Mr. X and Hella Isa D'Orable Creations and Park Place @ Swank

This morning I asked Mr. X to come and help me straighten a few things out... I  have a love hate relationship with placing things -- love to decorate -- but hate trying to get it all straight -- there are XYZ tricks for that as Mr. X showed me.... I just love the new contemporary set offered by Park Place @ Swank. There are many low prim items available perfect to mix and match your home decor.

The items include an array of plants, I really liked the bamboo (3 prims), the lanterns that  can be made larger or smaller and they click on and off.  The fabulous fireplace that  you can turn up the fire... or not (1 prim and wow), a black and silver sofa table, the  cosmopolitan coffee table with accessories (3 prims another wow)  and a great herringbone patterned rug.

These lovely and comfortable cityscape chairs ( with or without pillows) plus throw pillows are 3 and 2 prims respectively. Both come with 14 interactive male and female poses.  The chairs are experience enabled giving a smoother transition between aos and props.  There are props for coffee, drinks, cell phone, notes, computer and more.

I am wearing another Swank Exclusive by Isa D'Orable Creations... called Hella. It is so sexy -- naughty and nice all at the same time and so well made and textures. I love the quilted leather and fine black lace, the high waisted belt that shows off my figure and the sexy side laces (Mr. X loves those)!  The fire is burning Mr. X and this little number is sure to make you hawt !! Hella is made for mesh and classic bodies -- and I am  wearing it  with my  Maitreya Mesh  body.  The boots are Pointy Boots by Muse, also at Swank.

One last find at Swank... in anticipation of summer are the patio lounge chairs... that beckon... they come with 10 poses and are so low prim and stylish that they are hard to resist. There is also a line of plants that complete this look along with a table and lights.

Mr. X and the Spirit Maiden --Six Looks by Silvan Moon @ Fantasy Faire -

Silvan Moon is a  sponsor for the 2017 Fantasy Faire!  Their  *NEW* Exclusive @ Fantasy Fair is called  Spirit Maiden and can be found at Spirit Pool (direct shop LM at end of blog).  Spirit Maiden will bring out the beauty in you... as it is just such a  downright pretty gown that is good for any occasion... fantasy or formal... you will be the most beautiful spirit in the room.

This is a perfect example of a  feminine Medieval inspired gown with a soft floral pattern and puff sleeves. Regardless if you are simple maiden or the empress ready to take a midnight stroll through her garden of delight... this gown is a must have. It comes in a multitude of soft romantic colors and is made for mesh bodies.

The Spirit Maiden... she sings a lilting melody that lifts to the moon as a single sparrow sings... she is no longer a decorative asset to her lord, the mother of his heirs and arbiter of good taste and modesty... she is the Spirit Maiden of  undying creativity that echoes even now through the years.

Another offering by Silvan Moon is Lilly of Hollowdell that reminds me of a combination of gown and sari with its wide silk trim skirt and tiered  artfully belted overskirt and short paisley patterned vest that reminds me of the wood block prints of Moghul India... wearing Lily of Hollowdell  you are fit for a Sultan! Lily of Hollowdell  is compatible with mesh bodies, I am wearing my Maitreya Lara body with it!  I have paired the new hair by Emo-tions called Stella with this lovely gown.

Another find reminds me of the best of Scottish Tartan and is called Broch Tuarach.  Named for an old broch on the land, Broch Tuarach means "north-facing tower" in Gaelic. I love the look of this gown with its lovely tartan in heather, brook or hunter... each one has its own beauty... and comes with a matching sweater  legs and tops that are compatible with all mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara. This gown is also compatible with  regular mesh bodies and classic.

Ranger of Islavare Dress Set is perfect for roleplay.  As a matter of fact, I cannot think of a better outfit to hunt in than this gorgeous tunic made of rich emerald velvet and edged with olive silk ruffles at the hem and embellished by the finest leather edging and rich gold brocade embroidery at each sleeve and at my neckline.  My cloak made of  the finest velvet is lined with ermine to keep me warm...it can be taken on or off.  The Ranger of Islavare Dress Set is made for classic and all mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara with it.  It also comes in a wide range of colors.

I love the whisper of chiffon skirts and overlay skirt as light as a breeze not to mention the sexy corset top with lace insets and lace around the sweetheart neckline...Lady Rhapsody is all this and more.  This gown is like wearing a dream. It comes in colors such as tea rose, wheat, hyacinth and orchid and is made for slink and maitreya (worn) mesh bodies. I love the roses at the waist... it sets this gown off perfectly.

And who doesn't need one... a "fairy godmother" that is!  Never fear Silvan Moon to the rescue! It would be hard to leave as quietly as I arrived because this Fairy Godmother Gown is so intricate and lavish.  I love the bodice that is embellished with stars and ruffles... the bell shaped skirt has the most intricate texture... the sleeves are belled and so elegant and yes, look at those wings... and high collar they just glisten.... the Fairy Godmother gowns comes for standard bodies with an alpha plus it come for those that wear Slink and Maitreya (worn) mesh bodies making this easy to wear.

Mr. X and DS Destiny Style and HJM Furniture Designs @ Swank

There is nothing more comfortable on a lazy, rainy cool spring afternoon than to kick back and unwind after a hectic week in a pair of well worn ripped  denim jeans and I found the perfect pair at this month's Swank by DS Destiny Style called Destiny Style Jeans Angels.

Mr. X and Heavenly - Glitter and Muse @ Swank

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen

Guarded by an Angel mild:

Witless woe was ne'er beguiled!

And I wept both night and day,

And he wiped my tears away
And I wept both day and night,

And hid from him my heart's delight.

So he took his wings, and fled
Then the morn blushed rosy red.

I dried my tears, and armed my fears

With ten-thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again;

I was armed, he came in vain;

For the time of youth was fled,

And grey hairs were on my head.

Mr. X and Amanda Femme Fatale *New Resun* and Emo-tions

Urban legends, those quintessential incredible stories spawned by fertile imaginations... and sometimes at their core, there is a bit of truth.  It reminds me of this new outfit by Resun called Amanda -- it sure fired up Mr. X's imagination and will spawn a few stories on its own!

I love the way the silk top drapes provocatively down to my upper thighs as the wide cutouts on each side seems to flow on the cool night breeze.  Mr. X loves the sexy way the lace bra peeks out... what a sensual femme fatale tease!  Best of all Amanda is made for  belleza, freya, slink venus, isis, maitreya (worn) mesh bodies. it also comes with a color changing hud that allows you to change the colors of the shirt, panties and bra.

To finish off this look, be sure to pick up the very sexy lace up boots by Resun called Jessica Boots. They are made for   Maitreya (worn), Isis, Slink, Venus, Freya  and classic feet and bodies.

And, speaking of urban legends... a femme fatale is a classic... and is noted as a beautiful, seductive, and sometimes evil female character in drama and literature. She is usually shown as a cruel, man-eating seductress. Men fall victim to her beauty and are eventually brought to ruin by her. It is whispered that a femme fatale is often a secret agent and/or a spy... so Mr. X are you ready to roll with this femme fatale?
