Look No. 128: Feel Beautiful...Look Beautiful

"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful."

~ Sophia Loren ~

Hello again! Today I am bringing a new release from Flippant called Downtown Complete Dress Outfit. It's a very pretty, mesh slip dress with a handkerchief skirt and a lace covering. It comes packaged with a color-change HUD giving you a choice of four colors to mix and match as you wish (see photograph below). Not only do you get the dress, but you will also get a sexy pair of black heels (for Slink High Feet only), two necklaces (a short pearl necklace and a long chain with a cameo pendant)  and two bracelets. It also comes packaged with five standard mesh sizes. For those of you with mesh bodies, I am wearing this dress, in the photographs below, with my Maitreya mesh body. I do suggest to try on the demo first to ensure a great fit.

If you have not heard of Flippant, I highly recommend checking out either her Marketplace store or the main store. Be sure to join the VIP group so you can take advantage of the group gifts that are offered.

Until next time...happy shopping!

"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!

Hello again! Today I bring you a new, very sexy, release from Cay Panana called High Waist Leggings Doreen. They are made for mesh bodies however, you can still wear it with the classic body. It comes with two versions: the full and naughty. Since I am on feeds that don't allow nudity, I decided to only show the full version but you can see the naughty version on Cay Panana's store blog or their Marketplace store. It comes with appliers for TMP, Slink and Omega; I am wearing this with my Maitreya mesh body. It comes in eight yummy colors (see photographs below) and each will cost you 99L but if you join Cay Panana's VIP group and purchase it at their main store, you can buy each pair at a discount.

Also, I want to introduce to you to a brand new skin by Sugarush called Mabel and boy is it beautiful. The skin is available in five tones: apricot, neutral, medium, beige and bronze. Each tone has six makeup options with a now brow option for all six. You can purchase appliers for the Maitreya and Lena mesh bodies as well as Slink hands and feet. Please be sure to visit Sugarush's main store and join their group. If you can't get inworld, you can visit their store blog or Marketplace store.

Look No. 113: Have You Heard Of Flippant?

"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air..."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Hello again! Yesterday on the Violette's Closet Facebook page, I announced my new sponsor...Flippant. Flippant is owned by Wistful Mactavish who not only makes great quality clothing that are of reasonable prices, she also makes a plethora of cool items such as tattoos, home accessories and wings.

The first outfit I want to show you is the sexy Buckle Up outfit that will surely keep you cool during the not summer months. It's a coordinated mesh bikini top and flirty mini skirt that comes complete with cork wedges, a belly ring and a color/texture HUD that will change the outfit, shoes and belly ring; giving you a total of four complete outfits (see photographs below). Both the skirt and top come in 5 standard sizes. The shoes are only for Slink High Feet; you must buy the feet separately from Slink.

If you have not heard of Flippant, I highly recommend checking out either her Marketplace store or the main store. Be sure to join the VIP group so you can take advantage of the group gifts that are offered.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Looks Nos 96 & 97: Denim Is A Way Of Life

"Give a girl the right jeans and she can conquer the world."

~ Unknown ~

Hello again! I'm back with several new items from one of my newest sponsors, I'pitemé. Toy Wiskee is the founder and designer of this wonderful little boutique. Not only does she design clothes, but she also designs shoes and furniture items as well. Now, for those of you who read my blog regularly, you know that I love great quality, great looking clothes that come packaged with color/texture HUDs and this is one of the reasons I love I'pitemé. The other reason is her pricing...you will always get amazing value.

For today's post, I have want to show you five new items that have just been released this past week in two casual outfits; do note, to save some time, I have kept the shoes, hair and jewelry the same for both.

All items are available on I'pitemé's Marketplace store; however, if you go to the main store and join the VIP group, you will receive a group discount that  you will not get on Marketplace. It is recommended that you try all the demos prior to purchase to ensure a great fit.

Look No. 96: Suede Fringe Halter and Skulls Distressed Jeans

In this first look, I am wearing a sexy Suede Fringe Halter top with some very cool Skull Distressed Jeans. The Suede Fringe Halter is a mesh tip and available in six mesh sizes and comes with a color HUD that will give you 16 gorgeous jewel tones to choose from. This top will fit most of the mesh bodies out there.

The Skulls Distressed Jeans is also mesh and is available in five sizes. If you're a rocker chick or like to sometimes bring out the rocker chick in you, these are the jeans for you. These jeans comes with a color HUD that give you 12 pretty colors to choose from. These jeans will fit most of the mesh bodies.

The sandals I'm wearing are also from I'pitemé. They work with Slink flat feet. In the package, you will get two versions of the sandals: one with an Ankle Lock and one without. You will also get a color HUD that gives you a choice of 15 colors for both the upper part of the sandals and the straps and 4 different metals for both the ring and the buckle that all change textures independently to mix or match...endless customization.

Look No. 83: The Little Black Dress

"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a little black dress."

~ Karl Lagerfeld ~

Hello again! Today I bring you a really cute, flirty mini dress from Cay Panana. It is the perfect party dress...especially if you like to show off your legs. It is a mesh dress and comes in the five standard mesh sizes; however, you should be able to wear it with  your mesh body. I am wearing this dress with my Maitreya Lara Mesh Body in the photographs below. Now, for those of you who read my blog regularly, you all know how I love clothes with color/texture HUDS. This dress has just that and it offers you 18 beautiful colors for the dress itself and 3 metal colors (silver, gold and black) for the metal accents down the front and the zipper in the back.

The heels I'm wearing are also from Cay Panana. This too comes with a HUD that offers you 44 colors and 11 patterns, ankle strap on or off, wear the shoes with or without the heel spikes and so much more. As you will see in the close-up photograph of the shoes below, you will see I chose to wear it with the ankle strap and spikes. Not only that, I chose a black and white pattern for the ankle strap and heel rather than the black leather of the body of the shoe.

Both the shoes and the dress can be purchased on Cay Panana's Marketplace store; however, if you join their group and purchase anything directly in their in-world store, you will get a group discount.

Until next time...happy shopping!
