Mother Nature in various colors and in the mainstore!!

2009-09-02T14:17:00.000-07:00

Ohhhh...now you can buy the Rezzables inspired dress, Mother Nature, in a variety of colors!

Rezzable Swanson Elements Gown is finally in the mainstore...and in so many colors! Autumn, Earth, Frost, Leaf and Plumeria!

Staged Skin and Fashions Gown is inspired by Mother Nature and embodies the elements of Earth and Air. Warm autumn leaves cradle the breasts as branch like vines twist around the body gently. A beautiful jeweled center piece between the breasts adds flare. Soft and sheer fabric intertwines with the vine as it gently falls across the body. Vines around the upper arms have leaves that flutter as you move. A leafy undergarment is visible through the soft and flowing fabric as your eyes move down the body. This undergarment is created from the same warm leaves and thick branches and it cut in a sexy thong style in back. An optional Leaf layer for the dress evokes the element of air and wind. This gown comes with in all layers, with or without arm vines, and optional Bikini.

Coco Chanel Tribute Outfits!

2009-08-21T12:16:00.000-07:00

Oh, I have beautiful things to show you today!

Staged participated in the BOSL Tribute to Coco Chanel, with not one outfit but two!!

A gorgeous jeweled cross top, leather pants and some seriously hot gloves complete the look. Super sexy and perfect for those bad girls who love to look naughty with a serious touch of class.

The next one is breathtaking. It is a gorgeous deep plum color, flexi plum and white skirt, with a choice of wearing it with or without the ruffled collar, neck and sleeve cuffs. Any way you wear it, you can't go wrong. From the moment I tried on this outfit I refused to take it off for the entire day.

Both outfits are now available at Staged's main store.

Cerra is finally here...and she is gorgeous! She comes in two tones - Tanned and Pale and with....12 different makeups...ranging from natural and pretty to dramatic and sexy for those late night events. The makeups are lush, shimmery and metallic all the way to soft, pretty and "barely there" look.

Cerra also comes with two options shaved and not shaved because well, we all have a preference.

The body shading is just right with the stomach being my personal favorite part. It is ...truly a sexy tummy. I am personally a collarbone girl and Dezi did not leave me disappointed...sexy and just right.

So Much to Blog About!!

2009-03-06T21:53:00.000-08:00

Sorry!!!! So Sorry been so busy i haven't even had time to come and blog all the crazy thats been going on with the store! From moving to my new mainstore in Al Qahirah to practicipating in my very first SL Fashion Show!!! So with all these things i need to blog...let me go ahead and start ;)

Well First things first I have started making clothing 1 month ago. My totally amazing and wonderful best friend SySy Chapman pushed me to finally step out of my comfort zone with my skins and try creating apparel. All i can say is "THANK YOU SYSY!!!! MUWAH!" I have created a little bit of everything. Exploring the possibilities as i try to find my voice in SL fashion! Here are some things that I have created this month starting with the new release that i just put out like seriously 2 min ago.

This is the Casino Mini Dress! A sexy little strapless number that is handdrawn and made with lots of love. It hugs the curves in all the right spots and comes in 9 fabulous colors!!! Really a fun dress. Each Color is $170L.

I have a few other short dresses as well!

The Slink Dress has been a huge hit with customers! This sexy number is cut in all the right spots to give you an edge, sexy and sophisticated look. Handcrafted with love and lots of patience it comes in 9 fun colors. For only $150L why not buy a few more colors?

The Zipper Dress is one of my personal favorite! I was having a day of Zipperness and decided to create a strapeless dress that could also be work as a long haltertop. With this in my head the Zipper Dress was born. This funky little dress is fashionable and fun. With choice of dress or long tank it is a versitle peice for your SL wardrobe. At $150L a pop its not hard to see why people come back to grab another one of the beautiful 6 colors.

This sassy number is the Print Dress. Shown here in all colors avalible this little dress comes with stockings and scarf for the low price of only $150L!! A blast from the past when worn with retro styled hair. In 4 blindng colors you might have to wear shades.

One of the most poular clothing creations as of late was my Embroiderd Dress Set:

The Embroiderd Dress Set comes with 3 beautiful options. A short mini dress, a flowing spring dress or a blouse! This handdrawn beauty comes complete with sculpted sleeves. Its avalible in 8 stunning colors.

also released was a few more casual items of Jeans and Jackets. Learned alot about the maps of the bottom of the body when creating these jeans ;)

Jeans come in tons of colors and jackets as well. The jackets are a photo/hand drawn combination. With careful crafting they work perfectly with the "Favorite Jeans". Jeans and Jacket are sold seperatly and run only $95L a pop.

Now on to the "Show". I decided oneday to try to make a gown. Not knowing what the heck i was doing i let my imagination take me as i crafted what is now know as the Frill Gown. The Frill gown is to me a fantasy gown that is as versitle as it is beautiful. This gown has 12 options for wear!!! Can we say getting more bang for the buck??? ($550L per color or $1,500L for the fat pack).

Here the Frill Gown is being shown in Blue. In the image below you can see Labella Forcella modeling the Black Version in todays Casino Royale Fashion Show!!

Labella Forcella is wearing the Black Frill Gown in the leaner Ballgown version. When she walked out she took my breath away. This dress with the frilled collar was one I had been so excited to see on the Runway. Labella Forcella wore it with such grace and beauty...as the one who designed it all i can say was "Spectacular". She is also modeling the Kristin skin in Spanish Lace. Kristin Skin was released 1 week ago and comes in 12 stunning make-ups.

Made for the Casino Royale Fashion Show I created the 007 Cocktail Dress's. This Dress is 2 in 1 (yes yes i love things that can be more then one thing. I was a transformers kid).

This dress can be worn long and lean with the slight mermaiding at the feet or as a short and sassy cocktail dress. It comes in 7 vibrant colors that are a punch to the retina. Below is a picture from todays Casino Royale Fashion Show where the beautiful Rhi Rossini wore the 007 Cocktail Dress in Blue.

Rhi Rossini was spectacular in this dress! You can see here the lace is in a complimentary color and the dress comes with a sculpted lace shawl. With 2 options to wear its a steal at the low price of $375L. She is wearing my Kate skin in Ocean Bollywood.

you can check out more pics from the Casino Royale Show here on Flickr!

First Post for Staged Blog!

2009-02-05T09:20:00.000-08:00

Well first and foremost I would like to thank you the reader for taking time to stop by and check in on Staged Skin and Designs Blog. I have just started moving into the business world of Secondlife and am happy to bring my artistic dreams alive through this company.

My goal is simply to create beautiful unique skins and clothing that will made every person feel like they are center stage. I have worked long and hard creating the first skins that i have released just last week. Each one has their own unique personality that I hope people will enjoy getting to know.

Alliyah is the exotic ebony beauty who has a vibrant personality and lucious lips.

Danielle is a sporty chic type beauty, she can go from playing volleyball to a formal dinner without missing a beat.

Then there is Kate who has a warmth and glow with a touch of highfashion flare.

Michelle while embodying a more innocent and youthful tone can surprise you with her spunk.

I am happy to say that this weekend we will welcome a new face to the Staged Skins line.

Elizabeth. Elizabeth is your outdoor gal who's bronzed look is sure to catch your eye. Beautiful make-ups ranging from natural to club she will be sure to steal more then one second glance.

Clothing is also soon to be showing up at my store but i will leave that for another post. Thank you all for stopping in and seeing what is being created at Staged Skin and Fashion. Much love to everyone!!!
