Delaney Whippet, the avatar behind Microphage has been hard at work growing her eclectic mix of designs with new additions. Delaney is a fairly new designer whose line is strongly influenced by real world fashion houses including Pucci, Miu Miu and Anna Sui.

Directly below is Delaney’s newest dress, “Aria,” which is excellently executed. Now granted, I don’t often wear hot pink but I really like the colors used in the dress and especially the detail of the cinched midsection, which is perfect. Another thing Delaney is fantastic about is layers - so you can wear any of what you see here on any other layer practically. Aria should be available tomorrow.

Delaney also shared some of what you can already find at Microphage, so I picked out a couple of my favorites including these tops below. The two on the left are the “Keyhole” tanks, which are also very well done. I think my favorite of the tops is the “Chevron” tank, shown here in yellow. Fantastic underwire detail and soft, neutral colors.

Also released previously is the “Hope Zipper” dress in black, which is more clubwear than I typically wear. That said, I appreciate the detailed zipper, good shading and multicolor belts - again, provided on all the layers for easy mixing. While this wasn’t my favorite of the items I tried, it’s still well done.

As for hair…I bought the very Amy Winehouse-like Nalirra hair from HCT at the Hairspray sim, not realizing that this pack was *all* multicolored *smacks head* (it was such a great deal though - $300L for the whole pack). And yes, this is a rather sudden departure from what you typically see on me and I thought it was fun to wear with these very colorful outfits.

The other hair is new from Cake and you have to see it in world to fully appreciate how it moves. It’s wild and crazy but very beautiful.

And yes, I did brave the lag at ETD tonight (welcome back Elika) and got everything I could before I crashed. I’m sure the blogs will be full of ETD for days to come. It’s so good to have her back and the new styles and textures are fantastic.

Have you been to ~silent sparrow~ lately? I hadn’t been for a while so I got a kick in the virtual ass and got myself back in gear. This is the unisex “Dirigible” coat from hyasynth Tiramisu and it comes in four rich colors with limitless ways to wear it. Well perhaps not limitless - but a lot.

(click ss-dirigible1.jpg for full size)

The coat comes with jacket, three system jacket bottoms (skirt layer) in short, medium and long lengths, and flexi tails should you choose to wear them. The texture on this crimson version is excellent, as are the details on the buttons and buckles. The only thing I wish it had is a prim collar.

I love the system bottoms but if you don’t like your bottom in the mesh layer, slip on your dress shape for this one. Do men have “dress shapes” too? Since this coat is unisex, it’s a real question.

The price is $300L, which I think is excellent for all you can do with it.

While you are there, do check-out the limited releases from the joint collaboration between hyasynth and Draconic Lioncourt - the Danse Macabre offerings. The collection is incredibly unique and well done.
