News From the Japan Fair - Featuring N1C0, Ambrosia, KMADD/Moda, [AMARELO MANGA], Kyxe Skins & Shapes

I can't believe it's really Tuesday already, and the first of April. As the SAVIAD fair came to its conclusion over the weekend, I had a few more things I really wanted to share, but I will leave this dress by N1C0 as my final styling. I had more fun working with the designers, through the whole spring theme and then the special theme of white tigers. Thank you for sharing that experience with me and letting me share it with you.

On the heels of the SAVIAD event, I have two very different and wonderful events gearing up for April fun. Really? It's already April?? The cute version of me comes as a treat from the Japan Fair. Ambrosia calls this "The Princess Prom Dress".

I don't think I wore a dress quite this innocent to prom, but that's an entirely different Karyn story! I paired the new dress with recent releases from KMADD/Moda - Betty Jane Flats, plus Kyxe Skins & Shapes new Innocence and Shine Shadows for the eyes layered and earrings from [AMARELO MANGA].

Elegance And I -- Featuring Miamai's Fashion Pride Gown Plus [AMARELO MANGO], [ChicZafari] and Kyxe

From time to time, I find myself styling different looks that push me away from my comfort zone. While this is probably healthy for all of us, online or not, it's more challenging and always leaves me ready to come home to my personal aesthetic.

Many stores offer customers an array of styles, so that whatever YOUR personal aesthetic, you'll find something there that suits your needs. Miamai is one of those stores, and this elegant gown comes from the creative mind that built Miamai into the fashion success it is today.

I've been to Miamai a number of times over the past few years, shopping randomly or searching for something specific, and I found it. There are poses, avatar accessories, clothing, and when referencing clothing, a massive array of styles of clothing, and so much more.

There are times I've been to shop there and found myself literally lost. It was a good sort of lost, though. It gave me time to explore nooks and crannies I hadn't seen before.

Tonight I'm sharing a gown from Miama that was created for the Fashion Pride event. It won't be difficult to find this special gown and I hope you're inspired to own one of your own.

The jewelry comes from [AMARELO MANGA] and I have not show it to you before and the clutch from [ChicZafari] also is new to me, not shown on my blog previously. Mesh nail appliers from Kyxe Skins & Shapes are also brand new.

Thank you to the many designers who helped make this styling possible:

My Holiday Card... Wherever You Are, Whatever You Do... Blessings To You!! -- Belladonna Couture, MADesigns and [AMARELA MANGO]

Here I am, at the end of a very special season. For me, it's Christmas. For others, it's Kwanza or Hanukkah. Still others focus almost completely on the end of a year and the preparation for a new one. I respect and care for the vast number of people who've supported me this year and to all of you, I want you to know you're wonderful, you're appreciated, and each of you have value.

In the next couple of days, I will try to style and photo a few more holiday gowns. I've had some Christmas celebration already and will have family come in and out of town for the rest of the year. I still want to show you the talent and beauty of the people who've been sponsoring me this year.

I chose this gown from Belladonna Couture particularly because it fit the colors of the setting. I thought the hair was unique and when I twisted it and angled it, it reminded me of a holiday tree. I added garland to the version I wore for the card, but the next photo shows the hair as it was when I got it, another amazing design from MADesigns.

I've been playing with colors and settings and all that was new this year with the arrival of a new laptop. I hope that the new hardware and the hard work I've invested into teaching myself and listening to friends has paid off and through this year, you've felt like you could see designs and art from the many represented here.

As with many challenging things in life, I'm at the point where I know enough to know there's so much more I need to learn. I love it, passionately - this learning experience. I love the writing and the photography and the styling. A new year dawns with more opportunity, a chance to write for a magazine or two. I'm just getting started!

I send you happy thoughts, positive energy and the warm glow of a heart that cares. Live! Love! Laugh!
