Shipshape in Witchcraft and DS @ SOS

I love to look ship shape and adore retro/vintage styles.  Mr. X found a great outfit at SOS, a benefit for Doctors without Borders called Ari Dress by [Witchcraft]  that is a must-have.  It is perfect for a sock hop, a retro sim or a casually cool day or night out. Itis sassy and sweet just like me, or so Mr. X tells me

The nautical inspiration in fashion has endured over many decades and was made popular in the 1940s and has gone through a cool retro vibe today.  Interestingly enough the influence of sailor garb on us landlubbers' is attributed to Queen Victoria.  Back in 1846, Queen Victoria had a sailor suit made for her son Albert Edward, Prince of Wales to wear aboard the Royal Yacht!  Eventually, this style made its way to high society ladies in the 18th and 19th century and it continually evolved.  There have been so many reincarnations of the seafarer's style starting with Chanel and reinvented by many top designers - Westwood, Gaultier, Lauren and many others.

I fell in love with the cross-generational timeless nautical-inspired style by [Witchcraft) that is an exclusive at SOS.  It includes a cute mid-length skirt with distinctive brass buttons and a boat-necked shirt with a sailor collar and tie.  Ari is made for slink and Maitreya mesh bodies.  I love the red and white color pattern that makes me look and feel shipshape!  I also love the back of the top that ties in a neat bow!

I paired Ari with the lipgloss by DS that comes in six colors and can be worn by catwa and lelultuka mesh heads and classic heads. I love every shade offered.   Best of all this lipstick and eyeshadow sold separately is 100% donation.

I am honored to be part of SOS that raises funds for Doctors without Borders. In this blog, I am featuring two of the offerings the first is a fabulous skirt and top called Innocence one of three exclusives @ SOS by Luxe Paris and two are 100% donations.

 I love the translucent bell sleeves of this snazzy midriff top with their satin cuffs and ruffle around the neckline.  The maxi skirt is elegant and the pattern is an intricate blend of lace and cotton, perfect for a boho look.

Best of all when you purchase Innocence Luxe Paris is donating 100% of the proceeds to SOS).  Innocence is made for mesh, belleza, slink and  Maitreya mesh bodies.

I have paired Innocence with Heartsdale BoHo Chic earrings and necklace. I love the multicolored beads that are embellished by silver rings on a black leather necklace.  The cute drop earrings match the necklace perfectly. The boho chic set is perfect for a casual morning, afternoon or evening out.    am also wearing the softly realistic slightly shimmering lipstick from DS, another exclusive at SOS.  This lipstick called BoHo Chic  Lipgloss comes in six kissable colors and is compatible with classic heads as well as letuka and catwa mesh heads.  DS also is offering eyeshadow that I will be wearing in another blog!

Mr. X & the Sexy Pirate !!SMD!! Pirate Outfit @ I Love Role Play

Mr. X ... And now, upon those murky restless seas-- do you remember me weeping on the shore as you left?  I am convinced that we are eternally doomed to rove evermore -- in search of each other...  languishing on a long forgotten shore.  This is an exclusive @ I Love Role Play and is called Buccaneer Celeste Dress in Black

I love this new roleplay Pirate called outfit called Buccaneer Celeste Dress by !SMD! that is exclusive and must have @  the Role Play event this month. This outfit is loaded look at the gorgeous corset and the fabulous stripped skirt...  and the sexy yo ho --ho--  The boots and dress and leggings are made for regular mesh, Maitreya and slink mesh.  It is so easy and such a pleasure to wear.

Mr. X almost fainted when he saw these sexy with high laced boots, with the gold rivets and buckles in pure pirate style... they will be so cool with so many outfits!

Indigo heavens turn to ink... it reminds me of a pewter sword with a slice of silver light that turns to gold... like the treasure we seek.  I hear the pipes play and smell the smoke of tobacco glow,  I know about the ebb and flow and drink of you in my arms in this lonely night.

Mr. X @ Dia De Los Muertos - irrISIStible @ Swank

It was shadowy and dripping wet in the forest this late in the day. No birds called. No animals rustled in the undergrowth. All I could hear was the steady dripping of rain on leaves and flowers. Do you smell it... that wonderful aroma of spring woods in the evening after a rainstorm, wet bark, pine needles, the subtle fragrance of pecan trees and dogwoods underscored by the musky fragrance of wet leaves.  In this outfit by irrISIStible , I feel like the Witch of Southern Nights...remembering all those that went before me on Dia De Los Muertos...the Mexican Holiday known as Day of the Dead.

I love the detail in this outfit called, Purple Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) that is an exclusive at this month's Swank. It is made for fit mesh bodies and also comes with easy to use appliers for belleza, slink and mairtreya mesh bodies. It comes with a special ivory based skin for classic, maitreya, belleza, slink, and has omega appliers as well. The skirt comes in two versions, long and short.

I love the fact that it comes with a marvelous headpiece and hair that really compliments it. Also included are a matching necklace, spine flowers, a collar, and arm bracelets that are so elegantly colorful and traditional at the same time.  This is a must-have outfit especially if you plan on celebrating the Day of the Dead in November!

Mr. X and Evanthe @ Swank & Jumo

Moonlight filtered between sheer curtains...a gust of wind blew around the cliffs, the smell of leaves and dogwood blossoms, cloves and cinnamon... do you remember?  Tonight, I dream heaven... especially in this new sexy outfit by LIZ called Evanthe that is this month's Swank exclusive.

I love the look of lace and silk skirt and the fabulous sequined crop top with a pattern that is so intricate and shiny.  Evanthe made for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza is just that. Best of all it comes in four color options -- I am feeling monochromatic and loved the black and white and silver look of this...so does Mr. X...

Mr. X told me I looked as though I was stepping out of a dream wearing this... and perhaps, I would prefer to step into his dream... or perhaps be part of yours... my faithful readers of the mysteries of Mr. X....
