Opium Fashion Agency

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.

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!

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.

Baiastice is keeping us cool over the dog days of summer with fun and breezy outfits, such as this Jane shirt in orange.  It doubles as a bodysuit, for those really hot days.  Keep it cool with the soft Baiastice Pulchra make up, here in porcelaine with hair base.  Tukinowaguma’s Maison short hair keeps it short and sassy, whilst giving you over 133 options for colours (plus modifiable for even more).  Paired with Zaara’s Sarayi painted hoops in gold, it’s an easy to pull on look.

Pair the Baiastice Jeans skirt and some hot Stiletto Moody Bare Olivia heels, slip on the YS&YS Sharon Bangles, and you are ready for anything in a kicky little look.

Stars Gems has some lovely gem sets out which will have you seeing stars.  The first is the Cella Set, which comes with earrings and a necklace with attachment for either chest or spine (always great to have options) along with a resizer.  The stones are a beautiful turquoise colour with silver wire wrapped onyx and silver beads, with tiny pink stones interspersed.

The Paige set comes with the same options for chest/spine and resize, but features a nice weight gold chain with a silver and gold heart.  The center diamond stone gives us what we truly love in our hearts–diamonds!

If you have not yet discovered Star Gems, please do check out the store.  You will find all sorts of treasures awaiting you!
