A "How-to" for Our New Belts!

To be honest, when I first laid eyes on our new system layer belts I thought okay ......... what do I do with these? LOL

Then three of our intrepid fashion bloggers in SL(tm) came forth with a series of posts that showed how wonderfully attractive, flexible and useful these little beauties are.

So a big Fleur thanks to Ana, Sasy and Marni. You inspired me to play the layers game and do my own post :)

Ana Lutetia
Scarborough Flair
Artist's Tea Party

and mine

The Long and the Short of It

I hope these blogs show you how versatile the new belts are. They are now available at our Rue D'Antibes store as well as the main store at Fleur.
++++++++
REMINDER: The 50% off sale on ALL Parfait boutique series skins ONLY at our Rue D'Antibes store will end THIS evening! So get your parfaits now!

The Belts are Here!

Today is the day to go take a look at Roslin & CJ's new system layer belts that you've been seeing on the fashion feed recently! They are the answer to a fashionista's prayer. No more tweaking prims just to have your AO make you look sliced in half *grin*

These belts are provided on both the jacket and shirt layers for easier mixing and matching. You can use them to dress up a plainer outfit or to pull an outfit together. We're sure you'll find many uses for these style gems. Need I add that, with CJ and Roslin, the textures are rich and beautifully executed.


There are six wonderful styles, each is available in 8 colors that match the Fleur gloves. Most are worn at the mid-thoracic level [Thanks to Sasy Scarborough for that term LOL] They are L$100 each, but for L$500 you get the multipack, saving yourself L$300. They are now on sale in the Fleur clothing boutique to the left of the store landing point.

So come on over and get your solution to the belt problem now! Here's your limousine :)

We've teased the group and now I'll tease you. Roslin & CJ have some belts about to be released that will match some of the Fleur glove colors. I've been permitted to try a couple -- they are super. Stay tuned:)

Do You "Dig Ophelia"? We Do!


The latest and, alas last, makeup in the current Vivant series of skins has just been released. Here's what Roslin Petion has to say about the inspiration for the makeup.
"As soon as I saw hyasynth Tiramisu's homage to cello rock band, Rasputina, I was smitten. Her "How We Quit The Forest" ensemble artfully marries Victorian and punk influences that inspired me to create a matching makeup named after another Rasputina song. "Dig Ophelia," which will be the last regular Vivant release, features a saucy beauty mark , lush lips, and lids with just a touch of shimmer. It is available in 6 skin tones and 3 makeup variations created to compliment the various colors in hya's set."
Having had the privilege of previewing the three makeups I can safely say that Roslin and CJ have done it again -- creating a summery forest-friendly release that you will want to wear!

Come on over and take a look -- you won't be sorry! Prices are L$500 for a single skin and L$1200 for all three makeups in a tone. Fleur Main Store
