With this lovely new dress from MiaMai’s new collection, I am ready to party, but my social calendar is empty!!! Wah! When I have a dress this perfect for dancing and flirting and what have you, there’s got to be a place to wear it. Someplace with lights that will move around and cast flashes on the lovely sequin top.
Squinternet Larnia has made the perfect spring dress. Called Melba Sunrise, it’s a lovely cupcake of a dress made with iridescent taffeta and frosted with iridescent silk chiffon and silver paillettes scattered like nonpareils. With subtle glimpses of blue, yellow and green that shift as you move, it is a soft and gentle spring sunrise.
Well, Gidge beat me in the Big Hair Olympics – but I think this is a contender. It’s a style I love from Detour and is called Torrid – a good name because it does seem to just scream torrid, doesn’t it? I like it because it’s full enough and curly enough that it obscures some intersections that inevitably happen and it’s just plain sexy. With it I am wearing a great little top/dress I picked up at the Clothing Fair from Morea Style.

As we continue to drink from the well of spring releases at Baiastice, I gotta admit this is in my top two faves of her new line. It’s so fantastically floral and retro inspired without any of the kitsch that can come with it.
Ok Ok Ok, I like kitsch – but someone who can pull the look off without it – you haz my admiration. Plus you know, it’s pink and purple which in my world = WIN.
The cutaways at the waistline had me confused at first seeing them on the vendor – I thought she’d modeled them on a freakishly skinny avatar. D’oh! But no, they are designed to make sure that you are glad your avatar does her crunches.
Big hair is always in style somewhere. TAKE THAT HATERS!

Where I come from, when someone has a death in the family, their friends, neighbors and family come with cakes and casseroles to stock the pantries and fridge so that the mourning don’t have to even consider food -it’s just there ready and waiting.
If you follow me on Plurk you know that over the past month I’ve dealt with the ongoing drama of a 18 year old 4 legged feline member of my family who I loved more than I realized. But as things progressed Silo and I did everything we could do to keep her with us – and in the end, Tuesday to be exact – her 18 years caught up with her and now we’re left to mourn that little ball of fur.
5th and Oxford dropped me the Jori skirts and shirts that same day I plurked about my loss an grief, with the kindest note – saying she knew that some digital threads wouldn’t make up for my loss but that she was thinking of me.
I think it’s a great testament to the community we have amongst one another – we Fashion Mafia members. (yeah you’re a member, don’t act innocent. I see you). Continue reading
Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice is always producing wonderful new clothes that are exciting, innovative and fun. Every week or so, it seems there is something new for her customers and fashion addicts to swoon over. So how, then, does she find the time to also produce whole collections to release en masse? I don’t know, but she did it again and if you don’t find something to swoon over, you’re missing the swoon factor.
Anyone who follows my plurks for any length of time knows I am a shoe hound. I love shoes and frequently post pics of shoes that melt my butter. Cat from the A-Bomb team recently was inspired by a pic I plurked from Valentino’s 2010 Spring collection to create a wonderful in-world homage and was kind enough to name them the Cajsa boots. Yes, I am doing the happy dance! Baby’s Got a New Pair of Shoes! and they’re named after me!
Yes, It’s Me under that black hair from !SyDS! that is named It’s Me! Like other !SyDS! hair it is simultaneously marvelous, wonderful, exciting, gorgeous and irritating. I want it in RED!!! I also would love a color script to change the color of the jewels instead of having only pink ones. Please, the quality and innovation is too good to leave us so short on options. This is one of the fabulous hairstyles !SyDS! made for Accessory Fair 2010 – so get thee hence because even if it’s not red, it’s still red hot! Speaking of red hot….
I love the color gold. However, let’s be honest. Gold is not one color. It’s a spectrum in itself. From the bright and brassy yellow mustard gold to the soft and mellow olives of old gold, there’s a rainbow of shades in those four letters, G-O-L-D. This dress from Baiastice is from the more mellow, old gold range – lustrous, shiny and rich – but soft, subtle and quiet as well. It’s my favorite shade of gold.
