Fall's Fancy

posted by Gidge Uriza

Laynie Link had a tremendous sale a few weeks ago, where she got rid of a lot of her older fashions to make room for new pieces.  I took advantage and had to expand all of my closets because of it, I tell you. This beautiful fall colored set – Hibiscus Dreams – is separates so you can pick up the skirt or shirt or both. Where can you get them? Both are still available on ONREZ lucky girls.

The skirt has a texture like crushed silk, it’s lovely and has a beautiful swaying action when you walk…..very delicate and lady like. Continue reading →

Man, I Feel Like A Woman

So this scanty outfit started with the hair. I’d found some big foofy hair at a designer (who shall remain nameless) and it was just all that and a bag of chips. But, sigh, the economics of it were paining me. One color only for L$400?  So many designers are at least including a couple of tones or more for LESS money….

Quibbling over a couple of hundred lindens might seem silly but in fact, I’m just an AV like everyone else and not always MADE of money. Cajsa reminded me that I could check Damselfly for some big hair that might be what I was looking for, so I flew over there. Continue reading →

We've Got System Skirts - And We're Not Afraid to Use Them

Posted by Gidge Uriza

In the middle of a shoot the other night Cajsa and I both got the group notice that there was about to be a fashion show – in approximately 30 minutes. We decided we would finish up the shoot and then slip into something LOW ARC yet fashionably acceptable, and roll over to see the show. It was designer we both adore so we were really looking forward to it.

28 minutes and 147 hairstyles reviewed by Cajsa later we were dressed and ready to go. So we pop over to the show.

It used to be that lucky chairs were full of junk no one wanted, but still – you were kinda tickled if you won.  Then slowly, good designers have added them. And now even, it’s become a truly fashionable trend to create the lucky chair only items.

 

Our desire to obtain what cannot be BOUGHT therefore creates spontaneous Lucky Chair Parties. Such as at Zaara one night.  Cajsa and I were shopping and decided to stop in to see what was up with the lucky chair – there was a beautiful new dress in the chair (pictured obviously).

Dirndl Delicious

This is one of my favorite dresses. I usually pull it out when cooler weather comes because of the fur collar, but the light airy skirt really speaks more to a warmer climate. Maybe it’s warm days – cool nights gown. Let’s play guess the designer. Ready?

This comes with three different color “jackets” which are the waist cincher. It comes with two different color tops plus two different fur collars, AND it comes with hose. Because of the great layer options, you can actually wear this dress a lot of different ways, which is typical of this designer – as are the colors included in the pack.

No guesses? None? Really!?

It’s Bare Rose.

Just when you thought Bare Rose was only for Gothic-Armored-Yukata Wearing-Post Apocalyptic-Vampire-Fairy-Cowboys, you find some other gems on the walls. Some of my favorite pieces I own from Bare Rose came from lonely nights on The Grid, just chilling out looking vendor by vendor at Bare Rose just to see what June has. After all, with SO much for sale – it’s hard to really know WHAT your options are. Continue reading →

Sometimes I get a review pack from someone I’ve never heard of, and this can be the most fun of all. It’s like being given a bag of treasure. There are so many places to shop on The Grid, you couldn’t EVER hit them all simply due to the fact that places open and close faster than you could complete your list.

I think that’s sort of exciting and daunting at the same time. Continue reading →

Kungler’s has started putting out luxurious evening wear, and with the holiday season coming up full speed it’s never too early to start adding pieces for your fall/winter events. This elegant formal look boasts sleek lines, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn – with over the top elegance on the bolero prim.

You can always expect variety with Kunglers releases, so you’ll find the bolero on different layers and lovely options on how to put this look together. So if you want elegant but the poofy bolero is too much, you can just wear it without the prim attachment for a sleek jacket look. Continue reading →

Cajsa came up with the theme for this hottie look when I was wanting to shoot some lingerie…the location inspired it I’m sure…..as this place seems about ready for the family to descend to wait for Big Daddy to die.

Wearing Simone!’s Hot Tin Roof Slip dress I escaped the family drama to cool off down by the river. After all, if I’m Maggie…..I’ve clearly got crazy family to escape. Continue reading →

My friend Delilah loves to go to the reggae bars. She’s hunting that perfect rastafarian to help her find peace with the universe I think. I wanted to go out with her one night, I brought her to SL but like so many people you bring in world……she wandered off into her OWN new world and we don’t hang much. I wasn’t sure what to WEAR to a reggae bar. I mean, I haven’t been to one in world before.

I decided something colorful was in order and I hadn’t worn this pretty set from Foxy Moron yet. Continue reading →

Cajsa posted a while back about the wonderful goodies that were free over at Yak and Yeti – and since I ALWAYS need more jewelry (duh You’ve MET ME RIGHT?) I went rushing over without an appreciation for HOW MUCH WAS FREE.

I walked a way with more sari’s and other traditional gear than my sherpa could carry, let me tell you. Continue reading →
