Choosing something to wear while shooting a million hairstyles, I wanted a dress that would not interfere with the hair. No collars, ruffles or puffs – no prims, no sculpties. I wanted it to be relatively low cut as that tends to flatter most hair styles and really simple so it wouldn’t look odd with vastly different styles of hair. This dress pretty much fit the bill though it was a stretch for a few of the hats and fantasy hairs. It’s a lovely simple dress from Casa del Shai and really proved how flexible it is.
My last collection of Hair Fair pictures highlights the most fantastical and imaginative hair you can find. I believe all of these were promotional copies though I may be mistaken. Several of these hairs are highly scripted, allowing you to customize hair color, fabric and metal colors, the colors of jewels, shells, and thingamabobs. The Crustacean hair from Tekeli-li totally cracks me up. It reminds me of the scene in Farscape where Crichton says “Cross my heart! Smack me dead! Stick a lobster on my head.” Most striking, I believe is the scripting in the Curio Oscura Pocketwatch that lets you change the time zone. The most daunting hair is the Rococo Fantastico that actually has three pairs of dancers waltzing in a ballroom in the middle of the pompadour – and scripting can change their clothing and the decor of the ballroom – along with everything else. To see full-size pictures of these hairstyles, simply check out the set on Flickr.
Here’s the collection of hair styles that add an elemental of playful caprice to your look. These are fun hair styles that often really look great with some high fashion look. As before, you can see full size pictures in the set on Flickr. The skin is PXL Creations Kim.
This is the set of hair that has been embellished with attached crowns of flowers, ribbons, bows, barrettes and all the other “make me look like a princess” equipment. Hence the Ordance of Princessery. We make up lots of words here at It’s Only Fashion. As before, you can find the full size photos of any of the hair you want to give a closer look at its own set on Flickr. The skin in these photos are from PXL Creations – the new Kim line.
As before, you can see full size photos of any of these hairs at the Flickr set. All are from Hair Fair and most were promotional copies sent by designers, though I also bought some of them. I sorted them all into a Hair Fair folder instead of into a separate promotional folder, so I lost track of which is which. The skin for all of the photos is the newest from PXL Creations – Kim.
The Piranha pocket dress by Bliensen + Maitai is just one more eclectic offering from this very versatile creator. First off the dress is practical with fun pockets for your smokes and what not 🙂
Second off…….it’s called PIRANHA! Does anyone remember that terrible terrible movie from the 70s called PIRANHA? OMG that freaking movie damaged me as a child, I couldn’t go nightswimming for YEARS because I was nervous. Those things eat fast!
Luckily, this fun dress has no hidden dangers and is nothing but cute cute cute. It also comes in a black version and they are sold together.
The hair is from Fishy Strawberry – HUNTRESS. I’m all about the braids these days.
It’s a shorty tonight girls…….I’m sleepy sleepy sleepy……..
I should shoot some jammies! No no………go to sleep!

I have a small notebook beside me at the PC where I jot down fashion details and inventory offers and other things I need to remember. It’s higgledy-piggledy but it’s also a system that works for me. People will say clever things like “oh just type in WORN and then copy and paste that into a text document” which would work famously if I didn’t own so many pieces of clothing that for some unknown reason the creator put the words “WORN ON HEAD” or whatever on them.
I could rename them, but why bother. Back to my point. I keep this notebook. And every once in a while something catches my fancy and gets written down as a WANT. Continue reading →
And there’s likely some gold thar, too, in them thar hills. This is the composite of all the long hair styles that I have from Hair Fair (excluding ones with hats, ribbons, bows and skittles that are in another set.) Many of these are promotional copies, but they came so quickly that I lost track of which were promotional and which I purchased. Anyway, you can see the full shots on my Flickr, as before, I am using the composite to avoid flooding you with photos on the feeds. The skin in all these shots is the newest release from PXL CReations, Kim!
So Tenshi Vielle of Boutique (Note: That’s a new name.) recently dropped this outfit on me and I had to share it because I love the lovely prints in the dress and the insouciant mix of contrasting prints. Putting it all together with the hat and jewelry that came with – I could not help but think of that tremendously earthy and powerful singer Gretchen Wilson and her song Rebel Child.
My friend Cezare, on a whim, created many lovely treats for a recent soiree he and his partner Polaire hosted. Being a silly girl who LOVES SL food at parties, I was at once taken back by how beautiful the things were and unique!
I demanded he open a shop and become my caterer.
Kidding.
Ok, but I did say OMG WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A SHOP??
So now a few weeks later after much creating and getting things the way he wanted them, he brings us CAFE GOURMAND! I truly recommend, if you like to set out treats for fun and beauty, giving this new store a try. It’s just lovely, the things he has created. Continue reading →
