Anyone who knows modeling and runway, typically knows and loves Finesmith Designs.

Models often wear Finesmith Jewelry because this is no sissy jewelry, it doesn’t hide beneath the clothes that are modeled, it makes a unique display all its own, giving the clothes an added addition of chic styling.

How often have you worn a really beautyful outfit, put on jewelry and the jewelry just has no impact and does not improve the style of the clothes you are wearing at all. With Finesmith, you can rest assured this won’t happen.

TREND#Magazine#50##

Ms. Yula Finemith is an inpirational, funny and very creative person and such a dear friend to so many. I once read an article about Ms. Yula and she mentioned how she draws her inspirations from real life sculpture.

Caoimhe Lionheart wearing Finesmith ­ Aphrodite Inspiration

It is easily seen in the attention she gives to her jewelry. Nothing is flat and un­ inspirational, all of her jewelry invokes passion.

I feel her works are created to add life and symmetry to your avatar, making the viewers eyes pan over your entire body not just your face and it is truly akin to wearing a work of art.

Showing you some of the artwork Yula has been busy creating here, we think you will agree, there is just something here for everyone.

These pieces include the more haute style pieces to the mainstream gorgeous sets she is so well known for.

But in all cases, the attention to detailing, the casual yet elegant creativity, and the bold fashion statement are all entwined in every piece of jewelry Finesmith creates.

THE SHOPPING TALES OF A CAO AND A LITTLE DRAGON

WRITTEN BY DRAAKJE DAILEY AND CAOIMHE LIONHEART PHOTOGRAPHY: ASIA RAE, CAOIMHE LIONHEART & THATI BOUCHER

Hi, you can call me Keevah, or as most do Lil Cao, moo. When I first became serious about modeling in Second Life and started actually finding designs to style, I kept running into another model named Draakje Dailey. When I first met her I vainly thought she must be stalking me. But after time, I realized, my “little dragon”, as her name affectionately means, has been literally everywhere$ I’ve heard a rumor that she has actually even made it to the end of the Internet$ Can you imagine? It took her four TP’s and one crash to make it back$ So I am sure you can imagine the usefulness of a friend with enough knowledge I nickname her my mall directory. So together we will be bringing this column about the current fashion trends, fashion finds and just things we think are pretty darn cool$

ru has mad of

%I’ve heard a umor that she s actually even de it to the end f the Internet$%

Hi, my name is Draakje, but most just call me Draa or D. I'll be the first to tell you I have a severe shopping addiction and I love to always share my finds with those around me (finds as in landmarks or store names, nooo touchy the shoes or wee dragon will breath fire). Running into Cao time after time after time didnt make me think I had a stalker, it made me think I had found a kindred soul, someone as passionate about fashion as I was. And I was right$ Together we have searched, hunt down and found some of the best items the grid can provide and we would to share with you all (again, the landmarks and store names, nooo touchy the shoes, or the bags, or the hairs for that matter).

The day turned out much the same as always for me. I woke a little sleepy, but after a double latte and an hour fingering through my closet, I figured out what I wanted to wear for my splurging day of shopping. Going for comfort on this chilly day, I chose .Shi’s “Atti” sweater with its really cool leather harness, I layered beneath for added warmth with brown tartan tights from

Maitreya, and created a splash of color with the addition of the “Running Free” skirt from Emery in a luscious pink (belt included).

To complete the chic style, I am wearing Osmose’s “Jeux d’enfants” hairs, a groovy pair of *+Crie Style+* “Kabuki” sunglasses, and Maitreya Mesh leather boots in a scrumptious brown.

Typical of little dragon’s, Draakje never gets tired that I’ve ever seen.

Of course, I think anyone who can shop 15 hours a day is an avatar worthy of superhero status. Always the glamor girl, Draakje has chosen to wear the Bliss Basic Chim pants with leg warmers and the classy Bliss Couture Bayonne fur coat in a

lovely gray. Her hair is from the Vaya Con Dios “Express Yourself Collection,” her glasses Leverocci and her dangly hooped silver earrings are “Rinne” from the new collection at Mandala. To complete this uptown elegance, Draakje carries her Lindens in the new Gizza Mesh clutch bag in Black.

TREND#Magazine#68##

After a few hours and purchases later, I do what any girl dying to wear her new outfits does, I change into them in the dressing room$ Going for a little more sophisticated look I changed into H.Luzza’s “Skidrow” dress in a warm rich shade of brown and topped it with the jacket from *Diram*’s “Marry the Night.” I am all business with my Tres Beau pinstripe leggings and Maitreya Devi boots in brown. The completing details for this shop ‘til you drop outfit is hair styled by Vanity Hair, in the “Irina” fashion, *+Crie Style+* “Scioilto” sunglasses, Mandala’s Kabuki necklace and an adorable purse, Baiastice’s “All Days” bag.

Draakje changed halfway through the day too, it appears. What can we say? Shopping day is like waking up to Christmas day, only you like all the gifts you buy for yourself$ In her second wind she is wearing a gorgeous mesh pantsuit called “Kelley” in velvety night shade. This is an item from a new design house called coldLogic. Her sleek hair style is Lelutka’s QCX hair in the BlondeFun shade. To complete this stylish offering, She has on Paper Couture’s Etched Bell earrings, and a pair of kicky little boots, Maitreya’s “Radical” boots in

Red Reptile. This look is perfection if you are looking for something that will transition from day to night with ease, at night simply throw on a high­ waisted jacket and you go from classy to evening elegance in the blink of an eye$ TREND#Magazine#70##

Well, hours of exhaustion and shopaholic high later, Draakje and I did meet up with each other. Draakje is now wearing Gizza’s Slim jersey top in black, a pencil thin mesh skirt in cotton gray, with the new super glam Gizza mesh sweater. Her gloves, mery, also mesh, are from Celoe, her stockings “Caprice” are Angel Dessous, and her boots are the Maitreya Devi boots. To give this fab look its finishing touches, her hair is Baiastice “Marie” hair attachment and some groovy glasses from Kalnins “Rudens”.

I am dressed for a fun evening in Hot Pink Glitter pants from Leezu$ and the fringe leather vest in black and pink, to die for, is from Glam Affair. My “Ikna” crocodile purse is from Baiastice and my jewelry from Mandala.

This hair is styled by Miamai, the gorgeous hot pink “Precarious Platform” shoes were purchased at Ladies Who Lunch. And, as the final touch, what Cao would be complete without the addition of “Jeweler Horn” from a boutique jewelry store called [E.C]? Exhausted, the day done, I am going home to rest up for next week$
