Casa del Shai

Its time for ultra luxe glam and the billowing chiffon dress beckons. Casa del Shai welcomes La Eleganza. A sophisticated nod to this season’s Summer Nudes but with a twist of gold. Sculpted front bodice capped up with twisted gold cord at the neck. A gold braided belt ties everything in, worn with a full flowing skirt.

This is the gown for the summer’s big event. Take it away, La Eleganza!

In White, Gray, Flesh and Cocoa. Only available at  LE. Look Sim as an exclusive offer.

A few months back, Casa del Shai was asked to participate at Avenue’s Tribute to Alexander McQueen. Here is an inspired piece sculpted by hand and heart for that show. Thank you for giving us the greatest gift, Mr. McQueen. The Gift of Inspiration. The Gift of Creative Freedom. Casa del Shai bids you farewell with a rosette inspired avant garde piece called Pula Pod Dress. Comes with the Pod, Catsuit and a nifty little Lips hat.

Once again, we would like to introduce a first offering for the Casa. We’ve joined the Fifty Linden Fridays group and each week new things will be unveiled to you. The Kimora Evening Gown is made with luxe fabric, sculpted with pure frills and pouf. The striped bodice lingers around your waist to meet at the low back. Also worn with or without the sleeves. Please check out the Fifty Linden Fridays group for other participating stores. This gown will only be on sale for $L50 today and will be back in regular pricing tomorrow. Enjoy!

A hark back into shimmering golds and blacks, the Chryselda Evening Gown echoes this season’s affair with glamour. The sculpted folds of the sleeves highlight a long flowing V along the neckline, wrapping around your delicate nape in a semi halter fashion.

Accentuating your hips with a stylish sculpted Mother of Pearl belt, a distinct column silhouette and a skirt that drapes softly around your calves. Another red carpet number from Casa del Shai only in Black and Gold.

The Eternal Nefertari gown is inspired by the Queen herself. Nefertari was the Chief Queen of Ramesses II/ Ramesses the Great. She was the symbol of everlasting life, love, beauty and depicted joyous in drawings, side by side with Isis, the great mother goddess . One of the temples at Abu Simbel was built for her as well as most magnificent tomb in the Valley of the Queens.  She was illustrated in sheer white swathes of cloth as it was for all royalties during that dynasty.

The Eternal Nefertari gown is a modernized homage to her beauty and immortality. Worn with a sheer white top over a colored band, this gown is cinched at the waist with a shiney sash that flows down the front. The back is a gorgeous criss cross of the same sash. Shoulder straps highlight the upper arms as the wrists are adorned with golden ankh bracelets.  This gown is available in 3 colours, Gold, Rust and Blue in Xstreet SL and at the Casa del Shai sim.

The model is wearing Pxl Creations EFE Green, Emerald and Purple make up for her skin and the AVEDA – Short Bob  (Noir) for hair.

Introducing the Casa del Shai Holiday Release for 2008, a collaboration between Shai and Luth Brodie of Reel Expression.

The Bowler Hat is also sold separately so our men can be all dapper this season!  The hat comes in singles or the bowler 3 color packs, or you can buy a bowler hat with hair separately.

Volpe

The Volpe Silk Blouse is a study of classic lines and silky goodness. A silky sculpty prim kittybow atop a dangerously proper blouse fit to perfection. She lurks behind horn rimmed glasses, perhaps a trademark of her librarian days. And shes still on top of her game, although older and classier among her peers. The Volpe Silk Blouse is quite a successful prowess, a little minx, seducing your skin with its supple ripples. Comes in a plethora of colours, it features a sculpted prim kittybow, sculpted sleeves and prim cuffs. In both shirt and jacket layers. Available only at Casa del Shai.

Scuttling insistently around town, a flustered Siobhan settles in her seat at the cafe. She orders an espresso, whips out her pen and notepad. “What are you doing today?” she writes. A blase blank page stares at her, sneering at her loss for words. Siobhan stares longingly at the other people at the cafe, busily jabbing away at their berries. “Oh darn, life without online social networking is such a pain.” she moans.

The Siobhan Dress, a dollop of a ladylike elegance amidst a tech-ridden, trend-laden society. This new release is inpired by fall winter’s plaid, subdued into a pencil skirt and a bustier topped with sheer chiffon lace. Comes in four tartan variants. Only at the Casa del Shai.

Paparazzi calls out your name as you step out of your limousine, gingerly extending a hand to the cowering throng of people outside the theater. Flashbulbs blind your eyes and in slow graceful motion, you slide out on your heels, instantly flashing everyone a smile. Every single photographer wants to you to strike a pose.  Every single celebrity wants to know where you’re partying after the event. Every magazine editor wants to know who designed your gown. Give them a show of glamour and ritzy elegance only you can carry off tonight. It’s your brilliant spotlight, baby. And the show is just about to start.

Casa del Shai brings you the ultimate evening gown collection to make the crowd swoon.  The Eden, Xanadu, Midas and Sitta Evening gowns are now exclusively available to the hip young starlet in you.

These gowns are now in theaters at the Casa del Shai sim. The collection is also available at the Glam Expo at Vanity Universe. Ciao Bella.
