Autumn is Coat Time

I had to wear this coat from NYU – it goes so well with the skirt and top I wore in my last post. It features a Peter Pan collar – so very chic and fun.

The Clawtooth hair goes so well with the Peter Pan look.

Fall Decorating

1 Reply

The first time I ever started getting into home decor seriously it was fall, maybe three years ago. It’s come so far since then. I still have all my pieces, collected excitedly and remember fondly getting to excite to change everything.

The ASHDON living room from Trompe Loeil is my first fall change indoors and it’s cozy & perfect. You get color options plus you can choose pillows or blankets etc for your look. I picked blankets because I know I’ll cover up when the sea air gets cold.

Funny true story, to remind you how far we’ve come. On the table behind my sofa is a decor piece from Lisp from 2-3 years ago. It’s pumpkins that say BOO and has candles. It’s ADORABLE.

It’s also 17 prims.

My new sofa, is 4.

Mesh, we’ve come a long way baby.

Plurk has too many good ideas.

I was tired, cranky and out of sorts, trying to think of a good title for this blog post, I shared this photo on plurk asking for ideas for a post title. They were no help at all, not because they didn’t help, but but because they helped too well.

Really, how can I choose between Sophee Mojo’s elegant and oh-so-autumnal suggestion of the title “Nothing Gold Can Stay” from Robert Frost’s lovely poem.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

But then there’s Tymmerie Thorne reminder of the commercial we have all seen again and again, “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”

or Frequency Picnic’s suggestion of the immortal line from McBain in The Critic:

And that’s not all. What to do? What to do?

Falling In Love Again…With Fashion Week

2 Replies

sept30_004

It’s AVENUE Fall/Winter Fashion Week and the event kicked off with 3 shows yesterday and will continue all week. Check out the calendar here. The fabulous Kungler sisters had their show yesterday. There are some big surprises for long time fans, such as this ultra=metropolitan dress in cream with metal accents. Its shape seems loosely inspired by medieval court jesters with the turned up collar post-modern jester’s collar and the pleated and banded sleeves that are a modern, urbanist reinterpretation of the medieval jester’s sleeves. There’s nothing medieval about this dress, though. It’s as modern as can be.

I added the over-the-knee boots that are still available at Collabor88 for a few days before their release at ISON. I love the buckle above the back of the knee and like how the strap width is similar to the width of the metal straps on the sleeve. These boots come in several colors, each as tasty as this fresh cream.

Saturday Morning Photobomb Cat

Leave a reply

I was ecstatic to the point of ridiculous that Mudhoney released MUMS for Fifty Linden Friday yesterday. If you aren’t from the US – mums are the official herald of fall.  I’ve started my fall decorating, adding the rocker just released from What Next and now the mums. YAY for fall decorating!

My cat, my FIRST cat, Snake Plisskin is so glad to be out of the his Inventory Kennel. He follows me around everywhere and would not let me take a photo without him. He’s a very spoiled pretend cat.

I have such a hectic schedule today though, I have to grab a cup and RUN because both lives are completely booked full. Continue reading →

Wake Me Up When September Ends

I will be happy to see the end of this September. It has been an eventful month, one that seems to be unbalanced by a shortage of good news. It made me think of this Green Day song that suits my mood.

I am a firm believer, though, in the power of dressing to cheer yourself up and this tunic from LouLou&Co for Marquis Market is definitely a cheer yourself up fabric.

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

9 Replies

I accept the fact that I’m more than a bit of a Second Life PRUDE. That’s ok. It’s my Second Life and I can be who I want. I respect the fact that you too can be whatever you want. But, I think that when our fantasy existences cross one another, a certain amount of decorum, and well – manners, should be expected.

Case in point.

I got dressed – as pictured, and ventured out because a good friend had new releases that were not to be missed. I actually had several stops on my shopping list, but this first one was a much anticipated release -a must have. Continue reading →

Cajsa Fast Five: September 26th

Leave a reply

Fast FiveIt’s been some time since my last Fast Five. I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. Not that I have so much more to do, but the same work feels like more when I am not feeling my best. However, I have antibiotics now and should soon be firing on all cylinders again.

  • Today – Sydd Sinister’s Today post is from September 11th, which goes to show how far behind I am. Normally I would not pull up a post from so long ago, but this is just too good to miss. The styling is so perfect I thought all the pieces were from one outfit, but no! She pulled them together. It’s a stunner and kind of awe-inspiring.
  • Second Life’s Strange Second Life – The Verge has an article featuring Second Life that is not totally condescending, horrible and probably will not make you want to throw bricks at their office building. For example, the author writes “There’s no such thing as an average Second Lifer…” True and rarely seen in non-SL media.  Continue reading →
