When I unpacked the gorgeous vintage-styled Vale dress from Donna Flora, I knew I wanted to style myself completely in black and white. A noir avatar in a pixel world. The effect was a fun combination of chic and shriek that had me heading to Silent’s haunted house for some pictures. The dress is a classic fitted bodice with a tulip skirt. Its most vintage elements come from the bolero jacket with the wide rounded lapels and the puffed shoulders. The floral corsage pin adds a bit more retro styling.

Treats upon treats
I adore this set of eyeball jewelry from Schadenfreude. I’m showing the hair bow and necklace, and there’s also a set of earrings and bracelets. The dress is one of the new 49L mesh Halloween dresses from Plastik — there are a ton of cheap things to choose from at Plastik this holiday, and it’s worth a look!

Adore & Abhor
I always get a kick out of Adore & Abhor’s store name. It’s a clever euphonious riff on Love & Hate using assonance to make our ears smile. I am excited to see that Adore & Abhor are moving into mesh creation with this dress named Svelte, their first mesh dress that they developed for Cinema! the extravagant fashion showcase. The deep red with the contrasting darts is graphically bold and the cutaway bodice is sexy while holding everything in place.
LOTD
Everyone and their mother has been blogging this hair since Zodiac opened with a new collection yesterday and for good reason…Alice did a fantastic job on it and it’s my favorite hair she has ever made.
I finally made it to Fameshed yesterday and went crazy with all the fabulous mesh goodies there. Got myself this cute everyday outfit from Emery. (to be honest I didn’t know they were still around)
Paired the outfit with a pair of simple neon green pumps to add a pop of color and give it an 80s feel.

Zodiac – Scorpio
Zodiac is open, with lots of goodies for everyone (not just the Scorpio folks)!
This is a really great round with a variety of styles. I am in love with the two pairs of shoes I bought – the Ingenue pumps with their swirly Scorpio design, and the Decoy ankle boots are both amazing. Pink Outfitters offers a cute strapless top with a peplum bottom, which I’ve “toughened” a little with leather pants and the Decoy boots. Bilo has a great sweater dress, which I really like with heavy tights and the Ingenue pumps. Last but not least, Alice Project has released the Steph hair in two versions – with retro bangs or without.
Catch a ride to Zodiac and check out the event for yourself!

A Cathedral of Light
Throughout history, cathedrals were designed to inspire awe and wonder through the power of light streaming in through windows – whether stained glass story windows or as at Memento Mori, through the flood of unfiltered sunlight. Any visitor to ChouChou’s Memento Mori will experience that sense of awe and wonder that lent such power to the medieval church. When I put on this stunning waterfall of a gown from Azul, I knew that I wanted to shoot it on the cascading stairs at Memento Mori in a bath of sunlight.
