What is your secret to blending timeless and

trendy styles?

My secret ( if there is one) would be I look at things to

see if they relate to each other. One can over style and

ruin a look.

How do you recognize if something is trend

versus something that is going to last?

LOL thats Easy do you see anyone still wearing Acid

wash Jeans! Classic items are defined By Cut,

Proportions and Craftmanship.

What is your favorite source of style inspiration?

Ahh the Public Library so look at old fashion Archives

and knowing wat fits my personality. When you walk

into a room people should see you in total. Not just

what you are wearing.

What do you find most stylish in a woman?

I find that her personality is Stylish her Dialog. She

could be wearing a Flour Sack but if her

personality is Fabulous she will most definitely

standout in a crowd.

Who is the most stylish woman you know?

OMG soo Many of course the obvious would be my RL

Mom. But so many Icons i admire Daphne Guiness,

Michelle Obama, Tina Chow to name just a few.

What are your tips for achieving a personal style?

Know who you are and dress to suit what best suits

You. Dont follow others. Be unique as much as you can .

What is glamour today?

Wow on so many levels Glamour to me may be different

from what you feel might be Glam. Glamour can be

flawless skin or well groomed hair but all I know is you

will know it when you see it :)

What items should every woman have in her

closet?

A TRENCHCOAT and a Little black Dress and a classic

Pair of Black Stiletto pumps and Nude lip gloss. Mix it

up these items with anything and you will

Shine :)) Day or Eve.

What is your favorite article of clothing?

A Crisp white Shirt that i can Dress up or

down from Casual to Eve wear. The Imagination is

Endless :)

Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

On the streets of NYC i'm inspired by soo Much as well

as Im a movie buff so i look at old movies and costumes

and go from there. :))

Anyone who knows modeling

and runway, typically knows

and loves Finesmith Designs.

Models often wear Finesmith

Jewelry because this is no

sissy jewelry, it doesn’t hide

beneath the clothes that are

modeled, it makes a unique

display all its own, giving the

clothes an added addition of

chic styling.

Caoimhe Lionheart wearing Finesmith Holiday Tale white

How often have you worn a

really beautyful outfit, put on

jewelry and the jewelry just

has no impact and does not

improve the style of the

clothes you are wearing at

all. With Finesmith, you can

rest assured this won’t

happen.


Ms. Yula Finemith is an

inpirational, funny and very

creative person and such a

dear friend to so many. I once

read an article about Ms.

Yula and she mentioned how

she draws her inspirations

from real life sculpture.

It is easily seen in the

attention she gives to her

jewelry. Nothing is flat and un

inspirational, all of her

jewelry invokes passion.

Jax Aster wearing Finesmith Heartology Necklace and Wings

Jax Aster wearing Finesmith Monogamous Brooch

I feel her works are created

to add life and symmetry to

your avatar, making the

viewers eyes pan over your

entire body not just your face

and it is truly akin to wearing

a work of art.


Showing you some of the

artwork Yula has been busy

creating here, we think you

will agree, there is just

something here for everyone.

These pieces include the

more haute style pieces to

the mainstream gorgeous

But in all cases, the attention

to detailing, the casual yet

elegant creativity, and the

bold fashion statement are all

entwined in every piece of

jewelry Finesmith creates.

WRITTEN BY DRAAKJE DAILEY AND CAOIMHE LIONHEART

PHOTOGRAPHY: ASIA RAE, CAOIMHE LIONHEART & THATI BOUCHER

Hi, you can call me

Keevah, or as most do Lil

Cao, moo. When I first

became serious about

modeling in Second Life

and started actually

finding designs to style, I

kept running into another

model named Draakje

Dailey. When I first met

her I vainly thought she

must be stalking me. But

after time, I realized, my

“little dragon”, as her

name affectionately means, has

been literally everywhere! I’ve heard

a rumor that she has actually even

made it to the end of the Internet!

Can you imagine? It took her four

TP’s and one crash to make it back!

So I am sure you can imagine the

usefulness of a friend with enough

knowledge I nickname her my mall

directory. So together we will be

bringing this column about the

current fashion trends, fashion finds

and just things we think are pretty

darn cool!

ru

has a

made

of t

Hi, my name is Draakje, but most

just call me Draa or D. I'll be the

first to tell you I have a severe

shopping addiction and I love to

always share my finds with those

around me (finds as in landmarks

or store names, nooo touchy the

shoes or wee dragon will breath

fire). Running into Cao time after

time after time didnt make me think

I had a stalker, it made me think I

had found a kindred soul, someone

as passionate about fashion as I

was. And I was right! Together we

have searched, hunt down and

found some of the best items the

grid can provide and we would to

share with you all (again, the

landmarks and store names, nooo

touchy the shoes, or the bags, or

the hairs for that matter).

"I’ve heard a

rumor that she

has actually even

made it to the end

of the Internet!"


The day turned out much the

same as always for me. I woke a

little sleepy, but after a double

latte and an hour fingering

through my closet, I figured out

what I wanted to wear for my

splurging day of shopping. Going

for comfort on this chilly day, I

chose .Shi’s “Atti” sweater with its

really cool leather harness, I

layered beneath for added warmth

with brown tartan tights from

Maitreya, and created a splash of

color with the addition of the

“Running Free” skirt from Emery

in a luscious pink (belt included).

To complete the chic style, I am

wearing Osmose’s “Jeux

d’enfants” hairs, a groovy pair of

*+Crie Style+* “Kabuki”

sunglasses, and Maitreya Mesh

leather boots in a scrumptious

brown.

Typical of little dragon’s, Draakje

never gets tired that I’ve ever seen.

Of course, I think anyone who can

shop 15 hours a day is an avatar

worthy of superhero status. Always

the glamor girl, Draakje has chosen

to wear the Bliss Basic Chim pants

with leg warmers and the classy

Bliss Couture Bayonne fur coat in a

lovely gray. Her hair is from the

Vaya Con Dios “Express Yourself

Collection,” her glasses Leverocci

and her dangly hooped silver

earrings are “Rinne” from the new

collection at Mandala. To complete

this uptown elegance, Draakje

carries her Lindens in the new

Gizza Mesh clutch bag in Black.

TREND Magazine 68

After a few hours and purchases

later, I do what any girl dying to

wear her new outfits does, I change

into them in the dressing room!

Going for a little more sophisticated

look I changed into H.Luzza’s

“Skidrow” dress in a warm rich

shade of brown and topped it with

the jacket from *Diram*’s “Marry the

Night.” I am all business with my

Tres Beau pinstripe leggings and

Maitreya Devi boots in brown. The

completing details for this shop ‘til

you drop outfit is hair styled by

Vanity Hair, in the “Irina” fashion,

*+Crie Style+* “Scioilto” sunglasses,

Mandala’s Kabuki necklace and an

adorable purse, Baiastice’s “All

Days” bag.

Draakje changed halfway through

the day too, it appears. What can

we say? Shopping day is like

waking up to Christmas day, only

you like all the gifts you buy for

yourself! In her second wind she is

wearing a gorgeous mesh pantsuit

called “Kelley” in velvety night

shade. This is an item from a new

design house called coldLogic. Her

sleek hair style is Lelutka’s QCX

hair in the BlondeFun shade. To

complete this stylish offering, She

has on Paper Couture’s Etched Bell

earrings, and a pair of kicky little

boots, Maitreya’s “Radical” boots in

Red Reptile. This look is perfection if you are looking for something that will

transition from day to night with ease, at night simply throw on a high

waisted jacket and you go from classy to evening elegance in the blink of an

eye!

TREND Magazine 70

Well, hours of exhaustion and

shopaholic high later, Draakje

and I did meet up with each

other. Draakje is now wearing

Gizza’s Slim jersey top in black,

a pencil thin mesh skirt in cotton

gray, with the new super glam

Gizza mesh sweater. Her

gloves, mery, also mesh, are

from Celoe, her stockings

“Caprice” are Angel Dessous,

and her boots are the Maitreya

Devi boots. To give this fab look

its finishing touches, her hair is

Baiastice “Marie” hair

attachment and some groovy

glasses from Kalnins “Rudens”.

I am dressed for a fun evening

in Hot Pink Glitter pants from

Leezu! and the fringe leather

vest in black and pink, to die for,

is from Glam Affair. My “Ikna”

crocodile purse is from Baiastice

and my jewelry from Mandala.

This hair is styled by Miamai,

the gorgeous hot pink

“Precarious Platform” shoes

were purchased at Ladies Who

Lunch. And, as the final touch,

what Cao would be complete

without the addition of “Jeweler

Horn” from a boutique jewelry

store called [E.C]? Exhausted,

the day done, I am going home

to rest up for next week!

I just wrapped up Nina Garcia's

Book of Style and it was a truly

lovely read. Nina's essentials

are womanly and include luxe

accessories. The gal certainly

has taste. And, as she puts it:

"Go a little crazy. Be a little

dramatic. Have a lot of fun." I

love it as much as the rest of her

books. This woman totally gets it,

the entire idea behind style that

is. Fashion is easy, anyone can

buy it but style is a bit tricky. Nina

Garcia totally makes the style

part accessible to everyone.

Besides a fact that her book is

awesome and fun, I wanted to

share with you a story about the

Little Black Dress (LBD) that I

came across in her book.

The LBD is the ultimate blank

canvas. It is always mysterious

and chic, understated and

provocative.

In its simplicity, it makes you look

effortlessy stylish. In its

sophistication, it makes you look

endlessly elegant. The little black

dress is the dress that is going to

let you shine. It is going to flatter

you, but it is not going to detract

from the rest of you. It lets your

hair, your accessoiries, and your

personality take center stage.

And.... omg, let's not forget the

slimming effect! The LBD is not

simply an item of clothing... it is a

concept. It is abstract, it is

universal. It means there’s one

that is perfect for everybody. In

fact, the LBD is a misnomer:

everyone wears her differently.

The Second Life Fashionista has

several little black dresses, just

as she has several ball gowns,

several pair of jeans: each is a

variation on a theme.

......

The LBD is an open secret: we

all know it will save us whatever

the situation, and whatever the

season, the time of the day, the

man ... Why? Because the LBD

is the epitome of sexy and

elegance. Which is not a

contradiction in terms.

How do we wear a LBD?

The essential look: Simplicity,

simplicity, simplicity... with a

healthy dose of elegance.

The celeb style: With huge black

sunglasses (1980s-style) and

black ballerina pumps.

Add long black gloves for winter,

and you are all set for breakfast

for Tiffany’s a la Holly Golightly.

Every woman has her LBD.

Suddenly, there it is, all alone on

the clothes rack. The perfect

LBD just made for you. There is

one in every store, boutique,

fashion fair..., waiting to become

the key item in your wardrobe.

Let me tell you the story behind

the LBD: The fashion history

credits Coco Chanel with

inventing the little black dress in

1926. It represents all that

Chanel stood for: Comfort,

practicality, and self-assured

sexiness. Yet women had been

wearing little black dresses long

before. It should be noted,

however, that it wasn’t until the

1920s that the black dress

became a fashion statement,

and not a dress simply for

practicality or mourning. And for

that, we must give it up to Mme

Chanel… When Paul Poiret

came up to her in one of her first

little black creations, he asked,

""HHooww ddoo wwee wweeaarr aa LLBBDD??""

TREND Magazine 78

“For whom, Madame, do you

mourn?” She cheekily

responded, “For you, Monsieur.”

And we should also give it up to

Mme Chanel for coming up with

the moniker of “little black dress”

while she was criticizing her

fashion rival Elsa Shiaparelli.

“Scheherazade is easy,” she

noted. “The little black dress is

hard.” … Yes the little black dress

had been in existence for

centuries, but where it was one

an item of practicality and

solemnity, it is now a sure sign of

power and sensuality. And for

that, we can thank Mme Chanel.”

In my mind, Chanel was a genius

and will forever remain my role

model and hero.

""FFoorr wwhhoomm,, MMaaddaammee,,

ddoo yyoouu mmoouurrnn??""

TREND Magazine 80

Having the ability to experience

the beauty of a little black dress

in a way that Chanel intended us

to is something that every

woman can; and without having

to dish out a down payment on a

house aka cost of a Chanel

LBD.

Finding that little black dress is

hard, but as Nina Garcia notes in

her book, it usually happens

when you least expect it. The

dress finds a girl when she is not

looking and that is exactly what

happened to me. I was browsing

through the shops new arrivals

when these beauties crossed my

hands. Although I do not need a

LBD as I have a lot, I could not

resist at how beautiful and

feminine they made me feel. A

little black dress is the forever

classic wardrobe staple. Find the

perfect one for you and breeze

through the next party. Little

Black dresses are always in

style! Classic, chic and

seasonless- the Little Black

Dress encompasses simple

elegance like no other fashion

piece.

The LBD will make you feel

beautiful and fashionable.

There is something about jeans that

gives a girl an aura of instant style.

They are simple and practical. Sexy

and perfect. Rebellious and elegant.

They are the most versatile, most

perfect item. The most alluring part

about denim is that it can dress

anything down and make even the

most uptight items look relaxed.

I know this isn’t something I’m

supposed to say in this article – but

sometimes I feel like I have too many

pairs of jeans. Not too many because I

don’t want them (clearly I can’t resist)

but too many because I have a

seriously difficult time picking out a

pair each day. Which dark skinnies?

Which color? A flare on friday? Are

boyfriend jeans appropriate for this

brunch? The crop on this pair is not

quite right…

I could go on. And on! You can file this

under „fashion-girl-problems“ for sure,

but come on! I believe that if it really

came down to it, a girl could get by on

just five pairs of jeans... but we have

so many possibilities here in Second

Life.

Let me tell you a bit about the story

behind the denim: In the 1850s, Levi

Strauss started selling rugged blue

jeans to the gold miners in San

Francisco, who needed pants that

were durable and comfortable. In

1873, Jacob Davis, and a tailor from

Reno, Nevada, contacted Strauss with

the idea to rivet the pockets to make

the design stronger. The two men went

into business, patented the improved

pants, and stepped into history. Today

after a hundred years since Strauss

and Davis took out the patent, blue

jeans have grown from being just a

practical pair of pants to being one of

the sexiest and seductive articles of

clothing imaginable.

I’m always thinking of new ways to

wear my jeans-outfits. I have fallen in

love with denim styles. Whenever I’m

dressing up to go out and I have no

clue what to wear, I reach for denim.

My favorite pair of jeans at the

moment, a silky button down and

some heels and I always feel stylish

and put together.

My philosophy is when in doubt, denim

always works.

You can wear everything from a

sequin blazer and black patent pumps

to a faux fur coat with your pair of

jeans. I’m not really a sneakers girl, so

my denim is usually on the dressier

side.

Here is some inspiration to add to your

denim wardrobe.

The designs of Coco, GizzA, Boudoir,

[LWL], BAX, Mandala amongst others

bring an unlikely sophistication to

casual denim.

So below I’ll show you how to wear

this classic denim trend for different

occasions in your second life...

A quaint 19th century renovated

Italian farmhouse stands nestled

within a lush, secluded vineyard

overlooking the sea. The stone and

brick structure is rustic, inviting, and

warm, with timbered doors inviting

visitors to come inside.

Welcome to Del Vino Italian Tapas

and Wine Bar!

Del Vino is the newest restaurant to

open its virtual doors in Second Life.

Co-owned by me, Umberto Giano,

and my managing partner Molly

Kestrel, Del Vino provides patrons

with unique, romantic surroundings

and beautifully crafted and appetizing

food. Pulling all the various elements

of Del Vino together was challenging -

the custom build, the food sculpts, the

textures, landscaping, décor and logo -

but worth all the hard work involved,

because, like in any good meal, only

the finest quality ingredients will

suffice.

THE WINE

The Del Vino vineyard produces its

signature rosso, the Sangiovese del

Boschetto. Descended from the

almost-extinct Calabrese

Montenuovo of Southern Italy, the

Sangiovese grape is thought to

have been used in wine-making by

the ancient Romans. The

Sangiovese is a great wine to savor

with the house specialty, Pizza

Margherita, or enjoyed during

scintillating conversation over tasty

tapas.

The biano, Del Vino's Pinot Grigio is

a golden white wine with a smooth

overtone, a hint of smokiness, and

delicious pear and honeydew

flavors.

The Pinot is perfect with the

assorted international cheeses and

crackers featured in Del Vino's wine

tasting experience or as a delightful

complement to a meal of light tapas.

THE FOOD

Tapas are a wide variety of appetizers or snacks, and

may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or

warm (such as fried calamari). The serving

of tapas is designed to encourage conversation,

because people are not so focused upon eating an

entire meal.

In select bars, as in the case of Del Vino, tapas have

evolved into an entire and often sophisticated culinary

art. While Del Vino's tapas menu reflects recipes and

features common in traditional Italian cuisine, it also

features dishes with an international twist (such as its

ravioli lardo), designed to appeal to all lovers of fine

cuisine. Guests are also offered the House Specialty

(Pizza Margherita) or the Wine Tasting as additional

dining options.

Del Vino's sculpted food was created and arranged by

Emery Milneaux, who says, “Umberto shared real life

photos, menus, and recipes, and I quickly became

inspired. Second Life food tends to be anything but

appetizing in appearance, so I spent a lot of time

texturing and retexturing what I believe to be some of

the best food sculpts on the grid. I approached each

plate of small-bites as a canvas of sorts and paid close

attention to composition. I'm big on details, and details

are to be found on every plate, whether it's a sprig of

mint on top of our panne cotta, a waft of steam rising

from our pizza margherita's crust, or a pool of butter

pea sauce beneath our ravioli lardo.”

THE BUILD

Complementing Del Vino's menu is its

idyllic, pastoral surroundings. The

renovated stone farmhouse Del Vino

calls home is intimate and cozy, with

an atmosphere reminiscent of the old

Italian hillside restaurants. Builder

Coralie Bilasimo explains, “We had

wanted a place where conversation

among friends was just as important

as the food, and the renovation of a

century-old farmhouse fit that romantic

vision.

“Once we had decided on a hillside

setting with the grounds giving way to

the sea, it was easy to create an old

farmhouse with a renovated cellar

beneath.” Coralie's choices of exterior

textures, aged terracotta roof tiles, and

rustic sandstone and brick, relate to

and accentuate the

architectural drama of interior features

such as the plastered walls, dark

wood, exposed beams across the

vaulted ceilings, and wide open

arched windows. “Open arches and a

terrace with the view sprawling before

it became a 'must have' feature that I

really wanted to play up.”

THE DECOR

Emery Milneaux also designed the warm

and charming interior furnishings of Del

Vino. He states, “Sometimes less is more,

and such is often true with restaurant

design. I felt my job was to frame Del

Vino's beautiful stone and wood work. I

paid close attention to texture. Anything

rezzed at Del Vino has an aged,

weathered, or Old-World feel, with the

exception of the white porcelain china.”

His favorite feature, though, is the

lighting, in which he juxtaposes formal

and rustic elements - crystal chandeliers

contained within oversized, rusted

birdcages.

This juxtaposition of contrary elements is

a unifying motif at Del Vino, most evident

in the wine cellar. Reserved for large

parties, the wine cellar's antique tile floor

s

is

nt

r

is warmed by a Turkish rug, and the

intensity of its vintage industrial lighting is

softened by candlelight. These seemingly

conflicting features work together to

invoke the sense that this intimate space,

which wasn't originally intended to

entertain guests, has been transformed

over the years into an inviting area.

“In the end,” Coralie adds, “the

landscaping and decor brought the vision

together. Emery played on a marriage of

old and contemporary styling that invites

you in and delights you, and Frederick

Lancaster's landscaping framed it all so

beautifully. His rural road winding along

the

hilltop, giving way to a vineyard and

rugged coastline, completed that old

world ambiance.”

Jordan Whitt, Editor-in-Chief

ICON Magazine and Too Sexy

MagazineRomantic, classic and tasteful. It's

perfect for a night out with the girls or

for a date with your someone special.

The setting is magnificent with

gorgeous views from the windows,

and the build and decor bring a little

piece of Italy into your Second Life.

As with everything Umberto does,

Del Vino stands up to his high

standards for quality and the

experience of dining there is one I

very much look forward to repeating.

Colleen Desmoulins of The

Loft Home"Cannot begin to tell you how

impressed I was with Del Vino, as

close to a real experience as you can

get within Second Life. The Build is

amazing and the architecture just

sets the tone for the dining

experience to come."

WEDDING BELLS DID CHIME….February 25th 2012 we saw the

wedding between October

Bettencourt , CEO of October

Studios to Ace Karlsvalt.

They joined in marriage at the Laced &

Suited Cathedral, joined by friends and

family with special mention to Paddy

Morales (Bestman) Abraxas Radixal

(Groomsman), Jamie & Haylee Davis

(Flower girls), Honoria Paine, Audrey Cresci-

Muse, Ava Jhamin and Chamonix

Bourdeaux (Bridesmaids) and Nickle

Sparrowtree (Maid of Honour).

The couple met at a Christmas Party hosted

by Ace at his castle on December 17th and

Ace knew that October was the lady for him

when he asked her to be his wife on her

birthday some two months later on February

7th. The bride was wearing a dress from

Utopia and the Bridesmaids were wearing

gowns form Mohna Lisa with jewels from

Chop Zuey. When asked about the part of

the wedding they are most looking forward

to they both agreed it will be when they say

their vows to each other.

Good Luck and congratulations to you both.

CLEO COUTURE premieres new

unique clothing collectionCLEO Couture's new line “CLEO X” is one of

the first collections of clothing that allows you,

the wearer, to give your consent to share

whether you wear them or not with someone

you choose. They have collaborated with a

premiere scripter who has created a ground

breaking exclusive technology now available

ONLY at CLEO X.

Using the RLV technology along with their

special new system, CLEO Couture has

created a collection of clothes that with no

other equipment you can consensually allow

control of your clothing to be controlled by

another person. This allows you a new way to

dress and undress yourself without accessing

your inventory along with sharing that ability

with another person. Their collections include

clothing for both men and women and are for

sale in their shop in Feyador and on The

Marketplace.
