Dear Sachi I Was Wrong

2 Replies

It’s LOVE-LOVE.

Adam N Eve have a new skin that will be released very soon and I’ve had it on for three days. Sachi asked me to try it on just to see what I thought of it, and I liked it a lot at first. She said “but not love-love eh?” And I floundered. I couldn’t decided.

I was wrong. I’ve had this skin on three days. I’m a skin chameleon excitedly changing from one to the next. This skin is so gorgeous and feels so comfortable on Gidge, I’ve left it on outfit after outfit.

I simply cannot wait till she releases it. And if you are on Sachi’s TL on plurk, you know it has really nice boobies too.

So put aside your lindens girls, there is a gorgeous new skin coming your way soooooon. Continue reading →

An Investment Dress

Leave a reply

sep25_004

The Shimmy Dress from ICING is one of those wardrobe foundations that you can build a wardrobe around. It has all the hallmarks of an investment dress – a classic silhouette that is never out of style, multiple layer options to coordinate with other clothing, colors that work in every season, and quality construction that is deceptively simple. These are qualities that make a dress take on a different mood as its styled with different accessories.

This is the dress for the quick change artist in you. In this post I will show you how easy it is to take a good investment dress and make several looks from high fashion to funky bohemian to vintage classic, all with a few accessory changes. Don’t for a second think this was all, either. I had several other possibilities in mind, but thought five was more than enough to make the case for this investment dress.  There are many investment pieces out there. While not making it an official “challenge” I would love to see what ideas you have for investment purchases that build a versatile wardrobe.

Fun With GOS Boots or HOW THE SHOE POLISH WORKS

1 Reply

One of the things I’ve learned in four years, is that you can never be sure that everyone GETS everything. I’ve been asked a couple of times recently if I knew how the boot polishes at GOS worked, so I figured HEY BLOG POST.

Cuz I have a blog.

So first off, take yourself to GOS and buy yourself some boots or shoes that have the boot polish system available. For my example I’m going to use the 8 hole DOCS.

They look like this, only smaller. Continue reading →

Smell that pumpkinny air…

I love Autumn, and I’m so glad it’s here.  In real life it remains a perfect 90f outside… In SL I can pile on the scarves and long sleeves and pretend it’s cold.  I’m wearing a few new things to celebrate the season.  This skin is new from Plastik, the Aleria line.  So pretty, especially this blushing makeup, and an amazing number of boob options too (thanks, Aikea!).  The tattoo isn’t new from Lolapop, but it’s newly on a tattoo layer! (Thanks, Lola!)  And the shoes are cute and perfect and new from G*Field.  I’m so happy that Antonia Marat loves Autumn too — her set for this past FLF was outstanding.  More photos of me sniffing the pretend Autumnal air (and credits) behind this cut.

Fiore

Fiore is one of the limited color dresses that Mami Jewell from AZUL released last August and that will be on sale till the end of September.
Fiore is a gorgeous, romantic, delicate, black flower. Fiore – infact – is Italian for “flower”.
When you move or walk, it opens its petals made of tulle, suavely caressing your figure, softly embracing you, dancing its beautiful dance and you’re part of it…..

Fiore

The end of the month is near, so you better hurry up if you want to get this amazing dress.

IOF PSA: Marketing 201 for Creators

7 Replies

So your store is up and running. We can find your store from search and from your profile. Now it’s time to get the word out.

In-World Marketing Groups: I am a group-a-phobe and have no real expertise on in-world groups for marketing, but that’s okay. Harper Beresford is. She did a great summary on in-world groups for the Fashion Forum at Second Life Community Forums. Store owners should join marketing groups that connect designers with customers, but remember to be considerate and follow the posting guidelines for the group. Sasy points out that not all of these groups are for marketing, some are for advice and chat. MenStuff and WomenStuff are two from her list that are for marketing. There’s also What’s New SL and Fashion Consolidated or FashCon. Please post more suggestions in the comments.

IOF PSA: Marketing 101 for Creators

Kevin Costner has a lot to answer for. I know that “If you build it, they will come.” sounds lovely and all, but if you build it, they won’t come unless you tell them what you built and where to find it.

Who you are, what you built and where to find it – the essentials of marketing in Second Life. That’s not hard, but sadly many creators spend so much time and energy on their creations, they forget to market them.  I am writing this from the shoppers’ perspective and know that you may have other ideas. I am telling you how I look for and find stores and what I think is critical to making it easy for me.

My favorite outfit from the sYs collection for Modavia Fashion Week is this one called Stardust. I guess I felt the Stardust would feel at home in the swamp since that’s where I decided to shoot. The outfit has an aged and distressed look with the shredded sweater that seemed to call for a more noir setting.
