“I would spend at least one day a week-whatever day I had off-shopping for the next show. A lot of times, I’d have seven or eight outfits in one show. There might be a gown or cocktail dress, but… I felt the clothes had to be special.” ~Donna Mills

Much of this Donna Mills quote is so true of me. I try to limit my spending in SL by shopping only one or two days a week, picking up multiple items from my favorite designers and then spending another day or two taking blog pictures of them. One of my favorite stores to go to, when I want to find something special is always Gizza. Giz Seorn always creates from her heart, and it always seems her heart is attached to so many other inworld residents hearts because she so often creates our deepest desires.

While wandering her store the other day I ran across this gown, the flawless gown, and it so truly is! The one I purchased is this most passionate shade of Magenta, the a-line shape is simple and elegant enough to befit any royalty. The skirt is gently pleated with accentuating tendrils of silk falling from the sides of the bodice giving it such a textured 3 dimensional feel. The princess line of the bodice is enhanced with sweet, matching shaded flowers. A perfect 10 all alone, the only touches I added were the “Tulips” hair from Vanity Hair and this incredible jewelry “Scatteredhearts” from Finesmith. Perhaps different shades, but with so much precision and perfection, sometimes its sweet to add a little whimsy, it truly does mark the look as one’s own, no?

Gizza and Finesmith are currently running a clever Valentines contest “All You Need is Love” where you style an outfit in reds, whites, black or pinks, bedeck it with Finesmith Jewelry and create a photograph of it. The prize is 15,000L. So head over to the store and create your Valentine’s desire today. Taxi:
