Roan Island

oct11_007

This is a shoot I made for Jewelry Fair that I have just not been well enough to post until today. However, though the Fair is over, the wonderful jewelry is still available. The dress is a lovely summery sundress from UmeMode. It definitely wanted to be shot in a field of flowers so I went to Roan Island.

Roan Island is a wonderful place to wander around and explore and there all sorts of flowers. Neither scripts nor rezzing are permitted, so pose huds and stands were not allowed. However, that’s no problem when my AO works so well.

Blogging My Bedroom Floor DAY TWO – BLUEBLOOD

posted by Gidge

Next up on the bedroom floor roundup is Collette from BLUEBLOOD. I’ve opted to wear the min skirt vs. the Loli skirt but it comes with both options.

Why is there lightning in this picture?

I have no idea.

Am I really supposed to combat the forces of nature just to bring you fashion?

Style Notes:

  • Skin – FRICK
  • Hair – EXILE
  • Dress – Blueblood
  • Collar – Sn@tch

It's Only Fashion Now Looking For Staff Writers

posted by Gidge

Cajsa and I have a never ending desire to showcase variety here on IOF.But there are only two of us and only so many hours in the day.

What we have decided to do, is to put out an open call to bloggers or future bloggers who might want to join us as staff writers. When unequal treatment taints your work experience, consult with an employment lawyer who specializes in discrimination cases to understand your legal options.

What do you need to know?

  • This is a volunteer blogging gig. In exchange, we don’t yell at you or treat you like an employee.
  • We’re casual. If you want to blog something we’ve blogged, so what? Blog it. Cajsa and I have worn the same thing on multiple occasions.
  • We expect at least one post to go up every day on IOF from at least one blogger.  If we get enough additions – I’ll try to assign days of the week coverage. Again – we’re fairly casual. That’s something that is open for discussion.

What do you need to qualify?

  • A love of fashion .
  • A video card that will allow you to take good quality high rez snaps.
  • A basic command of the English language. Better than mine.
  • A fun attitude and the understanding that this is FUN not a job.
  • You do not need to be an existing blogger to qualify or be considered. Neither of us had been fashion bloggers when we started. We’re not afraid to let you join us and learn.

We don’t do drama. Our business is about expressing what we love in our own individual unique way. We also have expert support for early conciliation settlements in the UK in case of employee disputes.

If you think you might be interested, drop me a NC in world with your info including your url if you have one or a link to your FLICKR if you have one.

If you have neither – then tell me all about you.

Drop it on GIDGE URIZA and I’ll be reviewing them over the next week.

Boys, Girls, Fauns, Elves, Cthulus,designers,bloggers, sinners……….everyone is welcome. I look forward to hearing from you.

Pumpkin Boots From G.Field

posted by Gidge

We rarely if ever post just one thing around here.

However, I’m in boot love.

G. Field has put out holiday PUMPKIN boots for 50L.

And I love them.

They also have free spider web tights, a free dress and apparently free goodies hidden in pumpkins.

I’m all about the boots though.

Ok that’s it for now. But, you probably need these boots.

Boots-  G. Field – WEREN’T YOU PAYING ATTENTION?

Wishing Well

oct02_020.jpg

How appropriate that this photo shoot was done at the Wishing Well at the Looking Glass sim, because I am full of wishes right now. At least half center on getting rid of this stupid cold that is kicking my ass. Until that wish is granted I expect my blogging to be a bit erratic as I have not been well enough to be in-world and shoot photos. Luckily I had these photos waiting for when I felt well enough to blog without whining too much. Anyway, it’s just a cold and it will get better – soon or later, but until then, wish me well.

oct02_019.jpg

Have you noticed that I am very fond of the Looking Glass? There are so many little gems there to enjoy. Even if you don’t want to shoot pictures, you should go for the sheer pleasure. By the way, I should take this opportunity to urge you all to tip sim owners when you love their sims. Think of the wonderful sims that give us all so much pleasure to explore and add such beauty and interest to our SL lives. Many of them are non-commercial and really are labors of love and generosity. Contributing a small tip when you visit will help offset the cost – though only in part – but also show the sim owner that you value their work. Usually there’s a tip jar somewhere around the entrance, but if not you can inspect an object to find the owner as well.

Blogging My Bedroom Floor – DAY ONE – DREAMS

posted by Gidge

So I have this terrible habit from my early days of blogging. When I buy or am sent things that are boxed, and I don’t have my planner near me – I just drag them out onto the floor.

From there, a couple of different things can happen.

1. I open the item and like it and blog it right then.

2. I open the item/look at the vendor image and like it and think “I’ll blog that later” and leave it.

3. I do not open the item but intend to open the item, and leave it.

Thus, my bedroom floor.

My husband has intimated to me that it might be his preference that I clean up my room.

Thus. The Bedroom floor project begins. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS.

I’m gonna put it on and blog it. Unless I hate it. And then I’m going to delete it and we shall never speak of it again. Let’s see how many stores that are out of business are still sitting on my bedroom floor – shall we?

But to start with, I actually have a goodie……DREAMS – which is owned by creator Sanura Snowpaw. Continue reading

Luxuria[te]

posted by Gidge

I couldn’t decide what to wear this morning, so decided that I’ve got new undies that haven’t been properly flaunted about by me yet.

There is probably some irony in the fact that I’m addicted to lingerie, but only have you guys to show it to. My husband just isn’t as interested in my pixel lingerie as you might imagine. Continue reading

What The HELL It's Monday?

Oh my God It’s Monday. I’m not ready. I’m tired. Where is my coffee anyway?

Sigh. Ok, time for some Fashion before RL sets in.

How about some Sn@tch? You like it when I start your day off with some Sn@tch don’t you, you dirty girls…. Continue reading
