PENUMBRA. Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 came to an end. I hope you were able to make it to some of the fashion shows and do a little, or a lot of, fall/winter shopping!

I dare say I look forward to Fall fashion IRL now. I’ve always been a summertime girl, but there is something special about the briskness in the air. yellow leaves, and fashion that beats the chill beautifully.

Fashion’s Future (DeLorean/Time Machine Not Required)

Posted on October 24, 2015 by laylahlecker

PENUMBRA. Fashion Week Autumn/Winter ends today. Don’t be sad. Before you know it, 2016’s fashion trends will be here. However, 2015 isn’t over yet, and we still have out staples. Speaking of which, you can’t go wrong with a timeless silhouette.

There’s also time to celebrate our curves. Sleek pencil skirts, corsets, and peplum silhouettes will hopefully always be in style.

However, don’t feel like you always have to be classic. Second Life’s fashion allows us to be who we feel like we want to be for that day.

Much like our moods can change, our fashion sensibilities may change. I say go for it. Dare to dream and dare to wear what fits your mood. I sincerely hope you were able to visit PENUMBRA. this week. There was a lot of inspiration flowing. Thanks to all of the designers! Okay, I feel like the music for the Oscars is coming on lol. I’ll shush. 😀

I Prefer Pink

Posted on October 19, 2015 by laylahlecker

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories. Love the book; love a few of the movie versions. Love! The Queen of Hearts is an unforgettable character, but if I accidentally grew white roses, I would paint them pink.

Petit Chat’s The Finesse of a Rose” is a delicate, sultry ensemble. If you love roses, you’ll love this gown. It’s a PENUMBRA. Fashion Week AW15 exclusive item too!

If you’re planning on visiting PENUMBRA. Fashion Week AW15 Tuesday, October 20, get ready for the “The Toddleedoo Experience.” Got kids? If so, it’s a must see show. Dedicated to children’s fashions, the fashion show features designers Baby Burp, MeshMerized, Soda Pop Shop and Zanzadoodle. The show starts at Tuesday at 4PM. Here’s your lift.

Planning ahead? Wednesday’s 3 PM fashion show features Petit Chat, you can see this gown in motion, Indyra, October’s 4Seasons, I’m really digging this skin, Prey, Rayne Couture, Tres Beau, Virtual Diva Couture and White Room.

See you there!

It’s technically October 17. I say technically because it’s 1:22 am my time and I should really be in bed. I just can’t sleep! Want to know why? PENUMBRA Fashion Week Autumn and Winter 2015 starts on October 17! I’ve posted tomorrow’s show schedule below. Wicca’s Wardrobe is one of tomorrow’s features. Just so you know, I fell in love with Wicca Merlin’s PENUMBRA exclusives: Breyanna dress, Raquel heels, and Grace headpiece.

Why so much love? I’m a sucker for billowy yet sleek silhouettes, crisp textures, headpieces, and platform heels. I added the cat because I have just as much love for animals.

PENUMBRA’s Fashion Week is about to happen! See you there? When the clock ticks 9:45 am, click The Gender Games and find your seat in the audience. 9:45 am is my own time lol because I like to get to events at least 15 minutes before. Just click and click until you get in. 😀

Sneak Preview: PENUMBRA Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015

Posted on October 15, 2015 by laylahlecker

PENUMBRA. Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015 begins October 17, 2015, and it is going to be filled with amazing fashions from talented designers all over the Grid. LUXE Paris is one of the designers and I adore her Avant Garde creation Heart Armor.

The silhouette reminded me of a lotus flower. Perhaps it is the spiky edges of the skirt and hat. Actually, what’s one way to protect your heart? Cover it in prickly spines. 😉

October’s 4Seasons J’Adore skin is another PENUMBRA exclusive. I have to say I really love the skin. The cheekbones are amazing and the color blossom photographs beautifully.

Wearing this eye-catching design will give you a fashion-forward edge in softly stated colors.

So, mark your calendars! PENUMBRA Fashion Week begins October 17 and ends October 24. See you there!

“My, my, how the seasons go by…”

Posted on October 7, 2015 by laylahlecker

It’s my second fall in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sorry, I have to clarify the state because I’m from New Mexico. We have a Las Vegas too, but it’s not the glitter and glam of Sin City. Anyway, my first fall here was strange. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, I’ve noticed fall/winter wear paired with summer wear, and it’s typically warm on top and cool on the bottom.

Fall fashion has hit SL, but true to my new RL home, I mixed fall and summer. Actually, I did this in New Mexico too. Maybe it’s a desert upbringing? Regardless, PurpleMoon Creations‘ Sola Vest is cozy and chic and is available in a variety of patterns via a HUD, so you can go rawr or snuggly. You’ll find the Sola Vest at Tres Chic until October 10th. Click PurpleMoon at Tres Chic for your taxi.
