Cavalieri @ ZURYA Fashion Mall

Hey Guys,

Here is this super cute and casual creation by the talented mind behind [Cavalieri].  Chloe Cavalieri made this black and white mini-skirt.  This mini has this wrinkly, in a cute way, tank top that is tucked into this high-waisted zippered black mini skirt.  

This cute and chic mini-skirt was just one out of a vast array of colors that you can mix and match to create that perfect look for yourself.  Also, in [Cavalieri], they have poses too.  What cant this woman do?

Schön, WTG & Mary Jane Shoes @ Zurya Fashion Mall

Before visiting the Zurya Fashion Mall, I was not familiar with the designs of Saya Littlething of Schön [English spelling Schoen]. I was delighted to find a number of lovely items at Schoen that I immediately wanted to add to my inventory. For this blog post, I had to narrow it down to just a few pieces, but I had great fun putting this look together. After checking out all the gorgeous clothing, I couldn't help but fall for a pair of amazing leather pants that were just screaming for me to grab them. With those in hand, I decided I wanted to go for a fun, rock n' roll kind of vibe for my look.


To go with my new favorite pair of pants, I loved this barely there ribbon top from Schoen's 'ILY' bodysuit in red. The bodysuit in it's original form is a skimpy criss-cross of ribbon from head to toe with a cute prim ribbon that attaches on one side. I wanted to mix and match something up, however, so I combined the top half of the bodysuit with my fab new pants. To ramp up the rock, I added on one of my favorite Vanity Hair styles, 'Kaos', which is also available at Zurya Fashion Mall.


When it came to choosing accessories, I already had a head start as Schoen had on display for purchase an awesome chain belt from WTG that was created to go with the Lamia pants. Since WTG also has a satellite store at Zurya Fashion Mall, I headed over there to deck myself out with some additional goodies. To finish out my outfit for the day, I picked up some stellar WTG 'Blessing-S' nails in black and silver and threw on a set of WTG 'GNR-ROSE' bracelets and earrings I had previously purchased there.


Of course, no outfit is complete without a great pair of shoes! One of my favorite shoe designers happens to have a store at Zurya Fashion Mall as well. I picked up this striking pair of 'Nude Stiletto' heels in black for a final touch on my outfit of the day. You just can't lose with a simple, beautiful pair of black stilettos that you can match to so many different looks!

Izzie's @ ZURYA Fashion Mall

Hey Guys,

Here is a gorgeous summer dress by Izzie's.  This summer dress is called Izzie's - Chiffon Summer Dress Pink, and what a pink summer dress this is.  What can i say about this dress; the colors are so flattering to any skin tone and any figure.  The pattern used on this dress is just beautiful.  The transition from the dark purple to the light pink with the  design placed on this dress just makes it breath-taking.  

To go along with this beautiful summer dress, is a set that matches perfectly to this specific dress.  The Izzie's - Pearl Jewelry Set Pink / Blue has three pieces in the set.  There are bracelets that are on each wrist.  These bracelets were created to be in a set, but they don't look similar; which is a good thing.  There is a necklace that goes along with these bracelets.

HYATT @ ZURYA Fashion Mall

I first had the pleasure of being introduced to the fabulous creations of HYATT Haute Couture Jewelry CEO and Designer Amanda Hausner when I was cast for a show called The Surreal Life, hosted by the Opium Fashion Agency. I had previously admired HYATT designs and visited their store, but had not yet had an occasion to wear anything from the line until The Surreal Life show.

One of my fantastical outfits for this show was an astounding dress from HYATT called 'Golden Ocean' in red -- with matching shoes, both of which are currently available at the HYATT store at the ZURYA Fashion Mall. This is, quite frankly, one of the most spectacular gown creations I've seen all year. If you enter a room in this ball gown, you can pretty much guarantee heads will turn!


The Golden Ocean gown is just that, an ocean of ruffled skirt with beautiful golden rings adorning the outside hem. Standing still, this ball gown sweeps across the floor in an astonishing circumference, showing everyone nearby that you are absolutely a diva to be reckoned with. In motion, the gown truly shows off it's beauty as the skirt sweeps back into a graceful train as you walk and spins with elegance as you turn or dance. The gown comes in red, black and white, all of which are available in HYATT's satellite store at the ZURYA Fashion Mall.

While HYATT's Golden Ocean gown is an amazing creation, and the brand has a few other lovely clothing items as well, the line is actually primarily known for its beautiful couture jewelry and metal wear. HYATT has a fabulous line of gold and silver jewelry in a variety of unique and intriguing designs. In addition to the usual necklaces, earrings and bracelets, HYATT also features gorgeous metal corsets, head pieces and other items for the discerning fashionista.


In styling HYATT's Golden Ocean gown, I could not resist these striking Bunggle earrings and matching head piece to combo with the gown's golden shoulder and neck pieces. Just look at the delicious shine on the jewelry in the sun of Costa Rica Sims' Opera House gardens! This gown is already over the top in all the right ways and I delighted in pushing it just that one step further. These lovely bracelets I added to the look are actually a group gift item from HYATT, how sweet is that?

Drop by the HYATT store at the ZURYA Fashion Mall to check out more gorgeous jewelry creations from designer Amanda Hausner!

Indyra Originals and *MJS*

It's warm and breezy here today and I wanted an outfit to match that.  I stopped in at Indyra Originals at Zurya Mall and picked up Suha in Live Coral.  The flowy, linen fabric of the strapless top is perfect for warm summer days.  A metallic belt gathers the tops of a bit and gives it a playful feel.  The simple cotton, loose legged shorts are comfy and cute!  The Coral color is perfect against my fair skin.  Suha also comes in: White, Honeysuckle, Blue Curacao, Russet and Noir.  You're sure to find a color that suits you.


For my casual outfit, I needed a pair of simple but stylish heels.  I headed over to *MJS*, Mary Jane Shoes and picked up the Satin Pumps in White.  A simple stiletto that ties around the ankle.  They were the perfect addition to the outfit!

Now that Indyra Originals and *MJS* have helped me create a cute, summery outfit - I'm all set for my date tonite!  Make sure you head over to Zurya Mall and check out all the fabulous designers!

With Love, 
Addi



Bliss Couture @ ZURYA Fashion Mall

Hey Guys,

Bliss Couture is one of the newest stores in ZURYA Fashion Mall, and I cannot be any happier for them to be here.  Amutey DeCuir is one of the top SL designers out there and I am privileged to be blogging one of her newest outfits.  

The Annarita Dress kind of reminds me of a ballerina dancing in a production of "Swan Lake".  Except, this ballerina would be both the black and white swank; just like in the movie, "Black Swan".  I love the contradictory colors used, black and white.  It really gives this outfit depth to it.  I also love the ruffles around the upper part and the lower right side.  

Overall, this is a fun outfit to wear to a upscale party to impress all of your friends.

Angel Dessous @ ZURYA Fashion Mall


Today at the ZURYA Fashion Mall, we visit the satellite store one of my favorite lingerie and formal wear designers in Second Life, Angel Dessous. This fabulous designer brand is known for presenting both delicious, skimpy lingerie and delectable formal fashions. Angel Dessous also hosts one of the most popular monthly modeling/styling competitions in Second Life -- the Angel of Angel Dessous contest.

One of my favorite things Angel Dessous lingerie designs is the beautiful 'Cherie' corset set. I love to pair this corset, shown in this gorgeous photo by Magissa Denver below, with all sorts of other Angel Dessous outfit parts to come up with new and unique lingerie looks. This particular outfit, created for an Angel of Angel Dessous contest entry, is a combination of the Cherie corset top & bottom (available in the ZURYA Fashion Mall outlet) and another Angel Dessous design called 'Rebecca'. A few other caberet bits were added on to the outfit for a fun burlesque look.


Beautiful, sexy lingerie is only one side of the Angel Dessous fashion line, however. Angel Dessous also makes amazingly gorgeous formal wear. I have over a dozen lovely full-length and cocktail gowns from their line that I wear frequently to parties, fashion shows and other events where I want to look ultra glam and lush. I adore the color palette of Angel Dessous formal wear. The clothing always looks luxurious and very touchable.

The 'Claudine' ball gown in gold is a smashing example of both the line's brilliant and eye-catching color and the richness of the fabric textures used in Angel Dessous clothing.


This is one of my most beloved Angel Dessous formal wear gowns. I love the almost glowing golden color of the dress and companion hair piece, which went beautifully with a fabulous 'Eden' hair style from Vanity Hair, also from the mall. The intricate detailing on the skirt, chest and glove bands makes you just want to reach out and run your fingers across the fabric. This is truly a fairy princess kind of gown. Thus, I could not resist pairing it with this beautiful, royal **J:D-02** necklace and earrings from the ZURYA Fashion Mall +:+WTG+:+ outlet store.

Angel Dessous is definitely the perfect store to buy that beautiful gown for a night out on the town... and some luscious lingerie to wear underneath for when you get your date home afterwards!

Remy @ ZURYA Fashion Mall

Heyy All,

Remy is such a summery place, i just love it. They have boot, shoes, shirts, and summer dress. Kind of like what I am blogging about. I have on a blue navy-styled sun-dress. What i love about this is that is can pretty much go anywhere beachy or just lounging around that house. This sundress comes in cream, brown, salmon, teal, and patterned; much like the logo pattern.

Remy also has some awesome poses that are only 25L each. What a steal and each of the poses is so unique and creative i bought them all hehe..

Overall, this is a must have clothing for anything summer that you might wanna wear. GO GO GO

shiki @ ZURYA Fashion Mall


Today at the ZURYA Fashion Mall, we go inside the store of one of Second Life's most innovative and colorful designers, Shinichi Mathy, owner and designer of shiki. shiki's Spring/Summer collection, currently available now, is a bold and beautiful look at casual wear and select formal pieces with a Hawaiian, beach resort inspiration.

I was honored to walk in a show for shiki hosted by Costa Rica Sims Productions several months back and I was recently cast to walk for shiki again at Miami Fashion Week. As a result, I have become quite familiar with the beautiful variety of Shinichi's fabulous designs and their extreme uniqueness in Second Life fashion. Simply put, if you know shiki, you will most probably recognize it immediately when you see it on someone. shiki fashions just stand out in the crowd and you would be hard put to find anyone else out there designing with such daring and brilliant color combinations, combined with such interesting clothing styles.

shiki at ZURYA Fashion Mall
One of my absolute favorite designs from shiki's Spring/Summer collection is a gorgeous short dress called 'BLOSSOMS', which is featured below in the 'PURPLEMOOON' color. I have this dress styled several different ways in my 'outfits' folder. because it can either go either casual or formal depending on the styling and accessories paired with it. For the look shown below, I have combined this beautiful dress with one of my favorite Vanity Hair glam styles, Gala, and added on Black Satin Pumps from Mary Jane Shoes and GNR-Rose bracelets & earrings from +:+WTG+:+ -- all of which are also available at the ZURYA Fashion Mall. As is the photography pose used above, 'Glam Pose-2' from [Cavalieri].


Another of my favorite designs from shiki, primarily for its amazingly bold color usage, is this orange top and yellow skirt combination called 'HONOLULU CHIC'. You have to be an extremely talented and confident designer to use color combinations such as these and Shinichi succeeds fabulously in making them gorgeous rather than glaring.


For styling this look, I turned once again to Vanity Hair, one of my favorite hair lines in Second Life, and their cute but slightly funky 'Pin-Up' style. Mary Jane Shoes provided these fantastic Yellow Satin Pumps that were an amazing match to the shiki skirt. Lovely gold bracelets and 'Dayak' earrings and necklace from HYATT complemented the gold belt that came with the shiki outfit. All of these items are also available at the ZURYA Fashion Mall.



If you are looking for bright, cheerful Spring/Summer clothing that will bring a smile to your lips when you wear it and have you thinking of warm beaches and glorious vacations, shiki is definitely the place you want to go on your next shopping trip!

VERO MODERO/Vanity Hair @ ZURYA

Heyy Guys,

I am so honored to be able to pose the first post here on the ZURYA Blog.  So i thought I would start with a couple powerhouses; Vero Modero and Vanity Hair.  

I choose to get the Night Crow Feather by Vero Modero.  What drew my eye to this feathery outfit was indeed the feathers.  I really like to wear dark and avant garde pieces, and this outfit did just that.  The feathers on the shoulders give it the avant garde look.  This animalistic outfit continoious with snake skin black pants.  This dark and spooky outfit will put all eyes on you wherever you go.

I wanted to do something simple yet creative with my hair, so i looked to Vanity Hair, and i found a piece of hair i already had; the Vanity Hare Hare style.  Of course I have it in blonde =).  I think it tied into the fashionable/avant garde look with my hair pulled away from me face.
