Shai released a whole line of new dresses at the Casa - all different and all masterfully done. These were my favorites based on the colors, cuts and styles.

The jewelry worn in some of my snaps is from Swallowtail, a shop that I was introduced to (thanks, Moisie!) a month or so ago, but at that point, the accessories were mostly non-prim. Now, there is a lovely selection of prim accessories - sculpted necklaces, bracelets and corsages. I highly recommend a look for beautiful pieces, low on price but high on detail.

Starting it off with Shai’s “Saffron Sun” dress - a crepe system skirt, bodice and feathered waist attachment. I picked this based on the color, which is warm and beautiful. The texturing - as with everything I have ever seen from Shai - is detailed and unique. The necklace is the sculpted red beaded necklace from Swallowtail, which I thought went quite well.

Here’s a closer look at the necklace, which is $200L. I paired the whole ensemble with the simple amber drops from Diamonde, which I love. I lacked a simple gold drop earring in SL and thankfully Valena rescued me. Diamonde offers a small but growing selection of beautiful pieces to complete your look. I want more!

More after the jump…

My favorite release from the whole collection is the “Lilac Wine” mini with skirt base, top, prim skirt addition (panel) and “frou frou” collar, which is what won me over. The earrings are the onyx drops also from Diamonde and the makeup I thought looked best to match the purple is from Tete a Pied - Sultry 2 from the Vivant line.

Below is another necklace from Swallowtail - the sculpted chain/pearl necklace. I think it’s a beautiful piece and am so glad I was pointed toward this great little shop.

My final pick from Shai’s newest releases is the “Blue Flapper” dress. Now aside from the fact that it’s a fun, flirty dress, it has a scripted skirt, which lifts from time to time as if you’re standing over a subway grate. Tons of fun to wear and photograph. The color is beautiful and the feathered skirt and shoulder accent are perfect.

Lastly, this is actually a free sculpted corsage from Swallowtail, and there are several more that you can find at the store in various colors and styles. I believe this was sent via Fashion Consolidated a few weeks back but I only just realized it was from the same shop this morning.

That’s it from me. Have a great Sunday!
