House of Shai –

Dakota Pantsuit From Casa de Shai

I didn’t buy these pants when I first saw them, wondering how that high waist would work. Sure, it can flatter the back end, but what about when you sit?  As a photographer, I look at clothes with frames in my mind, seeing the photo problems the clothes could cause. I need not have worried. This clothes are camera-friendly. The success of this suit is really in the details. See how smoothly the bell sleeves hang and yet do not fall through my arm. The gathering at the elbow and torso give it the naturalistic look we all want. And what would be better to wear with this than the gorgeous new Serenity shoes from Aphrodite Outlander of Aphrodite Creations. They come in a range of colors that can’t be missed.Shape: melli2 by hatchy mills Skin: Amy by RaC Pantsuit: Dakota by Casa de Shai Shoes: Serenity by Aphrodite Creations Necklace & Earrings: Chinoserie Azure by Muse 

Hello World & Happy New Year

Nikki Ree's Snow QueenI have thought about offering a fashion blog for some time and the first day of the New Year seemed an appropriate time to do it and what better to start with than the fabulous Nikki Ree gown I work the the Black & White ball @ Vicious last night. 

It’s Snow Queen by Nikki Ree and certainly earned it name. The dress is enhanced with snowflake lace throughout with  the kind of detailed craftsmanship that has made Nikki Ree such a big name in SL fashion.

On my flickr page you can see detail photos of the bodice, sleeves and hemline that will demonstrate how thoroughly Nikki Ree stuck to her snow theme while designing this dress.  

I paired the dress with Adam N Eve’s Incanti shoes in Silver with White Diamonds, Muse’s elegant Dauphine necklace and earrings and a Winter Queen mask from Innovations.     Earring

Funny story about the mask. I knew Innovations has a great collection of masks and popped over there with little time to spare before the party and there was a line. Knowing that I didn’t really need to browse all the masks, I asked the woman at the vendor if she would mind pausing if a white mask came up during her browsing since I was only looking for white. She looked at my dress and said, I know the mask for you and paged back a few to this mask…and she was right, it was  a perfect match with just a subtle hint of the blue-white frostiness that made the Snow Queen dress look so icy. Thanks again, o helpful shopper.
