So, I went for comfort, but not at the expense of style, not with these glorious pants andd Untone Quilt’s marvelous cardigan. A lovely pink thermal top from pig makes it complete.

Big Bad Blogger Challenge #2
Alice Chenaux now asks us to describe the perfect day in SL. That’s so hard because different days I want different things from SL, but a day filled with my favorite things would include shooting an outfit or two for the blog, chatting or styling or shooting with Gidge or going with her to a party and some time chatting with Maht and listening to him play some music. Add a little exploring of a new sim and you have a perfect day and a fairly common Sunday.
As to the dress, this is from DYN – another shop on My Little List – and I love the explosion of color at the hem.
Big Bad Blogger Challenge Post #1
Alice Chenaux has kicked of the Big Bad Blogger Challenge and I thought why not? The first question is: How long have you been a blogger? How has it enriched your life?
I started my blog on January 1st, 2008 and posted a couple of times and then had no idea what to do, how to get someone else to read it. So it languished for a few months while I began reading the blogs more carefully and learning more about SL fashion. The real start of my blog was in April of 2008 and with Gidge and myself, we have somehow managed to post more 1100 helping of rainbow poop since then.
My life has been enriched by the new friendships I have made thanks to the blog. Not just friendships with designers, jewelers, models, stylists and bloggers, but also with readers who have commented and gone on to IM me in-world. I also have found the challenge of styling a good outfit or making a good photo shoot very fulfilling.
I've Got a Little List
However, unlike the Executioner, this is not a list of those who won’t be missed. In fact, it’s a list of stores some fellow plurkers thought have been missed. So…. list in hand I went off shopping and found some real treasures – and believe me, I will go back to those stores in the future. I used some items from that shopping trip to pull together this fun outfit including the truly magnificent plaid pants, or should I say pantz, from Nomine. I added an old blouse from Street Magic and a waistcoat that was sent to me by Ayumi back in May but that I didn’t even notice until last night – a sad reflection on the state of my inventory.
Quick Look: Maple
So I looking for Untone Quilt at an old SLurl, I happened on Maple where real life creations are brought into second life – and the photo of the original is shown so you can see how well the design has been translated. Honestly? I think I like the Second Life versions best. Here are three lively and fun print blouses from Maple.
A-Bomb is The Bomb
When Lavea Alter dropped a folder with some newness from A-Bomb, I didn’t look right away. I had recently shown a few great outfits from A-Bomb and had a long list of to-do outfits. But then, curiosity got the better of me and I tried on this outfit called Ventura Highway and was thrilled to see that Lavea has added the shadows on the skin that clothes naturally cast – a huge step forward in design and one that very few clothiers take the trouble and effort to do. Look along the neckline, the waistline, the edges of the top – this is someone stepping it up several notches. And look at that prim ruffle, is that insanely good or what? What’s even better is the ruffle comes on the chest and the spine so you can wear it as you need it.
Relay For Life
The Relay For Life Fashion Expo is in its fifth day and having visted three times, I can attest that it’s been a pleasant and lag-free experience everytime. Excitement around this expo seems subdued and perhaps that is due to a surfeit of fashion events and celebrations. However, that should not discourage anyone from going to this event for several reasons. Foremost, there are many special creations on sale that benefit the search for cancer treatments. Secondly, many designers respond to the challenge of creating some limited edition item for sale at these expose with some of their best work. Third, you should go just to see the magnificent one-of-a-kind designs that will be auctioned off to raise even more money for cancer research. Fourth, if you love purple – RFL is a purple fest. Now the dress I am wearing is Baiastice special edition RFL dress. The jewelry is EarthStone special RFL set. Continue reading
Dress Me In Latin
When SarahtheRed Aubierre asked if any bloggers were interested in promotional copies of her newest dress I jumped at the chance. With typical laziness I have had her shop on my list but have not made it there yet. I expected to like it because the name was so smart – Vanitas Vesture. The use of the latin made me think she would be making clothes with classic shapes – and sure enough that’s exactly what this dress is.
Has Digit Darkes Lost Her Mind?
Well, no she hasn’t, but you might if you try to figure out exactly how many combinations of jewels and dresses you can get out of her new Delhi dress. I didn’t even mess with the jewel color which has a treasure trove of jewel options and only fiddled with the texture change skirt simply because that is such a new innovation and look what happened.
I was cloned!!! These are the possible shirt texture options on the texture-changing skirt in the Delhi dress – the mustard version. Incidentally, shouldn’t it be called Curry Yellow instead of Mustard Yellow – just because.I am wearing Baiastice’s Querelle shoes in Gold. Digit makes a matching pair of shoes that has matching color change gems, but you know, you give me that many choices and I will be paralyzed by choice.
Catching up with Lorelei
Whippet & Buck's High-waisted skirt allows for fun mixing and matching.
One of the real pleasures of the Double Take project is catching up with old friends with whom I have lost touch. One such person is Lorelei Maggs whom I met when I worked cleaning up prim trash at Vicious and Gidge was my boss. She was also an early client of MDR Studio – though Maht took her pictures, not me. So last night was the first time she was in front of my camera and as soon as I zoomed in I saw she had on some breathtaking jewelry. Surprise, surprise! She had made it. I got a LM and went there immediately after I finished shooting last night and picked up some amazing sets…one of which I put on and decided to add to this outfit.
