AT DARK PASSIONS MIDSUMMER ENCHANTMENT EVENT: SENZAFINE, SPYRALLE, AND BUBBLE

The Dark Passions Midsummer Enchantment event runs until July 9, with many fine designers offering exclusive items for this event that also are going to be marked at least 25% off! Many of the merchants are taking part in the hunt, as well, offering very nice prizes for only 5 lindens.

Today, I am going to share with you designs from Senzafine, Spyralle, and Bubble.

First, let me introduce you to the lovely Melianthe gown from Senzafine. This sparkling gown comes with fits for Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya, which I am wearing here.

This is the color HUD for the gown.

Next, the beautiful and elegant Sea Crown headpiece from Spyralle. There are four color choices: gold, green, purple, and shell, which is a lovely off-white color. Here, I am wearing the purple version.

The Bloom earrings from Bubble are the perfect compliment to this ensemble. 

They come with a texture-change HUD for metals, beads, and pearls, so you can mix-and-match many beautiful combinations. Here is what that HUD looks like.

Bubble also has some really nice Damask Sandals as their hunt item, so don't miss out on those!

I also used eye shadows and lipstick from Zibska. You can see more about these items here on my previous blog.

You still have a couple of days left to head to Dark Passions Midsummer Enchantment to get the wonderful exclusive items the merchants are offering!

I was very happy to see that Meva was going to have some basalt column formations called Hexagon Rocks for the Gacha Guardians event. I played 15 times so I could get one of the special surprise, never-to-be-sold-anywhere Hexagon Rocks, and the exclusive formation that I won was the Meva Hexagon Rock Gate Dark.

The Dark Passions Midsummer Enchantment event runs until July 9, with many fine designers offering exclusive items for this event that also are going to be marked at least 25% off! Today, I am going to share with you designs from Zibska, Lumae, and Dark Passions Koffin Nails.

First, from Zibska, the beautiful Lethia Headpiece. It comes with a texture-change HUD to for the horns, the ruffle, and the roses and petals.

Here is what the HUD looks like, with an amazing 20 colors to choose from for the horns, 10 colors for the ruffles, and 8 colors for the roses and petals.

Zibska also is offering the Larel Eyeshadows with appliers for LeLutka, which I am very happy for, with my LeLutka Cate head, and for Omega. I am wearing Larel in the photos. Here are the colors in the Larel HUD.

There is also a very lovely hunt gift for you to find, as well. This is the Alise eye shadows set in LeLutka and Omega appliers. Here is a look at this beautiful and generous gift.

You can see how smooth and well-blended these makeups are in this photo.

I also am wearing Zibska's uniquely blended lipstick, the Blodwyn set, for LeLutka and Omega.  I have the advanced lighting model active in Firestorm Viewer, and the materials give this lipstick a nice gloss.

Here you can see the color options for the Blodwyn set.

I also have Lumae's Forehead Gems to share with you. These come in four styles for you to choose from. Today, I am wearing the Estasha Ruby & Diamond. Also available are the Aaina, Leena, and Minu. Each comes with 10 color options to choose from.

And, of course, Koffin Nails has two exclusive sets of lovely nails on offer. This is one of my favorite polish designers. I am wearing the Ornate Ombre set that comes with 12 varieties to choose from. Here is a closer look at these nails.

The other set of nails Koffin Nails has for lucky buyers is the Roses are Forever Goth set. This is a black-and-red designs set.

All the nails can be purchased as singles for Slink, Maitreya, and Omega for 90 lindens, which is 25% off the usual price. There are also fatpacks available for 218 lindens, and these also are on 25% discount. All the other nails Koffin is offering are 40% off the usual price.

As if this weren't enough, Koffin has a lovely hunt item available, as well. This is the Enchanted Masquerade set, with 5 color options.

!MUSA! AT WE LOVE ROLE-PLAY

!Musa! has created another vibrantly beautiful eyeshadow for We Love Role-Play, the Eyeshadow Agnes palette. I absolutely love the blending of these shadows as the colors smoothly flow together without any seams. Great artistry here! You get a set of eight color combinations for either classic avatars or with the Omega applier.

I am wearing the Cyan color here.

Here is the entire palette of color choices.

These eyeshadows are a must-have for any wardrobe!

AT SWANK: VIPS, MODERN COUTURE, INDULGE TEMPTATION, LUNA BODY ART, SEMI-PRECIOUS, POSESION

Vip's is offering an absolutely stunning gown for this round of Swank, the Swank Dress. This lovely creation fits snugly on the upper portion of the body and has a wide flounce at the bottom. I am wearing the black sequin and bead version since I love sequins and beads, but there are other options, as well. Buyers have the choice of two different HUDs to purchase; one HUD has four texture options, including the one I am wearing, and the other HUD offers eight textures for upper dress and eight options for lower dress, for mix-and-match combinations.

This gown is available in the five standard sizes, as well as fitted, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, and Slink.

The gown also comes with shoes that fit Slink high, Belleza, and Maitreya.

Here is a look at this beautiful gown.

The pose is from Posesion's Swank exclusive Bulloch set, complete with ten poses. This is the Bulloch 8.

Here is the Swank Dress HUD with the four options.

Here is a look at the shoe design.

Here, you can see the other side of the gown, showing the gathered flounce. This pose is the Bulloch 1.

The complimenting Jong headpiece is from Modern Couture Jewelry, who consistently offers fine accessories. The Jong comes in pink or white, as well, and can be bought separately.

The jewelry set is from Indulge Temptation. This is the finely-crafted Fey Berries Set 6, which comes with a HUD to change the metal and two bead textures.

This pose is Bulloch 6.

Here is the Indulge Temptation Fey Berries Set 6 HUD.

To complete the ensemble, I have chosen bracelets from Semi-Precious, part of the Taylor set that contains necklace, earrings, and bracelets. The Taylor is available in eight different color sets, each with metal changes for Antique, Silver and Gold, or there is a Mega-pack available that contains all the color options.

Luna Body Art has two new, unique sets of nail polishes for Slink that are exclusives for Swank this month. These are the Stylish sets. I am wearing a design from the Stylish set, but there is a Stylish Colors set available, as well.

This pose is, again, the Bulloch 6.

Here is what the mega-HUD for the Semi-Precious Taylor set looks like, showing all 24 gem options and the three metal options.

Here are the design options for the Luna Body Art Stylish set.

Swank has nearly a hundred designers bringing you exclusives for all your Second Life needs, all for 300 lindens or less, and many offer gifts to the shoppers, as well. Swank continues until the end of the month, so hurry to take advantage of these exclusive offers!

AT SWANK: BABOOM COUTURE, BELLES PARISIENNES, CH'S, INDULGE TEMPTATION, MODERN COUTURE, CAL MOTORS, POSESION

Today, I have several items to share with you from the fantastic designers at Swank's Spring Celebration round which continues through the end of the month.

First, I am wearing the lovely Fiona Dress in black and white from Baboom Couture. This is an original mesh creation from Baboom Couture. The Fiona also is available in black and gold, black and rose, and white and rose. This original creation comes in six mesh sizes.

My pose is from Posesion's exclusive Adelin set for this round, the Adelin 2.

Stebi is wearing the dashing Costume Graphic suit from Belles Parisiennes, which comes in the standard five sizes. This suit comes with a texture-change HUD, too, with choices of black or white shirt and five Classic and Original tie colors as well as five Crazy Touch tie colors. You can see the HUD for these options here.

The fantastic chopper is from Cal Motors. I love animal prints, and just look how that zebra seat fits in with the sleek lines of the chopper! This is a beautiful piece of work.

The chopper comes with a control HUD, too. This is what the control HUD for the chopper looks like.

Here, you can see the Costume Graphic suit and Fiona dress in closer detail. This pose is Posesion's exclusive Adeline 1. I really do feel like a flapper, and why not?! This is a very fun ensemble!

Modern Couture is offering a lovely headpiece for this round of Swank, the Empress Headpiece. There are three metal options to purchase individually: gold, silver, and black. I am wearing the silver metal.

The wonderfully matching necklace is from Indulge Temptation. The Boon necklace, as always with Indulge Temptation creations, comes with a texture-change HUD. The pose is Adelin 9.

Here is what the Boon necklace HUD looks like.



Indulge Temptation has another fine offering, too. Look at the exquisite detail in this Enchanted Roses ring. I am using Posesion's exclusive Adeline 10 pose.

This is the Enchanted Roses ring HUD.

Ch's has given us another pair of shoes, the adorable Ibel Slink high pumps, which come with a texture-change HUD with an amazing fifteen color options.

The pose is Posesion's exclusive Adelin 5.

This is the HUD for the Ibel pumps, showing all the colors and the leather textures in great detail.

Here is a closer look at the fine detailing of the Belles Parisiennes Costume Graphic suit. This is one sharp, chic suit!

You still have several days left to purchase these exclusive items at Swank's Spring Celebration.

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.

MODEL'S WORKSHOP DECEMBER CHALLENGE: FIRE AND ICE (SECOND PLACE)

This was completely fun. For this Fire and Ice challenge, I chose ice. I love snow and ice. I grew up at the west foot of the Rocky Mountains in Montana. I live in Nevada now, and I miss the snow greatly.

I was happy to get second place in this competition because, the sad truth is, I missed a couple things on the styling.

Without further speech, let's get to the pictures!

A NOTE OF INTEREST: Every time before I post a blog, I check all the landmarks and Marketplace links to make sure they are valid.
