I was first introduced to Moxie Polano through Crimson Shadow a ways back. It was there I fell in love a bit - with her dresses that is. Now under her newer label Haute Style & Co. that she shares with Forda Fairlaine, Moxie continues to offer some of what I think are the loveliest gowns, if that’s your thing.

The truth is, I have no real use for gowns in SL on a regular basis - but I still collect them because I can! This “Le Mystique” gown simply took my breath away. From the side gathered bow to the cascade of flowers adorning the chest and the luscious color and delicate skirt. For me, it was irresistible as in something I would very much admire offline.

And another gown to catch my eye was “Dynasty.” Much more subtle, but with an interesting collar (and of course a BOW <3 on the back), it is best appreciated close-up for the lovely textures and details. My earrings are from the queen of bold, Valena Glushenko’s Diamonde label.

Though I know these snaps won’t really do the dress much justice, the whole look for me was very appealing. I do appreciate a simple black dress with a twist
