#102 Valentines Red & Ready

Dear Readers,

In today's blog I'm sharing one of my secrets with you. For every blog that I do, I choose a certain artist from my music directory and listen... I put on the music and that's when I start shooting pictures, start editing them a little and write my blog. 

The gown that I'm wearing is a gown by Sascha and was a steal that only costs 150LD at her main store. I've combined it with NSP Floral beautiful roses and Zuri Rayna Jewelry.

NSP Florals roses come in a large variety of colors and each of them just as beautiful. 

The jewelry set by Zuri Rayna is called Forever Ruby/Chocolate/Gold Collection. In a previous blog I showed you the diamond 14K gold version as well. This elegant set has Valentines Day written all over it and I love how it hugs my neck.

#85 My old piano...

Dear Readers,

Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano

My baby entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
His eighty eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see

My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands the middle of the room
Your heart disolves
While he tips you so gracefully
'Till you're involved
In a babygrand affair

In today's blog I'm wearing a new outfit by Maitreya, released at Collabor 88. This unique dress is fully mesh and comes in 5 sizes and several different colors. The dress is 2 layered and the lace part really is what attracts me in the dress. As usual, I didn't get a demo but just hit the buy button. This dress shows a little bit of curves and gives a "red carpet" kind of feel.

The jewelry that I'm wearing is a new release by Stars! especially made for the Gypset Market. This double pearl necklace is set with little snowflakes that also return in the ear rings. The set is called Winter Wonderland Evening and is available at the Gypset Market until the end of January for L$175.

The nails that I'm wearing are by Zoz, Slink applier Natural Glitter Tips Polish. I was also wearing them yesterday but in another color. Showing an item in several colors is my preference and therefor mentioning Zoz again.

#80 Colors of Valentine...

Dear Readers,

Thank you for all the lovely responses for yesterdays blog. In today's blog I'm featuring yet another one of Zuri Rayna's antique pearl sets, this time the antique Ruby Pearl/Ruby Gold set.

I've decided to combine the antique pearl set with a gown from another great designer in SL, Mohna Lisa. I remember long time ago, on my first avatar, I purchased 2 of Mohna Lisa's gowns and send an IM immediately afterwards, how much I loved the clothes. The owner gave a gift as a thank you and was very friendly. Those are the things that stick with you in SL. Even after such a long time.

I've heard from a very reliable source that a lot of the girls from Zuri Rayna have the Hour Glass Elegance Boudoir Rouge dress in their formal wardrobe. I've purchased it from Jewelry Ilse but I'm sure it can also be purchased at Mohna Lisa's main store. The body of this dress is a mesh product and comes in 5 sizes. 

As you can see this antique pearls set is stacked with red pearl and ruby's. This red set is perfect for upcoming valentines day. So guys, go grab your girl one of these and wear you group tag for your 25% discount.

The wrist corsage that I've used in both pictures is by NSP Florals. It's what Norena Soir, designer and owner of NSP Florals is specialized in. So if you need beautiful flowers, also custom made work then this is the lady you should talk to. She makes the most gorgeous detailed pieces and brought her RL floral experience into SL.

The wrist corsages come in more then 50 different flavors. White lace, black lace & different colors. Guaranteed you will find the right color for your favorite gown.

#79 Elegance in it's purest form...

Dear Readers,

In today's blog I'm showing you the finest jewelry combined with the finest clothing. I'm one that likes elegant and romantic themes and the designers that I'm using in my blog both own those words.

The dress that I'm wearing today is by Utopia, it's their new release called Alyse and comes in 11 different colors.

Then this piece of jewelry is what my blog is actually really about. This set is called "Antique Pearls". The necklace, earrings, bracelet and diadem are all by Zuri Rayna Jewelry. There really is no other way to describe this set than pure perfection. The stones come back in every separate piece and the amount of detail is truly amazing. 

In the picture above you see the pearls come back in every piece as well. This set is perfectly fine tuned to be purchased as a whole or you can buy pieces separate. This set comes in so many different flavors and options that I have decided to give you different pieces in all my upcoming blogs.

This set is perfect for weddings, valentines day and basically any other special occasion or just because you want to own a set like this. There are many nice jewelry designers out there but Zuri Rayna has become my personal favorite for a ton of reasons.

#77 FBD at Feeb's Special

Dear Readers,

FBD has released this fun outfit called Spiked leather jacket outfit black at Feeb's recently. The skirt and jacket are mesh items, in 5 sizes and fit like a glove. The alphas are done very well on this outfit so don't forget your undies, unless of course.... ok, better not go there.

This outfit normally costs L$299 in store but at Feeb's Rascals this month it will be on sale for L$149. The spiked blazer is what makes this outfit the most fun. The undershirt is very sexy and you would expect this to be a clothing layer but it's a part of the blazer. This outfit is a super deal at Feeb's but even at her main store location paying L$299 for a complete outfit is a great deal to me.

These shoes come with the outfit and a hud to change skin & nail color. I'm wearing a tan colored skin by Mirror's Enigma called Kami and luckily didn't have to use the hud but if you do, it's an easy one. The shoes are of really good quality and the fact that the spikes return on the shoes, makes the outfit complete.

#76 Follow my eyes

Dear Readers,

In today's blog I am showing you the newest release by NSP Florals, the Moulin Rouge Burlesque Masks. As I wanted to give you a full body shot with her mask to show you a total view, I've decided to combine her item with a gown from Azul, named Malika (limited item). I've recently showed you NSP Floral's  Sapphire Stardust gown in one of my previous blog posts. This designer is incredibly talented and I'm very happy to be representing her work.

In the picture above I'm showing you a picture taken from the side of her golden mask. The detail on every single piece, the feathers etc is amazing. These masks are a must have for any Moulin Rouge party or just to stand out in the crowd with a unique and beautiful accessory. I've combined the mask with one of Zuri Rayna's Jewelry pieces called Czarina Jewels Diamond/Mocha. Be on the look out ladies because Zuri Rayna is soon releasing a combination of jewelry that is jaw dropping amazing :-)

In the picture above I'm giving you a couple of examples of the Moulin Rouge Burlesque Masks. The masks come in 14 different color options for the amazing price of L$ 299 each (regular priced at L$ 499). NSP Florals also has a hunt going on as of January 5th called NSP 25 for 25 Hunt gift. One of her masks can be found in her shop for the dazzling price of L$ 25 (hunt object is a red heart). Happy hunting :-)

#74 Nights of Blue Satin

Dear Readers,

In today's blog I'm showing you this amazing gown by NSP Florals, Norena Soir. This dress is made for a killer first impression with it's skirt that's attached to the back, the tremendous amount of flowers on the gown and the shimmer effect of the fabric all over (which you can't see on pictures).

Also in today's blog I'm featuring a new cosmetics line released by Dulce Secrets especially for the cold winter months. She has made 10 different sets that I will show you with one of her Tierre skins when you scroll down a but further.

As you can see in the picture above, the skirt is endless and sways ever so softly when you move. The flowers attached to the dress are really gorgeous and realistic. In the picture below I'm showing you a close up from the back part of the skirt.

In the picture above I'm giving you a close up of the flowers stole and the headpiece as well as the jewelry that I've chosen to wear for this occasion. The jewelry is made by Zuri Rayna and is called Norena Star Elite. This version of the Norena Star had endless amount of different options to choose from. I made the gems, pearls and baby breath all blue.

The Slink nails appliers that I've used for this occasion are by Adoness called Prince Edward.

#73 Warming yourself up with Styles by Danielle

Dear Readers,

In today's blog I give you a mixture of items with the emphases on Styles by Danielle and Mirror's Enigma. 

Styles by Danielle has released her new Freesa Sweater. This is a turtleneck jumper that comes with a sweater. You can wear them separately or together and they come in tucked and untucked versions in 6 different colors. This product has jacket layers and the sweater, cuffs and collar are sculpted. Scrolling further down in my blog you will find the version of the sweater without jumper.

The brown version of the Freesa Sweater is free for group members and other versions are 30% discounted (when you wear your tag).

In the picture above I've wearing a hat that comes with an outfit from CK called Little White Snowflake and fits perfectly with the jumper to increase the level of "cuteness" :-)

The boots and sock are by Maitreya and belong to her latest releases. These products are mesh and available in different sizes. The boots even comes in unrigged mesh so you can size them to perfection.

In the picture above I'm showing you the version of the Freesa sweater without the jumper in grey. 

Then last but not least. In today's blog I'm wearing a skin by Mirror's Enigma. This skin is a special at Sys and slink appliers are available at the main store. Also for this occasion all cosmetics used are by Mirror's Enigma. I absolutely love the smokey look of the eyes and her lipstick comes with and w/o teeth version. When we shop for skins we tend to overlook cosmetics and in this case that's such as waste because her cosmetics are really good.

#72 The healing rays of the sun...

Dear Readers,

Without the sun there is no life. Peoples that live in a sunny climate, would die to see some snow and cold while the people living in colder climates would die to get some rays of sun all year round. 

What is it with always wanting to have what we can't get and when we do, we want to go back to the old thing? One thing is for sure, having sunny days brightens our mood. Therefor in today's blog I'm giving you the sun. Especially for those who are only seeing snow when they look outside of their window :-)

The outfit that I've chosen to wear today is a mixture of different things. The golden pants are by Son!a and have tremendous amount of detail on them. The top I got from Marketplace and is from JRC and the shoes that I'm wearing are by Gos. These shoes come with feet so they're not Slink shoes.

In the picture above I'm trying to show you the detail of the corset and the pants that has 2 zippers attached to the front. Both items are mesh and available in 5 sizes. In my opinion this is a super feminine and sexy outfit for us girls.

The jewelry that I'm wearing today is by Styles by Danielle. It's a set with a necklace, 2 bracelets and ear rings. This coco set is available in 3 different colors. In today's look I've used the newest skin by Dulce Secrets. This skin comes in a variety of different options and tones. In my next blogs I will showcase her frost make ups as well.

#71 Elegance with a touch of seduction

Dear Readers,

Everything you are, everything you'll be,

touches the current of love, so deep in me. 

Every sigh in the night, every tear that you cry, seduces me.

All that I am, all that I'll be,

means nothing at all, if you can't be with me.

Your most innocent kiss or your sweetest caress, seduces me.

I don't care about tomorrow, I've given up on yesterday,

here and now is all that matters, right here with you is where I'll stay.

Everything in this world, every voice in the night,

every little thing of beauty, comes shining through your eyes,

and all that is you, becomes part of me too, cause all you do seduces me.

And if I should die tomorrow, I'd go down with a smile on my face.

I thank God I've ever know you, I fall down on my knees... 

For all the love we've made.

First I would like to thank Ydreece Forster from Mirror's Enigma for making me one of her Bloggers. I feel honored being part of her team and that thanks to my dear friend Pur. If you haven't been to Mirror's Enigma yet, please go and have a look. You will be very pleasantly surprised like I was. Once you become a group member (after purchasing a product) you have instant access to multiple group gifts that are displayed at her main store. Wear your group tag to buy for a lower price and always choose the discounted paybox. Until January 6th you can still visit her store at Frost, click here for a direct tp to her store. She has a very unique skin out with special effect cosmetics like masque and war paints only available at Frost.

In today's blog I'm wearing this Lace Gown with Stole by FBD. This gown is a mesh product, available in 5 sizes. The dress is 50% discounted for a very limited time with a purchasing price of L$ 80,- so this is the perfect add to anyone's wardrobe, for every budget.

As you see in the picture above, FBD choose to give us a dress with 2 faces. An elegant front and a slightly naughty back. I love it! The tattoo that I'm wearing is my actual RL tattoo (same location) that a friend of mine brought to SL for me.

The slink nail appliers that I've used in today's blog are by Adoness and the lipstick is No 7. The reason I keep returning to this red lipstick is because I haven't seen another red lipstick that does it for me like this one does.

The jewelry that I'm wearing is by Stars and especially made for The Kollective. The theme of this event is Soft and Romantic and runs till January 26th. This jewelry set is a must have for us girls especially since it comes in such a soft tone. The booth of Stars is the second one on the left hands side. Thank you for sharing your friendship and your designs with me Star :-)
