Outfitting a Nursery

1 Reply

The furniture that’s scripted to go with your Zooby baby is cute, and lots of fun for doing the “playing with my baby” kind of thing. But since I mostly don’t do that, and I just wanted to make a room to be “hers” in my new house and not have to stick her visiting Auntie Inventory, I’ve been hunting for lower land impact options.

I can still drag out the official scripted furniture for fun but this works better for me day to day.

WHY?

Because it’s ONE LAND IMPACT.

Seriously, how cute is that crib for one land impact?

I picked it up on MP for 50L and it’s worth every penny. No – not scripted, but I just put her in there and tell her to sleep and she’s set until I want to get her up.  If you need scripting for your RP or whatever then, probably not for you. But I think it’s cool as heck.

You can grab it HERE on MP.

Spending My Sunday in a 2 Linden Dress

Everyone once in a while I like to flit about to the scarier part of Marketplace. I usually don’t know what I’m looking for, just that when I see it it will be mine. I’m speaking of the nearly free section. Continue reading →

New To Me

OZI_006

Another designer from AVENUE Fall/Winter Fashion Week who was new to me is Ngozi Faith of OZI. She presented a small mini-collection that featured black and white pieces of deceptive simplicity. Her aesthetic is distinctly minimalist, but with a passion for deconstructing. Take this Origami crop top in black. It’s a simple tee with segmented sleeves that make it so much more interesting, but in a simple, clean way – without embellishment. In fact, she achieves by taking away, what most achieve by adding. A neat trick. I have already styled this top in three different outfits – over a lace bodysuit, with a leather pencil skirt and with the eye-catching Curve skirt that she presented it with at Fashion Week.

Autumn

I went to the Zanze show at AVENUE Fall/Winter Fashion Week and fell in love. I had heard of the designer Zzoiezee, but as the owner of Zenshi, the zen-centric residential and commercial complex and the big club Zenzibar. I had no idea she was a designer as well. That’s the big benefit of Fashion Week, discovering new designers that really speak to your own aesthetic and she does. I will show you more in the coming days, but first I had to share this lush gown with ruffled tiers of autumn leaves. It’s just perfect.

Autumn leaves under frozen souls,
Hungry hands turning soft and old,
My hero cried as we stood out there in the cold,
Like these autumn leaves I don’t have nothing to hold.

Zzoiezee resists the impulse to embellish and knows that extravagance in one place must be balanced by discipline elsewhere, so the bodice is pure simplicity, making way for the exuberant tiers of rich, vibrant autumn color. This can be worn with or without shoes as she provides two alpha options. I chose to wear the lovely python shoes from Kunglers in a deep red.

Strictly Legal

It’s near the end of Fashion Week and my fashion hunger has been well-fed. I spent the afternoon enjoying the Legal Insanity show that featured men’s and women’s clothing that formed a cohesive collection, not just because of rich autumnal colors and frequent use of pinstripes and plaids, but no matter what the color, fabric or print, each piece captures a duality of the modern and traditional – nearly always a modern form executed in traditional fabrics.  I cannot wait to show you more.

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.

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?
