FINESMITH: Candybird Boots - Black

Hey Guys,

Is that a bird? It's a plane? It's...well it's actually boots; but don't let the sweet name fool you.  Candybird boots from FINESMITH are FIERCE with a capital "F".


The Candybird Boots are in a large variety of colors including:


  • Fuchsia
  • Baige
  • Pink (there are two types of pink boots)
  • White
  • Mustard
  • Blue
  • Brown
  • Black
  • Grey
  • Green


The particular pair that I am have on in the photo are the black version of these boots.  What I find some intriguing about these boots are the side view of them.  Just the high heel and the adornments at the top of the boot really makes it stand out from all over boots of that kind.  I especially love the oversized fabric folded up and out of the opening of the boot; kind of like oversized socks or something like that.

Overall, each and ever pair of boots are special in their own ways and cannot wait to see what comes next in the shoe department of FINESMITH.

New Release from Deesse's Skins

Hey Guys,

I have the pleasure of blogging some new February limited edition skins from the very talented Natalie Wells, or just Natalie if you prefer.  She is the creator and CEO of Deesse's Skins and i had the chance to three of the new skins; Aylin, Angeline, and Mariah.




Each set of skins comes with four kinds of skins.  Then within each type of skin, it comes with either one with a hair base (HB) or one without a hair base.  Along with that choice, you have the option to wear a layer to give yourself cleavage or not.  

The skins, in my opinion, are very realistic and have a touch of color in all of them; well, besides the natural ones LOL.  

Overall, these are some awesome skins and are well worth the L$990 price tag.

FINESMITH: Heartology

Hey Guys,

I am so sorry for that lack of posting lately, I have had some horrid computer problems resulting in my not being able to use PS, get photos, or log into SL.  After hours of support help and time, I am back and ready to start posting again!!

To start off, I think he ate me heart...


Heartology is here at FINESMITH and ready to take flight.  This angelic jewelry set that was just release has three key pieces in total.  There is a bracelet with the recurring wing and love theme.  You can see this theme in the necklace with the wings and heart combination.  Along with the length of the necklace that reach to mid torso.

The most eye-catching piece of the entire Heartology set would be the wings that are spreading out to take flight with.  These wings are just such a wonderful piece of art really.  I honestly cannot think of the words to describe how wonderful this set makes me feel.  Thank you Yula for this angelic set.

xoxo,

New Release from FINESMITH: Sense of Snow

Hey Guys,

Here is part one of a two part series of sense of...  The first one I will be blogging will be the Sense of Snow Outfit from FINESMITH


The sense of snow outfit is a breath-chilling outfit with the spherical elements dancing around the body like gems.  The outfit has this explosion of spheres around the upper legs that just seem to jet outward in a random order of things

The sphere seem to collimate at the waist were a mesh corset is worn to show of the tiny waist of anyone who wear this.  Then at the top, there seems to be an enlarged collar that makes you feel like you're the Ice Queen herself.

Overall, this Sense of Snow is such a beautiful piece of work.  It seems to hug ever inch of you body and shots outward like some kind of winter fantasy, but expressed in an outfit.  FINESMITH as released yet another grand piece.  Now only if things could get a bit warmer...

Limited Editions: REHANA Collection from FINESMITH

Hey Guys,

So i get some info for you, if you are looking for just a new collection of jewelry to wear.  Look no further then just released pieces from FINESMITH called the REHANA Collection.


The REHANA Collection was created with matching earrings, a beautiful necklace and ring accessory.  The necklace, to me, kind of makes the wear look elegant with the way the gems are placed on the necklace and especially on the ring with the overlapping of gems.  I just love the piece that seem to be protruding outward especially on the earrings; just has the effect of making the earrings look larger and therefore making the ears appear smaller.  What girl wouldn't want to have something smaller on them. 

In the picture above, I am wearing the Vintage set that has an array of different purple and violet shades as the gems.  Also in the REHANA Collectio, there are the following sets: 

The Africa Set has red, yellow,black, and mint gems on wood bands 

The Black Set has black gems with black bands

The Bronze Set has black gems with bronze bands

The Platinum Set has black gems with platinum bands

The Rojo Set has red, yellow, and mint gems with red bands

The Sunshine Set has yellow, black, and mint gems with yellow and black gradient bands

Each set is as beautiful as the set before it.  Now, the kicked in this situation is that since this collection is only limited edition.  Then only the first 30 people to come to FINESMITH Main Store and get that pair or pairs you want.  There is actually 50 Platinum Sets due to the overwhelming love of the platinum pieces FINESMITH has been releasing as of late.  

SO FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!

FINESMITH Chamonix

Hey Guys,

This new release from FINESMITH, Chamonix, is such a breath of fresh air.  Kind of ironic because some of the jewelry set was crafted and combined with wood elements.  I absolutaly love it when Yula using such strange and unique pieces with her jewelry.




The Chamonix Set is a combination of a bracelet, necklace, and matching earrings all inspired by a forest and the tree roots.  Such earthy colors are in this set including coral and turquoise which are fused together with wood pieces that i believe Yula searched for.  In addition to these more earthier pieces, there are onyx and white colors with gold and platinum fusions.

The necklace is one of the most interesting and eye-catching pieces in this set because it makes me fantasize about how the red gem remind me of the heart and the ever reaching roots look to be crowing outward across the chest.  Binding the jewelry with the person wearing it.  For some reason, i makes me think of the Grimm Brothers and their dark fariytales.  You can see the same effect of the reaching roots on the bracelet and on both the earrings.

Overall, i really appreciate the fantasized idea of the amalgamation of both precious metals and earthy woods to created what is now the Chamonix Set.

Tae

MVW Jewelry from FINESMITH Part Douze

Hey Guys,

For my twelfth installment in the Miss Virtual World FINESMITH Jewelry series, I've decided to do Giuls Scarpulla's, Miss Argentina.


Such a touch of elegance when someone is wearing this complete set.  Such a classy presentation of how simple can be more.  There is only a necklace, earrings, and a hair piece; but that is more then enough for this set to be breath-taking.  All three pieces resemble, of course, flowers with protruding stamens that jet out a good length. 

Overall, this set is such a cute and well crafted set from FINESMITH. In all seriousness,anyone who wears it will also feel the rush of spring on themselves, even if it is the dead of winter for most.

FINESMITH Inspiration Set: Aphrodite Brianna

Hey Guys,

So this is gonna be a change from what from my last couple (eleven) posts have been.  Yes, it is time to bring back the inspiration sets the FINESMITH started when she had her MUSE 2012 Contest.  This inspiration set belongs to the one and only goddess her, Aphrodite Brianna.


This eclectic set is something new that FINESMITH hasn't really release before.  The entire set reminds me of a speed skate racer.  I think it's because the helmet that rest upon your head.  Actually, this is one of my favorite pieces FINESMITH has release since the new year.Its something different and unique; and that is what I am all about.

Another pieces that i absolutely love would be the lip piercing.  This is new to FINESMITH as well in regard to lip piercings.  In addition to the lip piercing and the helmet; the duel earring, that i think look fierce when worn together, really around out the uniqueness and diversity this whole set has that hasn't been seen before.  

Of course, i couldn't make this an official FINESMITH blog post without commenting on the flour accents that FINESMITH jewelry has come to be known for and loved for.  You can see these accents in the earrings, bracelets, ring, collar, and neck piece.

MVW Jewelry from FINESMITH Part Onze

Hey Guys,

For the eleventh installment of the Miss Virtual World Jewelry from FINESMITH comes to us from the scenic land of Iceland.  And the beautiful woman who represents this country is Aphrodite Brianna.


One glaringly wrong fact about Iceland is that is a cold and decollate country where you are more likely to see arctic animals instead of growing flowers.  Those people would be wrong, including me.  I totally thought Iceland was covered in ice.  On the contrary, Iceland is a very green and wilding natural place to live.  

I think Yula decided this jewelry set to reflect just that idea of the natural scenery of Iceland.  There are mountain ranges and field full of flowers and grass as far as the eye can see.  There is a stunning large headpiece that resembles a flower with protruding miniature floral pieces that seems to jet out randomly.  This very similar pieces can be seen as the ring, earrings, and eye piecring.

Overall, Yula Finesmith really made this piece represent what Iceland really is, a beautiful landscape country that is wroth the time and effect to visit in the North Atlantic Ocean.

MVW Jewelry from FINESMITH Part Dix

Hey Guys,

For the tenth installment of the Miss Virtual World Jewelry set from FINESMITH.  This blog post is about Miss Panama, Mely Gibbs formal jewelry set.


Such a regal and beautiful pieces in the set, and all for the beautiful and talented Mely Gibbs, Miss Panama.  The stand out piece has to be the necklace which appear to have layers upon layers of gold slowly rolling down the neck, kind of like honey.  There are floral pieces in a couple of the layers on the necklace as well as in the tiara comb in the hair.  

There are in addition to the necklace and tiara comb, matching bracelets and earrings that go brilliant with this set.  All in all, Miss Panama was decked out in gold, which is fitting because of the abundance of gold in the around Panama.

MVW Jewelry from FINESMITH Part Nuef

Hey Guys,

For this Miss Virtual World installment, I have the pleasure of blogging Rissa Friller, Miss Australia's, Formal Jewelry Piece from FINESMITH.


Once again, Miss Australia is going with a tropical and Aussie color scheme with the green, red, and silver color pallet.  Both the necklace and bracelet have the swirling pieces, no doubt giving a nod to the fact that Australia is an island and therefore has waves.  Anyways, these swirling pieces are finished off with red adornments and a green band that wraps around under the swirls.  The necklace is asymmetrical with the swirls on the right side of the piece, unlike the bracelet, which is symmetrical.

To top off this set, there are a pair of floral red earrings that add the sense of the wilderness that Australia possess. There is also a matching ring piece that matches both the necklace and braclet. 

Overall, this set, in my option, does quiet the nice job protracting Australia in the nature sense of the place.  FINESMITH has done yet an another job with another Miss Virtual World Jewelry set.

MVW Jewelry from FINESMITH Part Huit

Hey Guys,

I have the the pleasure to be able to bring you guys the formal jewelery worn by Falbala Fairey, Miss Germany.


This first picture has the front of the formal jewelry.  The piece to me that stands out would be the hips pieces that have a flour bouquet  on the left hip and have the stamen jetting out; kind of like a firework displace.  In addition to this hip piece, there is an accompaniment of a bracelet, matching earrings, and a necklace that concludes on the next picture.


This second picture shows of the back of this Miss Germany's formal jewelry set.  The necklace appears, in the front, to be just a simple necklace.  Little do some people know, once you turn around and show off the back, they will simply melt in their seats.  This extra long tail in the back of the necklace reaches almost to your waist.  There are simple little floral adornments all along the necklace itself and the tail.

Yula Finesmith really outdid herself when she crafted this set.  There is so much uniqueness to this set that it really is a show stopper and deserve to be shown to the public and worn with proud.

Hey Guys,

Seventh installment of the Miss Virtual World Jewelry pieces and sets from FINESMITH.  This set is called, Dornroeschen- MVW NATIONAL- MISS GERMANY.  Dornroeschen, in english, means Thorn Rose.  This seems to be Yula Finesmith signature style to name some of her pieces in different languages, but means all the same time.


This set comes from the one and only Falbala Fairey, Miss Germany.  It is said that this set is a culmination and inspiration from the Grimm Brother Fairy tails...which orginating from Germany.

This set comes with a necklace adorned with blue and silver flowers scattered about the necklace and a very ornate head piece.  Yula also brought the flowers down the body in a scatted pattern.  There is a large hair comb that has these protruding sections coming out at asymmetrical angles.  In addition to this comb, there is a kind of halo that is perched at an angle on your hair.  The combination of these three pieces in this set, is just beautiful and breath-taking.  I am in love with it haha.
