Mr. X makes a run..... Fresh Styles - Round 13

Mr. X and I made a run for it  before Fresh Styles Round 13 closes and you will too after you see this.... Fell in love with a dress called Saori by YAY  a new designer for me and happy I found her at Fresh Styles -- talk about Geisha Chic.....
I love this sexy sheath styled dress with it's fancy hud that comes with FOUR different texture options... one better than the next and had to pair it with two versions of a Skin called Keiko by October 4Seasons they are  perfect for this vibe and both skin types come with so many options.
 Saori by YAY  is simple and it is stunning... I am really delighted with this hud....makes changing this dress as easy as... chopsticks!

Another great find at Fresh Styles is this fabulous dress by EccentriciXi called Patsy in deep red with an attractive floral inset.  Patsy even comes with matching shoes for slink high feet.  Mr. X loves the retro 50's vibe of this -- a stand out at a sock hop!
I could not resist wearing the artful  garnet necklace wrought in red gold and set with deep garnet earrings created by NSP called Gothmas Dream Weaver in "blood".  This set is available at NSP and also comes with  a crown and arm piece.
Another  new find for me is Posh Pixels -- the dress called "Toxic Candy" is hot no matter which angle you look at it from!  It has a silk leopard inset, a ruffle skirt and spaghetti straps from the front.
From the back, " Toxic Candy" is, well, "eye-candy" for the boys!  Candy comes in blue, green, grey, pink, purple, red (shown), teal and yellow.  Posh Pixels has also created matching fingernails and toes, sold separately in a leopard print.
Red Seduction Booties also made by Posh Pixels completes this very sexy look.  The booties come in all the matching colors and are made for slink high feet. They have super high heels and fancy buckles all the way up the side of the shoe.
So whatever you do, don't miss Fresh Styles and all the designers there -- you won't be sorry!

Blowing off Steam - Wicca's Wardrobe New Release

Mr X said one word to me tonight, "steampunk", and I said "ok"! We love the vibe of that wonderful nostalgic world where modern technology is re-imagined with steam and bolts of Victorian England.

In terms of fashion, steampunk is so much fun to wear with it's elaborate mechanics like the new Aylward Hat, Chester Goggles and Grines Arm Piece by Wicca's Wardrobe.


The elaborate Aylward hat with a pressure gauge (not for blood pressure I suspect), bolts, conductors and wires has been made from scratch, they are all originally created and not made from templates...and oh so cool!

The Chester goggles with one timepiece lense, just because, has an old fashion aviator look to them that Mr. X looks so romantic in.... I love the details of these goggles that are unisex.

Wicca has also made a matching arm piece replete with wires and gadgets and buckles.  The Grines arm piece is easy to size and good for... well, as always, I never kiss and tell!  I told Mr. X let's take flight.... 80 Days Around the World..... sounds like a plan, he told me!

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.

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!

Another style that caught our eye was the Petra Dress by Izzie's Style in black/red.  There are also high heels for slink feet available that match this  cute sheath styled dress with spaghetti straps and sexy buckles.
Mr. X loves the soft black leather and the red details on this dress... that zips up the front... seductive and sweet are the two words he used to describe Petra -- that comes in several colors.

Sister Daybreak and Mr. X --New Skin Sale and New Releases - Poet's Heart





Sister Daybreak is  the hope of a new tomorrow.  She waits for Mr. X in a glen... weaving a spell... how can Mr. X  resist...lingering with the break of day?
The new skin by [7] deadly skins, Beertje is as fresh as a new day with it's pink lips and eye shadow.   [7] deadly skins has announced a new event called [B] UniQue at the main store for the next two weeks and the featured skin is called Beertje.

I love this headpiece called Sister Daybreak by Poet's Heart.  You can wear it with or without the fanciful horns.  And for a demure look, you can wear just the floral headpiece.  The best news is that that this headpiece comes with a hud and 5 colors that allows you to mix and match and change the color of the stones, horns, flowers, strings, circlet and big decoration.

The newly released gown by Poet's Heart called Serenity is all mesh and comes in 9 perfectly shaded colors.  I love the sweetheart top and the shading of this gown that makes it looks alive and vibrant. Nails also by Poet's Heart, called  Winter #1 & 2 and Aura Borealis match the gowns beautifully.

Awake, Mr. X, it is Daybreak... and a new year..... what mischief shall we achieve?

Gown: Poet's Heart:  Serenity - 9 shaded colors mesh
Head Piece: Poet's Heart -  9 Shades with a hud wear as one or in a variety of pieces

Mr. X and Robyn - New Release Sascha Designs & October 4Season Skins Group Gift

Mr. X has left me a beautiful gift -- one of the best gowns to date designed by Sascha's Designs called the Robyn.  This gown has luxurious textures that will dazzle the crowd and so many skirt options that you get many gowns in one -- with one option better than the next.
One thing is for sure...Robyn will turn heads.  The gown has a sweeper version, a full grande gown skirt for those very formal balls, a mermaid skirt and an elegant sleek version. Mr. X loves them all and so do I!

As for colors, they are pure opulence.  Choose from pink, moss, choco, blue, beige, red, purple and gold... or better yet, don't choose at all, just get the fat pack...I did.

The new January Group Skin Gift is available at October 4 Season's and it is fantastic.  It comes in a warm exotic shade with make up that is versatile.

 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.
