AT SWANK: BLACKROSE, REBELLION, THE ROMANO COLLECTION, VINTAGE TOUCH, CIRCA LIVING

More wonderful things are awaiting you at Swank!

I am wearing the very cute Blackrose Corset Set. This outfit comes with two pieces: a top that has pouffe sleeves and a high-waisted corset skirt. The skirt has a very nice addition in the fabric, which you can see below.  There are several color options that can be purchased separately. There is the Black set, which I am wearing, but there also are the Black/Ice (white), the Black/Pink, the Black/Red, the Black/Sky (blue), and the Leaf set, which is a yellow top with brown skirt. The sets come in the standard five sizes.

Stebi is wearing Rebellion's Revenant jacket. This very finely-crafted jacket comes with a HUD to change both the leather color as well as the shirt design. There are six leather colors and eight shirt options, including no shirt. The jacket comes in small, medium, and large, plus two fitmesh sizes.

Stebi's Urban Leather Pants come from the Romano Collection. There are six different color options to choose from, ranging from black to greys to browns that can be bought separately. Stebi is wearing the brown edition. These unusual pants are available in the standard five sizes, but also come in Slink, Adam, Aesthetic, and TMP.

And, here is that adorable addition to the skirt material I mentioned earlier. I fell in love with this the moment I saw it! I love corsets, anyway, but when I saw that sweet fabric, I was not going anywhere!

Here are the backs of those very nice Revenant jacket and Urban Leather Pants. You can see the detailed work that has gone into the fleur-de-lis pattern on the jacket back and into the studs on the pants pockets.

I am wearing the Veritas Silver Pendant in aquamarine from Vintage Touch. This necklace also is availabe in amethyst, emerald, diamond, ruby, and sardonyx. Vintage Touch is offering a gift this month, the Blue Abalone Ring.

Here, you can see the very skilled detail in the Revenant jacket, including a fleur-de-lis on the upper arm.

Stebi is wearing the Boldt Koren men's necklace from Luminesse.

Circa Living has much to offer shoppers this month. There are the Cafe Volo sets, Tall Table & Stool Sets that are available in nine different color combinations for the table and two chairs. Circa Living also is offering many different neon and chalk signs. The style can be used for either a coffee house or bar setup (or both.)

Each Cafe Volo tall table and stools set has many café quality animations for drinking, eating, chatting, reading, listening to music, including stands and various sits for both male and female. Each stool seat has 16-plus animations and each table has 15 stand animations. In addition, there are automatically rezzing props to go with the animations. And, each table set comes with a floral and shakers centerpiece.

Stebi and I are using the Cafe Volo Cherry/Dk Cocoa set with the Red centerpiece. On the wall directly behind us is the Cafe Volo Neon Coffee Sign. This sign does not have any texture-change options, but the Hot Coffee Cup and Premium Coffee cup signs do have seven texture-change wood colors: teak, hazelnut, hazelnut2, cocoa, cherry, black, and silver. These two signs are just two options from the many Coffee and Cocktail signs available.

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

There is about a week of fantastic shopping time left for the Swank event. Be sure to get all your living needs from the more than 100 designers, all with exclusive items at 300 lindens or less, and even gifts!

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.

AT SWANK: BABOOM COUTURE, INDULGE TEMPTATION, OUTSIDE THE BOX!

Today, many more great items from Swank!

I will start with the Cindy vest from Baboom Couture.  This is the Vintage Peacock vest, a beautiful, sturdy leather vest with a gold zipper on the front right side and two zippered pockets on the left upper side, the lower pocket with a gold stud. On each lapel, there is a gold skull, and on the bottom sides, two studs with a rivet in the middle. My favorite feature of this vest is the peacock on the left lapel and on the back.

The furniture is from Outside the Box!  I especially like the tree-branch book shelf. Very clever and unique, this design. There are five female sits and two male sits in the chair.

This is the female Sit 1, a very feminine sit.

Here is a more detailed view of the antique-print pillow and fabric of the chair and ottoman.

The beautiful jewelry is from Indulge Temptation. This is a combination of pieces from the Hathor 6 and Hathor 9 sets.  The necklace is the Hathor Necklace 2 from the Hathor 6 collection, and the Hathor Earrings 3 are from Hathor 9 collection. These sets come with a texture-change hud for an option of ten metals colors and twenty-four color options for four sets of gems, so you can mix and match the colors.  I am sporting a combination of yellow diamond, topaz, and pink sapphire.

You can see more detail in the jewelry and the skulls and peacock of the vest here.

This is what the Hathor sets texture-change hud looks like.  You can see for yourself the almost limitless color combinations that can be attained with this hud!

Now, for a look at the peacock on the back of the vest.  There is even a hood on this vest for the more chilly autumn evenings when you might want to layer with a nice flannel shirt.

AT SWANK: DREAMZ DESIGNZ, MY SHOES, ZURI JEWELRY, TH

First, let me present this stunning and fantastic dress from Dreamz Designz, the Tiffany. This holographic dress breathes with life as it shimmers and shines in endless glints with every subtle move you make. The upper part of the dress is crossed by a diagonal panel that is a solid color, while the rest of the top and the skirt are covered in asymmetrical patterns that remind me of giraffe spots.

Even more exciting, this dress comes with a texture-change hud that has eight combination options to choose from. I chose the grey panel with the more subdued blue patterns.

That unique Equino table is from TH. Such an unusual design, and I love the weathered wood color of it, with a hint of blue. It comes equipped with a shadow, as well.

Here, you can see the panel and shapes of the dress more clearly, and the individual panes of the holographic squares.

Here is what the Tiffany hud looks like.  You can see all the panel and patterns options you have.

The leather boots are from MY Shoes, the Jaina Boots.  I am wearing the fitmesh version, but there are several options to choose from. You have the Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Slink, and Venus options.  I chose the grey leather because they fit the dress so well.

Here is the texture-change hud for the boots, with an amazing ten colors to choose from. You can better see the leather texture here, as well.

The lovely jewelry set, Noel Blue Opal-Amethyst, is from Zuri Jewelry. Look at the incredible detail in this skillful design. Stunning work that gives a stunning look to captivate every eye as one walks into a room.

Here, you can get a better idea of the intricate detail that goes into every piece of the set. There is the silver bow on the clasp, and even the backs of the earrings are designs complete unto themselves. Truly incredible work.

My Autumn nails are from Luna Body Art. I chose the grey base with silver flowers to match the Tiffany dress.

The Autumn hud comes with ten colors and five pattern textures, which you can see here.

Swank showcases 40 designers that offer you exclusive items all for 300 L or less. Swank is open until the end of the month.  Don’t miss out on these incredible designs, and be sure to wear your Swank tag to receive special gifts.
