I love the new Sweet Sheer top from The Secret Store for faMESHed. It’s perfect for mixing and matching with pants and skirts with its beautifully tucked-in waist. It comes in a nice range of colors for all sorts of different looks. I chose this mustard top for a more fall ensemble with the madras plaid skirt from coldLogic.
Browsing through my contacts on Flickr the other day, I saw a batch of vendor ads from Countdown. They were so stunning, I didn’t just make a note to go check it out, but instead logged in right and snapped up a few of the dresses. Countdown is not new, but it is new to me and that makes me ask, “Countdown, where have you been all my SLife?”
Could there be designs more suited to draw me in? Look at the classic lines combined with the modern details like the sheer chevrons that embrace the belt and highlight the waist. The sheer elements at the neckline and waist flirt with sensuality, but never stray close to the line.
(Note to Designers: This is why you put vendor ads on Flickr.)
I couldn’t decide who I was today in SL. What is brilliant is, I don’t have to. New slacks and a sweater from Baiastice and gorgeous new shoes from Miamai. Really. Perfect day.

The ombre top from Emery for faMESHed is so gorgeous I didn’t even mind showing a bit of tummy.
A friend of mine had a crisis in confidence this weekend. It surprised me because she is one of the most amazing people in the world. She’s the woman who can “bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan and never let you forget you’re a man” of old songs that celebrate female power and confidence. Yet, careless words negated all her accomplishments, her skills, her successes, her loving friends and filled her with a feeling of inadequacy. How is it that someone so good could ever feel insecure?
But insecurity strikes us all. Myself, whenever someone writes a criticism of “bloggers” without naming names, I am certain that it is about me. Boring, just like everyone else, dull, they are all words I have internalized. I know very well that I am not nearly so imaginative and creative as some of the SL photographers that inspire me. I envy their abilities and most of all their creativity.
I love the new Angelique dress from Vogue with its shiny sheer layers of ruffles over a print mini that snugly covers all the necessary bits. Adding a flourish of the sheer fabric along the top and over the shoulder adds to the festive feeling it evokes. I added new earrings and rings from Donna Flora called Pigalle. She release a necklace as well, but it would be lost in the extravagant neckline of this dress. The Pigalle sets come in white, coral and onyx.
Brain fuzzy, back to sleep and recovery. Have some photos of a pretty dress! Love from chemo land. <3 Acha

I love the contrast between the bold colored stripes on the sleeves with the solid black dress.
It’s typical, that life hands me something awesome and then gives me not awesome along side it. I’m not sure if that’s karma I’m burning off of simply the run of things but just as soon as I’m ecstatic about a temp spot to live and shoot pics, all my pics today show up with more grid lines than ever in them.
See how I cropped that vertical one above? I’m pretending it’s intentional. Go with it. Continue reading
