The Best Color in the World
“The best color in the whole world is one that looks good on you.”
Coco Chanel
I thought of that quote when I saw the wonderfully rich, saturated colors in the new leggings from MichaMi, because I think all of them would look good on me. Alas and alack, I had to choose and opted for this rich brick red, one of my favorite colors. She made the leggings to coordinate with a colorful print top that she also produced in a range of colors that show her mastery of putting color together.
Projecting like a fiend!
Miss Cajsa was kind enough to talk me through using her Status Dual Projector Box 1.0, and indeed, using projectors is fun! The basic box comes with a few very easy-to-blog-with poses, and editing the texture into the light is very easy. I’m still fiddling with my day setting (I think I used one that washed me out a bit here), but it’s nothing but fun!
More about my outfit and photos behind the cut.
Dreaming of Jewelry
I’m going to take it as a sign or something, that now twice I’ve dreamed of Cae’s jewelry. I’m not sure a sign of what. But I’ll be on the look out for what it portents. Continue reading
Where the ice flows
Once again my avatar is having a much better November than I’ve had, but I took a nice long break from reality tonight and spent time dressing for the season. I headed straight to Saiyge Lotus’s sim and was happily unsurprised to find it covered in ice. Yay! The only thing new about my outfit are the amazing boots from Schadenfreude. The great vest is no longer 50L, but it’s from So Many Styles, and I’ve layered it over a lovely vest in a similar color from ~silentsparrow~. I hope you all have a lovely beginning of Yule!

The Little Details
Yves Saint-Laurent once said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” The Ingenue pencil skirt I am wearing is a testament to that truth. Introduced by Christian Dior in the 1940s, the pencil skirt is over seventy years old. The details, though, are what make this pencil skirt serve both fashion and style. The row of small round buttons up the banded high waist are the kind of details you look for when you want something fashionable and eternal.
Speaking of details, the top I am wearing comes from a dress released by Les Petits Details for the With Love Hunt that opens tomorrow. The French Dress from LPD has a short mini-skirt and a fabric bow, but I was in the mood for something longer and sleeker.

Call Me…With Love
A gorgeous sweater dress like this Argyle Plaid dress from CIA for FAIR can garner a lot of calls and compliments. Hugging the figure, it highlights your curves with a sleek and chic shape. The bold pink in the Argyle makes it young and modern as dose the outsize pattern of the plaid. I added a fun and frisky little clutch from Just Design for the With Love hunt that starts on Friday. Covered in hearts of every shade of pink and red, it’s sure to win your heart if you can find it.
Lost In Borgen
One of the perks of Thanksgiving weekend is the TV marathon that allows you to catch up on old shows and discover new ones. During this weekend, I discovered what may be one of the best TV shows ever – at least for a political junkie like me. It’s called Borgen, or Government, and is a Danish series imagining the career of the first woman prime minister. It’s available on the LinkTV website for two weeks only, so here’s your chance. Both Season One and Season Two are available. I would love to take the fictional prime minister Birgitte Nystrom shopping, though. She only wears black and dark blue power suits with solid color blouses and sensible shoes. I would love to see her in some color and prints. She could carry off this bold, body-con dress from Kunglers, but would never even try it on.
Monday Can Be Date Night Too
I started getting dressed for a romantic evening and after slipping into some new pretty lingerie I found on marketplace I got stuck on my jewelry. I dithered for about thirty minutes about what to wear and then it hit me. Continue reading
