Mr. X and Lady MacAlister of Sky Crate @ MEDIEVAL FAIRE May 19-June 18

The MEDIEVAL FAIRE is in full swing and there are so many exclusives at great prices it makes my head swim with joy!  There is everything here from furniture to accessories and clothes. Speaking of clothes I found two of the most elegant tartan gowns created by  Fenn MacMoragh owner of MacMoragh's Forge that are perfect for medieval roleplay or for any formal event. And, for men there are kilts...! Fenn MacMoragh has been creating in SL for over six years. It started with a pair of boots, then he needed a new kilt, and. of course he wanted a sword...needless to say, he just kept on building!

The first gown is Lady MacAlister of Sky Crate. It is made for classic bodies -- I have adjusted my mesh Lara body and it is stunning on me.  I love the tight fitting bodice that has eyelets and laces up the front accentuating your figure in the best of medieval style. The open front overdress of the gorgeous tartan of the MacAlister Clan reveals a classic gold silk chemise that makes this authentic.

The second exclusive dress is called Lady Murray. A wheat colored linen blouse and superbly cut bodice in a beautiful teal/green color has eyelets that lace  up the front giving you that perfect hourglass shape... Mr. X loves that! The over gown is made of a high quality classic tartan pattern that has a traditional  chemise that any lassie would be happy to wear.

Mr X and Allium by Ghee Exclusive at Designers Showcase through 5/31 & Jumo Hair

I love thoughtful understatement. And Mr. X loves the classically feminine look. We both love summer frocks that  knock it out of the park and are good to go to almost any event from a casual dinner party to a night dancing under the stars.

The new dress and shoes by Ghee called Allium it is sold exclusively at the Designers Showcase through May 31.  It is so stylish and elegant -- and comes in 8 gorgeous custom colors - matching shoes are sold separately.  Allium is made for Freya, Slink, Isis, Lara, and Venus mesh bodies.  The pumps are made for bellezza, slink & maitreya high mesh feet.

Many of Ghees outfits are mix and match and inspired by nature.  The plant in RL called Allium is  in the onion family and has a glorious globe that crowns a graceful stem. Like  the plant, this dress comes in  the same colors of the globe- pink, white, yellow, blue and purple in addition to black... and it is stunning! The hair is a new style from Jumo called Kristen

 I love the way the pattern of the allium embellishes the dress and the way the one shoulder top with it's cute ruffle adds an unexpected edge to the classic skirt of this outfit.  It is perfect for a summer ramble and is sure flood your inbox with invitations!

Mr X and Chi @ Swank

How I love a trip to the fair....  there is a certain romance to the smell of cotton candy and the up and down motion of a ferris wheel...  I found the perfect mini dress that is an exclusive Swank called Yarkarta by Chi that is made for mesh bodies.

Yarkarta comes with gladiator lace up sandals a massive color changing hud that matches the  dress.  The boots are made for slink and maitreya high feet and are a must have with 20 colors!

Ch's  exclusive dress Yarkarta  is made of skin tight curves hugging silk with an amazing hud. You can change the color of the dress with a hud that combines 20 solid and pattern colors in total.  The patterns range from leopard and abstract prints to  floral textures.  The hud also allows you to  can change the metal of the neck chains and harness.  Mr. X really adores the way the side of this dress laces up my thighs... what I like, best is the mix and match color changing hud --- that provides endless hours of possibilities and I love surprising Mr. X!

Mr. X and Constance Stanbury *NEW* !!SMD!!

It is the 1850s. At the mouth of the Baltic lies the gilded city of Saint-Petersburg, lined with ornate palaces and home to the Romanov dynasty. And, !!SMD!! has made the most beautiful 18th century Rococo styled gown called Constance Stanbury in the finest courtly fashion to explore any 18th century SL sim.

Constance Stanbury is made in the finest 18th century Rococo style with a tobe a la francaise consisting of a jupe (skirt), stomacher and low cut ruffled bodice with marked waist and flowing loose hanging back folds, called Watteau folds. This gown is made of light silk taffeta and damask -- historically it came in soft pastels such as this lovely purple or pink that I am wearing.  This gown also comes in blue, black and white, red and teal and is made for Slink and Maitreya Mesh bodies.

The hat is an artful display of lace, flowers and feathers... perfect for a proper lady in the 1880's!  The hair I have on is no longer made although may be available on MP.

Imagine walking the historic streets of this fabulous city. Known as the Venice of the North the wide avenues and grand neo-classical styled buildings are amazing. Nevsky Prospekt is St Petersburg's best known street cutting through the historic center from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station then on to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Palaces, cathedrals, theatres grace the streets all leading to the magnificent Winter Palace.
