Review: Liberte Fashion

If you haven't been to Liberte Fashion you are definitely missing out!  This shop is full of so many goodies, you won't know where to start.  The designer, Luriel Jewell, sent over one of her latest releases for my review, and I absolutely LOVE this outfit.  The Brandi in purple is a casual outfit with jeans and an adorable off the shoulder blouse in purple.  I haven't seen anything else like this in SL.  Luriel's attention to detail is amazing.  Even the jeans have an adorable little charm hanging from the belt!  It's those little touches that prove she's a very talented designer.  I love the richness of the purple, perfect for this time of year!  The blouse shows just enough skin to be sexy, but not enough to be too revealing.  This outfit would be perfect to go out dancing.  I paired the outfit with simple silver hoops and some fun bangles, and chose an open toed boot to give it a bit of an edge.  The outfit comes in every available layer, and designers, I love when you offer jeans on the underwear layer.  So much easier to pair with other layers.  I haven't taken this outfit off in days, and that is proof that I really love it!

If you haven't been to Liberte Fashion, go take a look this weekend!

Spotlight: *BOOM*

If you're looking for something a little on the sexy side, then *BOOM* is the store for you!

First off is appropriately called Office Tart in the color Pitch. I love the black and white striped button up shirt, which has a very low cut. Now, this wouldn't be appropriate in my office, but it might be fun to dress up! It also comes with a super mini skirt with slits up both sides. Definitely a skirt to show off your legs. I must admit, I really like it.

Next is the Leather Crop Halter in Black. I love the fringe detail on the front and the 2 cute bows in the black. The texturing is nice, and it comes with an adorable little feather arm band. I sort of felt all rocker-ish and really sexy.

If you've never visited *BOOM*, head over to the Cassiopeia Isle and check it out. You're sure to find something sexy for your friday night out!

Spotlight: *sheer* and ~flirt~ Jewelry

If you're anything like me, sometimes you just need a pair of stockings to complete your "look". I love patterned stockings, and I was thrilled to find a store who gave me just about every sort of pattern I could ever want. *sheer* has the most amazing stockings you will find in SL. I was thrilled to see that there is also a small collection of clothes. She takes the "little black dress" to a whole new level.

*sheer*'s many patterned stockings are offered as thigh high stockings or tights. The same amazing patterns, just different styles. The stockings also come in the "torn" look, which is definitely for the hardcore. I've shown a few of the stockings styles in different patterns. My personal favorite is the "dots". It adds that little bit of "fun" to a simple black dress.

The dresses I've chosen to show you are so unique. The first dress is the Shift Dress in black. This adorable dress has to be my favorite in the collection. It comes with tops and bottoms in every available layer, which is wonderful. The top is very sheer on it's own, which would be perfect under a jacket, but I paired them together for a more sophisticated look. The Shift Dress comes with 2 options on the top. I absolutely adore the off the shoulder look in the first picture. It's so sexy! But it also comes with a traditional top for the classic look. I love the options that come in with each of these dresses. You're honestly getting 2 dresses for the price of 1. The Shift Dress is sold for $250 L.

The next dress is the Shiver Dress in black. This dress is a sweet little dress with a slightly flared skirt. Again, so many pieces on every available layer. The sheer top is optional, and also comes is a "torn" version. You can wear the dress with or without the sheer layer and it's just as cute. It could also be worn under a jacket. The Shiver Dress is also $250 L.

The last dress is the Shy Dress in silver. The texturing on this dress is really good. The silver has a sheen to it that I love. It also comes with 2 versions of the top, one with a slightly more sheer midsection. It also has the same slightly flared skirt. It's sold for $250 L.

I've shown the many versions of stockings that they carry, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. You have to take a trip to *sheer* to take a look at all of the selection. There is something for every mood there, and the perfect accent to any outfit.

Visit *sheer* on the Uruti Point sim.

The jewelry I'm wearing is a from ~flirt~ jewelry, Hearts & Diamonds.  This set has a resizer script, which I love!  It makes things so easy to fit, and if you're horrible at editing like me, it saves from lots of headaches.  It's also completely texture change, and there are so many different textures and metals to choose from.  If you haven't been by to visit ~flirt~, I definitely recommend a visit, Skinkie Winkler's designs are gorgeous!  Visit ~flirt~ at their mainstore on the Juicy sim.

"Mix and Match" with Emma McKenzie

I've asked Emma to submit a few of her outfits to be posted on the blog. If you have a chance to see Emma bopping around SL, you've seen her "outfit of the day" for whatever day it might happen to be. Emma has a way of putting outfits together that is awesome. She can take one item and base a whole "look" around it. But, what I love the most is that she's so versatile. Here's the first of many of her "Mix and Matches".

My Inner Bully by Emma McKenzie

Whisper Despres recently opened her new store, Famish, and she sent me over a few things to try on. One of my favorites is the Big Bad Bully Belt, which was my starting point for this outfit.

The belt comes with the essentials for all your bullying and prankster needs. There are cigarettes, a slingshot with rocks, m90's, a box of matches, Elmer's glue, Big League Chew, a few stink bombs, a bottle of itching powder, and a permanent marker.

After putting on ::69::'s, Rush hair, my next mission was to find some jeans and I finally decided on GearShift's SubZero Cargo Jeans and paired it with LurveBite's Dirty Guy Beater Tank. Hidden in the depths of my inventory I found these fighter gloves by MadHouse88, they make me look more tough, no? I threw on my well worn Urban Bomb Unit PornStars Xtra Hi-Tops to complete my look.

Rest of the look:

Skin: Dutch Touch Lana B (no longer available)

Lip Ring: No Mercy - Panda

Cigarette: Persona

Jaywalk New Release

Lyra Muse, the wonderful designer behind Jaywalk sent over a couple of her new releases to try.  Lyra has been designing shoes, and as I told her, I own every pair of boots she has created.  She has just started branching out into making clothes, and I have to say, I'm impressed.  Her clothes are comfortable, yet have a very distinct style.  I think she's doing a very good job and look forward to seeing what else she has up her sleeves.

These capris are called Beatrix and come in so many colors.  I love the casual feel, and I chose the red because it's bright enough to make a statement.  The details on the prim cuffs are absolutely adorable.  Even the back has cute little details in the waistband.  You've got to check them out for yourselves.  Beatrix is available in black, blue, brown, green, grey, magenta, purple, and red (pictured).

Lyra has also just released some adorable cupcake hats (coming up in a future post) and has some special Halloween ones exclusively for her lucky chair.  I was visiting her store today and the lucky chair stalkers were talking about how they were dying to get their hands on them!

Thank you Lyra for sharing your new releases with me!

Second Wave Apparel Cinderella

Edited:  Thank you wonderful ladies for pointing out my error.  This will teach me to type a post in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping.  And I apologize Sioxie for the mixup!! :X

Sioxie Legend, of Second Wave Apparel, has created one of the most gorgeous dresses I've seen in a while.  This dress came just in time for Halloween.  When I was a little girl, I would always want to dress up as something girlie and cute.  This Cinderella gown would have been something I would have died for.  The amount of detail that has gone into this gown is amazing, and I feel so regal and beautiful.  I'll copy and paste what the lovely Indigo says in the attached notecard she sent my way:

Once upon a time there was a designer - who, as a little girl loved a fairy tale book called "A Treasury of The World's Greatest Fairy Tales". And every night when she was a little girl her mother read to her from that book. One of the stories was Cinderella and the gowns and illustrations were so fabulous and magnificent that the little girl dreamed of wearing those gowns. She would dream it every night, until as a designer in Second Life she was able to make that dream come true..

Cinderella is available in 12 different colors. The dress comes with a top on 3 layers, glitch pants on 1 layer, a system skirt and prim skirt as well as a prim collar with lace texture. Only $L450 for a magnificent gown. Satin texture with gold trim and diamond accents - you are sure to feel just like a princess in this one.

Head to Second Wave Apparel and check out this amazing dress.  Thank you, Sioxie for sending it my way!

Moonshine Latest Releases

Shelly Toonie, the designer for Moonshine, sent over a couple of her new releases.  She has released 2 adorable cardigans in a variety of colors.

The first cardigan is an adorable solid with black lace trim at the bottom.  I love the way these cardigans fit.  They cup with prim sleeves and a prim bottom, which is super easy to fit.  It looks adorable worn over a pair of pants with a simple shirt underneath.  This cardigan comes in, black, crimson (pictured), pumpkin, emerald (pictured), saddle, and teal.

The second is the Crochet Cardigans which were released yesterday.  These have the same prim bottom, and prim sleeves in a different style.  I love this cardigan just as much as the other.  They come in soft colors combinations, and have a very soft, sweet look.  The texturing on both of these cardigans is wonderful.  This cardigan comes in blue, eggplant (pictured), mocha, and sage.

Both of these cardigans are definitely a staple in every wardrobe.  Moonshine is such a fun store, if you haven't been by to check it out, head over to the Silver Lake sim and check it out today.
