Tristan's Princess & Ballet Slippers

Typo wearing Milady Lilia

Another lovely portrait that I recieved. Typo is wearing the Milady Lilia for her wedding dress and bouquets were done to match this in gold and ivory she completed the ensemble with the gold ballet slippers with roses & diamonds and the Princessa long curls.

*Ballet Slipper Update*

On one of the last patches something changed that no longer allows you to delete an item in the contents, something I used to do with shoes when I didn'tt want the walk.
Originally I had made these with a scripted walk at a customers request but now have had alot of requests for the shoe without the walk. If you purchased these shoes and would like it without the walk please contact me

Fairy Goodness

Xanna wearing Plum Fairy

I have had a miserable few days being sick with the flu, its been bed rest for me mostly with a a couple hours here and there trying to finish a wedding gown for a bride who was getting married monday. Thankfully I was just about done when I got sick. I logged in this evening just to check messages and I received this lovely photograph from Xanna, it really captured the essence of what his outfit was about when I initially envisioned it.

The photo has a very whimsical, story book feel ...A tiny fairy resting as she tends her gardens. Will the fairy prince find her and rescue her before the eveil toad whisks her away? Makes me want to turn to the next page in the book to read more of the story.

She was a form of life & light

She was a form of life & light
That seen became part of sight...
Yes, love indeed is light from heaven;
A spark of that immortal fire.
Secret Garden Wedding V1
This first gown is not a revamp but a new design that evolved from the Secret Garden series at a request from a customer who wanted it as a wedding gown. This gown went through a few transformations as the customer wanted a cathredal length train for it. I have to say after alot of fits I was thrilled with the end result.The dress has a light gossamer feel that exudes luxury and feminity. There are prim roses with diamonds encircling the semi sheer bodice and the delicate sleeves. The bodice also has layers that can be added so if you choose for the ceremony it can be more opaque. There is a cathredal length gown and I also have made a reception gown with out the full train, that is a bit more manageable. The veil has a white rose wreath and an over veil that can be removed after the ceremony. There are 2 bustles one long for the ceremony and one for reception. Available now at my main store only on the Island of ImagineNation. Please IM me if you wish to view the gown before purchase.

Snow & Update days...Blahhh

Ok for the record I HATE update days, and I also hate the cold and its been freezing in California, we even had snow by the beach for the first time in 20 years! Check out the video.
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=local&id=4929652

I do understand that we need some downtime and fixes but of late the fixes seem to be less of an improvement and more a stumbling block. Its far and few between that the days we have an upgrade it goes smoothly and often takes days for things to normalise, by the time we do another update day is here. Am I saying anything new not really but just needed to rant.

New Feature in todays update include:

Improved Search function - I hope so search has been broken on & off for weeks and been working intermittently.

Next and previous button functions for the classifieds - Not sure if this was really a necessary feature but it does help make browsing bit easier & cleaner.

Non copy items are returned to inventory - I thought we always had this one but seems like somewere along the way it stopped working as it did so glad its fixed hopefully it will help with the inventory items that people seem to just have vanish.

There been a sandbox time limit and autoreturn added.

Report Bug has been moved to tools menu for those of you who may need to use it, it hasnt gone missing.

There are a few more but these were the ones that stood out to me. A lot of fixes, substantially more fixes then new features, that makes me feel a little better about having so a long down day.

The first hour or so seemed a bit rough, with a few annoying bugs, but things seemed to have stabilised so hopefully things will go well for the week

Revamping & some design thoughts

The Bridal salon is slowly coming together, I have done bridal gowns since I started designing mostly as custom orders for some wonderful customers who inspired me to help bring their visions to life. For a variety of reasons, I never got the wedding gowns into the shop and then flexis came and I have had alot of revamping to do.
Initially I was kinda bummed about having to redo all the work but ultimately I think it was for the best as the designs are much stronger and fluid then some of my initial work. I think sometimes when your rushing
and are very focused on the intial design process you miss alternatives.
I always nit pick things to death when I am working but if I am able to leave a design sit for a while and come back to it with a fresh eye, I find I am able to see things differently that may just make that needed change. I am always trying to challenge myself to try and see things differently and push beyond my initial concept.
The above photo is actually of some of the orginal dresses I havebeen reworking. Over the next few weeks Ill be releasing the revamped versions and some completely new designs. Flexis have both been wonderful and a great frustration in this process. On one hand there wonderful as it does give you a bit of softness and fluidity that we just were not able to get before, the bad part is the flying prims in your face when you move and while you can attain softness its not always the kind you want so I find myself struggling trying to achieve a compromise with the limitations and what I see in my head and how I want the dress to feel to me as I design it.
Overall I am reasonably happy with some of the results so far and hope people enjoy them.

Fairy Flower Chairs

Visigoth wearing Milady Gothic Rose

Sometimes even when you speak to people for a brief time they leave you with an indelible impression. I had the pleasure of meeting Visi & Devo in the shop and this is the image that evolved from our brief conversation & the image she sent me.

A little touch of Magic & a Whisper of Romance

Sunset Romance Caliope in Caliope's Sunset wearing Milady in Sunset

A beautiful princess caught in the fading light of the sun as it sets. Her hopes, her dreams await her as she basks in the afterglow. I loved this photo it evoked those magical fairytales I grew up with as a child and all the wonderful places our imagination carries us away to.

Inspiration

Magical Nights

Tracey Lacey

Princess of the Forest

Danner Dosei

I often get asked what inspires me, theres really a myriad of things some really small a flash of color, a movie even something as mundane as a trip to the market.
My biggest inspiration by far is my clients and their feed back, it truly make those times when the long tedious hours of designing can become a joy. I have had such kind words and beautiful images sent to me that I have decided to post some of the photos I have received. Each person has taken their feelings and emotions and expressed them in these images and its been truly a delight to see them express them selves each so differently and in heartfelt ways. It is something that I am truly thankful for and pushes me to work harder.

Magical Night - Tracey Lacey wearing Milady Sunsent
Princess of the Forest - Danner Dosei wearing Milady Sage

Gypsy Garden

This is one of my favorite sets because of the way it can be combined and give you really different looks that carry a different mood to them. The pants combo is little more hip night clubby while the jacket and skirt pieces combined give a more elegant demure look and the sheer pieces are just HOT!. This total set has 15 pieces Im just showing 4 different ways it can be worn but there are many other combos. In addition this set can be mixed with Secret Garden Series and the Scherezade sets.Its available now at my maine store on the Island of ImagineNation.

Scheherazade

Turkey day is done and family has departed so managed to get a few more colors for the Scheherazade series done. I am really loving how this set has come together and just love playing with the hip belt trying to work out different dance combinations.

I saw a gorgeous photo of a sunrise with all these hues of blue, yellow and soft purple and inspired one of the new colors in this series. The gold set is a like a sheer gossamer fabric the photos dont really capture it well. The other 2 colors released today are a soft Ivory & a Midnight blue.

These are available at my Main store only on the Island of ImagineNation. If you would like to see a demo of how this looks and works please do not hesitate to IM me.

Dancing from your heart...

A small preview of the new set Scheherazade. This is a huge set that will give you a variety of looks & will match the Milady series. It has 14 pieces & the best part of all is the interactive dance belt (scripted by Dominus). The dance belt will allow you to choregraph your own unique dances from a series of 10 belly dance moves. This was along time in coming and Im very excited that it has come together so well.

For anyone that dances you know a dance is learning the steps, a vocabulary from which you then take your words and form your story. The story can change depending on your mood, your audience but it is an expression of yourself. What we have been able to do is create a system that allows you to do that. The scripted hip belt has a series of 10 belly dance moves it allows you to use a menu system to instantly change you dance move. So with a little practice of learning the moves you are able to choregraph a unique performance and chorgraph it to a song. Curently I have put 2 colors in the store more will follow after the holiday. Please do not hesitate to IM me for a demo on how this works.

False Advertising!

Why do designers significantly alter their advertisements? I love to shop but don't get to as often as would like an the other night I was really in a shopping mood and found a place with some really cute items.

I was all set to buy a few outfits when I get the first one on, the add showed a cute outfit in black satin however the outfit I got was a blechy dark gray, then I look at the back and the back has reds and greens in it and is so over saturated there is no detail. The designer obviously had misrepresented the outfit but what I dont get is if they could take the time to correct the add why not just fix the garment in the first place?

Needless to say very disappointing and I wont be buying from there again. I have to say it defeats your purpose to misrepresent your product and not show the back of something because its flawed. Consumers do see that and word gets around, so any initial gains you may get from it are lost because your losing repeat business.

As a designer I would much rather people say that the item looks better then the picture then be disappointed and upset. As a customer I get aggravated and annoyed.

So please dont adjust your adds to the point they dont match what your selling! Ok thats my rant for the day.

Hibiscus **New** addition to the Secret Garden Line
