Lazy Summer

As the sun was shining today…(which is rare in the UK!)… I decided to raid the inventory and throw together some summer looks.

Luxe

Todays inspiration is luxury… I have used a selection of designs made by some of my favourite designers who create beautifully drawn textures and flawless sculpts to give a luxurious couture look. Enjoy!

Silk Route

Today I found a beautiful silk kimono that my husband had bought me on a trip to Hong Kong when we first met.  The silk is so delicate and fully embroidered and I could never bring myself to wear it for fear of it being damaged.

It sits in a box that I keep all of my treasured posessions in and I just take it out now and again to admire it’s beauty…. it inspired todays collection of  Oriental silks in beautiful jewel tones. Enjoy!

Tea Roses

Today in my real life I was thinking about what I wanted to do to celebrate a landmark birthday that is coming up early next year, I decided that I wanted a vintage  English tea party with pretty vintage crockery , cupcakes, macarons all served on doilies and pretty floral tablecloths. I found a company online that hired out gorgeous vintage mis-matched floral china tea sets for weddings and parties, the tea cups were so pretty that they gave me the inspiration for today’s looks.

My first finds that fitted perfectly with my theme were from TOSL, I found two fabulous dresses that had prints based on vintage china tea cups. I also found some amazing jewellery to match. You can always rely on TOSL for lovely whimsical little things that are so lovingly made.

I also used a couple of outfits from Vita’s Boudoir, the outfits in this store are so inspiring and have a wonderful couture feel about them. I really need to own every single item in that store and I will even if it bankrupts my Linden account! You must visit Vita’s if you haven’t already, especially if like me you like something a little out of the ordinary.

Aliza Karu had created a crazy and fabulous tea set dress that is also featured here, I just had to have it! I also added some furniture items from Lisp Bazaar that fitted in nicely, Lisp Bazaar is a store very close to my heart and I only wish I could own those creations in real life!

So get yourself a lovely cup of tea and a cake and enjoy a very English tea party!

Anglomania

I studied fashion design in my real life and this is down to my admiration of Vivienne Westwood, I have always felt inspired by her work and I have always loved her eccentric British style. What I truly love about her more than anything else is that she had no formal training, she learned to make clothing from deconstructing items to see how they were made and from this she has become the queen of pattern cutting and tailoring.

I love her quirky styling, the way her clothing is cut and draped is just incredible and you can always tell a Vivienne Westwood design a mile away.

When I’m shopping in Second Life, I am always drawn to items that mimic Westwoods style, today  went to the sale room at L’Abel and found several things that reminded me of Vivienne’s work. I teamed the oufits with Vivienne style accessories and came up with some looks for those of you who also just love a bit of Viv!

Treasured

I don’t expect freebies because I decided to blog, I do it because I enjoy it and I like to share the joy I get from other peoples fabulous creations.

When I do feature an item, I like to drop the creator a notecard to let them know….I think it shows an appreciation for what they do. Of course it is very flattering if a designer takes the time to look at your blog and is happy with how you presented their work.

One such designer was Manya McMahon from Primalot.

Manya kindly took the time to check out what I had posted and she loved how my blog was presented, she added me to her blog list which isn’t usually open to new bloggers.

I was thrilled because I’m a big fan of Primalot jewellery, I love the fact that each piece of jewellery has endless texture and colour combinations with a very easy to use hud. You get a lot for your lindens and the quality and detail is perfect.

Treasured is a locket and earring set I fell in love with as soon as I saw it, I’m a sucker for anything with vintage charm and I love love love that you can add your own pictures and change the textures to match your outfit.

Many thanks to Manya for her kindness.

You can find this set and many other fabulous creations here:

Just a cute little cape

I have to admit that I have a bit of  Cape and Poncho fetish, I’m always buying them in real life, they have such wonderful vintage charm and can be oh so cosy.

I found this gorgeous little hooded Capelet in  BP! yesterday, I had to have it in every colour because it was so versatile, I love that you can wear it with or without the hood and that the cute little buttons are colour change. I had fun trying it out in a lot of different combinations with different outfits. Here are just a few of the results.
