What's up Doc'?
You know what i love with Faires and events which are gathering lots of designers ?
You always get to discover one you didn't know before.
Like me and Fierce. And let me tell you I am *very* happy I discovered it!

So follow the White Rabbit to Irving Penn sim.

Plenty of costumes are available at her store... Officer, Sailor style, Mime ... I've always had a soft spot for those ones.

And just look at the details of this one. Purrrfect !

And if you cannot decide.. call the Fashion Police !

PS: Mime and the White Rabbit are the FFL items. The others are extra sweeties!

Fashion For Life: Miamai

Miamai.. is it still needed to introduce it to you ?
I remember that I first met Monica when I was organising our Look What the Cat Brought Hunt and I just fell in love for her fashion style and taste.
Plus... she's a lovely lady !
So visit her store on Ansel Adams Sim at FFL !!

Left: Miamai - Sannah Steel * Right: Anita

Isn't it amazing how gracefull her creations are ? And sensual with a bit of provocation for the gentlemen's eyes !

Miamai - Mavi Rose

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw that dress is an old french song called Mon Truc en Plume (My Thing in Feather) and that was very provocative at the moment !

Well enough said, pay a visit to Monica and get some FFL items !

Fashion For Life: Epic

Epic is cute store, creating for you cute & fantasy designs. It's been long since I've blogged about them but here is a lookie at their FFL items

 First is Spiked Jumper Set. With this outfit, you can chose from different looks, but I must admit the sculpted shorts are an adorable look imho.

Second outfit I'm showing you from Epic is Skully Bow Turtleneck Romper, and if I had liked the sculpted short when trying on the first, I cannot begin to tell you how I have boucing around when I saw the kewt back of this outfit !
The bows on the outfits joined with the little hat, isn't it the cutest mischievious look ?

Then run and get your outfits at Epic on Irving Penn

Fashion for Life: BlackLace

Rose already showed you a little about it here but well.. I have a thing for lingerie in all worlds *grins*.
So ... no I won't show you any RL lingerie .. and no you won't meet me in SL hanging out in lingerie either, but since it's for a good cause (yeah what an excuse I know!) I'll show you how good BlackLace designs look !
I've been pondering a lot about the best way to model it and Harm gave me the idea, so anyone want a drink ?!

Flick Red Lace and Sheer Pinup Slip

Red, color of passion and Black for mystery, an explosive mix !

Cha Cha: Pinup Cherry Red & Black Girdle Set

More red, less black but still as much passion in the design !

Left: Unforgettable Black Velvet and White satin / Right: Cha Cha

A little look from behind on Cha Cha and the last but not the least, the most Unforgettable outfit !

And let's not forget about the best in those sets... let me introduce you ...

Fashion for Life: SySy

The lovely SySy Chapman is great and by great i mean GrrrRRRrrEEEeeeAAAaaTTTtt.
She has placed her store on Helmut sim and it's been a long time I hadn't see sober lines and designs mixed together into such a beautiful result like Leiya gown is.

The other dress is the hunt item, a real steal !

Fashion For Life: Kouse's Sanctum

What ? Thought I had forgotten you Kousey ? In your dreams yeah !
Kousey has her store out on Stieglitz sim, and gosh.. Lady Kouse, I bow in front of your talent !

As per usual, Kouse has made special editions of her designs in this dark, deep purple tint, dedicated to RFL.
First is Michelle gown, one very delicate dress with *bounces around* a lovely corset and a fine piece of jewelry attached to the bust part.

 

I matched it with the Lily set of Jewelry... also crafted by Kouse.

 

Then I found Faith... and I fell for it too !

Artemis is ... Artemis. I ran to buy my copy of it in the Sweet Grass color as soon as I got the notice from Kouse when it's been released, so you guess it made me the same effect when I saw the FFL version.

And finally comes Jocelyn, which is far from being your usual tavern wench ! That lady got some class so you better behave ! The FFL set comes with two skirts lenghts and two apron's colors! (red and purple)

Love you Kouse !

Fashion For Life : Calla

Morning you all! And before to go to the world-that-should-not-be-named *grins* let me show you what Calla created and is having out for Fashion For Life. You'll find her store on Arbus sim.

Left: Calla - New Dawn in Sunrise / Right: Calla - With Every Flutter in Gold

I love this fresh summery style and althought i tend to prefer classic colors, I do like this dress in a hot pink called New Dawn!

Left: Calla - Epiphany in Strawberry Flambe / Right: Calla - Beyond in Charcoal Plum

 The exact same way those long dresses are elegant and extremely flattering for a ladie's curves. Textures are well done and prim works carefully made.

Calla - Holey Wow in Black and White

And Holey Wow .. this one was hawt ! So I'll just let the pictures talk for themselves and see you all later !

Fashion for Life: Leezu

Knock Knock ????? All ready ?
Then let's visit Leezu on Helmut sim... and have a look at the FFL Item.

Leezu - A mon insu gown

Lizz Flexi Dress in Black and Grey

Catch Lily gown

I must say "A mon insu" gown really caught my heart. Not sure if it's due to its French name or the style of it but I loooooveed it !
The other dresses are cute as hell and spring-sexylicious so.. get yours now!

Fashion For Life: Evie's Closet and The Black Canary

If you ask me what my top 5 designers on SL are, I can already tell you that these two will be on the list. Apart from that, it's another of my super lazy days, and I'm not inspired with nice words... I guess it doesn't really matter, the pictures talk for themselves, right?

If anyone fits the "Beyond Black and White" theme of this year's FFL, it has to be Morrigan Denimore, the gentleman behind The Black Canary. I'm happy to show you 2 of his RFL donation items, that you'll find on the Mapplethorpe sim.

On Rose : Eternal Grace from The Black Canary, and Tessa hair from Magika

On Jake : Veil of Deceit from The Black Canary, hair from NSD and shoes from Duh!

In a completely different style, much more colorful but just as gorgeous, comes Evie's Closet. This year, Evie has put up 4 items for RFL, and of course they are all beautiful. They can be found on the Arbus sim. The fourth one is a very pretty flower wreath, not shown here.

Amarie's Bower (exclusive FFL color)

Milli (coconut ice)

Coppelia is one of her lastest designs, and come here in an exclusive yummy color, for 450l$ only (regular price 600l$) and all the proceeds got to the American Cancer Society. Hair is Ploom's Koneko.

Fashion For Life : Nicky Ree

And now ladies and gentlemen ... well considering what i'll be showing, mostly ladies I think but ... here's Nicky Ree !
If it's still needed to introduce her Nicky Ree is an awesomely talented designer and I think I've always known her since I'm in SL. I remember the first person to drag me over the store (so actually the one to blame for these years of drooling over Nicky's designs) is Shay, that you certainly know from her blog Shopping Therapy with Shay
So .. Nicky Ree is also taking part in Fashion For Life so make sure to visit her on Ansel Adams.

Nicky Ree - Exclusive FFL item - Mara in Black

Mara was first created in 2007 for RFL and since then she kept re-creating the design each year so we can every time find a new look of it, and so it is still a good reason to donate !
Note that set comes with a pants option but it's less my usual style and since I could not come to satisfying way of showing it, I prefered to let you discover it by yourself. In my opinion the skirts options are enough of a reason to buy the outfit but ...

Next come Tricia in Pink, coming too with a lot of options and different looks to try on. The Pink version is FFL item, it'll be released in other colors soon.
I've enjoyed those dresses because no matter what the dress is, i always feel like a star going down the red carpet.

And to conclude this post, here is one of the hunt items, Cassandra dress in Purple.
Cute too isn't it ?
* blows you a kiss and runs to RL world *
