Jewelry Expo Picks

Jewelry Expo is here at last. So much gorgeous jewelry, and so little...... cash. My picks are therefore very much limited by my budget. I was drooling over everything in the Lassitude and Ennui stand but alas, had to leave empty handed. Somehow I think I will be going back though.

Fortunately, there are lots of great freebies - Alienbear, Cailyn's, Caroline's Jewelry and Amaretto are just a few of the stands I can think of offhand that are worth a visit for the freebies alone.

Congratulations to Miriel and everyone who has worked so hard to make this a successful event. Compared to other events of a similar scale, the lag was minimal.

All of the releases at Paper Couture's stall are exclusive to the Expo. This is the stunning Antique Pearl Choker set, and there a quite a few impressive rings too.

From boing fromage, the Lady Cameo set. Affordably priced, the set comes with gold and silver cameos and in two styles.

From Illusions, the "Gothica" Earrings and Necklace in Tarnished / Cherry Amber. Siyu Suen is a freaking genius, and I defy you to walk away from her stall empty handed (well the freebie on offer there will prevent that anyway!).

Also from Illusions, the Sacred Heart Set in Sterling (worn with the matching Goth Cowboy Hat which I LOVE)

Everyone is raving about the Chatelaine Shoulder Brooch and Chain from Muse, and rightly so. This is quite possibly Caliah's best work yet.

From Miam Miam, the Charm Medallion Necklace. It's adorable AND big, gotta love that. Click it to cycle through four different metal options.

The Sharp-Dressed Soiree - Upcoming Event

OK we all love getting free shit. Especially when that free shit is in the form of vouchers for some of the most popular stores in SL. The Sharp-Dressed Soiree is a fashion challenge event run by the The Hatbox Girls of Simone! Supermodels (which is a whole other contest but never mind).

The details are as follows:

"We challenge your readers to prove their style superiority! The winner of the following challenge will win a L$1500 gift certificate toward a shopping spree at Simone!, Calico Creations, or Silentsparrow. On top of the gift certificate, the winner of the challenge will receive a personalized high-fashion photo shoot shot by a professional SL photographer and a resident spotlight on the Second Life Insider blog. What more could a budding Second Life fashion icon ask for?

THE CHALLENGE:
Create a sinfully stylish ensemble using the creations from the following boutiques:
- Simone!
- Calico Creations!
- Silent Sparrow

The lady or gentleman who creates the best ensemble using the creations of these three talented designers will receive the prizes listed above.

The first and second runners up will receive a personalized photo shoot as well as a L$500 gift certificate to the featured store of their choice.

DJ Vyviel Vella will be spinning vintage and modern swing all event long. There will be dancing, fashion trivia, and random prizes!

We hope to see you there! You have a L$1500 gift certificate to win and nothing to lose!"

The event will be held at the Calico Creations Main Shop in Calico City on Saturday, June 2nd, 2007 from 2:30 PM - 5:30 PM Second Life Time. I will probably be sleeping (damn Australia!) but if I could enter, my outfit would probably look something like this:

Silent Sparrow Delphinium in Cream, Simone Mink Boa, Calico Creations Ember III in Midnight

Oh yeah, I kinda found it hard to pull something together using the Calico Creations, Simone and Silent Sparrow stuff in my wardrobe because my avatar is a guy most of the time now, but I still think I am rockin' it and would more than likely win.
