OLYMPICS METALLICS

 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 January/February 2024 issue was “Olympics Metallics.”  This is the photo I submitted for that challenge:

 I was chosen to be in the magazine, and  here are the photos that appeared in the magazine.  The photographer is BonieFacio Resident:

Here is a link to the magazine: Models Magazine January/February 2024 issue.  The styling challenge feature begins on page 84.  I am on pages 92 to 95.

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: DESTINY STYLE, VIRTUAL DIVA, INCENDIA OUTDOORS

Today, I have for you several items from three top designers: A clothing ensemble from Destiny Style, hair and poses from Virtual Diva, and a neat little birdhouse from Incendia Outdoors.

First is a lovely jacket and skirt ensemble from Destiny Style, the "September Morning" Rose. The jacket and skirt are separate pieces, so you can get even more use from the two if you care to mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe. The palette is warm and welcoming. The sleeves and jacket back are a mauve knit, as well as the back panel of the skirt. The front panel of the skirt and the asymmetrical front jacket panel are made of watercolored leaves mixed with more defined leaf prints. Very smart, this outfit.

The pose is from Virtual Diva and is called VD Fall8.

Here, you can see the jacket and skirt set more clearly. Note the leaves on the sleeve cuffs.

This pose also is from Virtual Diva, the VD Fall10.

The "September Morning" Rose ensemble also comes with a gold, chain-link necklace and bracelet with a nicely engraved plate that proclaims, "Love Me."  Below, you can see a closeup of the necklace.

The adorable page boy is by Virtual Diva.  The cut is shorter in the back, tapering to longer in the front.  You get eleven colors to choose from, so you can be very versatile. I chose the Rouge because it matches the colors of the "September Morning" Rose so well.

Here, you can see the bracelet in more detail, as well as the watercolored  pattern on the jacket bottom and the knit leaf skirt front.

Here is a detailed closeup of the clasp on the right side of the jacket.

This set even comes with the boots! There is an inside zipper on each boot. You definitely get a lot for your money with this purchase!

The adorable birdhouse in the scenes is from Incendia Outdoors. It fits perfectly into my landscaping. It is lushly entwined with much ivy. The dirt at the bottom of the birdhouse is texture-change! There are five options: Light Dirt, Medium Dirt, Dark Dirt, Sparkle Sand, and Dirty Sand. I have chosen Light Dirt for my birdhouse. Here is a closer look at the houses, already occupied by some little friends.

The Swank event offers exclusive items, all for 300 L and under. Wear your group tag to claim your gifts.  Swank will be open until the end of the month.

PREY KAA AT BOSL INTERNATIONAL FASHION WEEK 2015

Prey's two-piece ensemble of silk top and weave skirt is a must-have for those that appreciate quality combined with unique. I love how the snakeskin skirt mirrors the drape of the smart little halter top that ties in two places at the back. Also, the skirt has a cut-out that goes from one side to the other. This ensemble also comes with a matching snake necklace and a gold lace-work upper-arm cuff.  This very chic outfit will stand out and be noticed anywhere you go!
