Lingerie with Seven Laces

I came to the hobby of lace-making through default. It was one of the few handcrafts my irritatingly over-skilled sister had not already tackled and conquered and wrote the book to tell the tale. I will never write any books about my own handiwork, but they are coveted as presents – especially as I can only complete a few projects a year. Still, it has created a deep love of lace and the craft of lace-making. 

That is why this lovely lingerie from Carnal caught my eye immediately. The crisp contrast between the black and the white, the many layers of lace, the almost tuxedo like neatness of the lines combine to make it an attention-grabbing set of lingerie. However, since so much lingerie is difficult to wear under clothing, I can resist a lot of great lingerie. What made this irresistible was the combination of laces, almost a Whitman’s Sampler of lace. Continue reading

Tropicana

By Cajsa Lilliehook. 

Thursday night I was DJ’ing for a party at our Photo Studio and wanted a hot little outfit for dancing.  I had recently purchased a cute little sundress from SeVan and really wanted to wear that gorgeous yellow print, but wasn’t in the mood for a dress, so I decided to wear the top. I added the oh-so-versatile Shiny Shiny Magic Pants that I can tint to any color and tinted them the blue in the top’s print. They didn’t meet up perfectly so I tossed on one of the sashes from the Fat Pack from Persona. But it looked unfinished to me. Then I remembered this gorgeous shrug jacket from Digit Darkes in bright yellow. No, I didn’t put on the jacket, I just put on the sleeves, making them look like they were part of the SeVan top. Mixing and matching is so much easier in Second Life. Can you imagine doing that in real life? More photos on my flickr

Audrey Dress by DP

I love retro prints. They are bright, cheerful and full of whimsy. The Audrey Dress is as whimsical as they come and just wearing it lifts my mood. Not only that, I was going shopping. I just wish clothes shopping worked the way grocery shopping does. You know what I mean, if I eat a snack before shopping for groceries, I can walk right past all the temptations and leave the store spending no more than I planned. But….no matter how well I dress, no matter how chic I feel, those clothing store temptations can reel me in. Nonetheless, I dress up for shopping….just in case it might work one day and save my wallet a few lindens.

Victorian Steampunk Dress

This just appeals to me. I love the antique brown and the lovely lace details. Maht might say it’s because if it’s brown, I am bound to love it, but that’s not true. The bodice is lovely and the lace on the sleeves is perfect and isn’t this a soft, gentle shade of brown – very feminine, I think.  More photos on Flickr

pants

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

Meh! I loved the pants more in the store than when I got them home. But, you know what, I will love them again the next time I wear them because now everything fits. CeCubic has wonderful, innovative clothing – prim clothing like no other. I applaud their creativity and genius and I have a lot of their work.

I have one overriding complaint that puts me off, though. Every outfit I have purchased has required too much time fitting  – often 30 to 40 minutes. The prim pieces are sold in such small sizes as to be unworkable. I am not outsized at all. In fact, in many situations, I am the shortest in the room as I don’t strive for model height…so the one thing I don’t expect is to put on a belt that is less than half the size of my waist. Thankfully, it’s a modifiable so eventually everything fits and then I can enjoy the design and the flair these clothes bring. But….I should not have to work that hard.
