Night Love

Our heroine sometimes walks the beach at night

searching for that elusive love.

What better dress to wear than

Night Love from FLOWER DREAMS' 

designer Nile Karas?

Sparkles abound even when the moon

hides behind a shroud of fog.

Zuri Rayna's Mist Elite collection jewels

add that touch of luxury

for our beauty's solitary stroll.

The Thing with Feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
-- Emily Dickinson

I'm a romantic at heart,
and I can imagine a heroine
in a gothic novel standing on some shore
in this lovely black and white dress from Lybra
... waiting ... hoping...
for a certain ship to appear on the horizon
that will bring a lover home from distant lands.

And of course, adorning our heroine
with such hope in her eyes would be
Zuri Rayna's gothic black lace and diamonds.

What woman wouldn't feel like a heroine
in this partnering of black and white
from Lybra and Zuri?
Be still my heart!

What powerful images can be evoked 

with only a dress, jewelry and setting.

This romantic fantasy dress - Muses' Innocent dress - can be found at

The Fantasy Collective.

I love the flowing sleeves and deep rich color 

which is so wonderfully highlighted by gold trim.

This beautiful and timeless crown, scepter and necklace

from Zuri Jewelry can be found on the marketplace.

How powerful this lovely gold and 

gem-encrusted set makes a woman feel!

Lady in Red

Have I mentioned how much 

I love shopping at Jewels Isle?

I just discovered this fabulous dress shop --

Merivale Designs.

And of course, the Marteen red dress caught my eye.

Oh, I'm so weak!

The fabric details are intricate and very haute couture,

and tiny roses decorate the neckpiece and top of the bodice.

And oh my! How versatile is

Zuri Rayna's Mist Elite collection

with the color change menu

for metals and gems!

Shown here, my choices of colors

can be changed with a right click.

How convenient and wonderful is that?

Oh, how I love romance ... and glamour!

Where Have All the Dragons Gone?

There's a wonderful children's book called 

Where Have All the Dragons Gone.

Author Bryan Auxier teaches a lesson about

 the dangers of smoking through 

his creative characters.

The dreamer in me loves the idea that

dragons can exist in some far off fantasy land.

To me, the dragon mistress would be 

dressed in this beautiful gown from !!TWA!! 

(The White Armory) called Majestica Salina Gown set.

To call the powers that will gift her power over her dragon,

this dragon mistress wields a mighty staff.

From The Forge, the Aura Staff is perfect for the task.

And of course, the dragon mistress must sport

the finest jewels and gems in the realm.

Leave it to Zuri Jewelry to come up with the

Mist Elite Necklace, Earrings, Bracelets, and Diadem set. 

I do believe this dragon taming might be within my powers!!

Classical Offerings

What is more romantic than a seaside balcony,

a gorgeous dress, classic jewelry,

and a handsome man?

Three out of four isn't bad!

This beautiful dress is from ..::Dead Dollz::.

and is curiously named Tainted Love.

For what can be tainted about this offering

by designer Kiddo Oh?

What better to top off a classy dress than classical jewelry?

Zuri Rayna's Venice Rose Necklace, Bracelet and Earrings

fill the bill perfectly.

Deep dark ruby red jewels and roses 

trimmed in gold make this woman happy.

A Splash of Flash and Color

My imagination goes wild 

when I find a dress I absolutely love, 

and I find myself wearing it 

over and over and over again.

Designer Bodza Blackadder's *LI* Colour Circles in Daffodil

I've worn this dress many times,

and still the magic is there.

*LI* (Living Imagination) is now called

Whimsical Imaginarium. 

Take a visit to see Bodza's fantastic creations!

A great complementing set of jewelry

for this colorful and elegant dress

is from jewelry designer Zuri Rayna:

Antique Olive/Perdot Pearl Choker, Bracelet, and Earrings.

Don't they make quite a splash?

Find these gems at Zuri's main store.

I'm Seeing Spots!

So here I am again sharing my favorite fashion items from Second Life.

Yes, I retired from blogging and modeling, 

but hey, who knows what life will bring? 

Especially when you're dealing with a love of something: 

like SL fashion!!

For my first offering this time around, 

I've chosen designer Angelkatie Hunter of AK Designs.

This adorable Aina mesh dress with dots sports a multi-ruffled skirt 

and bare shouldered look. 

This whimsical dotted dress is both playful and chic --

perfect for any summer outing.  

The wearer will wow all the men present at any gathering 

and make all the women green with envy.  

A close up of Angelkatie's Aina dress shows those cute ruffles.

So shake those dotted ruffles, ladies, 

but don't spill the lemonade!

AK Designs items can be found both in the marketplace and in world.

To see other AK Designs, drop into the Spring Gala fashion show:
