This is another picture that Leah and myself have been talking about doing, with a talented photographer which unfortunately didn’t realised. Our theme was inspired by Donna Karen Spring/Summer 2013 Campaign ad. I took up the challenge in taking and editing the picture, and here are the results. 🙂

It was a few hours of work and I hope you like it as much as I do!

For my styling, I was wearing the Atena dress from LpD, pairing it with a fur collar from PurpleMoon that I tinted to pink. The idea is a simple and relaxed look with a touch of glam.

I love what Leah did with her styling too and you should really check the details on her blog and taxis to the stores here!

While I welcome the season of Summer, Spring is really my favourite time of the year because it is the season where lives are renewed and flowers blossom….so before summer takes over spring in my part of the world, I just want to salvage the last feeling of Spring.

Putting on the Shiki’s Spring Dress helps me feel just right that. This dress is colourful and full of beautiful flora textures with the use of feminine fabrics throughout the dress. Chest and waist prims enhanced the sophisication, and while the dress is perfect for Spring, it is really a dress that one could put on anytime of the year. The Spring Dress comes in 3 patterns that are named affectionately – Emotion (worn in picture below), Passion and Romance.

Hope

The “Hope” by Shiki is a beautiful beautiful dress that is elegant, sensuelle and stylish. I fell in love with this dress immediately I saw Kay Fairey show casing it in the fashion show. I especially love the “earth” color because of its’ gold and white shades and the conventional one piece design that does not look conventional and simple with its’ feather like sculpted prims throughout the dress. I know…I have a soft spot for something soft and light.

However, taking pictures of this dress using my not-so-good laptop was a nightmare. I had a lot of difficulties controlling the lighting and making the dress looks at its’ best under my lenses and had to try taking pictures at different sims with different backgrounds. The two pictures below are the best results I could produced for now. If you like a clearer picture of the dress, click here.

The Hope dress also comes in sky and white colors.

This dress comes just in time for a casting with the “Semi-formal” theme. Though I have picked to wear the shorter version of the dress, its’ couture design has immediately elevate the look and because the dress itself is so beautiful I did not add any clothing on it. Instead, I accessorize using gloves, an edgy ring and hair accessory. The fur gloves is from the inspiration of one of Fall 2011’s must haves. It’s white fur coincidentally reflects wonderful colors under the lights when pose at a right angle, giving a nice contrast to the dress.

Can you see the colors reflection on my fur gloves? Both the photos are unedited.

Again, my favourite black ring from Chop Zuey Couture does it again in adding some edge to my style.

And I am happy to say that I, together with a few other models, have been selected for the photoshoot for the first issue of [Deviate] magazine. Do watch this space for more details on the publication. 😉

Swing Dress

I like to start my first post with something simple, yet classy to my standards. This white swing dress from *COCO* with little lavendar and white petal prints on it, and three beautifully sculpted flowers that sit on a nicely cut collar, is so elegant that it really does not need any distractions. I have contemplated to match this ensemble with a hat or a clutch, but I really love this clean look, so here you are!

Here is the image of the same dress posted by the designer, Cocoro Lemon. You can definitely glam up the look like this one.

I wore this ensemble to the Nicky Ree and the Entre Mares’ fashion shows on Saturday. Felt a little under dress compared to some beautiful models. Having said that, this style was still incredibly presentable. Most fashion shows are laggy anyway and the less prims an avi packed on the better it is, so this style is perfect. It is gorgeous, easy-to-put-together ensemble and lag managable. 🙂

Dress: *COCO* Swing Dress Lavendar

Shoes: Stiletto Moody Bare Marilyn [Nude]

…..and I can’t help to include a copy of my face shot here. I am practising my SL photography and photoshop skills and would love to hear what you think about these shots. I didn’t touch up my avi in the photo, just played around with the blending options to make the photo brighter than the original. 🙂

The sexy eyes lashes are from Lelutka. I don’t like something that is too elaborate, this is just nice for a runway show yet natural enough for daily life.

My eyes, that seem to be speaking to you, are from FASHISM the “Sunrise” Eyes range, warm silver color.

I found these two items on Harper’s blog. A big thank you to lovely Harper Beresford for posting them. 🙂
