The Jewellry Fair is on and the incredible jewellers of Second Life have come together on four gorgeous sims to showcase their work for you. I have some gorgeous offerings from a few of the designers and stores you will find there.

Violator has some amazing jewellry that adds a stunning finishing touch to any look.


Aphorism is a two choker set, plain and with Chinese characters. If statement jewellry is your thing, Violator is a must check out store for you!

U&R Dogs is one of my favourite stores. I love the intricacy and delicacy of the designs. The inset shows the new Westphalia Lovelet piercings. The Candide Pierced Earrings are my new favs! Multi-piercings are a great look, and the combination of hoops and studs in diamonds is dazzling. Ring/nail combinations are another awesome look. The Salome sets come with long nails and rings so there is no need to chose to wear or the other. Everything is menu resize and you can use that to remove pieces to custom your look.

Trident is where you go if your passion is like theirs - for medieval, ancient, ethnic and tribal jewellry. I must admit, I am now a fan! The Hefling Set has a choker, armbands and earrings in a fabulous design celebrating the history of the Vikings and the North Sea.

The Coin Necklace and Armbands has silver bands with gold coins dangling from them. Its perfect for the gypsy in you. Selene has a necklace, earrings, nose ring and headpiece in a gorgeous design that takes inspiration from the legend of Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess.

The Boar Tusk Necklaces come in versions for men and women. In Norse mythology it symbolised fertility. It also represents fierceness in battle.

Breathtaking and Divine has some elegant and delicate jewellry for those who like to make a subtle statement. The Beaded Zodiac set of necklace and bracelet was a must have for me. I grabbed my sign (Virgo) and you should grab yours. The Princess Layered Necklace has a princess cut gemstone hanging from a layered chain. It comes with a HUD so you can turn bling on and off or change the texture of your gem with 40 choices loaded.

The Thoughts Necklace lets everyone know whats on your mind, or what you think you are. Of course I had to grab "Bitch" *smiles sweetly*. With it is the Sapphire Solitaire Ring - a must for all September birthdays!

As promised yesterday, I'm gonna start with some stuff for the guys that you will find at the Call for Couture Festival, which is now open to the public.


A - Shiki has a great outfit for the guys. Called the Ginza Cardigan Set, its gonna have your guy looking a million bucks. It comes with the jeans, tee and black and white cardigan.

B - Who wears short shorts? Anyone who has taste and style and has picked up the RTW Outfit from FIR. I just love the colour and texture of the jacket and it fits Cam perfectly! It comes with the tee too.

b[ELLE]issima! has a special Halloween skin for the guys! It comes in different facial hairs so you can find the look you love, and has bloody wounds for that battle weary look. Cam's also wearing the Belt Chain Bracelets from Fusion I blogged the other day. As I said then, they come in male and female versions.

Avant Garde, creative, different, special, way out there...whatever way you want to describe it, CheerNo is the place for exceptional fashion. For the ladies, Rita is a dress that will make a statement. The almost modest black dress is saved from schoolmarmishness by the metal arm reaching down to pull the hem back revealing the lacey underskirt. The hat is just awesome too! And for the men, the Oel Overalls are a masterpiece. A lace mask covers the face under a cowl hood, which saves these overalls from normality, along with the arm feathers. Its CheerNo at its funky best!

A - I love this dress from TuttiFrutti. Called Poesie Noire, its a gorgeous sculptie dress in striking black with silver highlights that is sure to keep all eyes on you when you wear it. The neckline is fabulous!

B - Lesley shows off the talent and impeccable style that is Baiastice. You can almost feel the luxury of the suede and know you will look incredible when you wear this. Its simply superb texturing and design and you will love it.

I love this outfit from Indyra Originals. The Marquis II has a gorgeous corset bodice, waist cinccher and I don't even mind the leg flares! The shoulder ruffles are a gorgeous touch too, as is the shoulder jewellry collar. I'm not sure if they are meant to be worn together or apart, so showing them seperately and how you wear them is then up to you.

Studio Sidhe has a beautiful gown for you in two lengths. The Blue Emerald Leaf Gown comes in a short cocktail version and long empire gown. I love the deep aqua colour and empire gowns are a personal fav of mine. It comes with the Caged Lacrimose Pendant too.

And finally (for today anyway) from Alexohol comes the Rosebud PretaPorter Dress. The shocking pink high waisted skirt looks so pretty with the cutout silve top, and it can be worn either way giving it two looks.

And even more goodies from the Call For Couture Festival, which finally opens to the public tomorrow.

Wheeee its League's Burlesque Rose. I simply adore this outfit. It comes with so many options to wear it that you will look great anytime. It has two skirt lengths - short and long drape, two bust drapes - risque and modest - and they come in four versions. Everything about this outfit is spectacular. It comes with the boots too.

From Donna Flora, a stunning dress in two skirt versions - short and long. It has prim roses decorating the bust and hips and the sheer grey skirt is simply stunning. You'll also find the Mari jewellry set with necklace and earrings from Donna Flora too. A gorgeous set that will finish off any look.

A - Nothing is more beautiful than a Simple Black Dress, like this one from Muism. A strapless number, its stunning in its simplicity and perfect for any night out. Worn with it is the Maddy Necklace from ICED. The pearls are texture change, so you can accessorise it to match any outfit.

B - A vision in colour and design is the Tanya from Bliss Couture. It floats around the body and will have all eyes on you when you wear it. Its not the dress for the shy!

A - Glam Couture steps up and delivers elegance and sexiness with Black Baccara. This sexy pantsuit comes with the gorgeous collar, bra top with prim straps at the back and high waisted pants. Its worn with their stunning Castalia skin which you can find at The Dressing Room right now!

B - Imabee has a lovely skin for you. Called Miranda in the Petal tone, its delicate and looks amazing on. It comes with gorgeous lashes (which I have taken to wearing all the time!) and tattoo layers of different eyebrow shades, so you can match them up to your hair. Also worn are the Belt Chain Bracelets from Fusion. These are gorgeous and come in male and female versions.

Royal Blue has a great jacket and pants set for you. The Padded Gem Denims come in two colours - night and snow - and these are fabulous! The Watch Me Now Jacket will have everyone watching you when you wear it.


Razorblade Jacket has a very sexy mix and match outfit called Wish on Pink Stars. It has two sheer tube tops, gloves, leg warmers and many versions of the tights - with and without the very short denim skirt.

Next post - stuff for the lads!

It comes with glasses, armband, boots, prim skirt and bra. The jewellry is from Just You and contains the Queen Earrings and Fascination Necklace in silver.

I'm at the dress rehearsal for the auction items and thanks SL for keeping me in what I was wearing 16+ hrs ago when I was doing blog pics! Apparently on everyone's screen I am topless, wearing black panties and a stunning Heartsick skin instead of my glamazon look *wink*.

So I grabbed a freebie barrel off The Marketplace and stood quietly in a corner trying not to draw attention to myself too much more than I already was and enjoyed the stunning designs! At least on the bright side I was keeping my ARC waaaay down as requested by the organisers lol. I'm sorry for traumatising everyone with my boobies *sad face*. I'm dressed on my screen honest!!! Now I'm off to crawl under a rock and stay there for a while!

This is such a super awesome event coming up that you will kick your own butt if you miss it!!!

Ok so what is it exactly? Well its dozens of fabulous SL designers all uniting to showcase some exquisite stuff...from designer gowns, dresses, outfits to skins, jewellry and more.

When you TP in, you'll find yourself in a walkway! There are boards framing the outside of the event with stalls in the centre, so you can walk down one side taking in all the fabulousness on the boards and looking at the centre stalls which are filled with goodies you can buy, then walk back up the other side.

The boards are the special items though. A is an exclusive item which is being auctioned at the event. The winning bid at the end of the 3 week event will have 50% of the proceeds going to either The Samaritans or MIND. B is also an exclusive item, a pret-a-porter look which is for sale at the event, so you can buy it now. I'm showing the League board cos OMG WANT!!!!!

I'll be showing off some of the exclusive pret-a-porter items you can pick up at the CFC Festival, which will be running from October 10th through to the 31st.

You will find the Prophecy Skin on their centre stall and its one you will love - I know I do! The Prophetie outfit is incredible. Not only is it super sexy, but it comes with the necklace, shoulder jewel, armbands and will have you looking great. The Prophecy Boots are included with the auction item though, not this one. Check out their stall for more incredible stuff. You will not regret that - and come away with an empty wallet!

This is one of the rare times you will catch me in pink, and its for a very good cause. Rocky Candy has the uber fabulous Melfina hair in several pink shades. I feel like Jem...truly outrageous!!! Dreams has a couple packs of shirts all supporting this cause and you can choose between bright pink and pale pink. From Opium, you can pick up the fantabulous high stilettos in green stripes, that also come with a fab bangle and belt.

Ok so what you do is follow the pink petals and they will lead you to all the goodies. Don't forget to go over the bridge at the point where you TP in cos at the end is a castle with more of the fabulous vendors there.

One of the most awesome things you will find there is the new Babylon Outfit in red from Nomine. This definately tops my Halloween wishlist! See what else you can find.

I love this lingerie! Its the Lacey Lingerie in merlot from Slink. This is the set that drove me insane trying to photograph. Took over 7hrs for the bra to come into focus. Gotta love SL lag huh?

Take some time to support this fabulous cause and grab yourself some real goodies. The fair is full of poses, clothing, furniture, hair, jewellry and so much more. As my Dreams shirt says - Save the Hooters! So lets look after them!

Oh one more tip...grab the notecard given out when you TP in and follow the instructions. It really does help you combat the lag!!!

Dilly Dolls is a great store if Gothic Lolita or just cute fashion is your thing. Its a store I found on a hunt a long time ago, and I just loved it. It has been a while since I have checked it out, but after seeing the new goodies coming out, its something I know I need to do soon!

Emilie is a fresh remake of an old dress, and its super sexy and adorable all rolled into one! With a white tank top, prim corset waist cincher, cute tutu skirt with netting, gaters and mismatching stockings, hat, necklace and wrist cuffs...well its a complete look that will have you looking amazing! Available in 8 colours.

There's a Gacha in store filled with the Harley Q Bikini in a variety of colours. At $10 a pop, its a great way to bulk up your swimsuit collection. All kinis are no copy/trans, so you can give away double ups or trade to collect them all.

Like boots? Then the Briar Boots are must haves! These platform boots are texture change, so you can change the boot and strap colour and resize them. I cut and pasted different coloured boots into this pic....you can't change only one.

A - Infedele. A sexy, off the shoulder dress with ruffles swirling around the body from bodice to just above the knees. It moves beautifully with each movement.
