SavanahAnn McMillan of SPIRIT City has done some amazing work once again. Her intricate details never cease to amaze me.

They are being sold at Couture Chapeau as a part of their spring fashions. They will only be there for a limited time so hurry and go grab one or two...lol!!! I will also be doing a post on SavannahAnn's amazing skins that she is getting to release so stay tuned for that as well.

Sometimes a girl just needs to spend an evening showing off her sexy side. So, with that in mind, I set off to photograph some of my favorite Lingerie outfits.

More Photos and Style Sheets After The Cut...

Total Betty, Insolence and Nicky Ree make some of the finest lingerie on the grid, in my opinion. And these three outfits are excellent examples of their work.

Last night, I was fortunate enough to attend the Alchemy and Angels Fashion Show produced by JM Models Fashion House. And, to make the evening complete, Guy was able to escort me to the show...~smile~ The show was beautifully produced and the models were stunning. The real stars of the show, however, were the designs by Constanza Volare of Alchemy and Isobel DeSantis of Angels. Gunther Allen, our emcee for the evening provided the best description of these two talented designers.

"Constanza is a dress designer with a fondness for bold colors and rich, shimmering textures in her stunning designs. Her dresses take you back to the golden age of Hollywood glamour - but with a contemporary twist.

Isobel makes some of the finest shoes and accessories in Secondlife, delicately crafted with amazing detail and a range of color choices to match all the outfits Constanza makes."

Below the cut you will find more pictures from the show and photos of the new Alchemy Releases provided by Constanza Volare.

In the above pictures you see the first model of the evening preparing her walk down the runway, one of my favorite outfits of the show, and the aptly named Adorable outfit.

The following pictures were taken from Constanza Volare's flickr page, with her permission, of course. To view larger images, please follow the link to flickr. You can find all of these designs at Alchemy.

To purchase any of the fashions seen here, along with all of their other beautiful designs, just follow the SLurls to visit Alchemy and Angels in world.

Oh, and as for me, I'm wearing Alchemy Unique in Yellow with the system skirt option, along with my go-to hair and skin of choice - ETD's Davina II in Blonde Burnt and Fleur Vivant Bronze Feline 3. And Guy, well, he's all in black...go figure...*S.

Cachet - \ka-ˈshā\ - noun - 1: an indication of approval carrying great prestige, 2: a characteristic feature or quality conferring prestige.

Minnu Palen and Thora Charron embody the very definition of the word, so it is no surprise that their latest foray into haute couture should be branded accordingly. With the release of their Spring 2008 line, I have decided to post a retrospective of my favorite pieces from their debut line and a sampling of new releases.

More Photos and Style Sheets after the cut...

Let's begin with Cachet's debut release...
The Ford (Ice) Dress, with it's short white skirt and cut-out at the midriff, is textured beautifully and gives off a sheen that feels almost iridescent. The two photos featured here show off the dress in a setting with more natural daylight and with with the windlight settings manipulated to showcase the iridescence of the texture. Thanks to Tucor Capalini for providing the photos and allowing me to shoot at his Lunar Landing location.



















The Spider outfit, with its wrap of tulle, sleek pants and fashion-forward belt, is edgy and fun. Though the tulle wrap floats around the body fluidly, one would never consider it "fluffy" or "confection-y," this is couture, for sure.




















The Marlene dress takes the inventory-staple Little Black Dress and pushes it into Haute Couture. The low-cut bodice is perfectly complimented by the futuristic headpiece, with it's silver and stiff netting, and the strong profile of the shoulder pieces. The simple silver clutch, which comes with the outfit, is a simple and elegant touch that serves to ground the outfit, not overpower it.

















Victoria takes the classically feminine line of the babydoll dress and infuses it with a lot of style. The rich plum color and sheer white tights can be dressed up or down without detracting from its couture tilt. Here I've chosen to pair it with some sculpted boots from Redgrave.
And now....drumroll, please...for the new releases...
Alex is a vision in chiffon chic. The skirt moves beautifully and the slight slit in the front of the skirt offers an occasional glimpse of the matching panties. This dress needs nothing more than a pair of nude, snakeskin peep-toes to make this fashionista feel like a lady.

Recently, I read a comment from Caliah Lyon (she of Muse fame), praising the detailing of Cachet's pants. The Tilda outfit demonstrates this beautifully. And though I love every outfit I have purchased from Cachet to date, this is the one I would kill to be able to rez into my RL wardrobe.

Finally, GoldGlam is delicately textured with an upscale leaf-like pattern that takes the metallic gold from day to night with ease. I've photographed the skirt here, but when you purchase the outfit, you'll also receive pants with the same attention to detail mentioned above.

If you've not yet visited Cachet, I encourage you to throw on your stilettos and head over there tout de suite. You won't find an overwhelming number of items, but a carefully edited selection of designs and accessories. Each item is fashion-forward yet wearable, and, to my mind, very well-made. In other words...this is a boutique with Cachet to spare.

Ok, I know, I know....Easter was last week but after doing the Vain Easter Egg Hunt and going through the 26 eggs. I had to grab my friends and show the hot and sexy Blue Blaze mini dress and the adorable short, short mini skirt from Vain. I wanted to show what each would like with 3 or 4 of us wearing the same outfit to show how versatile that can be. Whether it be the color of the skins, the color shoes we decided to wear or even how the dress falls on each one of our bodies, these two articles of clothing were a hit! I want to thank Rhodesy Durant, Arcadia Nightfire and Tiana Radek for taking their time out of their busy SL lives to join me in this venture of hopping from place to place to find our treasures.
