Caer and Caroline's

posted by Gidge Uriza

The beautiful Kennedy pearls by Caroline’s Jewelry were a perfect compliment to this classic styled lingerie set from Luxuria, the latest release from the Lingerie Store of 5th & Oxford.

Once again it’s a gorgeous, luxuriously textured release in beautiful muted colors. I simply couldn’t pick a favorite so I wore them all.

The pearls are available in white, black or pink and there are also earrings but you can’t see them bcse of my hair!

I should finish getting dressed now……..

Cross the Sea

One of my favorite artists in Second Life is elros tuominen whose kinetic sculptures are fascinating expressions of hope and joy. I have several of them rezzed on a transparent platform in the sky because I love shooting pictures with them and also enjoy seeing them resting in the clouds.  The particular sculpture in this set is called Cross the Sea – a series of moving blocks of shifting shades of blue to white. It’s hypnotically beautiful and a favorite of mine.

The Creone gown recently released by Monica Outlander of MiaMai is another beautiful expression of joy.

Chic Casual Comfort

Casual comfort can be as chic as anything  – particularly when you use neutral colors that provide understated elegance to nearly every occasion or when you use luxurious textiles that just make you feel good. The neutral brown and beige can be a respite of calm for your eyes among all rainbow colors of spring fashions. The real luxury, though, comes from the use of cashmere, that fabric that makes you feel like your being hugged by nature.  Both the sweater and leggings are from Fishy Strawberry and are great investment separates. The bit of embellishment on the sweater is just a bonus that can help you choose accessories and makeup options.

Pardon Me, I'm Dressing!

This chemise with garters is a sexy addition to your lingerie collection – of which I know you always need more. I chose the steele blue color because apparently I’m stuck on blue today but it comes in a rainbow of beautiful hues for whatever your favorite color might be.

La Dolce Vita

Sophia Loren is an immortal fashion icon. Her exquisite taste and good looks have been exemplars of what great fashion can look like for decades. La Couture Chapeau has offered up a tribute to her timeless style by recreating some of her iconic hats such as this red one that demonstrates an utterly outsized extravaganza of a hat can be perfect. That proportion can be wildly disproportionate and work.

B&W, Braids & the Hottest Shoes Evah!!!

I recently found a couple of darling black and white dresses, both heavily influenced by vintage styles, both from relatively under-blogged stores and oddly enough, I wore my hair in braids with both of them, though totally by accident. What was not an accident was my choice of shoes – the hottest shoes ever, ever, evah! But first, here’s a lovely black and white pop print from Lost Dreams with the useful and descriptive name Retro Dress.

This dress also has a pop print though the shape is a good decade older. It’s name is Delana Kisses, an unhelpful name unles you think those teardrop shapes remind you of Hershey’s Kisses or something. This is from ROC.

Jealous Much?

My recent drop by the DSN was a gorgeous smexy baby-doll nighty from JEALOUSY whose main-store I have yet to find. I went to the LM I had but it said they’d moved, and then I tried to get the new LM giver to give me one but it wouldn’t soooooo, I’m assuming they’ve moved and I will find them soon.

Delicately sexy, but definitely something for alone time OR time with someone you know VERY well ( or are intending to know well in very short order), the Booty Baby-doll has sleek styling and opaque texture while being JUST a bit revealing. (You gotta look CLOSE) Continue reading

This Is Our Fate, I'm Yours

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’m addicted to that song by Jason Mraz……

Open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love

I won’t hesitate no more no more
It cannot wait, I’m Yours…

It’s an addictive little tune. I’ve been singing it the past few days not even realizing it.

And now. A HAIR CONFESSION. Continue reading

I Still Haven't Found What I Am Looking For

So a week ago or so, I saw a woman with fabulous medium length hair that she said she got at Analog Dog. I have gone looking several times now and I still haven’t found what I am looking for, but I did find this fab hairstyle that I fell in love with.  I still want to find the other, but isn’t it fun to find something you love while looking for something else?

More Ivalde Love

Okay, this is probably bad form – blogging a freebie that is no longer available, but I wanted to highlight Neferia Abel’s generosity as well as show you how simple accessories like a belt and a shrug can change your look.  This was a fairly vampish sheath, but with the shrug, the sleeveless vamp quality is dialed down and the modishness is dialed up. You see, any freebie from Neferia is just as well-made as her regular items and could just as easily be on the wall with all the other items for sale. Not only that, but she she has given an item a day during Christmas Advent season – this particular dress was an Advent present from 2007.  Her group members often get one free color of her new releases (or they did when I was still a group member) I had to drop the group a while back because of space issues, but still remember rushing to get the free color and perhaps one or two other shades when a new dress came out.
