BELLES PARISIENNES AND SEMI-PRECIOUS AT SWANK

Today, I am doing something a little different but more exciting. I have borrowed my very good friend, Stebi, to co-model with me so you can have a presentation of both male and female ensembles.

Swank will open on February 7 and will continue throughout the month. This month, the theme is 50 Shades of Red. As usual, there will be exclusive items, and everything is 300 lindens or less.

I am wearing the Tenue Be My Valentine gown by Belles Parisiennes, and Stebi is wearing the
Be My Valentine suit by Belles Parisiennes.  Here, you can see them.

The rose belt is optional, if you should choose not to wear it.

The Avalon jewelry set by Semi-Precious matches my gown very well and accents it perfectly without overwhelming it. Semi-Precious creates jewelry that is warm and accessible.  The soft polish of the semi-precious stones creates a sense of comfort that leaves the cold aloofness of their precious counterparts behind.  Unpretentious, elegantly crafted, Semi-Precious jewelry will complete any outfit with the quiet confidence of today's woman.

Here, you can see the HUD that comes with the Avalon set. There are an amazing 24 gems to choose from, and 3 metal colors.

AT SWANK: LYRICAL B!ZARRE TEMPLATES, INDULGE TEMPTATION

This beautiful and unique gown called, oh-so-correctly, Audacity is a truly elegant and opulent creation. It stands out in the crowd, and you will two, with it gracing your lovely avatar. The gold trim flows evenly around the 4-tiered skirt, with a neat gold belt that ties into a large gold bow in the back.

Here is that bow in close detail.

Complimenting the dress is the Indulge Temptation Majestique Set 12 with red pendants in necklace and earrings inlaid with glittery snowflakes. This is a very versatile set because it has a texture-change HUD with ten metal options for the intricately woven metal design. I, of course, have chosen the gold option to match the gold accents of the dress.

Here, a closer look at the jewelry details.

Here is the HUD showing the metals options. You can see, as well, the resize options provided.

Swank Happy Winterland will continue until the end of the month, with 40 designers showcasing exclusive creations all for 300 lindens or less. There is a hunt going on, as well, and some extra gifts generously provided by the merchants at their booths.
