Shake Your Shamrocks with Sage @Swank! Plus Aphrodite @ Heart Homes and Emotions

St. Patrick’s Day, also referred to as the feast of St. Patrick, is celebrated every 17th of March in remembrance of the first patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick and it is around the corner.  This day’s celebrations involve the wearing of green shamrocks, festivals, parades and the consumption of alcohol... even green beer!  With that in mind I went to Swank in Search of a new outfit to wear for my St. Patrick's Day Mini Party Set from Aphrodite @ Heart Homes and I found the perfect outfit by Sage @ Swank!

I love this new outfit by sage with's its tight jeans and cute tank top that comes in a variety of colors.  I particularly liked Lucky Jeans and Tank Top # 7 uncommon... I mean who wouldn't like to be "Magically Delicious"!!!

Lucky Jeans # 6 is cute too with its giant shamrock on the front of the tank top!  All of these outfits come with a color changing hud that allows you to change the trim on the tank top and on the jeans... so you can mix and match with the click of a button.

I also love #10, I think it is my favorite...after all... I can't wait to see Mr. X and "Shake my Shamrocks... or better yet... his !  I have paired this with the new short bob cut with its asymmetrical bangs by Emo-tions called Mirella... I love the look. As with all of Emo-tions hair this comes with hair base appliers for catwa, lelutka and omega mesh heads as well as classic heads.

The set is from Aphrodite at Heart Homes and is the Mini St. Patrick's Day Party Set and includes everything you can possibly think of to throw a party... from interactive leprechaun lollipops and shamrock balloons and other goodies right down to green beer!

Mr. X and Vivian - *Spryralle, Muse, You Got the Look @ Swank and L.A. BoS

Time for a tea party... in the forest... with cakes and cookies... ice cream and chocolates... what better way to cheer yourself up than with a good sugar fix.  Speaking of cheering up, shopping also does the trick for me. And, I found the most gorgeous gown @ Swank called Vivian by Spyralle, a new jewelry set by Muse and gorgeous new eyeshadow by You Got the Look.

I love the deep lapis lazuli blue of this gown that is embellished with gold sequins --- in an artful art deco texture that is fit for a Hollywood diva.... one that likes sweets at that !  This gown comes in many color combinations and is made for all mesh bodies plus comes in five mesh sizes making it  as easy as it is beautiful to wear.

I have paired this gown with Muse's delicate Royale Perpetua Crown, Earrings and ring in silver.  This jewelry comes with a handy color changing  hud that gives you many possible color combinations and possibilities.

Mr. X & Mia - Alter @ Swank, Emo-tions and Altamura

I told Mr. X that there are certain things every woman should own. Some are used regularly; others occasionally; some are used only once. Mr. X said... like what ? Luggage. Pearls. Go to lipstick. A black leather blazer with gold trim and a tight pencil skirt like this one from Swank created by Alter called Mia that is an exclusive at March Swank. I am also wearing my new Bento Head called Monique by Altamura.

With it's trendy gold zippers Mia gives the traditional look of a blazer a wicked updated -- it is sophisticated and alluring especially when paired with the gorgeous pencil skirt  that is embellished in a lavish sequin brocade texture that glitters and is  glam.   I told Mr. X that Mia goes in the used regularly category! Looking me up and down -- with a wolfish grin Mr. X said... "Sita, I can see why!" Ha! Check out those fab chains on  sun glasses talk about  go to!

Mia is made for all mesh bodies (belleza, slink, maitreya) and also comes in five sizes.  You will be surprised by the kind of statement a black leather blazer makes and, believe me, you will also be surprised at how often you wear it. I love accessories and Mia doesn't disappoint as it also comes with cool round sunglasses with gold chains that Audrey Hepburn would have worn  shown above -- and an oversized leather bag.

I am also wearing the new bento head by Altamura called Monique that is an exclusive @ the Skin Fair.  Elegantly sassy and yet, demure at the same time Monique comes with five eye shadows,  two sets of eyelashes and five "go-to" lip colors; all are easy to  blend.  You can choose from a series of brows as well as appliers for  hair. I am wearing it with the Sophia headless body sold separately by Altamura. This is omega compatible.

I love the fact that you can have a clear face, freckles (worn in a previous blog) or this sexy beauty mark on the  upper right of my lip.  Another new release is the Grace eyeshadow make up by Altamura that is omega compatible. I love the smokey silver blends of Grace that has 8 shades to choose from.

Mr. X... had gotten me a  book  and flowers and has cooked me dinner.... by a warm fire... I am  totally indulged... and I like thank... thank you  Mr. X... really, he is the best... ! Kisses to Mr. X and thank you for the roses for Womens week.

Mr. X and Julia + Alice Tashi @ Swank & emo-tions

I told Mr. X that there were many mysteries in the art of Tarot cards... he said  pfffft.... can you believe this?  I find the history and lore of the Tarot cards fascinating as they were part of the magical and philosophical foundations of the Knights Templars  that they attribute to the Saracens or one  of the mystical sects that flourished at that time... it is a mystery... but, then again, so is life!

I found the perfect outfit @ Swank by Tashi for a Tarot Card reading or for... just hanging out. called Alice that consists of a Jacket and a Sweater with a color changing hud of 6 colors for jacket, 12 for sweater and  4 for the zippers!  Check out the gorgeous texture of this mini sweater dress and the fab texture of the leather jacket... that is uber chic...  Alice comes with a color changing hud.

What really sets this outfit off are the thigh high matching boots called Julia... they add the right amount of "sugah" and spice to this cute look.  Thigh hi boots originated way back in the 15th c. and  became popular as a fashion statement for women in the 1962 when Balenciaga's fall collection featured them... and, ladies, we know men around the world are happy this happened !   Julia Boots are made for Belleza, fitted mesh, slink, Maitreya (worn) and TMP bodies  and comes with a color changing hud.

Mr. X and Viveca - *new* Azul plus finds @ Swank and Emo-tions @ Hairology

The golden sunset  he  promised it would be so beautiful... he told me it would make me believe... again.  Wandering -- lost in light... unfettered...unencumbered...unobtrusive...

The other night I ran into the unforgettable Mami Jewell owner of Azul and picked up a gown and a gorgeous dress yet to be blogged.  Azul has the most helpful teleport system going that helps you locate the style of  dress, gown or casual attire you are looking for. There is a mesh and non mesh area and even a fantasy section!  This tp system really made shopping there a pleasure... besides being wowed by all the gorgeous designs like this gown I am wearing called Viveca in Topaz.

I have paired this gown with two finds from this month's Swank event... the Forehead Jewels  in Smokey  Topaz by XH&A and the Hollywood Glamour Eye make up Collection by You got the Look by Darla. This comes made for Letlutka, Catwa, Eve, Slink and Classic heads.  The hair is also new by Emo-tions and is called Janne. It comes with appliers for classic, letlutka and catwa heads. I love the whispy look of this hair with its elegant ponytail that skims my back.

Mr. X and the Ladies Tux - L.A. BoS @ Marvelous Events

Sexy... pure and simple and yes, from Marlene Dietrich to Madonna they have strutted womens' fashions that have been influenced by menswear.  Is there nothing  sexier than a woman in a tux! There are endless ways to make this black and white tux sexy or demure as you like...and the new exclusive  by L.A. BoS called Ladies Tux at  the March Marvelous event is a keeper. It is made for classic bodies and can easily be worn with mesh as well as I am wearing it.

Suffice it to say the plunging neckline of this tux complimented by the arched sleeves, high neckline and a white rose corsage is hawt!  I love the black and white abstract pattern on the jacket that gives it an updated trendy vibe. Ladies tux also comes with sexy lace up leggings.  And, what else is there to say about the  hip hugging leather bikini pants replete with studding except... wow!... Some do like it hot indeed!

Women have Yves Saint Laurent to thank for introducing the this liberating style. It was the fall of 1966 when YSL displayed Le Smoking, the first ever tuxedo style suit made for women. I name was derived from the British 19th c. men's smoking jackets, so called because of their silk lapels that were designed to repel ash from an after dinner cigar.

Mr. X and Bianca - Posh Pixels @ Marvelous Events

Marvelous Events is open for March and runs to the end of the month.  Needless to say they have tons of cool offerings...I love this jumpsuit made by Posh Pixels called the Bianca Harness Jumpsuit that is made for mesh bodies.

It is perfect attire for to conduct a search for sushi in!  I love the worn texture of the the jump suit that is artfully embellished with a cross cross of straps and buckles... the neckline plunges adding sex appeal...

And, then there is the questionable torn knees... why questionable you ask... well, because... all those naughty boys want to know HOW the knees became torn !  Go figure... I told them my usual response, "I never kiss and tell" - so there. Mr. X the sushi is up .... where are you!!!!

Mr. X.. & Rochelle --- it's late... Wicca's Wardrobe, Emo-tions and {CdB}

I told Mr. X that i love love love sleigh beds, I have three in RL so why not in SL.  This sleigh bed was offered at the Feb. Swank by {CdB} and it is called the Esme Sleigh Bed, I am sure it is available at the main shop.

It is an adult bed with all the bells and whistles so to speak and comes with a color changing hud for the sheets, bed spread and pillows.  Night stands and candles are also available. I added the gorgeous Sake Wine Set by Aphrodite at Heart Homes... it is beautiful, low prim and interactive... What better to model with a bedroom set than the *new* lingerie release by Wicca's Wardrobe... I rarely (never) do lingerie but Rochelle Lingerie  Set is so sexy and sporty I had to blog it.

 Wicca is always so clever ppp I love the color changing hud for maitreya, slink, omega bodies... it is beyond easy to use (always remember to clear your layers with your maitreya body).  Rochelle Lingerie  Set  comes with appliers only, you must have the body and yesh worth it -- I only wear Lara Maitreya.

Rochelle Lingerie  Set  has a lavish leather texture  that comes in  five colors delicious colors - red, black, blue, yellow.....  The hair is *new* from Emo-tions and is appropriately called  Before and After--- and is pure sin. It comes in a straight and a wind blown (come hither)  look... Mr. X is definitely in for a treat... don't  you think?  And  Wicca is so damn clever with all the detail... Mr. X I can feel you unlacing the sexy back of this bra top... oh la la  --- and, for god sake, please make sure your hands are warm... or is that my job?

A sleigh bed was born over 200 years ago - though its roots go back as far as the Greco-Roman period. A sleigh bed is derived from the Empire style, a neoclassical trend that was popular in France and the U.S. in the 1800s. One aspect of this trend is their  curved sweeping headboard and footboard that was inspired by ancient Roman and Greek divans.

Mr. X... come feel this luxe leather in my new sleigh bed... the bed is graceful yet dominate...and no, I am not talking about myself... am ?

Mr. X and Liz - *new* Glitter @ Swank

What better way to spend a late winter afternoon than unwinding at a coffee shop..daydreams about parties... the kind that they tell stories about. The kind where someone is always getting pulled away to something better in a different wing.  The best kind of party where your version and my version and the truth just don't match!

Thinking of what to wear to this party, I explored the new March opening of Swank... the theme is Hollywood so expect lots of glamour this month... Mr. X likes that!  I found this retro mod take on a bubble dress by Glitter called Liz Cocktail Dress.

The sweetheart neckline with a fitted bodice and silk belt at the waist is so sexy!  I love the add on layered look of this skirt with it's gorgeous floral brocade pattern that hints at spring. The outer skirt has a delicate lace border that adds a touch of femininity to this dress.  Liz is available in five sizes for mesh bodies. It comes in tobacco, smoke, blush and heritage and mauve.

So Mr. X are you ready for a party... perhaps it won't be the fanciest... nor the most tawdry.  But, I can assure you that in this dress it will be the party that nobody ever forgets!

Bento Head Altamura and New Hair Jumo

This new Bento Head by Altamura called Monique has elegant strong lines, thick sexy eyebrows and lovely luscious lips!  The hud for the head gives you options for clean skin or freckles... and we all know how Mr. X loves those freckles!  Just  remember, order to wear and "see" a bento head, you must have the bento view... I just upgraded to that.., in order to try bento shapes and heads.

To wear the Monique package I advise you to get the Sofia shape  from Altamura - it is beautiful and has a skin hud to match the skin on the head. Monique comes with a hud for the bento head. I know it sounds confusing but it really isn't... because  Monique comes with easy to use 5 step directions and a very helpful staff. These are some of the make up variations....

Although you can wear this head with maitreya and slink bodies, it is advised to wear the Sofia Shape I am wearing the Monique Shape that comes with mesh head, the Monique eyebrows, the Monique Mesh Bento Head, the alpha head and total body and the Sofia mesh body headless (Sophia  sold separately).

The Monique head comes with a applier for make-up that offers four lip colors, four eye colors and two sets of lashes in addition to expressions. Of course the fun is blending the tones of the lips and eyes to match the skin and your outfits.  You can also change the proportions of the bento head which is part of the allure of these heads (if you know what your are doing!)... make sure you make a copy of the head and body before you start fooling around!

I have paired this head with Jumo's new hair called Alessandra... it has a sexy softness to this beautifully created bento head  that will catch every eye in the room...

Mr. X and the Fairy Godmother *NEW* !!SMD!!

I told Mr. X I believe in magic... don't you... you will after you see this new Fairy Godmother Gown my  !!SMD!! -- it is pure "faetastic"!  I admitted to Mr. X  last night that one of my fondest dreams was to become a Fairy Godmother...

I would love to be that mysterious woman that appears by magic usually to attend the birth or christening of an infant...a fairy godmother always comes uninvited to either bless or curse the child... I of course would only bless... while showing off my array of magical abilities...

It would be hard to leave as quietly as I arrived because this Fairy Godmother Gown is so intricate and lavish.  I love the bodice that is embellished with stars and ruffles... the bell shaped skirt has the most intricate texture... the sleeves are belled and so elegant and yes, look at those wings... and high collar they just glisten.... the Fairy Godmother gowns comes for standard bodies with an alpha plus it come for those that wear Slink and Maitreya (worn) mesh bodies making this easy to wear.

Leaving as mysteriously as I arrived  -- I  assured  Mr. X that a Fairy Godmother is a spirit... not flesh and blood...she is a powerful entity... that is unforgettable... Mr. X said, "Sita, my love, so are you in this gorgeous gown."...... it comes in dreamy, glass, magic and wish... I am wearing dreamy.

Mr. X - Falling into You - * New * Zed Sensations and Emo-tions

Daring... and sexy - this is what this cute dress with its evocative cutouts is in a nutshell by Zed Sensations. Falling into You will make you feel adventurous...something perfect to wear for a midnight rendezvous... I can see it in my mind's eye -- chasing a golden streak of light deep into the night... can't you just feel the passion in the last rays of the sunset?

Falling into You  is made for all mesh bodies and comes with a fun color changing hud that allows you to change most parts of this garment from sleeves to the sexy skirt and top of this outfit.  It even comes with matching gold or silver shoes. I have paired it with the new hair by Emo-tions called Helga and I am wearing both the brown and blonde huds. I am also wearing the new Necklace by Emo-tions called Taipa.

As my explorations continues as I wait for Mr. X to join me... a gentle breeze of the dry wind rolls across the landscape, a raspy, soulful voice emerges through the  fog of a hazy dream, singing an indelible word straight to my soul...Freedom.....get there by any means necessary.
