The break is over….

This is my first fashion post in quite some time. I was super excited when IOF invited me to be a part of their blog and I hope I don’t screw it up.
I came to realize last night that being out of the fashion loop even for a few months makes one feel like a total noob when it comes to shopping, especially for someone who wears mostly just undies. It’s true, ask anyone, I’m always in my roos.
Anyways, I browsed my small inventory for things to work off of and I found nothing so I decided it was time to head to the marketplace. I wanted something kind of fancy/edgy/christmas-y. I think I pulled it off. I found most of the pieces except for the hair and skin off the marketplace.

Hybie is wearing:
House Of London – [PO] Sera Military Jacket – black
::TGIS:: Metallic Strip Sheer Top [Black]
Fashionably Dead – Bambi – Red 3 hair
Dilly Dolls – Prim Lashes 01
Ibanez – Rivendell Eyes- Lagoon and Elemental
ISON – high waisted zipper skirt (black)
[Atomic] Grace Skin – Mistletoe (With Love Hunt 2011)
Slink – Astrid Boots – Red Leather

It's Only Fashion Welcomes It's Newest Blogger: Hybie Mynx

It’s been a while since we added any contributors to the blogging family, but earlier today I saw Hybie mention that she might like to fashion blog again but wasn’t sure she’d want to commit to her own blog. Just a musing but I knew it was a great fit for It’s Only Fashion.

So I dropped her a line and said please come play in our sandbox and she said YES and so…

Please welcome our newest blogger, Hybie Mynx.

Can’t wait to see what she adds to the mix! WELCOME ABOARD HYBIE!

Following Your Beliefs

I think it’s important to have beliefs and personal moral tenets by which you live. I for one believe a few basic things.

I believe it’s wrong to treat people badly.
I believe you shouldn’t kill people or steal.
I believe in the value of friendship.
and…more to the point of this post, I do in fact believe it’s wrong to wear real fur.

Now, that being said, man, fur is BEAUTIFUL. It’s beauty doesn’t outweigh the suffering and treatment of the animals who die to give it to us. So pretty much, unless you’re still an indigenous, native, primitive type people, you probably shouldn’t be wearing fur.
I think fake fur, however is awesome. Since it’s made of horrible chemicals it’ll never age, and could absolutely be passed on from generation to generation, like china or crystal. No animal died or suffered to give it to us, and we get the beauty without the cruelty.

In the world of real life, I believe firmly that as a modern person I shouldn’t wear any animal I won’t eat. I eat cow thus I wear leather made from cows. If I eat it, I’d wear it most likely. Chicken might not be so pretty. I digress.

When the ridiculous brouhaha over PIXEL fur popped up the first thing I had to do was BUY it, because, the drama is so silly it hurts me. But, in order not to be a hypocrite I decided to keep to my own rules.

It was really difficult to get this into this pot by the way. It was however, delicious.

Awwwww. I am a messy eater.

Seriously, pixel fur. Love it. Make more.

No fashion details. Just delicious fox.

Dear Grazia,

Happy birthday! May your day be joyful, full of the love and companionship of friends and family, overflowing with laughter and camaraderie this year and for many years to come.

I titled this post with Pliny’s description of the artist Apelles, admiring his steadfast devotion to his art. While it literally translates as “not a day without a line,” it is generally read as “you’ve got to keep at it.” I hope you do. You are the exemplar of the single photo that says it all sort of fashion blogging. Your photos are captivating and beautifully executed. You are a rara avis and I hope you go on, not a day without a line.

Cajsa

Grazia Horwitz: A Fangirl Tribute

It doesn’t matter how many posts you get under your belt (according to WordPress I have 1037), those who were veterans and went before you remain the people you look to from time to time as not only a touchstone, but as a reminder of how to do it.

I met Grazia Horwitz when I mis-creditted a skin once a long time ago when I was a new  blogger.  She feared her friend Hart Larsson had been ripped, recognizing his work, and immediately contacted me.

I was TERRIFIED OMG GRAZIA IS MESSAGING ME AND OMG I MADE A MISTAKE OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

She wasn’t terrifying at all, actually, but I was so scared and embarrassed at the time. Continue reading
