Pretty in Pinky

Posted by Gidge Uriza – FYI this is a review – but I can’t get the review logo to post!

When rifling through my new PXL Linda skins I found, to my delight, at the bottom of the group some skins with fun pink and purple tones. I immediately wanted to wear something light and summery and pulled out this dress from BINGO that I forgot I picked up. Continue reading

Grace in a Skin Flick

I received two sets from Skin Flicks to review, the first being that cocktail dress I showed you a few days ago, and then THIS lovely piece – completely on the other end of the spectrum – fashion wise.

Or is it? Continue reading

Ski Trip!

posted by Gidge Uriza

Now you may be saying to yourself…..”Ummm, Gidge, you can’t ski in that…..”

And I know this, but this super cute sweater from Izumiya put me in mind of ski trips from my past. Trips with friends, where you’d buy the coolest sweaters you could find for those evenings in the lodge, sipping mulled wine and talking about the powder.

And then here’s my confession. Continue reading

Armada!

posted by Gidge Uriza

I love to cruise Indyra Originals every now and again just to see what’s new because you never know what you’re going to find (I mean this in a good way). I fell in love instantly with Armada – remembering that I had seen it before and crashed right before I bought it.  It had slipped from my mind until I strolled back through there last week…… Continue reading

So You Need THE Dress….

posted by Gidge Uriza

Someone on the Vain Group IM the other night called out “HELP! I need the dress!” A few thought she needed a wedding dress.

But I knew. She wanted the dress. A dress of power.  A show stopper.  Her exact request had something to do with making his pants fall down around his ankles – but you get the point.

Luckily I knew where to find one. Continue reading

Not Your Typical Skin Flick

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve discovered a new shop to love, thanks to this excellent review pack I was sent from Skin Ficks. My first instinct was, upon hearing the name, that the clothes would be of the SL Hooker-Blingtard variety and I’d throw them out.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Continue reading

Talk To Me, Goose

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve finally re-emerged from the ranks of the drug induced exhaustion + carpal tunnel that has pretty much kept me away from the keyboard except when at work.

I love it when a doctor prescribes me something and then says, “This is going to make you unbelievably exhausted. It really induces a strong sense of fatigue.”

Why, lovely…….do you have anything that makes me feel fat and ugly and we can just call it depression in a bottle?

LUCKILY I have a pixel world when I can escape these doldrums…….and I get some great opportunities to show you some fun pieces for the having. This set is really all built around this skin.  You see, because Cajsa is EVIL  my good friend she took me to Symphony to check out their skins.

Sigh…..I barely knew where to start. Continue reading

Plum Cute!


posted by Gidge Uriza

Many of you might be aware that Teagan Blackthorne and Laynie Link recently re-invented their design house and launched the TEA LANE shop with new designs. I have been remiss in checking it out (It’s totally on my list) but Laynie was good enough to drop me some goodies to check out the new offerings.

Cowl neck sweater dress? MATCHING BOOTS? YAY! Continue reading

Who Needs Another Prim Skirt and Tank Top Combo?

posted by Gidge Uriza

Well…….I do.

Casual wear in our world consists of pants and tops or skirts and tops – just like RL. So yeah, it can get tiresome to see tank after tank after tank paired with this or that. Which is where patterns and textures come in so nicely.

For me, this ensemble at SHAMELESS was an easy sell, the skirt is simple and unobtrusive (prims skirts have to be eye-catchingly brilliant or very simple in my opinion) and the top is a fun print. Continue reading

How Can I Be Sick………?


posted by Gidge Uriza

……When I am so CLEARLY dressed for the ball!

Yes ladies, I’m totally stricken with the plague. I’ve neglected all my blogging responsibilities in favor of some serious sleep, and pillow drooling.  Surprisingly, the pillow drooling has not been as therapeutic as I’d imagined.

But I digress……. Continue reading
