Can you feel the heat?

Tradewinds 

In HOT colors, fans the flames!

The newest release from Ever An' Angel evokes the image of hot summer days and cool tropical breezes, and the sound of gentle surf.  Created out of the softest natural cotton, the palazzo pants flow freely down long legs from the daring lace waistband.  The fine fabric clings to just the right places before the legs flare out to pool at your feet, marking each graceful stride with the satisfying swish and flow of the cool cotton.  The top is deceptively simple, tying below the bust, to create a deep veed neckline, and long snug sleeves to balance the bareness of midriff.  All this, done up in sizzling colors!  I am wearing "raspberry", sweet and satisfying as summer sorbet.  

Tradewinds is also available, in this exclusive color,  at the Courage event (click the word Courage to go there), sponsored by Models Giving Back to benefit those devastated by the wildfires in Canada.  Modeled here by the glorious Quix.  

Rhaenys is wearing:

Ever An' Angel: Tradewinds, Raspberry

The newest releases from Ever An' Angel

Byron Bay and Garden Fete

and a few surprises! 

The newest offering from Ever An' Angel is a swirled confection of print and solid, jewels and fun.  The finest of Indian cottons in the most playful and vibrant prints!  The skirt wraps delightfully around your body, draped expertly, and belted at the hips by the colorful weight of a silver gypsy belt.  The cropped top lays bare a summer kissed torso.  This look calls to the free, the uninhibited, and begs you to dance in the sunlight, or the moonlight, but DANCE!

You will mesmerize as you move and sway to your own music.  The drape and fall of the fabric moving with you.  And while you may dance like no one is watching, most assuredly you will be noticed!  

For those garden weddings, strolls in the park, or just to treat yourself to a flatteringly feminine look, try this new look, Garden Fete, by Ever An' Angel. A sweet floral print, short and to the point, with the sweet detail of a ribboned back, it is at once demure and enticing.  In NINE of summer's favorite colors!  It will be difficult to choose just ONE!

You will feel so special, like a gift to the world, tied with a ribbon, when you don this sweet dress. The bow is just that super finishing touch that is the hallmark of Ever An' Angel.

And, available May 16, the newest corner at Ever An' Angel combines pieces from current and past looks to create a completely new look to delight you!  This look is perfect for garden parties, Coachella, walking in the park, or creating your own music!  

For you bargain lovers, I looked up at the sale level, the third tier at Ever An' Angel, and saw "Coffee = Art," a part of the retired collection!  I love this dress and here it is, worn on a Maitreya body!  It's a great casual summer look for beaches, holidays, resorts, and comes with some great jewelry!  In all those yummy barrista colors and a steal at only 100L!

Great looks, great bargains, and a sneak peek!

Three great looks, three great bargains! 

Be sure to read all the way to the bottom for a sneak peek at the new Expressions III Coming soon!

I feel a "sin" coming on!

At first look this new gown from Ever An' Angel, Essex Gala Gown, seems demure, utterly feminine.  The perfect placement of the flower design accenting the curve of your waist, the flare of hips.  The flow of the softest of fine linen laying lovingly against your skin.  

But from the back, you realize this gown is held daringly to your body by three thin straps, laying bare the full length of supple spine. The scooped back dipping dangerously low, just skimming the edge of decency.  Here I paired this sunshine color with sandals and flowers in my hair, but you can dress this look up and shake up the next formal dinner!  (this color is available at the Zuri Mall as part of the Easter hunt!  So you can get it for FREE and when you fall in love with it, pick out one or nine of the other scrumptious colors available) 

A bit less daring, but oh so pretty, the March group gift!

At Ever An' Angel

This is the "Morning Song" gown, in the color Seaside.  Ever is so generous, two gorgeous looks, and both FREE!  I love the sway and movement of this gown.  Elegant perfection is what you will be out on the dance floor!  And March is quickly coming to an end, so get into the store and pick up your gorgeous gown today!  (I am wearing the Fleur earrings from Semi-Precious in antique.  I am also wearing Tone Expressions II lips in Lychee (stain first layered over with gloss) and the Smolder eyes in Gale.  Hair is by No Match in the style No Fate. Maitreya body.)

Ever's Complete Corner, only 200L with a special sne.ak peek!

I am always so excited when Ever puts a corner together, because I KNOW it's going to be fabulous, and this corner is no exception.  Start with the great fitting "Flirt" jeans, and add that sassy tied top from the Sandpiper set.  Perfection!  BUT the big story is the makeup!  It's a sneak peek at the soon to be released Expressions III.  And it's so gorgeous!  This is truly the make up you've been looking for!  

Speaking of make up

For the Essex Gala look I am wearing Tone Expressions II makeup.  The lips are the lip stain in in Coral.  The eyes are the Reflection eye in Sunrise, with the Hybrid Liner 8 over that.  I am also wearing the Bronzer in Neutral.  (The hair is by Exile, "Coming Up Daisies" and I am wearing Semi-Precious' Daisy bracelet and Earrings. Shoes: Hucci Majuro Sandal - Beach. I am wearing the Maitreya body, with skin by Glam Affair (Cleo in the shade Europa), and my own shape.)  

And the NEW Tone Expressions III sneak peek in the corner look is Eye Polish in Sweet Pea, and the lips are Lip Polish in Peach (isn't it yummy?)  (The hair is by Magika and is named "Fool for Love".)

Come in to Ever An' Angel and see what's new!  You'll be glad you did!  

Vintage with a dash of sass!

Harking back to the 30's but very NOW!

OR: Yes, we're all going to miss Downton Abby

Evocative of a time of cool nights and hot jazz, this vintage inspired dress skims the body, playfully, starting from a jewel neckline, in a floral print, just right for Spring!  The bodice is artfully accented with touches of lace, and two lines of buttons.  The skirt, a slender column of solid color that ends with bold stripes!  Ever An' Angel invites you to bring out your inner aristocrat, and step into your own drama, created by this remarkable dress!  

Here I am perched on the piano, singing "All that Jazz" in my most sultry voice!  I couldn't help it!  This dress brings out the playful side of me!  Where could it take you?  It's great for the office, for a more casual night out, dinner with...well...I'll let you figure that out!

I, of course, used the Expressions make-up by TONE, available exclusively at Ever An' Angel!  Here I am wearing the lip stain in Sangria, and the eyes are Smolder Eyes in Sunset.  I seriously want to go out and dance and do something just slightly scandalous!  

Little details: The hair is Babylon, by Lamb, and the shoes are, Mutresse, Volena pumps (great color hud on these shoes), Skin is Glam Affair, Europa, Eyes are Ikon Horizon eyes, purple, and the body is Maitreya!

The gown is exquisitely detailed, with godet inserts of rich printed silk, a squared neckline, detailed in the most meticulous of ruffles. For the photo I am wearing this rich, silk gown in coral.  Marie Antoinette would be right at home in this dress.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like....

The holidays!  From Ever An' Angel!   

What are some of your favorite holiday looks from Ever An' Angel, was the question I posed and generously, people responded. (okay, so I had to track a couple of them down, but they came to the photo shoot willingly!)  I think it is a real showcase for the elegance, class and creativity you will find in all the looks from Ever An' Angel!  

Our dear friend, Laura, from Zuri Jewelry steps out in the Muse gown, in Berry.  She holds off the surprising glitter of snow, with an impromptu parasol.  Gorgeous and elegant, Laura will dance the night away in this amazing gown, from Ever An' Angel.  

Zayden walks out of a dream dressed in the tuxedo by Ever For Men!  He looks as if he could tackle just about anything from a tango to international espionage.  This great tuxedo comes with a color change hud that allows you to change lapels and cummerbund easily, to strike just the right color note for any occasion.  Zayden, always a classic, stayed with shades of grey.  

A vision, that's Quix in Zrayasa; festive in the color, Ruby.  I see her gliding into the Embassy ball, turning heads as she is announced.  Cool, elegant, sophisticated.  She pairs the gown with blends of Bold and Soft Expressions make-up from Tone, and adds the incredible Vibrant liner, also from the Expressions collection.  She is the picture of a woman of confidence!  

Laura also loves the Marquise gown, here in the color "Ocean" (one of my personal favorites)  She wears Bold Expressions makeup and the Mixers for dark skin 01B.  She pairs it with bold jewelry from Zuri Rayna for an incredible look that reflects all the fun and sparkle of the season.

Jenna is ready to party in this short, flirty dress, called LB?D in ornament.  This color was a gift, from Ever An' Angel at one of the fashion shows and you'll find many MORE gifts under the tree at the main store!  Jenna finished the look with a pair of strappy red heels, and great make-up from the TONE make-up collection.  Available exclusively at Ever An' Angel!

And our own, Mini (also called Yuko) shows another version of the Zreyasa gown.  This one is in the color Royal.  Notice the flow of the scarf, as it trails behind her, the fit of the gown beneath, accenting her lovely shape.  This gown will see you through all the holidays, in style. Stop in to Ever An' Angel, and see what's new!  You'll be glad you did!  

And this is where it began, and Summer pays a sweet tribute to Ever An' Angel in the card she sent. 

"This is one of my favorite Gowns  Ever did :)

even though it isn't mesh it's still a beautiful gown :)

I was her customer and had to buy 1 gown once or twice a month and the detail caught my eye :) She has come along way 

from system to mesh :)

Merry Christmas from Summer !!!"

We've been on a journey, together, through fashion, through changes in technology, to people that come and go in our lives. How wonderful that we can wear the story of how things change and express in our own way how much they've stayed the same.  Ever An' Angel, always classy, always elegant, always in style.
