Designs by Sebastian, DbS, Jewelry in SL

Hi readers,

Yes, I know it's been awhile. I've been busy practicing photography and I've been kept busy with a few projects both in RL and SL. I'm back for a bit.

I'm starting to do serious fashion blogging. I met Sebastian Dionysus during FFL 2013 and he kindly asked me to blog some of his creations. He is the creator of Designs by Sebastians or Dbs. So this is the start of my blogging about fashion.



This first set is called Amethyst Grace. It is a set of dangle earrings with a matching necklace. The amethyst is matched well with the delicate diamonds. Each piece is set individually and by hand.


My second item on display is a necklace called White Gold. Included is a long or short version. I chose to wear both so you can see the difference in length. White Gold is a pearl necklace with gold beads. I turned off full bright so you can see the pearl texture better.


That's it for now!

A Rebel in Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

Hello, hello!

I am back for yet another post on FFL 2013. Looking for another outfit to model, I came across an outfit from [R] Allure. Below is a picture of Rebel Denim jeans with cutoffs. It also comes with the bikini top, very cool. My location is atop the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus by Kaya Angel.



Outfit: [R] Allure Rebel Denim jeans with blue bikini top FFL
Skin: [ROCKBERRY] Paige Tan Skin Fair
Hair: Vixen Treasure discontinued

Here's a closeup look of the skin taken inside the Mausoleum.




On to the next ensemble and to a different sim I travelled...


This daring silk set is *Songfeather* Sylph Silver. It has two collars. One is scripted and one is not. That is a nice option for those that role play.

Where am I standing? I am near the top of Bryn Oh's Lighthouse of Alexandria.


I am now at the very top. That is me standing by the bunny figure.

Your ride is here. So come visit now!

Have  fun and enjoy the art!

!Lyrical B!zarre, Lazuri, and Mirror Enigma...

Hello everyone!

My first ensemble is a passionate red dress from !Lyrical B!zarre Templates!, Droplet. Skin is Medow from Mirror Enigma, a preview from Skin Fair. Tone is in light. The golden brown eyes and delicate shape are included. One of my friends even said that Medow is hotter than my usual skin. I'm not sure if I should feel flattered or offended lol. I love my usual skin. Anyhow, it's a great skin. Jewelry is Lazuri The Avenue Spring Pastels. The jewels are color changeable and resizeable. Just touch for the menu. The hair is from Dura. It is a cute updo with color change headband that brings the attention to the face.

This lingerie set is from Blacklace, one of the new releases that I bought from marketplace, Kirsty set. I was wearing it under the Droplet gown. This time, the jewelry is from Designs by Sebastian, the Babylon 2 & Autumn Sun collection. My favorite piece is the necklace.

All right, so the sim I am at is the Colossus of Rhodes by Rebeca Bashly. I am standing on his shoulder, right by his ear. I'm the tiny peach dot by his helmet tail. Lol. It is huge. The detail is so good. Rebeca Bashly did an amazing job on the Colossus!



The next set is Mirror Enigma Medow in Ebony. For this, I tried to create a more exotic look. I chose Vintuition Malika Modesty. It's a very intriguing look.


This mysterious woman poses outside nexuno Thespian's Temple of Artemis at Epheseus. His latest creation is absolutely stunning!

On the next photo, I removed the veil and am just wearing the hijab so you can see the face.


The eye makeup looks great and the lip color looks well-blended.

FFL 2013, Tokyo Girl, Skin Fair 2013

Hello again!

I have some more designs for you. And......

Skin Fair is starting soon! I got some review copies! Skin Fair opens March 14th! It's so exciting!

I approached the designer and creator of Tokyo Girl, Circe Ishtari. It  was great to finally meet her. Her skins are so realistic and I love the detail in her skins.

The first skin I'm modelling is Tokyo Girl Amelia in tan.

Skin: Tokyo Girl tanned
Eyes: ES5 Pearl Black
Dress: Kunglers Tufi dress in Emerald for FFL
Jewelry: Virtual Impressions Trisha in gold and diamonds for FFL
Shoes: :::Schoen::: Studded heels for FFL limited edition



These two are taken at the Statue of Zeus at Olympia sim. The build was done by Karlinjames Zepp. I used different windlights to enhance the feel of them. It's a beautiful place.


This one was taken at The Hanging Gardens of Babylon sim built by Patch Thibaud. I did some heavier editing in GIMP. The view here is breathtaking.

This next skin is Miru also by Tokyo Girl and it's in natural. I took this one near the entrance of the Hanging Gardens.


Dress: Earth & Sky Designs Satin in the Night
Eyes: Tokyo Girl Spirit Grey
Necklace: ::Krystal:: Serene
Hair: Exile Eva


Those are the skins from Tokyo Girl at Skin Fair this year and a look at some of the outfits at FFL 2013. Hope you liked them!

A third look at FFL 2013

Hello fashion bloggers and shopping lovers!

My first item for this post about FFL 2013 is a deep,  royal blue plunge neck dress. It is mesh. See my photo below.

Dress: Just Darling Tessa
Shoes: *GF* wedge pumps in beige
:Jewelry: ::Krystal::: Claire
Hair: EMO-TIONS Semiramis

::Just Darling:: Tessa mesh dress in blue

I love how it clings and drapes against the body. It is mesh. Again, I am wearing Gfields, except the Adele pumps are in beige.  The jewelry is by :::Krystal:::, it is the Claire earring and necklace set. Below is a better picture of Claire.


The set looks so delicate and I think the purple goes well with the blue dress.

Next up is a deep purple dress from Kouse Sanctum, or K~*~S. The gown is called Breeze. It is not mesh.
Pose: Possesion Spanish set 9. This dress is great for role play or for dancing with. The detail on the bodice is just stunning. The jewelry looks delicate and goes well with the dress.

Jewelry: Lazuri Princess of the Forest



For my next look I went casual. It is a mesh pant suit from AvaGirl.

Pant suit: AvaGirl Nena in black
Jewelry: Lazuri Princess of the Forest


A few people have complimented me on it. It fits well and it looks great.

The next outfit I chose is bright. I hope it doesn't look too overpowering. I put together bright pinks with red.


Mesh pant set: Bohoish
Pose: PoseSion Spanish 10
Shoes: Bliensen + MaiTai Corazon pumps magenta
Jewlery Eclectica Bibelot Fuschia & Gold
Hair: EMO-TIONS Claire gift hair in red

For this photo, I am in Madrid Solo's stall in Thoth Jantzen's Pyramid of Giza. Madrid Solo has outstanding makeup!

Outside Pyramid of Giza
This is a daring shot. I'm near one of the braziers, several meters above the entrance. Don't come up if you're afraid of falling! I intensified the color of the flame, in case you're wondering.

So that's my third look at FFL 2013. More to come!

Have fun and enjoy the art!
