Zaara's Sumana Lingerie: Makes You Feel & Look as Sexy as a Goddess



We all have come to know and appreciate great lingerie. 
Lingerie is certainly a part of life. 

For my SL knickers drawer, I have found the perfect match for my Maitreya Lara Mesh Body from Zaara Kohime


I have found my karma with other like-minded lingerie 
lovers here in SL who consider intimate apparel 
an artform worth shopping for. 

 I look forward to showing more from Zaara and other 
talented folks to provide you with my perspective on 
the lingerie industry that I love.


This Zaara Sumana Ebony Lingerie set is an absolutely gorgeous, 

close-fitting piece suitable for wearing under your clothes. 


I adore the rich pink and white petite floral patterning 
against the ebony foundation of this lingerie.



The Sumara bra is subtly delicate, sensuous and perfect 
for wearing under anything tight, close-fitting, or thin 

like this Maitreya Lara Party Dress in Strawberry.

The bra is constructed strapless. 
That said, it is great for evening wear. 

It also shapes the breasts delicately - making it one of best fitting bras I have ever worn here in SL.  The cup, cradle and wings of this bra give it a very comfortable look as well.




This Zaara Sumana comes with an effortlessly stunning waspie – with ruffled corsetry and finished with matching black fringe to 
complement the eyelash fringe on the bra. 

The attachment of black-toned ribbon suspenders harnessed from the waspie and buckled to the sheer stockings are classic splurge…
making you feel and look as sexy as you already are.


The black exterior casings of the panties feature a carefully placed front ribbon and keyhole that says “love me.” 


The back of the panties reveal sheer that cinches and caresses your derriere, adding just the right amount and touch of naughtiness in effortless detail.

So, what are you waiting for Ladies?  

Go knock ‘em dead in this Zaara Sumana Ebony Lingerie ensemble.

Luxe Paris Fashion's Psyche Outfit: Skin-Biting Playful 60s Succulence



The 60s are best known for being one of 
the most fashion conscious times in history. 


From the iconic fashion consciousness of Jackie Kennedy to the psychedelic clothing of the Beatles, the styles that began in the 
decade have had a noticeable influence on the fashions of today.


Women's fashion in the 60s was a reflection of social change.

It was a time of emerging and diverse trends.

From sophisticated and casual to bright colors and bold prints,
the 60s encompassed it all with stylish flair.


Luxe Paris has playfully recalled this quintessential 60s movement
with this brightly colored pullover psychedelic blouse with
bleached denim split-hem mini skirt.

Once you examine this outfit further, you can't help but be
impressed by the superb detailing of the top and skirt.

From its drawstring top collar to its fine single stitching,
this outfit not only resonates in quality & attention to detail -
it also exudes sexy casual sophistication and
skin-biting playful succulence.


Luxe Paris Fashion has stepped away from the crowd, 
marching to the beat of their own drum with their boundless passion for fashion and an unyielding pursuit of perfection.

Achieving the Best of Both Worlds: A Maitreya Out of Body Mesh Experience


After modeling here in SL for the past three years, I have 
become accustom to following the Fashion Trends and always 
trying to improve my modeling skills and appearances. 


Now that the mesh body has arrived, I pondered long and hard as to whether or not I was ready to take this new direction and plunge right into a new "out of body" experience to learn the idiosyncrasies, assets, and deficiencies that the new mesh body had to offer.


A significant consideration for me was whether or not my existing wardrobe would work with the new Mesh body. Another 
question was whether or not the mesh body would lend itself 
to my existing client’s design requirements and standards.



All of the stores that I visited had limited clothing available 
with the mesh bodies that they were promoting.

Well, the only real way that you can find out is to actually
jump in with both feet and pick the mesh body that appeals
to you the most and then learn what it has to offer both in its attributes and deficiencies.



With that in mind, I first picked up the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body Demo
and immediately tested my existing shapes and skins against the Mesh Body.  I found that they worked flawlessly without the need to re-proportion the default shapes made available from Maitreya.

Voila! To my surprise and glee, I also discovered that I can
still wear my regular mesh clothing with the
Maitreya Lara Mesh Body that I selected. 


The Maitreya Lara Mesh Body also comes with an ingenious and pragmatically well-designed HUD.

It provides you with both frontal and back diagrammatic silhouette views that are stratified in several horizontal bands which ingeniously allows you to fine tune virtually every area of your body to mask as you need for your mesh clothing to work. Therefore, there is no need to use the alpha layer that came with your mesh clothing.


I also purchased a Zaara Aksaka Lingerie Applier which works
surprisingly well with the Maitreya Mesh Body. 



You can control the addition or the removal of your bra,panties, 
and stockings. You simply open the applier HUD and just hit the bar button. Just make sure that you have the layer you want selected turned on. 



The latest update to Maitreya now asks you 
what layer you want the item applied to. 



That said, you will need to turn on that particular alpha mask to keep it from disappearing. There is a tab bar button underneath that allows you to turn on the tat/underclothes/clothes layers.


Another important consideration for me was that I wanted to keep my personal look and to maintain the size and proportion of my avi. 
This was critically important to me to confirm that this would work, 
given my ongoing modeling commitments and what is expected in proportions from my many vendor clients.
