Kubla Khan .. Ladies of the Celestial Court

I have always been a Coleridge fan and while building my first all mesh jewellery set things sort of got out of hand.  The new Xanadu set, releasing today both inworld and on marketplace, includes earrings, necklace as well as hair pins.  In addition to being my first all mesh design, this is also the first Dahlinks Mesh Hud driven jewellery set.  With 3 gem, 3 metal and 3 pearl options, you can choose which style best suits you and 'your demon lover'.

500L for the complete set and available now in world at the Main Dahlinks Store and through the SL Marketplace

Happy Styling

Blogging for the New Year ~MISS INDONESIA~ MVW Design for 2014

It has been a long time since I blogged anything but new releases from Dahlinks, so when the fabulous Mimi of Mimi's Choice asked if I would like to blog the MWV 2014 Miss Indonesia gown from Pixivor Allen of ALAFOLIE I jumped at the chance.  

The gown was originally designed for MVW 2014's Miss Indonesia but tragically never had a chance to shine on the runway.  And tragedy is the right word, this mesh based design fits beautifully and flows with your movement.  The scripted hud allows you to choose from 6 different styling colour options. With a simple click you can co-ordinate the skirt, bodice fascinator and crystal accents to suit your mood. I would also like to suggest that anyone looking for a unique wedding dress should try the demo for this design.  The 'white' option shimmers with the glory of the arctic lights... Or perhaps the sheen found on high quality mother of pearl.

Speaking on pearls, the Pearl Necklace I am wearing is the NEW GROUP GIFT at MIMI'S CHOICE  also from ALAFOLIE.  As a jeweler in SL, I haven't worn other people's glittery designs since 2008. That having been said, when Mimi sent me the AlaFolie gift from Mimi's Choice I had to show it off. *Shakes her hand at the sky* Damn you Mimi! Preying on my weakness for Pearls should be a crime.  *Mutter grumble* And Pixivor has done an amazing job on these, a must have for any woman's SL wardrobe*mutter grumble* :)

Combined here with earrings, rings and bracelets from Dahlinks, and one of my go to formal hair styles from Emo-tions

Dahlinks @ FFL - Shopping for a Cause

Ever since I opened Dahlinks in January 2008, I have been involved off and on with the Fashion Fairs that support various charities around SL.  This year, after plotting with the amazing Harper Beresford, Dahlinks managed to slip into the ginormous Fashion For Life fair that is running from the 10th to the 20th of March in order to raise funds for the American Cancer Society throught RFL.

So without further ado, onto the new and improved designs released at the fair...

Version 2 of the Chloe Back Pearls

The favourite pearls of SL's greatest Fashion DJ Ms Sofia Diage and now scripted to colour change. 8 of the most loved Dahlinks pearl colours in one set and now with resizing script. Only 250L at the FFL Fair. All proceeds go the American Cancer Foundation.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20Zeit/37/86/25

Oh yeah 8 of the most loved Dahlinks pearl colours a resizing script. Only 125L at the FFL Fair. All proceeds go the American Cancer Foundation.  @http://slurl.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20Zeit/37/86/25

New Pearl Bracelets

People have been asking me for pearl bracelets for years. So I finally decided to turn out a new set. Featuring not only 8 of the most loved Dahlinks pearl colours in one set but also 8 new Dahlinks metals including Black Steel, Silver, Gold, Brass, Copper, Titanium, Green Steel and Rose Gold. Only 200L at the FFL Fair. All proceeds go the American Cancer Foundation.  @ http://slurl.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20Zeit/37/86/25

Flowers for Madeline

The Flowers for Madeline Dress ring is the only RFL vendor item that is not a new release for this fair but the story behind it lends itself to the idea of the fair. 35 years ago my father passed away due to Cancer. Last year my mother, Madeline, joined the love of her life. That is a long time to wait to be with the one. This ring was created in her honour. All proceeds go the American Cancer Foundation.  @ http://slurl.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20Zeit/37/86/25

New Halloween Set - Ride a Pale Horse @ Opium Haunted House Show

So last weekend the Absolutely Fabulous Ana and Maddox from Opium gave a few of us a sneeky peek into the build they have for their Halloween Aniverssary show.  Okay... these incredibly talented people have just raised the bar again when it comes to producing an entertaining fashion event!  If you love fashion and spectaculars in SL then you really must see this.  I was so impressed I pulled out the puppy dog eyes and convinced Ana that Dahlinks just had to be a part...
