Spoonful of Sugar - Son!a, Heartsdale and Dulce Secrets for Doctors without Borders

Anything can happen. Audrey Hepburn was the third choice behind Elizabeth Taylor and Jean Simmons for “Roman Holiday.” Can you imagine it with anyone else? In 1913, Donerail won the Kentucky Derby at 91–1 odds. It’s still the record. Life is most unexpected.  In this, you might be that very thing, the exclusive @ SOS by Son!a Myriam which they don’t expect.

Son!a Myriam is made of exceptional silk and is open around the midriff with clusters of beads on the on the bodice and is embellished by a cluster of flowers at the waistline. Son!a Myriam comes with a color changing hud for the beads and flowers making it fun to mix and match and is made for maitreya and slink mesh bodies.

Son!a Myriam has two skirts, one is long, and the other is sultry and short.  Long or short, Son!a Myriam is a perfect outfit to frolic in -- at a ballroom, in a nightclub or even in a meadow...or at an event @ SOS --- so much is going on, make sure to check it out.  

Best of all, Son!a Myriam looks as good from the back as it does from the front, the attention to detail and the beautiful texture work makes this an instant go-to classic.

I have paired Son!a Myriam with two other SOS finds.  The first are the gorgeous drop earrings that come with a color changing hud by Heartsdale Designs called Verona (necklace not worn).  The second find is by Dulce Secrets and is the gorgeous eye makeup and lipstick is made for classic, catawa and letluka mesh heads; it also comes with omega appliers.  Best of all it is 100% donation to SOS.

Sonatta Morales @ Spoonful of Sugar Event thru Sept. 30

Sonatta Morales is the top designer for authentically designed women's vintage clothing (hair and other accessories too) on the grid. Her designs are classically timeless.  It is no surprise that Sonatta is participating in  Spoonful of Sugar because she is a generous and wonderful woman and friend.  Thank you for participating Sonatta... we at SOS, a cause that helps to fund Doctors without Borders greatly appreciate your donations.   The first dress by Sonatta that is part of SOS is a 50's smash called Laurel.

Wearing   Laurel you will feel like a Diva on the red carpet -- it is so glamorous.  Like most  50s dresses this one comes down to the knee and is made of the finest damask.  Black was the most popular color for cocktail dresses back then which became known as "little black dress."   I have paired this outfit with another gorgeous find at SOS by Captivating appropriately called Charisma.

The beauty of 50s cocktail dresses is in the design of the pleating.  Most dresses had a wide sash band in the same material as the dress and was embellished with an evocative design made from glass beads.   Laurel hits all the high notes and is the ideal 50s cocktail dress!   Laurel is made for slink, venus, venus, ebodies and maitreya mesh bodies

Canlan is another offering by Sonatta Morales at SOS.   This long gown embraces the Art Deco period of the 1930s that shows off your beautiful curves with style.  Canlan is long, sleek and sexy.   Art Deco designs were inspired by Grecian and Egyptian goddesses and this gown is authentically decorated with fabulous rhinestones in a geometric pattern all the way down the center of this gown.

Canlan is made for maitreya, fit mesh, slink, freya, tmp and venus bodies.  Wearing this classic gown will become your secret weapon.. because vintage is vogue and you will feel and be treated like a starlet--- think Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, and Marlene Dietrich.

Heart Homes @ Swank - Circle of Friends & Margot by Wild

What could be better than an interactive table set by Aphrodite @ Heart Home called Circle of Friends that is an exclusive @ Swank.   There are so many fun interactive features (as always)  and a series of single poses for men and women and couples poses perfect for that afternoon cuddle!  This set created by Heart Homes is made for a maximum of four couples or eight friends, or a mix of couples and friends.  You can also use this set alone or for two or three friends or two couples, bottom line, this set is for eight peeps.

There are so many features. Simply sit on the benches and then pick your role and pose, each bench is loaded for single and couples pose for two.  You can also change the texture of the bench and pillows, the umbrella on the table and the table base.  There are four textures to choose from for each.

And, that table... it is such a gorgeous table setting, the attention to detail is amazing.  As always Heart Home has not missed a detail, there are napkins, complete place settings, and even flowers -- it is simply festive.  In addition to the poses props are included -  you can eat, drink a cocktail or hot chocolate and even play the guitar!  Just ask for them, accept them and when you stand or change the pose they will auto detach and vanish.  I love the guitar... it is so cool.   This set also has a feature called Experiences. If you have the newest Firestorm or Linden Lab viewer, you find the feature under "About Land" -> Experiences.  Press "Add", then enter "Avsitter".. it shows you the Avsitter that's the pose-engine made by Code Violet. Press OK.

I am wearing another Swank Exclusive called Margot by Wild.  I love the top that billows in the wind.  It is made for slink, belleza and maitreya bodies and comes with a texture changing hud that includes lavish tropical floral patterns, animal skin patterns, and solid colors that are bright and eye-catching.

The mid-length jeans that are also included in this set can be worn with so many tops.  They are a must have because they will be so useful and can be combined with so many outfits.  The silver studded details on the pockets make these jeans easy to dress up or dress down in an elegant style.  The jeans come with a six-color changing hud and are made for belleza, maitreya and slink mesh bodies.

Spoonful of Sugar (Dr. without borders) - Zibska and BPd Notte dimenticata

There are so many great finds for a fabulous cause @ SOS that runs through Sept. 30.   The sale from these two designers -BPd Notte dimenticata and Zibska will donate 100% of all sales to Spoonful of Sugar that helps to fund Doctors without Borders.  I adore this goth-inspired sheath styled dress by BPd Notte dimenticata called Ann that is an exclusive @ SOS.   I love the mysterious woman on the front of this dress, the drop shoulders and the leather lace-up upper sleeves.

The detail in Anna is just fantastic it even comes with a gothic choker that enhances this look that can be worn in the goth style or at a rock club... whatever way you wear it, all eyes will be on you!  Anna is made for slink, TMP, Venus, ebody, and Maitreya bodies.  Anna by BPd Notte dimenticata is 100% donation to SOS and is a must-have.  Thank you for your generosity!

The eyeshadow I am wearing called Altro comes in 21 shades and is made for catwa, lelutka heads and comes with Laq and omega appliers. The eyeshadow is so cool and dramatic and can be worn with so many looks.   The hair is by Emo-tions who is a  Raffle Sponsor of SOS...not this hair, but they are a sponsor.   Thank you Zibska and Emo-tions for your generosity to SOS.

The earrings are also by Zibska and are called Altro Earrings... not worn (yet) is a  headpiece.  The earrings are 100% donation and come with a 21 color changing hud allowing you to change the drop earrings and the jewels.  Drop earrings that are simple and elegant are so useful and can be worn with so many looks.

Mr. X and Aura - DE and Letituier @ SWANK

Paris, the city of light and love.  Its streets are lined with gorgeous rivers, luscious green parks, huge medieval cathedrals, outdoor cafes and of course the Eiffel Tower.  TonightI stroll the romantic cobblestone streets looking for that special cafe where I will meet Mr. X for some evening delight!  I decided to wear Maxmara by DE Boutique... it is as sexy as it is chic...and Mr. X likes that.

Maxmara is made for mesh bodies and comes with a color changing hud. I was in a red mood tonight, and it is such a gorgeous shade of red, all shades in the hud are!  I love the midriff top with it gorgeous ruffles and deep V neckline. It creates quite a first impression... and one that is unforgettable. I like that.  Pick it up at this month's SWANK event -- it is an exclusive not to be missed.

I have paired Maxmara with another Swank exclusive called Aura by Letituier -- I mean who can resist these long lavish curls that are ravishing.  Ladies, it is time to embrace curls and they are trending in 2018. Mr. X loves these wild, undulating curls, that he tells me dreams are made of.  I love the unusual hair created by this designer.  Aura is mesh hair and fabulously created -- it is available in many huds and makes me feel like a princess with these long curls!

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.
