Sweets for my Sweet Mr. X - IrrlSIStible @ Swank

The holidays are on us... and like some of you... I have been making my list and checking it twice...and oh yes indeed Mr. X is on it!   As a matter of fact, I have prepared a Sweet Holiday banquet for him to choose from....

Christmas Bakery Mesh Outfit and Dress is from IrrilSIStible... and it is just that.  This fun dress is a veritable buffet  replete with cupcakes, strawberry tarts, cookies, cream puffs, peppermint frosted donuts...candy canes... artfully placed on a beautiful revolving yes... a revolving table that even has little gifts and candles! This dress is so much fun to wear!

I love the fact that it also comes with a "sweet" hat of cupcakes, cookies and creme puffs, shoes with candy cane embellishments and a cute  cupcake holiday necklace.... the only thing missing is the delicious smell of these baked goods... but, I have have a good imagination!

Another festive find from IrrlSIStible is the Magic Christmas Gown -- a evergreen tree dress with gold lame bodice and all the holiday fixings - garland, bows, ornaments, lights... even a Christmas Tree hat and a mistletoe  corsage... everything to  turn Mr. Scrooge into Mr. X!

Mr. X and Delypop - New Jumo

Sometimes dreaming is good... a release of sorts... a time for the mind to wander randomly... a time for reflection... a time to explore a fabulously whimsical sim called Outer Garden... I really cannot wait to show Mr. X all its nooks and crannies. 

Delypop, a new couture gown by Jumo is a dream...it is a long sleek fitting silk gown made for mesh and classic bodies.  I love the couture waistline feature that gracefully feathers out on each side of the waistline complementing the mermaid skirt that flares out dramatically -- you will make a grand entrance wearing this  luxurious gown. The halter styled bodice is heavily jeweled in a lovely arabesque pattern that dazzles.



As with all of Jumo's gowns, Delypop comes loaded with the most beautiful jewelry. The large bejeweled cuff bracelet is something an empress would wear!   I love the great square earrings but most of all I love the head jewelry that reminds me of a classic Medieval jeweled hat a maid would wear...only this piece is absolutely opulent and adds immeasurably to the couture look of this gown.

Mr. X and the Ranger of Islavare Dress Set *New* Silvan Moon

I follow my faithful Ariel... the Sprite of the frozen forest... she knows the way... wandering amid magical unicorns... so pure and beautiful... through tall evergreens glazed with a majestic mantle of snow that remind me of queens wrapped in white fur wraps  --  the trees shadow azure pools of frozen water... we look for footprints.

We look for him in this snow covered land under the pale winter moon of December -- I  wonder if we shall find what we seek... the secret garden... suddenly my ears... hear the far off tinkling of bells... like a spring rainfall... oh how I long for spring...

On the hunt in this frozen landscape... remembering when we danced under the harvest moon... my head was full of rainbows then... from too much pixie dust... the mist of fairy matter...

I cannot think of a better outfit to hunt in than this gorgeous tunic made of rich emerald velvet and edged with olive silk ruffles at the hem and embellished by the finest leather edging and rich gold brocade embroidery at each sleeve and at my neckline.  My cloak made of  the finest velvet is lined with ermine to keep me warm...it can be taken on or off.  The Ranger of Islavare Dress Set is made for classic and all mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara with it.  Ah, here is the gate to the garden...shall I enter ?

Mr. X and Evangeline *NEW* !!SMD!! @ White Armoury

Evangeline make your own magic  this is what the wise Grand  Dutchess told me... Men will write poetry about you once you have unleashed your magic Evangeline... listen to the the wind in the trees... watch the glimmering stars and shooting comets... you will know what to do.... and, then, “Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” 

Yes... I thought as I put on my coat of rich purple velvet -- yes, the power of purple stirs a creative spirit deep within me.  This coat is luxurious in rich crushed velvet accented with a rich gold  and purple brocade collar. I love the tucked in waistline of this coat and the gold button loops. Completing the look of this coat is the lavish gold floral embroidery that lines the hem ... protecting me like the lavender twilight embraces the dark legions of nightfall...

The gown is fit for a queen and is made from a deep rich purple and gold satin brocade that shimmers in the light with its exquisite texture.  It  is soft against my skin.  I love the sweetheart neckline that is delicately trimmed with black lace... adding dimension to this beautiful gown.

The crowning glory of this outfit is the lovely box shaped hat that comes with it made of royal purple and gold silk brocade  embellished with the finest purple felt... it even has a bow and gold flower that picks up the floral print in the gown adding another dimension of style and flair to Evangeline.  I also love the detail of the  split sleeves of this gown that peek out from the coat... showing off more opulent embroidery... it is pure magic!

"Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted. If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters, returning Back to their springs, like the rain, still fill them full of refreshment; That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain."

Mr. X and Grace... Ghee @ Winter Showcase & Art Show Team Diabetes of SL

Ghee is participating in Team Diabetes of Second Life through December 18 in the 2016 Winter Showcase and Art Show! This event includes live djs, performers, tribute concerts, 2 hunts, photos with Santa, ice skating, ice fishing, fundraising and more! Ghee has a shop there where they are giving 100% of proceeds to Team Diabetes for the the Grace Gown.

Grace Gown is a classic ball gown with a cascading satin ball skirt that drapes magnificently. I love this gown in mustard gold -- it is as opulent in this color as a christmas ornament.  The hemline and drape of this gown is sure to have all eyes on you because it is downright glamorous!  I love the sleeveless bodice of Grace with its intricate pattern of  gold and black lace that spells magic!

For the holidays, Grace Aurora... is perfect.  It is crimson at it's best!  I can imagine that I am on the arm of Mr. X entering the Ostankino Palaces Opera House with its gilded hallways filled with art and antiques...gold, mirrors, paintings, vases, statues, marble and me in this red bejeweled gown that glimmers in the crystal lighting of the chandeliers. Let's talk glam!

Also available for purchase is the Gabriella dress  and matching platform shoes.  This is defined by a fancy ruffle skirt on a very sleek cocktail dress with the same elegant bodice as the gown... it is flirty and sexy at the same time and if you are not fond of ball gowns, then this is a must have festive frock for the season!

Ghee is a collaboration between Warm Clarity, a real world artist, and SL Top Model Beatrice Serendipity.  Stylish, elegant and wearable fashion, in unique textures and colors inspired by art, nature, and fine textiles is what Ghee is all about. We enjoy creating whole collections, with lots of options for mixing and matching, with co-ordinated accessories.

A trio of finds @ Swank from landscaping to a dress

I told Mr. X that I adore winter... when nature paints the landscape with so many beautiful white textures... I love the way the snow covers the landscape and how it covers rocks and leaves... how it sticks to the branches of trees... creating a wonderful fairytale landscape to explore...

I found some terrific landscaping low prim items at this month's Swank event perfect for winter landscaping such as TM Creation's Winter Snowy Rocks Plants arrangement that contains a winter scene placed on snow with rocks, plants and pine trees - it even comes with a bonus with winter ground cover pine leaves. This is a total of 5 prims and can be used linked or unlinked and is copy.

Another find created by TM Creation is the winter snowy fairytale tree (2 prims) with Ivy ground cover. (1 prim) You can decorate it (or not) and also create a step to walk on with the leaf ground cover option or you can create a shadow. This tree is just gorgeous and it is really hard to believe that it is only TWO prims!

I just can't wait to cuddle with Mr. X by the Winter Well by Outside the Box, another great landscaping find at Swank.  This cute well comes with 8 cuddle poses and even a sequence option... it is a perfect place for a winter cuddle with a sweet little racoon, a bright red cardinal and snow covered pine tree that completes the scene.

I am wearing another fabulous find at Swank by Pink Ice called Bianca. It comes for all mesh bodies and is beautifully textured with an elaborate sequin pattern making this outfit perfectly festive.  I love the lace up back on top of this dress giving it added sexy appeal!  Bianca comes in a myriad of attractive colors from red and silver to pink, salmon, blue, black and many more.

Mr. X and Cici & Cathil - Swank Sascha's Designs and J&W Jewelers

Sascha is an icon in SL and she has designed two fabulous gowns for the holiday season... the first is called  Cici it is elegance in motion -- sparkles galore... and Mr. X loves that. Cici  comes fit for several mesh bodies - freya, isis, slink, venus and with some adjustments I am wearing it with my Maitreya Lara body... and loving it!

As with all of Sascha's Gowns,  you can wear Cici with or without flexi additions on arms,  waist and legs... anyway that you decide to  wear this elegant holiday gown... you will be the life of the party because you will be glowing... almost as much as the man you are with... oh  la la... so says, my beloved Mr. X.....

Sascha also has a exclusive @ Swank for the month of  December  called Cathil Silver/Red Gown... it is beyond  festive!  It is elegant and eye catching in  a silver white tone embellished with a rich floral border in red... it flows like a  beautiful  snowflake at sunset drop dead red on a silver white  horizon and it is simply gorgeous and easy to wear-- it is 50% mesh so everyone can wear it and it has tons of seductive flexi prims....the choice is yours... sleek or cape -- or mermaid or flowing gown...

I love the delicate Battenburg Lace at the hemline and the  sleeves... along with the  belt at the waist that  makes me totally an hourglass  figure. Cathil Silver is 50% mesh and comes in  5 sizes along with flexi prim additions... and also can be worn with Lara Maitreya.

What makes Cathil Silver/Red , the exclusive @ Swank distinctive it s the cowl neckline and the gorgeous white mantel that is both mysterious and seductive... Mr. X loves that.  I am also wearing irresistible  jewelry from  J&W Jewelers the Winter Wonderland Collection  --  I am wearing the cute Candykane Necklace and Earrings... who can resist that!

Mr. X and New Ghee - Slouchy Sweater Dress @ Frozen Fair

I told Mr. X there is nothing more cozy than a sweater dress... and Ghee has a gorgeous version of a sweater dress that is an exclusive at the Frozen Fair through December 16.  A sweater dress is basically a longer version of a pull over sweater that typically ends just at the knee...a versatile length that flatters all figures. Best of all the new dress features at Frozen Fair by Ghee is only 99L -- it is half off... and my advice is to go and get it!

I am wearing this mesh sweater dress in  medium... it comes in five sizes and is a bit oversized making it super comfortable.  You can also wear it with  jeans and tall boots or ankle boots... this is so versatile.  The cowl neckline is what makes the Slouchy Sweater Dress a standout.  Cowl necklines are all the rage on winter sweaters --- not only are they stylish but they keep you warm in the cold weather by providing an extra layer of insulation!

Although you can wear a sweater dress many ways, I love pairing the Slouchy Sweater Dress  with the matching leggings sold by Ghee and the gorgeous must have shearling lace up ankle boots that are made for slink and maitreya feet.  I love the way the boots lace up and the cute shearling or sheepskin fold around the top of the boot adding a definite fashion edge to this boot.

The Slouchy Sweater Dress comes in  Clay (worn... I love these colors as they remind me of a warm fire brightening a cold winter's night), river, shark, charcoal, orchid and taupe. The leggings and boots are sold separately and perfect inventory items to mix and match a variety of looks with.  I am in total love with the boots ! So Mr. X, please go to the wine bookcase and...let's crack open a bottle!

Mr. X and Lily and the Magic of Unicorns - *New* Wicca's Wardrobe

Finally I found them...while yet the morning star glowed on the distant horizon...a unicorn... whiter than the blossom of a thorn... silver pale in the silver pale light of dawn... I told Mr. X that all that lives of legends, beauty and magic... mystery, gentleness and purity can be found in his eyes.

And speaking of a find, I have discovered a fabulous new mini dress by Wicca's Wardrobe called Lily Dress Ice.  I love the  double tiered cascading layers of the skirt with their bows as accents. The piping down the front of the dress and at the waistline forms decorative diamonds that adds dimension to this flirty dress.  The corset like bare shoulder bodice is beautifully shaped with princess seams that cannot help but flatter you.

 Most of all, I love the color of Lily Dress Ice... it is a soft, elegant silver ..reminding me of  the magical afternoon I spent conversing with unicorns... something every princess dreams of doing...And, now each night I dream of unicorns flitting through the rising mist -- sleek and slender, smooth and swift. Drop into the shop they are running the monthly midnight madness this weekend!

Lily also comes in Winter.  In this version of Lily the skirt layer is accented in a gorgeous blue that reminds me of ice crystals reflected in a bright blue winter sky just after a snowfall. The bodice has a delicate snowflake pattern that blends beautifully with the tiers of the skirt.  It will make you warm up to winter for sure !

Mr. X & Miss Darcey - Winter of Love @ Swank and Heart Homes

I love Christmas and presents!  Mr. X knows this and tells me that Christmas is everyday for me... as he showers me with gifts... and his undying love... year-round!  Miss Darcy has created the coolest creation yet at the December Swank... on till the end of December.  This ensemble called Winter of Love is sure to keep you cosy! I love sitting under this new Christmas Tree for Couples by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes.... it is filled with presents and goodies!

I really love this exclusive @ Swank by Miss Darcey it has all my favorite colors.  I find this kimono style floral jacket so stylish especially when it is paired them with skin tight jeans worn perfectly faded jeans that pick up all the colors in the jacket.

Most of all I love the lavish orange (my fav color) fur collar and the arm warmers that are trending now... Winter of Love by Miss Darcey is sure to make you warm up to winter... all winter long!  It is available now, exclusively @ Swank! As an aside, the lamp that comes with the Sparkling Holiday set is so like my lamps in real life reminds me of a  Christopher Spitzmiller... lamp... they are gorgeous and this modern lamp is too.

Aphrodite @ Heart Homes @ RFL Christmas Expo

Heart Homes is participating in this years Christmas Expo @ RFL and a visit to their store will put you in the holiday mood for sure. I found one of the most elegant sets ever called Sparkling Holidays there that is a perfect living room set that is made in a gorgeous red silk that is embellished by decorative pillows.

The sofa of this set comes loaded with 89 animations and ten props; each chair with its graceful legs and arms has 23 solo animations and 9 props. The chandelier sparkles... it is really gorgeous and you can turn the lights on and off. There is an elegant coffee table with a beautiful arrangement and again, you can turn the candles on and off. The set is completes with a silvery rug and a planter.

"Sparkling Holidays" from Aphrodite is made for a couples and has many poses plus a new "Experiences feature like eating popcorn while watching a movie... and popcorn is our very favorite thing!

Another experience is eating strawberries... there is nothing like fresh fruit on a cold winter day to remind you of the warmer months!

Heart Home Vendors at RFL Christmas Expo offer the perfect items for holiday decor for your home with 100% of your purchase going to RFL.  There is even a free gift at the store at RFL.
