You have seen by now that Starley Thereian just dropped a mixed release of separates and dresses at Celestial Studios - featuring suede trousers, pleated minis, sundresses and draped tees. My favorites of the bunch have to be the very versatile suede pants. For all the reasons I loved her new jeans, I love these too. I happen to own a pair of suede pants offline that are nearly identical to the patched style of these - and I heart them (like whoa). For starters, take a look at the textures!

The pretty skin I am wearing in the first snap is an Eloh mod by Valena Glushenko, owner and designer of Diamonde, called “Gillian.” Valena asked me to pick my favorite makeup look and she did an artful job on the tangerine eyes and pale lips. My ring is also sold in the pack you get with this particular mod (and yes, it’s orange and violet flowers). Look for more of these special mods from Valena soon - I know the next one coming is especially beautiful but I can’t tell you who the subject is You should also check out Valena and Rachelle’s new fashion blog, “Lady and the Tramp.” Brilliant idea for showcasing opposing styles and gorgeous photos.

Back to the perfect suede trousers…they come in six colors and are provided on all the usable layers, with three types of sculpted cuffs, and again, line up with the previously released belts.

So much more after the cut…

My next faves are the pleated skirts with awesome sculpted belt. I don’t know about anyone else, but adding a prim belt to a skirt for me is tricky, so I’m super happy when one comes with the actual skirt (and resizes so easily!).

They come in numerous washes, similar to the previously released jeans - so you can use the destroyed washes for something more urban or go more for a springy-ish look perhaps with the lighter washes. You also get two skirts in every pack - with gold and silver belt options.

Apologies that my typical Windlight preset now looks like a nuclear winter after the last update, but don’t Starley’s hair textures hold up perfectly in the harsh light?

Sundresses? Yes! These are the sweet “Bree” dresses, that come in 6 colors, with flexi skirt and pretty tulle underlay. The skirt also features a hip hugging sculpted belt, which I think finishes the dress perfectly.

More Bree colors…I can’t pick a favorite actually.

My shoes are the ETD “Hampton” wedges above, and below, the RLF Limited Edition “Venus” heels in a special pink from Lyra Muse and Jaywalk. If you haven’t been by, she has several LEs set out for Relay For Life - including an awesome pink leather boot! The Jaywalk Grand Opening is Monday starting at 9:00 a.m. SLT and Lyra is giving away some fab prizes - including a $10,000L gift card

Finally, the “Rainbow” draped tees with sculpted bow. You know me and bows so that was enough, but add great textures and a bias cut? Done and done.

You know where to find them all…Celestial Studios
