What’s soft, snuggly and so-so chic? My answer is the lovely fur poncho from Lelutka. Called Rea, it’s Rea-lly perfect for a chilly walk at Roche, the lovely sim where I shot the pictures.
The dress is equally perfect for the chilly weather, a lovely striped sweater dress from A-Bomb called Cold Embrace. Isn’t it fun how A-Bomb names all their outfits after song titles?
Lost in your cold embrace
I’ll perceive your light
Burning my life inside
You will see my fire fade away
There’s a reason everyone waits expectantly for new releases from Lelutka. There are always deliciously beautiful clothing to excite and tantalize us. Among my favorites from the releases last month is this gorgeous dress aptly Oman, with its waves of luscious ombre fabric with a rich black taffeta overskirt. It’s lush, romantic and oh-so-exhilirating.
I shot it at the lovely Barbee sim that is one of the rare black and white venues in Second Life. A warren of shops and buildings with little nooks of trees and foliage, the only exterior flashes of color come from peacock feather trees. It was a lovely place to highlight the lovely colors of the skirt.

The newest pet and I have to say, the first one to really catch my eye has arrived – or should I say is arriving this week. Callie Cline invited the Fashion Bloggers group over today for a sneak peak and to roam about the sim.
And yes, I’m in love and WILL Be going back to get me a kitty or two. One AWESOME feature that Callie shared with me is that you’ll have the option with these to make them permapets – you don’t HAVE to breed and feed them if you choose ( I don’t know how that works but I love the idea!).
They’ve also created a BEAUTIFUL photo park that I can see the bloggers will be running about to take picture in. I know I will. Continue reading
Well, I always say if you are gong to be blogging from a hospital, might as well make it cozy. Sadly, I am back in the hospital with more post-surgical complications, but I have some outfit shot waiting to blog, including this lovely, cozy sweater and jeans. The top is a lush velour sweater from Malt that has that lustrous touchability that makes velour look so cozy.
The jeans are from Zaara who is one of the best with textures in SL and these jeans are no exception. I took the pics at one of the buildings for sale at the Mechanical Toy Factory. All the furniture, including that toasty wood stove are on sale as well.

I decided that after I had ventured across hot and steamy Africa that I needed to cool off in the snow, so a vacation to Lake Tahoe was in order. Continue reading
I love it when folks send me a landmark for a new place to explore. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice knows my love of exploring since I frequently offer to TP her to see this or that place I want to show off. The other night she sent me a LM, and before I even got to exploring, I found this little alcove in front of the Mechanical Toy Factory store. I got so engrossed in shooting pictures, I forgot to go into the store until the next time I logged in.
The dress is a silver leather dress from Pequ with gorgeous zipper piping to add visual interest.

I fell in love yesterday, with an installation called XIV on the Dignity Sim. Such a stunning venue deserved a stunning dress and the limited edition Nora from Baiastice is just the dress. Designed for the Chic Limited event that features 30 designers producing works based on a theme. The January theme is Sweet and Sour. Sadly, it’s been so long since shooting water, I forgot that shooting pictures larger than your screen size will fracture the water in photos – a sorry photo glitch that has been around for over a year now.
Because of the water glitch, I logged back in just to shoot some photos of the sim reducing the size to my screen size – which is how you get rid of that glitch. Here’s one of the many photos from XIV, the lovely installation. I took a few dozen photos of the sim for the Stock Photos Flickr group Sasy Scarborough started – sharing photos suitable for people to use as backgrounds for those who prefer shooting in the studio and popping in a background later.

I don’t know what ancient arbiter of style first asserted that thou shalt never mix prints, but he was as wrong as two left shoes. Luckily, our generation has gotten over that hoary antique of fashion diktat and moved on to a more exciting and more printastic era. Mixing prints is an art and one well practiced at Peqe as you can see in the lovely little dress that mixes a leopard and lace print. Of course, I had to add to the printasm with floral tights.
Mixing three prints could be a clashtastrophe, but notice what is next to what. You see, the first is mostly black, then mostly white, then mostly black. If the floral were next to the leopard, it would not work.

I don’t know about you, but my first impulse when I put on a sleek and silky dress is to rush right out in the snow for picture-taking. I am not alone in this as you know if you, like me, enjoy looking at all the pictures from other bloggers.
When I put on this gorgeous plum colored gown from Donna Flora, I immediately had to ask the seals at the lovely Winter Solstice sim what they thought of the riotous roses on the sleeves and shoulders. They approved.
