Cajsa Unplugged

I love music of nearly every genre and in particular, I love the sound of the guitar. From the prestidigitation of Flamenco guitarists like Montoya or the precision of classical guitarists like Parkening, from the wild ride of Link Wray to the artistry of Hendrix, I love the sound of a guitar. And so, when my friend Abraxxa Anatine of EarthStones produced these amazing earrings, they were beyond irresistible. And seriously, you have to see them to believe them. The pegheads, the fretboard, the individual pieces of the guitar – are individual precisely, delicately flawlessly crafted nanoprims. The detail is amazing and there’s a closer pic after the cut – though even that won’t do it justice.

I DJ’ed at Vicious on Friday night – a set that was not even one bit acoustic – a mix of reggaeton, electronica, hip hop and funk. I wanted a great clubbing dress and this 70ties dress from Redgrave fit the bill for a great night of dancing.

Insta-Classic

I know I wore this jacket just the other day – with the Chanel Cross outfit, but I could not resist. I think it’s an insta-classic. You know, one of those pieces that will be pulled out again and again and again because it’s just so versatile and looks so good. You can see that it project a completely different style paired with the ruffled white blouse released the same day. This is a traditional and classic look and it’s done beautifully by Sugar Cube and available exclusively at Black Market sim.

It's Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature

But who would want to when Mother Nature is as luscious as this gown from Staged for the BlackSwan Swansong – the month long requiem for the Rezzable sim. With a brilliant fuschia bikini and pants and floral bodice covered with sheer wisps of organza and trailing fallen leaves – the falling leaves and elegiac reminder of the fallen sim.

Casual Friday: FROP FROP FROP!

posted by Gidge Uriza

One of the stores that handed out a gift at the VIP Keys hunt (hell I forget the actual name of it) was FROP. I’m still unpacking – as you can tell, because it’s the only hunt I ever completed I’m rather savoring it. Continue reading

Mi Mi Mi – A Dress About Miiiiii (ok not but sort of)

posted by Gidge Uriza

While I didn’t get this in time for me “All About Me” post it definitely has the right stuff – a screen print image of the ultimate Brigitte – BARDOT!

This fun summer dress from WIG WAM BAM! is one of several cute dresses with silly screen prints but all also come with a plain skirt option. Continue reading

I ♥ Tintable

I thought about calling this “Peach Me, I’m Dreaming” but realized that would be a new low in word play and demurred. Instead, I thought I might focus on how wonderful it is to have tintable clothing items that enable mixing and matching with a broader number of choices.  Now, when I saw the Morcade dress at French Touch last week, I fell in love. It’s just beautifully made and for 1L, it’s the steal of the grid.  Gidge blogged it at FreeStyle along with a host of 1L dresses from there. Soon after we were at the fishing hole on Zion and there was a gorgeous woman wearing that dress which lead to a three way conversation about way to wear the top without the skirt. She put on a grey wool pair of pants and looked luscious.

I went back to the photo studio and tried a bunch of skirts and they all looked good, but the look that melted my butter was this one – with the ALB Dream Fashion Dior dress. I just tinted it a bit to get it peachy instead of creamy and yum!!!

That’s been me lately, I’ve been a little under the weather but no worries I’ll recover. I thought, since I was feeling kinda blah that the only cure was to simply be gorgeous. Continue reading

You Put the Lime in the Coconut.

While I was at Coco the other day picking up those red-red-red pants, I also saw these luscious lime pants – same style, different color. I had to have them because lime is such a fun color and so cheery and happy. When I went to the Velvet on Sunday for Maht’s usual Sunday set, I popped on this outfit that included a gorgeous floral cardigan from Coco as well.
