HIGHLIFE SKINS FROM THE AMAZING FARRAH FOSTER

I met Farrah Foster in FB, she had called out for bloggers and I answered the call!  I love skins and it's been awhile since I've been in SL for more than a few minutes and there are so many incredible advances in the last year!

I went to Highlife and looked at the skins Farrah had ready and they were really lovely!  We talked for a bit and she TP'd me to see the newest one she was working on, it is truly stunning!  I am so pleased to be able to blog my favorite skin called Zivaah in all the gorgeous shades and I will show you her beautiful new skin called Farrah in Sunkissed.  I have listed the store link below.

Aside from the gorgeous skins Farrah has been creating she has completed the Slink Appliers for hands, for the skins she has currently available.

ZIVAAH SKIN FROM HIGHLIFE


LIGHT TONE:


I adore Zivaah!  The light tone has a little peach color to it and adds lovely highlights to the face and body adding a healthy glow.



I tried different hair colors with each shade and this shade was perfect with the ginger hair color, the make up matches too and the lipstick color can be worn with anything.  Farrah makes different lip colors too that you can buy separate from the skins.  My hair is from truth and the bikini is from *B.E.*

PALE:

The pale is a little darker, getting into that start of a beautiful summer tan, the shadowing in the skins is perfect, I love the look of that perfect bikini tummy!



I love the face on these skins, the eyebrows are so perfectly done, the shape is gorgeous and the coloring in the face is so lovely.  I made different shapes for each, that vary slightly just to show they look great with different hair colors and shapes!  Very versatile skins!  The hair is from Truth and the bikini is from MPD.

SUNKISSED:


Sunkissed, perfect summer tan, warm tones throughout the skin, with perfectly blended shadows. Again I went with truth hair, its one of my faves and the bikini is from FIRST LOOK.


Zivaah just radiates warmth, you can almost smell the coconut tanning oil!!!


TAN:


This was my favorite picture, the tan skin is such a sexy color!  There is something about a darker skin with a slight glow that is so irresistible!  Hair is from Truth and the bikini is from Trashy Girls.



Even in the darker tones you can see all the little details that are in the skin, like a slight copper highlight that works so beautifully with the shadowing! With light colored eyes the look is just drop dead gorgeous!

DARK:


The darkest shade is just a slightly darker color, with hints of mocha and lighter shading to give it a realistic look with a very slight shine.  I went with the truth hair again, a loosely up swept look with wisps falling to one side, and giving the face such a sexy look!  The bikini bottom is from Trashy Girls.


FARRAH - Sunkissed

I absolutely love this new skin from Farrah Foster of Highlife, the sunkissed is lovely and I had to show the whole skin, you have to see the amazing detail, the realism, shading, it is breathtaking so before you scroll down just be prepared that I am showing all of you how comfortable I feel in my skin and a hat!


I started from the backside to show you how beautiful the shading is, the shoulder blades, spine, bottom and legs.  I think this is a great modeling skin, you have so many choices of shapes you can use with it and it photographs beautifully!



So flawless, everything looks so real and would work with so many design choices.  I chose this fun beach hair from LOQ.  If you are looking for a unique new style, try Highlife skins with the applicators for Slink hands.




Blogging Once More!

I am returning to blogging after almost a year.  I am going to revamp the blog a bit and bring you some incredibly talented designers, some contests, hunts, photographers in SL that are just breathtaking and more, I really hope that you enjoy what will be coming and thank you to all of you who have stayed loyal and encouraged me to come back.  I hope to see a lot of new faces and please send comments of things you like and would like to see more of, I will do my best to incorporate what the readers would like to see.

I do this for the love of fashion, I see fashion as art and there are so many incredible designers in SL, it has come such a long way since I started in 2009.  I love to dress up in things that inspire me, make me feel great wearing and open up my creativity to express how it makes me feel.  Blogging helps me heal too, the end of 2011 and all of 2012 were very difficult for me in SL and RL.  I lost people and pets  in RL that were very close and the grief of having it all happen within a couple months of each other was almost to much for me to bare.  During that time a very close relationship of over 3 years was ended in SL and after that I was lost for awhile.  I had given up most of my modeling to have more time to devote to this relationship and in the end it was all for nothing as he moved on, he couldn't handle my grieving and had found someone new, oh and yeah, he forgot to tell me!  I'm sure we have all been there!  The pain of all of it, combined with illnesses took over and I had to take a break.

I feel ready to be back, I've missed blogging and everyone I have met in this process.  So I am ready to bring you my first blog of 2013, love to you all and thank you!

AZUL - FABULOUS AND IN DEMAND!

I came back to SL to some incredible gowns from Azul, all for the ladies of MVW and Miss Azul!  I don't know how one person can be so creative and make gowns for the same competition, that are different and unique but Mami does it and with flair!  These are just spectacular and the fun part is now we get to wear them as well! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/joia%20azul/128/128/28

JAHDE IN MANDARIN CREATED FOR MISS BRAZIL MVW 2012 MISS SAEED

This is my favorite new Azul gown!  I love the design, the strapless sweetheart neckline with the soft pleats, the slim fitting gown with the layers of sheer and satin Mandarin fabric that just flows like it is being orchestrated by a soft breeze, wrapping around the body and moving with such grace.  The floral accents on the shoulder, down the arm and waist, just add to the gown, highlighting the gorgeous color and drawing the eye to every element.  I really am never one for colors in this hue but as soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one for me.  I chose a lipstick in a soft pumpkin gloss, my hair in an up do to show off the dress in its vibrant, glorious style and that was it.  Beautiful!  Jahde is available in Mandarin, champagne, Jade, Garnet, Lavender, Sapphire, onyx and pearl, Also with the colorful flowers or black, white and pink.
 
 

ANGEL IN GARNET MADE FOR MISS ECUADOR MVW 2012
 
Another spectacular gown and a bright rich red!  I love the long fitted sleeves that flow into a red and black lace, that flairs at the elbow down to the mid palm.  The lovely low cut top that folds so elegantly, the fitted bodice and skirt that like the sleeves flairs out mid thigh with the red and black lace to about four inches from the bottom of the gown where you see the sheer and red satin come through again and delicately kiss the floor.
 
The back is very low cut and scoops elegantly at the derriere, the skirt fans out in the back in a feather like pattern with frayed edges that match the sleeves, tying in all the elements to make a stunning gown.  I chose diva lipstick from Glamorize to match, and elegant up do and Monica earrings in red from Mandala. Angel comes in garnet, amethyst, coral, onyx, jade, topaz and pearl.
 
 


DIAMOND GEM IN CHAMPAGNE MADE FOR MISS BRASIL MVW 2012 MISS CEARA
 
Mami chooses such lovely colors for her gowns, Champagne is one of my favorites, it's soft but still a color you can wear in the winter months and can also transition into the spring.  The skirt on this gown is so beautiful, it looks like a delicate hand fan, flowing out, cascading folds of champagne satin falling perfectly around you drawing the eye up to the fitted strapless gown with the chocolate and white sashes that wrap you in elegance.  I chose an up do from June wave, earrings and bracelet from AI that color change in vintage metals to match earthy colors.  My lipstick is from Glamorize in chocolate. Diamond Gem comes in champagne, Aqua, garnet, Mandarin, onyx, pearl, turquoise and morganite.
 
LIGIA IN LAVANDER MADE FOR MISS VENEZUELA MVW 2012
 
Walking away for a slight moment from the rich colors to this lovely pastel, Lavender is gorgeous for the spring, if we are thinking ahead to warmer months, this beautiful gown in lavender is just right.  The satin strapless bodice with a sheer sleeveless neck line and matching gloves, falls to a skirt that has the layers of feather like material with the tattered edges that is just breathtaking!  Giving and shabby elegant look that commands attention! The way this dress moves is out of this world and must be seen!  I for one am just enamored with Ligia! Ligia comes in Lavender, aqua, champagne, garnet, coral, onyx, pearl and peridot.
 


 
PONCHITUTI IN SAPPHIRE MADE FOR MISS AZUL 2011 PONCHITUTI BOUCHER
 
This gown is just wow! When I saw it I immediately thought of a vintage gown that was both elegant and daring.  I chose the Sapphire, as I love the rich color and the black feathered ornamental piece that adorns the top and falls at the hips, just gave me that in awe moment together.  The simple sapphire gown is so elegant with white lace trim on the bottom and matching sapphire gloves, just perfect to accentuate the top without adding to much flair to overstimulate the senses.
 
This dress is candy for a vintage lover like me, you can wear it with the gorgeous bodice or without, the lovely lace top gives just a simple, vintage look that is just as stunning, simple, elegant, gorgeous!  I accessorised with jewelry from alienbear, hair from Curio and lipstick from Glamorize. Ponchituti comes in sapphire, amethyst, coral, jade, onyx and topaz.

THE SPECTACULAR PURPLEMOON

I have been away from SL since the early summer months and wow I can say without a doubt, I have missed Purplemoon and the amazing designs created by Poulet Koenkamp.  I was so excited to return and see the brand new store, it is absolutely gorgeous, big, lots of space to wander and look at all the fabulous designs!  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Etherea/169/72/22  Go check it out today and take advantage of the 30% off sale to stock up on a lovely winter/spring wardrobe!  These are a few of my favorites for the upcoming holidays, so many parties to attend and you will look stunning in these gowns!

EDELWEISS GOWN - HOLIDAY ADDITION

Edelweiss is a PM classic and one of my favorite gowns!  This winter edition in the white is just astounding!  The gown is magical, it sparkles and shines, swaying and moving perfectly, the white satin and lovely sheer overlay that is cut like petals from the Edelweiss, compliment the stunning bodice and ornamental elements of the gown.
 
The stunning bodice and leaf like shoulders tie in the waist and hip design that looks like an upside down Edelweiss.  The gorgeous ornamental head piece with white and silver Edelweiss flowers add the finishing touch to this must have winter ballgown.  I dressed mine up with hair from Exile, and Tears Me Not in diamond, earrings and necklace from PM.
 
 
PAULA GOWN IN RUBY
 
I adore the colors for the fall and winter!  They are rich and vibrant and Paula in Ruby is extraordinary!  This gown is delicate with its luscious ruby satin and lace overlay.  The long lace sleeves and simple neckline, accented with lace at the hips and adorning the bottom of the skirt.  This romantic vintage style gown will make you the center of attention when you walk in the room and the only accessory you need is the perfect shade of lipstick to match. My hair is from Exile.
 
 
KELLY IN BORDEAUX
 
Another of my PM favorites, the vintage Kelly in Bordeaux.  I love the color, style, cut and design of this gown.  Honestly, one gown that will never go out of style!  It's sleek design with the slim belt ant the waist, the curve hugging gown that flairs with layers of  sheer Bordeaux silk at the bottom, the high shoulder pads and wispy silk, short sleeves.  I love the collar at the neckline which has 3 different choices, I chose the broach, there is also a button or just the collar. The long black silk gloves finish off this incredible gown and I added Tears Me Not Onyx earrings from PM and some burgundy lipstick from Glamorize to accessorise. 
 
 
LA MORTE DOUCE 
Yes Halloween is over but I had to blog this gown!  Morticia Addams eat your heart out!  This gown is drop dead gorgeous!  You would definitely been the Queen of the Underworld in this little number and if you didn't get a chance to grab it for Halloween, pick it up for next year!  I'm sure you could find occasion to wear it at anytime in SL, especially if you are a Vamp!  It's so sexy from the plunging neckline accented with a feather like collar cinched in and decorated with a skull, the super sleek skirt the falls to the ground in layers of pointed sheer black satin, the long , long sleeves compliment and there are long black nails that go with it too.  I accessorised with black lipstick from Glamorize, dark eyeliner from Blacklace, and a facial tattoo from White Widow.  My hair is from Fri.day.

THE FABULOUS HOUSE OF BENINGBOROUGH

BridgetMarlane wanted me to add a big thank you to Bliss Beningborough for her kindness.  Bridget was having trouble fitting an old Beningborough gown and had sent Bliss a note card asking her for a fitting.  Bliss replied back that she was so busy at this time she just couldn't do fittings.  She apologized profusely and sent Bridget one of her brand new gowns as an I'm sorry, thank you for understanding.

Customer service is so appreciated by all of us that frequent our favorite stores and designers, it really is understandable that time can not be taken to help with fittings as designers are so busy with seasonal lines, creating originals for contests, charity events etc.  To get back to us and explain and apologize is so so appreciated.  So Bliss thank you so much for your answer to Bridget's dilemma and for your selfless gift that just warmed her heart.

I am going to share a couple of my favorite Designs from House Of Beningborough, these are older designs, as you all know I love love vintage looks and HOB has some incredible vintage looks as well as High Fashion and Haute Couture pieces.  Don't laugh at the Avi, she, I, am ever evolving to look my very best and this was at the beginning of my modeling career!  I use to enter the weekly contests at HOB and they were so much fun, not only did it really help shape my abilities to style, I met some amazing ladies in the industry that will be friends and inspirations for life!


This incredible gown is called Lois, just a stunning gown, must be seen and worn to get the feel of this extraordinary vintage gown!

This is part of  the Ravi outfit, so fun and sexy!  You can use it in so many ways, go take a peek at HOB and see what you can find that inspires your creative side!
