🧙‍♀️ A Bewitching Halloween Look I Love 🎃

Halloween: the one night a year when anything goes, and no fantasy is too far-fetched - ok within reason!!!!. If you’re like me—someone who adores the thrill of costumes and the playfulness of transformation—then you probably have a soft spot for witches. But let’s be real: I thought to myself,  I am in the mood for the “old hag” look to get a makeover. This year, I tossed out the pointy nose and dusted off my fashion sense, conjuring up a whole new spin on the classic witch by S&C Koine Witch Dress, an exclusive at Swank.

Gone are the days, for me at the moment, of tattered robes and questionable broomsticks. Instead, I’m channeling my inner enchantress with a sleek, peek-a-boo lace mini dress that is as spellbinding as it is stylish. It is made for Bombshell, GX Classic, Erika, GX Curvy, Kupra, Perky, LaraX, Legacy, Juciey, Waifu, and  Reborn. It also includes a witch's hat.

And it includes Here’s why this look is absolute magic:

• Delicate lace details along the hemline and neckline add a touch of alluring mystery—think less “swamp hag,” more “mysterious muse.”

• A pattern of crescent moons and pentagrams woven right into the fabric. It’s a subtle nod to the mystical while staying chic and oh-so-contemporary.

Accessories That Cast a Spell

No modern witch would dare venture out without the right accessories. That’s where my carved, cat-like pumpkin earrings come in—purrfectly spooky, irresistibly cute, and guaranteed to bewitch at any party. They are made by SKBW called Pumpkat.... I love them!

And for the grand finale? A WICA-approved BOM tattoo by Lifetime called 0161 Fresh, featuring an adorable witch’s hat and classic Celtic Goddess symbols. Bold, magical, and a conversation starter for every fellow ghoul and goblin you meet.

So whether you’re brewing potions or just brewing up some fun, let this modern witch inspire you to cast a fresh spell this Halloween. Embrace the magic, express yourself, and remember: the best costume is the one that lets your spirit shine.

Vacancy - Dare to feel. Dare to fall in love again with Poison Rouge

Just like the hotel, my heart holds a vacancy. Vacant lately. Craving for a love that lingers past midnight, stays for breakfast, and maybe… forever. It’s especially difficult now. The air is crisper, the daylight shorter. The season itself feels like a metaphor for loneliness—gloomy, quiet, beautiful in a somber way. But tonight, something is different. I dare. Because tonight, I slip into Angela (it was my granma's name for real), a gown of dreams by SL designer extraordinaire Poison Rouge. It caresses my skin like a whisper—the smooth, luxurious silk clings to my curves in all the ways that matter. Sexy, confident, unapologetic.

Angela is no ordinary dress. The silk core is daring, seductive—but it’s the lace that tells my story. Delicate Spanish lace, so intricate, it looks like it was spun from hope and heartbreak. Each stitch proves that beauty can exist even in fragility. Just like my heart. A little frayed. A little fragile. But still beautiful. Still open.

As I stand beneath the "no vacancy" sign, I decide to rewrite its meaning. Maybe it’s the world that isn’t ready for me tonight. Or maybe fate is still figuring out the room arrangement for two. Either way, I’m dressed for destiny. Because this gown—this Angela—is more than fashion. It’s a mantra wrapped in silk and lace: Dare to hope. Dare to feel. Dare to fall in love again. And let’s be honest… what man can resist confidence wrapped in sultry silk and soft femininity? Unspoken vacancies are everywhere… but tonight, I fill mine with courage and couture. Let the next chapter begin.

Wearing Angela is an Exclusive at NEO-JAPAN by Poison Rouge - Available in 5 Textures

Jasmin and Retro Vibe... Sascha's Designs & A & A Hair Beth

Tonight, I’m channeling pure 1950s glam in Sascha’s Designs’ newest outfit: Jasmin, made for larax, legacy, maitreya, reborn waifu, and reborn. It’s got all the elegance, all the romance, and a splash of the greatest generation’s bold spirit. I’m obsessed.  It has an off-the-shoulder look with a puff sleeve and a slim skirt... or if you like, add the grand cocktail skirt -- it speaks volumes and is so much fun to wear. 

Although not advertised as a "mini fat pack," it is because Jasmin also comes in beige... for the red fat pack...  just imagine that you and your love are swaying beneath a crescent moon, wrapped up in old-school romance. Loving a man who loves you back? That’s a vibe—and if you’ve mastered it, spill your secrets!

And the hair  Ali and  Ali  a perfect retro  flip  called Beth... it is a must have  purrfect retro  vibe. ✨ Holding hands at midnight. Two hearts, one beat. How could I ever ask for more? Those memories… Swaying together in the moonlight. Under a crescent moon 🌙 Loving a man who loves you back?  Is that your  dream?
