I define fashion as dressing well and having a clear understanding of what is comfortable, stylish, elegant, tasteful and appropriate for the right occasion.
The dress code may vary accord-
ing to the particular events, what is important is that one is elegantly and stylishly put together without crossing the boundaries of good taste, for a formal look, I advised that men and women to be properly suited, but if the event were less formal, a trendy and stylish mix could be appealing. Fashion should be Fun, Versatile and good enough to make you confident, and what inspires you for me Truly, fashion is a force to be reckoned with. It influences a lot of things in our lives and in our surroundings. Fashion is in the way we dress, the way we live, and the way we see things. Our perception of what is fashionable affects the decisions that we make. Fashion is not only about pretty clothes and dressing up. Fashion is in artworks, sculptures, buildings, food, and many more. Fashion is a form of self-expression, a way of living, and a form of art. when i am blogging an outfit it needs to say something to me an and inspire me in a way i can then add to that and build from it which is why i like outfits that are a little more interesting to the eye,
I have been very luck in respect
to my blog and have worked with some amazing designers and have made some good friends along the way, as for the future for my blog i would like to get to grips with vlogging, as this seams to be the way forward, I would like to thank everyone at virtual diva forthis honour of being blogger of the month it means a great deal to me.

What to Wear on a Valentine’s Day Date
By Romantomas
Just let me help you with your Valentine’s Day agenda. Have you gotten her something she’s going to love? Made a dinner/ concert or simplace reservation? Or at least picked a place for drinks via Skipe, cause she is in the other side of the world? Set a reminder to buy flowers? And the most important… thought about what to wear?
If the answer to that last question is “no,” don’t worry – Me and VD got your back.
Here are a few outfit ideas that will have you covered whether you’re planning something low-key and casual or elegant and highly romantic.
1st outfit: Have a date with a long-time flame? Try going high/low. Tone down a dressed up look – classic red trousers, button-down– with a casual and versatile menswear staple , classical shoes and why no your elfo ears. Don´t forget the flowers!

Where SL takes us: Fantasy Romance through The Looking Glass February is the month when some of us celebrate Valentine’s Day by the giving of candies, flowers, and for those who are in a romantic relationship ended with a very special dating. Having your Valentine’s Day virtually in Second Life has always been such a beautiful experience. The following preview hopefully can bring inspiration for you to celebrate the day with your loved one. Second Life this February takes you to The Looking Glass. The Looking Glass is one of the romantic place to visit, this sim is surrounded by magical rich visuals that will linger in deep memories for everyone spending their time here. The fantasy realms concept of the place is absolutely enchanting. Once you land into the sim and do a quick glance all around, the view of a great bridge will catch your eyes. There are also some floating islands offering you peaceful atmosphere. The old stone path will guide you to walk around the sim to each of its fantastic spots; old town, water, small woods, and old tower that will remind you to background from some sci-fi movies or online games. After spending your times walking, talking and even taking memorable pictures around the sim, you can close the moment by visiting the ballroom at the ground level for one or two dances. There is also a spot there where you can let your partner play piano or harp and singing on the stage like a diva. Happy Valentine’s Day.
