-AZUL- recently released this beautiful dress that to me, just screams goth! I loved it the moment I saw it and I had to style it in my darker taste. Rather than going glam, I decided to push the boundaries and explore the different areas of goth. So I dared to take this dress into gothic lolita territory, but still kept it high fashion.-AZUL-'s Annette includes a rigged fitmesh dress in standard sizing as well as for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink, a pair of rigged mesh gloves in standard sizing, unrigged mesh collar with flexi feathers, and an unrigged fascinator/veil with flexi pieces. I styled it with Aii, The Ugly and The Beautiful's Monster girl hair, which gave it a factor of cute and effeminate, but still dark with beautifully curved horns. The Mosnter girl hair includes three horn colors (black, gold, silver), 3 sizes and an unrigged version that are all modify for easy customization. I decided to add in a pair of sheer lacetop stockings to break up the bare leg, and these fierce alien high heels from Blackburns. They're gorgeous and modify! For makeup I went with all Zibska, since her Tali Liners looked perfect with her Maudi eyeshadow behind them, and of course some jet black lipstick. When it came to taking pictures, I struggled finding a location, as nothing was sating me. So instead, I carefully put together my own set and made my own pose for the effect I desired.

Sadly, the Halloween season has come to a close, but my love for all things dark and spooky still thrives on ever stronger. Azul definitely celebrated the joy of the spooky spirit with creating her Julie gown! There is a limited edition Halloween version, but I actually opted to play with a different color. This pink for some reason just stood out to me with the vibrancy of the color. Azul's Julie gown includes a rigged mesh body suit and gloves (both in standard sizing), a pair of unrigged wings, flexi skirt pieces, a flexi skirt train, and a tiara. I decided to styling it using Finesmith's Hamara jewelry in silver, as to pull the white pearls of the tiara throughout the outfit. I felt that some sheer, lace top stockings would be appropriate here and really add an effeminate sense of sexy. I finished off the outfit with these sexy wrap heels, lucious lipstick, and dark smokey eyeshadow from Zibska. Zibska's Ricana lips includes 36 shades of lipstick, with LeLutka, TMP, and Catwa appliers. I've noticed that both the Azul and Zibska dark color palettes like to mesh well with each other. Last, I needed to look for the right hair. I had something on while styling, but it just wasn't quite right! Little Bones just so happened to have just what I was looking for out at Uber. Creme is a very soft, fluffy hair that just looked too perfect in my preferred shade of blonde; I have to say the new textures are absolutely gorgeous. Speaking of Little Bones, I was one of the lucky few that made it onto the waiting list; then yesterday I logged on to a big surprise. I had been invited to the official Little Bones blogging group! Needless to say I'm exciting and I cannot wait to create art with this masterfully crafted hair. From there I ended up making my own editorial pose and crafted my own scene.
