The Karma of India Nadeau

Free As A Peacock

I was sent a breathtakingly lovely outfit some time ago from Austina Magic, the talented designer behind Arya Boutique.  I would like to begin my blog post by offering my sincerest apologies for not blogging it sooner!  I am grateful for the opportunity given for me to show off this flamboyant display of artistic fashion, and I hope I am able to do it justice.

The peacock is a majestic bird, notably marked by its brilliant feather plumes of color.  The Peacock Girl outfit is a very thoughtful, and well designed interpretation of the characteristics of the vibrant animal.  The texture, colors, and detail really pop, and hues of greens, blues, reds, and pinks abound.  Austina Magic worked extremely hard on this ensemble–and it shows!

I can totally see this design being worn in a pageant.  It is a remarkable wardrobe piece.  The ensemble comes complete with flower earrings, flower and feather attachments for hip and shoulder, the plume attachment on the back, as well as the eye-catching skirt and train.  The halter top front features more color kaleidoscopes of a peacock in its colors and design.  Its revealing cut around the bustline adds definite exotic sex appeal and elegance.

My look was brought together with hair from Plume; the flowers tied the look together beautifully!  I also added fingernails by Je Suis.

I really love the ideas behind this ensemble.  Also, I paid a visit to the Arya Boutique and for anyone who adores East Indian clothing, Austina has designed many traditionally styled Indian outfits and Indo-Western pieces.  If you are a lover of salwars and lenghas, be sure to drop by!

Welcome to the Desert

I was really feeling this corduroy mini skirt from League at the most recent Fifty Linden Friday.  It’s a cute and casual little number.  Newly released also were these camisoles also by League.  There were a number of rich neutrals and darker tones, but since I really do not have a lot of browns and tans in my inventory, I decided to buy the cami in cream, and the skirt in brown.  I bought the skirt in cream as well, but felt it was too monochromatic.

The hair is a new release from Elikatira.  A mid-length, casual style with one strand pulled back on the side secured by a color change bobby pin.  The jewelry is again from the past sale at Je Suis!

My location of choice here was at the desert themed sim of Tableau.  It really is an excellently designed location  perfect for some hot weather shots.  I needed some warmth (albeit warmth shown in a virtual sim).

Frou Frou in the Alley

Hello SL Fashion Public!  Unfortunately I have let my blog get a bit…silent–you know, the whole busy with other things line.  I’ll spare the explanations and get right to the fashion related commentary.

This ensemble contains a little bit of old and sparkly, and some new and lovely.  Je Suis had an amazingly awesome sale recently, and I honestly could not hold myself back from buying nearly everything I was still yearning after.  The African jewelry set is an edgy conglomeration of beads and metal with great texturing and detail.  Quality is what you will find at Je Suis,  and it is found in abundance.  I am also wearing fingernails from Je Suis, which I generally never do (sometimes I’m plain lazy with accessorizing), but these black, perfectly shaped nails with optional ring and color options were a perfect addition.

The other new item is this FrouFrou skirt in Onyx by The Secret Store that was an item being sold at the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser to benefit Japan.  I haven’t been to many of the fundraising events lately since I have not been in SL as much as before, but having helped with other SL fundraising events, I want to stress how really helpful these events can truly be.  Little things do add up, and the fact that we can spread awareness and raise donations in a virtual world that will aid real organizations is a mind blowing thing.

Just a little promo…Another Fundraiser, is an additional event where all proceeds are donated to The Red Cross.  All skins and makeups there are only 50L.  See the flickr group here.

So…back to the outfit…


A nice finish to the outfit were these booties by Gos I had picked up at a Disco Deals event awhile back.  They added a little more shiny funk while complimenting this old top that I have had forever.  You might say I love this shirt for its glitter factor!

Peqe @ Chic Limited

A look that is both a little funky and frilly, this top and leggings by Peqe at the Chic Limited event are too cute!  I just wanted to blog it quickly with one of the new hair styles from Lelutka.  See credits below!

Oui! Oui! Miamai!

On the whatever day of Christmas (the fourth or fifth day after maybe), my SL partner gave to me…a gown from Miamai and jewels from Alienbear!  Poor guy, he wanted to buy me a gown, so he took my indecisive butt shopping.  How many times did we go peruse different stores?  Haha!  Anyway, the patient person that he is, he put up with me ho-humming about styles, colors, price, and my resistance to let him buy me something.  He helped me choose the end result, which I am blogging (finally) today.

As a thank you to you my dear Zaap, and my first blog entry of the new year, this post is dedicated to you.  You are a source of creative motivation, inspiration, friendship, love, laughs, and fun!  XOXO
