Donna Flora Challenge

Have you ever been to Donna Flora? If you have, you will understand what I mean when I say going to Donna Flora is like that Lays Potato Chip commercial that says “No one can eat just one.” It’s near impossible to walk into Donna Flora and leave with just one item – because there’s so much, it’s so good and there’s such variety. From hair, to jewelry, shoes to dresses, from retro to avant garde, basics to high fashion – you will find it there in plenty. So I am not going to challenge you to “eat just one” but to let us all know how many items get added to your wish list.

This Donna Flora dress is called Carla and comes with a beautiful prim spray of flowers and a ruffled prim skirt – all on one attachment point. This may require editing a few pieces separately, but it’s worth it for such a unique look.

Suspenders

Miffyhoi Rosca of Zenith is one of my longest-known really good friends in Second Life. For fear of showing favoritism, I think I might end up blogging her clothing less than other designers – it’s been over two months since I showed you anything from her.  However, when I was cleaning and sorting inventory and put this outfit on, I had to show you. It’s just so chic and sort of reminds me of a coupld of my idols, Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn, two women who showed just how sexy women can look in men’s clothing.

I'm Bad

I am a little bad, I admit, in not getting around to posting any sort of Michael Jackson tribute until now. However, I only just decided to do this when I found the King of Pop pose set at 5ifth Order poses. I only picked up three of the 10 poses – though the entire set was tempting. Actually, the animator has a lovely tableua set up with pose balls that is just itching for a group to go jump on the pose balls and do a great group shot in all the poses. There’s fog, rocks, lights – very King of Pop!  Just as is this outfit I pulled together from Bare Rose, LeeZu and Milk Motion.

Home on the Range

While wandering around the shops outside Alexander Biedermann’s hair shop, I spotted this dress at G&G Designs. It really stood out because most of the clothes were emo fashions. There among the ripped, torn, shredded black, black and more black, there was this little fish out of water. A cheery, 4th of July and Apple Pie sort of outfit with red and white gingham and denim. I could not resist and took off for one of AM Radio’s meditations on space and the prairie to shoot a few picks using Reel Expression’s rail fence chock full of poses.

Sea Cruise

Lelutka has made a gorgeous bikini. There’s lovely prim ties at the hips with a flashy bit of rhinestone crystal bling in the non-scripted sense of the word. The bodice is a great piece of sculptie work that really makes the bikini look natural. It makes me want to take you on a sea cruise.

Old Man Rhythm is in my shoes
It’s no use sittin’ here cryin’ the blues
So be my guest you got nothing to lose
Won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise
I said
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise

Hot Little Number

This is a great 70’s inspired print dress from bdreams with a down to there neckline. Recognizing that silk trim would not really stay in place while actually moving,  the designer placed some strategic strings to avoid any M moments in PG sims. Verisimilitude like that is always appreciated.

The stunning jewelry from everything’s-free Yak & Yeti accentuate the bright pinks with the tourmaline stones.  The MADesigns hair is chic and short.

A Quickie

I am not going to write an essay about how much I love this dress – not when so many others have done a great job of expressing their own admiration for it. I would give it more time if I had styled it in some new and creative way – but you know, I so love its strong shape and the look as intended by the designer – I didn’t want to play with it at all. So here it is – no bells and whistles, but still stunning the Kaori dress from Lelutka.

Perquisites

Blogging has many perquisites, or perks, that we try to make as transparent as possible so our readers know what may or may not influence us. I had to use the word perquisites instead of the usual perks just because 10 dollar words drive Tenshi crazy. And who can resist the opportunity?  Among the perks are occasional promotional copies, advance notice of some releases and even seeing and having an opportunity to give opinions on items in the process of creation. One perk not often mentioned is the occasional discovery of new stores and talents that come about as a result of a designer knocking on my IM window and saying I am sending you a couple items and hope you will look at them.  And that happened this weekend when Nikki Herron of G&N Quality Design sent me a couple folders, including this freebie that she has on offer for this week only.  I was immediately impressed by the quality of the textures – and the bold sweep of the top. I really love the attention taken with the wrinkles, the weave of the fabric and the weave in the capris.

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.

Some Editing Required

Oh, I knew the second my eyes fell on this dress at Lelutka that I would have to do a bit of editing to fit it to my avatar – because it is almost completely sculptie. I also knew that second that it would be worth every second of editing. Following the current trend in RL fashion, the fabric is sheer and ethereal and skin is everywhere. Seriously, is there a more tantalizing top that that peek-a-boo on the side? That’s the reason for the careful editing, to make sure I can walk around and shop and not show more than I want to.  Of course, if someone’s viewer doesn’t rez the sculptie immediately, they might see more than you intend because there is no glitch covering the breasts.You know what, it’s worth the risk.
