Too Pretty for Mourning

2 Replies

This lovely black gown with the gorgeous fur neckline and the lovely tulle drapped gloves was sent from the soon to open Phoenix Rising. I fell in love with the exquisitely rumpled full skirt and the beautifully constructed fur collar. As soon as I tried a necklace, though, the collar dropped off as it was attached to the chest instead of the spine.  So I decided to copy the collar and attach the copy to the spine to free up the chest for a necklace and thought I might show you my method which is pretty easy and foolproof.

Long-Legged Mini

2 Replies

Skin Flicks has released a bunch of minidresses that will make your legs look like the go on forever.  They’re a bit short for my usual taste, but are made quite well and are different enough from most minis to be really interesting. For example, the lace-up bodice on this one is repeated with a lace-up side seam on the skirt.

Mondrian

2 Replies

Ever since Yves St. Laurent ripped Mondrian’s paint off the canvass and shaped his art onto a woman’s body, colorblock dresses have been a perenniel staple of fashionistas around the world. In this iteration, Dani’s Fashions adds a perfectly matched yellow jacket with lines that align perfectly with the dress. It’s really quite stunning and was a joy to accessorize.

Quick Look: Kali

Leave a reply

I admit I have favorite designers – and Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice is one of them. She brings such whimsy and joy to her work that her clothes often make me smile. She’s generous with her group, providing monthly gifts that can bowl you over. She creates new silhouettes and has new ideas  – and most of them work well. Then she turns around and makes some delightful bit of fun like this Kali jacket that all you can really say is that she is unpredictable.

Digitally Enhanced

Slap me before I pun again. Many of you have seen several of Digit Darkes new sex-on-wheels outfits this past week so I thought I would show you one and focus mainly on the hairstyle I am wearing with it. I organize my hair into two main folders, one for Red Hair and one for everything else. The Red Hair Folder is the big one and inside it I have the expected sub-folders for short, medium etc. One folder, though, I have labelled photo hair and in it I keep those photo-loving hairstyles that are not quite made for walking around, but that look wonderful in a photo. The new Esme hairstyle from Exile is going in that folder.

1 + 1 = 3

Leave a reply

So while wandering the shops at Ivy Falls I came upon a shop with a mixed bag of clothes from different stores. Above the door, almost invisible to the casual shopper I saw this ballgown that seemed sort of anachronistic. The sleeves and skirt and all seemed like a historical gown, but the shirt fabric with the elephants was clearly modern.  It occurred to me that bringing it into the future with a mini skirt would be kind of fun and be a great example of how mixing and matching can make 1 plus 1 equal 3.

Having fun with tints

Leave a reply

I picked up the marvelous Exile Shir hair – a fundraiser for Heart of Love – and love it’s classic looks and its flexibility. That clip holding the french twist in place is color change, but it’s also modifiable, so I could color it to be as matchy-matchy as I wanted. Now how fun is that?  And if you get this marvelous hairstyle you will also be helping the Heart of Love campaign.  It’s the epitome of win-win. Then you can wear it with the over the moon wonderful watercolor sweater and skirt from Uncle Wiggily.

Looking for Gold

1 Reply

The other day I was shopping at Adam N Eve, looking to see if their made their wonderful high-waisted leather skirt in gold as well as silver. They don’t, I want. I wanted to wear it with this top – a blouse I love with reservations. It’s a gorgeous design, I love the intricate black on black embroidery and would wear it more often if it were not sold on only the jacket layer. I would like to tuck it in sometimes.  I would like to wear it under a jacket sometimes. It’s a constant refrain from those of us who write about fashion, give us more layers. Continue reading →

How can you mend a broken heart?

Leave a reply

This top, skirt, belt and bangles are all from Ornamental Life. Shir Dryke of Ornamental Life needs help right now. A donor heart is being kept for her - in an act of amazing grace a family is keeping a man alive to give her a heart - if only we can all do our part, too, she could have a new chance at life.

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.
