Peace On Earth Hunt 7 (POE 7) Inspiration - Xen's Hats, Snowpaws, and -{ZOZ}-; Plus New Items From BSD Design Studio and Wicca's Wardrobe

I really enjoyed putting this outfit together. I think I may say that often but the repetition of the saying doesn't in any way denigrate the truth being the statement. I love the fresh feel of fashion through the eyes of many beholders and when I begin mixing and matching designers, I see this even more so.

This whole look comes inspired from pieces found at the Peace On Earth Hunt 7 (POE 7). I ADORE Carrie Snowpaw. She and I have loads in common, and whether it's a week or a month that passes since we last spoke, it feels like it was just a few minutes ago. Those types of relationships are the essence of what I think of when I think of holidays. The Ribbon Dress, POE 7, comes from Snowpaws. It's long enough to wear alone, with tights or a pair of leggins like I used. Xen's Hats at POE 7 has a beanie that's too cute for words and unisex. -{ZOZ}- additions to POE include both the necklace called Unwrap Me and the special holiday themed Gift Polish.

Blowing You Each A Little Kiss

BSD Design studio created the heels and they work with my SLink High feet. The leggins come from Wicca's Wardrobe. I used the solid pair of Sazzy pants in a previous blog and this is the second option, a delightful pattern that has several colors so you can wear with many themes. This season of tights and leggins are right up my alley, by the way, because I grew up in the 80s and everyone wanted to dress like the dancer in Flash Dance, even when we weren't dancing! To this day I think of those layers of color over perfectly good pants and my parents tsking as I'd go off to school with layers all over the place. I was warm and did my best to be a fashionable 16 year old. I even had a knit cap or two. I was too hot to handle, of course... a sexy little thang. And ~whispers~ I still am!

Dancing In A New Month -- Featuring Lybra from Designer Showcase, Featuring Loordes of London from The Instruments

After dancing the first day of November into existence with a few friends and patrons of Lybra, hanging out with the designers, Lybra Rage and Natzuka, I had to write about the new gown from their amazing array of art they create. This Olympia gown may be bought at Designer Showcase and though it's almost pure white, with the feather boa for the shoulders, and sleeves that are long, you'll be able to wear this any season, for holiday celebrations, or just to hang out and dance a new month into existence.

The shoes peeking out from under the gown come from Loordes of London, and can be bought this month at The Instruments. You'll find these heels along with several other styles, plus other items as well, so a visit will be worth your time!

I have to make a quick comment about the Angelina series of skins from October's 4Seasons. These skins compete graphically with the best skins on the grid. Period. They offer every option you might seek, for attachments, appliers, and mesh. There are different brow shapes, and stunning makeup that October creates each time she makes a new skin tone. She's taking the 'Seasons' theme, that will help you choose the right skin AND the right outfits and hair and other elements of your avi, to a new level and making sure you know when you're wearing what season, and educating in a positive way in the process. The last thing I have to say, the skins that are not the traditional pale, cream and tan, the ones that exemplify a native heritage like Indian cultures from India and Indian cultures from the Americas, a beautiful array of dark skins that could be from the vastness that is Africa or the indigenous people of Australia, those skin tones are better than any other designer makes them in my opinion, and not because I get paid to say so or because she's a sisterfriend. It's simply truth. If you haven't tried an October's 4Seasons skin, you should. They hold up under any lighting, at low or ultra level graphics, and on any runway. They're also awesome for the everyday Second Life girl who's looking for the best on the market. Angelina Milk and Walnut are sold at The Couturier's Docks, just a little longer, and limited supply. If you visit the main store, you'll find a new group gift just set out last night, and new releases of Angelina, makeup, and more. I do adore October, or as I affectionately nicknamed her Ms. Oooo. I also admire her business acumen and her incredible talented artistry. You will too.

From Another World -- Featuring Wicca's Wardrobe and October's 4Seasons

I had so much fun putting together the photos for Wicca's Wardrobe and her items she has at The Couturier's Docks. Limited supply, so you should go go go if you haven't been there yet!

She shared her excitement about creating her own mesh this time, only the second time she's created a mesh item, and awesome little tidbit it is too! The Cybernetic Eye MAKES this look incredible, with the space motif, and otherworldly location. I'm wearing her Cayla jacket and Renraku pants, also out this month at TCD (and I've shown you her heels from this round as well on a previous set of photos).

I had to pull out her Space Boots to add to the ambiance of the overall look. I'm also using one of the newest eye shadow releases, Eclectic 2, from October's 4Seasons.I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Arachne Phobia? -- Featuring Wicca's Wardrobe at The Instruments and Chop Zuey

One more pair of fun photos for the night and then I'm going to eat a nibble and try to rest. Eating and resting are not as easy as one might think if one lived in my world, but I will do my best.

First, however... Wicca's Wardrobe has a new Arachne full outfit out for The Instruments. It's so much fun. I pulled open my Chop Zuey holiday items and found this set. It does't have a star beside it, so it's likely not been on my blog before, and if it's a repeat, well it's a fun one to repeat isn't it!?

I rarely pull on a whole outfit as is, but this one just screamed wear me, on every layer. I did change up the makeup a bit. You'll find some fun Halloween options on tattoo layers in Arachne that don't appear in my photos.

Super SCARYN - Featuring Sabra Style, Dark Horse Style, AsHmOoT from the Promenade, !Lyrical B!zarre Templates from Four Seasons Market and Dulce Secrets from Designer Showcase

I just want to be a super hero. Of course, every good one has a great costume. A month of costumes, but today, I pulled on a collection of items from different designers and ended up with Super Caryn. Sabra Style's Old London Coat made a perfect 'super hero girl cape' for today. AsHmOoT created an entire outfit for The Promenade, and from the set, I pulled on their Coll boots and leggings. I'm pretty sure tights/leggings are a must for super heroes and boots as well. !Lyrical B!zarre Templates provided the skin hugging mini dress under the coat, with a bra and skirt and shear layer between the two.

I know heroines do not need to enhance their chest area to fight crime more intensely but I also don't know of a single one who doesn't do so anyway! At Designer Showcase this month, Dulce Secrets put together a box of mesh eyes. Not a soul in our universe has pink eyes that I know of, but to have pink eyes as part of the costume; that makes sense. Lastly, I have more nails to show from Dark Horse Style. Be ware, though. These nails have been treated with just the right amount of venom to render any criminal paralyzed long enough that I might capture them and bring them home to justice!

My name will change for the duration of the month of October to SCARYN.
Just a nudge to help you find me in your list...

A Pose Makes It Perfect -- Featuring Odelitte from Four Seasons Market, [LG]Boutique, Sundaara and .:JUMO:. from .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week and **NEW** Dark Horse Style

What a difference poses make, eh? I find myself truly blessed by the relationship turned friendship turned family that I've found myself in with October, aka Keisha. Because she's done so many photos for different people, models, non-models, couples, friends, she's got a trillion zillion poses on her work station. I go gah-gah for her poses and play; and I could take a hundred photos before I moved on to something new.

In this styling today, I pulled in pieces again, yayayaya grateful for the diversity in designs that allow me the puzzle time part of this process. I took this Petra Jacket from Sundaara Designs and sold at .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week and began to build the look. The skirt comes from a design by [LG]Boutique, sold this month at Designer Showcase - which recently relocated so here's a new link - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Flawless/179/59/28, called Hang With Me. Mixing it up with bold colors, I pulled on a new pair of boots from Odelitte Suede Boots Red that you can purchase at Four Seasons Market then promptly added a pair of tintable socks from N-Core to add those ever necessary Autumn layers. The socks tinted to a bold purple complimented my final new accessory, the necklace from .:JUMO:. called Fascination in Purple.

And last but never least, I took a friend's suggestion, and went over to a brand new store called Dark Horse Style and snagged a whole array of new nail appliers. I've learned that just like shoes and hair, one can never have too many nails. I wouldn't want you or me to get bored with the same old same old! This design is called Curved Dark. Many different little painted pictures adorn an array of nails, including some fun Halloween related autumn sets. I'm not sure how long her nails will be 50L but that's her opening week special and that means your Lindens s-t-r-e-t-c-h better.

Warm and Cozy -- Featuring E C R U at Designer Showcase, City Chic at DEbRA, B!asta, Baubles! by Phe, and X-Sight from the Promenade, NiNight Creations from Four Seasons Market, and ~ghee

Sometimes it's a challenge to mix and match items. After recently mentioning PLEASE create items that come in tops, bottoms, pants or skirts, and other layers, the fates heard me, or you did and yay! Layers. So much of the fashion friendly for 2014 Autumn/Winter has layers, for miles. Now all of us don't live in NYC, but I remember when ladies in Jacksonville FLORIDA (you know, where the sun shines almost as much as California), women wore UGG boots. Ugh. But fashion is fashion, yes?

I pieced this first style together with items from Events, head to toe! At the Promenade, I found a box of B!asta Treasures that included the necklace and earrings seen here. Also at the Promenade, I found a box of rings from Baubles! by Phe and slid the Amber one onto my finger. Way up high, at the event horizon from which the DEbRA fundraiser will come together, I found this Autumn top and skirt from City Chic. I pulled the patterned skirt then looked around for more. The hooded sweater looked cozy though it's still in the 80s here in the midlands of SC. Way too soon to wear, but fun to play barbie with it, a design from Ninight Creations that you'll find at Four Seasons Market.

X-Sight has a wide array of colors at the Promenade. I'll use them for several blogs so you can see the different hues. And after asking around for help, Warm Clarity from ~ghee hooked me up with some multi-colored tights. It's hard to believe how pop culture melded with runway designers into the Hipster layers with loads and loads of tights, but few designers have them in SL, and even fewer have the ones that would be SLink compatible. Perhaps by the end of 2014, there will be more. Thank you Warm!

A Shoegasm and More -- Featuring Lindy from The Promenade, !Lyrical B!zarre Templates from The Couturier's Docks, Divalicious from DEbRA, ~ghee from .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week, and Chop Zuey

Lyrical B!zarre Templates has a new pair of dresses with two different textures set for each of them at The Couturier's Dock. Please remember that TCD sells limited items, and once they're gone, they're gone, so don't hesitate to scoot on over there and check out this Fidelity Texture B and the others there also!

Another little bit to tease you, coming from DEbRA - also from Divalicious - a Mesh Heart charm bracelet that made me think of the first charm bracelet I had when I was quite young.

I sent Ms. October an IM last night when I saw the shoe box from Lindy, that included these Kinsey Katie shoes as (Rare) items from The Promenade. I told her I'd just received a shoe orgasm. Naughty, but so true! Really. I do love boots and shoes, and boots and shoes, and more boots and shoes. Check out the Gacha and see - no matter what you receive, they're beautiful shoes.

~ghee always makes interesting, colorful, useful, fun items. I've had these fog tights on several times and I couldn't figure out how to make them work with SLink heels, then when I put on the Lindy heels, I cheered. I knew I could wear them! When I looked at Autumn/Winter real world runways 2014, I saw tights were making a huge comeback and helped add layers to the warmer items marketed. These came out as part of ~ghee's .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week items.

How many thousand pieces of jewelry do you think Belle has made for Chop Zuey? It's like, "How do I love thee, let me count the ways." New gifts for members and non-members, spoiling all of us, seasonal pieces, creatively inspired art, all of that and more. The earrings called Gypsy Babe hung down to my shoulders. I resized them so they'd work with the faux turtle neck of the dress and loved the look.

Shadow Ghost and Beautiful Blood -- Featuring Silken Moon and from Designer Showcase E C R U

I feel so alive, so on the edge of life and all things beautiful.

I've eased back (at a pace far too quickly according to one of my nurses) from all the medications that made my world a haze, and now I feel like flying, dancing, embracing every good and wonderful thing.

I had fun tonight with a series of black and white photos. I thought this second series, not quite as many to share with you but I felt like I could go on and on and on... are shades of grey. To take an identity and ghost myself inside it, without a skin on at all, only white paint, a mask of white, white hood, and all things white.

But red popped, up from the page, as soon as I pulled those E.C.R.U. boots on, from June Designer Showcase. And with that brilliant red, I knew how I would style the few elements that were not Chronophilia, the outfit by the extraordinarily creative Malicia Python - Silken Moon.

Lashes and lips and a good edit-able liner around the eyes, and I had created this ghost of self, so piercingly aware. (4 photos) It was shades of grey, a ghost of myself, oozing red, like blood, or beauty, or blood is beauty...

Always grateful for the designers who made my style possible:
