Look No. 247: Monuments Of Life

Our bones forever in stone

Monuments of life

To dust, as everything must

We fade away in time

~ Foo Fighters ~

Hello again my lovelies!

Today I'm back with a new release from Blasphemic. I also have a few new poses to show you from PosESioN. A couple of the poses are from a 10-pose set that's an exclusive at ON9 and the other pose is from a 10-pose jewelry set that you can pick up at their inworld store.

The dress I'm wearing is Blasphemic's newest release called Norma Jean Dress.

It is available in 7 colors: black, red, purple, white, gothico, blue and pink. I should also note that only the top of the dress carries the color; the skirt and belt remain black. Each color can be purchased separately or in a fatpack.

This dress is 100% fitted mesh and comes packed with 5 standard fitted mesh sizes and there are special fitted mesh sizes for Slink, Belleza and Maitreya mesh bodies.

As I always do, I highly recommend trying on the free demo prior to purchase so you are happy with the fit.

In this post, I'm wearing eyes from Ikon's Spectral Eyes collection. The particular color I'm wearing is called Passion.

The skin I'm wearing is Jasmine from Hush Skins; the skin tone is called Chai. For those of you with Lelutka or Catwa's mesh heads, you're in luck because this particular skin does come with those mesh head appliers and lip color as well.

Please be sure to check out Blasphemic, Ikon, Hush Skins and PosESioN both inworld and on Marketplace. If you have space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups to take advantage of group gifts and to be the first to know of all new releases and events they may be participating in.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Hello again my lovelies!

Before I get to today's post, I just want to introduce you all to IMaGE Factory. It's not a new store but they are new to Violette's Closet. IMaGE Factory is owned by Jessicaann Wrigglesworth who designs clothing, shoes and accessories for both men and women and she also makes full perm items as well. So I'm very excited to be working for her.

Ok, so if you like hunts, this will be the post for you because I have two hunt items to show you from IMaGE Factory and PosESioN. Both items are for the MENstuff Hunt that will begin tomorrow, January 15th.

The first hunt item is this amazing top that my handsome model, Roman, is wearing. It's from IMaGE Factory and it's called Tommy Hoodie Jacket Combo.

This hoodie/jacket combo is both 100 percent mesh and fitted mesh. It comes with 3 mesh sizes: small, medium and large. It also comes packed with 2 fitted mesh sizes: v1 and v2.

I have great news for guys who have the Slink Physique Male Mesh Body and the Niramyth Aesthetic Mesh Body. This hoodie/jacket will fit both wonderfully.

The Tommy Hoodie Jacket Combo also comes packed with this amazing color/texture HUD giving you 18 choices for the shirt, 16 choices for the hoodie and 12 choices for the leather jacket.

The pants I'm wearing are also from IMaGE Factory but they are not a hunt item for the MENstuff Hunt.

The pants are called Bro Jeans. They are 100% mesh and come packed with 5 standard sizes.

The Bro Jeans also comes packed with this color/texture HUD giving you 4 pants options, 2 belt options and silver and gold metal options.

Just something for you to note: Roman is wearing the Slink Physique Male Mesh Body and as you can see, it fits him perfectly. If you have any other male mesh body, I do suggest trying on the demo prior to purchase if you like these pants.

All the poses you see in this post is the second hunt item in the MENstuff Hunt and it's from PosESioN and it's called Ahn. This is a 5-pose set for men.

Roman is wearing eyes from Ikon's Triumph Eyes collection and the color is called Rustic.

As I said earlier, the MENstuff Hunt begins on January 15th and will run until February 29th. Be sure to make your way there and grab the hunt items from IMaGE Factory and PosESioN. For more information and hints for this hunt, please check out the MENstuff website.

Finally, please be sure to check out IMaGE Factory, PosESioN and Ikon both inworld and on Marketplace to see everything they have to offer. 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 about new releases and any events they may be participating in.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 244: The Place Where I Belong

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it

This brokenness inside me might start healing.

Out here it's like I'm someone else,

I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.

Won't take me nothing but a memory

From the house that built me.

Hello again my lovelies!

In this post, I'm going to bring you a new release by I'piteme, an exclusive from PosESioN at the current round of Swank and an updated release of MODA Design's sexy Tessa Thigh High Boots.

This really cute dress I'm wearing is a new release from I'piteme called Pat B. Dress. I have no clue who Pat B is so please don't message me on Facebook, or email me or IM me inworld and ask. LOL!

This dress is 100% mesh and comes packed with 5 standard mesh sizes plus special fitted mesh sizes for The Mesh Project, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza Isis/Venus/Freya and Maitreya Lara.

It also comes with this color HUD that allows you to change the colors of the dress, bra and belt. It also gives you the option to change the metal on the belt from silver to gold.

The boots I'm wearing are a previous release from MODA Designs that have been recently updated and they are called Tessa Thigh High Boots.

When these boots were initially released back in October, they were only made to fit Slink Physique, Maitreya Lara and Belleza Isis/Venus/Freya bodies. Well, since the release of Slink's Hourglass body, Eonla has decided to update the boots to also fit the Hourglass body.

These sexy boots come packaged with MODA's amazing color/texture HUD that gives you 30 MODA custom colors and 4 textures for the body of the boots and 4 textures for the heel.

If you already purchased these boots prior to the update and now have Slink's Hourglass body, please DO NOT repurchase these boots. All you need to do is head on over to MODA's inworld store and touch the redeliver terminal to pick up your updated version.

All the poses I'm using in this post are PosESioN's exclusive at the current round of Swank called Corina.

The Corina Set is a 10-pose set for ladies. If you don't want to purchase the whole set, you have the option to purchase each of the 10 poses separately if you choose.

Today I'm wearing a gorgeous pair of green eyes from Ikon's Triumph Eyes collection. This particular color I'm wearing is called, Field.

The beautiful tan skin I'm wearing is Hush Skin's latest release called Jasmine and the name of the skin tone is, Toffee.









Please be sure to check out I'piteme, MODA Designs, PosESioN, Ikon and Hush Skins  both inworld and on Marketplace to see all that they have to offer.
