Second Style Magazine

Sachi Vixen of Adam an Eve has brought us two completely casual but lovely summer outfits that are perfect for any casual date. Both Billie and Bobbie feature a lovely mini skirt and a soft textured collared shirt that gives both looks a nice finished look – you look super casual without being sloppy. The Windchime Earrings from Bliensen + Maitai lend a fun boho feel to the look.

A wonderful compliment to both looks is the fresh NEW skin from PXL Creations KIM – and she is NOW available for all of us pixel girls for a new summer look. I’m wearing the natural tone with the WINE lips.

I have never been much of a sandals girl on the grid, but these summery looks drove me over to Shiny Things where I knew I’d find something to compliment. I picked up two pair just for this shoot because I couldn’t decide! Yay fashion blogging as an excuse for shopping, eh?

I’ve slipped into jewelry from Earthstones for the second outfit – Sylvan – mother of pearl with Brass.

If you haven’t been to EarthStones recently, Abraxxa has some lovely news out as well which I highly recommend. All of her pieces are so versatile and unique, I do love her work.

While you might readily run to Bare Rose for a Little Bo Beep Costume, or a Race Car Driver Costume, or some Ultra Modern Cyber Goth Punk Demon Princess outfit – did you ever consider turning your eye around the room to see what June has to offer in lingerie?
The beautiful thing about Bare Rose is that even if an outfit isn’t billed as lingerie – if you take a peek at the layers (for which they are famous) you’ll find that a lot of full outfits peel down into some smexy lingerie as well.

Like Alton BrownI like a multi-tasker. This baby-doll nightie set peels off the prim baby-doll to become a really lovely and femme lingerie set. More demure than some of the more typical “come hither” sort of lingerie you’ll find on the grid.

The socks are golden which slip under these stocking styled leggings for a contrasting look. Foot fetish anyone? My feet are golden!

Where to get it:
Skin – BLOWPOPAnnyka has four beautiful new skins just released yesterday. They are flawless.
HAIR – BISHWEAR- FROM THE HAIR FAIR – and tried as I might I could not muddle my way BACK to their location at the Hair Fair. But here is their mainstore!
And of course the incomparable Bare Rose for the Lingerie
Happy Shopping!

Is there anything more romantic than a weekend away together,  when the romance is still all hot and delicious? People used to travel in style, travelling was important and not something everyone could do – so you dressed up.  This was exactly what came to mind when I saw the release of Estelle from PRELUDE, a cozy boutique owned by Polaire Aeghin.

I was reminded of my first trip away with Silo – we went to Memphis. I spent hours painstakingly making sure shoes matched clothes, I had the right jewelry, that I packed the LONG WEAR lipstick. In short – to be elegant while travelling – at least as much as possible.

The deep rich textures of this dress, which comes in several colors, are more muted than jewel toned, but preserve the vintage styling Polaire was going for. I’ve added pearls from Bonita’s because I figured if I was dressing up to travel, I should break out the GOOD jewelry.

So where should one travel, in a virtual world? After all – there are so many places one could go to. I have a suggestion!

What about the Korova Milk Bar? Read the rest of this entry »

In keeping with the age old tradition of luxurious lingerie for a lady’s trousseau, BLACKLACE offers a wide variety of lingerie items that have both form and function. If they WERE RL lingerie – I like to think they’d be the sort you would readily wear out and under your clothes, not just about the boudoir.

Their lingerie styles and textures are a great testament to creativity.  Each offers playful and sexy styling.

So then the question becomes, what to DO with so much beautiful lingerie?

Well, the answer is simple – WEAR it.

Blacklace lingerie totally feeds my inner girly girl with elegant lines and traditional styling. Their rich textures and unique offerings practically make me drool every time I’m in there.

And for those of you on a budge, these next two photos are freebies which are available in the main store.

Gorgeous!

While I was there, I also picked up some loungewear as I’m a pajama fiend. Luxurious pajamas are not in huge supply on the grid – but Blacklace fills the bill with this beautiful offering.

I truly want to lay about on a chaise and read books all day in this beautiful set.  Or invite people over and SAY this is what I’ve been doing, just to emphasize the life of luxury that I am going to now pretend I live.

This last piece and the first are BELLE by Blacklace and are available in a huge rainbow of colors – I’m only showing you TWO.  But I could hardly choose from the options offered so please take a look because there is a color for every occasion.

Blacklace offers some of my favorite lingerie on the grid. Check them out!

Where To Get It:

• Skin – Symphony Skin – SSV3 – Berrylicious
• Hair – Damselfly – All Styles from Damselfly
• Lingerie – Blacklace
• Eyes – Poetic Color

I spent some time in Second Life a few days ago attempting to hunt up the best leather jackets available, which are actually in horrible short supply. All leather jackets shown are in a shade of black in order to better show structure and base texturing. All hair in this post by FOAM, denim by Tres Blah, and skins by Rosemary Galbraith.
