Review: -Belleza- Alyson

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the new Alyson skin from -Belleza- to be released.  Tricky Boucher previously sent out a gorgeous gift to his group, which was a preview of Alyson, and I have been itching to get it since then.  I knew this would be the perfect skin for me.  I just knew it.  And it turns out that it’s also the perfect skin for redheads.  Hands-down. Bar none.  See for yourself — there’s plenty of yummy Alyson goodness after the cut…

Rustic

I’ve had these pics for several days now and have been a very bad blogger by neglecting to post them.  In case you haven’t heard, I’m also blogging over at Second Style twice a week, but don’t expect me to let this blog go.  Nuh uh.  I will continue to bring you my own personal sense of style here for as long as I’m in SL!  *hugs*

No Strings Attached

-Veschi- just recently put out a ton of new releases, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on oodles and oodles of wonderful goodies.  This awesome No Strings Attached jacket is my favorite item of the bunch, but the other items are so fantastic that I plan to slowly incorporate the rest of them into future daily looks.  This outfit turned out to be a sort of color mish-mash, but I think the look turned out kinda cute and classy.

Formal Feature: (Musashi-Do)

Ever since Shiryu Musashi came back to the grid and started releasing new designs under his label, Musashi-Do, I have been captivated by his talent.  His textures are truly exceptional, and his eye for style is amazing.  And when I saw that he would be releasing this gorgeous Brocade Princess gown, I knew it would find its way to this blog sooner or later.  I even blew the dust off my male alt, gave him a bit of a makeover, and dressed him up in a fantastic tux from Musashi-Do, too!  Click through for more…

Blue Christmas

I love that the holidays have two major color schemes.  You get your red and green fix literally everywhere, and others choose to go with the more modern look of blue, white, and silver.  And since blue is my favorite color, I couldn’t resist building a look around this amazing blue dress.

Stacie’s Strength

It has been my experience that we, as fashion bloggers, are truly blessed with wonderful, caring, talented, and extremely generous designers.  Honestly, without the designers and the amazing things they do for the fashion community, I wouldn’t have much to talk about in this silly little blog of mine.  So, it should come as no surprise that I, or we, might become accustomed to the status quo.  Spoiled, if you will.  Yet, there are also times when we’re totally blown away, caught off our guards, truly surprised by something.  And this is one of those times for me.

Ashoka Eales, of Phoenix Rising, surprised me with this amazing new set of outfits named Stacie’s Strength, in my honor.  Simply put, I am surprised, shocked, and blown away.  And to be honest, I’m so emotional right now that I’m struggling to write this blog post.  So please bear with me, because this topic touches very close to home for me.  Those of you who know me on a close, personal basis probably know why Ashoka might see something in me that most people don’t.  And to those of you who don’t really have a clue what I’m talking about, I apologize for being so vague.  However, I’d never want to be accused of flaunting my own disadvantage, so I’ll just leave it at that and show you the amazingly versatile stylings of Stacie’s Strength instead.

Monochromatic

I recently modeled for a photo shoot with the incredibly talented Elysium Eilde of *elymode*, who introduced me to her amazing new bodysuits.  Since then I have been itching to put together a sexy look with one of them, and it gave me an excuse to wear this awesome full length coat.  I previously blogged the shorter version of this coat in a different color, but I really felt like it needed to be showcased here in its full glory, so here it is!

Skin Addict: Part One

I really don’t think it’s any secret that I love buying new skins.  And I’ll confess that lately I have been extremely bad about grabbing up new skin after new skin (although I’m sure the skin makers love me for it).  So I thought I’d start a new mini-series dedicated to my newest skin finds, which I hope will be helpful in giving a variety of beautiful skins their due airtime.  Unfortunately, I don’t really have enough time to do a fullscale review post for each new skin.  However, I won’t be recommending any skins with seams or obvious flaws, and I highly recommend you try the demos anyway, so you can use your own judgment.

The Cozy Life

I meant to get this look blogged before I left for Thanksgiving vacation, but my power went out as I was pulling together the style sheet, so I couldn’t crank the post out in time.  And since I haven’t been online since Thursday, it has taken me a few days to finally get this look blogged.  Anyway, I hope it was worth the wait.

Check-Swing

I grew up playing sports, so the term check-swing has an immediate sports connotation for me.  However, it’s also the name of this gorgeous coat I picked up at *COCO*.  I know I’ve been blogging *COCO* quite a bit lately, but the new releases at *COCO* are spot-on, and I love them.  And you know what?  I’m getting tired of hearing all of the rants about fashion bloggers consistently wearing items from the “big” stores.  Hey!  Guess what?  They’re “big” stores because they make amazing items like these.  And if I could make anything in SL that exhibited a mere fraction of the quality of items I’m seeing at *COCO*, AOHARU, etc., then I’d certainly want people to buy them and wear them.  And I hardly think it’s appropriate to discredit talented creators just because their shops are well-known and/or well-blogged.  /end rant
