Dear Readers! Last day for the Darkness Monthly Event and you don't want to miss all this great event has to offer. I just love the "Nyx Jewelry Set" by Moondance Boutique. This set features a diadem, arm bands, choker and bracelets. The stunning pieces have the usual HUD that allows many choices of gems and metals. Each individual piece is crafted to perfection so of course when you have the whole set on is it any wonder that all eyes will be on you? Be sure not to miss this one! These shoes are a favorite of mine and I thought very fitting with the outfit. They are called "Butterfly" by N-Core. I'm wearing the Maitreya version in the photo below. The HUD allows you to change the color of the shoe and the color of the two sets of butterflies adorning the shoe. With spring here and summer coming this will become a wardrobe staple. The dress and top beneath it that I'm wearing are from Vero Modero. The pieces are called, "Island Top" and "Tek Dress". There is a HUD included that allows you to choose any color you wish so the varieties are endless! The texture is a rich suede and it's the perfect addition to your wardrobe with the hot summer months coming up. The long, slightly messy ponytail over the shoulder hairstyle called, "Rosalina" by CatWa complements the dress perfectly and allows the sexy choker and diadem to be seen. Don't miss these fabulous finds! Happy shopping till next time! Fashionably Yours... xox Arianna Styling Credits:

Hello Readers! This month's round of SWANK has given us an array of all things Angel like, including wings. One of the prettiest I had the pleasure of opening from the many boxes of goodies was the "Danity Wings" from Prey. Multicolored in shades of red, orange, black, white and gold, these distinctive feathers adorn the appealing curve of the wings, catching the light and the eye. They are a source of pure inspiration but then that is often the case when you open something from Prey, you become inspired! The "Danity Dress" features a deep slit in the front of the thigh revealing an underskirt of a contrasting rich color. The shades match the wings perfectly! Sizes are supplied for all the popular mesh bodies as well as a Fitmesh version. If you are a fan of Moondance Boutique as I am then you know Kathrin Dassin is very generous with gifts for her patrons and this month is no different. Featured in the store until the end of the month is the "Lotus Moon Jewelry Set", a gift for members of the Moondance Boutique group. The set features a multi-strand necklace, drop earrings, several rings and a septum piercing. Done with a quarter moon shape, delicate chain, and differently shaped crystals, this set is striking and quite unique. The HUD offers the option of changing the gems, the crystals and the metals, giving us endless opportunities to customize our look. Pretty great for a group gift isn't it? Also available at this round of SWANK is the "Angelica Nail Set" by You Got The Look. This simple set offers the delicate shading of angel's wings in pastel tones for your manicure. Available for all major mesh body hands including Slink. I'm showing them here on Maitreya. To complement my angelic look I picked up the "Hera Lipstick Palette" by P O E M A as well as the "Venus Eyeshadow Palette" also by P O E M A. They are available for CatWa, Omega and Lelutka. The lipstick comes in fresh and natural shades, while the eyeshadow is deeper and more pronounced. It is offered in lovely jewel tones. My hair is pulled back and worn in a high ponytail in order to not get in the way of my fabulous wings! It's called, "Tara" by Truth and I'm showing it in the very pretty shade of Toffee. As it's re-sizable and not fitted you are able to move it around to suit your head shape, which is always convenient especially when you are doing a photo shoot. Last, but not least please be sure you pick up these amazing thigh high boots at this month's round of Designer Showcase. Called, "Tessa" by Lindy, I'm wearing the red although they also come in tan, tawny, pink, dark pink, and black. They come in versions for Classic, Slink and Maitreya feet. I'm wearing the Maitreya in the photo below. As the month draws to a close be sure to get your shopping in at all these great events! See you all soon!

A trip to the Black Fair had me carrying home lots of goodies including this comely dress by Lybra called, "Adele". This long dress pools at your feet, the skirt done in a subdued gray and black pattern, accented at the waist with a patent leather belt that comes with a HUD offering many color changes. The top is long-sleeved with a bateau neck in black and a drop dead sexy deep scooped out back. To me it's reminiscent of the hostess gowns that were so prevalent in the 1970's. Perfect for having friends over for Lunar Eclipses, bagels and lox. Throw in a poetry reading or book club meeting and you have a great reason to don "Adele". Highlighting the perfect neckline for jewelry is the "Dayana Pearl Necklace with Watch" by AvaWay as well as the "Dayana Pearl Necklace" (Short Version) for a layered effect. The pearls are strung in two different sizes and the longer necklace has a lovely watch pendant. With the two beautiful necklaces I'm wearing stunning earrings also by AvaWay which I snagged from the Gacha present at the Black Fair. These chandelier earrings have that rich look of estate jewelry. The short and sassy hairdo by Dura called, "47" is both sensual and chic. It allows the jewelry and low cut back of the dress to be shown off and let's face it, short hair done in that freshly tousled fingers through it way is always so sophisticated! My manicure is complements of Koffin Nails, called "French Manicure Black Tips" and is available at The Black Fair. Warm tones of gray and beige with a black tip make up this delightful set available for all major mesh bodies and hands. I'm delighted how coordinated they look with the dress.

Adele Black (Available at The Black Fair) Poses: Posesion Location: Ministry of Media Greetings Everyone! Esmeralda is a fictional character in Victor Hugo's 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. She is a beautiful French girl that constantly attracts men with her seductive dances, which of course eventually gets her into trouble. She does, however, also attract Quasimodo, the hunchback man that lives in the cathedral. He falls in love with her and attempts to protect her. Except for the Disney version the story does not have a happy ending but you have to admire Esmeralda for her beauty and resolution. She had fire and passion! This round of InspirationSL is dedicated to Esmeralda with many wonderful things. Opening on March 19th it will end on April 9th so be sure not to miss it. Also just in case you've heard anything different InspirationSL will not be going away. It will still be going strong as a quarterly event, bigger and better than ever! I've chosen to share several items with you from this fantastic event. The first is this fabulous skirt with waist wrap called, "Inez Skirt" by Spyralle. It comes in several different color versions, I'm wearing #3. It comes with appliers for glitch pants or system layer option. The skirts and waist wrap are prim and can be resized and adjusted. With it I'm wearing the "Esmeralda" top in purple by PinkRayne. This cropped tank features a corset front tie and comes in several colors. Both pieces are now available at InspirationSL. Next is the lovely "Esmeralda Jewelry" by Petit Chat. This set features a necklace, bracelet, earrings and two versions of anklets, one for flat feet and one for mid/high feet. The jewelry comes with HUDS for each piece allowing you to choose different glass and metal colors. It's available now at InspirationSL. I'm also wearing a fantastic headband by Petit Chat called, "Cameo". This headband comes with HUDS for several different color groups. You can choose the pieces on the band you wish to change separately. Easy to fit and adjust it will become a favorite I'm sure. It's available now at Fashion Dazzle. Around my waist is the "Dahlia Belly Hip Chain" by Beloved Jewelry. The large and accent stones can be changed for many options. The delicate double chain with jewel drops looks amazing against the skin and can be sized to wear round the waist or the hips. In the photos above you will also note I'm holding a tambourine for my gypsy dance. The "Esmeralda Tambourine" is by Lucky Night. It's part of the "Esmeralda Outfit". Both pieces are now available at this round of InspirationSL. A gypsy girl has to have dark wild ringlets that fall to her waist so she can drive men crazy. The hairdo called "Gypsy" by TuTy's Creations is perfect for the task. As I dance I'm sure men will notice the lovely manicure and pedicure on the tips of my fingers and toes. It's complements of Luna called, "Paisley" and can be found at InspirationSL. I've included a photo of the HUD so you can see the many color choices available to you with this set. The graceful poses I'm using for the photo shoot belong to Fly Lily. The furniture you see in the background is a set called, "Gypsy Corner" by Zen Creations. It features an attractive wall hanging, bookshelf with books, pillows, curios, rug, ottoman, plants, baskets, and hanging light. Within seconds you can have a cozy reading corner or one to dance in.
