WFW Teaser: House of Rage "Fuerza"

The Winter Fashion Weekend began today!!  You can read all about it here:

PLEASE NOTE:  The photos posted below have been processed in photoshop and to view the originals with true colors you need to visit my flickr by clicking on the pics and looking next to that photo.

Kicking butt in style!!  That's what this outfit makes me feel!  House of Rage has some of the most amazing outfits.  When I first was told that Topaz Joubert, Lybra Rage & LovelyMiwako7399 Menna were teaming up to create their new brand, I knew there would be a lot of power and force behind it.  Everyone of them are amazing at what they already do in SL, and House of Rage has proved to be no different.

The tight fitting, slightly cropped black leggings for this outfit hug the figure to allow for ease of movement and still are comfortable to wear.  Yes...even in SL, something can feel comfortable for me to wear!  The top has a great silver snakeskin print below the bust, with a great line separating the solid black part of the top.  Adding great interest to the wearer is the semi transparent shoulder pieces and sparkling neck piece.  These both make this outfit super high fashion.  And not to be missed is the excellent hair piece complete with the small base that covers one eye, adding to the allure and the great wispy feathers parading along the side.

You absolutely do not want to miss the House of Rage show at Winter Fashion Weekend on December 10th at 6pm SLT!

WFW Teaser: Angel Dessous "Claudine Christmas"

The Winter Fashion Weekend begins tomorrow!!  You can read all about it here:
http://anabellaravinelli.blogspot.com/2011/12/winter-fashion-week-press-release.html

I have the honor of showing you a few items that will be shown during one of the Winter Fashion Weekend shows.  The first gown I wish to bring you is the "Claudine Christmas" gown from Angel Dessous.

This gown is absolutely stunning and certainly very festive!  The skirt has a beautiful pattern of red flowers and other fauna cascading down the sides.  The top of the skirt is surrounded by a poinsettia type array of flowers in the same texture.  The red satin bodice and sleeves are both topped with red sequins and lined in white sequins.  And adding an extra amount of interest is the white feather shoulder boa.  This gown will certainly make you the center of attention at your holiday party!  Or wear it for your holiday card photos :)

House of Rage - A Peek Inside

My dear friends have recently opened their much anticipated clothing line:  House of Rage.  There is raw emotion behind this first release that I believe can be felt even by those who don't know the story behind it all.  I am very honored to have been counted among those who were invited to the opening yesterday and will be doing a 2nd blog post soon detailing the show "Evolution".  But for the time being, allow me to share with you a couple of their designs!

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Regis/223/51/24

"Alone in the Dark..."

House of Rage consists of 3 incredible designers:  Lybra Rage, LovelyMiwako7399 Menna and Topaz Joubert.  The dress just above was created by Lovely and I love the elegance of it.  The great silhouette creates a fun piece to wear that will make you stand out among others wherever you go!

"Breaking Free..."

This gown is called "Anabella" and I feel quite humbled to have one of the first designs named after me!  This particular one was created by Topaz Joubert.  The flowing skirt billows around your legs and I am particularly partial to the sleeves!  I wonder if she can create this gown for me in RL ;)  The hat I'm wearing is also from House of Rage.  It comes in white as well as this black one and there are a few others to choose from as well!

One Item 5 Ways *New* Blogger Challenge - Week One - Animal Print

I am having a lot of fun with the two blogger challenges I've found.  I'm sure there are more out there but they are the only two I have seen.  So, I decided to start a challenge of my own.  If you're interested yay!  If not that's ok too ;)  Anyhow if you join the challenge please put a link to your first post below so I can check it out!

Here is the challenge:  One Item Five Ways

Week One - Animal Print

Each week (hopefully) I'll have a new theme for that one item.  That item must be used in 5 unique outfits.  You can style those 5 outfits any way you want, but they must be different from one another.  This first week the theme is Animal Print.  I chose to use a leopard print top that I wore in my last post.  I'm very excited about this challenge and hope you enjoy it as well!  I will try and put a list together soon, so you can be working on the challenge ahead of time if you want.  If I don't get it up though please check back here on my blog for the new week's challenge.  Have fun!

P.S.  This challenge is not for the faint of heart!  It's a bit involved.  So if you want to take on an easier version, I am open to suggestions ;)

Alphabet Blogger Challenge - A

So I just found another great blogger challenge on Anya Ohmai's blog HERE.  The challenge originated here though:
http://willowzee.com/2011/08/28/alphabet-challenge-were-doin-it-again/

So basically you're supposed to blog items starting with the same letter of the alphabet each post.  For example- the store name, item name or color must begin with the letter you're blogging.  You can stretch it to be creator name if you must.  I decided to focus each post on 1 to 3 stores that begin with the letter A, using items only from those stores.  Except for skin and poses.  I considered skins but that could get super expensive quick!  Anyhow, hope you enjoy!

Playing around with windlight settings...I've started enjoying this more lately.

Yes...I'm blogging...

So I've finally decided to start a blog.  Ana's never been much of a blogger but I do love photography and taking pics so I'll probably have more of that than lots of writing.  Who knows, we'll see.  As of right now I'm just thinking of posting outfits I mix and match together on occasion, and having fun with the photo process of it.  I don't plan on posting every day but who knows, if I do, then I do.  I'll always be sure to include a style sheet as well.  Hope you enjoy!

Starting with an outfit I threw on for the Maniera Pajama Party tonight at 7pm SLT, part of The Mens 24 events!  You can join us here:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/KMADD%20Events/239/127/22
