Innovation

3 Replies

Second Life is full of innovation and Second Life fashion is no different. Designers are always looking for new shapes, new ways with clothing and hair and skin and that’s what makes it so exciting. Today I am sporting two new and innovative pieces that take advances pushed by others another step father. The dress is from Lelutka – a sculptie dress though for modesty’s sake there are glitch clothes underneath. Becuase sculpties don’t move the way flexi-prims do, there’s an AO included to help you keep your arms and hands out of your dress. The hair is an innovation as well, from YourSkin, the hair is painted right on the skin and the only attachment is the chignon in the back.. low lag skin and hair that’s beautiful. The ARC for this outfit was 246.

Swimming (with some Posemaker Appreciation)

Leave a reply

So, I wanted to show you how gorgeous the new skin from Genesis is and thought a swim shoot would be ideal. I threw on one of Vogel’s gorgeous bikinis and jumped in the water. Using poses from Niqotine’s wonderful Water Poses set, I shot a few pictures that show off the skin and the poses. Continue reading →

This fun and creative pink halter to with prim fringe is one of many special items available at Hope Valley created to raise money to fund breast cancer research. BOOM – where you can find this and a man’s I <3 Boobies shirt is only one of the many stores selling special items. Others are The Sea Hole, Naith Smit Designs, Republica, *BOOM*, Diamond Photography, .tga swimwear, Gigi Couture, Aden, and Meya.

Hearts & Moonshine

1 Reply

This newest design from Moonshine Clothing is called Gem – and how apt that name is for this is a gem of a dress.  The bodice comes on all layers and can easily be worn with pants and other skirts. The question is who would want to wear it with any other skirt than this luscious little gem. Normally I run from fabric covered in hearts – thinking they all look a bit twee. Not this. Partly because the colors are not the ubiquitous pink, red and white  but the fresher green, blue and brown. It’s not just that though, it’s also the fine details such as the lacing on the skirt and the perfect little metal holes for the laces. You would have to look long and hard to find something so fresh, new and exciting – and with hearts on it no less.

A Sure Touch

Leave a reply

There’s no sure touch with separates than Iki from Dutch Touch – whose newest release of casual separates will not disappoint. For me the highlight is the striped sweater – which comes in many different color combinations including the lovely  pink/raspberry sweater above. The skirt is Baiastice and comes with that bright silver belt right on the glitch pants layer

The Start of Something Big

1 Reply

There’s more than green beer to look forward to on St. Patrick’s Day this year. At 5 pm that day, Ryker Beck will release her new Genesis Eden skins to the general public.  Many of you know Ryker Beck for her outstanding photography and her jewelry line. She has always been generous with tips and tutorials on her web site for those seeking to improve their SL photo skills. As a photographer first – I think she has brought a special understanding to the art of skin creation.  And for those of us plurkers, we have followed the process of creating Eden from alpha to omega. Today you will probably see the 8 different shades this skin comes in all across the fashion blogs – because it’s an exciting new skin.

Afrophilia

2 Replies

The new issue of Vanity Fair suggests that the explosion of leopard, zebra crocodile and python in fashion is the byproduct of Afrophilia. They offer many examples of clothes and accessories in the trend – but I don’t know if that proves their point.

I was thinking it was nostalgia for the Abba and disco. 8)  To illustrate my suggestion, I went for it big with leopard and palazzo pants and hair that might be a bit over the top – but it sings “I Will Survive” at the top of its lungs. Not only will I survive, but I will wrestle wild animals to do so.

An Ode to the System Skirt

Leave a reply

With all due apologies to Mrs. Browning:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My hem can reach, when looking out of sight
For the ends of Fashion and PXL’s Grace.
I love thee to the end of everyday’s
Fashion Feed, by Default and Windlight.

Sometimes when I see a dress that draws my eye, I realize that it is a twofer. What I mean is that it can be worn off the rack, so to speak, as a dress or it can be worn as separates, the skirt being worn with other tops, the bodice being worn with pants or a skirt.  Often when I decide to mix it up, I try a system skirt first because they often have higher waists and the blouse-waist transition is less problematic.

Lotería

2 Replies

I used to love playing Lotería – a graphic bingo/keno game very popular in Mexico. We played it in Spanish class on the days when our teacher was tired and really would have rather been home with a blanket and a good book.  She pretended it was in the lesson plan, but we all knew better. What made Lotería so funwere the fabulous and, to us, bizarre illustrations.  You cannot play without wondering how those particular items were chosen to be the magical 54 illustrations. Whatever it was – it was genius and so are the lovely Lotería earrings and other jewelry produced recently  by Halfpint Pennel from the Stokame Artist Colony. It’s so great to find something new and different and fun. I have to say the same thing when I mention the scarf shown here. From Vette’s, this scarf is a clever combination of prim with your choice of undershirt, shirt or jacket layer options that makes it look nearly flawless.
