On early autumn I spent some great time working with Gracie Kangjon-Bayn and Stephen Venkman of Royal Living Magazine. I was invited to give an interview for the magazine about being a designer, finding inspiration, managing my store and many more.

If you'd like to read a story about me and [MAGIC NOOK], you will find the interview in September issue of Royal Living Magazine. You can also read it below:

I'm kind of late with this announcement, but it's better late than never, right? :) [MAGIC NOOK] is a proud participant of FAIR event, and if you still haven't heard, FAIR is a monthly event from CHIC Management which focuses on a theme of time. Each participating designer is inspired by one of the 24 hours in a day.

I got 11PM, which inspired me to create Parisian Romance Clutch Bag. It is a small charming mesh hand bag – a perfect accessory for a date night and a great finishing touch for any evening outfit. It features a big leather bow and a cute zipper across the top. Held in your hand, it will add a pop of colour to your look.

The bag is available in 5 colour packs. Each pack consists of 5 clutch bags scripted with bow texture change (25 colours) and zipper texture change (2 colours).











For more information on the event, please visit FAIR website. For the time of event, the bags are ONLY available at event location, so be sure to visit!

I've been away from SL for a while because there's a lot of cool stuff happening in RL :) However I did manage to release new items in the meanwhile.

Love Bracelet is delicate feminine puffed heart bracelet with a little gem attached to add a lovely hint of colour. It's available in silver and gold, and scripted to change gem options: colour, glow intensity and shine intensity through easy menu.

Wear the bracelet alone or layer it with other favourite bracelets. You can also wear more than one Love Bracelet at once and just change gem colour on each to create more funky look.







The other new item is funky and unique letter ring made of a wooden tile attached to a gold ring base. You can change the letter on the ring or choose one of 18 special characters through easy menu.

Feel free to stack more rings together to display short words like ‘fun’, ‘love’, ‘win’, ‘sexy’, ‘cute’, ‘you’, ‘hey’ etc. It's a great gift for Scrabble fans or a lovely treat for yourself.



You can get all these items at [MAGIC NOOK] Main Store.

By the way, be sure to check The Dressing Room every two weeks. You can get [MAGIC NOOK] items there cheaper than usually. Currently Drizzle Earrings in gold are available for 70L$ only!

Vintage Fair 2012 opens its doors to the public today at 4PM SLT! I worked hard last few weeks to bring you these new items created specially for the event.

Golden Life Sunglasses are my first MESH item for sale! They're glamourous, oversized, attention grabbing and chic - so... always in style :) They will give you an air of mystery and that fabulous movie-star look.











Each pack consists of sunglasses scripted with:

• frames texture change (5 colours)
• lenses texture change (11 colours)
• lenses opacity change (11 opacity levels)
• lenses glow change (11 glow levels)

 
Additionaly each pack includes two prop sunglasses (they have arms in different positions than the main sunglasses). The props can be used as fun attachments, eg. worn in hands, attached on clothes etc. You can also rez them as decoration items in your virtual home. They are scripted the same way as the main sunglasses.





My second new release for Vintage fair is Victorian lady Cameo Necklace and matching Cameo Ring. The necklace has an accent of ribbons, dangles and beads, but modern (plain) version is also included.





For more information on the event, please visit Vintage Fair 2012 website. You will find there maps and SLURLs to all booths as well as information about Vintage Fair Flickr Competition!

[MAGIC NOOK] booth is located at CHIC sim - I hope to see you there!

I'm liking boho style these days and I think it shows in my new items :) The new release is Navajo Arrow necklace in silver and gold - a delicate native necklace with a dainty arrow charm, and - as this week [MAGIC NOOK] is TDR's shop of the collection - I've got for you boho ear cuffs featuring  a cascade of beautiful brown wild feathers.







For the next week gold Navajo Arrow necklace is available cheaper at TDR, and the ear cuffs are available cheaper at my mainstore (just be sure to buy from TDR's shop of the collection board right in front of the entrance).

New earrings in store! Babydoll earrings are classic hoop earrings, in three sizes, available in silver and gold. All three sizes are included with your purchase - you don't have to buy each size separately. Light and delicate, they are great for everyday wear, especially in summer!





As usual you can get the silver earrings cheaper for next two weeks at The Dressing Room!
