I’ve known about the talented and quite lovely Sascha Frangilli for some time now but I hadn’t been to her store to see new designs in well over a year.  I saw some new releases of hers on Avona Ryba’s Flickr and it sparked my memory of the numerous gowns Sascha’s Designs had in the store that I sadly could not take with me last I visited.  Flash forward to now and happily running into Sascha again, to see me falling completely inlove with Wicked Swan.

This gown is unbelievably beautiful.  The details are nothing short of sensational and what blows me away are the multiple versions of the skirt that come with it.  You can literally wear Wicked Swan five or more times and not have it look exactly the same!

In addition to the multiple versions of the skirt, there are optional straight spaghetti straps, optional flashy tilted straps, an optional sexy bolero jacket, and an optional large feather shawl.  All….for the same affordable price!  As you can imagine, I shall be returning to Sascha’s to see what other gems I can pick up that thrill me as much as Wicked Swan does.

The gown has a very sexy straight and simple elegant look, a long train, a medium train, a gorgeous swishy, full battleship flexi and full battleship….and I’m actually forgetting one or two!

In the above photo, you can see a glimpse of an upcoming release from By Alexander Fine Jewelry and Accessories, gorgeous pastel prim nails associated with the new AV Kimberly set.  These very pretty glitter nails are color changing with the gorgeous AV Kimberly ring attached.  Coming soon to Welsh Bay!  Complimenting this gown is the beautiful AV Siempre necklace, cuff and earrings.

Perhaps I’ll see you at Sascha’s Designs the next time I’m there, which will be soon!  I’ll share two other favorites of mine from Sascha’s soon.  Casual outfits that are so me and just might be you too!

Fellini Couture has recently released this beautiful and elegant new gown called Goldwire.  It is definitely an award winning gown that has show stopping features.  The sheer, close fitting bodice is covered with draped Goldwire mesh netting that is gathered at the shoulder then falls gracefully down the back.

The waistline is met with a beautiful skirt that is embellished by large, gorgeous flowers.  The same type of flower that is on the shoulder and worn in the hair.  The hemline of the skirt gracefully puddles about the wearer in a petal like display.

Stunning in it’s design from every angle, this gown is sure to please and be show stopping to all of those around.  Fellini Couture does it up right, as usual, with the Goldwire gown.  A remarkable piece of wearable art designed to be worn with elegance.

There won’t be any dispute that the all new AV Elizabeth qualifies as wearable art.  The artsy neck piece drapes shining gold from shoulder to shoulder and a show piece golden disc encircling a large, sparkling diamond with three delicate strands of gold dangling smaller diamonds and a lovely ruby droplet.

The front is amazing, but even more amazing is the back of this work of art.  The draping gold from the shoulders continues with a matching golden disc and sparkling diamond against the upper back before extending down the back clear to the upper buttocks in a beautifully crafted flower with clearly defined petals and a swirling stem of leaves dotted with tiny diamonds and rubies.

In these photos I am wearing a gorgeous gown by talented designer Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s Designs called Saleya in Ink.  This stunning gown comes with multiple skirt versions and a fabulous jacket to cover the arms on a chilly evening.  Above, I am wearing the Grande Flexi version of the skirt and below you can see the Bum Train option.  You can wear Saleya several times and not have it look exactly the same, as is trademark of Sascha’s generous designing style.

AV Elizabeth comes with the show-stopping neck piece, a very pretty cuff for the wrist, ring, and elegant golden earrings that dangle from the ears with the same theme as the cuff.

It isn’t necessary to wear AV Elizabeth with a gown only.  It can be worn in a way that dresses up a more casual look, such as draped on the sexy black turtle neck from Sascha’s Rock Chic.

AV Elizabeth is perfect for when you need something unique and vibrant across the shoulders and especially down the back.  This set works well with the back out and also against fabrics that aren’t busy.

Some may already know that By Alexander Fine Jewelry has undergone a name change and is now known as By Alexander Fine Jewelry and Accessories.  On the horizon from By Alexander is prim nails!  No longer will you need to remove your prim nails to wear the rings that go with some of his sets.  These nails will be color changing with an easy-to-use hud!  I absolutely love being able to change the color and the gems on the Otillia cracked nails shown below, with the click of a button.  Be on the look out for quality prim nails from By Alexander, soon to be released!

I just love sophistication in fashion.  I love new releases and special deals as well.  When it comes to wearable art, I love detail!  Jane, from Aleida has the sophistication I seek and the new Hana shoes from Maitreya styles perfectly with this look.

Slinky and seductive, Jane is a killer dress that I just had to have.  It’s also a special offer for August so hurry to Aleida to add it to your wardrobe today.

It is seen here with the system skirt and large bow in back though it comes with options for pants and a fluffier prim skirt as well.

It also comes in a blue version, this is the black and white version.

These shoes.  Well, what can I say about these shoes?  Oh my.  The new release of Hana from Maitreya just really ROCKS.  They are so beautiful in their detail.  I have just fallen in love with their seemingly simple design, and yet sophisticated detail that sends them over the top.  They come in a variety of colors including animal prints as well as fat packs.  They are just outstanding!

Recently, upon exploring a new fashion mall, Maritima, I found this little store called Aglaia.  It has some very beautiful things in it and I was quite impressed with this ensemble called Diamond Shawl with Mya Earrings.

The diamond shawl, worn on the chest, drips with diamonds from the neck, onto the left shoulder and on the upper left side of the chest and back.

The earrings, also dripping with diamonds, climb gracefully with swirls up the ear.  It’s nothing short of glamorous, stunning, and show stopping.  Pieces that are worthy of being added to your jewelry collection to show off stunning bared shoulders with a great updo.

Oh, and just to top it off right, they are having a stunning 75% off sale for the opening of Maritima.  Maritima is an eclectic and fashion forward fashion mall.  Really something to experience for the fashion lover.

TP on over to Maritima and visit Aglaia on the second floor and get your special pieces right away!

I’ve heard that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.  If you’re wearing this knock out combination then that must absolutely be true!  It would be difficult not to be a woman in this beautiful ensemble.

Named Venus, this combination from Angel Dessous is truly full of brilliant details and will be sure to capture the attention of your loved one.

The bodice lovingly captures the sexy curves, with a fanned luxury of lace spanning behind.  Wearing of the garter is optional as it comes with a version without as well.

A gentle wrapping of lace embraces the neck and falls gracefully behind, dangling down the back. Long gloves give it a well rounded, finished look.  Sheer stockings with a bit of lace to top them off are also included.

Angel Dessous  knows how to do lingerie, no doubt.  With this ensemble, they’ve proved that yet again.  Sexy, stylish, lovely and sophisticated all rolled up into one.  It’s sure to be a hit, capturing the imagination and bringing out the best of a long, hot night together.

Looking to turn at least a few heads and be a star?  Then this is the gown for you.  Antares is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.  This dress, shown here in bronze, is very aptly named as you will shine like a star when wearing it!

This gown is as lovely as can be and these pictures really don’t do it justice.  A true photographer I am not, but a lover of fashion, I am!  This gown IS for the true fashionista.

It can be worn with either of the collars, the one that is larger or the smaller one.

It comes with beautiful wrappings that drape the arms.

As lovely coming as going, the back of the gown is just as inspiring as the front.

You don’t want to miss out on this lovely addition to your wardrobe.  Be swept away and turn every head in the room, your stardom awaits you at Angel Dessous!
