Fall for Fall

I think one of the things I love about Sabra Style is the designer Kylie Sabra's ability to use texture in her creations. 

  

This deceptively simple slacks and sweater outfit has so much detail and texture that you can almost feel the fabric right through your viewer screen. 

The Moira sweater and slacks in tawny by Sabra Style are just the things to wear as we fall into fall.

I love the detail on the hip pockets and the open back of the sweater.

I've paired some lovely jewelry from Maxi Gossamer with this autumn outfit. I love the way the necklace and earrings and huge ring carry through on my favorite color palette of browns, golds, oranges ... fall through and through.

Who wouldn't enjoy wandering through a forest path or garden overtaken by the season wearing this lovely set? I know I don't want to take it off!

I still get to wear one of the beautiful creations from the show's line of clothing: Velvetrythms. Franchise store owner Chick Willowind has gathered a collection of amazing designs for Southern Style models to present for viewing.

Love the way this dress flows when I move!

Not just sexy, but elegant, this dress is so much fun to wear. It moves as if alive!

The model/actress comes out in me when I wear this dress, and I have to strut and pose.

I just had to show you the back of this lacy flowing dress.

Backtracking a little: a little story about my sunshine ...

My whole life has been filled with sunshine... the sunshine of a loving family and a passel (yes, that's a word in my neck of the woods) of friends.

Now my husband is gone to the source that sent all of our spirits into this wonderful world where the sun shines on our faces and in our hearts. I'm not alone, though I live alone and am quite comfortable in my alone-ness. But I am easily bored. I couldn't spend all of my time going out into the real life world around me. There are times when I prefer my sole pursuits, when I enjoy the time I have to be my own person and create my own enjoyment. Yes, I admit it! I'm a loner by nature.

When I rejoined Second Life after being gone for a while, my goal was to find an outlet for the creative energy that churns within my soul. I've always had an imagination that would drive a normal person crazy. There are so many things going through my mind at any one moment that I'm surprised I don't live in the loony den.

So on with my story... I entered SL again in January of 2014 with an avatar created several years ago. There was a need to find new friends and reacquaint myself with old. But that wasn't all. I also wanted to make my mark... to be creative... to accomplish something... to find an occupation that would keep me busy and give me a sense of satisfaction at the end of the day.

For a month or so I wandered aimlessly around the grid searching. Then one day I saw some store models doing their thing at one of the SL stores. Hmmm.. I thought.. I could do that! What is so hard about standing on a pose stand or pedestal and just moving around occasionally? Simple. Easy peasy! (I was very naive back then.)

Sooo... how to go about becoming one of those beautifully clothed and coifed models? I ran a search and came up with some names of modeling agencies and academies. That was the start. I won't go into detail except to say that for a while I was like that college grad that just did not want to move on to a job or career. I became a perpetual student of modeling in whatever courses I could afford and get into. The outcome however proves that nothing was wasted.

I met so many great people, mentors, sisters in modeling, friends, etc. that I am overwhelmed by the generosity and love in this industry. I am so happy and having so much fun with my career as a model in this virtual world we either love or hate. My inner sunshine has brightened into a glow that is blinding in its intensity and burning in its heat. 

Thank you, SL! And thank all of you who touched me along the beginnings of my journey and continue to touch me as I travel the catwalks with that cat-that-ate-the-canary smile. 

I am one contented cat! Watch me curl up and stretch in the sunshine of it all!

Some of My Favorite Things

Surprise! I don't always match things exactly.
Like most of us, I'm still learning. But I know what I like and what I don't like. Some of my favorite things are presented here. The styling card will share the whats and where-to-gets. So, here goes ...

This dress feels so "right" on me. I think the shininess makes me believe I am wearing a second skin, and it's slightly rubberized ... like a deep sea diver on land.

BAX boots are the absolute best in my opinion! Before the days of sLink feet, these boots were always my go-to for whenever I wanted perfectly fitted and beautifully styled footwear. There are days even now that we have those wonderful sLink feet when I just want a system foot and want it to look exactly right! BAX does it in spades!

This is about my favorite things, including my dream man ... seen here as I stare off into the mystical future. Are you out there, lover? I can always hope. (See ya at the Junkyard Blues ... hint hint!)

Signing off now with a hope and a dream ... and some of my favorite things.

Fuschia for Fall

I love autumn! My favorite time of year is when the colors of the crops and berries become deep and vibrant and the leaves reflect the glory of the trees. Kylie Sabra has created a perfect long-sleeved knit dress for fall. I'm going to have so much fun wearing this dress, with or without tights.

Show your style while welcoming the cooler days of autumn!

Lazuri's Touch of Stone Fuschia jewelry is the perfect pairing for this fall/winter dress. 

Walk along any street in style with these slightly wild and sexy shoes from [.Twisted Barbie.].

Golden Dreams

Another gem of a dress from Sabra Style is this romantic gold gown. From the sleeveless ruffled top to the floating skirt, the whole look epitomizes a cinderella-esque feeling. Who wouldn't love to go to the ball in this wonderful creation ... and perhaps meet a handsome prince?

I feel like a princess already when wearing this dreamy dress!

The ruffle at the top adds that special touch and emphasizes the beautiful fabric of the gown's waist.

What a perfect dress for an autumn ball!
