Chicago, Chicago

Leave a reply

I went to The Velvet yesterday for one of Maht’s special sets – this time a Chicago set featuring musicians from Chicago. It was a great set with songs by Wilco, Andrew Bird, Poi Dog Pondering and dozens more great Chicago musicians. I felt lazy and just lolled on the couch instead of dancing and could not choose better lolling clothes than this top and skirt from Mood.G.  The dark blue top is also a great setting to show of the fabulous new necklace from Zaara. She has been releasing some amazing jewelry lately. Her Statement Earrings and Bangles were just appetizers, though, for the fabulous necklaces released this weekend.  I was not feeling the best yesterday and was only online for a little over an hour and got three compliments on that necklace. Since I only saw about 8 people in that time, that’s pretty amazing.

Really Really Red

5 Replies

I wandered over to Baiastice because I wanted to see the new build. It is lovely and I really like that the new items are so easy to see, but the red is this dress is so red and so vibrant that the first, last and only thing you see when you walk into the store is the dress. It’s got built-in eye magnets.

DARE – ing

1 Reply

Last Friday I DJ’ed at Vicious Southside  and decided to dress the rocker chick part to the nth degree. When I got around to shooting the photos, though, I could not resist using the fun and avant garde poses from DARE – which means, of course, that I shot a pile of pictures. My outfit was mostly Mimikri – taking the bodice from a dress and mixing with pants and a jacket.

I'm a Real Pixel Girl – No FakE!

by Gidge Uriza

I got a review box dropped on me from FakE at some point in time. As I’ve been off the grid for days due to be on bedrest I owe them and everyone else who dropped stuffs on me an apology – I am behind but will catch up! PROMISE!

The first thing I pulled out of the FakE! box was the flutter yellow top and the slouchy cords with fun embroidery. Continue reading →

Blogger Challenge: More to Love

1 Reply

Hybie challenged us to make a cute plus-sized shape and style it. I dawdled because I was busy on other projects – but last night I bit the bullet and got to it.  Trinny and Suzannah may object to the baby doll as one of their key lessons is to define the shape, not hide it. Nonetheless, I could not resist its powerful allure. The little dress from Fishy Strawberry is too cute and demanded to be worn NOW – and would not wait. I tried to wear something else, but it leapt out of my closet and ran around hollering  “wear me, wear me, wear me.”  Clothes can be so demanding sometimes.

Am I Blue?

Leave a reply

This lovely dress from Lelutka is called Cai and it’s an extraordinary mix  of dead sexy revelation with high fashion elegance.  The sheer fabric on the torso is one we see too frequently used to create rather vulgar and pedestrian outfits that litter the grid. Here, though, it’s clear the designer knows that less is more when it comes to exposure. So you have this lovely revelation of the torso that does not stray too low or too high. The erotic is in the mind and involves anticipation and imagination – and so when clothing hints but does not show too much, it’s dead sexy.

Up on the Roof

1 Reply

Like many of the people in SL, I live in a skybox. Actually, I have joined a couple skyboxes together to make my house, moving and removing some walls and plopping a little skybox on top of the main one. I also use the roof – it’s my dance and party floor decorated with fantastical flowers from Eshi Otawara. I love astronomy and added a little meteor shower from 2extreme just for fun.

I decided to shoot this outfit up on the roof just to shoot around those beautiful flowers.  The top is a lovely casual black and gray top from Dutch Touch, and the gray pants are wonderful wide leg palazzos.

Where did summer go?

The summer has raced past so fast that here it is Labor Day – the psychological end of summer – and I am only now getting around to blogging this gorgeous dress from Armidi calle Midsummer Nights. How’s that for the days racing by. And sure enough – the rains have come. It rained yesterday and last night and so I guess this is more than the psychological end of summer.
