Green and Blue Mix, With Just a Touch of Glitter

This is one set of sleeves showing the glitter detail

Green and blue is one of my favorite color combinations. Add a touch of sparkle and shine, and it looks just fine :) Evie's Closet has a beautiful gown set called Aventine in this glorious color mix of jewel tones. It's made to look like the colors are blended together with a touch of iridescence and tiny sparkles here and there. I also love the fact there are so many mix and match pieces, including a shorter skirt, short and long pants, two choices of sleeves, and two choices of longer skirts. My favorite is the longer pants with the shirt, which is casual yet classy. As always the detail is amazing and the fit is wonderful!

Breezy Easy

I love Evangeline Miles' design called Nereida. It wears so well and the fit is outstanding, plus the fabric is soft and breezy. I purchased it in Coral, but it also comes in Pearl, Seafoam (bright blue), Anemone (Periwinkle), Wasabi (green) and Flotsam (black) . I just love Evie's Closet because every one of her designs is beautiful in some way. Whether it's the color tones (including the way she mixes colors in one outfit), the detailed trims, the cut, or the way the design fits and flows on the body, she definitely continues to create the highest quality and truly original pieces. Nereida is an example of how good the fit is, plus the mix of colors used and the way the skirt hangs and flows is lovely. When you purchase one of the designs, you get a short and long skirt, along with optional pants to go with the shorter skirt. Even the arm wraps in a sheer feminine fabric are gorgeous! I bought a few other pieces when I visited Evie's Closet, so I'm sure I'll be featuring them soon, so stay tuned :)

Bye Bye Butterfly

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies...

The end of summer and warm, sometimes HOT days are soon gone. I don't want to say goodbye to all the lovely butterflies flitting through the sky! With all their beauty and so many fashions that include them, I just had to do a butterfly blog before summer is completely gone :D

A butterfly hovers closely
And then quickly moves away,
Swiftly going wheresoever
Her heart may freely say.

A butterfly lowers and rises
With the wind's gusty breath,
As if coupled within a dance
Of a loving tenderness.

I thought the butterfly headpiece above was such a cute idea! It's so bright, cheerful and seamless, plus the feature of being able to change ALL the butterflies (skellyflies that is...the butterflies have tiny skeleton heads, hehe) wings to different colors/shapes is wonderful. That way you can match just about any outfit, or not match, whatever your heart so desires.

I thought this skin from Redgrave was so pretty. She has so many makeup choices in such a good variety. They're not all just eye shadows and liners, but she also adds tears, smears, and nice designs like the one above. Alot of unique choices, plus her skins are amazingly realistic!

The butterfly only knows
How it feels to have wings,
To kiss the petals of flowers
In such elegant flitterings.

To have but one moment Of such an exquisite flight, Would be like a dream Where all seems so right.

RED ALERT: Elf in the City

It's time I leave the forest and go to the big city for a visit. I knew I had to find something besides hunting and casual elven faire, so I chose a chic, sexy red mini I had purchased the other day when I was in my blue mood...I did manage a red dress :P It's perfect! Stylish, modern and a little more befitting of the metropolis I planned to visit.

Made of a high quality textured satin, the beautiful dress shimmered in the city lights.

Even waiting for a taxi can look sexy...the back of the dress was cut and fit well.

The lovely shade of red stood out against a graffiti wall.

Relaxing at the hotel at the evening's end was comfortable in the dress.

Time to return home to the forest. What a fun day and night, but I wouldn't trade my home for anywhere else in the world.
