I recently had the great pleasure of doing a fabulous fashion show with SuperElite called Casino Royal. It was such fun, and along with SySy Chapman, I got to meet and work with an amazing new designer! Her name is Dezi Jarvinen and she is the creative genius behind *Staged*. She has made some beautiful skins, and very nice clothing. All of her items are 100% hand drawn, and I am such a sucker for that!
This item here is the *Staged* Summer Suit Set. It is available in eight colors: beige, blue, red, black, green, lavender, white, and dark brown. I am showing you the beige and the blue. This suit is made of a crisp linen, just perfect for the upcoming warm weather. The versatility in this design is outstanding! You get a very nicely drawn jacket with prim sleeves, some cozy linen pants with prim cuffs, a cute little tank top, a pair of leggings, and shorts with prim cuffs. There are so many mix and match combinations here, and each item comes on every layer. I have on *Staged* Danielle – Superb skin, Maitreya Harlow – Chestnut hair, and Page 3 Blue Eyes 2. Shoes are ETD Peep Slingbacks (Black), and jewelry’s DM Modern Retro Bangles & Hoop Earrings Set. For the *Staged* Summer Suit Set -Blue photograph, I changed my bracelets to Bax Flower Bracelet – Special.
Now I am showing you the *Staged* 007 Cocktail Dress. This was designed specifically for the fashion show that I was in, and it comes in seven colors: tangerine, gold, mermaid, peridot, tropic, blue and purple. This dress is comes with two different ways of wearing it. You can have a flirty cocktail dress, or an elegant mermaid style gown. Both versions of the skirt come with a bright pop of color at the hemline in an intricate lace accent. Includes a flowing scarf that matches the peek a boo lace at hem of skirt. In the 007 Cocktail Dress Blue, my skin is *Staged* Kate – Ocean Bollywood. Shoes are Peep Slingbacks (Orange), and hair is Aiiyanna – Chestnut, both from ETD. My eyes are Page 3 Turquoise Eyes 1, which are framed by Redgrave Eyelashes 3 – Rendezvous. Jewelry is *OL* Little Karma – All Fresh Out (bangles – tintable), and CS Chunky Hoop Earrings. In the 007 Cocktail Dress Tropic, I switched my shoes to ETD Peep Slingbacks (Lime) and changed the colors on the bangles.
This cute little number is the *Staged* Embroidered Dress. Not only does it come in eight colors: dark grey, red, rose, purple, blue, cream, white, and brown, but you can have 3 different looks! A short, fitted mini dress, a knee length, flouncey skirt, or a simple top! I paired the top with *Staged* Medium Wash Favorite Jeans, which have some cute prim cuffs and come in 9 different colors. I LOVE the versatility of her designs. I have to add, the outfit comes with puffy prim sleeves, but somehow I totally missed putting them on in my pictures! WTF The 3 colors I have on are rose, white, and brown. Skin is *Staged * Danielle – Fusion, with Detour Writer – Java – Flexi Hair. I have on my favorite brand of eyes, Page 3 in Blue Eyes 4 and they are nicely housed in Redgrave Eyelashes 3 – Rendezvous. Finishing it all off is DM ‘Tarnished’ Silver & Lapis Set.
I hope you like these items as much as I do, and that you will head down to Staged today and see the rest of what Dezi has to offer. At this moment, there is a gorgeous pink dress in her store with the proceeds going to RFL!
