Looking for Letters

Just because I am on the hunt for the 15 missing letters to help solve the Room 326 Hunt doesn’t mean I have to dress down. Some of the places you travel to along the way are quite elegant and deserve a little care spent on my appearance. Besides, I have wanting to wear the Tulip dress from E! Eclectic Apparel for Collabor88 almost all month. The Tulip dress is a chic little strapless number with a grosgrain black ribbon highlighting the empire waist that leads to a front pleat dress. The pleat’s soft folds convey the idea of a tulip giving the dress its name.  Continue reading →

Diaphanous Spindrift

Onomatopoeia is the word that describes those words who sound like the sounds they describe. As the song goes, it’s “sort of zoom, zip, hiccup, drip
Ding, dong, crunch, crack, bark, meow, whinnie, quack.” But I think we need a word for words that sounds like what they mean. Take diaphanous, for example. Diaphanous usually is used to refer to sheer fabrics, but to me, the word even sounds diaphanous. Isn’t there something sort of light and feminine of the “dis” leading into the soft and delicate sound of “phan” that rolls in to whispery soft “pus.” Of course a word that sounds like that has to mean delicate, light, ethereal.

The Splash (onomatopoeia) dress from SySy’s is diaphanous. Its layers are sheer as cobwebs, a gossamer confection of sheer fabric floating over another layers of fabric and falling like a spindrift on the waves of the ocean. The ombre silver to green color of the fabric adds to the seafoam delicacy as to the waves suggested by the hemline.

Devil in the Details

I had so much fun posing and shooting this dress. That is because the mesh is simply amazing and I loved watching it work its magic when I changed poses. You see that fold of fabric in the front. Watching it fold and unfold as I moved, I was a struck by what is truly an amazing job of mesh engineering. The dress is from Gizza and is available at Euphoria LIMITED. There are only 100 copies for sale, so get there quick. Update: DANG! It’s already sold out. I hope Gizza releases this in other colors. UPDATE: It has been released in other colors.

Doubling Up Again

Did Monica Outlander intend to give us two dresses in one with her recent release of her Lorella gown for MiaMai? We cannot be sure, but we can be sure that opera length or full length, this gown delivers. With its rich brocade fabric in glorious jewel tones to the details such as the bow on the back and the bottom ruffle of flexi rib satin that gives it movement, the Lorella gown combines sumptuous luxury with sassy joie d’vivre.

In this picture, I have left the lower part of the skirt off, giving myself a lovely below-the-knee cocktail dress. This also lets you see the Lily pumps with their triple bows, another saucy bit of fashion know-how from MiaMai.

zombie glitter pants

This is another look, well, HALF a look I put together from my Objects Folder – Blogger challenge. I say half because some of these items are new to me. The skin, pants, eyes and top were all hiding in my objects folder. The skin was apparently a Halloween gift from Glam Affair and it reminds me of a zombie. It has cool veins poking through.

Objects Folder – Blogger Challenge

Leave a reply

Last night I decided I had some time on my hands, the boy child was sleeping, the S.O went to a movie, I had finished watching “Girls” so I thought “what the hell”, I’m going to organize my OBJECTS folder. Now, on my old avatar this never happened, but on my newer avie I like to keep things clean. Two days ago I freaked out because my inventory had inched passed 20k and this is unacceptable.

While in the throws of cleaning out my OBJECTS folder I noticed I had a lot of skins, make-ups, clothing etc that I had never opened. Perhaps, I bought things and forgot they were there or some were groups gifts or blogger copies I forgot to open. Either way, I opened them and thought “hmm, this would make an interesting blogger challenge”.  I tried on everything that I had never opened and put together from those things a look that worked well together.

I offer you this same challenge. Old or new, it does not matter, find things unopened in your OBJECTS folder and make it work.
