Peace On Earth Hunt 7 - Still Time! Chic and Sweet Tea At (POE 7) ; Plus New Lybra!, Unrepentant, and Wicca's Wardrobe; October's 4Seasons Keiko

More holiday fantasy this morning with The Peace On Earth Hunt 7 (POE 7). But first, the element of holly and holiday red... I took the fun little hat that Wicca added to her Red/Green gown and I kept doubling it in size until it took on the size of a playful winter's napping spot.

Also, my little shoulder friend, I'm pretty sure it's my very first wearable pet I've ever owned though I have had friends who owned all sorts of critters over the years. This one comes from a long lost friend who's come back to Second Life to take it by storm. Drop by Unrepentant and see the clever creations she's brought to life.

The Aran Christmas sweater from Chic has been hidden as have the tights by Sweet Tea for Peace On Earth Hunt. It's not too late to get all the information, the list of stores, and go hunting for holiday treats.

Keiko now has a new skin tone. Sexy, alluring, sweat and devilish in only the best possible way. October's 4Seasons makes sure every skin tone, every new face, each detail, works well together in its best hope of tempting you!

A Happy Yule To You -- Featuring Wicca's Wardrobe

YULE (circa December 21)

(Winter Solstice, December 20-23 (varies according to the particular date on the standard calendar according to when the Solstice will occur astronomically)). Longest night of the year, the turning point when the days shall afterwards grow longer as winter begins its passage into the coming spring. It is, in the Goddess worship, the time when she gives forth again to the birth of the Divine Sun child who shall be both child and eventually lover and father of the next child in the cycle. Winter Solstice for pagans is a time of feasting and the exchanging of gifts and is the original Holiday that the Christian religions modified into their own Christmas, even up to the birth of the child (Most theologians who have spent time studying the birth of Jesus admit he was born in either March or April, not the celebrated Christmas date we all know from the standard calendar - it was moved to this date to help induce Pagans to give up their old ways yet allow them their holidays during the spread of Christianity through Europe and the British Isles). Traditional adornments are a Yule Log, usually of oak, and a combination of mistletoe and holly (also all later plagiarized into Christian ways).

Inspired by Wicca's Wardrobe Carol Gown Red/Green. Everything else I've shown you on previous blogs tho I did dye my hair from Lybra a multiple colored holiday array. I wonder if it will ever dye back!? Blessings...

I'd Really Love To Meet You -- At Rue La Page - A New Event Sponsored By Lybra - October's 4Seasons and Lybra

At Rue La Page this morning - as in right now real time 12.4.2014 1:45 p.m. Eastern Time/ 11:45 a.m. SL Time - and I've got some GGGorgeous new things to share. October's 4Seasons creator Ms. October Bettencourt designed an Asian inspired skin for this first month of this new event. It's called Keiko. I have an up close and personal 'bare face challenge' type picture so you can see her in the simplest sweetest of innocence.

No Makeup - Just a Lovely Fresh Face

I've also put on the angelic gown from Lybra that was designed just for this event. It's called Susan and with a few extra pieces like the angel wings from one of Lyrical B!zarre Templates new releases Destiny and the Halo from a friend who created one on the spot for me one day just for the asking...

Oh Christmas Tree

Come by, shop with joy, and let me meet you. I'd love to meet you in person, ermm... in pixels!

Thank You Jamee! Featuring Lybra's COO, ♛ Miss V♛ SWEDEN 2015♛ - Lybra, Wicca's Wardrobe and October's 4Seasons at The Couturier's Docks

Last night was a rough night. On nights like that, I do my best to distract myself and make it one moment at a time. I was working on styling the new dress from Lybra at The Couturier's Docks. Mr. Rage has sold out his new dress at TCD within the first few days for 3 rounds, so I didn't want to miss out on it this time. I glommed over and grabbed mine the moment I saw the notice.

So I have on two different outfits to show you. The first is an unusual pant suit dress combination like nothing I've seen before in SL which makes it exceedingly interesting and fun. Libra's Mizuki may be purchased at The Couturier's Docks at the moment, and is shown as it was created in two photos I shot, then with only the pant suit on, as I turned a cartwheel in the ocean.

Wicca's Wardrobe also has some great new items at The Couturier's Docks, including the heels you can see in the photo of the cartwheel. There are several items from her including brand new mesh she created, something significant to her as her second ever mesh design, and something that no one else has, as a result of her creating it herself. She's very excited to offer this to her faithful customers and all who pass through The Couturier's Docks who might become new customers.

The brand new line of skins begins with Angelina. October's 4Seasons Skins and accessories has its first ever display at The Couturier's Docks. The Milk Skin Tone has never been sold previously and the Walnut Skin Tone might just be the very very best dark skin tone in all of Second Life. October's a great skin creator for a whole array of shades, but I revel in her ability to capture the colors of the darker skins in our world and how she brings them into the game.

Lori Jamee Sandalwood Loeffler aka Jamee Binder aka ♛ Miss V♛ SWEDEN 2015♛ was online and I thought well, it can't hurt to ask, though I knew she had a very busy schedule, and many things she's responsible for at Lybra, with her MVW contest, and the Models Give Back program she helps manage. I nudged her in IM and asked if she had time to do a Lybra pair pose with me. She said yes. I was so excited, I forgot for a little while that it was a rough day. That's sometimes the best medicine of all, by the way. Time, a friend, something fun.

For the pictures I'm in with Jamee, I'm wearing Lybra's Vex. It's a mini that employs the metallic craze that continues to be chic in clothing design this season. Around the chest and again at the skirt, the flexible materials flutter with life and remind me of feathers. Jamee put together her look with a Lybra dress called Daiki along with a jewelry set from Lybra called Taylor that includes a Black Pearls necklace, earrings and ring.

The Most Debonair Character -- Featuring Lybra from The Month of Games,

I can remember the first time I played clue. It was with cousins and one of the cousins was a few years older than I and then her younger brother was my age. She had the game, and considered her wisdom at 14 to be worldly and elevated to heights we could not have possibly attained yet at 10 or 11. Then our mothers did that motherly thing and made us 'play nicely' together. That was good news for two of us, but the elder cousin was so miffed. I can recall her explaining with that huff that's only perfected around the age of 14!

It really was a sophisticated game, and a game for grown-ups. She told us that throughout the hour or so she was forced to play with us, and at that time, I truly had no clue what I was doing. Pun intended. I just remembered feeling like I'd reached a new stage in life. The game was about adults in adult situations in rooms that I'd never heard of, like a conservatory.

When I saw the gown from Lybra, all those thoughts came rushing back, as if they happened yesterday. The dress IS all grown up, sexy, classy, elegant and suitable to that image of one of the characters in the game. "Ms. Peacock, represented by the blue piece on the game board, is considered to be the most wealthy and debonair character in the game." Instead of taking the peacock literally and going in that direction, Lybra captured the essence of the original character, and modernized it to be a delicious evening gown, perfect for soirees, an evening at the Met or something else equally 'debonair'.

A Wow Moment! -- Featuring Nya's Closet from PENUMBRA Fashion Week, Violator, Lybra, EMO-tions, Face Paint and :::LB:::

Motivation comes from many places. We're all individuals, and what we bring to the table means something different and hopefully the conglomeration we present is greater than the sum of our parts. I often hear things in my head that different leaders, mentors and friends in the 'biz' have suggested while I'm working on blog photos. And I LOVE it.

One person who's made a lasting impression in my exploration of fashion (and I can't believe I just used the word biz in little quote markers!!) is Wicca from Wicca's Wardrobe. I knew her before my big venture into the fashion world and thought she was a remarkable, fun and brilliant woman. I ran into her again when I took classes at MVWMA. She was my educator for two of the classes. I also attended at least two lectures she offered.

Wicca is a Wow moment, in progress, almost all of the time. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wiccamerlin/ shows you Wicca in motion, with so many different sponsors, so many different clothing styles and yet everything exudes the essence of Wicca. I want to find that essence of Caryn. I'm getting there. I know I am because I feel it more each time I style, each time I put the puzzle together, and each time I share with my world here in Facebook and my blog. I just sense it. I knew I needed to find it because there are others who so obviously have theirs. Wicca is sooo Wicca. Strawberry Singh is sooo Strawberry. Cao is sooo mooooo.

I paired a whole array of fun items for this look and then I used Wicca's poses. She was in my head the whole time I played. You see new hair from EMO-tions, the new Antoinette - let them eat cake?! yipes. Violator has an incredible array of jewelry pieces in the set called Water Lilly, so I pulled a few from the set, then repurposed one or two. PENUMBRA Fashion Week is in full swing and the Alice outfit I have on is from Nya's Closet. Lybra has a new Marketplace link with a very special deal on the Alice bag seen in the photos (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/132834). Face Paint wants to warm you up for summer with the new "Warmth" release. And though they've been in inventory a while, me procrastinating the actual buying of Slink feet, they're on my blog for the first time, and I think they're cool. I wish I could buy them in my world off line. The Cage Sandals from :::LB::: along with a few favorite items round out the style I put together today.

These great designers are the only reason I'm able to do what I love passionately and to them, I'm so thankful!

FASHIONART: Lybra, {NanTra}, HOLLYHOOD, !Fabouzz, Frogstar, M&M, *~Damesfly*~, NailedIt, DEADPOOL -- !Elemental, Face Paint

Rather than tell you three separate stories tonight, I want to share with you one big story, and show you a whole passel of items that will be available in two days at the FASHIONART Faire by Glamourist.

So many different participants means unique and fun pieces to mix and match. Each photo will attempt to blend several designers in a way that shows them to the best of my ability and enough to tempt you too.

I went and got SLink feet as a part of this process and have three pair of SLink mesh shoes. SLink just released a High version of their bare feet, and designers at this Faire have used both the Mid and the High to create shoes, so as a consumer, you might want to check as you shop, to differentiate between the two.

This outfit from Lybra may be one of my favorite outfits from the whole faire, but to be fair, I haven't tried on everyone's art yet so it's early to be saying favorite. I just thought the concept was fresh. The heart emits particles while the face globe radiates light. The unusual twist of chains makes a pair of angel wings like I've never seen.

All the photos use poses from {NanTra}, a pose creator I did not know prior to this event. I enjoy discovering new creations by new creators!

The angel photos and the photos with the Geko dress show two colors of the same heels from HOLLYHOOD. The emerald heels in the middle series of photos come from M&M Incorporated. I had not worked with either of these designers either.

Because of the beautiful glowing globe, I chose to go bald, completely bald with that outfit. The other two styles come from *~Damesfly*~. Lucas, the short style, has photos of both genders wearing it. The updo blends a bit of elegance but in a way that's easy, loose and summery instead of formal elegance.

I like the line of the Geko dress from DEADPOOL. The collar flips up just enough to be chic. !Fabouzz created the dress with irises, something short, simple and beautiful to wear.
As I shared over the weekend, Face Paint opened it's doors after the owner Eve Express took a hiatus. Two new releases, Breezy and Smoked Beauty 2, accented both outfits with the dresses.
I've also just begun to blog with items from Designer Showcase, and the gorgeous gold jewelry set from !Elemental accented the black Geko dress remarkably.

Accessories are the key to completing any style and the FASHIONART Faire has its share of them. NailedIt created a new set of nails and have them for SLink, as Mesh and also as Prim, so no matter what your preference, it's there.

I'm looking forward to other designers that are new to me as well as familiar faces, so to speak. I'm so glad you paused to read and support this work I truly love!
