De Designs Maria

When I saw this new design on the feed recently I knew I had to have it. I’m a sucker for long draping dresses that have a satiny finish to them. I quickly tp’d to DE Designs and bought it. After putting it on and a little bit of adjustment, I felt as if it had an almost gypsy feel to it, probably because of the hood.

DE Designs Mirror Queen

Then all of a sudden I remembered these two other outfits from this store that I bought a while back. I decided it was time for me to blog this store since I’ve never done it before and I feel as if they really have a unique style. I still remember the first time I saw the Mirror Queen dress, I fell in love with it instantly. The color and textures is what got me and when I put it on, I just felt like a queen.

DE Designs Lucidity

The Lucidity dress is by far one of my most favorite of all time. I remember when I bought it, my first thought was, I have to buy some awesome thigh high boots for this. When I found those gorgeous boots by Rebecca Lipfert of Cre@ction I cried tears of joy because OMG JUST LOOK AT THEM!!!

DE Designs is a huge store full very interesting and different designs. If you’re looking for something awesome to wear in black, this is the store you’ll find it! So take the slurl now and happy shopping!

Oops Deep Sea

I just love it when I discover new designers that really take the time and effort to make quality clothes. Oops is another one of those stores that has put a huge smile on my face thanks to its wonderful designer Emilie Susanti.

Oops Dotted

This beautifully decorated store is located on the Bury Island SIM. When you enter the store you’ll notice a gift bag full of goodies right in the middle on top of the coffee table. The store is full of cute little dresses and gorgeous graphic T’s. And as you can see from the pictures, the quality of the designs is very nice.

Oops Samba

Another fabulous thing about Oops is that nothing in the store is over L$150!!! Can you believe it? Yes I am not kidding, these gorgeous designs I am wearing are all just L$150 each. If that’s not a reason to take the slurl right now then I don’t know what is!

The ARTisan ~ Issue 1, originally uploaded by Wyatt Benoir.

I’ve written two fashion articles for the ARTisan. Take a look online or IM me inworld for a copy.

http://issuu.com/artisanmagazine/docs/the_artisan_1

This is the first issue for the ARTisan and it is full of beautiful images from the SL art community. The articles I wrote were about Shop Seu and {Zaara}. If you get the chance, it’s definitely an interesting read.

In the past month or so Zaara Kohime has worked on and released three outfits that she says were inspired by the spirit of Goa. I had a chat with her about what this exactly means so she gave me a little explanation for each outfit that I found so fascinating I felt as if it HAD to be blogged.

Essentially the Goa series is more about the kind of people that visit Goa rather than the place itself. The first outfit she released from this series was the long dress Calangute that came in so many colors. This elegant dress would be worn by those who have an annual ‘rejuvenating’ trip to Goa and would check into an expensive boutique hotel with exotic spas and private beaches. In this dress, you can visualize yourself sipping white wine in your personal beach shack while waiting for your kerala head massage appointment.

The Anjuna outfit is more for the laid back beach bum variety. This species usually is found outdoors, exploring one beach a day, stopping at shacks to enjoy the calamari fritters and Kings beer. They tend to lie in their chairs all day until the necessity to pee. (Which might be often since beer is cheaper than water in Goa.)

The third and final outfit called Xacuti (which will be released soon) is usually worn by a strange more nocturnal being. They sleep off the day, and proceed to beach hop all night, from one rave party to another. Progressively getting drunk and/or stoned, they don’t even know what they’re doing anymore. I’m just wearing the bikini part of this colorful outfit, but to see the whole idea view Zaara’s picture. As you can see from the pic, looking unusual is mandatory. In this outfit imagine yourself tripping all night to trance and waking up the next day wondering where you are and what you did last night!

So there you have it folks, what an interesting and educational series. Not only are they gorgeous, colorful and fun to wear but the stories behind each outfit are so fascinating!

Visit Zaara’s new mainstore location in the Tesla sim to pick up these outfits:

I thought it over for a bit and finally came to this decision. I’ve always wanted to try out wordpress, had no experience in it, so I thought this would be the best way. Now that Azar has left Second Life, I figured since Fashion Twat was her baby, I would let it be just hers and I have moved all my posts from there to here. I also realized the personal blog I had started few months ago was lying dormant most of the time. So instead of trying to maintain all these different blogs, I accumulated all my posts into one and decided to continue here. I will try and get this blog on the Fashion feed (lets hope it happens soon). If not, I’ll just continue to blog for fun, when I want and only because I enjoy it. Most of the posts will revolve around fashion and photography though, because that’s just what interests me.

Anyhow, now that I’m here…I hope you guys keep reading. :)
