Salt Water Taffy

This dress from pop feel is a pastel knit confection that makes me think of Salt Water Taffy. I probably should have gone to Brighton Beach or Coney Island to shoot the photos but the colors made me think of the new Heart Reef Resort with many charming replicas of buildings on Mykonos. In fact, the build has photos of the original by its replica so you can see that this bright, cheery taffy confection of a city has its roots in a real Greek island.  The pop feel dress needed shoes that mirrored the red accents in the dress, so I chose Armidi’s Viviani in red.

If Funk and Punk Had a Baby

She would totally dress like this.

When Cajsa suggested Play that Funky Music as our theme for the midweek MDR party I knew right away which new dress I was going to wriggle into.  From Kuri Style, I got turned onto this dress when I first saw it on Free*Style and had been waiting for a fun social event to wear it to. And of course any excuse to pull out one of my favorite hairstyles – Edgy Wilds from Diversity Hair. I can’t even find this hair anymore at the shop so I may be the only one on the grid who liked it.  (Note – ALERI DARKES I LOVE THIS HAIR!) Continue reading

Shopping in the City

Have you been to The World yet? It’s a lovely sim, with all the appearance of and old medieval city throughout. The only anachronistic features are modern steam pipes and, of course, teleport technology.  Not being an RPG player, I wore this delightful sundress from Casa del Shai. When I saw how perfectly it matched the pots in the market, I could not resist taking a snap. With it I am wearing the too charming to be believed mules from Aphrodite Outlander of AC Creations. These shoes are adorable and delightful. Completely the outfit, the cherry wood Boho Gypsy from EarthTones. There are more photos on Flickr – and a closeup and style notes after the jump.

I'll Take Mine On the Rocks

BEWARE MER-MEN AND SAILORS
THERE ARE SIRENS
ON THE ROCKS OF KOH NANA

 

As a former island dweller I have an ridiculous collection of beachwear – and madly enough I’m still buying. Well I do have a pool, so at least it gets used.
I had originally run over to Nicky Ree to pick up this lovely piece. But when surfing through her blog, looking at the lovelies to be had at her store and I ran into THIS . Never let it be said that I’m a freebie shopper only, my financial advisor Silo would definitely confirm this.  I instantly fell in love with the set and made a mental note to pick it up some time in the future.

Look Like Gold

You look like gold to me, and I’m not too blind to see.
Oh, you look like gold.
Said, you look like gold.

And you make me want to sing with all the joy you bring.
Oh, you look like gold.
Oh, you look like gold.

Like the rays down from the sun when a new day has just begun.
You look like gold.
You look like gold.   (Ben Harper)

The moment I saw this dress, these lyrics from Ben Harper popped into my head and stuck. Oh, they stuck!!! Adam and Eve are geniuses at making fluid fabrics that shimmer and shine. Wearing this Snakeskin Gold dress of theirs is like wearing liquid gold. So of course, I dug into my gold jewelry to accessorize, mixing earrings and bangles from DeLa with the perfect gold texture of the Kraftika necklace #112. Yes, I know I wear it a lot. That’s because it’s the Goldilocks of gold – not too brassy, not too bright, not too dull, it’s just right. Speaking of just right – those Glamour Metallic Pumps from Detour are also just right. The water spray from the falls obscures their sheen a bit, but for a perfectly balanced gold, you can’t find better. For more photos, see my Flickr. Continue reading
