Sister Moon, Will Be My Guide

In Your Blue Blue Shadows, I would Hide

All Good People are asleep Tonight

I’m all by myself in your silver light

I would gaze at your face, the whole night through.

I’d go out of my mind but for you.

All my love to everyone I’ve loved who wore the bandana, and all those who wear it now. Our hearts are with you, now, as always.

Tree?

Naming clothing must get difficult for designers. There’s so many options – naming them after friends, places, animals, objects and inventing names or just being really, really kind and naming them descriptively. For example, this dress could be called glittery green dress with a feather skirt. It could be called Candy Wrapper. However, it is called Tree. Okay, let’s give credit to the designer who actually did name it descriptively Sequined Halterneck Dress Tree Mix. Mix because there are three outfits in the box all the with main color being green and all using the same green skirt, though there is also a black skirt option without the bright green tips. It makes me smile, because even though trees are green, nothing about this makes me think of trees. Neon, show girls, burlesque, bars, dance halls, gambling, dancing, les Folies Bergere, the Moulin Roughe, the Golden Nugget. Yes, it makes me think of lots of things, but not trees. Still, isn’t it adorable? and when you realize that the set includes two other similar outfits with just a slightly different color emphasis – it’s such a deal.

Boho Love

I love the Boho look – in particular, I love the dichotomy of so much embellishment and decorative effort put into casual wear. I love how Boho looks back to the past, but uses it in contemporary ways.  This begins with the fabulous embroidered satin blouse from Muism. The texturing and primwork are exquisite and it comes in several colors. I love the antique gold color in this one..and I knew the perfect shoes and pants to go with it.

Mondrian

Ever since Yves St. Laurent ripped Mondrian’s paint off the canvass and shaped his art onto a woman’s body, colorblock dresses have been a perenniel staple of fashionistas around the world. In this iteration, Dani’s Fashions adds a perfectly matched yellow jacket with lines that align perfectly with the dress. It’s really quite stunning and was a joy to accessorize.

My New Winter Coat

I tolk you last week how I discovered Modern Gypsy when I met Staci Bernard looking impeccably styled and gorgeous in a wonferful coat. But then I didn’t show you the coat. I am rectifying that today. This is the wonderful coat I saw and, if you will indulge the conceit and ignore attachment point limits, the dress underneath it.

Antarctic Dreams

Who is going to a traditional Black & White ball for New Year’s Eve?  It seems like nearly all the women dress in white – a nod to the season’s frosty weather. Many of the dresses have snowflakes and crystals to accentuate the seasonal motif. This year, though, you can have the snowflakes and stand out from the crowd in this black snowflake dress from Sascha’s Designs called Antarctica.

Falling in love with Modern Gypsy

A friend asked me to TP to Stiletto Moody to see if I could. While standing near the TP point, explaining that it was open only to group members because of the 40% off sale I spotted an elegantly styled and lovely woman. Her name is Staci Bernard and after I admired her lovely outfit, she was kind enough to give me the landmark and introduce me to Modern Gypsy where I found the gorgeous jacket she wore as well as this coat and oh-so much more.
