new mermaid style gown called Blance at The Instruments has a texture of bare tree branches and will make you  feel like a goddess of the earth.

Wearing this  new release by Jumo, I feel like a goddess, standing at the center of the earth -- forever, in a promise of immortality, the tree of life promises immortality spreading its roots and branches in a cascading network of color. Blanche comes in Earth (worn), flora, forest and sand.

Blanche also comes with a fabulous necklace that is tribal  chic with gold beads, tassels, onyx and bone.  I love it, in addition to two chain bracelets with tassels, matching earrings and two rings.  The jewelry exudes power and grace and catch the light with each step you take.  I could not help but pair this with October 4 Seasons new skin, Guiselle in Mocha.

Earth is the only planet not named after a mythological Greco Roman God; nevertheless, wearing this  exclusive gown by Jumo at the Instruments makes me feel out of this world...it is heavenly and a must have.  It  makes me want to reach for the stars... as I wait for Mr. X... to take me to the moon!!

Mr. X -- all Bandaged Up - Exclusive by Culco at the Instruments

The Instruments is running January 11-25 and this round is dedicated to the Earth and the exclusive offers here will simply take your breath away, like the Bandage Dress created by Culco an exclusive at The Instruments.  Originally, the bandage dress style was created in the 1986 by Azzedine Alaia, Culco has created a perfect example of this dress style to wear in SL.  Originally it was called the bender because of how it bends and molds the figure.  This mid thigh form-fitting dress will be your go to dress for a eye catching night out.

Mr. X loves the form fitting silhouette of this dress that has sexy cutouts with an alluring nude transparent texture coupled with the fabulous color blocking silk fabric with a subtle shine that enhances the hourglass feminine shape. Bandage dresses hug your curves and flaunt them.

Wearing this dress you will feel confident, fierce, and definitely sexy!  I love the fact that the back of this dress is as sexy as the front.   Speaking of Sexy, I paired this dress with the January Group Skin called Capricorn Perfection by October 4 Season Skins.  It comes with two make-ups, two tattoos - one on the thigh and one on the back, appliers for mesh bodies and classic and even a shape!

Mr X told me that a dress makes no sense unless a man wants to take it off of you!

Mr. X and Alexia - New - Poet's Heart

Born to purple. She is mistress of all she surveys.  Through the rainy and steamy nights, wandering through the clubs of SL, you must not loose yourself.  The beauty of this new release called Alexia by Poet's Heart is dashing and full of sexy curiosity that will showcase the beauty of your pale face and glistening tears. Alexia comes with a color changing hud where you can change the color of each layer of clothing. The colors are green, blue, black magenta, purple, red and sea green.

This dress in lavish purple is super soft with details that are amazing. I love the way the gothic Lolita bow cape with its high collar and bow accents drapes gracefully over the chest-- a pee a boo look with  a hint of  modesty that make eyes linger on you.

I paired this with Chandelier Drop Cristal Earrings by Tracie.  I love the lavish cascading crystals of these glamorous earrings.  The hair is new from Amacci called bounty and  is available at the Hairology event.  The skin is October 4 Seasons - Zulay Marigold and the funky shoes are from Wicca's Wardrobe and come with a handy color changing hud.

The tight corset is a sculpting master piece of artful seams that will leave you breathless...it's binding and beautiful.  The angles go from wide to narrow and are incredibly flattering.  Add the insidiously flirty skirt with its lace accents and bows that is innocent and seductive at the same time.  After all the flirtatiousness of a school girl turned woman is truly irresistible...this is what Mr. X whispered in my ear...

Mr. X & Last Day for POE Hunt - Purplemoon and {AnaMarkova}, ::X::., Always Desing

Today, January 9th is the last day for the POE hunt.  My advice is to get out there and look for those globes because there are some real quality finds and all are FREE.  Mr. X helped me find this gorgeous gown by Purplemoon called Velvet Gown in Gold and Black...need I say more?  I love the shimmering crinkle textured gold top and the black crushed velvet of this elegant gown that has a deep slit up the front.

Another gift at POE is the sheath dress in a dual colored satin texture of red and white with a snow leopard fur stole by {AnaMarkova} called Vicki/Victoria.  This superb creation announces your presence the minute you enter the room.  This outfit also comes with a generous gift of matching heels for slink high feet.

Best of all Vicki/Victoria by {AnaMarkova} also has a single color option in red silk making this POE hunt exclusive a must have.

Another great find for a formal affair is the gorgeous gown by .::X::.  called Elegant Strapless Dress with Bow - Pale - L.  I love the deep V cut plunging neckline that is intricately beaded. This gown has a cute bow accent around the waist and a fabulous sheen to the misty colored silk ball gown.

Always Desing is offering a cute dress with deep cutouts and embellished with snowflakes for gals and a matching outfit for the boys!  If you are friends or a couple, this is a great way to go out together and match!

Mr. X and Flo - new Sascha's Designs

I hear the far off strains of a symphony...and dream of an evening at the opera, La Scala perhaps... seated in red velvet chairs with gold tassels, drinking fine champagne... and wearing Sascha Designs new dress called Flo that is perfect for a night out.

Flo is 50% mesh and also has flexi skirts and a gorgeous fur wrap.  I love the deep slit up the leg and the excellent silk texture of this gown.  It comes in a wide array of colors including: gold, snow sparkling white, red, teal, black and bronze. Each version comes with a matching fur stole.

Opera is complex not only for those that perform it but also for the listeners. It takes time and patience to understand it... but, Mr. X and I think it is well worth it because opera offers such deep passionate sensations of spirit that are sure to last a lifetime....
