Sparkling Snowflakes

I am kind of shivering writing this blog. I simply can’t wrap my head around the idea that snow is soon to come. I cling to the hope that somehow sunshine and warmth will persist in my very northern clime. Winter has already arrived at Never Never Land. PJ Trenton photographed me there in this dress for this stunning photo.

There are some, however, who can’t wait for snow to come. Clearly Nicky Ree is one of those folks, because she has entered the race for your holiday lindens with this absolutely stunning snowflake-embroidered dress. With it’s exquisite textures backless bodice, it crosses over from Ice Queen to a warm and sexy queen. The headpiece almost looks like an ushanka, made of snowflakes instead of fur. The glorious cape completes the look.

This can be worn as a traditional evening gown, however. Take off the cape and hat, and you have another of Nicky’s beautiful dresses. She echoes the snowflake motif through the skirt and train, giving them an icy and ethereal translucency in her characteristic train.

I styled this with a skin from Hart Larsson’s newest range—July. His skins are haute couture—very high fashion, very styled and traditionally beautiful. He offers a range with each purchase—3 skin tones, 8 colors lip colors, 5 different eye styles, and within your purchase, freckled or not, push up cleavage or not, and three eyebrown tints. I don’t want to think about how much uploading that cost! I would like to say his vendor is a little complicated to use at first but in the end, gives you all the goods quickly and efficiently.

I wear jewels from my favorite SL jeweler still, Random Calliope. Many have followed and mimicked Random, but he is truly the original.
