Spotlight: Eye Candy Belisama's jewlery for Black Swan

Long enough title huh? Well in the spotlight today we have one of the offerings from Eye Candy that can be had from the Swan Song event over at Black Swan. Belisama's Mantle is sold as separate necklaces or the Liz Taylor pack which features all three, the option I totally suggest. First we will take a look at Belisama's Torc.

The Torc is the simplest of the three and I don't mean that in a bad way. Trust me when you see the other two you will understand. The gold of the Torc has a hammered sort of look to it in my opinion. I love the way the pieces flow from one to another so fluidly. Watch we got from Torc to the Jewels.

See what I was saying about flowing together? Notice how the the back is the same at the front of the Torc and now you have this fancy front. Now I have struggled with what to call the adornments hanging from the necklace, are they feathers, talons or am I putting too much thought into naming it instead of enjoying it's beauty? Last, but by no means least of the trio is the Mantle.

Again we have the flow from one piece to the next with the Mantle incorporating parts of the Torc and Jewels into it, but still being it's own at the same time. The Mantle is made up of red jeweled feathers. It just begs for an exposed back to showcase it in all it's glory. After seeing all three now you can understand why I called the Torc the "simplest" of the group. Click on the pictures for larger views, you won't be sorry.

Spotlight on Rebel-X Mareea



When I saw previews of this dress it just screamed Water Goddess to me and I wanted it...badly. Yes I know it seems weird that someone named Phire would be drawn to a watery dress. What can I say I likes what I likes. Mareea made up or a few different parts. I will start with the corset and panties part since it seems like it the is foundation upon everything is layered. The swirling colors send my thoughts drifting to dreams of a Caribbean vacation. When I come back to reality I notice the other details in the corset, the cute shells lining the bottom, which one could mistake for a wave, (at least I did at first), the same shells in a different color keeping the front closed. And I just noticed as I am writing this there is a seahorse on the back of the corset. A photo opportunity fail on my part.



Next up is the skirt and shoulder ruffles, since we are layering here. The skirt has a lovely sculpted sweep to it as if it was made by a wave. The sheer netting just finishes off the the whole goddess feel, at least for me. Oh I almost forgot there is even a little prim ruffle for the very top of the corset. Sadly it is a little too hard to see in my picture.

Now for the final touch, the jewelry. The armbands and necklace made of shells work nicely with the overall look. I adore the texture of these shells because they seem to shimmer, even though I know they aren't.Now if all these pieces alone weren't enough check this out, The necklace and ruffle can be attached as one or separately and on different attachment points. The corset pieces come on all layers. My head was spinning when I saw it all!
