What's She Working With???

Hey Gurlies, The Diva here, while this is not my normal look of the day, it is something I want to show off because I know I have a few teen lurkers and I want to show them a little sumthin, sumthin, for going out to the club with friends...So here is a side GaGa for the day:

Now I understand that its standard practice to show a little (or a lot depending on the person) of skin, when we are at the club, but sorry gurls, the Diva doesn't always follow the rules, and as such, I set the trend.  The following is what I wore to the club the other night with my sister Tia.  I believe you can still be sexy, eye catching and alluring, while being covered up. Let's learn to leave a little mystery, let 'em work for it hunnays...LOL.

 The look is a smorgasbord  of collectables in my closet, since my sister decided she wanted to dance at last minute notice, I had to put on something quick, I think it came out quite showstopping if you ask the Diva...Heyyy

My Fishscale throw, from the Villan collection and Camoscio Platforms in Taupe are available at Meghindo's,  from Meghindo Romano (my girl...woot woot); the Cross Top Sequin tank in Champagne is from Gyorgyna Larnia of LG femme fame. Additionally, the Sequin jeans I'm rocking  in Nacre are from Redgrave.  Now, in order to give my fit some L.I.F.E.; I threw on my Ofelia II Shades from Role Optic, now Bayybe, if you want some realistic, straight stunning shades/sunglasses to make 'em pause and double-take, take that taxi down to Role Optic, Mr. Rohal Schnyder, is not to be denied...He is the truth when it comes to his shades, don't believe me, go and see for yourself...

My accessories are as follows:  Bangles in Brown from the Takara Collection at Mandala (Right hand) , Left hand: Wide Bangle in Copper from +Plus, SN( if you're not familiar with +Plus, hunnay, you are missing out, in my opinion +Plus has the accessories on lock, everything from bags, belts, and bangles, in metals, pastels, and African/Animal prints... I love +Plus, and trust, once you visit, so will you; +Plus gets an A plus from the Diva.) Chain belt in Gold is from the JA Collection at Glow Studio, which is also available in Silver.  My necklace (not shown) which is hard to see due to my throw is Necklace Hearts in Gold of  Ryca Jewelry from Ryca Doobie (also available in Silver) and you know I had to kill 'em for the night so the Diva switched it up and gave them some Blonde Ambition..Ha/ Hair: Blythe in Blonde Fun from Lelutka.

Now, pay no mind to the effects in the pics, as previously stated, the Diva is teaching herself the wonders of digital photography, thus every time I learn something new, I'm going to attempt to showcase it, but back to the night at hand.  Bayybe, we had ourselves a ball and two or three, we went to my girl Meko's RL Bday party, and party we did. And even though we had the nakies up in the club, the Diva still got all kinds of love, so it goes to show, that you can be sexy, and a showstopper, and still make 'em wonder what you working with...Chillle

Okay Hunnays, I know there's a sale somewhere or a new fall collection that I must see, so I will be checking in later, as always, comments and feedback are welcome and appreciated... Later Dollbabies!!!

She's Backkkkk????

Hey Ghurls (and guys if you happen to be passing thru): The Diva has returned, after being in limbo about blogging and whether or not to continue, I was encouraged to keep, keeping on, so I wish to thank those who support and encouraged me to continue, I hope I will not disappoint you. 

Okay, before I begin with the look of the day, I want to inform you of a few things: One, I'm not proficient in Photoshop or Gimp, I'm doing my best to teach myself, and in fact you may (or may not) see improvement as I continue on this journey, but if you have tips and/or suggestions, I welcome and appreciate them. 

Secondly, Fashion in and of itself is entirely subjective, I put this as a disclaimer because this blog is not me professing to be SL's greatest dresser, I dress for me and no one else, what you see me wearing here, is what and how I would put it together in real life, GG is my digital me, I guess you're wondering why I'm writing this, well I frequently peruse the blogs for SL, and I read the comments, and some are downright NASTY... While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, its not necessary to rank on someone's choice of fashion or how they put together an outfit, bloggers for the most part, are folks who love fashion and dress up, there's no honorarium for blogging, its another creative outlet, so as my Mama would say if you can't say something nice, keep your opinion to yourself...*jumps down off the soap box to begin the look of the day...

 Asian Motif Enchanting

 After meditating and relaxing near my home; I was so invigorated, I wanted to do an Asian Motif theme, so Viola...I stumbled across June Dion of BareRose, totally by accident, but if I could have more accidents like this one, I could die and go to fashion heaven. How often do you get lost in SL only to find a treasure, chile, BareRose Couture beat me all over my fashion head, not only does June have beautiful textured kimonos for Women and Men, but her hand bags STANK...for all those not privy to my fashion jargon, Stank means that something is so bad as in F.I.E.R.C.E., it stanks, and June's bags stank to all high heaven; realistic, fashionable, and affordable, not to mention, you can find one in a color to suit just about every palate in your closet.  I don't want to give away the prices, but you owe it to yourself to check her out; I thought it was a mistake or in the very least a sale, but no girlfriends, those prices are the everyday prices.

Okay now for the Gaga: The top is from Ms. June's Kimono collection entitled Wakatora, when I got home with this gem, honnney, I passed out, you get not only one Kimono, but you get 5, one in every color, Black, Blue, Green, Purple, and White, and chile if I tell you how much I paid...well, I'm not, because you have to go see for yourself, Ms. June has made a repeat customer out of the Diva, since discovering her, I been back 5 times and will continue too, humpf.

I decided to keep it casual but chic, thus, I paired my lovely kimono top with some comfy but stylish Soho shorts from another of my favorite designers, Lelutka in Straw; my wrap belt, was a gem found at Fishy Strawberry, I love everything Fae creates, I mean you can always find something to accentuate your wardrobe at Fishy, the Tied big belt in Biscuit Brown comes in 3 other great colors, and you can dress it up or down, jeans, dress, or with a blazer or sweater, the perfect accessory if you ask the Diva, boop boop!!

With the changing of the weather upon us, I decided to not bare leg it but to continue my Asian theme, with some tights from AV, entitled Asian Green, how befitting, I'm really beginning to love stockings, tights, pantyhose, etc, I'm a leg girl myself and I must admit, I love the print and the color compliments my kimono top very well, don't you think? I threw on a pair of Saffron pumps in Tan, also by Lelutka, to hit the fit in the head, and because I needed something to carry, my keys, wallet, makeup bag, and phone, Maicao bag in Sand, also from Lelutka to the rescue.  With my look now completed, I'm off to find the treasures of the day girls, so I will be talking to you soon...Happy Shopping

 

I want to add one more thing about June Dion, BareRose, and all the other creators that fall under this guise, I must thank creators like June, that take the time to make these fashions must-haves, while taking into consideration the consumer, I have an understanding of just how much time and effort goes into creating a top, so for Ms. Dion to make these beautiful items, and not charge an arm, leg and two feet, its a blessing that I must acknowledge and invite you to take advantage of.  If you are into the Asian culture, or if not, if you're like me and simply love kimonos and bags, I urge you to get down to BareRose, she has so much to offer, and if you find your self a little overwhelmed, not to worry she has a search catalog, that will tp you directly to your item...Gawd!!! what else could you ask for...Okay Chicas, the stores are calling...Ciao Bellas

Look of the Day: Top: BareRose Wakatora Kimono (Green), Shorts: Lelutka Soho Shorts (Straw),  Shoes: Lelutka Saffron Pumps (Tan), Hair: Sakin Boon (YNO421 Black) Choker: Ryca (LX Platinum), Earrings: Barcode (Glam Girl Icey Hoops), Bangles: Ryca (CBL Silver), Bracelet: Ryca (Gucci Platinum), Handbag: Lelutka Maicao (Sand)

Funni how time flies...

Goodness me, where did the Summer go?, I feel as though one day I went to sleep and it was June, and woke up mid dream, only to realize it was August..Geesh!   Well, that being said, I thought it would befitting to show some of the last tidbits of Summer to you before we blink and its Labor Day...Let's go for a ride, shall we?

First, I bring to you a Ruffle Maxi dress from Ebony Khan, of Hucci, I know I'm not alone when I say I love Ebony's style, which in my opinion is a mix of Sexiness, a wee bit of Lady, and dare I say "Hoochie" for the Hoochie-mama in all of us (I kid). This Maxi dress is one of my favorites, since I love long flowy dresses, you know on those hot summer days...we ladies need all the breeze we can get, especially in those delicate areas...right girls, I happen to be wearing the Blue Batik of the set, which comes in 4 other flowy delicate colors, including: Purple, Green, and Blue Animal, and Pink Batik. This dress is perfect for those evening dates with your special someone, or maxing out that Platinum Amex Card on weekend shopping sprees with the girls...Another thing I want to mention is Ebony "werks it out" as we say in fashion corners, in terms of prints, quality, style and budget.  No matter how intricate the detail of the prim or sculpty, it will always fit your budget, and I'm sure my fellow shoppers really appreciate that, quality without breaking that Gucci wallet...Heyyyy...

Next...OMG..I'm so excited about this...its from the woman close to my fashion heart...Meghindo Romano of Meghindo's...OOO Wee, I love this woman...she can do no wrong in my eye...whether it be dresses, gowns, skirts, pants, jeans, Meggy as I affectionately call her, brings grace, sex appeal, and sass to every prim she puts her hands on.  Its very hard for me to stop in her store and just look, I always walk out with something, no matter how many times I say to myself GG, we are not going to get anything, I feel as though I'm a kid in a candy store when I go to Meg's.

First up is Panan, in Ocean Teal, an awesome mixture of Teal and Turquoise; (Wow, I love the sound of those two beautiful colors together), with gold accents. While I must admit I have been skipping out on my gym sessions, I did want to do justice to Meg's new Swimsuit line; Thus, I asked a good friend of mine who has a house on the beach, would she mind if I did some sunbathing? I must say, I was able to get a nice tan in this number, as it only covers just what is necessary and is definitely an eye catcher.This suit hugs you in all the right places, as I really dislike a swimsuit that doesn't provide you with the support you in need in the upper area, but this one fails to disappoint. F.I.E.R.C.E.N.E.S.S. is written all over this one, ladies,

Another Suit from Meg's swimsuit line and my personal favorite is Secretto...Now, talk about about an absolute stunner and head turner, all in one...this is not a suit for swimming, although, who am I to say you can't, but its my suggestion that when you hit the beach in this, it is for mere attention grabbing at its finest. A mix of of bronze and cream, with a interlocking cover  up in the middle, this suit will have heads turning and lips flapping, so don't be surprised if you are the topic of discussion for the day.

Yes, I know you're wondering why would I want to blog about swimsuits near the end of Summer, well Lovies, its not over yet.. And as long as the weather permits, I suggest, you spread your wings and fly on down to Meghindo's and pick up a sultry suit and get your show stopping on...

Well Divas and Gents, the waves are calling and the sand is hot, so until next time...Stay Fierce!!!

Yellow Daze:

I really love the color yellow, and although its not my favorite, I do love it ever so much.Yellow, and all its brightness, puts me in very good mood, and invokes feelings of warmth and good times, it is because of yellow's inviting hue, that I chose it to be apart of my first "official" blog.  The pics were taken near one of the many shops I frequent and hope to bring to you sometime in the near future, Tutti Frutti by the lovely Bela Tolsen, Bela is a girl after my own heart, if you haven't been, you are definitely in for a treat, Bela is in love with color, as much as, or perhaps a tab bit more than I, you will love her colorful Jeans and leggings, and nor is she afraid of prints. The store itself, is a menagerie of color and hip things from both the past and the present. Every time I stop by I get a bit nostalgic and tingly inside; trust me, Bela, has something for everyone, I do hope you will check her store out...

Today, I was in a very Sophi kinda mood, sophi is my word for sophisticated, so I threw on my Spring Cocktail Dress by Azure Electricteeth of LaViere fame, the dress for me is very flirty and and fun, with just a dash of sophistication,  Ms. Azure really does know what this girl likes in terms of prints, they are not overwhelming, and compliment the dress very well . I  decided to match my dress, with the very stylish and sexy Rivea Pumps from Mikee Mokeev,  the creator behind these fabulous peep toe pumps from her Mstyle line.  Now, I know some may feel there was a bit of overkill with my accessories, but I couldn't help myself...I absolutely die for Ms. Ryca Doobie and all of the jewelry from her Ryca Jewelry line, if you love Gold, Platinum and Silver with a realistic feel, not to mention optional bling, take that taxi over to Ryca's, she will definitely have something for your taste palette. 

No matter how much I love my gold, silver, and diamond jewelry, its always bold, expressive , and classy (depending on the design of the item) to wear cocktail jewelry. Cocktail jewelry, does for a look what gold, platinum, and silver can't which is add color and hue. I figured why not mix the two, so in my jewelry box I went to find the perfect ring to compliment my dress and lo and behold, Ekilem Melodie of Mons came to my rescue...the perfect mix of Canary Yellow and Green to give my Yellow Haze a stylish accent. I'm wearing the Mush ring, from the Elegance Ring Series, I love how the golden tone brings out the hues in my dress. I finished my look off with an awesome clutch created by Holly Somerset and her line of Coco Chanel inspired bags from B.O.S. Holly is Great at getting all the nuisances of the original into her creations...I love every bag in her store, if you need a handbag, Holly has you set...don't believe, go see for yourself and prepare to be amazed. 

Well I'm off for now...there's a glass of lemonade with my name on it. Ciao for now...Huggies GG

However, for now I will just give you a glimpse of my closet and style, until I'm more comfortable, bare with me I really don't think it will take that long...*crosses fingers.

My introduction....

Sooo Crazy...this is my first post of my first blog...yay me!!!  Okay first let's get the formalities out of the way, allow me to introduce myself, my name is GenysisGwynn, but if you call me that I will not answer...so, please meet GG. GG is an enigma, I am sassy, sophisticated, I'm hood and around the way girl, I am a fashionista, and Casual Cassie all in one, but to know me is to love me and on some days..want to ring my neck, but I'm extremely loyal and sensitive, I'm a girl's girl, loves to shop, fascinated with fashion, and a slave to stilettos. and I created this blog, to give those who work really hard without much recognition a platform, feel free to send me tips, tricks, pointers, and helpful suggestions.  Remember, I'm new to this club, I may stumble, I may trip, but, even if I fall, I always get back up to do it all over again. I thank you in advance for taking the time to read my rants, and I hope you like the part of me that I'm sharing, along with the clothes, shoes, hair, and accessories. Well...here goes everything...
