AT SWANK: JUMO, 69 PARK AVENUE, 3RD EYE PERCEPTIONS

The new round of Swank for April starts today, and the apropos name is Spring Celebration. Indeed, it is coming on spring for the northern latitudes, but not all locales are swathed in sunlight, though they are dreaming of it. My first presentation for Spring Celebration is one such place.

Jumo has made a very beautiful and elegant silk and chiffon gown called Dominique. Inspired by the rococo style, this gown is a fine blend of alluring, opulent, and delicate. I am wearing the Dominique Gown Gold, in white and gold, with delicate rose patterns. It has straps of gold beads that continue down to drape the wearer's sides and lower back.  Dominique comes in the five standard mesh sizes and also is available in green, plum, silver, and sky colors.

69 Park Avenue has made another really fine design for men this time, the At Your Leisure Outfit. As is usual for 69 Park Avenue, shoes are standard with the outfit. Included are sunglasses and a scarf to help all the debonair gentlemen meet the capricious will of spring in a well-armed manner.

And, for dog and wolf lovers, 3rd Eye Perceptions has given us a real treat for their sophomore presentation. Their offering this month is Light My Way, with wolf companions carrying lanterns with lighted candles. The lanterns come in a choice of either of two sets, wood or metal, with three version of lantern for each set. The wood lanterns have white, oak, and blonde woods, and the metal lanterns have iron, silver, and gold metals. There are two styles of wolf in each set, as you can see below.

3rd Eye also has a gift available for shoppers, as well, and that is the Garden Candles Gift Set, a set of sixteen lilac and cream candles with two circling butterflies.

Here, you can better see the delicate and intricate patterns of gold and roses in the Dominique gown.

The Light My Way Wolf V2 is carrying the oak version of the wood lantern.

Here is a look at the Light My Way Wolf V2, with oak lantern on top, and with honey lantern on bottom. The fur detailing on the wolves is exquisite.

Here is a detailed look at the bead-work of the Dominique Gown as it drapes around the sides and lower back.

Adding to the vibrancy of the Dominique gown is a very intricate jewelry set with some very stunning pearls, some of them the centers of flowers. The set consists of a crown, earrings, necklace, bracelets, and two rings. If you will look closely, you can see that the pearls at the top of the crown actually are suspended outward from the base of the crown in a very unique and charming, but powerful, way.

Now, for a closer look at the beautiful Dominique Jewelry set.

Now, for a closer look at 69 Park Avenue's At Your Leisure Outfit. Also, note the Light My Way Wolf V2, with white wood lantern, in the upper left.

And, a better look at the sunglasses and scarf. Very classy, indeed!

Swank opens today, April 7, and lasts through the month. There are nearly 100 fine designers offering exclusive items, all for 300 lindens or less, and many of them have gifts for the shoppers. You can shop for women, men, children, beauty, home, and garden at the event. You certainly cannot miss the Spring Celebration!

A note of interest: every time before I post a blog, I verify that all the landmarks and Marketplace links are current.

AT SWANK: DECHE, 69 PARK AVENUE, ZURI JEWELRY, FLIPPANT, 3RD EYE PERCEPTIONS, POSESION

I love glitter, and I love unique, and this Deche Pelagic Gold gown gives me both, in abundance! The scallop design and slit on the side of the leg give this gown an extra dash of flash. There is an optional back piece, as well, which I have chosen to wear for the shoppers to see. This back piece gives even more flair to this exciting gown. Immediately, when I saw this gown, I knew I had to have it!

This gown comes in silver, as well. However, the gold and silver are available only in the fat pack of gowns, which includes blue, green, orange, pink, and purple, with a convenient HUD to quickly change between these colors. The gown comes in fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. I am wearing the fitmesh.

This is what the gown HUD looks like, showing the five colors of gowns.

Stebi is wearing 69 Park Avenue's Luck of the Irish suit that comes in a subtle green and gold plaid. This suit comes with several options. It has a gold shirt, without tie and with tie, either to wear alone or with the jacket. This outfit also comes with dress shoes, which Stebi is wearing.

The suit pieces come in a variety of sizing, including standard, fitmesh, and for the Slink mesh male body.

The gown has a very intricate and elegant back, and you can see that here, along with that amazing back piece.

The very fantastical Rainbows and Legends Fountain comes from 3rd Eye Perceptions, a newcomer to Swank. Well, they certainly made a fine impression with their first offering. This fountain is gorgeous, not to mention very practical, with two color versions--light and dark, 14 single animations, rainbow water with sound, and resize by edit, as well as copy. Here, you can see this amazing design.

Once again, Zuri Jewelry has given us a stunning set, the Sari in Mocha/Emerald, which compliments this Pelagic gown to complete perfection. The Tikki Head Piece also comes in Emerald/Mocha, which has green pearls instead of mocha. The Mocha/Emerald pieces include the tiara, the head piece, the necklace, and the earrings. The bracelets come in Emerald/Mocha, with green pearls. All the pieces of this set can be bought separately.

Here, you can see my intricate ensemble of Mocha/Emerald pieces. Such an elegant and regal set from Zuri.

Zuri is well-known for finishing the backs of her pieces, and here you can see the backs of the earrings and the dangle on the clasp of the necklace.

Now, for a closer look at the Emerald/Mocha bracelets. So much detailed work has gone into the Sari set.

You also can see the cute nails from Flippant. These are the Serendipity nails, with gold glitter shamrocks. Here is the complete set of choices for the Serendipity set.

And, Zuri Jewelry has one last cherry on top. There is a Sari Belly Jewel gift that matches the rest of the pieces. You can see that here.

The theme for Swank this month is Luck of the Irish, naturally enough, and you can find exclusive designs from nearly 100 designers for fashion, beauty, home and garden, and even something for children. Everything is 300 lindens or less. Many of the designers also have placed gifts for the shoppers, as well, and there is a special treat this month: GACHAS! I will not admit to being a gacha addict or anything like that, of course.

Here is your ride to Swank.

AT SWANK: B&C DESIGNER, 69 PARK AVENUE GQ

Two more great creations from Swank designers!

I am wearing the Dakota Lace Dress from B&C Designer, and my namesake could not be cuter! The bodice is black sheer with very delicate black lace embroidery. The back is low-cut halfway down. The fabric moves softly and gently with the body when walking.  You can remain cool while the rest of the room heats up!

Stebi's Ti Amo Red Leather Outfit from 69 Park Avenue is a very handsome outfit, with a black-and-red striped scarf, and a red tie for just the right accent. The pants are a very neat pinstripe that coordinate very well with the lines of the scarf.

As if the cute dress were not enough, the Dakota dress also comes with very cute Slink high heels adorned with little studs on the straps and larger ones on the back of the heels. These shoes come in both black and red versions. Here, you can see the red.

The Ti Amo Red Leather Outfit also comes with some very masculine sunglasses to set the ladies' hearts racing. Here, you can see the sunglasses more closely, as well as the striped scarf.

You still have two days to take advantage of the fantastic, exclusive creations by the nearly 100 designers at Swank. All items are 300 lindens or less, and many of the designers have very nice gifts for the shoppers, as well.
