Mr. X and Kedja - *New* Wicca's Wardrobe

The powerful become corrupt. The corrupt seek more power over those who don't have it...and, those that don't have it, seek power. And, all this time Kedja watches -- each chain links her to a series of coincidences... or, is there such a thing as coincidence?

Kedja --is a catalyst that stirs the wind for change. Most of the time she forbids herself from participating in the antics -- she is a shadow witch that hides in the light of water. The combination of her lineage and the dark magic of a far away land that is part of the cult of voodoo makes her magical prowess far beyond the imagination of the minions she observes.

Some believe she is an idol... a goddess of greatness -- others see her as a silent sentinel guarding all that is sacred. They believe that she will destroy any evil magical threat that is nearby. Kedja has stood for centuries. Watching, without a single move. Watching people get older, strangers that pass by her feet, deep in the night, lovers making promises and then breaking them, the tears of children and joy of laughter, people coming to pay tribute, merchants selling the finest chains that bind the spirit...

Legend says, she will awake when the sun sets over the kingdom and the chains are ready to be broken freeing those that have made  their own prisons. Kedja made by Wicca's Wardrobe is an exclusive @ The Guardians Gatcha Event  through July 31. It is original mesh that is made for maitreya mesh bodies and comes in four colors and has color changing huds. There are also two exclusive gifts so go check this out... like all of Wicca's items, this is beautifully done.

Mr. X and In the Spirit of Styles by Danielle *new release* and Emo-tions @ hair fair

In honor of Dani Plassitz, who left us suddenly in December, a new gown has been released at a new shop totally recreated in her honor.  It is  maintained by her soul sister Alial Allen with help  from others -- it is a tribute and a living memorial and happily, new content  is being created with her sense of elegant style.  Just look at Estelle,  this beautiful gown, lovingly made in memory of her wedding anniversary. What gets more royal than blue and gold... you will feel beautiful wearing it...I did and Mr. X was enthralled.

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity

It asked a crumb of me.  

By Emily Dickinson

We miss you Dani... and will wear this gorgeous gown happily... formally or as a bride... it is beauty in motion... as eloquent as you were -- your songs and designs remain a fond treasure in our heart.  This gown with its flowing lace that cascades like an endless waterfall... is made for classic, maitreya and belleza mesh bodies. A huge thanks to Designer friends of Dani that  keep her memory and design elements and style alive.

Holiday @ a Beach Shack with Mr. X -!Ly!rical B!zarre, Glitter, L.A. BoS @ Swank & emo-tions

There is something romantic about beach shacks...their origins go back over 200 years... they initially started out as "bathing machines".  In the 19th c. people got into beach huts on wheels that were pulled by horses to take a dip!  Even Queen Victoria had a bathing machine. It was the proper Victorian thing to do! Over the years, beach huts have evolved into rustic, and not so rustic seaside respites.

The new  Beach Shack from  !Ly!rical B!zarre that is an exclusive at this month's Swank is no bathing machine...look at the great wood texture and lovely stone exterior. This low prim two room beach hut even has a weathered wooden deck. It is hard to believe, furniture and details, the entire house is only 35 prims.

I love the soft colors of blue and white used throughout this fully furnished house.  I love the window treatments in the bedroom and the way the blue quilt matches perfectly with them and the rest of the house's decor. It has a classic nautical feel. And, check out the slated wooden ceiling... it is so well done and adds so much atmosphere to the house.

There is plenty of seating on comfortable cushions, waterproof I hear, so it isn't a problem to take a dip and then come in and sit on them!  Again, everything blends so beautifully in this beach hut making it a perfect summer getaway!  You can also decorate this beach hut as you wish because the furniture is removeable.

Thinking of the beach, I thought of the idyllic beaches of the island of Hawaii... so, I thought it only proper to show off this new summer frock with its scoop neckline, thin straps and oh so sexy fringe with tassels called Hawaii by Glitter.

I love when the back of a dress is as sexy as the front and Hawaii  delivers with a low cut halter back. It is sure to keep you cool while the boys will heat up looking at you!

And, don't miss this fabulous new hair by Emo-tions an exclusive at Hair Fair called Dessia.  After Hair Fair, it will be in the main store.  I love the romantic waves of this hair and the way it frames my face. The small braid is just so sweet.  This hair comes in two versions, with or without a hat (the hat is fantastic a cap very retro 1940s) and also is made for busty and non busty avatars (and, no I am not telling what version I wore!).  Like all of emo-tions hair, this hair has appliers for letuka and catwa mesh heads.

Mr. X @ the beach.... Swank CH, Pink Magic, L.A. BoS

Nothing says summer like the beach...and Pink Magic has made a darling beach scene skybox called Beach Skybox with 33 animations that is an exclusive @ Swank. I love the fact that it comes with a "love" shack, a hammock, fire, and waves. It is easy to rezz with a box... clean and build.

This beach skybox even has a rustic table and two wooden benches and a table ladened with fruit!  I love the cute turtle bubble, sold separately by Pink Magic that has an entire world inside the shell... it is amazing and oh so cute! Pink Magic is also offering a cute Tropical Camp with 31 aos for couples.

Sometimes a one piece bathing suit is more flattering than a two piece because of the lines  the fabric draws on your body... I love this bathing suit called Malaga by Ch's another exclusive at swank.  Check out how the top of this suit has a deep V cut that melt into sexy rings at my hips -- even the keychain cut of the top is uber sexy...

And, what does Mr. X say?  "OMG I cannot imagine the tan lines...."   As I looked at him and replied... "Mr. X, what tan lines?"  (Please ignore rezz box!!!)

Mr. X and Summer dreams --- [Aleutia] and Jumo and Park Place

sometimes... you wait for the stars in the sky... in the summer in the northern hemisphere it is a joy to point out the  constellations... as you relax on a beach ... alone together... and  [Aleutia]  has come out with the most perfect summer set called Jarla it comes with a  skirt boho  and a crop top ---  it is dreamy.....  look at this cute crop top... the pattern  version... so tropical i feel like I am  in .... somewhere enchanting -- where is it for you my dear readers?   And,  the hair is fab, new Jumo hair called Tyra --- this is so  luxe and elegant... a  must have.

 Jarla comes in two versions -- I love both this is an example of the pattern hud... you can mix and match... the hud as always is amazing...there are  6 patterns  and  32 matching  accent  colors.  It is the grace of feeling and the  expression of art that makes  [Aleutia] come alive...[Aleutia] heads to the Islands this tropical season with a gorgeous new set available at The Liaison Collaborative. Available in both solids and prints, the top has a shimmering sheerness to the crop top, keeping everything light as the heat descends upon us all. Paired with a gorgeous new maxi skirt curving perfectly around your hips and flowing to the floor, this is a must have for your summer wardrobe. Both pieces are texture-changeable with the [Aleutia] Signature HUD and an exclusive Maitreya Design.

 Jarla makes me want to  unwind on the beach... It is so  BOHO---  and I found a great chair by Park Place called Ocean  Breeze -- it is low prim, intricate and  it swings and has loads of  ao's for  singles and couples is an exclusive at Gatcha... when you see me in this chair  unwinding in Jarla and in this  fab chair -- you will want  the outfit and chair  in rl and sl!

And, then always... there is  the beauty of the night.... and me and my dreams of Mr. X  a wayward  genius...he is mighty in his desires and totally indolent... like me... brash and ....  coarse and refined...  elegant and.... always, the subject of conversation... or, oops is that me?

Finds @ Swank Modern Beach House Skybox, Park Place, JS Designs plus Jumo and October 4 Seasons Gift Skin

Wow, it is summer and the Modern Beach House Skybox by Kaya's Ray of Sunshine that is an exclusive @ Swank is amazing. It has lots of rooms, the rooms are large and includes: Four Enclosed Rooms, One Upstairs Loft, One open Main Rooms and One open Back Room on TWO floors.

There is artwork on the walls.  I love this enclosed room with the starfish prints.  I have used the garden set by Park Place in this room for a light and  casual  bistro feel.  Amazingly, this is so spacious -- it is a 30x30 skybox that is only 95 Prims.

The Modern Beach House Skybox allows you to change the sky.  Stand on the patio and look out into the ocean.  TOUCH the horizon and a menu will open with choices for a sky, Stormy, Blue, Sunny or Sunset. The sound of the ocean is important in a beach skybox but sometimes it's just too much.  You can turn the ocean waves off and on in this skybox to fit your mood.  The terracotta pot on the patio has an on/off touch that controls the sound.  Touch the pot and the sound will turn on, touch the pot and the sound will turn off.  I have used Park Place Furniture on this seaside balcony that is also an exclusive at Swank.  I love the peacock chairs and rattan table. The chairs come with  many poses and animations and the table comes with beautiful drinks that you can place on the table that makes this set perfect for dusk....

I am wearing the new gown by JS called Palm Dress made for classic bodies. It is an tantalizing tropical print that comes in  green, blue, red, cyan and pink.  I love the pattern and the  sexy slit up my leg and the deep V-neck of the  bodice.

The necklace is so chunky cool... another fab find at Swank by Modern Couture called Colore Necklace Lime.  It is a perfect necklace for carefree summer fun... and the earrings called Rugaji White are also created by Modern Couture.  They are so artful with a hipster shape and studded with diamonds... perfect show off big earrings. The hair is an exclusive @ Hair Fair by Emo-tions called Joiny -- I love its flowing curls and the way it frames my face.

I decided to wear the new gift skin by October 4 Seasons called Jasmine Flower that is compatible with Letuka and Catwa heads and mesh bodies. Make sure you have the Omega applier for Letuka. The eye make up is Jumo, one of my favorites called Stylesque.

Upstairs there is more  artwork... Don't miss the upstairs in the room is a waterfall piece of art.  The animated water does have sound if you would like.  Just touch the water to turn the waterfall sound on or off.  Now, Mr. X, it is  tropical drink time... meet you on the balcony here that overlooks the ocean... for a nightcap!

Mr. X and Rosie... NEW MUSE -- Perfect Vintage Chic

I was looking for something a tad retro and sexy at the same time -- a dress for an uptown party at dusk frockling galore on the eve of a hot summer afternoon... watching the sunset with a glass of rum... over the city..... I found the perfect dress by Muse called Rosie  Sleeveless Dress.

Rosie comes with a fabulous color changing hud that offers 12 colors that range from pastels to deep rich jewel tones.  I love the floral pattern that is etched into this dress that creeps up the bodice with a sensuality that draws the eye up and down and back again, Mr. X likes that and so do I.

Mr. X said,  "Sita, you look as good from the front as you do  from the back.... " Pfft.... of course... (I should ask him now to carry all my  traveling bags... to cross the  street, of course!).  In any case, check out the sexy back of this dress.... the floral pattern climbs up  your back like a loving rose bower.....

Don't miss the striking hat and hair called Rosie Hat and Hair. NO fussing this hat and hair are together.  This hair and hat that comes with a color changing hud for the hat that matches the dress. You can also change the hair that comes with a massive "natural" color changing hud that features 48 colors.  This hair is also available in pastel colors as is this dress.

Mr. X feeling so pretty in this that I think I could break your heart... unless of course you  decide to take me for  a ride around the park .... as the sun sets  we will  listen to the sounds of the city... as it slows down... watching the sun sink into the sea.

Mr. X and the Lady in red CWS for Swank and Emo-tions for Hair Fair

 Mr. X said in this gown that I look like the ultimate "Lady in Red" -- and I said, yes, of course I am wearing a new gown by Celestial Weddings Styles  called London Cherry Dress that is an exclusive at Swank this July.  I am also wearing  new hair by Emo-tions called Lulu that is available at the Hair Fair.

Imagine us, Mr. X dancing, cheek to cheek... under the fireworks this July... it will be unforgettable.  Let's be tempestuous... and impatient... yes, I love having you in my arms again! And, when you look at me, you always, almost take my breath as I lose myself into your stormy blue eyes. 

 I will try to be unflappable... and unapproachable...  but this beguiling gown made for mesh bodies that includes earrings and a fabulous brooch on the pelvis made of glittering diamonds is hard to resist... I know you can't.  

And, then there is the romantically cascading hair by Emo-tions called Lulu that is  an exclusive at Hair Fair where  25% f the proceeds of the sale of this hair will go to  Wigs for Kids thru July 16. You can wear  Lulu with or without the delicate lace and flora and shell hat.  Mr. X says to me, "Sita, you look ravishing... in red... and I have missed you."

July Swank is now Open - Summer Exclusives Abound!

It's July and summer for us in the northern hemisphere is on and so is the new July Swank event... it is just heating up !!  And, what better way to enjoy summer than in a pair of palazzo pants with a lovely V neck top replete with a button that screams summer chic. There are three versions - Juan Dolio, Santo Domingo and Venezia.

Palazzo pants for women first became a popular trend in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  This wide legged style was originally seen worn by fearless women like Coco Chanel in the roaring 1920s and later by avant garde actress Katherine Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich.

Luxe Paris is offering three shades of this outfit - Juan Dolio in green (love this), Santo Domingo in  red and Venezia in charcoal. This is made for Lara, Belleza and classic mesh bodies.  I paired with with new sandals by Loordes of London for flat slink and belleza feet called Medalion Signature, they come in many colors, each sold separately with matching sunglasses. The sandals are an exclusive @ July's Swank that runs through July 30.
