House of Beninborough x3

Posted in OFA Models, Opium Fashion Agency, Opium Insight - New Releases, Reviews on September 7th, 2010 by dancerdallagio

House of Beninborough has released some great new gowns lately, and presented here are three of varied styles.  BB Kensington – Black is a great fun gown, with a tip of the hat (pun intended) to the Bond days, with a great derby hat, tilted just so.  The lace net bodice covers all, but leaves some room for the imagination to wonder.  The shrug over the shoulders is a great touch for style and mystery.  Muse Blanche Earrings in Gold add a bit of colour and the Baiastice Eva hair attachment adds a bit of spice.

This is an elegant fishtail mermaid style gown with just the right amount of sumptuous fabric at the bottom to fit any occasion (and to hide a small gun, should you find yourself in one of those Bond girl spy situations).  This is a great gown for your wardrobe and is timeless and classic.

BB Demonia – Black.White is a fun gown with contrasts of black and white, with white circles all over the black fabric, which ends in multitudinous tails. The waist is accented by a peplum of more white on black patterns, and from which fall side drapes of the main fabric.

The bodice is made up of openwork with the same black and white fabric as the main dress; matching gloves are provided.    There is a collar piece of wrap around ovals, and a headpiece of the same pattern arranged on one side of the head.  This is definitely a great look when you want something a bit unique from everyday gowns.  Gems & Kisses Vendetta Nails in Gold (Red) and Stiletto Moody Bare Barbara shoes in Red provide colour accents to the dress, whilst the Baiastice Giselle Hair Attachment provides a great hair for the gown.  Baiastice Onyx Pool Gems complete the look.

The back of the dress is open save for a central piece which mirrors the design of the headpiece.

BB Zabela – Gold/Multi is a very different look, and one that is glamorous and daring, with its wild combination of gold, greens, oranges, yellows, and black strass adorned fabric.  The waist has a flared up/down peplum the design of which is carried down with the fishtail of the skirt and upwards with the headpiece.

The headpiece is shown here in all of its rich colours.  Coordinating well with the colours are the Alienbear Design Almas Gold Necklace and Almas Gold Earrings III (Green).  Baiastice’s Pulchra make up28 is a great choice with its heavy yellow eye shadow and black eyeliner.

The back of the dress really shows off the headpiece, waist skirt and peplum and the lovely fishtail of the gown.  Coming or going, you will make a great impression in this gown.

Please check out all of the great new designs at House of Beninborough; you’ll be glad you did.

Making a girls dream come true – Alice in Wonderland by Wishbox

Posted in Reviews on September 6th, 2010 by wiccamerlin

A dream that many girls have inside maybe…one day being “Alice in Wonderland”… Wishbox made this dream come true in SL :)

Wisp Jinn, designer of Wishbox designs fantasy clothing for the dreamy, enchanted moments of life. This short dress is one example… A wonderful interpretation of the “Alice in Wonderland” outfit. Every little detail is made with love.. take a look at the skirt, the little pockets on the apron are filled with so amazing accessories like the key or the watch or all the wonderful little items. As a special Wishbox included one skirt version with empty pockets where you can add your own items :) The sweet knee socks are also part of the outfit. The shoulders are decorated with 2 little shoulder attachments that repeat the color of the skirt. At the top you can see again the eye for the detail of Wisp Jinn, if you take a closer look on the sweet teal ornament that decorates the belly.

A dream for a day made by Wishbox. You should take a look at the Wishbox Mainstore to see all the other lovely creations made by Wisp Jinn.

twirls

Posted in A Day in the Life of an SL Model, OFA Models, Opium Fashion Agency, Opium Fashion Agency, Reviews on August 25th, 2010 by dancerdallagio

Azul has issued the Maggie dress in new combinations, including this one in Champagne and Black.  It’s elegant, it’s classic, and it’s fun.  Dress it up, dress it down, but do dress it on.

This is a great dress for dancing or twirling for fun; watching the prims float and turn is a delight.  Satin, lace, flowers and frills, this is a dress for dress lovers.

Tukinowaguma recently released their 3rd Anniversary Hair Collection, and these are fun and fashionable, with a hair for every occasion and style.  This Darner Brown style is great to pair with this gown to add a touch of playfulness.  The side bangs and back gentle curls move effortlessly, whilst the upper curls add the difference that Tukinowaguma is famous for.   The look is finished with the stunning River of Love Earrings and Necklace II in Black from Alienbear Design.

I just couldn’t resist one more turn.  Kick up your heels in Stiletto Moody’s Bare Barbara (Black) and spin away!

White~Widow Tattoos by Julie Hastings give you a reason you can’t put off using the 2.1 viewer any longer.  They are sharp, meticulous, work on any skin base for maximum adaptability, and they are stunningly beautiful.  These works of art for your face transform any skin into a masterpiece of tattooed glory.

There are currently 12 different models to choose from, with each coming in 4-5 colours, and 7 come in full, right, or left side only versions.  This great versatility means that one of them will work for any outfit, especially as each one comes in silver, gold and/or copper (amongst other colours such as blue, green, pink, purple, turquoise).

Please click on the above images to view the full size tattoos in the Copper colour.

The White~Widow Tattoos are shown on the Baiastice-Pulchra-porcelaine-make up1 RD + hair, which is a beautifully smooth and light make up base.  The Baiastice-Lucrezia hair attachment-RED (porcelaine) keeps the focus on the face, whilst the addition of Zaara’s Nizam Jhumka earrings (tinted) and Fellini Couture’s GoldWire gown with headpiece shows how these tattoos fit effortlessly with couture fashion ensembles.  Please stop by Julie’s shop and see all of the variations and colours of these marvelous tattoos, and download that version 2.1 if you haven’t already, because you are going to need it now!

gildi

Posted in OFA Models, Opium Fashion Agency, Opium Fashion Agency, Reviews on August 19th, 2010 by dancerdallagio

Fellini Couture’s GoldWire gown is a stunning creation.  The bodice is a delicate sheer lightly embroidered pattern, with a richly textured skirt with deep hues of gold, russet, and browns.

Paillettes and embroidery cover the skirt, head attachment, and the shoulder flower.  Flowers are also found scattered around the base of the skirt.  A semi-sheer wrap covers the top of the bodice on the diagonal, flowing into a drape down the back.

The waist is accented with a tied belt to complete the look.  The Nizam Jhumka earrings and Haath-phool (hand-jewel) from Zaara have been tinted from their normal white to fit more naturally with the rich bronzed tones of this gown.

The gildi of the wrap can be seen here, befitting the name of the GoldWire gown. The Baiastice-Lucrezia hair attachment-RED (porcelaine) works with the tones of the gown (go reds!) and a brown toned lipstick coordinates well.

Fellini Couture continues to push the boundaries of elegant couture with delightful and lovely fanciful designs.
