NIGHT ON THE TOWN

Ready for a glamorous night on the town? Loovus Dzevavor will have three new glam gowns at Vintage Fair. Fabulous, metallic, clingy in golds, silvers and coppers.



Eclectica's antique art nouveau jewels are lovely, elaborate and come with a HUD that both retextures and tints the tiara, earrings, necklace, bracelet and rings. Adore!



And I just had to photograph this classic car parked in the Monarch shop, suitable for Hepburn or Bacall. But they also have vintage military vehicles, limousines, taxis, even an old curtained hearse. Stop by for a visit!

CHINOISERIE

Since the seventeenth century, Chinoiserie in art and architecture has reflected the influence of oriental textiles and ornament. From there it went to fashion ... and never really left. And I'm so glad! The fabrics in this tote and slacks make me happy. I picked the blue shirt because it reminds me of Wedgwood blue, and makes this skin look like porcelain.

I added some cosmetics that I think are a little remeniscent of Geisha makeups. Just a little bit.

Altogether I think a modern casual redo of a classic idea. Most pieces shown available at the Culture Shock charity fundraiser. :D

Top: TokiDoki "Spring Top" (mesh)
Pants: Miamai "Mahvi Vintage Red" (mesh)(Culture Shock benefit item)
Purse: Miamai "Traveler Bag Sakura" (at Culture Shock)(includes poses)
Ring: La Gyo "Cube Ring" (Culture Shock benefit item)(texture change)

AT THE SEAWALL

Walking on the seawall wearing a windblown spring gown ... actually, the skirt looks remarkably like it's caught in the wind, but it is a sculpted piece. The vivid color makes me feel like a fabulous stained-glass butterfly. The dress is Bliss Couture's beneift gown at the Culture Shock fundraiser.

I added these gorgeous peep-toe pumps from Your Skin and Your Shape. The shoes come with/without cute ankle socks and a texture-change HUD. I am showing the color that is the charity item, but there are many others. The shoe includes a full sculpted foot that joins at the ankle. The color of the skin matches the Roxanne skin perfectly right out of the box ... two thumbs up.

Dress: Bliss Couture "Byrn" (Culture Shock benefit item)
Shoes: Your Skin and Your Shape "Brera" (Culture Shock benefit item)
Skin: Your Skin and Your Shape "Roxanne" (Culture Shock benefit item)
Eyeshadow: Cheap Makeup "Zeitgeist" (Culture Shock benefit item)
Lipstick: Redbird "Matte Nudes 6" (Culture Shock benefit item)
Hair: Esile "Take it Off" (mesh)
