Roan Island

oct11_007

This is a shoot I made for Jewelry Fair that I have just not been well enough to post until today. However, though the Fair is over, the wonderful jewelry is still available. The dress is a lovely summery sundress from UmeMode. It definitely wanted to be shot in a field of flowers so I went to Roan Island.

Roan Island is a wonderful place to wander around and explore and there all sorts of flowers. Neither scripts nor rezzing are permitted, so pose huds and stands were not allowed. However, that’s no problem when my AO works so well.

Wishing Well

oct02_020.jpg

How appropriate that this photo shoot was done at the Wishing Well at the Looking Glass sim, because I am full of wishes right now. At least half center on getting rid of this stupid cold that is kicking my ass. Until that wish is granted I expect my blogging to be a bit erratic as I have not been well enough to be in-world and shoot photos. Luckily I had these photos waiting for when I felt well enough to blog without whining too much. Anyway, it’s just a cold and it will get better – soon or later, but until then, wish me well.

Have you noticed that I am very fond of the Looking Glass? There are so many little gems there to enjoy. Even if you don’t want to shoot pictures, you should go for the sheer pleasure. By the way, I should take this opportunity to urge you all to tip sim owners when you love their sims. Think of the wonderful sims that give us all so much pleasure to explore and add such beauty and interest to our SL lives. Many of them are non-commercial and really are labors of love and generosity. Contributing a small tip when you visit will help offset the cost – though only in part – but also show the sim owner that you value their work. Usually there’s a tip jar somewhere around the entrance, but if not you can inspect an object to find the owner as well.

Lunamaruna

oct10_026

When I saw this lovely argyle print dress from Chantkare, I immediately thought of the argyle-lined jacket from Royal Blue. They really work perfectly together. You can find them both at Call For Couture which is raising funds for The Samaritans.

I shot the pictures at Lunamaruna – a little city that makes me think of Dr. Seuss. It’s great fun and worth a visit.

NOT Mea Culpa. YET Mea Culpa. Discuss.

posted by Gidge Uriza

I told my friend Ersatz that ever since I got the Onebae hair from Miamai I’d been searching for something MORE ERSATZ and LESS GIDGE to wear with it, because hair that extraordinary needed something special.

And then Cajsa took my shopping at Mea Culpa for my birthday.

Ummmmm. WOW I’m addicted. And will now need a sugar daddy. I’ll set up an online application.  Shhhh don’t tell my hubby. Kidding, he reads this blog. HI HUNNY! Continue reading

So I Went to Pteron

oct10_006

I love this new bodysuit from House of Hucci with its gorgeous dropped sleeves – something you can find at the Call For Couture event that is raising funds for The Samaritans. Although they have been planning this for a long time, the recent spate of suicides has made the event more timely than they could have imagined. Because the SL fashion world is always busy with events and charitable activities, the Jewelry Fair is also busy raising funds for Oxfam International. Doing good by looking good! That’s should be Second Life fashion’s motto.

Pteron has many different places to visit when you go there, but I was captivated by this stairway that would probably give me an anxiety attack in real life. For the shoot, I used Codie’s fabulous windlight settings that are included in many of the alternate viewers. This is Rouge 4 and has such a dramatic feeling that it seemed perfect for that tense balancing act on the stairs and the ominous setting of this fortress.

Cecilia

oct02_016.jpg

Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home

oct02_010.jpg

The heartless Cecelia of Simon & Garfunkel’s lyrics could get away with running off with other men because she was so fascinating. If she were wearing the Cecilia gown from Azul, that would not hurt either. In this photo, I ran off to the Old Abbey at The Looking Glass – a gorgeous sim from Marcus Inkpen that is a delight to explore.

Jewelry Fair Faves: Violator

LeLookHoH_009

If you’re looking for a hot, sexy, edgy look, you should head right over to the Violator booth at the Jewelry Fair where Soraya Vaher has conjured up some gorgeous jewelry and accessories for the Fair. For this outfit, I chose the fabulous The Punk, The Ruff and the Beast collection of earrings, neckpiece and bracelet as well as the hat from The Dark Note set.

LeLookHoH_005

They are perfect accessories for the gorgeous House of Hucci exclusive for LeLook. The bold red, white and black is dramatic. The lines of sequins remind me of the earring design. It’s a dress that demands jewelry that is out of the ordinary and that’s the only kind of jewelry you can find at Violator.

Jewelry Fair Faves: Bliensen & MaiTai

oct08_001

One of my favorite sets from the Jewelry Fair is the wonderful mosaic set from Bliensen & MaiTai. Coming in 10 gorgeous options, they are irresistible. I wanted something nice and classic to show them off and wore this top from MAiiKI and a pencil skirt from MichaMi.

Jewelry Fair Favorites: Kunglers

oct07_003

I have been sort of disconnected lately what with so many First Life distractions, that the first I realized that Jewelry Fair was on its way was when I received the new releases from Kunglers Extra. And wow oh wow oh wow! I loved the Orquidea sets they made earlier but they outdid themselves with the new colors including this fabulous gold set that is a perfect addition to wear with the gorgeous Dana dress from Baiastice’s Fall Collection.

Caer and Caroline's

posted by Gidge Uriza

The beautiful Kennedy pearls by Caroline’s Jewelry were a perfect compliment to this classic styled lingerie set from Luxuria, the latest release from the Lingerie Store of 5th & Oxford.

Once again it’s a gorgeous, luxuriously textured release in beautiful muted colors. I simply couldn’t pick a favorite so I wore them all.

The pearls are available in white, black or pink and there are also earrings but you can’t see them bcse of my hair!

I should finish getting dressed now……..
