AT SWANK: CELESTINA'S WEDDINGS, ZURI JEWELRY, LUNA BODY ART, POSESION POSES

Celestina's Weddings is offering the beautiful and elegant Chiara Couture Gown for the June round of Swank. This lovely sequin gown can be worn with or without the delicate flounce, which you can see me wearing below. I love the flounce, which adds a graceful flow to the gown.

The gown comes in a variety of fittings: There are five standard sizes of fitmesh, plus sizings for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. There also are several colors available: Aqua Sea, Black, Lime, Nude, Pink, and White.

The brooch on the bodice of the gown is a very nice optional item.

Below, you can more clearly see the sequin details of the gown.

I also am wearing Zuri Jewelry's exclusive Lotis Pink Diamond/Diamond/Gold set, which is available as a complete set. Two other colors are available, as well, the Amethyst/Platinum and the Sapphire/Platinum, which are available as separate pieces.

My fingernail polish is another bold creation from Luna Body Art, the Monochromatic set for Slink, which comes with ten color choices. You can see the HUD for those below.

Also included in the Lotis Pink Diamond/Diamond/Gold set is the Lotis Scepter, which you can see below. The scepter has a very elegant hold animation included.

As usual, Zuri Jewelry has a gift available for the shoppers, too, and you can see that very lovely gift here.

Here are several of Luna Body Art's Monochromatic color choices in action.

And, here is the HUD, showing all the colors available.

There still are several days left to shop at Swank's June Monochromatic round!

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.

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE NEW AMBROSIA JEWELRY SET

Moondance Boutique has an elegant and stunning new release out, the Ambrosia set. True to the quality and generous designs that come from Moondance, this lovely set has a necklace, two sets of earrings, two styles of bracelets, two styles of rings, a brooch, and an intricate crown. Here, you can see the complete set, with the exception of the daisy earrings; I chose to wear the Chandalere earrings for this styling. I have attached the brooch to the front of the gown as a pleasing adornment.

This set comes, of course, with the Moondance trademark texture-change options for all the pieces in the set. Once again, there is the option to change the textures and sizes of the pieces as a collective group or as individual pieces. There are seven metal colors, ten opal colors, and ten gem colors to choose from to mix and match, with almost unlimited color combination possibilities.

The metal I have chosen is platinum, with pink for the opal, and for the gems, I have chosen diamonds. This is quite a lovely combination that I feel very regal in!

Here, you can see the finished backs of the Chandalere earrings and the generous clasp of the necklace.

Here is a closer look at the Ambrosia Diamond Opal Ring and the Ambrosia Dangle Bracelet.

Now, for a look at the Ambrosia Daisy Ring and the Ambrosia Bracelet.

Here, you can see the different color choices for the metal, opals, and gems.

You can buy all the pieces as one set or buy individual pieces if you desire to do that.

You can find the Ambrosia set at the main store as well as at the Jewelry and Accessory Expo now running until March 5.

MODEL'S WORKSHOP NOVEMBER CHALLENGE, VIRTUAL FUR (SECOND PLACE)

FUR IS FUN, PINK IS FUN, SO I DECIDED TO WEAR FUN, PINK FUR! In the process, I became a diva princess. This was a truly fun styling, and, as usual, many individual pieces came together to make the complete look. I was happy to get second place, which is always better than last! Here is a link to the Model's Workshop page where you can see the winner, Tanya Green, and pictures of the rest of the entries. I love Tanya's hat!

I went on location at Winter Holiday Village to shoot the pictures you will see here, but the poses are the ones I used in the challenge, in the order they appeared on the runway. All the poses used are from *PoSEsioN*, my favorite pose store, because I find their poses are compatible with my style. Also, they make very good quality for use on the runway. The first pose used is *PosESioN* Helena 9.

The second pose is *PosESioN* Geminis 1.

And, the third pose is *PosESioN* Geminis 7.

Not used on the runway, but used here for detail purposes are *PosESioN* Jewelry 7

and *PosESioN* Nails II 9.

You can get a closer look at all the accessories I used in these two pictures. Note the nail polish from La Boheme, Roar, that completely matches this outfit. The Celebration Ring from Chop Zuey comes with an amazing HUD to change the color of all gems and the metal, plus resizer. This ring comes in both female and male versions. Here, you can see for yourself this very fine HUD. This is a gift that also is available to non-group members for Fabulously Free. Hurry to Chop Zuey before this is gone!
