Marianela's "Once Upon A Time" Dress - Going Back to Your Princess Roots

Once upon a time in a land far, far away there lived this princess in Second Life that couldn’t make up her mind on the perfect formal dress to wear in search of her Prince Charming. Blah, blah, blah…

So I ask you…when you were a little girl, 
didn’t you want to be a princess when you were growing up?  

(Psst... I was)

And, to this day I still enjoy the wonderful enchanting stories like the ones told of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, and Aurora.

 Those girls were very cool too — not only did they kick some serious butt, but they also always had a knack for landing their Prince Charmings in their stories. 

All kidding aside, it is certainly what many of us loved to see in a princess vicariously for ourselves when we were young.

(Okay, okay — reality check, Becky) 

 Many of the guys that I have had my eyes on lately in SL have been living happily ever after unemployed at home in RL with their moms, drinking beer, going to strip bars, and dating women half their age. Pfft!

Being a princess like me and finding Mr. Right in today’s SL world is no easy task. So, to set myself apart from the crowded ballroom dance floors, I decided to go back to my princess roots and show myself off in a new stunning pink dress. 

Well, choosing just the right dress for the task at hand can be very difficult. As you may know, there is a plethora of pink princess dresses at the stores InWorld as well as in the Marketplace. 

So many in fact that it just makes my head spin! 

Well, I am about to put those sad SL boyfriend search stories to an end once and for all. I have finally found this stunning 

"Once Upon A Time Dress" by Marianela’s.

So, if you still hold on to those wonderful childhood memories of tea parties and wearing costumes of your favorite princess,

then this "Once Upon A Time" Dress by Marianela's is for you! 

It is absolutely gorgeous!

As darkness falls, Shandra ventures out into the night, 
to capture a man's soul with her demoness delight.  

She is an avant garde fantasy that manifests within a man's most secretive & intimate desires, 

lurking in the darkness between midnight and twilight. 

So be forewarned, ladies. 

Should you dare adorn this

it just may empower you as this dark Shandra Seductress 

possessing a very venomous mind.

Darkness Seduced - A Poem by Becky Kénaan

"As darkness seduces our love and our fate

We struggle our flesh to meld as we mate

Your love brings color to my streaks of grey,

beckoning your seeds as I give myself away

As you cover my body with your sensual kisses

Your touches fulfill my most intimate, midnight wishes

My hips beneath you motion and keep

Finally dawn's passion cries out, our bodies now weep

A moment's intoxicating embrace we now share

As we become one in womb's most inner lair

Nay, this bond grows deep within us more

As we lay as one summoning our inner core 

Once again life is reborn into the night 

With darkness' veil, its mystery, and delight."

Giulia Design's Mystic Pink Gown - Trendy & Timeless Styling

Effortlessly romantic, this stunning off-the-shoulder neckline 
Giulia Mystic Pink  Gown 
offers a beautiful combination of trendy & timeless styling. 

This Gown is nothing short of breathtaking.

The neckline, across-the-shoulders straps of the structured bodice,
and the pelvic regions of this delightful gown are adorned with intricate silver ruching embellishments.

But the layered draped skirting is where this Mystic gown’s
personality is found.

For this magical gown features both exquisite and unique 3D floral brocade ruffling that swells outward from the hip in numerous layers of fabric.

It's open front adds an upscale accent to the full-length skirt. I love how it's construction falls away from the body on it's sides, revealing the pink solid colored, body-hugging foundation of this gorgeous gown.

The solid body of this gown glides elegantly to the full-length hem in sextraordinary fashion.

The lowest hem lies several inches above floor level, giving this full length, layered princess gown enhancing volume, romance, and depth.

Marianela's Papillon Bikini - "Gentlemen, Bring Your Nets."

There is perhaps nothing on earth more beautiful than that of a large tropical butterfly with it's lustrous colorful wings.  

It never fails to thrill me with both wonderment and admiration of such a gorgeous creature - and seeing the grace of movement and dance it possesses in flight or at rest. 

It is truly a splendid gift from God for our eyes to behold. 

This Papillon Bikini by Marianela's Art in Fashion delights my senses in the same way.  It is a biophilic expression and the melding of nature's beauty into Spring fashion. When Spring is in the air I think of butterflies. 

So, if you are a young girl and considering wearing something fun for the Spring Break session, then try this Marianela Papillon Bikini to delight your mood and add to the beauty of nature. 

This bikini has a center-strapped petite soft bandeau top with tandem back ties and a string bottom. 

The Papillon bikini is embellished with beautiful monarch butterfly patterns, a scant butterfly sarong, bangles, and a semi-transparent matching floppy hat.  

The outfit also comes with a flirtatious animated butterfly to keep you company as you turn heads wearing this marvelous design at the beach or poolside.

EVOLVE Fashion's "INK SPOTS" Dress - Heating Things Way Up!

For those looking for something delightfully different... 

Reign from Evolve Fashion has designed this monochromatic black and white “Ink Spots” polka-dotted knee length dress that at once makes a statement while flattering your figure. 

I just love how the keyhole bodice design of this dress both enhances and teases at once.
  

If you want to accessorize this boldly printed dress, match it with black and white accessories and then accent it with maybe a solid colored belt or scarf.

For this bold polka-dotted dress pattern, I added a solid colored red sash belt across my waist. It breaks up the field of dots, adding just enough contrast to keep my look visually interesting without seeming  cluttered. 

I would also resist the temptation to use other polka dot accessories. In fact, try to void other patterns altogether, since other patterns are likely to clash with the dots.

Overall, I recommend that you stick with solid colors. This simple approach (like my red sash or solid pendant) keeps things uniform and prevents your accessories from competing with this dress’s pattern. 

I also decided to wear this cute, white beret hat to play to the natural girlishness of polka dots while remaining neutral so as not to compete. 

Anyway you look at this dress, it has fun and boldness about it that is refreshing to experience. So, what are you waiting for Ladies? 
Go to EVOLVE Fashion and heat things way up by donning this wonderful retro dress!
