Princess Perpetua, Muse and Mr. X

Tonight I go to the secret grotto... in search of the oracle... I am poor Princess Amethyst --  of ashes and crowns gained and lost...In my darkest hours I wear Perpetua by TWA in Ash and the matching  *new*  Muse  Royal Perpetua Burnished Bronze crown, earrings and ring set with amethysts with a color changing gem hud. Do  you remember... my problem... and should  I  ask the oracle what to do... she is  the light.

This is serious as the empire is at stake and I have so many choices to make... the bronze crown or the golden or the silver...Muse has made  three opulent choices all with color changing huds and all as alluring as the oracle... do you think she will show herself and tell me what I must ask Mr. X to do?

Oh great  goddess mother... I  beg you to appear as your celtic daughter that needs your wisdom and kindness... I will bring you gifts of all manner... and ..... I think I see her... do you?  Perhaps she will be the kind goddess and .... Yes! and Yes! again...she appears and I  have all my answers... now I know what to do....

In this long night I await --- soft footsteps and then...  the world is set right again... as the oracle has told me..I count the grains of the sand on the beach and I hear the voiceless...I see the stars in his eyes and I understand  the impossible is... possible....

Ghee @ FAD and Rehana Mocha - October 4 Seasons

Mr. X took me on an excursion to the House of the Tragic Poet, a typical 2nd century BC Roman House in Pompeii.

We marveled at the exquisite mosaic tile floors and lusty frescoes on the walls. We admired the vestibule floor that was decorated with a mosaic of a domesticated dog. Then we went on to FAD a new fashion venue.

I am wearing the new flirty skirt and top by ghee called Portia Magnolia.  It is an exclusive at FAD.  I love the flowing skirt and cutout top with it's artful inset of floral fabric.  Check out the fabulous matching heels -- oh la la with their ribbon lace ups and fun hud to mix and match!  Ghee has even created matching nails.

This  new skin  just released by October 4 Seasons called Mocha Rehana... it is a warm chocolate skin that is luscious with its sprinkling of freckles and sweet kissable sensual lips. Mocha comes with all the appliers plus four make- ups as well as a natural skin to choose from.  Special sexy tattoos are a bonus!

OMG MR. X reminded me -- ghee even offers a satchel perfect for shopping with an easy to use hud that matches the shoes perfectly. I like that! Portia also comes in sunflower, lily & silver all gorgeous.

Mr. X and the First Saturday in July in Sascha's New Cocktail Dress

I told Mr. X  I have to skip the evening party with the Governor.  Of course... Mr. X said, of course, -- I can't picture you in that gorgeous dress by Sascha's Designs called Claire standing in line for cheese and crackers... yes budgets are tight -- wonders where the caviar is!

Mr. X, let's slip out  to the city bar that overlooks Manhattan -- can't you see me in the city lights sipping.... let me think,  a "Manhattan"?  I slipped on this gorgeous new silk and gold thread embroidered cocktail dress that comes in peach, lemon, purple, pink, cherry and fuscia. I love the lavish gold thread pattern

In this  cocktail dress with it's deep cut V neckline and it's three versions of skirts from layered to straight and sensual to flouncy and flirty... I cannot help but look crisp, confident and yours.

Mr. X my only question is... will you get me a refill and shall we tango into the wee hours of the morning?

Eye of the Dawn & MVW - Styles by Danielle & Events@1st& MissSL

Indonesia...  Bali, the word means "eye of the dawn" -- how romantic is that -- it is like a new beginning -- always... it reminds me of each day I see Mr. X... always new and so very dear.  Dewi Sri, is the goddess of life and love and rice in Indonesia -- she reigns in Hindu Bali... it is where Mr. X and I shall meet and dance on water to the sound of the gamelan.  Dewi Sri has dominion over the underworld and the moon and she is revered.

Danni Plassitz CEO of Styles by Danielle has created a gorgeous silk masterpiece, appropriately called Dewi Sri that is based on a Balinese traditional dress for Miss SL 2015 Indonesia - Mio Linette. It has layers of silk that is artfully draped and perfectly textured. As with nearly everything in Bali, dress has a divine origin and this gown is divine indeed; and -  fit for a queen or princess.

A traditional  Legong dancer has her torso wrapped in a sabuk (sash) that can be up to 15 metres in length and the lower body is wrapped in a 2 meter cloth that is extremely tight creating a beautiful silhouette. The  decorations are always made with heavy gold thread and gold printed patterns. Danni has created a gorgeous flowing skirt that exemplifies this.

As for the headpiece it an exclusive from Events@1st by Astralia called Geisha.  It comes with an ornate headpiece, bracelet and ring.  It also comes with a handy resizer making it easy to wear.

So Mr. X... shall we dance on moonlight to gamelan?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmlAZxha8Pw

Mr. X & Chiffon, Almond & Ghee & New Gift Skin October 4 Seasons

If there was ever a cake to have a rag to riches story, a Marilyn Monroe type Hollywood discovery it is the chiffon cake, a light cake with a delicate crumb that resembles an angel food cake but is richer. Created in 1927 by Harry Baker, a "hobby chef" this cake whose secret ingredients he kept to himself for decades rose faster than the stardom of Lana Turner. After trying 400 recipes to improve on the angel cake, he used vegetable oil rather than butter or shortening in his recipe and the chiffon cake was born.  It  was sought by the high rollers of Hollywood and beyond.

Mr. X and I may not be high rollers but in this new chiffon colored gown by ghee called Ophelia, I feel like a starlet.  In addition to chiffon, Ophelia comes in dove, almond and moss.  Matching fringe top or strappy heels are sold separately and are a must have.
I feel light and airy in Ophelia "chiffon" with it's sexy bodice and lace trimmed bra top. In this outfit  --- you just dress the part -- think Lana and make a grand entrance, you will be noticed.

Another find in chiffon is this classic A-line dress in a muted floral pattern. I love the delicate side seams that add a touch of sophistication -- this is an iconic look that has been turning heads for years.

Speaking of turning heads, October 4 Season Skins has just released the June Skin  Gift called Summer Beach.   I love the soft golden summer glow of this lightly freckled skin (Mr. X loves those) with its soft sunkissed lips and evocative eyes.  So if you are not a member... this is definitely the month to become one. The skin comes loaded with appropriate appliers.

There is an evocative celtic inspired  low belly tattoo and a long tattoo down the back... that is pure summer fun...Mr. X I can hear the tropics calling.....

Mr. X and Marika- New Release by Resun

I told Mr. X it is sometimes easy to dress the part of a sexy and sophisticated fashion diva...and Resun's new cardigan and mini skirt called Marika makes this easy.

I love the softer than silk look of Marika with its realistic wrinkled tight mini skirt that hugs my hips just so and the accent belt that is a great touch.  This low cut skirt even lets my pixie tattoo that comes with this great skin - Rehana Auburn peek out.

The lettuce leaf lace of the asymmetrical  jacket is so eye catching making you feel beautiful with every step you take.  As for me, I feel red carpet ready in Resun's  Marika! This comes with a convenient color changing hud featuring 9  colors in all primary shades.

Mr. X & the Abode of Love - Wicca Merlin's new release

Mr. X told me about the gardens of Shalimar whose name in Sanskrit means abode of love.  Built for Nur Jahan (light of the palace) it is an oasis of true beauty that overwhelms. Tonight, I plan to overwhelm Mr. X in this new jumpsuit called Nuella by Wicca's Wardrobe as we explore this ancient landscape.

Nuella is fresh, flirty and fun, in a retro vintage way that makes it a must have for summer.  I love the sharp seams that add shape to the top and the way the waist breaks into pleated legs with a tapered silhouette.

The romance of flowers!  I love the soft colors of this vintage inspired floral texture of this sleeveless jumpsuit with its delicate midriff silken accent and casual scarf at the neck.  The square cut low back adds notes of distinction to Nuella.

 Shalimar has a subtle air of leisure and repose, it casts a romantic indefinable spell, Mr. X and I wander through this leafy garden of dim vistas and pavilions, past smooth sheets of falling water and wide canals whose calm reflections are broken by the stepping stones across the streams.

Mr. X and warm weather drama - New gifts from Violator

I told Mr. X that warm weather makes me sizzle in the summer...and makes me crave drama and neon bright colors like... fuschia..something striking and bold like the new group gift from Violator called PretaPorter Moonlight in Purple.

Moonlight is pure artistry with it's cascades of exotic flowers carefully crafted and dramatically placed... making me feel like a hothouse of desire in full bloom...Mr. X just can't get enough of that vibe!

The jewelry, Down Cross in Platinum comes replete with chest, mouth and belly piercings, choker, earrings, feather like eyelashes and even jeweled eye make up.  This is also a group gift and can be worn with many looks.  I love the shapes and textures of all these very unique pieces.

Mr. X and Dreams of Africa - Nya@ Events@1st

One night as Mr. X and I watched the sun set, I asked him if he thought zebras were white with black stripes or black with white stripes.  Mr. X told me it is an age old question with an answer that delves into genetics and selective pigmentation that creates their striking coat.  Speaking of striking, a great new shopping event -- has just "struck" the grid --Events@1st.  Here you will find deals on exclusive items before they hit the grid.

Mr. X and I went on a "shopping safari" there and found this new dress by Nya called Beach Dress.  I love the casual flow of this dress with its overlapping top and spaghetti style straps. It comes in a yellow pattern as shown and in a "scuba" pattern that is a melage of blues and aqua.

This cute dress comes in a variety of opulent patterns, I loved the almond pattern that reminds me of Ikats that are highly collectible textiles found in Southeast Asia.

Beach Dress also comes in three lovely pastel colors that are just delightful for a long summer night.  The colors include custard, light pink and coral. The solids have an artful stitched embellishment that adds a touch of elegance, Mr. X likes that!

Pretty in Pink & Mr. X !Lyrical B!zzare @ Sneak Peek

Summer is coming and I told Mr. X I just can't wait!  I love the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand...a pitcher of sangria on the veranda...a quarter moon shining like an opal on the water.

!Lyrical B!zzare has created an exclusive for Sneak Peek called Luanne and it is perfect to wear on an idyllic summer day. I love the cut of this midriff top in a rich almost marbled tie-dye pink texture.

The maxi skirt will take you from the beach to the wine bar  with its graceful shape, swishy swing and the shapely side insets that pick up the texture of the top and tie this outfit together.

I have paired this with the new cuff bracelets called Freya Majestic for regular and for slink hands by Styles by Danielle. They are so well done with their graceful swirl.  Best of all these cuffs come with a color changing hud making it fun to mix and match them with a countless number of outfits.
