CCTV Giant of Shoefly Shoes brings us the CrissCross Temptresses: a sexy En Vogue modern stilletto with a carved heel with plenty of straps and buckles to add a little edge to their sleek design. Inspired by RL shoe designer Guisseppe Zanotti — these are an exclusive design that will not be replicated in this ‘one of a kind’ style. Own a unique piece of footwear art!
Continuing with the unique accessories, we have the “Winter Rose” collection by Kia Greyskin of Worldly Treasures. This jewellery series is a beautiful confection of Winter Rose snowflakes set in shimmering icy silver enhanced with glittering flecks of gold and blue diamonds. Each prim is carefully handset to make this set unique in every way. The collection includes a tiara, 2 armlets, and a necklace. This is a one-of-a-kind collection fit for a lovely princess!
Kaimi’s Normal Wear brings us this stunning ballgown called “Shine”. This exclusive design from Kaimi Kyomoon, a change of pace for this casualwear designer, is guaranteed to brighten up any occasion with its festive charm. A grey strapless bodice and fluffy flexi skirt are covered in multicoloured, faceted sequins for a look that shimmers on the dance floor.
This lovely gown by International House of Style is named “Snow Falling on Cedars.” Tiny lace snowflakes kiss your skin as they settle gently from one shoulder, down through the bodice, and onto a green embroidered dupioni silk “cedar” base on the skirt. Holly berries and leaves perch in your hair, trailing diaphanous silk panels laced with embroidered snowflakes. Dare to be bare this winter and let the peace of snow falling on cedars remind you of the peace within us all.
SYNERGY is an upcoming skin line from OPIUM… the winner of this auction will receive a customized SYNERGY skin in four exclusive makeup options created for SHINE! You’ll have options to choose skintone, hair colour, eyebrow shape, freckles, beauty marks, and more! On Celebrity: Bronze tone with berry red stained lips, contoured blush, and a touch of brown liner.
“Afternoon Blue” by Ralektra Breda of RBZ Designs is a study in contrast with periwinkle blue velvet and black and white detailing. The waistband is inlaid with diamonds surrounding a black pearl, and this inlay is repeated on the brim of the blue velvet hat, which comes with or without a bow at the back. The lace trim, brooch at the front and the tiny pearl buttons at the back are all hand drawn. This dress comes with bodice and glitch pants on all available layers. The skirt consists of two parts, the regular skirt and a semi transparent overskirt, which gives it a very soft look and lovely movement.
Danielle Harrop of Dani’s boutique brings us her exclusive Shine formal gown. Smooth, sensual iridescent fabric changes from blues to greens with the light. The mermaid skirt flairs out from the knees, swishing and swaying as you walk, drawing attention to the slim silhouette of the system skirt (over glitch pants) accentuating your lovely lady curves as you dance the night away. The strapless bodice has lightweight boning and is accented with sequins and embroidery.
