My look today is brought to you by Indyra and features one of the newest releases, Madrigal.
I have been pleasantly surprised by Indyra lately. In the past, the products were out of my price range, but since her venture into the mesh world of fashion the outfits have been moving more into my idea of a value purchase. When I can purchase ALL colors of an outfit, for what I used to pay for one dress… well, I’ll do that ANYDAY!

When I went back to Wild Texas Rose to get the slurl for y’all, I stumbled into a saloon. The saloon had a country DJ, and a lot of people line dancing. I’d never really thought about line dancing in SL, but of course it exists! How silly of me! (I admit I’ve only really been to the Aviary and the Velvet. I need to get off my arse more.)
I went to the sim because it was promoted in the destination guide, and because it’s beautiful. It has a little western town on an island surrounded by a river, and beyond that, gorgeous southwestern mesas — yep that’s right, I came for the mesas. They look fabulous in sunset windlights!
I also lured Gidge out to pose for me (that’s right, that ain’t me in that thar photo). This woman wears more half-naked than I wear fully clothed, no joke! Click the cut tag to see more photos of this lovely sim, and to see ALL THE STUFF GIDGE WEARS. 😀
This is my favorite cycle of Collabor88 ever. While celebrating their 2nd anniversary, they are also celebrating the vibrant and daring fashions of the 1920s. While some designers stayed solidly in the era, others brought 1920’s sensibilities and details into 2013. Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy gave us an updated, modern version of the 20s bringing the loose fit, the dropped waist and art deco details on the belt forward with a decidedly modern pair of separates.
Gidge sparked discussion the other day when she asked “Whyfor bloggest thou?” The general consensus is that people blog because they like it. That’s my reason for blogging, too. That’s also the obvious answer. Why would people spend hours on an unpaid hobby if they didn’t like it? However, I thought I might dig a little deeper and ask why I like it. Where are the rewards that make it worthwhile and pleasurable.

I thought I would share my first life fashion blog bookmarks in case anyone wants to check some of them out. Absolute favorites are Fifi Lapin, Paperfashion, Fashion Gone Rogue, PaperMode from TrendLand and the can’t miss Style Section of New York Magazine.
Well, it said if I joined the group I got a free horse. I was probably wrong to presume it would be as nice as the horses other people were riding. But, I was whisked back to 2008 with this beauty.
Also my world became lag hell while riding her, and had to abandon.
I wasn’t really dressed to ride though, actually. So it’s just as well. Continue reading
I promised you more ARCADE GACHA preview and well, here we go. Both Exile and Belleza have news at the ARCADE this round. Belleza has three RARE skins – one for each of the more prominent hair colors – blonde, red or dark brown/black (LOURDES I FEEL CERTAIN THAT THE DARK BROWN BROWS WILL WORK WITH BLACK NO REALLY I DO!)

I’ve been an unabashed fangirl of Milla Michinaga since shortly after I joined Second Life in 2008. She’s lovely, inside and out, and whatever she does is done with grace and consideration. She’s recently decided to shut down her in-world store, MichaMi, and in preparation for this she’s holding a 50% off sale. You’d think that simple, powerful, and elegantly designed pieces wouldn’t work very well with my crazy avatar, but they totally do, because her clothing is well-made enough to lend itself to any style. Go check out her store, and help me give her a proper send-off to hiatus land!
Hair: Lamb – Lost – Obsidian
Skin: Plastik – Astrali skin with body freckles
Eyes: Plastik Vaele Coll – Galaxia – Nala
Jewelry: Lassitude & Ennui Macabre Jewelry in silver and black
Dress: MichaMi de Havilland Duo dress in Graphite
Belleza has a ton of tones and looks in their new skin LEILA out at the Arcade this round and I’m excited to bring you a preview. This is LEILA 6 and she’s COMMON – not rare, but man I love the lipstick.
I always think skin is one of THE BEST gacha pick ups – it’s a SKIN for goodness sakes. That’s like gold especially to a blogger!
Belleza’s rares are designed to fit our various hair colors and I’ll show them to you later but I had to show you this gorgeous pink lipstick! Now I need to go put some on in RL and run off.
Gidge Is Wearing:
Hair: TRUTH – Elain – Light Blonde
Skin: BELLEZA – Leila 6 for the Arcade – Common but beautiful 🙂
Lashes: Ammaci
Eyes: Nomine
Beauty Mark: PXL Creations
Monday nights I DJ at The Velvet. I thought you might enjoy listening to my set on Spotify. This was my outfit I wore for DJing – a dress that I wore as a top and some pants. Â I love the shapes and the edgy, fashion forward design.
The dress is from La Penderie de Nicole and has a very modern look with its exaggerated batwing shoulders. It is aptly names My Bat Dress. It comes with a tartan belt and a tweed belt and is a preview of Marcopol Oh’s coming fall collection. Happily the inside of the skirt is lined so the skirt looks good from all angles. I would like to have seen a similar lining of just a few inches on the sleeves and the top as there are angles where the alpha shows.
School’s begun and mostly I’d like to be at the beach. Luckily it’s almost good beach weather in Florida (not so ridiculously hot), and this is totally achievable, just as soon as I feel better from treatments. Instead, I had a lazy morning staying in from work and headed to Dream Island in SL. Oddly enough it’s listed in the destination guide’s haunted category, but it must’ve had a thematic shift at some point because it was simply a lovely beach. I poked into a few coves, accidentally checked out someone else’s beach bungalo (oops!), and went diving with the orca. I like beach sims that don’t ignore the stuff below water!
I’m wearing a new-to-me designer, Trinite, today. I like the flirtiness of the cropped schoolgirl shirt and skirt, cutely done! More photos of the sim are behind the cut.
