Bring On Christmas

Christmas Begins_001

I confess. I’m ready. The events are exploding and there is so much excitement in the air about everything that is new and amazing for the holidays this year.

I love everything about the holidays on the grid, and even on my borrowed square I’m doing a little bit of sprucing up for the happy time. Continue reading

Make Mine a Latte

Dec01_003

You can get some fabulous wardrobe basics for just 10 L at DCNY for the With Love Hunt. This ruffled top is packaged with four colors – black, grey, taupe and tan – and comes with ruffled cap sleeves that I removed to wear with the jacket from Hucci. The jacket has classic styling and was offered at Collabor88 earlier this year. The skirt is out now at faMESHEd and is from NYU. It comes in several bold colors.

I love coffee and I especially love a super-strong espresso latte. I used to live right across from Grand Central Bakery where they made amazing pastries and fabulous lattes. However, their latte expertise was highly developed for me. Whenever I ordered a latte, their barista would ask, “Dry or wet?” and I would stand there confused by my banal assumption that a latte would by definition be wet. It turns out that there is a difference. A wet latte has more steamed milk than foam while a dry latter has more foam than steamed milk. Funny thing, though, I cannot really taste the difference.

If only mesh existed IRL

elfy

While I stood around this morning hitting the “teleport” button for the Arcade, I put on Katat0nik’s Bowie dress. It’s so very pretty! I do love how it’s amazingly hard to break the line of mesh. The only poses that made the skirt distort were ones that basically did the splits. Hope you enjoy your first weekend of December! And nope, I haven’t gotten into the Arcade yet…

The Best Color in the World

Snapshot_005

“The best color in the whole world is one that looks good on you.”
Coco Chanel

I thought of that quote when I saw the wonderfully rich, saturated colors in the new leggings from MichaMi, because I think all of them would look good on me. Alas and alack, I had to choose and opted for this rich brick red, one of my favorite colors.  She made the leggings to coordinate with a colorful print top that she also produced in a range of colors that show her mastery of putting color together.

Projecting like a fiend!

Playing with projectors

Miss Cajsa was kind enough to talk me through using her Status Dual Projector Box 1.0, and indeed, using projectors is fun! The basic box comes with a few very easy-to-blog-with poses, and editing the texture into the light is very easy. I’m still fiddling with my day setting (I think I used one that washed me out a bit here), but it’s nothing but fun!

More about my outfit and photos behind the cut.

Where the ice flows

My favorite time of year at Balderdash

Once again my avatar is having a much better November than I’ve had, but I took a nice long break from reality tonight and spent time dressing for the season. I headed straight to Saiyge Lotus’s sim and was happily unsurprised to find it covered in ice. Yay! The only thing new about my outfit are the amazing boots from Schadenfreude. The great vest is no longer 50L, but it’s from So Many Styles, and I’ve layered it over a lovely vest in a similar color from ~silentsparrow~. I hope you all have a lovely beginning of Yule!

The Little Details

nov29_008

Yves Saint-Laurent once said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” The Ingenue pencil skirt I am wearing is a testament to that truth. Introduced by Christian Dior in the 1940s, the pencil skirt is over seventy years old. The details, though, are what make this pencil skirt serve both fashion and style. The row of small round buttons up the banded high waist are the kind of details you look for when you want something fashionable and eternal.

Speaking of details, the top I am wearing comes from a dress released by Les Petits Details for the With Love Hunt that opens tomorrow.  The French Dress from LPD has a short mini-skirt and a fabric bow, but I was in the mood for something longer and sleeker.
