As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to fill out my wardrobe with party dresses and suitable attire. I am not one for the red/green combos or for looking like one of Santa’s elves. I prefer a more sophisticated look.

This dress from Vitabela Dubrovna fit the bill. Based on her real life designs, Vita’s dresses are beautiful, imaginative, and couture. This lovely dress will take me to several parties, both day and night, with its lovely laces and beading on the bodice and full graceful skirt.

I am wearing Random Calliope’s Wish Set with the outfit. It’s very delicate, very ethereal. The glistening and spark of the tiny prims suit the dress perfectly. His is the standard by which all tiny prim work is judged, still. Lorac Farella’s new Life skins in Warm tone are ideal to go with this, adding the elegance I always want.

Finally, we end with shoes, and these shoes are ideal. Silver with diamonds, buckled and stiletto’d, these heels make this dress pretty and perfect. Jada Humby sells a fat pack of these—I would recommend you get the entire set.

For today I have a very special post for you. The November Releases of Baiastice from the 17th and 24th of November 2009! For me it is a great pleasure and honor to show you all that great creations, especially because Baiastice is on of my favourite labels also

First i woul like to start with the “Revolver Short Jacket”

This Jacket is a totally must have for every fashion girl. A short jacked with amazing shoulder attachments. All over you can see the sweet fringes that give a very stylish touch. and we can see the great details like the 2 buckles on the shoulderpart in the right side. For the hands the whole theme was repeated i 2 great arm and hand parts. On the big picture we can see the “Revolver Short Jacket! in black. But as you can see in the second piture…for every liking there is one color For me it is a nother masterpiece of  Baiastice!  

To coninue with jackets…we have next the “Breitschwanz Jacket”

This jacket comes with 2 options. One has a wider part, the other one a tight body part. Both have the same theme of styling as you can see if you take a closer look at the great texture Sissy Pessoa made and the amazing collar part. The winter is coming and you will need a warm jacket…;-) take a look at the Baiastice Mainstore and you will see that this jacket is also available in more then one color. You will find the great winter colors brown, black and grey. This colors make it possible to combine this great jacket with any other clothing or color you like.

We have jackets to wear now but i am sure we need also some to wear under them Baiastice made some that fits perfect! Let me start with the “GeG-Mini Dress”:

As I opened the folder and put on this awsome dress – and the first i tried was the pink one - I got a totally 80’s back flash! I could not resist as i saw the other color to style it a little bit like that This dress totally catched me. All the great details like an open zipper or the open button at the chest part…also the very well made folds…I totally got addicted..thats why I don’t wanna withhold you all the other great colors!

Even if it is hard to get my eyes off this dress i would like to show you another piece of clothing that fits to the jackets…also to the great dress The “Pyton slim pants”

Did you ever seen such great pants with a python texture?!? The lightning and shadowns of this pants let them shine perfectly!!! You can wear the pants as pants only or even as a leggins under a dress or a hotpants…anyways how this Python Pants from Basiastice will give the best view on a fashionistas well shaped legs. If you find your way to the Mainshop you will not only find the black and blue version I have on my first pic…you will find way more colors to make your legs to the eyecatcher of the evening!

Now we seen a lot of casual stuff and i would like to show you some elegant of the last releases. First the “Audrey in frills”

This outfit comes in 2 different opitions: On the left sinde you can see a version with a fur like seam. All attachments on arms and legs are made with this texture. On the left side you also habe the simple shirt version without the lace part over chest and shoulders but a nice little scarf collar sets the accent on the decollete! For the second version I would like to take the first look on the back. Ther you have a nice skirt with a bow as the option with out the fur parts. This is featuren in the middle of my picture. If you take a look at the right side yu can see the “simple” version front of the dress. The shoulder parts are simple without any fringes like the skirt bow. For this option, I added the lace shirt to give the overall look a cocktail style touch. Also this dress you will find in more colors if you take some time for a shopping tour  at the Baiastice Mainstore!

Last but not least i would like to show you the “Tiffany” dress:

For this dress you can choose between a long and a short version. This dress bribes with its vigoroud colors! Witha also a  great texture with big ornaments this dress makes you  to the center of every situation. The long version looks more playfully and the short version looks more like the casual fashion styled buisness girl. A great black belt with a golden buckle breaks the texture and makes a nice styish accssoire! If you are not a frend of the red tones…no problem…Sissy Pessoa made another 2 amazing colors and iam sure one will fit your likings.

I am not one to wear a lot of jewellery in my posts (as you can confirm), probably because of my rl background with designing it, but sometimes, there are some pieces that are a true  inspiration for me. LaGyo work have that effect over me, this amazing necklace is part of a soon to be released ’skulls’ collection. It is called ‘Dangerous wings‘ and it’s not only hypnotic (can’t stop staring at it) but a statement piece. Truly beautiful. <3 Uma

A Reese Witherspoon Hairstyle you can use simple elegance!

There are many talented actresses, the hair that every woman wants, but the time invested stylist talent and money to preserve and maintain these looks are the things most of us do not have.

But to see a Reese Witherspoon hairstyle really elegant and feminine is very simple. She is known for its classic look and sophisticated style that will always be complemented by the various knownStyles she likes to wear her hair. It has many different views in the past few years, and they can all be done from home with just a few styling products.

A Reese Witherspoon Hairstyle Signature Look

One of her signature look is her long straight hair with a long pony, and it can be copied easily. First application of a gel or spray-frizz agent to keep hair smooth and flawless, and also some definition to the ends. Then run a thorough Straightenerit does not work out kinks, and you end up with a brush to add some texture. This look works great with layered hair while creating a soft look, but can also stick straight hair, that do a bit of life.

One way that keeps Reese Witherspoon is fresh and sophisticated, along with her-dos that can be done with either short or long hair. She is troubled, as a rule at the top or sides of your hair and pins it back to make it smooth and structured, and then the backcan in a number of different styles will be implemented depending on hair type and length. To see with a Reese Witherspoon hairstyle stylish yet casual, this basic style just because they threw in a ponytail or left down for more volume.

Like most famous actresses, Reese Witherspoon also experimented with the BOB, and it was really big for her. It can either be loaded with the left stick just chopped off for a fun look, stratified, or large curls can be added, to change the look a dayNight. Add some spray hairspray or gel together on the locks they hold, without seeking a sticky, or contact your wax on straight ends so they stand out. With a Reese Witherspoon hairstyle to create an attractive new look can be easily done with a bob, because it is very versatile and easy to manipulate.

O poseta mica si eleganta, cu o fata din piele lacuita simpla iar cealalta fata din piele lacuita taiata in romburi. Romburile, mari, ca si toartele, supradimensionate ca lungime, creeaza un contrast neasteptat si placut cu dimensiunile posetei.

Lipsa accesoriilor metalice si a oricaror artificii fac din Lucia o poseta eleganta in simplitatea ei absoluta, ca o mica bijuterie.

Dimensiuni: 30 x 20 x 13cm

Variante de culoare: negru

Pret: 240 lei

It’s been a long time since I have felt truly myself, but in today’s outfit, Harper has reemerged. I am in my skin, I am surrounded by hundreds of beautiful prims, and I am dressed elegantly.

I am wearing one of Lorac Farella’s new Life-Warm skins. I slipped this skin on and immediately I was back to being Harper—the sophisticated, elegant, womanly, sexy Harper I always imagine myself to be, at least. (And I want to know, how many skins can you get this close on and still find stunning?)

Lorac has dialed into the right formula with her newly released artistically hand-drawn skins—the eyes are emotive, the lips are full and beautiful without being overblown, the skin is gently blushed but textured with shadow and depth, the décolletage is soft and curvy, and the eyebrows are.. well, you know how I feel about eyebrows. They are perfect! These skins were made for me it feels like, and undoubtedly you, dear readers, will be seeing more of them.

I have donned Alienbear Gupte’s beautiful jewelry. Diamonds ARE this girl’s best friend and in this case, so is the beauty of finely worked gold prims and many of them. Alienbear keeps besting herself with each creation—they are more and more elaborate yet contain her signature touches—the beautiful long blooming buds, the gracefully swirling flourishes, the intricately entwined links. (Check out the tiny diamonds in the channels of the bracelet.) This particular set comes with two crowns (one which comes in two pieces due to SL’s prim link limits), a necklace (also in two pieces—yes, this is how many prims Alienbear has put together), two sets of earrings, and a left and right bracelet.

Let’s face it—one of the best things about being a woman in SL is that you can have a huge evening gown wardrobe and dress like a princess whenever you want and you don’t feel ridiculous or overindulgent. Sparkle Skye ably sates that need with her gorgeous and elaborate evening gowns. This particular gown comes with a short option, a semi-sheer and a non-sparkling or sparkling skirt.

I’m ba-ack:

Un plic de seara auriu, elegant si sclipitor, va pune accentul glamour la o tinuta eleganta si sobra. Croiala este cea clasica pentru acest model de posetutza, cu un element nou insa: manerul, decupat in interior, ceea ce ii da posetutzei un aer extrem de modern si de sic.

Exista doua variante pentru acest maner decupat: fie un decupaj simplu, oval, fie un decupaj mai amplu, marcat cu metal.

Posetutza se poate purta la fel de comod si sub brat si in mana, si reprezinta accesoriul perfect pentru orice tinuta de seara.

Variante de culoare: auriu galben, auriu bronz

Pret: 200 lei

O posetutza eleganta, pentru evenimente si ocazii speciale.

Pe lac, pe piele intoarsa, sau pe o piele speciala, neagra cu insertii maro aurii, Enya este dragalasa si cuceritoare.

Reprezinta o alternativa la gentutza-plic, pentru ocazii, si este un pic mai incapatoare decat acesta, datorita formei.

Are o curelusa subtire, care va va permite s-o purtati pe umar, lasandu-va astfel mainile libere.

Dimensiuni: 24,5 x 12, x 5,5 cm

Pret: 150 lei

Inca un model inedit si modern: o poseta destul de mare, plata, din piele intoarsa, cu colturile imbractae in lac. Pe fata are un buzunar exterior inchis cu fermoar, care merge pe toata latimea posetei. Are o curea lunga, pentru umar, fixata cu inele metalice cam la jumatatea posetei, nu sus; asta are ca rezultat faptul ca, atunci cand poseta nu e foarte plina si o purtati pe umar, o puteti plia la jumatate, ca sa nu atarne.

Manere sunt adevaratul accesoriu si elementul sic al posetei: sunt fixe, foarte mari si rotunde (ca niste manere de sacosa supradimensionate),  din lac si fixate cu tinte metalice de poseta.

Elle 5 este o poseta foarte moderna si neasteptata ca forma. Poate nu raspunde unor necesitati practice de fiecare zi (nu poti indesa prea multe in ea) dar este in mod cert o poseta eleganta si o declaratie de stil.

Dimensiuni: 32 x 30 cm

Variante de culoare: negru cu lac, gri cu lac

Pret: 310 lei

When your outline is complete and you are ready to write your first draft, many writers make a common mistake at this point. They try to “get it right” the first time. They may work on a paragraph for hours, fine-tuning the words until they are perfect. Writers thus shut off their creativity by insisting on profession.

Remember, the first draft is a working draft. It should be written quickly without too much thought to elegant expressions or final order and paragraphing. Your object is to get the material on paper to flash out the structure of your outline. Let the words flow. Start wherever you can—in the middle, even near the end. The opening or introduction can be completed later. Any weaknesses in logic or gaps in information, any points that are out of place can be corrected in the final version.

As you write the first draft, keep your audience in mind. Doing so will help you stay focused on the purpose of your work. Keep writing until you have completed the first draft.

My Consultancy–Asif J. Mir - Management Consultant–transforms organizations where people have the freedom to be creative, a place that brings out the best in everybody–an open, fair place where people have a sense that what they do matters.

dwm (Dynamic Window Managr) is a Tiling Window Manager that is simple, elegant and don’t get in your way. The above screenshot is from my dwm setup.

1) Download dwm here.

2) Install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxinerama-dev sharutils

3) Extract the dwm package you’ve downloaded.

4) If you want to customise the appearance and behaviour of dwm, you need to re-compile it, but it is really easy. The customisations are done through the config.def.h file. If you don’t want to study the config setup right now, do it later and just grab some config.def.h on the Internet to use as base, or look into my references below for more info. You can grab my custom config as base if you want, here.

5) Compile it:

sudo make clean install

6) Now you need to create a entry in the login manager session list:

sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop

Paste and save this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=dwm
Comment=This session starts dwm
Exec=/usr/local/bin/dwm
Type=Application

Now you just need to log out and choose dwm in the session list : )
For every time you want to modify dwm, you need to re-compile it, just extract the package again, make your customisations and re-compile it, it will rewrite the installed dwm, so you don’t need to worry about erasing the old one first : )

I went to the Shoe Fair, benefitting Toys for Tots, right before Thanksgiving, hoping to score some pretties for my feet.

I found quite a few beautiful shoes, but none were as unique and sculptural as those made by 2408 Alekseev. With their gracefully intertwining vines and flowers, the precarious sole and serpentine heel, these shoes are a piece of wearable art.

I have to say, I had a few problems fitting them (though they come with resize scripts and an amazing range of skin tones to match to), so I contacted the creator, 24, as she likes to be called, via notecard. She responded quickly and helpfully (and cheerfully and humorously). Turns out I have very small and delicate ankles, so she had to shrink the shoes down considerably. Go figure.

She IS featuring two pairs for one at the Shoe Fair, benefitting Toys for Tots, so you may want to purchase those so you can check out her work.

When the outfit is all about the shoes, you can’t wear something long or they will be hidden, so I chose this flirty party dress from Kuranosuke Kamachi. Going to DeLa is a hit or miss for me sometimes–Kuranosuke uses sculpties in risk-taking ways that sometimes don’t pan out. But for this dress, the work is impeccable. The skirt is a marvelous fluff of stiff satin.

I styled with simple but elegant jewelry from Tiffy Vella. When an outfit has one point of interest, there is no reason to over do it. The jewelry balances the outfit with a touch of elegance without excessiveness. And Tiffy’s work is always beautiful and exact.
