AT SWANK: CELESTINAS WEDDINGS, YOU GOT THE LOOK BY DARLA, GLITTER POSES

Today, I have another wonderful creation by Celestinas Weddings, the Angel Nuriel Gown White and Gold. It comes in fittings for Maitreya, all the Belleza bodies, all the Slink bodies, one fitted mesh, and five standard sizes. It comes with an ear cuff, two rings, both fitted for Bento and classic hands, a head band, shoes for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink, plus three styles of wings with resizer menus. This is a very complete package!

Celetinas Weddings also is offering the fantastic Courtyard of Heaven Set 2017, which includes a reception area, a gazebo, event tables and chairs with food and drinks menu, planters, trees, flowers, fountain, statuettes, stars, clouds, champagne, wrought iron fence, and hedges borders. All this comes in a rezzer box. In addition, it has a resizer menu. This is a very large setup that you can mix and match and use in many various ways.

Here is a general view of the Courtyard of Heaven Set 2017. I am using Glitter Poses GP Sunlight 7.

A closer look at the gazebo.

Here, you can see one of the lovely table placements and one of the statuettes in the Courtyard of Heaven Set 2017. This pose is Glitter Poses GP Sunlight 10.

This is a different view showing a different table setting and statuette, as well as some of the lovely trees and the hedge borders, plus the fountain that comes with the Courtyard of Heaven Set 2017. The pose is, again, from Glitter Pose's wonderful Sunlight set, this time, the GP Sunlight 9.

Here is a close look at the very highly detailed Angel Nuriel Ring Bento Hand that comes with the Angel Nuriel Gown White and Gold set. I also am wearing You Got the Look by Darla's Angelica Nail Polish for Slink. It also comes with appliers for Belleza and Maitreya hands. I am using the Slink Dynamic Bento Hands here.

And, of course, you need to see the lovely Nuriel Angel High Heels shoes that come with the Nuriel outfit.

Swank's City of Angels will be open until the end of the month, but hurry over today to get these lovely, exclusive items from these top designers.

AT SWANK: GHOSTYSS, CH'S, LYRICAL B!ZARRE TEMPLATES, IP NAILS, VIRTUAL DIVA POSES

Swank's City of Angels is still going strong, so take advantage of the special, exclusive offers before they are gone on the 30th!

Today, I present Ghostyss' Renata White lingerie. This comes with Omega applier. The top is quite sheer, tapering to a more opaque bottom piece.

I also have Ch's Liz heels for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. These come with a color-change HUD that has 30 different colors in it.

Lyrical B!zarre Templates has given us a mixed bag this month. You get a wonderful set of gem-change wings in both silver and gold metal, plus five different gems to choose from.

Virtual Diva has created yet another set of fantastic poses this month. The Glowing Angel set has ten poses, from flying to sitting, and is a quite complete set. Here, you can see me using the VD Glowing 1 pose.

Here is a closer look at Ch's beautiful heels.

IP Nails has created the Angel set of nails this time. These are compatible with Slink Classic nails as well as the new Slink Dynamic Bento hands, which I am wearing today. There also are appliers for Omega, Maitreya, and Vista Bento hands. Here are the Angel nails in more detail, plus all the colors in the appliers.

Returning to Lyrical B!zarre Templates, there is a set of full-perm walls available, which, as a photographer and model, I truly appreciate. You can see one of the backdrops in my full body shot above.

Here is the ride to Swank.

AT SWANK: ISA D'ORABLE CREATIONS, BELIER ACCESSORIES, DULCE SECRETS, GLITTER POSES

Swank round, City of Angels is on!

Today, Angel dress in Maitreya fit by Isa D'orable. The dress also is available in all the Belleza and Slink bodies, as well as standard sizes. I am wearing the Slink boots, but the boots also come in Maitreya, Belleza, and fitmesh. The wings also are included with the outfit.

This pose is from Glitter Poses Sunshine collection, GP Sunlight 7.

I wear my stylish Belier Enon Shades at night, oh yes! In the rain, even! They come with a texture-change HUD with eight frame colors, six lens colors, and three metal choices. Here is a look at that HUD:

Here is a closer look at the shades and some greater detail on the intricate ruffles on the dress, and some extra wing detail.

This pose is Glitter Poses GP Sunlight 10.

Dulce Secrets has offered up this beautiful set of On Fleek makeups, which include the lipstick, which is a perfect fit for this Angel dress. I have Advanced Lighting Model enabled, which gives a beautiful gloss to the lipstick, which, without the Advanced Lighting, is a more matte texture. I have used the Lelutka applier for my wonderful new Cate head, but the makeups also come with Omega and Catwa appliers, as well as Classic style.

Here are the different eyeshadows colors:

Swank will be in full swing until the end of the month, but don't delay in going to take advantage of the many exclusive items waiting for you.

AT SWANK: SI, ZURI JEWELRY, GLITTER POSES

This month, Swank has joined with the Stuffs Groups to bring a spooktactular joint event and hunt your way.

First, I present Si's really fantastic design, the Anastacia, adorned with white and pink flowers. I love the cage that gives just an extra touch of magnificence to this creation. It comes with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega. I am wearing the white edition, but there also is a black edition available.

The pose I am using is from Glitter Poses, from the exclusive Hips set. This set comes with ten different poses, many with mirrors. You can buy individual poses or buy the entire set.

Zuri Jewelry always has such wonderful designs for the shoppers. This month's exclusive offer is the French Kiss V2 set, which includes necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. There are four different color sets to choose from. I am wearing the Pink Diamond/Quartz set. You can see all the sets farther down.

Here is a detailed look at the back of the necklace and earrings.

Here is a very close look at the bracelet with all its intricate details. Such craftsmanship!

Here, you can see all the Zuri Jewelry sets available at Swank this month.

This is Zuri Jewelry's Spooktacular hunt gift. I am not going to say where the special black rose gift is located, but I will say it is worth the look and not so very hard to find!

There are over 100 designers bringing you all manner of wares to Swank this month, from makeup, clothing, accessories, and poses to home furnishings. There is something for everyone at the Swank n Stuff Gothic Spooktacular event running until the end of the month. Don't forget the hunt, with special black roses hidden around the Swank area. There are rides, a haunted house, and a photo contest. This is an exciting month, and you don't want to miss out.

AT SWANK: SAGE AND ZURI JEWELRY

For the month of July, I present to you the beautiful Sage Christi Dress. This empire-waist dress comes in three versions. Because I love butterflies, I am wearing the version 1.

Here are versions 2 and 3.

Each of the versions comes with a texture-change HUD, with many options, too! Here is a closer look at that HUD.

Sage is one of the designers that are becoming more rare each day that gives a variety of wearing choices for different bodies. There are the five standard sizes, five fitmesh sizes, and fits for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. Thank you so much for the hard work you put into giving us all a chance to wear your beautiful designs!

To compliment the Christi Dress, I have chosen one of my favorite designers, Zuri Jewelry, and her wonderful Sashi Set in Champagne/Diamond/Copper. This set comes with necklace, earrings, and ring. Also available for individual sale are a set of bracelets and a choker.

In addition, Zuri Jewelry is offering a set of Sashi Earrings V2 as this month's gift for Swank shoppers. Here is a look at this beautiful pair of earrings.

This month's theme for Swank is Swank on the Beach, and, as you might imagine, there is a huge selection of things available for summer and the beach, coming to you from over 100 designers of all types of things, from personal to household. And, of course, many of the designers are offering gifts for the shoppers. Swank continues to the end of the month.

AT SWANK: BAKABOO, LUXE PARIS MEN, XEN'S HATS, LUMINESSE, KAYA'S, TM, 3RD EYE PERCEPTIONS, POSESION

This is quite a mix of fantastic items from the wonderful designers at Swank for this month of May.

First, I will start with Bakaboo, who has given us an adorable sunflower and butterfly shift dress, the Spring Mod Dress Sunflowers. This dress also is available in Florals and Lotus designs. All are available in the standard five sizes. For the men, there is a shirt and pants outfit that coordinates with the women's designs.

My pose is from Posesion's exclusive Bulloch set, the Bulloch 1.

This pose is Posesion's Bulloch 8.

Stebi is wearing the Luxe Paris Men Atlantic City outfit, a stylish casual outfit with mint green knit sweater with cowl-style collar and grey jeans. This outfit comes in the five standard sizes for classic avatars, plus it is compatible with Slink and TMP avatars, as well.

To perfectly accessorize the Spring Mod Dress, Xen's Hats has designed a very chic headband with sunflower. This accessory comes in many different colors with different colors for the flower center, including red, pink, orange, and white, all of them exclusive this month.

Luminesse Jewelry has an exclusive design inspired by chandeliers and an old-fashioned style, the partial mesh Siella necklace and earrings set, which comes in two versions: the Aline Gold and the Cerise Gold. I am wearing the Cerise Gold earrings, made with orange jasper and diamonds. The Aline Gold set is made with tanzanite and diamonds. These sets are very intricately designed, as you can see here.

This is what the complete Cerise Gold set looks like. Fantastic detailing on these pieces!

There are also two exclusive necklaces for the gentleman, as well: the tribal design Boldt Koren, which comes in blue, onyx, and silver, and the Boldt Rush, which comes in red, onyx, and silver. Stebi is wearing the Boldt Rush. This is what the stunning Rush looks like in close detail.

Now, on to the details of our picnic!

Kaya's Ray of Sunshine has a lot to offer shoppers this month, all of which can be purchased separately. There are choices of four different Adirondack chairs (gold, red, green, and blue,) four watermelon tables (cobalt, orange, teal, and yellow) that come with a watermelon and dispense watermelon slices, two lanterns (green, red,) a light blue cooler (not shown,) and a mason jar garden light (not shown.)

The mesh rock garden is from TM Creation. This Swank exclusive is the sweet Spring Garden Arrangement. It compliments my land very well.

Here is a closer look at the Spring Garden Arrangement.

And, last but certainly not least, is 3rd Eye Perception's third offering for Swank. Since their debut, they consistently have presented shoppers with excellent, unique, quality items, such as this Slumbering Bear Family. This linked set includes mother bear and two cubs, the rocks with climbing ivy, the sapling, and luxurious grass.

Swank still has about a week and a half for you to buy the exclusives offered by the nearly one hundred designers, all for 300 lindens or less, plus gifts offered by many of the designers. You will find something for all your living needs at Swank!

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

AT SWANK: BYRNE, MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE, Q-ESSENTIALS

Today, I have new and exclusive designs for Swank.

I will start with Bryne's Noke outfit, a corset top and low-rise asymmetrical skirt that come in the five standard sizes of rigged mesh, materials enabled, and can be purchased in gold, silver, rose, and teal, or as a fatpack. All the colors come in the marble design, like you can see below in gold. Also, each set comes with a necklace.

That lovely Around the World desk comes from Q-Essentials and so does the Around the World map. Now, I really feel like travelling, after seeing this cute suitcase-inspired desk!

Moondance has the Anai jewelry collection to offer. This set comes with necklace, three earring styles, two bracelets, two rings, and a bindi. As always, there are many texture-change options available, as well as the option to change or resize one or all of the pieces at the same time. I have chosen gold metal, black pearls, and quartz stones. All the pieces can be purchased individually or as a complete set, which is the way I suggest.

Below, you can better see the intricate work of the Anai set. I am wearing the Anai Fan Stud earrings.

Here, you can see the many options and pieces in the Anai set.

Now, off to Swank you go!

AT SWANK: JUMO, 69 PARK AVENUE, 3RD EYE PERCEPTIONS

The new round of Swank for April starts today, and the apropos name is Spring Celebration. Indeed, it is coming on spring for the northern latitudes, but not all locales are swathed in sunlight, though they are dreaming of it. My first presentation for Spring Celebration is one such place.

Jumo has made a very beautiful and elegant silk and chiffon gown called Dominique. Inspired by the rococo style, this gown is a fine blend of alluring, opulent, and delicate. I am wearing the Dominique Gown Gold, in white and gold, with delicate rose patterns. It has straps of gold beads that continue down to drape the wearer's sides and lower back.  Dominique comes in the five standard mesh sizes and also is available in green, plum, silver, and sky colors.

69 Park Avenue has made another really fine design for men this time, the At Your Leisure Outfit. As is usual for 69 Park Avenue, shoes are standard with the outfit. Included are sunglasses and a scarf to help all the debonair gentlemen meet the capricious will of spring in a well-armed manner.

And, for dog and wolf lovers, 3rd Eye Perceptions has given us a real treat for their sophomore presentation. Their offering this month is Light My Way, with wolf companions carrying lanterns with lighted candles. The lanterns come in a choice of either of two sets, wood or metal, with three version of lantern for each set. The wood lanterns have white, oak, and blonde woods, and the metal lanterns have iron, silver, and gold metals. There are two styles of wolf in each set, as you can see below.

3rd Eye also has a gift available for shoppers, as well, and that is the Garden Candles Gift Set, a set of sixteen lilac and cream candles with two circling butterflies.

Here, you can better see the delicate and intricate patterns of gold and roses in the Dominique gown.

The Light My Way Wolf V2 is carrying the oak version of the wood lantern.

Here is a look at the Light My Way Wolf V2, with oak lantern on top, and with honey lantern on bottom. The fur detailing on the wolves is exquisite.

Here is a detailed look at the bead-work of the Dominique Gown as it drapes around the sides and lower back.

Adding to the vibrancy of the Dominique gown is a very intricate jewelry set with some very stunning pearls, some of them the centers of flowers. The set consists of a crown, earrings, necklace, bracelets, and two rings. If you will look closely, you can see that the pearls at the top of the crown actually are suspended outward from the base of the crown in a very unique and charming, but powerful, way.

Now, for a closer look at the beautiful Dominique Jewelry set.

Now, for a closer look at 69 Park Avenue's At Your Leisure Outfit. Also, note the Light My Way Wolf V2, with white wood lantern, in the upper left.

And, a better look at the sunglasses and scarf. Very classy, indeed!

Swank opens today, April 7, and lasts through the month. There are nearly 100 fine designers offering exclusive items, all for 300 lindens or less, and many of them have gifts for the shoppers. You can shop for women, men, children, beauty, home, and garden at the event. You certainly cannot miss the Spring Celebration!
