On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Six Geese a Laying, Five Golden Rings! Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Today I have the sixth dress in this amazing 12 item holiday collection from Moxie Polano of Moxie Polanos Haute Styles. 6 Geese a Laying is a one shouldered cocktail length dress. This amazing design is a feathered fantasy! A simple black bow rests just beneath the breasts while a cascade of feathers covers the skirt. A feathered collar, which matches the gloves, dances about the top hem of the bodice.

The grand finale is the ravishing hat which is filled with 6 geese a laying! There's one large goose on top of the hat, silently protecting the eggs. Along the back brim, you can find five more geese lounging about.

This striking outfit can only be found at Moxie's flagship store on the Haute Couture sim! Get down there now and check it out for yourself!

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Two Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

A pair of appliqued turtle doves rest on the bodice of this one shouldered dress. A dainty, paisley lace, which is reminiscent of the turtle doves, flows gently over the cocktail length skirt. An adornment of ribbon and feathers rests on the shoulder, and the dress come with sheer, black stockings.

Here you can see the amazing detail with which the Turtle Doves were created. The prim adornment on the shoulder has such unique movement. Moxie's ability to get the perfect movement on her prims never fails to amaze me!

Please visit Moxie Polanos Haute Styles and get this one for yourself. And don't forgot to stop by her lucky chair too!

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

A Partridge in a Pear Tree! And in this case, my true love is Moxie Polano! Now, I know I have blogged about her twice already since the recent start of my blog, but it has not been intentional! The first time, I had won that amazing Candy Cane gown from her lucky chair, and I had to share that! Then I did a blog on this sweet, icy winter skin I got as a group gift, and one of her gowns just happened to go with it so nicely.

I am going to share with you all Moxie's 12 days of Christmas Holiday Collection. Of course, on the first day, you have a Partridge in a Pear Tree. And what you have here, is, well, just that!!

What you are seeing is a spectacular mermaid style gown crafted of fine satin and chiffon featuring a unique pear branch collar with a sweet Partridge perched on the shoulder, and a matching head-piece.

Upon closer inspection, you can see the amazing prim work she has intricately designed making this dress a true one of a kind. From the quirky Partridge, to the pears with their slight glow, the time spent creating this is unimaginable.

Here you can see the matching headpiece. A long branch reaches to the heavens, while juicy pears and delicate flowers rest in the leaves.

Stay tuned to my blog for a new piece from this amazing collection everyday. You can also get on down to her store, Moxie Polanos Haute Styles, and snatch them up for yourself!

"Review" Maitreya

Back over the summer, there was an exciting event for fashion bloggers, it was Blogger Appreciation Week. We were all offered a completely STUPID amount of gifts...so many that I could barely keep track of them all!

One of my potential goals upon my recent return to SL was to organize my inventory (yeah right...), and I think we all know how that tends to go! At any rate, I found a $2500L gift card from Blogger Appreciation Week from Maitreya! Considering it had been so long since that time, I didn't really think it'd be honored for me. I IM'd Onyx LeShelle, the owner and creator of Maitreya, and she happily told me she'd accept it! Yipee! I went from hoping to slim down my inventory, to promptly beefing it up!

There's definately a lot to choose from at Maitreya. Hair, shoes, clothing, and poses. I don't own much clothing from Maitreya, so that is what I chose for my gift card. I also picked out a pair of the Maitreya Gold line of shoes, which I hadn't seen since my departure from SL.

I really loved the HighSkirt as soon as I saw it. Very classy, and I can see it easily being dressed down for the office, or dressed up for any special occasion. There are several color options to choose from, but I went with Valentino.

Upon wandering the store, I noticed the Savoir Turtleneck Top and instantly knew it'd go great with the skirt. I chose the Lavender, finding it to be a nice color combination with the skirt. I still needed one more accessory to go with, so I stopped by the scarf table. The Long Scarf in Plum was just what I needed. This is no ordinary scarf however, it has multiple settings so you can wear it in several different stationary poses, or you can have it in a flexi option, which I prefer best.

I left the clothing area and found myself drooling in the Maitreya Gold building. Gorgeous designs with prim toes were abounding! Seeing as these style of shoes are all the rage these days in SL, I had to try a pair out. I chose the Shanti in Grape, to match my prior purple-ness. The shoes come with a HUD to attach, and that is where you can do all of the color adjustments. I found it very easy to match to my skin, as Onyx has included a popular list of skins that she has already matched. Luckily, my Laqroki skin was on the list!

Nothing on my head is included in the Maitreya review, but I had to show you these adorable snowflake lashes! They are free at Worldwide Industries in the POE Grid Wide hunt! You should definitly go and get them.

I hope you enjoyed my review of Maitreya, and feel free to stop on in there, and check all the gioodies for yourself.

"Lucky Chair" Moxie Polanos

Aahh... Moxie Polanos. If you have not been there, you must go now! Moxie specializes in gorgeous masquerade style gowns, but she also has adorable casual wear, and some business style outfits. One of the things I love most about her store is the LUCKY CHAIR! She always has seriously fab items in it! It is kind of a bitch getting a good letter drawn, however. It likes to put out X's and Q's and Z's, but the wait is well worth it as you are about to see!

Right now, there are several amazing holiday outfits in the chair. You can also score these hot little Christmas boots, which she calls the Berry Red Holly Boots.

I was lucky enough to wait around for just the right amount of time to get the top prize, this gorgeous holiday dress, the Candy Cane Gown. The detailing she puts into her clothing is just spectacular. From the dainty scarf carefully tied around the neck, the laced up back, to the gorgeous lace hem, no detail is missed.

I just adore the intricate snowflakes that grace the top of the skirt. You can see them well in this picture which also shows the sexy back of the dress.

Along the right side of the gown is a lovely bow which gives way to a cascade of red and white fabric. It nicely matches the strapless bodice, while the long, red gloves compliment the skirt.

I hope you'll go visit Moxie Polanos, not just for the lucky chair, but for all of the other amazing creations she has for you. Happy Holidays!
