B.Y.O
BYO you ask? well why not when you are wearing a hat with candy spilling out to a formal occasion 
.
As soon as I saw the colour of the Dutch Sparkle Gown from SySy Designs I knew what hair I wanted to wear with it, this is the Kyandii hair from Eat Rice it comes with the hat separate and OMG the dolly moves. The fabric of this gown itself sparkles like fashion candy, and makes me feel so glamorous with its beautiful floor length fishtail style.
I really like the iridescent effect on the black sheer collarbone section that attaches in a halter style around the neck.
Having a long bare arms look, I wanted to add a little something in the form of the Leather Gloves by Fleur, these come in three lengths and this is the sky set tingted to be a closer match to the blue of the gown.
The jewelry is from Scarlia Impact and the azure gemstones in both pieces worked a treat. The Spangle Bracelet and Essential Earrings are both available in many stone options, so if the styles are ones you have been looking for then check out the different gemstones available. There is some amazing prim manipulation going on in both pieces, really lovely work.
This second set by SySy Designs is at the Rezzable Sim for their Winter Event, get the info HERE.
This is the Flakes in the Snow set and it has many wear options, these two being my favs. The elegance of the long gown look is just wonderful, and with the added accessories and the right hair you can take on any formal occasion.
The shorter option is fun and flirty and I have always dreamt of a gown like this in RL, not this exact colour or fabric, but the ability to just take off a long gown skirt and have an instant shorter version to continue the night dancing etc has always been my want. This set has all that and more.
I really do love that about things we wear here, the ability to use layers and prims in such a way as to evoke a real feel for a moment, and to capture an effect. I think it’s why many want layers, not just because we have strange dressing habits lol.
The illusion of being able to remove a shrug and be left with a shirt that reveals a little hint of bra, all of that is so effective, and people that wear ink should not have to go without bras just because people think its weird to make a bra on any layer other than undershirt. Also I have tats that were only made on shirt layer that means if I was to wear one I need a bikini/bra or tank on jacket SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, or if you have a corset or halter thats low enough but only on the jacket layer and you want to cover up a bit with a shrug you need those on the shirt layer. I know I know we have said all this before, but I went off on a tangent.
End of rant , breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeathes. I don’t even know why I went off on that tangent, SySy does all layers 
.
The shoes to wear with this set were an easy choice, they are the Gothdamn Stilettos by Canimal, such beautiful rich textures on these square toed heels, and the added delight of the bow is lovely especially when peeping through the long version, or with the short.
The hair is truly an honor for me, it is the New Sasy hair from Here Comes Trouble, I have mentioned in the past that Babyboo every few months rocks out some uppydo’s because I had always requested them, she does amazing ones and really puts all she has into them. This one she made especially for New Years and its just beautiful, thank you Boo♥.
The jewlery are two seperate pieces from Uzuri, the Ebony earrings are amazing, their size and texture are superbly executed, so much so that Mel even stopped what he was doing and went ‘Wow great Earrings”. The necklace is the Atmospheric Necklace the stones in the choker style are very similar to the ones in the earrings, and even though not part of the same set, you could wear either and or.
Sayang from SySy Designs is a nice take on a cultural style. I’m not exactly sure that was the intent, but the name and the look made me think of indian tunics, and light summery fabrics. This look can go dressy or casual and teamed up with the fabulous Rodeo boots from Adam n Eve I was set.
These boots aren’t just made for walking, they are made for everything. They come in brown versions as well and they are sensational for those that love cowboy boot looks and don’t want all the traditional stitching and embelishments that usually go with.
As I mentioned yesterday Kin has new hair , this is one of the latest styles Mira, absolutely gorgeous in its cleopatra like lovelyness. I really like the thick cut bangs and just the energy of the style.
This is FlashBack by SySy Designs. This is the kind of ensemble that is a mxing of your fav vintage finds at the op shop. Some fantastic leggings, a strapless crochet knit tube dress and a cropped cardigan, it doesn’t get much better than that.
This is another outfit that could lead you into any occasion, starting out casually you could then take off the cardi and slip off the tights – you wouldn’t believe how many pairs of leggings you find in clubs the next day, and then add some more lippy and off you go on a night of adventure.
Feeling all the vintagey love, I went with the Vintish shoes from Aphrodite Creations, these shoes are just gorgeous and if you don’t own any they are definitely a MUST HAVE, especially the two tone and arty ones – drools over the pink and brown.
Another New style by Kin is the Enid style, Ashia, Newdoll and I all went bonkers over this one and you can see why, its a stunning asymetrical cut.
All of the skins I am wearing today are more of the fabulous Kalista skins from Tuli. As I have already stated these are just lovely, with their soft skin shading and over all body features, the make ups are wide and diverse in range, giving you not only highly fashionable skins, but also RP skins and some great looks for arty photography, DEMO DEMO DEMO.
Also from Tuli today are the poses I used in this shoot, they are the Covergirl poses, and they really are lovely and worked a treat for this shoot.

Festive Romance
New skins usually coincide with new lingerie, today’s post has both old and new based on the wonderful colours of the Gala Christmas skins release, these skins are so vibrant and rich in make up that I and you I am sure will want to wear them all year round.
The first skin by Gala is Silent Night, an incredible blue eyeshadow with a soft rose lipstick. The bodies and faces of the skins are the beautiful Gala skins we are used to, so if you are already a big fan then more make ups will make you very happy indeed. If you haven’t been down to Gala in the last few months and are on the look out for vibrancy in your make ups then its time to DEMO DEMO DEMO.
A stunning accompaniment to the Silent Night Skin is the Water Love Fairy Lingerie set from House of Nyla, the rich blues and subtle hints of ocean green are just dazzling. I love how the use of love hearts in this set make up a wonderful clam shell like appearance on the cups of the strapless bra. Don’t wait for Valentines Day to wear your heart out in the open, this set needs to be seen now.
Speaking of hearts and love, the fantastic Ashia Tomsen of FreeStyle put her heart out there today and it was accepted ♥ Congratulations Ashia he is a blessed Man – this just happened as I was writing this post so I had to share. Ok update , he asked her but still same applies, YAY to both of them. You can perve on them HERE.
When fairy’s are mentioned there is a definite need to show some Studio Sidhe items, as they are created by the fluttery Faery Sola. The Filigree set was another item releases for Christmas and is just marvelous. I have always loved the bracelet/ring look and Faery has totally mastered the beauty and delicate nature of such a beautiful piece.
With matching earrings this is a must have if you are that way inclined, and if you aren’t you need to be .
The hair is Alala by Hiccup, I don’t know if I got to show this one yet, I have taken pics of it, that I know for sure, but anyway , this was the first hair I had to have from Hiccup who can resist such a name and style.
This second skin by Gala is the Christmas Lights, now this skin I could wear lots and lots with my green eyes this is a total Yum for me. The lipstick has a wonderful bow mouth with glossy lips which is very vintage looking, and so with that in mind I went with an old Artilleri set.
This is Carmen by Artilleri, one little item I left out of the pic is that this set has tassels attachments for the breasts, you never know when you are going to want to do an impromptu cabaret number. The pieces in this set are just fun and playful as well as bordering on the raunchy. The green and black mix is just so attractive I just had to have it as soon as I saw it, and now I am so glad that I have it to show with this lovely skin.
I got an IM from Ashia the other day, speaking of her again lol, and it was a hair alert…seems that after me screaming at her like a banshee means that now she doesn’t forgets me . Kin has new hair releases, and I bounded over to meet up with her, and Newdoll, Aaren and Adam came too, it was a Hair party lol.
Buying up the newness which I will show later, I also just had to have this older style called Kichi, loving the bangs and loving the length and fall of this style, very delish and as all of her hair is only 100L a colour its a steal.
The Nana heels by Enkythings you cant actually see in this pic, but I am wearing them, and then you do see them in the Water Fairy pic so lol here’s a close up. The beautiful soft Army Green Hair Rose is by Essentia, my hair crack and lately I have seen many girls with them in so YAY.
When I think purple I think Popfuzz, which is a much better alternative than who I used to think of – sorry thats a RL issue – Popfuzz is a huge purple fan, so when in need I reach for my Popfuzz folder and away I go.
This Gala skin is called Sugar Plum and its just so sensual and delicate, a soft brush of plum across the mouth and eyes, and because of it being so light and soft you can easily mix it with pinks.
Sticking to my purple plan though I was digging around and then had a thunk, it has been so long since I draped myself in the heavenly Lace Corsets by Popfuzz, the original ones I mean, way back from well over a year ago now. My absolute favourite of them is the Antique Gold but I decided to give the Deep Purple some love today.
These corsets are a must as not only do they look fab as lingerie, but wearing them with other items is divine. Any kind of seperate gown skirt you have benefits from these creating your own formal look. I have worn mine often with a tulle gown skirt and I recently saw Milli Santos in one with an Autumn Tulle skirt and it looked fab – hopes Milli doesn’t mind me outting her style secrets.
The jewelry I am wearing is the Bliensen + MaiTai Fragile Flowers Earrings and Necklace, now I have tinted these as you can tell, and wanted you to see how beautiful they are without the tint in their original form, you can almost feel the soft petals on these against your skin.
The hair is the Delilah style from Analog Dog, the perfect in between style for those that love those long luscious curls that Analog dog does but needs hair back from the face.
Lastly some NEW. Insolence recently released the Jaime line of lingerie and with the Gold Lights skin from Gala it was a simple connection. Gold Eyes and Red lips are a perfect combination for high glamour looks.
The Jaime Lingerie is incredibly textured, the metalic shine is rich and full of lustre, with the fringing at the front of the bra and garter its an overall effect that will have you and your partner oooing and ahhhing. The use of black time and lace on this set is a wonderful contrast with the rich gold, and brings the set together so well.
I am all about the texture on the stockings for this set too, highly opaque with an incredible shine to them that would make fantastic leggins as well for other outfits, and especially would work with boots.
The Caught in Amber Jewerly from Dark Mouse was a blessing, I couldnt have asked for a more perfect set to go with this look. The chain links and metals in this set are all coated with black allowing the gold to come from the amber itself.
The cute as hair is Sugar by Magika , very rocking back to the 80’s with this style, or in my case going to school lol. I couldn’t help myself though I liked the contrast of playful and sexy.
