Modavia Fashion Week is up and running and the best design houses in Second Life® are releasing their fall collections and we fashionistas are eagerly awaiting each new release as they come out. I want to highlight the wonderful releases from Bliss Couture this fall. They are a winning combination of high fashion and funk.

You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going round

Ow, we want the funk. Give up the funk.
Ow, we need the funk. We gotta have that funk.

Summer Days

It’s not summer in real life yet, but in Second Life it’s always summer (or winter, fall or spring) when you want summer. When I saw these adorable shorts from Zaara I knew I wanted to take a spin out on the Linden Ocean and luckily the new MiaMai top for Culture Shock was a great option to wear with the shorts.

On my second or third day in Second Life, I went to Enkythings and bought this old boat for one linden. It is one of my favorite purchases. I have taken it out and boated around the Linden Ocean since the beginning. My first home was a rental on the Ocean and then I bought 512 at Glookbone in November 2007 and have had land there ever since so I could go boating. There are fancier boats that react to the Linden winds and require you to do more than point, but they’re not for me. I don’t want to have to do much more than point and go there.

Drama

I love fashion drama – when it’s the drama of bold colors, flowing fabrics and the sheen of heavy charmeuse. Mami Jewell is one of the most dramatic creators with her rich formal gowns that explode with drama.

There’s enough drama in this skirt to fuel a daytime soap opera.

WideWorld Paradise

WideWorld Paradise
I made a trip to WideWorld Paradise – an sim exploring surrealist art – and think I could spend hours exploring its features. When I saw this gorgeous blue tunnel with orange peacock trees, I decided to wear the blue version of the Samuela dress from LaLei. The cross-banded sequins give it a nice modern look, especially with the bit of exposed midriff. It comes in six colors, pastel pink, blue and green and cream, gold and silver.

Isn’t the setting gorgeous? When you teleport into WideWorld Paradise, you are offered several places to teleport to, but don’t rely on just that. There are surprises for the intrepid explorer.

A litte R&R after dying

So I went exploring, looking for a place to shoot and was wandering around this fair when suddenly I fell to my death and was teleported back home. Not one to argue with the SL gods, I decided I would just settle my poor bruised bones on the couch and shoot at home. Besides, I wanted to get this outfit shot for the Same Damn Thing Challenge celebrating Achariya’s contributions to the Second Life fashion/blogging community,

I shot this to show you my favorite feature about my house – the swimming pool. The house is placed in the water naturally, avoiding the use of prim water and sounds. It gives it so much more life and the walkway down to the water is a masterpiece of perspective.

Old Italy

Corduroy usually looks so casual, but Mimikri has sure dressed up corduroy with this Fritzi skirt. The wonderful floral embroidery is gorgeous and the coordinating top dresses it up as well by adding full sleeves and a bow.

Looking for a place to shoot, I stumbled upon Old Italy where I had a blast wandering the narrow streets.

Tuli Zoe 04 lips bare_001

The word Zoe means life and that’s a great name for such a lively, lovely skin. Life is rich and varied and so are these skins. A woman can go from “girl next door” to “femme fatale” with a change of outfit and a dash of makeup – and so can Zoe. Tuli Asturias’ skins are known for combining fresh-faced vitality with classical elegance, giving you the versatility that you have in your own life.

The body is lovely and, as expected from an established and experienced skinner, it is flawless. There’s an extraordinary amount of versatility thanks to the tattoo layers which Tuli uses extensively. Those options are after the cut.

Two Moons Island

I wandered around the beautiful Two Moons Island wearing a lovely purple suit from L’Abel called Chaya. The suit is a classic jacket and skirt with modern details such as the exposed zipper up the front, the bold shoulders and the belled sleeves.

Such a beautiful outfit deserves a truly spectacular place and Two Moons Island, home of the always inventive MiaSnow, is just that place. There’s nothing like strolling in the moonlight under two moons in a nebula filled sky to remind you how beautiful Second Life can be.

Scarecrows & Navajos

I have no words of wisdom about scarecrows or Navajos, but Navajo is the name given to this luscious top from Peqe and, well, there is a scarecrow in the photo. I just liked the sound of the two words together. The top is really luscious, isn’t it?
