SL Fashion: Jekyll & Hyde; When two worlds Collide



This has been a long time coming, I took a bit of a break after my crazy Flickr/Blog frenzy month in April. I lost a bit of confidence in doing this due to a few people; who will remain nameless putting me down. That being said I'm back to prove that those few who saw it fit to bash my work aren't going to get the best of me and I am going to enjoy creating these worlds inside my second life. I am also going to keep sharing them with anyone who cares to take a look inside the inner-workings of my mind; I hope you enjoy. This story is one with a hidden meaning behind it, can you guess what it is? The story of sworn enemies bound in an endless battle on fighting for the light, the other hell bent to shroud the light in darkness. Yet even as they despised one another they knew one could not exist without the other. They also knew if one of them were to parish the other would soon follow. Should the other survive the death of the other they would remain forever changed. Would they be changed for the better or for the worse? That's for you to decide... but one hopes no one will ever find out, so we continue to observe this Jekyll and Hyde story. If you liked this be sure to follow my Flickr and get a closer look at each of these photos. Also, if you enjoy my Blog work follow me here as well and feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook. Much Love, Aspen.

SL Fashion: Rainbow Sprite feat. Cubura & Fantasy Faire


I'm having a bit too much fun at my first Fantasy Faire, this was a twist on those old rainbow bright dolls and given a pixie/sprite twist; along with a punk vibe with added tattoos and piercings I love. A more casual look to roam the grounds of the Faire but still keeping in the fantasy spirit. The ombred tank and partnered shorts by Cubura were a perfect match to the rainbow wings by Faeline Fairy and paired with the trixie socks by RIOT and studded tip toe shoes by KingbalStores it was a little too good to be true. I am definitely not complaining though. I feel all the happiness and warmth of spring in this outfit even if it is still a little chilly outside. If you still haven't taken the time to go and check out Fantasy Faire what are you waiting for? Go check it out! It's been extended for an extra week so all vendors will be open for business on all sims until the 7th of May. Every sim is a beautiful place to explore and of course Fantasy Faire is a great advocate for Relay for Life which is a cause all of us can get behind. Be sure to follow my Flickr and get a closer look at each of these photos. Also, if you enjoy my Blog work follow me here as well and feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook. Much Love, Aspen.

SL Fashion: The Sea Nymph feat. Items from the Fantasy Faire


The world of fantasy is one we all love and escape into when life gets to be too much. Whether just your normal second life or deeper into the true realms of fantasy. It's a place where all of your dreams can come to life and you are safe; a true place of happiness. Which is why I have spent a lot of time at the Fantasy Faire enjoying time with fellow fans of all things mystical, mysterious and otherworldly. I couldn't have done all this without the people of Fantasy Faire and as well as the great designers behind all these amazing items. From the chained silks made by DeviousMind, to the wings made by Faeline Fairy, as well as the pixie ears made by ^^Swallow^^ and of course the tentacle flowers made by *Naminoke*. I can honestly say I've never made a look like this before and I am very proud of it and I hope you all enjoy it as well. If you haven't taken the time to go and check out Fantasy Faire I highly suggest you do so before it's gone on the 29th of this month. Not only is it a beautiful place to explore and shop it is a great advocate for Relay for Life which is a cause all of us can get behind. Be sure to follow my Flickr and get a closer look at each of these photos. Also, if you enjoy my Blog work follow me here as well and feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook.

SL Fashion: Raider King of the Apocalypse


Another one of my favorite genre's is post-apocalyptic and while I'd like to say heroic is the way to go, I'd be lying. Nothing is more fun than being a Chaotic Raider, aside from being the head bitch of the all the raiders of course. This is my spin that character; a confident, sexy, bad ass bitch you don't want to mess with. A full arsenal at his disposal and his own little haven to defend. The main components of this outfit are a mix and match from The Forge, Meva, Contraption and A&Y; with poses and props by *!R.O!* and Poseidon. It was a labor of love and when finished each piece brought an amazing, unique and sexy feel to this crazy raider king. Be sure to check out my Flickr for a closer look at each of these photos.

SL Fashion: The Deadly Sin of Lust


So, I decided to go back to my roots for this photo shoot and combine two passions of mine into one, but also add in another with a bit of elegant glamour that I have come to love. I started out in the BDSM community at the age of sixteen and it is still a big part of both my SL and real life. I also have always had a fascination with mythology and creatures like demons. One of my many favorites being the deadly sin of Lust and thus we have my personification of this creature. This look is a fun mix and match of items, rolled into one of my new favorite creations. From the newer things like the pixie ears by Mandala, leather arm covers by Cerberus Crossing [CX] and of course the sock and shoe combination I am obsessed with- Socks by RIOT and shoes by Pixicat. Then moving to the slightly older items that tie the outfit together; body harness by Abrasive, horns by E.A. Studio, long cigarette by Kurst, leather arm straps by NOCHE, tail by Aii and of course cock cage by Ravenoid. Each piece is just as amazing as the last and all coming together to create a truly wicked final look and bringing to life a demon that lives inside us all. For a closer look at this album be sure to check out and follow my Flickr as well as my blog if you enjoy my work and feel free to add me on Facebook. Much love, Aspen.

SL Fashion: The House Boi Bunny featured outfit from designer, The Oak @ Equal 10


So let me just start by once again saying if you haven't checked out Equal 10 yet you should definitely go check it out for yourself. It's something that needs to be experienced and is a cool place to hang out now that traffic has slowed. This amazing tank top and brief set by The Oak is probably one of my favorite things right now. I am obsessed with this look that was inspired by a mixture of old Hollywood glamour- mainly Marilyn Monroe and classic playboy to be specific. I tied up this look with a pink fur stole from The Whore Mansion, my favorite socks from RIOT, shoes by pixicat and of course bunny ears and tail by Aii. Also if you haven't checked out Shoetopia I highly suggest you check it out before it ends very soon, for all you fellow shoe fanatics. This has to be my favorite photo shoot to date and I hope you all enjoy as much as I do. Be sure to check out my Flickr for a closer look at the photos in the album and if you like my work be sure to follow me here at my blog and also my Flickr, also feel free to add me on Facebook.

SL Fashion: Warrior of the Mind feat. Cubura Armor from Equal 10 event


The new equal 10 event did not disappoint, the venue was very well put together and all around beautiful to look at. Honestly, if I wasn't trying to be considerate of others trying to get into the sim I would've just lingered there to enjoy the aesthetic scenery. I'll be posting more with other items from the event, this is however the main reason I went to Equal 10. The Cubura Tod Armor, which also comes with matching Tod Hooves which aren't shown here but are equally fantastic. I was going for a more dark Elven warrior look here but I have no doubt there will be many other looks to come from this outfit. I highly recommend checking out equal 10 and of course Cubura whenever you get the chance if you haven't already. Also be sure to follow my Flickr and check out the full album for a closer look at all the photos, also follow me here at my blog if you like my work and feel free to add me on Facebook. Much love, Aspen.

SL Fashion: Live fast, die young, bad boiz do it well.


First off let me say it's only the beginning of the month and the designers at these events are already KILLING it. If it keeps going like this I am going to have to start selling organs to keep up. That being said let's go in on the inspirations behind this outfit because can't get enough of it. Mostly because I love the bad boi/rock-a-billy vibe it gives off but also it has a lot to do with my newly acquired tip toe sneakers from Pixicat, they are my favorite thing in the world right now! Of course I wouldn't even be able to wear them without the help of RIOT and their amazing Trixie socks made for men that give us the tip toe feet and open up the world of shoe options. So along with the shoes these socks are EVERYTHING, and I just can't even. Of course I can't forget to mention my love of the top that pulls this bad boi rock-a-billy outfit together, by one of my favorite designers Cubura this belted crop top is another creation that is a must have so what are ya'll wanting for? Go get your gay on!

SL Fashion: Jekyll & Hyde; When two worlds Collide

This has been a long time coming, I took a bit of a break after my crazy Flickr/Blog frenzy month in April. I lost a bit of confidence...
