RIP Dani Plassitz: “The heart does go on”

Posted on January 9, 2017 by laylahlecker

On December 13, 2016 RL and SL lost a life while Heaven gained an angel. Her name was Dani Plassitz.

When I first rezzed into SL, I tried my hand at modeling and it was where I first came across Dani’s work as a fashion designer. Her creations were stunning designs filled with intricate details, and she used colors beautifully. She was dedicated to her passion for fashion. Dani also inspired models to push their boundaries. I distinctly recall a former colleague broadened her fashion horizons specifically because of Dani’s encouragement to be bold. After all, we were in a world where everything was possible.

When I left modeling to pursue blogging, she reached out to me as she noticed I followed her blog. I gladly accepted her invitation to join her blogger team because her style, creation, and exuberant personality were all one of a kind.

Models Give Back walked in remembrance of Dani on January 8. As a testament to Dani’s creative genius, I am honored to use her last gown created for MVW Roberta Aulder in my last post as a Styles by Danielle blogger.

bless

Writing this final blog is heartbreaking. I won’t wake up to one of her kind messages thanking me, but that’s so small in comparison as to what her friends, family, and husband lost. Consequently, my heart breaks for you, and I am so sorry for your loss. May you rest in peace Dani. Thank you so much for everything. Your beautiful voice and creations will be missed. ❤

“Remember that there’s someone there whose heart is always true…”

Posted on August 27, 2016 by laylahlecker

So hubby, “I’ll always be the man in love with you.” Um..woman. You know what I mean. Readers, you probably do not, so let me take you back to Christmas 2015.

Remember that there's someone there whose heart is always true

In 2015, my husband and I celebrated our first Christmas as a married couple so I was on the lookout for cutesy commemoration gifts to throw under the tree. Hobby Lobby had the cutest mugs in the checkout aisle that read “I heart my husband” and “I heart my wife.” Initially, I grabbed the heart wife mug for a gift, but I rethought that decision while standing in line. It was almost Christmas so that line was long.

Someone there to help you make it through

I decided it was too presumptuous to expect my hubby to drink out of a mug that proclaimed he loved his wife. After all, since it was a gift, I should demonstrate my love for my husband right?

I will always be the man in love with you

So, I purchased the “I heart my husband” mug as a gift for my new hubby. On the drive home, I pictured my husband drinking from that mug. It wasn’t what I imagined lol, so my mug purchase has been a running joke ever since.

A joke, but it’s also a sweet memory. If you’re going to tie the knot in SL, check out Styles by Danielle’s Roberta Bridal Gown. It contains 13 textures with Danielle’s trademark elaborate lace. Also, group members have a 30% discount and other perks, so you may want to add to your group list!

We finally settled in our new place. I swear, the older I get, the more moving physically hurts! This time, the hurt is worth it. I love our new home. I’m plotting how to decorate the place and make it a home as I type.

Monique by Styles by Danielle

Since I feel fancy, I decided to dress like high society as I plan. Styles by Danielle’s Monique is a succulent blend of satin, cashmere, and floral design that comes in shimmering and non-shimmering. I like to sparkle. Who doesn’t? It doesn’t matter if you like to literally sparkle on the outside or exude a sparkly attitude because both are beautiful. Monique in shimmering beige is a group gift, so now there’s no excuse to not sparkle on the outside.

I will buy you a new life

Dani Plassitz’s June group gift is the perfect combination of chic sparkles and Summer. There’s a small enrollment fee (200L) to join Styles by Danielle’s group, but all group members receive exclusive monthly gifts (see above ), a 30% discount on new releases, and tons of other on the spot group gifts and discounts.

What comes to mind when I write: “In the corner of two gowns with golden lace?” No real hidden meaning, but it is a hint. Styles by Danielle is participating in WOMENstuff Hunt 2015. TP to the Styles by Danielle and find the Stina gown for only 1L.

The hunt gift Stina offers two styles. I mixed and matched, but one version has a lace overlay over the skirt. The version I’m wearing is typically worn with solid-colored gloves. Check them both out at Styles by Danielle’s blog.

Don’t miss out on the fun! WOMENstuff Hunt 2015 ends September 30th. Click here for a lift to Styles by Danielle!

“We never go out of style”

Posted on July 29, 2015 by laylahlecker

I’ve been on a Taylor Swift kick lately. I never thought I would write that! Swift’s actually a brilliant lyricist. I had no idea! Sorry, Tiffany Celestials as you told me about her some time ago lol.

Whenever I blog, I listen to songs that go along with what I’m wearing. Sometimes, well…most of the time, I listen to that one song on repeat. The song of the day is “Style” because I’m seriously in love with my husband. Granted we aren’t off and on like the song, but we love certain ideas (okay fine…I do have a “good girl faith”) when it comes to the other, so our coupling will never go out of style.

Speaking of which, Dani Plassitz‘s newest release Lindy will never go out of SL style. Lingerie always has its place, especially if it offers the option to get appliers for mesh bodies and traditional SL clothing layers. Styles by Danielle’s Lindy lingerie is available in red, beige, white, black and pink, and blue.

Also, you can opt for standard SL clothing layers. standard layers plus Appliers all-in-one layer, Maitreya Mesh Body Applier/HUD with six options for wearing (no standard layers), and Belleza Mesh Body Applier/HUD with six options for wearing (no standard layers).

Don’t forget to wear your group tag because there is a 30% discount for inworld Styles by Danielle group members.
Oh, group members, there is a simplified version of Lindy Black And Pink as a Summer Group Gift!

Name of the Game

Posted on June 22, 2015 by laylahlecker

Dani Plassitz created a beautiful and colorful Balinese traditional dress for Miss SL 2015 Indonesia Mio Linette. Do you like? It’s available at Styles by Danielle Fashion House. Also, a Miss SL Boutique will open soon, as a charity for the Join Hands for Nepal; Fashion for Food, and it will be available there too.

Good luck to all Miss SL candidates! Is it bad form to send Mio Linette extra positive vibes? Unless it’s already happened. I haven’t spent much time in world, but I feel special in her dress. Speaking of special, my real life wedding day is in 2 days. Yikes. I thought I was totally prepared, but how does one RL work and SL blog whilst planning a small wedding? I can’t imagine planning a super big ceremony. Hope this wedding is my last. 😉
