Babydoll No More

apr19_003

I love many things about this dress from bubble that’s on sale at the Chic Limited Cherry Blossoms event, though it began as a babydoll before I lowered the skirt to my waist. I am never a big fan of babydoll dresses and often try that, but it doesn’t always work as well as it did with this dress. As you can see, this dress comes with a band that anchors the skirt so just increasing its size a bit made it look very natural at the natural waist. This lets me really enjoy the wonderful sense of playfulness in the dress design. I love how the fabric choices almost suggest a wall treatment with the more subdued black on black pattern meeting the vertical stripe pattern “wainscoting” and the cherry blossom border print “chair rail.” It’s cute and clever and makes a gorgeous dress.

Fabulous Is Fabulous

apr16_004
There’s three ways of looking at the coincidence that both Gidge and I chose the same clothing from Betty Doyle’s Ingenue to blog at the same time. One is that we’re boring and predictable bloggers. The second is that great minds think alike. The third is that Fabulous Is Fabulous and who can resist fabulous. Ingenue has produced high quality clothing as long as I have been in Second Life. In the beginning, Doyle focused on the niche vintage market, but her work over the last year has moved firmly into contemporary sportswear and separates that are flagrantly feminine. Take the top and skirt in this outfit. They were released about a month apart but there is such a cohesive vision behind the collection that Gidge and I both thought to combine them, though in different colors. That cohesive visions also makes the colors suitable for mixing and matching with just about everything.

Such springlike romanticism made me think of springs and fairies and unicorns and other delights so I headed off to the Unicorn Sanctuary. I know it looks like it’s nothing but sunshine, gentle dew and rainbows, but explore around some and you will see that Enchanted is a very spooky place in parts.

White – Week 21

Still playing catch-up… but I’ll get there… eventually.  So, next on my list is white… Week 21 in the 52 Weeks of Color bloggers challenge.  And I did a little white search in my inventory and found something I had never worn before… not because I didn’t like it… but because I rarely get this dressed up. It was a group gift from PurpleMoon Creations, a favorite of mine.

It all matches her engagement ring

The British royal family is the only one in the world where Cinderella stories still happen. I guess it comes from having eligible princes, right?  I think I’ve been wondering who Wills would marry since he was born, simply because the girl of his choice would become a princess on the level of any Disney movie heroine.  The prerequisites for princess in a Disney movie are: beautiful and kind-hearted.  Nowadays, the prerequisites are MUCH tougher.  Lucky for all of us, Kate seems to show the sort of media savvy and practical hard-workingness that makes her eligible for the job.  We’ve seen her flip pancakes while wearing pumps.  She’s hired.

Two more photos and the slurl behind the cut!

Get Your Kicks On Route Sixty-Six

apr15_007

I headed off to the Mother Road for this shoot. The outfit is more contemporary than the vintage aesthetic of The Mother Road, but the colors made me think of that time period, so I went with it.

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge

apr13_007
I thought I would walk around Old New York and Staten Island sims and even take a little hike across the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of those bridges that capture people’s hearts and imaginations. Its stunning sweep and the visual delicacy of its suspension wires makes it a work of art. My outfit for the day is perfect for a jaunt around the City with a gorgeous tweed jacket that can be removed if the weather warms up.
