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!

"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 ;)
