Ghee -- *newsflash* New Store and New Maxi Dress & Mr. X

Ghee has had an extreme makeover!  I mean, Mr. X and I thought they were perfect already... but talented designers always like to  recreate and improve their craft... and this is exactly what Ghee has done.  The store is beautiful and lag free.  Best of all,  for members, there is a special perk --  a re-opening offer - a special edition of our SS16 Maxi Dress in Noir.  This Maxi dress is FREE  for members and for everyone else it is only 50L -- a steal! My advice, join the group... there are always amazing gifts.

Ghee has moved to a new location, and has been completely rebuilt in an elegant French classical style. There is  a lovely park and terrace cafe to relax in, and some nice spots for photos.  This is where I am shooting this blog... gorgeous isn't it! And, this is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak!

Ghee has a  new vendor system, with options for gifting and redelivery. They also have a customer loyalty scheme in place.  The new Ghee SS16 Collection is at the store, as are several recent releases. They are adding stock daily as they migrate to the new vendor system.  Now I am off to SHOP!

Mr. X and Sayomi & Nascha - *new* Wicca's Wardrobe

Last night I dreamed of meeting him again... on a path that wends its way through a forbidding forest... the sounds of night are all around me... I look up...a star breaks -- flashes and is gone forever...I seek his darkest secrets in the shadows of the wind...

And, what better outfit to wear than the new creation called Sayomi by Wicca's Wardrobe that is available at On 9 taking place this July. I love the high waisted Victorian styled hoop skirt with its bows and the artful cage hemline in silver.

The crushed velvet of the skirt is folded perfectly and the texture so realistic that you can sense its softness.  This comes in a variety of colors including black/purple, indigo, pink, pink flowers (worn) purple, red (worn), roses and tropical.

The bra top has one strap that dangles alluringly off the shoulder and is complimented by an hip collar that is urbane and oh so cool -- updating this to a  Neo Victorian vibe -- Mr. X likes this!

I am also wearing a bracelet set by Wicca's Wardrobe called Nascha Set that consists of a variety of wristbands and a necklace (not worn) that is available at TSA. The bracelets have a great color changing hud that make this easy to mix and match with many different looks.

New Design Collaboration... TWA and Blue Moon... Mr. X and Marina

Bee Dumpling owner of The White Armory is collaborating with Solasnagealai of Blue Moon Enterprises and has created a new exciting fantasy brand called  Silvan Moon Designs and it is delicious!  Both creators share the same passion for beautiful Medieval and Fantasy clothing, so this partnership is like a marriage made in heaven so to speak... just check out the gorgeous new dress called Marina.

 The designers have delegated who is doing what in terms of creation... Blue Moon Enterprise (BME) provides the original mesh work as well as the rigging and The White Armory provides the texture work, promotional art and packaging.  The result is quality design that goes into each gorgeous detail.

I love this shift like dress with it's rope belt loosely slung at the waist called Marina that reminds me of something a Grecian water nymph might wear as she explores the indigo depths of the ocean...and celebrates life... under and sometimes above the water.

Marina comes with a dashing hat of seashells and coral...a perfect touch to this fetching frock.

Sugar and Spice and Marvelous Event + Lavian&CO & LA BoS

I love new Events and who can resist a new event on thru July 25 called Marvelous Event...  and, yes "Marvelous" --- is one of my favorite words and when combined with Lavian and LA BoS poses... I am ready to go on a serious shopping expedition --- so much to find here.... oh la la!

Look at this strappy beyond  flirty sheath  mini dress... it is  alluring and  well  Mr. X can't wait to  unbuckle all the ties in the front... I think he is  feeling frisky... hard to believe any man wouldn't feel that way...  after seeing this  "marvelous" dress.... called  the "Heat is On" --- (Mr. X said no kidding!)

And  yes, this comes with a massive color changing hud -- the dress, the sides and even the cross ties in  front... there are three fabulous packages with endless options from solids to prints to animal prints... i loved Bag #3 of The Heat is On --  but each has their own allure.....

So, Mr. X... come and find me --- if you dare

Mr. X and Lillia by Jumo @ Swank

Summertime is picnic time for me and how I love to pack a luscious picnic lunch for Mr. X... ice cold salmon, fresh lemons and capers, a refreshing mango and papaya salad spiked with mint, lime and ice cold shrimp...a beautiful view and a warm breeze carrying the scent of suntan lotion and the faint fragrance of heritage pink roses and lavender.

I found the perfect dress at swank called Lillia by Jumo. It is a floral maxi dress that is in full bloom with beautiful swirling flowers.  It is summer sheer making it just sexy enough without showing all... Mr. X loves the translucent texture of this summer frock.

As with all of Jumo's dresses, a starfish necklace earrings and stachel making this outfit a winner. Matching Lillia shoes replete with starfish and flowers are sold separately.

Mr. X and Isamaya - * A trio of New by Mistique M&F

As yet more royal guests began to arrive, my servants have ensured they are comfortably accommodated in the many small palaces and houses that are dotted throughout the park.  And, the wonderful activities I have planned... after dinner drives under the golden twilight skies around fountains and gardens in a fleet of golden carriages with elaborate carvings and crowns on their roofs.

Alone now in the quiet of the garden, I am wearing a simple gown embellished with a lavish belt with an artful buckle of flowers...it is so pretty and suits this gown by Mistique called Isamaya perfectly.

I love the texture of this gown with row upon row of sequins that glisten like diamonds in the rough. Best of all Isamaya comes with a color changing hud that offers six rainbow colors including: sea green, lime green, gold, pink, lavender and blue.

I take a moment for myself, in another new release by Mistique called Talila - a cute low cut skirt and top that has a Grecian look.  Mistique has also created a gorgeous butterfly cage chair... I love the simple elegance of the caged butterfly chair with it's finely wrought metal cage with nine PG poses comes with  pastel pillows that is edged with a sweet butterfly.  It is perfect in almost any romantic setting -- whether you use it beachside, in the heart of the forest or to sparkle up a corner in your SL home, this butterfly cage is a must have.

Mr. X - A Day @ the Beach @ Swank - Park Place, October 4 Seasons, Selene Creations Heartsdale Jewelery

At the July Swank,  Mr. X and I stumbled on a great beach set by Park Place.  The items sold separately included two pink beach towels at 2 prims each, a  highly detailed rattan hanging lounge chair at 4 prims and a beach blanket at 5 prims that comes in two versions, adult and pg.

There are embedded animations in the blanket (the first to sit will go into the female poses).   Simply right click and select "sit" from the menu.    To change the animations, left click once you are  sitting to get a menu with the selections.    The animations can be repositioned to suit your individual avatar. Touch the blanket - while you are sitting to access the menu and click the [adjust] button.  The blanket also comes with loads of props -- you can read, drink, work on your laptop, chat on the phone and even put on suntan lotion!  It is great fun.

As for the hanging lounge chair, animations are also embedded in the chair.  This piece was set up for only one avatar at a time using the singles animations.  If a second avatar sits, both will be placed automatically into the couples animations.  The chairs are also copy and experience enabled and offer many fun experiences from drinking and reading to cell phones and laptops.

I fell in love with this sexy pink  bathing suit by Selene Creations called Deauville Rose (it comes in a rainbow of other colors). This suit features a deep V cut with a "swank" little belt at the waist and, as Mr. X whispered in my ear while putting suntan lotion on me... it shows off all my assets with tantalizing style! I have finished this look off with the special updated skin offered at Swank by October 4 Seasons - Guiselle Blossom -- it is perfect for blondes and comes with 5 make-ups and even a few natural options, tattoos and is compatible with all mesh bodies. It's one of my favs.
