... I only said...

There's something about Asian-inspired clothing that I just find ridiculously sexy.

To this end, I would like to simply say,

I love you, Bare Rose!

Skater-Glam-Diva



Once upon a time, I was a skater chick. I wore the baggy pants, the layered shirts, the Airwalk sneakers... I hung out with the guys, and my skateboard and wallet-chain were my only accessories.

Yup, I was that chick. I'm almost embarrassed about it...

almost.

Somehow, that chick is still inside of me, and while I don't embrace her in RL very often, I find that I can do so in SL, anytime I like.

So, a while ago, I put this outfit together- my Skater-Glam-Diva.

Mohna Lisa Couture

At the end of November, I entered a contest at Mohna Lisa Couture.

These are shots from that contest... I've held these back until the contest closed, which it did on December 26th.

So, here you go... Mohna Lisa Couture "Samara".

There was something very... 'Winter Queen' about the gown... and I did my best to bring that out in this shoot.

The Epic Wedding Dress Search

Alright.

I have spent three and a half hours going from store to store, seeing what's there, and trying on demos. I'd like to personally curse a certain few store owners who do NOT provide demo wedding dresses, and who decided to make their entire gowns sculpty. Yes, I bought those two, and am SORELY fricking disappointed.

That being said, here are the vendors that I've visited, and enjoyed:

Bliss Couture
Azul
Lo*Momo
Avid
GField
Miamai
White Armory
Vita's Boudoir
Zaara
Evie's Closet
Son!a
Wishbox

I think there were more, that I'm forgetting.

I can't post photos, for obvious reasons, but I'd like to thank these designers for making such pretty dresses.

Any suggestions that I haven't visited, please let me know!

Happy Holidays!

Hihi, my lovelies!

I haven't been in SL since the 24th, due to family plans, but I wanted y'all to know that I'm thinking of you, and wishing you and your families all the very best over this holiday time.

I'm looking forward to shopping and picking up some of the gorgeous things I've seen blogged lately!

Happiness and well-wishes!

~Jade~

52 weeks of colour challenge - Week 8 - Green!

I know it's early, y'all, but I'm going to be away for the next few days, for the holidays. Figured I'd contribute early rather than late.

Green is my favourite colour. I chose the name Jade, for goodness sakes. My RL nickname is Jade, as well.

So, I figured, I'd go all out... and who should help me, but one of my favourite designers - Vita's Boudoir!

I don't much know what else to say- the photo speaks for itself. Sexy, mysterious, glamorous...

Ruffleicious

A few months ago, I saw this corset on someone, and absolutely HAD to hunt it down. It was just so gorgeous. Instantly, I perved the woman wearing it, 'inspected' it, found the maker's name, and was off and running. I suppose I could have just asked the wearer where she got her rockin' corset, but I'm antisocial like that sometimes.

I found myself at "The Abyss".

There isn't a great deal of selection there, but what *IS* there, is amazingly done. This corset comes in garment layers, with various pieces to enhance bust, hips, and add buckles, etc. Just fricking gorgeous, and easily sized.

I paired it with a ruffled skirt, which was a group gift from Coco, some Pixelfashion boots, and some Truth hair, which was streakable, to bring out the colours of the corset. Et, voila!

Engaged!

My Love proposed to me this morning!

And it made me realize... I'm slightly at a loss for a wedding dress.

So I'm appealing to you, my audience.

Suggestions? Designers you loved? Wedding dresses you've worn?

Please, let me know! I'm curious, and needing to begin the search relatively soon!

Thanks, my lovelies!!

Seldom Blue ~Romana~

SL's a funny thing, sometimes. In RL, I am a panty junkie. I have about 40 pairs of panties. I have a bunch of different bras (and when you're a 44DDD those are hard to come by), I have corsets, nighties, neglige's, peek-a-boo stuff, etc. I fricking love lingerie. It feels sexy as hell.

You'd think that, in SL, where I have a body that's slim and trim and far more fit than my RL self, I'd be all OVER the lingerie. You'd think. And I am, in that I buy it all the time. I just never bloody wear it.

I'm not quite sure why this is. No opportunity, maybe.

Perhaps a love of the *other* thousands of articles of clothes I'd never really wear in RL, gets in the way of 'lingerie time'. Dunno.

Anyway, I recently stumbled into "Seldom Blue", and found this gorgeous lingerie set called "Romana" for $1L. No kidding. Holy bejebus, I was happy.

Lemme show you!

iheartsl!

Today marks a monumental day for me- when I began this blog a few months ago, it was with the intention of eventually earning my place in syndication on the iheartsl fashion blog.

Today, I earned my stripes! Through Jade Eyes is now one of the (many) blogs to appear in the iheartsl fashion blog stream.

So, I thought I'd celebrate iheartsl with nothing other than.... Hearts!

I'd like to introduce you to a designer named Nyla Cheeky. Nyla is a RL fashion designer from nearby my hometown. Her work is whimsical, colourful, imaginative, and absolutely sexy as hell. I'd kill for one of her RL corsets.

One of my favourite things about Nyla, is that she transfers over her RL designs into SL. Tres Cool, IMHO.

Here's a link to her website: House of Nyla

Nyla's In World Store is under construction, however, you can view her gorgeous creations here on the Marketplace.

*squeal* Boudoir made me Joyful!!

Alrighty, my peoples;

I am unabashedly biased when it comes to Vita's Boudoir.

I love them. I blog about them often. I have no shame in admitting...

I have a Boudoir addiction.

So.

Today I walked into Boudoir (to find the free presents scattered around in the shape of Mistletoe... go look!), and discovered a little something....

Everything has been made GIFTABLE FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!!!!

Oh my god, there IS a god! And her name is Vitabela!

So, for those who'd like to get me something special for Christmas *cough*Master*cough*, Boudoir offers TONS of gift ideas!!

Here's a little something I picked up recently- Sparkle Monique.

Words are useless. Look! Enjoy! Shop!

Small note- this Atrium is called the "Ithil Rond Renaissance Atrium", and it's by Alchemy's Attic (Creator: Alchemy Cyannis). It's available right now on Marketplace for $99L!!! It's orianlly $725L! Holy crapoli, it's SO worth it... and it temp-rezzes, so it doesn't eat your whole prim allowance!

Elegantly Over-the-Top Sexalicious Boudoir

I've posted about Boudoir's clothing before... and honestly, every time they release something, I can't help but buy it. Their creations are simply gorgeous, amazing, wonderful.

This particular gown- oh my god, I have goosebumps just thinking about it. Huge, flouncy, sumptuous, eye-catching... I can imagine walking into a ballroom, and hearing the music stop, every eye on me... until that shy look crosses my face, and I scurry off into a corner somewhere.

Tukinowaguma, of course, created the perfect hair for this gown. 'Sophia' in Ebony- it's elegant, structured, like the roses on the gown.

Gorgeous.

Without further ado:

Ice Blue

A little while back, I picked up this gorgeous free outfit from Blacklace.

I just thought it was so cute, and the colour so festive, that I'd run with it.

Blacklace has released some gorgeous stuff lately, which will be featured in blogs this week- an amazing corset, some Christmassy-type ensembles, and some stuff featured in LOW.

Anywho, here y'are:

A quickie, tonight

I have to run to class in 20 mins, but here you go!

New from Nymphetamine!

This corset/panty combo is absolutely adorable- it comes with matching gloves, frilly bits, and a gorgeous large bow to decorate the derriere. The attention to detail is beautiful, with rich colours, and a gorgeous lace pattern that is sheer enough to show off the contours of my body beneath it.

Hair, of course, is one of my faves from Vita's Boudoir, and the Mask is by White Widow. As usual, my skin is by Laqroki.

Gotta run!



Christmas is Coming!

Well, it's that time of year, and to celebrate, Bliss Couture has a few Holiday dresses out!

This is one of them, called "Mrs. Santa Fur Dress", which you can get at their main store, for just $88L!

It's short, sparkly, has fur edges, and comes with a Santa hat! Just super-cute.

The hair is part of Magika's Christmas line.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Week 5: Sepia!

I think there's something misplaced about me;

there is an unexplained attachment,

to all things old.

Retro, vintage, ancient,

really, it doesn't matter...

my heart still feels connected to it.

This week's challenge was 'Sepia'.

I revelled.

**I would like to mention here, that I did not 'sepia tone' any of the photographs. All of the items used were in sepia tones... I merely softened the image**
