Ana Lutetia

GM Nikolaidis from [spork] created a cocktail dress. Cosmo is a strapless cocktail dress made of silk and lace available in Aztec Gold, Cornflower Blue, Magenta, and Wine. This a sexy dress with two different types of gloves and layer options.
Arriah Fiertze from Whimsy amongst the cute stuff that you can find at her store, also makes skins. She created these skins a while back and has now revamped the Vanilla tone (worn) with new stunning makeups. Vanilla was the tone I picked even though it is a bit lighter than the usual tones I use. The skins are quite affordable and the new makeups are really something.

This post could be named from day to night with SySy Chapman from SYSY’s but I am suck at titles. So, Sysy is into casuals and as a casuals lover I am happy. Sysy is one of the designers that offers layers variety so we can mix and match her creations with other pieces of our closet.
I am using the Miss Friday skins from Wasabi Pills by MissAllSunday Lemon in the bronze tone. When I first tried these skins, I used the brows suggested and I didn’t liked to see it on me and I was a little sad because I really liked the details of Miss Friday. However, with some plain brows (from ETD) they work perfectly on my shape and the makeups are truly amazing.

Her latest release was the gorgeous Tartan pants available in *only* there colours. These pants are so cute that I wanted more. I paired the pants with one of the cute Cardigans that are available in 6 colours. I had to tint the attachments back to white but no editing at all was needed.

Sysy started a collection with casuals. One of the releases for the Sy Suggests is Hoodie Girl - a simple casual black hoodie outfit, black pants with flared leg attachements, short hoodiesweater with sculpted hoodie and cuffs. that could be paired with a shirt.

The YIP dress was release last month and it is a funky dress available in three colours with all layers and a sculpted skirt with frilly attachments.

Kellie Iwish from Elate! creates sweet, flirty, vintage-inspired pieces that belong in every girl’s closet. *nods* Her creations have a sexy and chic touch.

Felicity is a frilly mini dress available in red, blush, cobalt, emerald, ice, night, sky and sunny. Each of the dress include top, pants and three frilly prims for the skirt.

Maria is the stunning latest release. It is a strap silky tube dress with a couture rose collar made with rose petals. Kellie also made a cute little matching rings with a miniature rose of each colour. Maria is available in emerald, navy, night, plum and sunny and comes with top in two layers, glitch shorts, prim mini skirt, sculpted collar. I have noticed that some of the prims were no mod and others were. The ones that I could mod, I tinted (as you can see in the first pic).

camilla Yosuke from Insolence sewed Jaime just before Christmas. As usual, camilla offers layer options and a marvellous texture work. Jaime is available in copper, emerald, gold, purple, red and silver. Jaime is a new satin ensemble, very classic in its lines, but made of the shiniest satins and sweetest lace bits that one could imagine.

Miffyhoi Rosca from Zenith creates sweet mini neko dresses, accessories, boots, shoes. Well, the dresses are so cute that are not only for nekos. And who doesn’t like a mini dress? Her clothes have great texture work and good prim/sculpted work at very affordable prices. Some of them are so affordable that they are a steal. She offers layers variety in some of the dresses and I wished there were demos for the boots.

Shelly Toonie from Moonshine Clothing & Hairstyles has just released tees and sweaters for the guys but I want to show the latest releases for women. One thing I love about Moonshine is the colour palette that Shelly uses along with the amazing texture work.
Torie Senne from Bebae has been working on a new skin: Belina. When I first saw the teaser, I was in awe. These skins are dazzling and the makeups offered are quite marvellous. Torie also offers a notecard with her WL settings so you can toss your facelights away.

Aemilia is a pinafore dress and got the name from the amazing Aemilia Case. This dress is available with all the layers and pinstripes and lace with bows accenting the skirt.

Plush is a velvet and lace dress available in Cinder, Cranberry, Nutmeg and Spruce. The baring back is accented with buttons, detailed lace layered skirt and lacy cuffs are topped off by a velvet scarf. Optional leggings are included too. Each dress comes with all the layers and mod prims.

I have asked Surarin Piek from SL Fashion Diva if she would make some suggestions for the dress me up challenge issue by Achariya Maktoum:

The theme: The girl who will be a good wife, in Japanese sense of values.

Hair:Armidi Hair/Abigail
Suit:Nicky Ree/Nicole Skirt Suit
Necklace:Muse/Claire Ballet Slipper Necklace
Bag:PaperCouture/The Boulevard Bag
Shoes:An elegant pair of pumps from Storm Schmooz would be perfect

All of items are from very very famous stores.
I don’t choose colors. But refined colors are better.

I was truly honoured with Surarin response. She couldn’t comment on the blog but left me a notecard in-world (in the same way I asked her and a few other bloggers for their input). She choose to dress me as a girl who will be a good wife.

I believe I own almost all of the female hairstyles from Armidi. I bought the first ones before they had their own sim and some of the earlier styles I have don’t have all the colours that the most recent styles do. Oh well… maybe some day I will ask them if the first costumers will have all the colours in their packs. For now, I am quite happy with the Pomegranate colour.
I went to Nicky Ree for the suit and got the combo. I drooled over this suit once it was released but haven’t been to Nicky Ree to actually got it. Nicole was released in a wide variety of colours and there are a lot of packs.
My *fail* was the necklace and the bag. I wasn’t seeing myself wearing again the necklace suggested. So, I decided on another Muse necklace I already had. The bag didn’t appeal to me. Instead I picked another model from Paper Couture.
The shoes were pretty easy. I am a fan of Storm Schmooz’s work. He has amazing shoes with excellent sculpted work and gorgeous textures.

Overall, I think this look makes me look my RL age with my next birthday coming up in 18 days (mark your calendars, LOL!). Even though I am over 30, in RL I still look like I am in my 20s.

Kiki Cunningham Ki-Square is the creator of my all time favourites: Lady of the pins. I was thrilled that Kiki did more colours after my review about it.
Kiki makes tees, accessories, shoes - all at very affordable prices. Sally Jesse’s Big Date was released a while back along with more cute sweaters and shoes. These are a little more dressed up, 100% hand drawn (not even brush shapes were used), and just fun, really. The tops are available with all layers in 7 different colours.
These top gave me perfect excuse to show my favourite look: casual.

Ciera Bergman from Vitamin Cicreated a sweater dress and named it Kaylee. The sweater is available in black, brown, camel, cornsilk, electric, green, pink, purple and wine. Ciera made two sweaters in jacket layer, a sculpted neck and a mini prim skirt for the dress. It is a versatile but it could a lot more versatile with more layers, like the jacket as a full sweater dress to wear with pants or the shirt (or undershirt) layer to wear a system belt. Maybe I am just used to all the layer thing. But the texture has a great comfy feel and all the prims are easily adjusted to fit your shape.

Fae Eriksen and Johnny Barbecue from *Fishy Strawberry* continue to create colourful and amazingly cute stuff. The latest release are the Bordello dresses with matching Venezia pumps and also the Decadence Mongolian Fur. All of these items create an amazing look together. The pumps are available in more colours and all have the cute bow. I suggested that you pay a visit to the mainstore. The casuals are still my favourites and were created with a lot of options.
The skin I am using is the latest from 42. Mandy (Imandra Wycliffe) took my suggestions and created a set of new skins with bare lips and smokey eyes. I hope that she creates even more colours for the Gravity line or more eye shadows for the Aurora line or even some freckles in the skins. And the prices of these skins is quite a bargain.
