Look No. 231: Livin' On The Edge

I don't know where I'm gonna go

But that don't matter at all

I'm gonna do it my way

And I don't change for no one

'Cause I'm livin' on the edge

And I got nothin' to lose.

Hello again my lovelies!

Before I begin discussing the outfit I'm wearing, I have some really exciting news to share with all of you. A new designer has joined Violette's Closet's lineup of awesome designers! Today I joined the ranks of Hush Skin's incredible team of bloggers! YAY! I'm so excited to be a part of that team and having been working hard for the past 6-7 weeks to earn a spot on her blogging team and it has paid off and I couldn't be happier.

This really cute outfit is a new release by prism and it's called Annaliese. It is a complete outfit that includes the hair, socks, boots and of course, the outfit.

The outfit is 100% mesh that comes packed with 5 standard mesh sizes. I am wearing this with my Maitreya mesh body; however, I highly suggest trying on the demo prior to purchase to ensure you are happy with how it fits.

The Annaliese also is available in green if red is not your color.

A couple weeks ago, I had showed you PosESioN's exclusive at Inspiration SL called the Selena Set. Today is the last day of Inspiration SL. The 3 poses I'm using in this post is from that 10-pose set. So if you like any, or all, of the poses, be sure to hurry over to Inspiration SL to pick it up.












Please be sure to check out Prism, PosESioN and Hush Skins inworld. Also, if you have space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups to take advantage of group gifts and be the first to know of new releases.

Until next time...happy shopping and happy Holidays!

It's in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

Hello again my lovelies! Today I'm going to show you MODA Designs' exclusive at the current round of PHAT Fashion Fair and show you a new release from Prism Designs.

I the hot strappy boots I'm wearing with my outfit is called Sakari Strapped Boots and it's MODA Design's exclusive at the current round of PHAT Fashion Fair. I absolutely love these boots!

They are made for Slink Physique/Hourglass and standard sizes. Feet aren't needed but they will fit Slink High feet. I am wearing this with my Maitreya mesh body using one of the standard sizes and just alpha'd out what I needed to.

Of course it comes with this amazing color/texture HUD so you can mix and match to your hearts' content. So hurry on over to PHAT Fashion Fair and pick yours up!

Now, let's talk about Prism Design's new outfit called Sienna. It is a 100 percent mesh with the exception of the leggings which has an applier for Maitreya's mesh body and a clothing layer for classic avatars.

What you can't see, because I chose to wear thigh high boots with this is where the legging ends and that stopping point is right below the knee.

As you can see from the photo to the right, it's a hooded sweater with  metal studs placed strategically on the hood, and the upper arms. It's really very cool. I love it!

It comes with this fabric HUD giving you 4 color options.

Of course I'm wearing a pair of Ikon's gorgeous Triumph Eyes. I just love them because I get both a mesh and system eyes option. I usually wear the mesh eyes because the HUD it comes with is fun to play with to change the look of the eyes by adding brightness or  glow or changing the eye whites from light to dark. There are 42 colors to choose from and even a free demo in the store for you to give them a try.

Finally, the skin I'm wearing today is from HUSH called Amber II. Each skin color comes with 4 makeup options; 6 brow colors; a set of eyes (both mesh and system); a set of eyelashes; 3 lip colors; an applier pack containing appliers for Baby Bump, Maitreya, Omega, Slink (body, hands and feet), and TMP; and there's a beauty box with various items in it as well. Really great deal. Definitely go check HUSH out if you're in the market for a new skin or if you're a skin collector like me.

Before I go, I should mention that the current round of the PHAT Fashion Fair ends on November 1st.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 181: Strut Your Stuff

"Everyday is a fashion show and the world is your runway."

~ Coco Chanel ~

Hello again! Today I bring you Prism Designs' new release that is showing  at Penumbra Fashion Week today at 12 Noon SLT.

This pretty cocktail dress is called Britta Gems. It is 100 percent mesh and comes packed with 5 standard mesh sizes.

This color HUD also comes with the dress so you get a total of 4 dress for the price of one. A you can see the colors offered are all beautiful, rich jewel tones.

The shoes I'm wearing are from MODA Designs. They accompany this dress perfectly. It will fit Slink High feet, Maitreya High feet and TMP Ouch (feet are not included). As I always recommend, be sure to try on the demo (demo costs 1L) prior to purchase.

As always, you get this amazing color/texture HUD that gives you 30 MODA custom colors to mix and match to your heart's content and you can change the metals between silver and gold.

The jewelry I'm wearing is by Chop Zuey. The bracelet and ring are sold separately but the necklace and earrings are sold together.

All this month, I have been promoting the latest release from Ikon called Triumph Eyes. The gorgeous shade I'm wearing is Tropics. I always wear the mesh version; however, when you buy these eyes, you also get a system eyes version if  you for some reason can't or don't want to wear the mesh version. You honestly cannot tell the difference between the two. The only difference is the mesh eyes comes with a HUD that will allow you to choose from regular or dark sclera (eye whites) textures and add fun FX like glow, full bright and flip. There is a free demo at the main store that you can try on to see if Ikon eyes are the ones for you.






Don't forget to check out Prism Designs and the many other designers at Penumbra Fashion Week. It will end on October 24th.

Until next time...happy shopping!
♥ Violette ♥

Look No. 157: Simply Elegant

"Elegance is not standing out, but being remembered."

~ Giorgio Armani ~

Hello again! I am pleased to announce that I have joined the blogging team for Moda Designs. I have worn Moda's shoes and jewelry in a large number of my posts so I'm very, very excited and proud about becoming one of their bloggers because I stand behind their product 100 percent.

In today's post want to show you a new release by Prism Designs. It's a beautiful, mesh, corset-style vest and skirt outfit called Sandra. It comes packaged with 5 standard sizes will wear well on mesh bodies provided  you make the appropriate adjustment and use the appropriate size. I do highly recommend you try on the demo prior to purchase. It comes with a texture HUD with gives you the option to change the look of the vest and skirt completely (see photo of HUD below).

The shoes and ring I'm wearing are both new releases from Moda Designs. If you are familiar with Moda, you'll know that most of what they sell comes with HUDS with custom colors and these shoes and ring both do. The shoes come with two pairs: one for Slink High Feet and another for TMP. Please try on the demo to make sure you are completely happy with the fit.

Until next time...happy shopping.

♥ Violette ♥

~ Anna Sui ~

Hello again! Today I'm going to show you a fabulous bikini and cover up from Prism Designs. The bikini has clothing layers for the default bodies and has appliers for Omega, Slink Physique, Maitreya Mesh Body and Belleza Mesh Body. The cover up is mesh that comes in the five standard mesh sizes. It's available in three beautiful color combinations: Beige/Black, Blue/Green and Pink/Seafoam.

There is a HUD for the mesh set that will allow you to choose from regular or dark sclera (eye whites) textures and add fun FX like Glow, Full Bright and Flip. If you can't make it to this months round of The Mens Dept, don't fear, the eyes will be sold at Ikon's main store starting July 1st.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 127: Say "Yes" To The Dress

"What is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it."

~ Yves Saint Laurent ~

Hello again! Today I want to show you a really fabulous dress by Prism Designs. The Kathryn Kilt Dress is a mesh mini dress that comes packaged with five standard mesh sizes and a fabric HUD that will give you a total of four gorgeous, colorful dresses (all show below). The dress isn't made for mesh bodies but I am wearing mine with my Maitreya mesh body. I did find there aren't enough alpha cuts on the top portion of the back so some skin will show through; however, I found if I wear it with long hair, it does cover it. But the dress is best worn with the default body using the alpha supplied with the dress.

Until next time...happy shopping!

♥ Violette ♥
