Mr. X and Tia - Ghostyss @ Swank

I love the colors of autumn and the cute combo frocks that Ghostyss has created for this month's Swank that is featuring those wonderful fire colors of fall. Check out Clothilde with its band-aide type top and flattering mini skirt in a hip geometric pattern -- it is sure to bring out the "hipster" in you.  This dress is made for Freya, Slink, Venus, Isis and Maitreya bodies.

I love the flirty look of Tia in a smart brown and creme plaid... with its romantic ruffles in all the right places.  In Mr. X's opinion, nothing says fall fashion more than plaid. This is made for TMP, Maitreya, Slink and Belleza mesh bodies.

Naya Bubbles is a slink sexy mini dress with a deep v-neckline that makes it oh so sexy. I really love the combination of colors that reminds me of a walk in the woods on a sunny autumn afternoon. This dress is made for Freya, Belleza, Venus, Slink, TMP, maitreya and regular mesh bodies.

Amira is so comfortable and so sexy all at the same time.  It consists of cute crop pants and a crop top that is made for classic bodies as well as slink, belleza, maitreya, eve, tonic and tmp bodies.

Mr. X and Veruska - *NEW* Jumo & Swank

Cat  tales... stories of the chase,  told  late in the night... holding hands,  I asked Mr. X to follow me into the forest  together we will look for the  leopard ---   to pay our  greatest respect to this magnificent cat...  whose fur is iconic and beautiful...  just like this new gown by Jumo  called Veruska...

Mr.  X tells me  it is sheer in all the right places.... not to mention the sexy lace trimmed  bodice ....  this is one gown he will find hard to forget me in ....  and one, gown, that is sure to  turn heads.. Mr. X had one word.... ROAR!   Veruska comes with a fabulous color changing  hud of  25 colors and patterns and a fur collar which i did not wear.  It is made for fit mesh in five sizes and maitreya, belleza and slink mesh bodies.

Mr. X and Aisha @ Fashion Dazzle I.M. Collection

 Mr. X...  I feel the wind  blow thru my hair..... and  I want to go to a place that captivates and takes you --- so far from the ordinary.... lets book a ticket... we both know we have a reservation in a handbasket (tsk. tsk.)  In planning I like to be casually elegant ---  and I am wearing a new find by I.M. Collection called Aisha that is an exclusive at Fashion Dazzle.

Mr. X loves the interplay of patterns....  the blouse is a dance of diamonds and the pants are  textured in a herringbone that is traditionally distinguished from a plain chevron by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag.. It's easy and elegant... Aisha doesn't try to much... it just is... no matter where you are -- party ---  get together or  boarding for your next flight.... oh Yes!

A fabulous drop necklace is also  sold separately with Aisha in the four matching colors that this outfit comes in. Mr. X thinks that the drop pearls and silver choker finish this look that is clearly stunning.   Aisha is made for fit mesh, belleza, slink & maitreya bodies.  Matching  classic heels for slink, maitreya and belleza also available.

Mr. X and Iman- New Jumo

There is something so primal -- so sexy -- so sensual about tigers.  They represent raw power... and beauty... just like this new outfit by Jumo called Iman Dress... Mr. X loves everything about it and so do I... ancient --- organic and definitely flattering....this outfit by Jumo has made Mr. X roar with.... well, I never do kiss and tell...

Iman has a beautiful and classic pencil skirt whose hemline hits just above the knee... the way June has textured the tiger stripes is amazing.  I love the detail of black satin  at the hemline and waist that gives this skirt even more  dimension and allure.

The blouse is a  silk crop top that ties at the center... it is sophisticated and chic and has flattering lines... I mean, who wouldn't look "to die for" in this!    I love wearing  clothes like this...  detailed, thoughtful, chic, beautiful and a must have. Iman is  made for fit mesh, maitreya, slink and belleza bodies and comes with a color changing hud.

Iman also comes with an opulent gold necklace -- that is love at first glance with its filigree golden swirls.  This necklace and matching gold stud earrings that comes with Iman really adds a tribal elegance to this look.  And, as I mentioned in my last blog, I am also wearing sheba, the new eyeliner from Jumo made for classic, letuka and catwa mesh heads.

Mr. X and Sita in Scarlet -- New Mariposa @ Fashion Dazzle

Fashion Dazzle is a wonderful venue taking place thru the end  of November , new to me that offers exclusives that are top notch. Check out this gorgeous sheath gown by Mariposa in scarlet called Aelyn... if you have ever wanted to feel like a glamorous movie star, this gown is a must have.

Mr. x swooned when he saw me in this gown... he loves the shiny and sparkling accents of this gown that makes it definitely out of the ordinary.   The "trick" to wearing this  gown, that is sure to set most men on fire is to make sure your advanced lighting is on...Lights stimulate the highlighting built into the gown. Make sure you wear the body lights that bring up reflective highlighting on the dress and on your skin and don't forget to turn on your advanced lighting.

This dress is  really intensely beautiful and comes in a variety of colors for lara, belleza, slink and tmp bodies I told Mr. X that  I thought Aelyn in scarlet was a perfect gown for the beginning of the holiday season, it is so festively alluring.

Autumn Thanks... Aphrodite @ Heart Homes & Ghee & Jumo

My friend Alexa invited me over to chit chat... a casual dinner setting... by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes called Harvest Dining Set at Tres Chic --- both of us blog for this fantastic furniture, decor and accessory creator and we always have fun collaborating -- especially since the products created by Heart Homes are so interactive.  I also have the perfect fall frock to wear by Ghee called Ditsy Floral Romper and Print Jewellery Scarf it is an exclusive at the Boho Fair. I have also added a link to Alexa's blog on this set... she really set up a gorgeous set for this party of ours.

I love everything about this jumper with its adorable out sides, handkerchief hemline and sweater top. Ditsy Floral Romper is made for all mesh bodies including belleza, maitreya and slink. I have paired this with the new matching boots by Ghee called Essential Fall 2017 over the knee suede boots. They come made exclusively for belleza, slink and maitreya mesh feet with a matching eight color hud that matches the tones perfectly.

One of my favorite elements of this boho chic outfit, sold separately  is the jeweled scarf with beads and a tassel. You can change the hud to mix and match the scarf with the skirt of the jumper's adorable flower print that is so indicative of  70's flower power!  I have also paired this look with the sassy new hair by Jumo called Khloe.  I love the updo buns and the way strands of hair whisp around my face.  The hair comes in many colors and options with and without roots as well as ombre, vivid or a favorites optional package.

Somehow... when the leaves of autumn fall... and they have been... I think of  being thankful for life, health, my good friends in SL and RL... and, of course for Mr. X.  I love this low prim table by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes, it is so festive for the season with squash candles, wooden placemats and maple leaf plates. The table is large and interactive and perfect for having good friends over for a convivial time. I am also thankful for this fab plate of tapas in front of me.... YUM!

This table is so welcoming -- it is constructed of a great pine slab rustically elegant...  with lace ...  and wooden placemats with reed plate holders -- the plates are made of the finest pottery.  I am always in awe of Heart Home's attention to detail.... it always makes  guests feel welcome.

It makes me want to say come on over and please come and join us... and, really this is what every table makes me want to say... because when we  dine together, the bond of friendship and community deepens (unless it is Thanksgiving with relatives you can't stand, then it becomes amusing!!!!). And, this table delivers as you and your guest have drink choices as well as a full interactive menu choices to choose from... there is no way you are leaving hungry!

Mr. X and the Autumn Angel... Giulia Design and Jumo

Autumn's fire colors is what this fabulous gown reminds me of by Giulia Design called Grimilde and Jumo's new Sheba eyeliners are perfect for an evening filled with the fire colors of the season!  I love the flowered bra top with the sparkling diamond spider ... and those spiders that cascade down my stomach... there is something so sexy about that --- this is what Mr. X tells me... and he is always right!

The eyeliners called Sheba by Jumo come in six colors.... they glimmer and glisten and are oh so exotic... you will be seeing more of these... I love them! The eyeliners are made for classic avatar heads as well as for catwa and letuka mesh heads. I also adore the exotic neckline of Grimilde that is indeed fit for the Queen of Sheba!

Grimilde is made for mesh bodies and comes in five sizes.  It also comes with a fabulous horned headdress that is jeweled beautiful made as well as wings...  wear both so the boys won't know if you are naughty or nice... I like to keep them guessing, don't you?   Grimilde also comes in black.

A Trio of Finds @ Legendaire & Emo-tions

I love being from a small beautiful, cultured city... who doesn't like that... a place where there are a lot of choices and lots of wide open space... pretty lanes to wander down... terrific restaurants and great places to shop like Legendaire.  Check out Ellen... it is sophisticated and sexy at the same time.

Ellen is made for mesh bodies and comes with high high heels for mesh feet. Ellen has a fabulous color changing hud for the tie-up midriff top and crop pants with it's fancy gold studs at the waistline and matching gold heels. The hud offers eight choices for just about every mood from florals to solids. I decided to pair this outfit with the new Agatha lace up heels that are sold separately to complete this lace up look. The Agatha heels come with a hud of ten colors.

 I have paired this with the new hair by Emo-tions called Rona that is an exclusive @ Hairology. It is unisex and looks great on both men and women.  It has appliers for catwa and letluka mesh heads and comes in a large variety of huds. I love the sweep of these braids and the way it flows... so tribal chic.

Another offering by Legendaire is Sydney made for slink, maitreya and belleza mesh bodies.  The mini skit is just right with great detail that includes a big gold belt buckle and a color changing hud featuring four solid colors.

The top for Sidney is so darn cute!  I love the way this cute V neck crop top ties around my waist. The top has a four color changing hud that offers two patterns and two solid colors.  It is so much fun to wear. Sidney also comes with great shoes made for slink, maitreya and belleza mesh feet -- wow these great shoes have a ten color changing hud so you can wear them with lots of stuff!

Spooktacular Finds @ Swank .:(CW):. and BPd/EEc

Dark and eerie... a haunted meadow... where skeletons lie-- pale and unsound... they roam this haunted place...zombies come unbidden... wandering in the endless night of their memories... and here I am -- lost in the middle.... wondering which way to go.... the cries of a cat echos.... in the trees. This new stage set called Blair Witchcraft Halloween Stage by .:(CW):. is great and so is the gown by BPd/EEc  also at Swank.

I have gone out, a possessed witch----haunting the black air, braver at night;  dreaming evil, wandering with the spirits... I am a lonely witch in this haunted meadow with my cauldron bubbling and my sister flying over head... a  woman like that is not a woman, quite.  I have been her kind.

This fabulous haunted halloween meadow called Blair Witchcraft Halloween Stage is an exclusive by .:(CW):. and comes loaded with all sorts of spooktacular items from flying witches to zombies, rabid dogs, skeleton trees piles of bones and black crows circling, this is a must have for Halloween fun.  It is an exclusive at this month's swank. It comes with an easy rezz box and is totally enclosed setting a frightfully delicious scene!

I am wearing another Swank exclusive by BPd/EEc called Eternal carnivale that evokes a  19th century stroll in NOLA.  This is a fabulous Victorian styled steampunk gothic gown replete with a bustle and flowers at my side, black of course. This gown is made for slink, belleza and maitreya mesh bodies.  I love the detail of the net dot lace overlay on the gown and the floral swirls mixed with stripes on the bodice and the way they fan out on the bustle.  The long sleeves have leather armbands and are so cool and unusual.

Eternal carnivale  also comes with a beautiful gothic necklace made of the finest black onyx and long drop earrings that glisten in the moonlight. The hat literally tops this outfit off with it's skulls, flowers and lace... making it the perfect finish to  haunt the night in.

Mr. X and a Hex by [Zex] @ Swank

When the days grow short and the nights grow long in autumn I love watching the trees turn from green to red, gold and orange... misty mornings, berries, patches of pumpkins and bales of hay...oh the lure of October.... and oh this alluring outfit by  [Zex]  called Gomory that is an exclusive @ Swank that is sure to bring out your darkest desires!!!

Made for mesh bodies, Gomory  has a sexy mini skirt, thong panties, and a very sexy bandage crop top.  It is perfect for watching ghostly shadows creep slowly by... as candlelights flickers making you wonder if witches roam the night...

Gomory  also comes loaded with accessories such as the fabulous horns and the wrist cuff.  I love the bejeweled details in these horns that studded with silver and have chains with silver gems hanging from their ends. Certainly in this outfit you will be ready to roam any night of fright!

Somehow to make this even more other worldly and exotic I decided to wear Violator, now only available on MP. I am wearing Chatelaine - the collar, headpiece, veil chest... after all who doesn't like forbidden things... this time of year....

Mr. X and the Garden Gate @ Swank- CJ Creations and Wild

What strange spirit lead them to this gothic garden gate... they knew not... back, back into the long dead past they wander... endlessly...he could see her graceful approach to meet him...he repeated her name silently, willing her to come... once again to him...You can find this fab Arbor Gate by CJ Creations with Gothic peeps at Swank thru Oct. 31.

He half believed that at this dark hour under the silver moonlight if he went to the garden arbor that he should see her again under the slumbering roses, parasol in her hand... there is no doubt that the lady of the garden has put him under her spell...These lovely figures and the garden arbor, whose flowers change colors are an exclusive at Swank by CJ Creations called CJ Aura Gothic Archway.  These two are certain to spice up any Halloween Garden party with their elegant Victorian Gothic look!

Speaking of spicing it up... I love this new dress by Wild called Creepy Girl. It is made for classic bodies for you ladies that are not mesh and for those that are, this dress is also available in mesh (belleza, slink, maitreya and fit).  Creepy Girl comes with an amazing color changing hud with 12 textures... all more creepy than the next and so very festive for this time of year!

The garden pedestals are also by CJ Creations and come in a set of three.  They are  highly detailed and low prim and oh so gothically decorative. They are not linked and you can copy them making it really easy to landscape with them.

Shall I wait for him by the garden gate...I wait in the dusky light... straining for the first sound of his footsteps. Noiselessly as a penumbra of the moon he entered the garden, pale as pearl... Mr. X said there you are... aas always, softly radiant and your eyes, mysterious and unearthly from which the soup looks out...
