The Way I Feel About You -It Just Can't Be Wrong!

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’m so fortunate that my best friend has exquisite taste and style. What that means is that I never get drug along on shopping trips where I go “Ummm, DO NOT WANT/KTHANXBY.”   Instead of going “Oooooh, Oh DO WANT! DO WANT!”

Both Modern Gypsy and Exile are places like that for me. I wouldn’t have wandered in without Cajsa and now I’m addicted to their goodness.  This short casual dress is called Desertmoon but at first I thought it said “dessert moon” and it put me in mind of  dessert cafes of my 20s.

It was a dark and stormy night

As the April 15th deadline nears for this year’s Bulwer-Lytton contest, I thought I might encourage you to check out the web site. It’s an annual award for bad writing and by bad writing, I mean really bad writing.  I was reading the 2008 results and laughing and thought you all might enjoy a good laugh, too, so I decided to shoot this great jacket and pants from Ibizarre in a “dark and stormy night” setting.  Ibizarre had a 10L sale on everything on the second floor and not one to resist a great sale, I found myself on a mad, but inexpensive, shopping spree. The black and white print jacket is beautifully made and the striking Fitzgerald belt from Lelutka really sets it off.

A Dress To Fool A Prince

I’ve got some strict rules in my life. One of which is that when watching musicals, you are required to sing along, with gusto, any song you know.   My Fair Lady is probably one of the harder pull off as the ridiculous soprano is impossible to sing but – you get the point.

You must sing. LOUD. With Feeling.

I could’ve DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCED ALL NIGHT…….like that. Continue reading →

See that picture above? Now really look at it. Really look at it. Do you see what is wrong? No? How about now?

Nice Uber Modern Gloves?

Nice Uber Modern Gloves?

Sooo, what’s up with these gloves? They’re a little, whacky.

My initial thought was “hmmm weird gloves” but I really like Sascha the designer and thought well, she’s doing something wonky with gloves. Whatever I’ll go with it.

Then, after seeing my original post she was horrified, and let me know this dress does NOT have gloves. Seems I’d been hit by an SL bug, but Sascha had the fix. Continue reading →

Boom!let

I received a promotional copy of this adorable micro-mini from BOOM! this weekend and I loved the little buttons and the adorable belt so much that I had to blog it even though there’s no way I would wear a skirt that short in this life or real life. From the front, you don’t get to appreciate how dangerously short it is – but hey, that’s what tights are for!!

If only it were warmer

Kunglers has created the perfect hot weather dress, one that has fabulous vents along your back to keep you cool and breezy.  Yes, that inset in the back is open  an open mesh providing not only the visual interest of different sized dots, but some nice cool breezes on your spine on hot sultry days. It’s been awwhile since I showed you something from Kunglers – perhaps, as I discovered this weekend, because I misfiled everything they sent me last time in my folder of Velentine hunt items that I have nott opened yet.  Anyway, the sisters dropped the lovely Adelle blouse and skirt combo on me this weekend and like so many Kunglers outfits, it is replete with extras such as the bangle and pearl necklace I  am wearing.

A Velvet Sunday

Our friend Maht was dj-ing at the Velvet a couple of weeks ago and I actually was able to get in world during the day, so I thought I’d pop over and visit my friends and listen to his set.

This was exactly the excuse I needed to pull out these plaid pants from Little Rebel. The set comes with three pair of pants and this tintable tank and was exactly the sort of comfy/indie look I wanted at the Velvet that afternoon. Continue reading →

Blackberries: One of Ana's Advertisers

6 Replies

I don’t want to get all dramalicious on you, but I really despise rude cowards who make anonymous personal attacks such as the one posted (and removed) on SL Secrets today. Instead of ranting, though, I thought I might show my support for Analu and her blog and her decision to accept advertising to help offsest the cost by following a SLURL to one of her advertisers and buying something. And look at the gorgeous, frothy and feminine gown I ended up with. So much better than a rant!!!

So…I was think that if you appreciate Analu’s blog and value the fashion news and updates as well as the frequent tips and tricks she shares about windlight, prim editing and the like, you might want to give her advertising a click, too, and even drop the advertisers a line and say you saw them on her blog. If you’re a blogger, perhaps you might want to blog something you find at one of their stores.

This Side of the Blue

Leave a reply

StoRin's beautiful blue Twiggy sheath dress is deceptively simple at first glance - but the rich brocade fabric gives it depth and interest far beyond first impressions - a sign of real genius. For those of you unfamiliar with StoRin, the store used to be called Annah Couture.

Svetlana sucks lemons across from me,
and I am progressing abominably.
And I do not know my own way to the sea
but the saltiest sea knows its own way to me.

The city that turns, turns protracted and slow
and I find myself toeing th’embarcadero
and I find myself knowing the things that I knew
which is all that you can know on this side of the blue
