I’ve already had the pleasure to blog several outfits from Sascha’s Designs but every chance I have to get a new item from the store, I continue being amazed at the detail put in each piece, at the versatility of each design, at the  flowing flexi prims introduced in each creation and at the originality of textures and patterns.

The gown I show today to  you it’s not the exception:

sascognacbattleshipskirt

Novice is truly a breath-taking design, the bodice hugs your body tight and caresses your skin softly, showing your feminine attributes, making you feel secure and seductive at the same time.

The sequined pattern and the embroidery all over the dress adds a sparkly touch assuring you would not go unnoticed wherever you go wearing it.

The long sexy gloves wrap your arms tightly, adding an extra spicy touch to this fabulous design.

The variety of skirts included with the outfit covers any special occasions available to go with this magnificent dress, being a formal ball, a shopping ride, or a cocktail party, wearing the  short system skirt allowing you to show your sexy long legs and adding an extra shine to your look by wearing the sculpted train ;)

Novice comes in several colors for you to choose your favorite: sun, seagreen, magenta, royal blue, gold,lavender, aqua, silver, magnificent red, babyblue, rose and cognac (worn).

Baby, It’s Cold Outside.

Posted in OFA Models, Opium Fashion Agency, Opium Insight, Reviews on November 11, 2009 by pumpkinsaenz

Just in time for the cooling temperatures, I’ve noticed several designers bringing out new winter attire and getting ready for the holidays, which to me means bundling up. Though I live in Texas (in real life), it does happen to get cold over here every so often!

 

With that said, today I will be showing off a lovely white coat from Miss Inga Wind, owner of Inga Wind Creations. If you’ve never been to her store before, now is a prime opportunity to do so, since she offers so many cute outfits. The Angelique coat and hat (in white) that I’m showing is cute, sassy and sexy.

 

 

'Angelique' by Inga Wind

 

I paired it with the velor slacks from Zaara along with some Bax Coen boots (not shown) for an edgier look, which I think meshes well together. The combination of the softness of the jacket along with the sexy tight pants and the almost dangerous look of the high heeled boots make for a dynamic look.

 

 

Ready for winter.

 

 

 

The jacket and hat combo is currently $400L and comes in three additional colors: black, red and beige.

Girls.. Ya gotta know when it’s time to turn the page..

When ..your only wet..

Because of the rain… *Tori Amos*

Every finger in the room
Is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now
I’ve been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim

The Beautiful... Tori Amos

Tori… Wow..where do I start.  Ecclectic, Intelligent, Daring, Brave… just a few adjectives that describe the music icon.  Very rare is it a artist sounds as good or better live.. then they do on the records. Tori speaks of issues we have as being women. She Empowers us.. giving us hope. all with that amazing beautful voice.. a voice you can pick out in a crowd of hundreds.

My Favorite Tori Amos song is…

Northern Lad

Had a northern lad
Well not exactly had
He moved like the sunset
God who painted that
First he love my accent
How his knees could bend
I thought we’d be ok
Me and my molasses
But I feel someting is wrong
But I fell this cake just isn’t done
Don’t say that you Don’t
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls you’ve got to know
When it’s time to turn the page
When you’re only wet
Because of the rain

amos-1

I won’t push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don’t mind
I don’t hold on
To the tail of your kite
I’m not like the girls that you’ve known
But I believe I’m worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Haute Love….

While  through the back of my wardrobe, yes its starting to feel like the wardrobe out of  ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’.  Except there is no crispy snow at the back of it.

This outfit called ‘ON Harajuku Punk Furs Vibrant Teal and you can pick it up at Ookami Ningen. I brought this because i liked,  not that i have had the opportunity to wear it yet. I wanted something different and i think this is completely opposite to what i would normally be seen in.  And the people who know me well,  know im a  black wearing goth type when im not working.

Snapshot_002

The top and leg warmers are feathered textured design, which flows when with the slightest movement. The skirt is a simple little tantan designed mini, simple but perfect for this paticular outfit. On the top of the leg warmers and skirt there is a ribbon added for extra detail, all with a little clasp.

Snapshot_004Snapshot_005

I added Bax white boots, Zanzo skin and eyes ( and yes the skin is really that pale :) ) and top it off with hair from MIRAI STYLE.

Beautifully sculpted into a rose formation with added detail of black netting and tiny square and circle prims.

The Contessa dei Sogni – Nero, made by Mohna Lisa Couture.

On the first view a simple pretty dress…but lets take a closer look!

Amazing embroideries decorate a top that covers only what it has to and gives a nice peek on a amazing fashionistas decollete! A sweet ring holds the two cups of the bra together.
The top it self is not only a plain black shirt..no it is wrapped round your upper body and shows  your back as a pretty one ;-) A sweet transparent long scarf roundes the neck and caresses down your back.
If you move your eyes down further a bit you can see a very nice detail: The skirt is closed by a wonderful gem…really an eyecatcher.
A high slitskirt completes that amazing dress and makes it overall to a very sexy accessoire that should not be missing in a sexy lady’s wardrobe!

Spotlight On SL Top Designers

Posted in Fund Raising, Opium Fashion Agency on November 10, 2009 by darkevilonedemonia

spot light

Last week i was given a lovely jewellery set from this weeks Spotlight designers.  After my first reaction of wow this is stunning, i wondered if it was going to be too over powering to wear.  As soon as i put it on and i knew i was wrong.  The gem encrusted set, consists of layers of Pink Tourmaline gems accented with gold.  This set comes with matching earrings, bracelet and of course not forgetting the ring. All the pieces in this set are truely amazing and have a lot of detail in them.

page1

 

Kiss of Camelot is a combination of gold and pink  tourmaline and was specially designed for Breast Awareness Month.  All proceeds of the sell of this stunning set goes to charity.  I loved this set so much i had a couple set to a couple of my sl friends. They to were stunned at how beautiful they were. One of them even went out and got a new outfit just so they could wear it! The piece sits on your neck perfectly and can be worn with either a little black dress or something more couture. The detail is amazing and i have never seen anything like it before in SL. For something that on its own looks like it could be over the top. As soon as you put it on it becomes almost understated. It tones itself down.

Snapshot_004I added the jewellery set to  a simple black dress, and as you can see it works perfectly with it!

Posted in OFA Models, Opium Fashion Agency, Opium Insight - Fashion Shows, Reviews with tags , , , , , , , , on November 10, 2009 by katime vacano

There have been many posts on the Opium Blog showing Sascha’s Designs but when you find a designer who makes the most beautiful and stunning formal gowns they just have to be shown.  Today I am showing the Deception gown in Burgundy by Sascha’s Designs and as you can see below, Deception is simply exquisite.

Sascha1

Designed using a gorgeous satin texture with ornate detail to create this fabulous corset style top, which shows off your shape perfectly and the added matching collar to bring an extra touch of class to this fabulous top.  Deception comes with three skirt choices giving you the option to create various types of looks.  Above I am wearing the Battleship Skirt, designed with many prim parts and layers to give a full bodied skirt that looks so sophisticated and refined when you move.

Sascha2

In the second picture I am wearing the Big Sucker Skirt option, which has more shape to the back of the skirt perfect for the more formal occasions.   Both skirt options, as with the third option of the fluffy skirt, are extremely well designed with flawless attention to detail on the textures creating a very elegant and realistic look.  So if this stunning Deception gown has you feeling like you really must have it, then follow the link below to Sascha’s Designs to pick it up now.
