Jazz Diva

Think Billie, think Lena, think Ella... the current Singer Icon fair led to thoughts of the real Diva's that paved the way for so many of today's icons. Their timeless style and grace and incredible talent continues to inspire and they shouldn't be forgotten. 

I've tried to recreate that jazz diva feeling with ArisAris's new exuberant dress and BSD Design Studio's surreal abstract shoes from Shoetopia. My look is completed with a new shape from Baholi (all of Baholi's shapes are divas!) plus the latest gift skin from Deeesses and hair from Ploom.

Also featuring Lover Man Ravi on piano and modeling some great new releases available at Mens Dept until the end of the month.

Vegas Style

A few looks today mostly from Menswear Fashion Week, with a little Fantasy Faire thrown in for good measure. MWFW brings together a large number of designers focused on menswear with fashion shows and new releases for the event (ends Apr 27). The theme is Las Vegas this year, which means casual, stylish clothing with a rakish twist - like with SF Design's new Lounge Lizard jacket, which has a texture change hud with six cool motifs (sale price of just 100l for the duration of the event). I also quite like American Bazaar's open shirt/tee combination, available in various colors and with different tee options. It looks great with BeUp!'s new jeans and you'll feel like money wearing it.

Las Vegas is all about fantasy and 22769/Bauwerk's Royal Room skybox from Fantasy Faire would fit right in there. It's Mesh with marble texturing and has a master suite & main living area suitable for high rollers. You can check out 22769's numerous fashion releases for Fantasy Faire through the 28th.

Four Walls

For the decor fans there are really some amazing hunts at the moment. The Four Walls hunt brings SL's top designers offering up some excellent gifts that should fit well with your design schemes. Gifts cost 20l so you need to choose wisely. There are too many standouts to name them all, but some of my favorites shown below include a great dresser from Pilot, a cool lamp from Vespertine (one of three), Cheeky Pea's hockey items and a fun guitar prop/chair from Zinnias.

Two other furniture hunt options now underway are the Courtyard Hunt (Free) and Cold Winter Nights (10l) You can see previews of almost all the gifts on the various hunt websites. 

The avi shown below is from Peau and can be found for the super low price of 55l at this weeks Fi* Friday (ends sometime Wednesday).

Richmond (Part. 2)

Another round in the Richmond skybox from [Deco] available at Mens Dept this month (see part. 1 here), this time featuring an excellent new pool table from End of Daze among other things. And since billiards are best played à deux, some charming company was clearly in order. Of course, after breaking in the table, the evening progressed to other games...

Note that the female fashions are partly from the Golden Apple Hunt, which is a nice little hunt on the NYC sim with 12 pretty amazing gifts at a small price (ends Dec 24). Since this is a long post (after a long evening), I'll save some general views of the build/decor for a final wrap-up.

Baffled

Baffle is a great shop that is unfortunately closing in world and until November 11 everything is on sale for 55l. You can find an eclectic mix of pose props, decor and other items there, but the builds are truly special (see my Secret Garden post for another Baffle build I recently blogged).

Each design is totally unique and range from a domed floating home in the middle of the ocean, to a winter igloo complete with Polar bear or a creepy cottage with graveyard and hidden slaughter chamber. After rezzing them on the demo platform, I couldn't resist buying them all.

I've done some fashion shots below using Baffle's Le Petit Reve skybox from the sale, which is a fun approximation of a slightly grungy Paris apartment with some great texturing. See my next post for more shots of the build.

Also the November Mens Dept round has started with some cool items (including great Mesh pants from Credo and gO this round). Don't forget to check it out.

Edit Nov 15: Baffle is now closed so I have pulled the links.
