ART DREAMS NOVUS Fondness 2017

Come explore her new gallery and check out the 

many wonderful exhibits that she has on display.

The vase also complements her canvas ART DREAMS Autumn Blaze.

If you enjoy vivid, impressionistic paintings that capture 

the feeling of being outdoors, you will absolutely 

fall in love with Jolie’s collections at her 

new Second Life ART DREAMS Gallery. 

ART DREAMS Sand and Sea Dreams

Inspired by Biophilic fractal patterns, her post impressionist 

technique is done with richly expressive colors and 

wonderful compositions that most effectively capture the 

beauty, emotional movement & drama of nature’s landscape. 

ART DREAMS Never Far 2017

Her work is proof that post impressionism is 

alive and well in Second Life and that the passion 

for and continuation of the great impressionists still rides 

high in our modern era through her creative endeavors.

Art emulates life through one's personal experiences. 

ART DREAMS Winter Telrunya 2017

Just like an intimate relationship, one must first relate 

to art to attain meaning of and intimacy with it. 

 So goes art in understanding its bond with our soul.

Art is subjective. Art is also one of the few things in life 

that can evoke divergent emotions with people. 

It all depends on what your eye perceives and how you interpret it.

ART DREAMS Calas Beach Retreat 2017

To some, a painting may just be splashes of color on canvas 

without content. However to others, when scrutinized 

closely this same painting may reveal itself as a calming pathway 

lined with beautiful flowers under a canopy of shade trees in springtime.

Jolie’s work speaks volumes to that premise.

Her artwork blossoms with the vivid use of color in digital 

brushstrokes through her deep innate passions & sensualities.

Formally taught by Masters from the Cape School of Art in 

Provincetown, Massachusetts, Jolie's unique style and artful 

techniques reflects not only her life experiences but more profoundly 

her quest to push beyond the boundaries from what was to what is to become.

Classically trained in plein-air technique in real life, she studied 

intensively, creating paintings from life, be it portrait, still life or landscape.  

Jolie started showing in publlc shows at the age of 19 and that same 

year worked as a sidewalk portrait artist for Walt Disney World. 

ART DREAMS Choices

After many rewarding years teaching Art in public schools, 

Jolie is now happily exploring new worlds in digital arts to 

push beyond the envelope of the past into new horizons to 

be appreciated by all those who seek knowledge and love 

for the fine arts. 

ART DREAMS Sand Dreams

Nature is a Biophilic gift and Impressionism is the 

celebration of life through our innate love for nature. 

Jolie’s Fractal patterns and forms are captured with her 

vivid use of color and magical brush strokes to sooth and 

delight our Biophilic senses. 

Her art is a marriage of her real life painting and digital skills. 

It is also a joyful reminder on canvas of how 

we experience life and appreciate all of its blessings.

A Boutique Discovery: Revealing Pleasures & Treasures from Belle Epoque

Belle Epoque Dahlia Pink Corset Lingerie 

You’ve seen me wear a variety of ensembles here in Second Life. 

From time to time, you’ve also seen me blog about 

different places to experience here as well. 

As a fashion blogger, it’s important for me to remain objective 

in my work and do my best. Along this wonderful journey I 

have also discovered remarkable talent and exceptional design. 

Although much of what I blog is provided me through vendors, 

I still love to shop here on my own and explore.

For me, the bottom line is that if I wouldn’t buy it for 

myself, I wouldn’t recommend it to others. 

I wanted to share with you about this cute little boutique I 

just found called, BELLE EPOQUE owned by Janire Van Belle. 

It is becoming one of my favorite boutiques here in 

Second Life and a must for you to see.

Belle Epoque Heather in Black

My favorite thing about BELLE EPOQUE is how insanely 

cute her clothes are. I want them all! 

When looking for a place to shop, I always look for clothes 

that are not only staying up with the latest trends, but also 

boutiques that still offer those classic pieces that are so 

historically important to me.

BELLE EPOQUE has a nice selection of clothing and styles
that have me swooning over just how chic and cute they are.

Belle Epoque Eider Headpiece in Ivory

From formal wear and casual clothes to adorable dresses 

with playful hats and other fun accessories, BELLE EPOQUE 

has the charm and warmth of a small town boutique with 

great attention to detail.

I’m always impressed with designers here who makes their 

outfits a little extra special. It's all about the personal touches like the ribbon 

attention to detail on the Belle Epoque Dahlia Pink lingerie corset or the 

wonderful Belle Epoque Eider Headpiece flower & headband detailing.

So, whether you’re a girl who likes to dress up or just play 

it casual (I’m definitely a girl who likes both), you will definitely 

be able to find something that fits your needs and style at BELLE EPOGUE.

Glitter Infatuation Corset Mesh Premiers at SWANK Events January 2017

What does a corset actually say about a woman and her outfit? 

Well, this Glitter Infatuation Corset Mesh Dress 

definitely makes a very fun statement. 

The overbust corset design of this avant garde dress 

features segmented front, side and center back panels.

These panels are inlayed with delightful textured 

bronze leather, silver gothic print embellishments and defined
boning, making it a perfect statement piece.

The exaggerated bird-caged peplum skirting adds to this 

piece, giving your mid-section a waspy, hour glass appearance.

Words like naughty, sultry and sexy immediately 

come to mind as you feast your eyes on this corset dress.

I love the medieval gothic inspired patterns and straight steel boning at the bust. 

The corset’s boning and playful back zipper enhances the
look of this Glitter Infatuation Corset Mesh 

in such a fascinating way. 

This is absolutely a one of a kind creation and perfect for 

conceptual SL avant garde fashion shoots or burlesque events.

Keresma Rope Gown in Roses & Silks Premiering at SWANK Events January

As fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg once said, 
“To feel like a woman, please wear a dress.”

Well, look no further - for this stunningly sexy
Keresma Rope Rose Gown blossoms with femininity. 

Statuesque and lovely, this gown features a spaghetti
strapped deep plunge neckline with roped straps and
scrumptious rose patterning.

For me, I love choosing a formal gown that is a bit outside
the boundaries of what one might initially consider,
something that feels audaciously bold to wear. 

A gown of this design makes a fierce statement with its
deep plunging neckline with leafed cups held delicately in
place by long, slender, cross-wrapped sensuous straps. 

This wrap-around rope look certainly creates a stunning,
jaw-dropping transition at its empire waist.

It is a gorgeous cut that puts the waistband right below the
bust, complemented by the roping and especially flattering
which emphasizes the decolletage.

Without a doubt this Keresma Rope Rose Gown is one of the
sexiest of all mermaid dress silhouettes.

Its curve-hugging shape is guaranteed to take your man’s breath away.
It is truly an elegant style for the elegant you.

Try this Keresma Rope Gown in Roses and tell me what you think.
I would love your feedback!

BakaBoo Premiers the Baka Floral Cut Jumpsuit at SWANK Events January

The ease of wearing chic apparel is the key design element 

trending in fashion today. 

We all lead busy lives, and the faster we can get dressed 

(while still looking put together) the better. 

That said, take a look at this very chic and glamorous, 

Asian inspired BakaBoo Baka Jumpsuit in Floral Cuts. 

I see the influence of the power suit combined with cuffed poufy sleeves, 

bold contrasting floral Asian patterning, a sexy cross-wrapped bodice, 

bow belt and flared legs all combining together to make this 

BakaBoo Baka Floral Cut Jumpsuit a definite statement outfit. 

What makes this jumpsuit appealing as a fashion statement is 

that there is very little work involved to accessorize it, 

making it the epitome of being effortlessly cool. 

The history of the jumpsuit is a bit more complex than the garment itself.  

The fashion legend Elsa Schiaparelli created the first 

high-fashion jumpsuit at the end of the 1930’s. 

 She created a collection inspired by the coming war which included 

a women’s jumpsuit cut from silk with large front pockets. 

While these were met with positive reactions, luxury 

jumpsuits were put on hold as WWII began. 

Thus, the jumpsuit’s early roots were not exactly the 

epitome of glamour but instead used for utilitarian purposes. 

During WWII the jumpsuit became a staple of women who 

worked in factories and soon gained widespread acceptance 

for casual wear and for work at home in the garden. 

The jumpsuit’s name was derived literally from its specific purpose 

for jumping from planes. Pilots and race car drivers also 

adopted this garment for their use, making it also synonymous
with extremely dangerous work. (Not making it exactly chic). 

The actress Katherine Hepburn helped to shape the styling 

of the jumpsuit as she appeared in several movies wearing 

elegant, wide legged trousers. 

Shoulder pads also became popular to highlight the 

masculine, military look. They also added an interest to the 

shape of the slim silhouette. 

From these fashion derivatives the jumpsuit evolved. 

Today, nothing compares to the sartorial speed and effortlessness attire 

like the jumpsuit. It is no wonder that this versatile outfit has become so popular. 

This BakaBoo Baka Floral Cut Jumpsuit fits in perfectly 

with my busy lifestyle here in Second Life.

This garment comes in three color versions:
Yin-Yang (Grey & Black), Yin (Gold & Blue) & Yang (Powder Blue & Grey). 

It is chic, sophisticated, uncomplicated to wear 

and it can be worn for just about any occasion. 

For me, this jumpsuit makes the ultimate statement 

for the modern woman and an investment piece 

worthy of topping your SL shopping list.
