AT SWANK: JUMO, SOMERSET, LUNA BODY ART, INCENDIA OUTDOORS

I want to share this very lovely Jumo Winslet Outfit with you. All those that know me know I love bead work, and this dress is exquisitely beaded, in green, perfect for St. Patrick's Day! It comes in the five standard mesh sizes. This is an outfit, which means it comes with the necklace, the earrings, two bracelets, and two rings. The Jewelry is resizeable, of course. It also comes with the shoes, in three different sizes, that I am wearing with my Slink feet.

Stebi is wearing the Somerset Men's Business Suit, which is handsome enough to match the Winslet dress very well. He is wearing the black version with an emerald shirt, but the suit comes with texture-change HUDs with eight colors for the shirt, the tie, the jacket, and the pants, so you can mix and match for many combinations.

The adorable Luck of the Irish Wishing Well is from Incendia Outdoors. It comes with the shamrocks surrounding the base of the well, and it has a planter in the well section with more shamrocks in it, and a lucky pot of gold that sparkles! More about the wishing well in a bit.


Here, you can see the HUDS for the Somerset suit.




Now, for a closer look at the Jumo Winslet jewelry. All the pieces are resize, for your convenience. You also can see the cute wheel on the end of the Incendia wishing well.


Here, you can also see the cute Lucky Me! nails for Slink from Luna Body art. There are a variety of ten different Irish designs to choose from. I am using the green base with white shamrocks. Very cute!


These are the designs that come with the Luna nails.


Of course, you have to have a closer look at the Winslet Sandals in green. You also can see better the cloth texture of the wishing well's pillow.


I promised more about the wishing well, and here it is! The wishing well comes with five solo sits, including three ground sits, a lying/reading animation, and a stump sit. There are five couple standing cuddles, as well. Here, you can see Cuddle Five, which has a cute animation that includes a sweet kiss.


The theme for Swank this month is Luck of the Irish, naturally enough, and you can find exclusive designs from nearly 100 designers for fashion, beauty, home and garden, and even something for children. Everything is 300 lindens or less. Many of the designers also have placed gifts for the shoppers, as well, and there is a special treat this month: GACHAS! I will not admit to being a gacha addict or anything like that, of course.

I WAS ACCEPTED!

Oh, my goodness! It is my lucky week! I was accepted into the Visionaire Institute photography class! Yaaayyy! lol

Classes start on Sunday, and we already have a homework assignment, which is to arrive at class as anything but human! Well, it might just as well start out difficult!  lol I can't wait to begin!

In the meantime, I thought I would do a bit of work on my favorite RAW shot that I used to apply to Visionaire. I really don't have the time, but I am going to do this, anyway.

Here is the original RAW photo.


The work was minimal and subtle, but I like the darker feel of the ocean and sky and the brighter intensity of the aurora.


Thank you for looking!

VISIONAIRE INSTITUTE APPLICATION PHOTOGRAPHS

I blog. It's what I do. Laugh out loud. As a blogger, I am sharing the great creations of Second Life designers with the whole shopping world. Well, I also am a shopper, and when I go shopping, if the ads are too artful, to the point of not correctly representing the colors and shapes of the designs on display, I most often will not buy those items, and certainly never if there is no demo available so I can accurately look at the items as I would be using them.

Therefore, when I am representing designs to potential buyers in my blogs, I keep my photos straight-forward and simple, with very little in-world manipulation or post-photo editing, so the buyers can accurately see what they will be buying.

That does not mean that I don't have a fledgling creative side tucked away down in there, however! I have been wanting to take the Visionaire Institute photography course for some time. I recently attended a Photography for Models workshop conducted by Visionaire, and that really opened up my eyes to what I didn't know and was missing out on in my use of Second Life and Firestorm photography tools! Now, more than ever, I want to take the full Visionaire photography course so I can fully learn and take advantage of the photography tools at my disposal.

To apply, applicants must submit from three to five photographs taken by them. At least one of these photos must be RAW, meaning there is no post-photo processing work done on it. Well, that made my decision easy! I would submit some RAW photos and save myself some work!

Now, for the photo submissions for the Visionaire Institute application, I took the liberty of actually going out to take some "creative" photos using the tools I had learned about in the Visionaire workshop, since there certainly is not an abundance of creative photos lying around in my inventory! I chose three of those I took specifically for the Visionaire application to go along with one other photo I actually had in my inventory that I had done some creative work on previously.

Now, for the photos!

This first one is the one I had done some creative work on previously. I used it for the Models Magazine October Horror Challenge. I was one of the winners and was featured in the magazine.  I call it "Crow Queen." This photo was taken at the DarkDharma Haunted Manor and Haunted Forest sim.


The second Visionaire submission was taken on a sim I discovered while looking for a place to take blog photos. I call this one Mirrors. This, I did do a bit of post-photo work on. You can go to the Oniro sim here.


Next, I present Violin. This is one of the RAW pictures I chose for application. This is another sim I discovered while looking for locations for blogs, the Digital Art sim. This is one of my favorite sims in Second Life.


And, finally, my personal favorite, Scarecrow Dreams, also RAW. Here, you can catch a ride to the Ocho Tango sim where this was taken. It adjoins the Digital Art sim and you can wander from one to the other as you explore the amazing beauty on display.


Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and look at my photos!

Have a great day!

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE CERES GROUP GIFT

Moondance Boutique has offered another very generous group gift, the Ceres Group Gift. The Ceres set comes with earrings, rings, and bracelets--five separate bracelets for each wrist so they can be worn in mix and match combinations. I have chosen to wear all five bracelets on each wrist to help make a fashion statement!

As with so many of Moondance's sets, this set also comes equipped with many options. There is the option to change the texture, size, or full bright of a single piece of jewelry or to target all the pieces at once. This is a very convenient tool.

There are seven metal options, ten pastel gem options, and ten deep gem options. I have chosen a combination with silver for the metal, rose for gem 1, and aquamarine for gem 2.

Here, you can see the overall chic look of the set.


Now, for a closer look at the pieces so the intricate detail work can be seen.


Hurry to Moondance Boutique to take advantage of the group gifts and take a look a the many other fine designs there, too, including designs for men.

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE AASHI GROUP GIFT

This is a very sweet group gift set that consists of a necklace, earrings, and bracelets. It is a very generous gift, as well, because it comes with Moondance's wonderful texture-change options. There are seven metals, ten pastel pearls, and ten deep pearl colors. You have the great option of changing the texture, size, and full bright for all the pieces at the same time or for each individual piece.


Here is a closeup of the necklace and earrings. Note the intricate detail that reflects the care and hard work that go into these pieces! I am wearing gold metal, pearl 1 is purple, pearl 2 is aqua, and pearl 3 is cornflower. I love this combination, but there are almost limitless color possibilities!


And, here, you can see the bracelets, too. All of those that know me know I have to have jewelry wherever I go, even to the beach, but you can wear this versatile set for any occasion. This truly is an amazing gift!

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE NEW AMBROSIA JEWELRY SET

Moondance Boutique has an elegant and stunning new release out, the Ambrosia set. True to the quality and generous designs that come from Moondance, this lovely set has a necklace, two sets of earrings, two styles of bracelets, two styles of rings, a brooch, and an intricate crown. Here, you can see the complete set, with the exception of the daisy earrings; I chose to wear the Chandalere earrings for this styling. I have attached the brooch to the front of the gown as a pleasing adornment.


This set comes, of course, with the Moondance trademark texture-change options for all the pieces in the set. Once again, there is the option to change the textures and sizes of the pieces as a collective group or as individual pieces. There are seven metal colors, ten opal colors, and ten gem colors to choose from to mix and match, with almost unlimited color combination possibilities.

The metal I have chosen is platinum, with pink for the opal, and for the gems, I have chosen diamonds. This is quite a lovely combination that I feel very regal in!


Here, you can see the finished backs of the Chandalere earrings and the generous clasp of the necklace.


Here is a closer look at the Ambrosia Diamond Opal Ring and the Ambrosia Dangle Bracelet.


Now, for a look at the Ambrosia Daisy Ring and the Ambrosia Bracelet.


Here, you can see the different color choices for the metal, opals, and gems.


You can buy all the pieces as one set or buy individual pieces if you desire to do that.

You can find the Ambrosia set at the main store as well as at the Jewelry and Accessory Expo now running until March 5.

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: PRISM BY JOURNEY, ZURI JEWELRY

There are many great designs at Swank, and today's offering is Prism Wildemina's Valentine by Journey. I am an admirer of glitter, and sequins, and shiny things, and the pink embroidered sequin patterns in this top are delicate and beautiful. This top can be worn with the pants or alone as a mini-dress.

I have combined Wildemina's Valentine with Zuri Jewelry's very lovely Only You Dusty Rose set. The intricate detailing of the roses and diamonds are a perfect compliment to the detail work in the Wildemina's top. The hair comb, necklace, earrings, and bracelets are sold separately.

I quite feel like a princess in this lovely ensemble!


Here, you can see more clearly the intricate details of the Only You Dusty Rose pieces.


Here, you can see the detailing in the bracelets.

AT SWANK: PRISM, NATIVE URBAN, LUNA BODY ART

Once again, I am using Stebi to help showcase another lovely gown, this one by Prism, the Amora in Red. The white  hearts pattern woven into the fabric almost glitters like gemstones, giving this gown an extra touch of elegance. The Amora gown also is available in five other stunning colors: pink, gold, blue, green, and turquoise.

Stebi is wearing the Native Urban Valentino Outfit, a very romantic outfit indeed, with the dapper red tie. This outfit also comes with the formal shoes he is wearing. There is an option to wear the shoes with socks or without. Stebi is wearing the socks version.


There is an optional shoulder piece that comes with the Amora Gown, as well. This shoulder piece has a finely-crafted rose in the center, made of the same hearts fabric as the gown, sitting elegantly atop a perfect bow. But, to me, one who adores feathers, the most amazing part of this shoulder piece is the feather accessory. The feathers are delicate wisps that float gracefully around the rose. Here is a closer look at that chest piece.


I also am wearing Prism Heart Dangle Earrings by Jezzixa Silver, the February gift you can find at Prism's booth at Swank. They match this Amora dress perfectly. There are two pairs of earrings in the gift box: the silver metal I am wearing here, and a pair with gold metal.

Of course, matching fingernail polish is essential, and Luna Body Art has the perfect item, the Heart Me polish for Slink hands and feet.


Luna Body Art also has a very nice gift at the Swank booth, the xoxo Gift nail polish. Here is what that gift looks like.


Swank is running until the end of the month, so be sure to take advantage of the exclusive designs by almost 100 designers for men, women, home, and garden! And, everything 300 lindens or less! Don't forget the gifts offered by many of the Swank designers!

AT SWANK: *JS* CREATIONS, PRISM FOR MEN, INDULGE TEMPTATION

Today, I am presenting the Pink Saphire Gem Dress by *JS* Creations. Once again, *JS* has created a wonderful confection, this time a gown adorned with pink sapphire gemstones. This gown also comes in several other gems, as well: amathyst, aquamarine, peridot, sapphire, and a ruby, perfect for Valentine's Day.


Stebi is wearing the Prsim Leonard V.4 Black suit. This is a very elegant, handsome, and dashing outfit, with the fur stole draping gently around the neck and falling smoothly down to the hips. There are two fur options, the black you see here, and a white. There is also a Leonard V.1 Red, which comes with a red fur. The silk shirt compliments the brocade jacket very well.


I also have a silky compliment to my gown, and that is the Indulge Temptation Adorable Necklace 1. As always, Indulge Temptation jewelry comes with a HUD. You can change the color of the pearls and the color of the silk independently to create a mix-and-match look if you desire. There are six different necklaces to choose from, all with eight color options for silk and pearls. And, of course, the HUD allows you to resize the necklace, as well. Here, you can see the HUD with the colors for the Adorable Necklace 1.


Swank is going to run until the end of the month. This month's theme is Fifty Shades of Red. There are exclusive items all for 300 lindens or less. Don't forget the gifts provided by many of the shops, as well.

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.

FEATURED MODEL IN THE EVOLUTION OF A MODEL (TEOM) MAGAZINE

I had some computer issues and was away for a while, but, when I came back, I was very pleased to see that The Evolution of a Model magazine had come out. This issue covers some important and interesting topics, including some tips about lagging and crashing, a "Where Are They Now" article with interviews of models from the first issue, an interview with ShazneyValentine, MVW Aruba 2016, a look behind-the-scenes of the Fantasy Angels audition, and, of course, the featured models, including children and teens.

Darla Watanabe was the photgrapher, and we had a good laugh when she placed me beside the bartender during the shoot. She said she would not use the photo in the magazine, so I really had to laugh when I saw my feature photograph. I know there was none better to capture the moment! Even now, I have to laugh!


Thank you so much to the staff of TEOM for inviting me to be a featured model!

NOTE OF INTEREST: Every time before I post a blog, I check all the landmarks and Marketplace links to verify that they are current.

DESTINY STYLE DOROTY DRESS PINK

This dress is about as cute as they come. I was delighted when I saw what Dany had given me to blog!



I love pink, and this top is especially cute with the white, wispy plant design on it. This design is on both the front and back of the dress, as you can see here.



Destiny Style has a true talent for being able to blend diverse materials together into a combination that works perfectly. The upper part of the dress is a broader weave, and the skirt is cotton with embroidered eyelets. You can see those more clearly here. The flared sleeves, made of the same eyelet cotton as the skirt, are adorable with their scalloped edges. You can also see the side slit in the skirt here, as well.


You will love this dress!

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE KEVAY SET

Once again, Moondance Boutique has given us a beautiful and versatile set of jewelry, the Kevay. This is a special set designed to go with the Moondance pose set available at Posesion pose store.

The Kevay set comes with a necklace, two style sets of earrings, two styles of bracelets, a ring, and a bindi. All pieces are copy and resize, as usual, and there are a variety of texture-change options with this intricate set. There are six metal options available and ten gem choices. The pieces can be resized and re-textured either as individual pieces or as a group.

I really felt extravagant and wore the necklace, the bindi, the Chandalier Earrings, the Ornate Bracelets, and a ring on each hand. There are less ornate bracelets and earrings, the Drop Earrings, as well. My texture choices are topaz and diamond gems set in copper.

You can buy the complete set or buy individual pieces as you choose.



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