thalia heckroth | A Passion for Virtual Fashion

“Podrán cortar todas las flores, pero no podrán detener la primavera.” ~ Pablo Neruda

In honor of spring, I went to the picturesque Black Kite sim to take today’s photos. Thalia Heckroth’s graceful gown creates the elegant column I wanted to create for my look, which centers around SinfulSky’s beautiful headpiece for MadPea Productions for the Gacha Garden. It’s the “Seed of Inspiration” piece for their collection and a most beautiful look for photographs. The only jewelry that could justify such a lovely piece is AvaKungler Gardner’s work, including a choker she features at her store and the lovely bracelet she made for this month’s We <3 RP.

AvengeStore is participating in the Buy Now event, which is taking place on Marketplace. Organized by a group of designers, it allows people to purchase exclusive items on Marketplace only. AvengeStore’s applier was made for a Logo head, presumably the Alex, but I chose to wear it on the Chloe. I actually tried it on all three heads and found it was gorgeous on every one of them, which is highly unusual for an applier (they all have such different shapes). Each one took on a different character wearing the skin, but I was most attracted to the freshness of the applier on the Chloe head and received several compliments as well. Mirja Mills’ gorgeous hair for Shiny Shabby was my natural choice for this look, lush and feminine. I was not happy about covering it with a headpiece at first but it was so ideal for this ensemble with tendrils framing the face, it was a perfect look for my primavera.

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

My silver girl took a walk around the charming, albeit small, neighborhood around The Sable Club to take photos yesterday. I had discovered that the Renaissance woman, Thalia Heckroth, had opened a store on Marketplace with some beautiful mesh pieces, and I was absolutely thrilled to find this beautiful mesh dress, made of fitted mesh, among her offerings. Thalia, who has excelled at everything she has done in SL, from owning an RP sim to dabbling in real estate to making machinima and doing photography is now a designer and brings her sophisticated aesthetic and approach to her pieces. She has just started—there are only five pieces available right now, but each is classic couture, well rigged and beautifully textured. I paired with this outfit the set Mea Carnell is selling at On9 this month, a lovely grouping of necklace, bracelet and ring, and I am sporting Glamistry’s newest, t-strap platform sandals.

Catwa Clip’s mesh head, Jessica, has sent a flurry of designers making appliers, and Sawsan Secretspy, who is the goddess of quick-make appliers, has made a lovely set with several eye makeup and lipstick choices. (And don’t let me diminish what Sawsan does by saying she’s quick. The wide variety of systems and mesh shapes for the bodies and heads is enough to make any designer go nuts—she handles it all seemingly without effort.) Her skin is delicate and graceful on this head—very classic, especially with the beautifully drawn brows. Carina Larsen has recently released a ton of hair styles for women and one for men and this up-do is in keeping with her style—simple, beautiful and feminine.
