Clothing :: !! Luna Jubilee !!

I’m again very pleased with the releases from Phoenix Rising. Long dresses are more my style; not these types of gowns. I just couldn’t resist the bodice or, erm, lack there of.  Its just what this dress warranted.

A full empire skirted dress with a micro top and flower accent is for soon-to-be release from EarthStones. This necklace and the matching earrings and bracelet will be launched at the RFL Clothing Fair opening tomorrow.

This year is no different. Prepare to be immersed in 8 of the greatest “Fashion Cities of the World” surrounding a center sim patterned after the UN Sculpture Gardens containing sculptures from some of SL’s most talented artists.

We have some of the cream of the crop coming together in the fashion world of Second Life bringing designs from all over the world to this virtual shopping experience. Each of these designers dedicate months of time getting ready for this event. They are all committed to raising as much money for Relay for Life as possible.

This year we are again inviting the Live Musicians and DJ’s of Second Life to join us. Covering 24/ 7 through-out the fair, fund raising, and letting us all know just what can be found through-out the 9 sims.

The Clothing Fair 2010 promises to be even better than ever, featuring:

Over 150 Clothing Designers
Live Music and DJ’s to keep you entertained while you shop
St. Patrick’s Day Party with RL Keltic Music performed by LabGraal
Photo Contest
Fashion Shows
Treasure Hunts
And Much Much More. ….

Additional details will be announced on the official website.

LunaJubilee.com is one of the blogs that will cover the event.

TuliI’m super picky and choosy on what skins I blog. Very few designers have been able to capture my attention. Tuli is one of those designers on that very short list.

Tuli’s Eva,to be released on March 18, will be shown off with the sim opening. Journey, the store’s sim, has always been very well staged for such stunning work. I’m really looking forward to seeing the new landscaping.

Before the launch, be sure to check out Tuli. You’ll find some of the skin lines discounted as well as the clothing in the temporary location high above the clouds.

Ok so alittle about Eva. The makeups are more dramatic in this line. Even the most “natural” looking face packs an impressive punch with its pale tones and soft under-eyeliner. I’m a makeup girl so any of my favorite skin designers have me at the “natural” face. I think if this base face is done well the rest of the faces will be amazing.

With that being said, go now to get the current skin lines marked at a discount and come back in a week for the sim reopening to see Eva. What a great name for such a beautiful name.

Whippet & Buck launched new things – lingerie and jewelry. Happiness is that very combo.

WB

This is my first time wearing lingerie from this designer and I’m really quite impressed. The back detailing is just as beautiful as the front. Even the colors in the set are dream-like and soft. Just perfect!

Don’t fret if you don’t like to be “covered” when wearing lingerie, the cincher with or without the garters are created on its own layer.

As I noted, “this designer” is not typically part of the WB crew but let’s hope she stays onboard to make more pretty things for us.

The other release is the pearl necklace. When first released it was a Friday Linden Friday item. Now its a regular release in several colors.

I’m looking forward to more items from WB. Its great to have this store releasing items again!

Phoenix Rising is usually that store that I browse for a more upscale casual look. The latest release includes a long flowing dress with a plunging neckline. The skirt was perfect to test out my newest learned photoshop skill: Motion.

Several days ago, Leeloo Graves passed me a folder of her latest release. I have to be honest I never heard of this designer prior to her sending me her items. Upon visiting her store, there seems to be an identity crisis for branding and I got over it quickly as I saw the other items in the store. It looks like she’s a slow releasing designer and offers really quite nice quality products.

It took me some time to blog this particular outfit since I don’t have many things to go with this theme. After a quick shopping trip at a few of those stores that I admire but rarely shop, I found the perfect elements. I just needed to set the scene for this post. a very popular sim comes to mind but I wanted something more unique. I found Alpha & Omega. This sim is amazing!

Since last March I’ve owned a Loco Pocos avatar. My first one was from a hunt, I believe, and Express and I lived in them for sometime. There are dozens of different avatars to customize. Yup. Customize.

You can pick up a ton of great items for your avatar. Even other content creators are designing products for the brand. For me, I used hair I already had in my inventory, Truth’s Luna hair.

Most, if not all items, are HUD driven customization. In just a click or two clothing will change colors or textures. The customization doesn’t stop at clothing either; eyes, ears, tails, emotions/gestures, and even all the fun toys that are attached.

Express’ fav toy is the tank … he likes to shoot at me.

Loco Pocos

Its a real sense of community on the sim. Yes, it is a full community. The Loco Pocos sim is amazingly designed with several places to explore and fish. Just when you think you have seen it all a hunt will begin and it is a full immersion into this tiny avatar world.

The hunts are my favs not just for the fun treats or the well organized cohesive themes but the people. Seeing everyone’s own Loco Pocos is awesome. I had no idea there are so many folks in the community … and all so very friendly!!

Its incredible stuff … something you have to experience. There even is a free Loco Poco avatar to get you addicted started.

Starting today until March 8th is a massive 40% off sale. Some of the rare avatars will also be available during the sale. Hurry get to Loco Pocos today!
