Mr. X and New Ghee - Slouchy Sweater Dress @ Frozen Fair

I told Mr. X there is nothing more cozy than a sweater dress... and Ghee has a gorgeous version of a sweater dress that is an exclusive at the Frozen Fair through December 16.  A sweater dress is basically a longer version of a pull over sweater that typically ends just at the knee...a versatile length that flatters all figures. Best of all the new dress features at Frozen Fair by Ghee is only 99L -- it is half off... and my advice is to go and get it!

I am wearing this mesh sweater dress in  medium... it comes in five sizes and is a bit oversized making it super comfortable.  You can also wear it with  jeans and tall boots or ankle boots... this is so versatile.  The cowl neckline is what makes the Slouchy Sweater Dress a standout.  Cowl necklines are all the rage on winter sweaters --- not only are they stylish but they keep you warm in the cold weather by providing an extra layer of insulation!

Although you can wear a sweater dress many ways, I love pairing the Slouchy Sweater Dress  with the matching leggings sold by Ghee and the gorgeous must have shearling lace up ankle boots that are made for slink and maitreya feet.  I love the way the boots lace up and the cute shearling or sheepskin fold around the top of the boot adding a definite fashion edge to this boot.

The Slouchy Sweater Dress comes in  Clay (worn... I love these colors as they remind me of a warm fire brightening a cold winter's night), river, shark, charcoal, orchid and taupe. The leggings and boots are sold separately and perfect inventory items to mix and match a variety of looks with.  I am in total love with the boots ! So Mr. X, please go to the wine bookcase and...let's crack open a bottle!

Mr. X and Lily and the Magic of Unicorns - *New* Wicca's Wardrobe

Finally I found them...while yet the morning star glowed on the distant horizon...a unicorn... whiter than the blossom of a thorn... silver pale in the silver pale light of dawn... I told Mr. X that all that lives of legends, beauty and magic... mystery, gentleness and purity can be found in his eyes.


And speaking of a find, I have discovered a fabulous new mini dress by Wicca's Wardrobe called Lily Dress Ice.  I love the  double tiered cascading layers of the skirt with their bows as accents. The piping down the front of the dress and at the waistline forms decorative diamonds that adds dimension to this flirty dress.  The corset like bare shoulder bodice is beautifully shaped with princess seams that cannot help but flatter you.
 Most of all, I love the color of Lily Dress Ice... it is a soft, elegant silver ..reminding me of  the magical afternoon I spent conversing with unicorns... something every princess dreams of doing...And, now each night I dream of unicorns flitting through the rising mist -- sleek and slender, smooth and swift. Drop into the shop they are running the monthly midnight madness this weekend!

Lily also comes in Winter.  In this version of Lily the skirt layer is accented in a gorgeous blue that reminds me of ice crystals reflected in a bright blue winter sky just after a snowfall. The bodice has a delicate snowflake pattern that blends beautifully with the tiers of the skirt.  It will make you warm up to winter for sure !

Mr. X and Tiffany -Tres Beau @ RFL & Entertainment

This gown, called Tiffany by Tres Beau  makes me feel like Cinderella at the grand ball... it is that beautiful and is part of the Christmas Expo, RFL that runs through December 12.  Tiffany is an exclusive gown at this year's Christmas Expo  that raises funds for the American Cancer Society -- so when buying it you can feel good about wearing it in more ways than one!
I love the runched empire waistline bodice of this gown in a duponi silk pattern that is grey and raspberry at the same time... depending on how the light hits it. The luxurious chiffon ball skirt in dawn gray swirls and sways as you walk... every eye will be watching you... I know Mr. X cannot take his eyes off me! This gown is for classic bodies.

Mr. X and Celeste * New* Jumo @ Swank

I want to have an elegant evening at home tonight with Mr. X... and what better way to do that than to dress in the opulent new holiday gown by Jumo called Celeste that is an exclusive at the December Swank. This gown is made for regular bodies and comes with a handy alpha layer in five sizes. I am wearing it with my Lara body minus a few alpha layers.

Celeste is made of a fine chiffon full ball skirt that with a gorgeous hand sewn bead work that flows down the front of the skirt in a festive manner.  The bodice is made of the finest of  black velvet and comes with a plunging square neckline that is set off by a lovely belt with a gold belt buckle.

To add to the festive feel and the highlight  of this gown there is a jeweled feather attachment  in the shape of a bird at the shoulder and at the hip adding to the sparkle!  Mr. X likes sparkle this time of year... including sparkling champagne and caviar!


I love the decadent drop earrings that also come with this dress... depending on the color dress you choose... or all four... the earrings are ruby, sapphire, emeralds, amethyst or onyx.  The choice is yours and whatever you choose be sure that you will look dazzling!

RFL Christmas Expo is on... and all is Glitter and Call to All Bloggers

I told Mr. X that the new gown at Christmas Expo by Glitter called  Helena is a must have... it is graceful as the morning  breeze after and reminds me of a beautiful sunrise with it pebbled pink and blue tones... it is elegant... it glimmers and glitters (no pun intended of course)  and best of all... 100% goes to RFL. It is made for classic and mesh bodies.

Helena has a lovely sweetheart neckline and a classic empire waistline that is embellished by a lovely silk sash and a full ball skirt floats dreamily to the ground.  What makes this gown especially delightful is the lovely cape that is attached to this gown... making this a  perfect look for a formal affair... Mr. X likes that.


Glitter also has made a set of ten poses  called Fierce and they are indeed with the best part being 100%  of the proceeds is going to RFL.  So I have an idea, if you are a blogger or photographer or want to start a blog, this is a good time to do it... why not pick up an item at Christmas Expo and enter the "bloggers challenge" !  It goes like this:

Wander the grounds of the SL Holiday Expo and discover a shop you have never heard of before.  Blog about something of theirs that gives you the warm and fuzzies, that captivates and delights you, that you found unique. Find that special holiday gift suggestion.  This is a fantastic opportunity to discover the new or hidden talents in Second Life. Maybe you come across two or three new shops, there is no limit to the number you can blog about. If you find you already know all the shops at the SL Holiday Expo, then choose one that you feel needs more spotlighting.  Remember, this challenge is open to anyone. You do not have to be an official SL Holiday Expo blogger. You do not even have to blog at all.  Please post to  your flickr and the Christmas Expo's Flikr. https://www.flickr.com/groups/2896496@N20/

Mr. X and Winters Eve Guardian Fae *new* BDP Designs @ Fantasy Creme

I told Mr. X that I found a new designer at Fantasy Creme Fair -- Beyond Persuasion Designs (BDP) that is the newest venture of Dragon and Elizabet Skyward. Originally furniture designers for more than two years they have turned their attention to designing clothes for men, women and even petites.  BPD will features the clothing and shoes that reflect Dragon and Elizabet's many sides and reflect their unique taste and custom designs and textures.

Winters Eve Guardian Fae comes in a rich burgundy velvet skirt with an interesting diamond shape pattern pannier at the waistline that is embellished by fine silver hand sewn beadwork adding dimension and elegance to this to this gown that is certainly fit for a princess.  The pannier at the waistline creates the illusion of a bigger hip shape and this style goes back to medieval times.


The full floor length skirt of this gown has white silk accents that glimmer like sunlight on the winter snow and hang from the edges of the diamond pattern pannier.  The sleeves are fur lined in keeping with the medieval style where many clothes were lined with fur. The entire look is complemented by beautiful gossamer wings with an exquisite feather pattern that is delicately enchanting.

The final piece of Winters Eve Guardian Fae is the wonderful Fae horns... beautifully created and come replete with roses and finely wrought chains..... Who wouldn't fall head over heels for the magical outfit that is an exclusive at Fantasy Creme called....Winters Eve Guardian Fae that is made for classic avatars and slink mesh bodies. I wore it with my Maitreya Lara body and after taking off an alpha layer here and there it looked just fine.

So, Mr. X, do you dare to enter the realm of fae's and magic... will you walk with me on an enchanted path... past unicorns and my fellow fairies... mmmmmm I wait..... for your answer.... patiently...... and dream of dancing with you like snowflakes...in a beguiling winter prance...amid joyous songs of love and light...

Mr. X and Deck the Halls New Sage @ Swank

Tis the season as they say and the exclusives at Swank are rolling in! Yay!  And what wonderful winter finds they are like this adorable sweater dress replete with jacket vest by Sage. I am wearing #4 with its cute Christmas Tree and Santa pattern. This version of the dress comes with one pattern and the option to change the pattern of the  dress and or vest. The hud also has about 20 different colors to choose from, you can make the dress and vest a solid or the pattern and change the trim inside and out on this cute dress.

 I have had so much fun with this outfit that is made for all mesh bodies... I am wearing my new Lara body and loving it. Deck the Halls #10 is a great nordic style pattern and comes with four pattern choices and many solid colors.  The hud lets you change the color of the dress and vest -- it can be a pattern or a solid color.  You can also change the inside trim on the vest as well as the outside trim giving you endless possibilities.

Having a sweet tooth and a thing for gingerbread, it was hard to resist Deck the Halls #7 that features gingerbread men. I really loved the muted colors of this option that comes with all the color changing features mentioned above.
So Mr. X, I am by the fire... the hot chocolate is ready, the snow is gently falling... and there is a chair here waiting for you!

Frost is sleek and sexy all at the same time! The skirt is elegantly textured in layers of glimmering crystals that is magical.  The white  cord band at the waist defines this gown and gives it dimension and allure.


What makes this gown really a stand out is the gorgeous jeweled wings done in an elaborate Greek Key pattern that reminds me of ice wings... they are elegant and not overdone... they are perfect making Frost a must have gown for the winter season. Frost also comes with a lovely diamond necklace that adds another layer of elegance to the look.


This gown is far from boring and traditional with its' deep sweetheart cut neckline and alluring winter wings... the skin tight belted bodice and a flowing straight skirt that  falls to the floor.. it will surely catch every eye on the grid.. When my beloved Mr. X saw me  in Frost, he said I melted his heart!

RFL Christmas Expo Dec. 1-12

The RFL Christmas Expo officially opens today.  I will endeavor to bring you a series of tips and sneak peaks to make navigating this event fun and easy... If you like exclusives, the first thing that you should keep in mind is that a special area has been designed for items that are new, exclusive and a limited edition item that is ONLY sold at the Christmas Expo December 1-12. The merchants in this area are showcasing some of their very best work.



The Christmas Expo is featuring a very special exclusive gown called One of A King Gown created by Ever An Angel that is located in the Silent Auction Area of the Christmas Expo.  This gown in  festive green and red is fit for a princess!  The gown is based on Regency novel heroines and this is your chance to step into the fantasy of the novel for a good cause.  As a matter of fact, the first Regency was sold this past Autumn at the Inaugural Spoonful Of Sugar Festival to  Benefit Doctors Without  Borders and  brought in $25 thousand lindens.  That is a "wow" !
