Bringing you THE BEST OF SECOND LIFE

LaGyo is a favorite brand for fashionistas who want strikingly stylish jewelry and accessories. So what happens when LaGyo creator-designer Gyorgyna Larnia gets together with Lucifer Berman to talk about clothes?

An astounding new joint venture called LG femme!

Located adjoining the LaGyo main store at Ryder Haven, the new brand has just opened for business, and, trust me, you won’t find anything like this elsewhere. From unique blouses, boleros, tops and dresses to leggings and eye-popping pants to headwear that is out of this world, LG femme does not disappoint.

I guess you can tell I’m positively giddy about it.

Here are just a few vendor photos of the merchandise you’ll find in the store. These items come in multiple shades and can be bought individually, in fat packs, or in complete styled outfits.

I couldn’t resist a little mix and match with some of the chic elements of LG femme.

In addition to the beautiful finalists, the Miss Bliss Couture 2010 event showcased the release of 5 stunning new formal gowns from Amutey Decuir for Bliss Couture. Varied in style, rich in textures, colors, and detail, these gowns are breathtakingly good.

I had the privilege of styling each gown in two different colors, and I traveled to 8 visually delightful sims to photograph the results. I hope you will be as enchanted with the new Bliss Couture designs as I am!

Most women wouldn’t be caught dead in real life without an attractive and functional purse. All too often in Second Life, we forget that all-important accessory. The truth is, if you really want a totally polished look, you must pay attention to your accessories - the right nail polish, jewelry, eyelashes, tattoo, hat, belt – and the right handbag can take your outfit from nice to fabulous.

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo is widely known for her creative and beautiful jewelry designs. But she’s also an accomplished accessory designer, as anyone can tell you who’s browsed her shop and seen her hats, scarves, headbands, and purses.

This week LaGyo launched 3 new collections of handbags, and they’re excellent as well as reasonably priced. These new bags will slide smoothly into fall and winter, too!
