Acquisitive
DE Designs by DoC Eldritch was one of the first stores in SL that I found that knew where to draw the sometimes very thin line between sexy and tramp. There’s just something about DoC’s textures and designs that make me feel powerful, as well as sexy, when I wear them. DE Designs has been around so long, though, that the hoarde of “what’s new, what’s hot” seekers have perhaps forgotten just how good the clothing there really is. (Ok, I’m talking about myself here, but maybe you’re the same?) DE Designs stands up there next to stores like House of RFyre in terms of longevity and quality, imho. Case in point – DoC released a sexy new pants outfit called Cait this week. Take a look.
Cait is a basic, yet so sexy tank and corset combo with obligatory black leather pants. But the textures make it much more than basic. I am such a sucker for buckles and straps when they’re done this well.
The top comes on all available layers in combinations of black and red.
I confess I actually tp’d to the store to find the next outfit. The Chandra lingerie was released during the Valentine’s Day glut of pink and red. As you should know from my blog, I prefer the darker stuff. I remember drooling over Chandra when I saw DoC’s blog post, and I tucked it away in my mind for later retrieval. Omg, how I love Chandra!
More buckles and straps! Mmmmm. Look at those garters over the butt! Hot! Chandra comes in several colors, too. It’s actually a reworking of a dress set DoC did ealier – giving us more colors for the top.
Chandra comes in Black, Blue, Purple, and Tequila Sunrise. It comes with a long corset (shown above) as well as a cropped corset so that you can wear it with skirts. I put together a quick Chandra/Sn@tch outfit to show you.
I’ve blogged Ivey’s Spellbound skirts before, so forgive me for posting again. But they make any gorgeous jeweltone top into a sexy formal gown. Spellbound comes in several colors, too, so you’re ready for mixing and matching.
I must also gush about the hair in these photos before I go. Waka & Yuki released several new hairstyles last weekend. I fell in love with these two in particular and had to show you. Agata Model 03, the long style, is my new favorite. It has a color change or no-wear option little head band with trailing braided strings, all accessible via menu. Such a fun style! If you want to TP anywhere, however, you might want to take it off, coz it *is* lagalicious. Agata Model 04 is the elegant updo. This has to be my favorite updo of all time (for now lol). It’s an impossibly high updo with cascading waves. It also has a color change menu that allows you to change the color of the back portion of the hair independent from the front, which I didn’t show you. Waka & Yuki is my new favorite hair store, if you haven’t noticed from all my posts.
Finally, all jewelry worn today is by Ganked – a fairly new store quickly becoming famous for inexpensive big-ass jewelry. lol I mean *huge* jewels. So fun!
Ok, sorry for the long-winded post. I’ve been saving it up coz SL has been so freaking laggy ever since the Beta viewer release that I’ve had major inventory and texture loading issues.
Happy hunting, gathering, shopping, lovin’ (^ ^), etc. *mwah*!
