Talia's StyleFile - Elegance










If you haven't already discovered the Italian designers, where have you been? So many to choose from, but my top favs are Anubis Hartunian [Anubis], Elettra Gausman [*OC* ORAGE Creations], Patrizia Blessed [*PB collection*], Amanda Bolero [BOLERO COLLECTION MAIN & Shouted Couture], Chianera Cioc [CCC - Chianera Cioc Couture], Brenda Clellon [BEST OF ITALIAN STYLE], and of course ziamela Loon [Jador and also Shouted Couture], to name a few :). And don't worry, there will be other blogs and other Italian designers...I'm crazy about Italian designs.

This feature is on Anubis Hartunian of Anubis Style. Smart, elegant, sexy and sassy, she is style with an S-T-Y-L-E!

But before we dive into the fashions, a VERY SPECIAL MENTION goes to DCNY and Dawn Memorial and Dave Casanova for the lovely skin I am wearing. Lelah Dark Tan was released specially for the Maseno walk at Callie Cline's place and I was proud and delighted to wear it. Thank you.


1. is Sandra, complete with sunglasses that do not remove the eyelashes :)) I added the cutest silver shoes by rei2 Aya [R2 fashion main store] and a cheeky hairstyle by Helena Stringer [Stringer HQ's: Mausoleum ].

A note on Helena's "Mausoleum" - this store is worth a visit. Besides fun and high fashion, this is one very generous designer. You can pick up some fun freebies or so low priced they might as well be free, and they're mod, so whooooooopee! you can play with them :) I'm yours Helena. I love MOD.

Coco (2) is ELEGANCE ++++ and deserves delicate treatment, but not so delicate that the accessories fail to highlight this beautiful and utterly feminine design. The jewellry is Cora Lu's [Paper Couture] etched gold necklace set - elegant and stunning and a statement in itself, a marriage made in heaven between this dress and PC's jewellry. The 'booties' are once again from R2 and aren't they a delicious find? I had to drag myself out of that store. Hair is Quinn in gold by Sheltered Heart [House of Heart Designs]. Not normally a colour choice I would go for, but it had the 'glamour' of the old Hollywood movies I was looking for - ever watched those? I used to stay up late and watch reruns and pour over collected pics of Hollywood stars in the days when Glamour was everything and if you didn't have it, you just weren't 'in'. The back of this hairstyle is beautifully styled and those loose wispy bits really fit with the femininity of the lace of Anubis's Coco.

And now to play :) and making the most of an outfit.
Pic 3 is a combination of the skirt from Coco, and a freebie top of Anubis', found in one of the many treasure hunts SL loves to run. Now I don't know about you, but if I find a 'freebie' of quality and I haven't already been to that store, I'm there in a flash. I want more! This stylish red top adds a splash of drama and colour so I set it off with Stiletto Moody's Pinup Spike Red Tartan......mmmm.

Part of the delight of Coco is that the skirt under the lacey overlay, is a practical 'little black skirt' in itself, and don't we all need one of those in the inventory? Oh and btw (whispers) take a look at the undergarments closely sometime, they're a very nice surprise. Love that attention to detail Anubis :))

So where to buy all these yummy goodies? Read on.

About Me

My photo
I have double majors in English Literature and Theatre Studies, did my Fine Arts and MM studies, but I'm stuck with teaching myself Photoshop CS2 lol. Can't complain though, it's lots of fun. I'm a very private person until you get to know me, and even then, it takes time. Comes from being painfully shy as a child. I overcame that by being involved in theatre, but it's a 'learned' behaviour to be outgoing and not one that comes naturally. Being an INFP means that being outgoing for any length of time leaves me tired :) so I hide out somewhere quiet to recharge my batteries. If you're a friend, you won't be aware of it unless you've known me a very long time. The shyness and quietness shows up when I'm in a gathering where I don't know anyone.
