SHORT SHORTS

Each issue of Models Magazine has a Styling Challenge feature.  This is where readers of the magazine are given the opportunity to be included in the magazine to present a fashion styling based on that issue’s challenge theme.  The challenge for the Models Magazine July/August 2024 issue was “Short Shorts.”  This is the photo I submitted for that challenge:

I was lucky enough to be chosen to be in the magazine.  Here is a link to the Models Magazine issue for this challenge.  The styling feature begins on page 64.  I am on pages 92 to 95.

Here are the photos that appeared in the magazine.  The photographer is Boniefacio Resident:

SOMETHING NEW DELIGHTS

I want to share some really nice items with you, starting with the Emilia top and skirt by Le Fil Casse, who is one of those stores I love because they are always creating cute and unusual things.  I love this two-tone, glittery fabric in pink and yellow, just the perfect combination for summer.  The top and skirt are sold separately, in case you should want to buy only one or the other.  These should be in the main store soon.

The frilled Nierembergia shoes from Empire come with a 20-color HUD to change the shoe base, as well as the individual ruffles, plus several metals options.  These cute shoes come in fits for Slink, which I am wearing here, Maitreya, and Belleza.

The adorable Slice Purse in Lilac is from LaGyo, yet another one of my favorite stores because of their unique creations.  There are several colors of this fun purse available, both with pose and without pose, which I am wearing here.

There is an adorable Lilac fruit Sorbet Necklace and Sorbet Earrings jewelry set to match the Lilac Slice Purse, too, and, of course, the jewelry sets come in several colors to match the Slice purses.  The necklace and earrings can be resized and re-positioned for the perfect fit.  You can see the set here:

Katat0nik is another of my favorite stores, and they recently released the wonderful Choco Rose Headdress.  This is a set that comes in both right and left pieces that can be worn separately or together.  I think the two pieces worn together make quite a statement.  I did not yet see the set in the main store, but it should be arriving soon from last month's Collabor88.

And, to perfectly complete my jewelry ensemble is the Rainforest Ring Set by Yummy, available for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza Bento hands.  I am wearing the Slink edition here.  This rings set comes with different rings for the left and right hands, but I just love that beetle on the left hand.  Of course, the rings can be made invisible, as well.  You can find these rings at the current Collabor88.  During the event, individual color sets are available, but after the event, only the full color HUD set will be available, which you can see here:

I hope you love these wonderful creations as much as I do!

MISS VIRTUAL DIVA FACE OF FASHION LIVE AUDITION "KISS THE BRIDE" STYLING

I am very happy to have been chosen to move on to the second phase of the Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion competition, the Live Audition. There were almost 30 ladies who participated this year in the Live Audition portion of the Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion competition. Those with the highest scores will move on to be official Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion contestants. It would be fantastic if we all could move on to be official contestants!

Our assignment was to choose a couture design from the Virtual Diva store and create a bridal styling. I chose the lovely Timeless Gown Couture Beige as the basis for my styling.  I absolutely love this color, and it was a great inspiration for my styling.

This is my photo submission for the Live Audition "Kiss the Bride" styling:

This is the description I wrote for the Live Audition "Kiss the Bride" styling:

When I think of weddings, I think of outdoor weddings, and I especially love the colors of autumn, and so this became the inspiration for my Kiss the Bride wedding styling, using autumnal golds, oranges, and browns to accentuate the lovely autumn color of Virtual Diva's Timeless Gown Couture Beige, a rich silk design with a lovely large bow on the front of the dress.

Thinking of the outdoors, I naturally am reminded of the living things that abound in nature, and so I adorned myself with living things, from the amazing Musha Yellow mushroom hair accessory from Lode, to the delicate Eugenia insects from LaGyo on my hair and on the mushrooms, to the adorable Honeybee earrings from Finesmith, to the chic Bee Bracelet from Touchic, to the ChicChica Precious Rose Gold long-stemmed rose I carry in my right hand, to the simple little Dandelion Flowers and Petals from Coal's Corner that float gracefully around me, and right down to the Scattered Roses petals under my feet by Artisan Fantasy, There is even a happy golden spider that rides gracefully on my Gold Mesh Spider Veil by Maria.

To me, autumn is very rich in texture, and I wanted to accentuate the richness of Virtual Diva's Timeless Gown Couture Beige by adding MMC's Morganna Bodysuit beneath the gown. I added a hair veil and gown train from Drama Zone, and chose silk opera gloves from Etchaflesh. To complete my look, I chose to wear Aisling's Nura Collar with Gems and Chains with texture-change options. Of course, i chose metals and gems that are autumnal colors that match my entire outfit and beautifully showcase Virtual Diva's Timeless Gown Couture Beige.

What a wonderful wedding day this will be!
