Mr. X -- the artist -- and Sascha's New Gem

Mr. X sketches me, as  I wander, languidly in his 15th century French Palace.   I am wearing the new gown by Sascha's Designs called Gem in Creme.

Gem is certainly a gown fit for a princess with formal gloves and a hand hud as well as  what I always call "angel" wings that drape gracefully from mid.-arm.

Sascha knows what ladies in SL like -- variety in gowns  and this "gem" delivers with many options.  Gem comes with three skirt and side skirt styles as well as a sleek skirt and a formal train.

Gem has three different tops, all are embellished with a classic gold  embroidery.  Tops include one with a sweetheart neckline and the other two tops have an added sheer silk neckline, one is plain the other has straps.

Just released by Sascha Designs is Eye make - up called Eyebrow Decorations that come in gold, black, bronze and silver.  They add an additional touch of elegance to this versatile gown.

Monaco & Mr. X new release and gift- Styles by Danielle & Violator

Monaco, home to the glittering  Monte Carlo Casino and Grand Prix racing, Styles by Danielle's elegant pants set is appropriately called Monaco and perfect when  paired with Violator's Neck Whip Collar, it is  fabulous.  And never forget www.finerblack.com for RL, Violator's RL Brand of Jewelry.

Mr. X told me I look ravishing and he can't wait to  explore Monaco with me, maybe I will be  his "lucky charm" !  Shall he roll the dice?

 I love the Monaco top in green as it is matched with a silk the color of skin.  This is so easy to dress up as I did here wearing an updo and the Morning Star Jewelry Set by Finesmith.

Monaco comes as a top and as pants separately. The strapless top has a lace layer over a solid silk background with a hint of the same embroidery on the belt and legs of the slacks.

Monaco comes in black, blue, red, green, sand, pink, alice blue and ivory.  Danielle, always clever allows you to buy this individually or if you prefer the color changing hud then the Majestic option is for you.

Group members get 30% discount and the January group gift is the Monaco top in red.  So Mr. X I am like Juliet waiting for you, Mr. X,  on this gorgeous balcony......  wherefore art thou......

Busy as a Bee Mr. X - new release: ghee

Oh Mr. X, I have the winter doldrums and it is only January!  Mr. X, a simply amazing man, left me a box from ghee... "My  darling Sita, here is something in lemon and cherry sure to cheer you up!"

Mr. X left me  the new release called "Rose Puffball Frock Lemon Cherry" by ghee, (note the busy bee's in this photo) - ghee is busy always making great new designs. This whimsical satin bubble hem puffball cocktail dress in rich lemon and cherry ombre tones will definitely cheer you up too.  This is a sneak peek exclusive as well.

Bubble skirts were first popular at cocktail parties in the 1950's. Yves St. Laurent designed a puffball skirt under his apprenticeship with Christian Dior.  The skirt is folded under at the hem and sewn to the lining gathering the fabric and creating a "puffed" effect.  

This dress also comes with a fabulous  rose hat and veil that is beautifully textured and embellished with artful side florals on both sides.  The hat adds a touch of mystery to this totally elegant look that is as sexy today as it was in the 50's.  So Mr. X.... let's be like bee's and "buzz" around the grid!

 The skin comes with loads of  slink appliers - for legs, hands, torso and even  a cutting edge trend -- eyebrow piercing.  It is a gorgeous  skin that is indeed exotic and very wearable with just about any look you can dream up and come with a sexy  back tattoo that has Mr. X .... flying!

Mr. X and the Keys....Holy Shirt at Sneak Peak

Women today are flocking to tight designer jeans, narrow at the bottom and low at the waist, hoping to accomplish what the gym couldn’t.  "Well, their wallets are thinner," Mr. X mutters!

You, my love,  have never been one to follow the crowd; so I’d like to suggest something different. A new take on the silhouette that made stars like Harlow and Hepburn lankier, leggier.  Yes, wide-legged pants in denim by Holy Shirt with their high waistline and gold chain belt... sweet. Smiling Mr. X, asks, “Hmm, you look taller, somehow; new hairdresser?”

And to set off the entire look is a fabulous bustier with a zipper right up the front... oh la la!  I spotted the original in Paris, where they know a few things about flattering the female form and now in Florida Keys.... Let's go ......  on an adventure......after all the bikes are leopards and zebra prints.... catch me if you can!

Mr. X and a very late lunch Holy Shirt's new releases...

She gets up around noon and does whatever it is that she does...before shopping.... Mr. X always wonders.  When she shows up late, it's late.

But, what an entrance in this new release by Holy Shirt simply called "Shirt Dress".  It comes in  argyle, red, black, blue and in a rose pattern all come with a matching heart shaped purse.

I love the way the tones have contrasting sleeves, collars and hemlines, it is such a distinctive touch.  I have paired this with Holy Shirt's "Dolly boots"  they are hip and complete this gorgeous retro ensemble.

Ok Mr. X... not hanging by the telephone much longer ... the after holiday sales have begun........

2015 - A Pleasant Surprise - Masoom @ Sneak Peek and Muse @ Genre

Last night the clock struck 12 and today is a new year... and what better way to start off the new year than by picking up a new cocktail dress in white silk at Sneak Peak by Masoom called Pleasant Surprise.  I can't think of a better way to start off the New Year... can you?

I love the cascading layers of this dress and the wide bow that accentuates my waist.... I left Mr. X a notecard and told him I was gift wrapped just for him!  Pleasant Surprise is an exclusive at Sneak Peek through January 5.

What I didn't realize is that Mr. X, knowing I am an Egyptophile, left me a most wonderful package from Muse... I felt like Howard Carter when opening this absolutely stunning jewelry set called Ma'at-ka-Ra Full jewelry set that is an exclusive for the Genre Event.

The set comes with two arm bracelets for men and women, earrings, a headpiece, a traditional Wesekh collar for men and women and an ornate nose ring that goes from your ear to your nose.  It is really easy to resize so wearing this is a breeze!

This set is expertly  rendered in the finest 18 kt. gold hand wrought loops embellished with the finest Persian turquoise.   There is great historic meaning to this necklace.  Hatshepsut Ma'at-ka-Ra was the first female pharaoh of Kemet. She reigned between 1650-1600 BC during the 18th dynasty. Ma'at-ka-Ra means 'Truth/Order/Balance ("Ma'at") and the Spirit/Double ("ka") of Ra'. Hatshepsut means 'Foremost of Noble Women'  I know for me, it will become a go to favorite necklace.

New Year and Mr. X - New releases by Heart Homes and Jumo @ Sneak Peek

New Year and resolutions... I asked Mr. X if he had any and he scoffed at me because he believes you should continually try to better yourself and be "nice" to people every day not just on New Year's Day.

Sitting around the new Candlelight Dinner Set by Aphrodite at Heart Homes we wondered just how the tradition of New Years Resolutions began.

This table comes with a 5 step menu of options from rezzing plates, lights, hats and even tiara's (just touch the New Year's sign by the champagne) to turning the lights on and off.  And, because it is Aphrodite at Heart Homes, the dinner is delicious and romantic!

As for resolutions, the earliest recorded were traced to the ancient Babylonians that made promises to return stolen objects and pay their debts.  The Romans made promises to Janus, in medieval times knights took a "peacock" vow... and the this tradition has continued through the centuries......So Mr. X what will you New Year's resolution be?  We  want to know.

Since I am in a festive mood, I am wearing Jumo's exclusive cocktail dress called Khanna Outfit in Lavender (it comes in many jewel tone colors.  This dress is brilliantly embellished  with jewels and an applique of flexi plumes that scream Happy New Year!

Khanna comes with a gorgeous diamond necklace and earrings as well as divine High High High heels for slink high feet -- of course!

Sneak Peek is Open! Exclusive by Zibska and Mr. X

Take a SNEAK PEEK  at the list of great designers along with a full preview of what’s in store for you this round that begins Dec. 25 and runs through Jan. 5. Wandering around Sneak Peek, with Mr. X, I could not resist this fanciful dress called Caja by Zibska.

This sheath mini dress, called Caja comes with a lavish feather collar sure to keep you cozy in the coldest times...and the short skirt is sure to heat things up!

Style will matter today, I announce boldly to Mr. X.  And, Caja has a convenient hud that comes with  a choice of nine unique jewel tone colors to choose from making it fun to mix and match.

And, yes, it it's all about the silk. How it feels against your skin in the cold winter air. Remember when you always use to dress in it?  Or how you adored a choice of bold colors? Taking sides?  Remember those nights when you were closer to those friends that sometimes drank too much and said too much (but were always fun)?

I have paired Caja with a new shoe release by Wicca Merlin called Carrie Heels - Winter Edition.  The heels  comes with a handy color changing hud offering 5 shoe colors and a variety of heel and metal accents to choose from.

Mr. X Lingers with Brilliant by !Lyrical B!zarre

Wonderful. Terrifying.  Possibly clairvoyant. The Snow Queen turns you to ice with a mere glance...and smiles when you cannot move. Oh yes.

Regal in this lavish new gown appropriately named Brilliant by !Lyrical B!zarre, it is available December at Courier Docks. There are only 50 copies of this exclusive and at 50% off!  This is a must have gown because it is perfect for any formal occasion.

Mr. X loves the Elizabethan lace collar and is reminded that the clear eyed Snow Queen knows more than she really wants to and never lets on.  The pearl and ruby head piece is an impeccable addition to this look that is haute with a historic vibe.

The sides of Brilliant are like waves of festive ribbon candy that flow with the cold north wind warming Mr. X and encouraging him to linger longer in the Snow Queens frozen realm.
