[ S T Y L E ] Studded

I have always had a thing for studs.  I remember when I bought my first pair of studded pumps from Stiletto Moody.  I bought them in every color and wore it with everything.  Then came the studded caps, jackets, bras, etc.  This is not the first studded bra to be featured here.  Previous styles were from Vero Modero, which has closed down.  I found a nice alternative from Pink Ice at Dazzle worn with my new leggings from alaskametro<3 for a simple, edgy look.

[ S T Y L E ] Kaila

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  If you are still in the look for some pretty lingerie, check out this set from Bliss.  It’s discrete and simple, with more coverage than usual lingerie… but I still think it’s very sensual.  The applier HUD comes with 5 different colors.  This is the light version which contains bright colors.   There is a dark version if you prefer darker colors.

[ S T Y L E ] In the Woods

I am back exploring Second Life.  I went to check out Conquest of Elysium, a medieval role-playing sim set in beautiful greenery with mystical elements.  For the journey, I am wearing Bare@Rose’s new release “Gauntlets Lady” for Maitreya.  This warrior outfit comes with bento gloves along with a separate HUD pre-set with poses for your hands.  The set also comes with a few poses for your sword which you can use with other poses in your inventory as I have done above.  Check out some of the new releases at Bare@Rose… they are truly amazing!
