Second Style Magazine

I love how serendipity works. Yesterday, I posted about the “Mary Sue” outfit which features 2 sheer blouses, and today Rebel Hope posts this sultry, full of girly lace bra which would be superb to wear underneath that blouse. Ain’t SL grand sometimes? Get it at Rebel Hope Designs on Isla Del Amor.

In the same forum post, Rebel writes:

[O]ur Clara location will soon be closing as we are making way for a second island. If you are a regular shopper at that location please take note that it will be closing within the next week or so. Thank you to those of you who have been faithful to that shop. It’s tough to give up our main grid land but on to bigger and better things.

I really love looking at this dress (one of two in this post) by Jonquille Noir of Little Rebel Designs. The details which really grabbed me here were the beautiful fly away satin ribbon at the waist, the lacy gloves and the matching choker. The dress itself is a total winner in a lovely cream/sepia vintage hue that just looks so elegant and classic. Reminds me something from 40s Hollywood — like the starlet du jour might wear on the red carpet to a premiere. Little Rebel Designs has a new custom built store in Gallinas! You should go see it and this dress…

As unbelievable as it sounds, I think I’ve run out of new ways to describe how amazed I am by Ginny Talamasca. Last night she teased me with a vendor texture for Defile in gold and then proceeded to show off Nana, and Guerilla too. Every time I saw a new texture rez, I wrote back, “ZOMG!!!” This morning, she posts all three in the forums. Now I kind of understand how a junkie feels when she needs a fix. Ginny, you’re my fashion crack dealer!

I can’t get over the belt details in Nana, and the muted pinstripes in the fabric on those pants is really lovely, marvelous work. I don’t want to skip over Guerilla, but I have been a fan of Ginny’s denim designs and this one will not disappoint either.

But what really made me weak-kneed was the Defile gown in gold. Who says you need prims to look stunning? This design certainly proves that. And as I told Ginny last night, I can’t think of another designer in SL who does metallics with as much pitch perfect shine and glitter. There’s no way you could be a punch drinking, stand off to the side of the dance floor wallflower wearing Defile to your next dressy event. My only problem now? Finding shoes worthy of this gown. Suggestions are very welcome! Dazzle is on Innamoramento and apparently in the midst of a remodel — pardon her plywood.

Tina PetGirl Bergman posted this tasty couture bag on the forums this morning. Who knew? EXAKT doesn’t just carry clean modern Scandanavian style furniture and fun lamps for your virtual house, but wearable art for your avatar. Excellent. This is a clean, classic design — not at all surprising given Tina’s furniture generally can be described the same way. I love the white with black dots — it will go with virtually any outfit. The EXAKT main store is in Verloren.
