Whispers In The Dark

Fate has an interesting way of making things happen. In a turn of events, there was a designer at Penumbra Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015 that wasn't featured in blogging as much as they really should have been. I popped in to look at her items and was amazed, because they are a Gothic dream! La Nuit A Paris includes a rigged mesh dress in standard sizing, a rigged mesh jacket, rigged mesh leg warmers (all are Maitreya/slink compatible) and rigged mesh shoes for slink feet. Miss Anderian Sugarplum and I both instantly bought it in our favored colors, then thought, what if we blog it together? Needless to say I was excited, so we headed over to the photo platform to style. With a little hunting we each found perfect Gothic accessories that beautifully complimented this dress. Anderian styled this dress with a soft, wavy hairstyle that reminded me of the beautiful Dita Von Teese, dark lipstick, a detailed dark ring, blue tipped stiletto nails, pierced ears, and a necklace that is incredibly detailed, dark, and delicate. I love love love her style!! I went a bit more frilly with mine, using lacy wrist cuffs, leather pauldrons, my favorite Gothic cross collar, a lacy garter tattoo, dark cross stiletto nails, and sleek, raven black hair. For the shoot we headed over to one of the absolute best Gothic sims in SL, found the perfect spot, and let the shutters of our cameras do the rest of the talking!

Untouched

I never thought I'd say I'm sad it's Saturday. But I am, for it is the last day of the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015. There has been a plethora of amazing shows and fun festivities thus far, so it's time to go out with a bang! Why not drop by and join the fun? That and if you haven't dropped by to go shopping yet, you're about to seriously miss out.
I must say I'm loving blackLiquid's exclusive, which is a unisex outfit. It's a beautiful mix of soft and elegant, and definitely high fashion. It includes a rigged mesh bodysuit, tanktop, and pants that all come in standard sizing, as well as an unrigged hat, necklace, earrings, back piece, chest piece, shades, and cuffs. The bodysuit is very sleek, form fitting, with a nicely done loose fabric effect at the wrists and ankles. The unrigged pieces are very detailed, but no modify. However, they include a resize script that I found easy to use in fitting the pieces to my avatar. Overall I felt the outfit to be rather ethereal, so I styled my own take on it. I chose a soft pink eyeshadow from Zibska, my favorite eyeliner, face makings from Nunna that I tinted to match the eyeshadow, a shiny gloss from Blacklace, and glossy nails from A:S:S. I was happy with my style, though I decided not to use my normal blue eyes, but rather these pink ones to give a bit of a supernatural effect. PosESioN happened to have a pose with the perfect attitude and just what I was looking for!

Back To 1939

When the talented soul behind White Room Couture gave me the opportunity to blog some of her exclusives for the PENUMBRA A/W FW 2015, I was completely excited and honored! She created some amazing designs, but the one that really stood out to me was this colorful dress called 1939. 1939 is a rigged mesh dress that is no modify, comes in standard sizing, and include and alpha. I really loved the colors, style, and detailing of the dress I couldn't resist styling it. My dear friend Madeleine, who is a truly talented stylist, said that I should style it with true accuracy and authenticity. So with many hours of searching for all the right pieces and Maddy's valuable advice, I stepped right back in time, all the way to the 1930's! Yet again I made my own pose, because not much was pleasing me in achieving what I was going for. There's still time to drop by for shopping at the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015 if you haven't been yet, but don't daddle-- it ends on the 24th!

Between The Lines

I think it's safe to say every gothling has a soft spot for stripes, or at least I do, especially vertical stripes. Zibska released her Alise dress for the PENUMBRA AWFW 2015, and it made me positively scream in excitement! Alise is a floor-length rigged mesh gown in standard sizing, including an unrigged headpiece and bustle. I of course went with dark, beautiful makeup also from Zibska. For accessories, I went with this beautiful mesh necklace from Meva (which is high quality mesh, beautifully textured, detailed, and modify), a ribbon choker, and my favorite little birdie ring from Zibska. I very much like to keep my accessorizing more on the simple side, so that they eyes can easily travel over the entire photograph and see the beautiful details of the creations I am honored to showcase in my artwork. As for posing, yet again I created my own pose to capture what I envisioned.

I really cannot stress it enough that there are some seriously cool designs and creations out for the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015! If you haven't stopped by the retail area for some  shopping, you really need to. Seriously,

Resonance

The PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015 has officially begun! With it, it has brought some truly beautiful designs and fantastic live fashion shows, entertainment, and events. I was given the complete honor to be an official blogger and I can say I am completely blown away with the gorgeous designs I was able to play with. Meva's Pipes set includes a necklace and a pair of earrings of stunning quality of the mesh model, texturing, and it's modify! The tones came off as coppery with a bit of gold to me, so I decided to style in an elegant but very sexy style. Zibska's Fiachra set had these shoulder pieces, with the right color combination, were the perfect golden feather accent (that is also acting as a top). For the skirt, I went with a floor length, high-waist one from Peqe, which features a lovely mermaid skirt and a peplum. For makeup I went with a very, very neutral lipstick and a smokey black eyeshadow from Zibska. As for posing, I again created my own pose for the exact body language I desired.

Valkyr De Noir

It's getting closer and closer to the 17th and I absolutely cannot wait for PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015! I was given the great honor to be one of the official bloggers and boy can I say I am blown away with the amazing creations I get to feature in my work. I mean, just look at this avant garde outfit from Du Jour and tell me it's not fierce and sexy! (This outfit will be featured in the PENUMBRA finale show.) This was so up my alley of style that my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on it. Du Jour's Valkyra Dress includes a rigged mesh harness top, rigged panties, rigged bracers, and rigged skirt all in standard sizing, as well as an unrigged headpiece and chest accessory. The unrigged pieces are no modify, but I personally found them rather easy to fit and position. I decided to style this outfit with a long, beautiful hair from Fiore as to channel a little characteristic of the ancient Nordic Valkyries. For accessories I went with tall, black leather boots, long black gloves, and this beautiful mesh facial piece from The Forge. As for makeup, I went with an eyeliner from Nuuna that has always reminded me of avians in its shape, as well as an eye stripe to incorporate shape of the top into the upper portion of the avatar. The finishing touch was some stylized, matte black nail polish and I was ready to shoot. Once again, I made my own pose because I could not find one that was similar enough to what I envisioned.
