Shape, Shape, Shape Your Bootie

I don’ t know if any of you have been watching Bravo’s Launch My Line, but I have. It’s been enjoyable, but Dan and Dean are no Tim Gunn and they don’t offer advice at all, just eye rolls and jaw drops. They fall between the genuine mentorship of Gunn and the rude bitchiness of Mizrahi in that miserable Fashion Show, but really, what’s wrong with being helpful and supportive? Now that I began with an off-topic tangent, let get back to the point. Recently Vanessa was dropped when she added some pockets to accentuate the hips. It was probably her most commercial dress of the competitioion, so the lesson she learned was if you listen to the judges and take their advice you get axed.  The judges said no woman ever wants to accentuate her hips. Well, that’s just wrong!!! And to prove it, look at how luscious this dress looks. You just have to do it right. Micah Kanto knows how to do it right.

Fashion that gets your heart racing

I admit it, I love the Winter Collection from Micah Kanto. I have already posted several dresses from the collection and thought I had seen it all, and then this Sunday I go to see the runway show and was blown away by a second collection that was only released yesterday.  This Fashion Monster collection continues the red, white and black color theme – but all in houndstooth fabrics formed into wild and extravagant shapes. This is an avant garde collection of winter wear and while it won’t be to everyone’s taste – it just suits mine to a T.  You can see all the hallmarks of this collection in the Onyxia suit I am wearing. Bold use of houndstooth fabric, architectural embellishments such as the sweeping shoulder sculpts and bold shapes such as the stand up collar and the peplum.

Rouge et Noir

The colors of Modern Gypsy’s new winter collection are red, black and white. They are such powerful colors – passionate and bold and perfect, of course, for the strong patterns and shapes of these designs. I confess to absolute infatuation. This dress is particularly entrancing. It’s a beautiful and elegant cocktail gown – yet the top layer of the skirt fabric makes me think of light reflecting on a roadway. The way the white seems to glitter out of focus like the lights reflected on a wet street.  So much beauty – and yet evoking such a gritty image.

Checking in at DG Innovations

It’s been ages since I have been by DG Innovations. I have a reason. Every time I go there’s too much to tempt me and I spend more than I plan. Still, by waiting this long, I was overwhelmed by all the new dresses. This dress, called Moon River, is not one of the most recent releases, but it was new to me and in the lovely blue and silver color combination that I love for winter.  It comes with a couple options for wearing it. This is the side slit, sleek sheath.

There is also this full-skirt with a net overskirt and lovely embellished panels of embroidery going down the back.

Sweet Sunday

I love how wildly you can change your entire persona by merely changing clothes and hairstyles. Take off some black leather and put on some batiste and tulle. Comb out the teasing and put in some pigtails. Change the boots for some sandals and in a few minutes you can go from biker chick to girly-girl. In real life, most of us don’t have a broad enough wardrobe to dress in a dozen personas, but in SL – there seems to be no limit. It’s one of the real pleasures of our new world.

And speaking of girly-girl. Is there any place more girly-girl than Hal*Hina? Just look at the lace on that sleeve. Yummy!

Serendipity @ Tuli

So on  Sunday, I was trying to get to The Velvet for Maht’s set and my tp’s failed and failed and failed. I got a lovely thank you IM from Antonsperandeo Allen of Behavior Body for my post featuring his animations and asked for a TP to see if I could get untrapped. Well, I was able to leave the Spa, but now I was stuck on the Baiastice sim. So, I start clicking every LM I have trying to find one that gets me away… and whoosh, I end up at Tuli right in front of this dress and was like, “Forget the music, I want that dress!!!”  And that’s how I ended up finding it.

I've Been Wearing Rainbows

Bliensen & Maitai have found a new home in the Starlust region – on Horst, to be exact. To celebrate, there are new releases including shoes, jewelry and this incredible rainbow dress. Wait until you see the bottom, though that lovely rainbow froth of lace at the bodice gives you a hint.

Denim Days

It’s Friday – and I am feeling casual and denim suits my mood, so luckily there’s this lovely little jumper from Kunglers in a soft denim. With grey denim trim at the waist, this is a nice casual day dress that goes anywhere. Suiting all weather, too, as you can easily slip a turtleneck sweater underneath.

I can’t seem to think very well this morning and do want to show you the enormous amount of fun I had deconstructing and playing with a little red dress I picked up at Crimson Shadow. I took a little bit from Naive and Digit Darkes and just had some fun…and put them together and what did I get?

Here the top from Naive's Mooney dress erases every bit of Gothiness. A belt from Artilleri united them.

Now, toss in Digit Darkes tulle skirt while keeping the short Elise skirt as an overskirt/ruffle and get some real elegance. The DD tulle skirt should be in every wardrobe as it seems to go with anything.
