If You Go Out In The Woods Tonight….

posted by Gidge Uriza

It seemed like a simple enough plan, I’d go out into the woods and shoot this gorgeous gown from L & S- aptly named Brigette – Dainty which you know tickled me.  Of course a girl by herself should be careful in the woods.

After all you never know what matter of demon or beast you’re going to run into, now do you? Continue reading

Addictive Blossoms

Have you been to Digit Darkes‘ new build at Addictive? I first heard her talk about her plans at a taping of Fabulous Fashion TV and have been eagerly waiting for it ever since.  It’s a black and white sim build with lots of little hidden pleasures like a downed plane in a ravine – a fashionista’s downed plane going by the amount of makeup in the wreckage.  I was so excited to see the build that I didn’t think that the best manners would be to shoot my first outfit there with one of the Digit Darkes dresses I picked up while exploring. Instead, I shot what I was wearing and am going to show it to you anyway because it’s so delightful and very well made – the intrepidly short Tender Blossoms cheongsam from Musashi-Do.

Nonpareil

Generally speaking, most clubbing dresses are in blacks or jewel tones – which made this white dress from Redgrave a real pleasure to find.  I find that I love the Redgrave store for very different reasons than most people who are addicted to the skins. I, on the other hand, love the clothes, shoes and jewelry at Redgrave. Whether it’s the iconic Biker Boots or sexy little clubbing dresses like this one, there’s a authenticity of detail that draws me in. And…Redgrave knows how to make an avatar look sexy.

A Lazy Sunday on the Beach

posted by Gidge Uriza

After spending a very cold Saturday in the RL Mountains, I decided I wanted pixel sun and sand on Sunday, so I grabbed my fishin’ pole and headed to Exodi to do a little relaxing fishing.

I gotta go back cuz I didn’t get the whole outfit.

But I digress.

I’ve got this huge closet full of Magi Take clothes because their prices are just so crazy low and their stuffs are cute. So I pulled out a casual sweater and cords and relaxed on Ryker Beck’s island paradise. Continue reading

SLurls Directory Update

slurls

I have gotten very busy and have not been able to spend the time I would like to spend on keeping the Fashion Slurls Directory up to date and to keep it functioning as the rich community resource it should be. Happily, I found someone who is willing to step up and take over the SLurls Directory who I know will keep it the open, user-friendly and free community resource it has always been: Stacie Pryor of Sheek, the fashion blog.

Remember, just post a comment to add your store to the directory. If you want to volunteer with the work of building mini-directories of animations, skins, etc. please volunteer here.

Gotta-Have-It Hair

I am in love with the Jenna hair from Exile released last weekend. If you can only buy one hair style, this should be it. It’s sexy, new and fresh. It’s superb for photos but not so outre that you cannot wear it running around. As Lil C might say, “It’s buck!”

Hair this hawt needs a a dress that is equally hot and the K.I.T. Rue Cambon dress from Mimikri answers the challenge. It’s a gorgeous black and white tweed with echoes of Chanel chic in the cut and form, but with some of the signature Mimikri boldness with the oversize tweed pattern. It’s design genius that flatters your shape up one side and down the other. Put it together with the bedroomy hair over the shoulder and it’s flaming hot.

Something Old and Something New:Free Speerit and DLizzy

posted by Gidge Uriza

If you are an old enough avatar, you remember that one day Desidelia at Free Speerit decided she wanted to get rid of all the hair at her store and BOOM it was all free. Just like that.

If you were a new fashion blogger at the time, it was like Christmas. Continue reading

Quick Look: DeLa

Sorry for not posting yesterday and posting so late today. I have been super busy IRL – catching up after three weeks of illness from H1N1 and trying to get things done by deadlines. I am still slammed and just tossing this up quickly. It’s a great dress from DeLa that features a pouf skirt with a contrasting pouf underskirt. I love the style of the dress, it’s shape and details. There’s one thing that might improve it…but only at the cost of an attachment point and I know how we all love our attachment points. I just thinknk it would be fun to have the underskirt pouf a separate item so if I bought two or three or four or more of these dresses, I could mix colors on my own. That would be fun! But saving attachment points has its value too and the color in the provided skirt is the optimum color choice. …It’s a darling skirt and fun and great for dancing.

Unseasonably Warm

Since you only get the weather you want in SL, it’s warm and sunny and perfect for a little dress like this – one I forgot I had and discovered while cleaning out my inventory for the Yard Sale.  I love the colors in the print and the briefer than usual band of print on the bodice. It’s a cute little dress, fun and lively.

Mobile Home Princess

Yes she’s a Trailer Park Woman

She’s a Mobile Home Princess

She’s the QUEEN OF MANUFACTURED HOUSING!

I was doing another mishmash when I got inspired to make a Halloween Costume out of my inventory – to put beautiful things together in a way that no creator ever intended – just to rock some trailer park style.

 Seriously, you know I just spent the night at a club partying with random guys and doing snakebites. 

Luckily I’ve got this comfy bedroom situated right off the kitchen – built in furniture FTW!

Ok, I might be daffy with giddyness at being back. But I was having way too much fun shooting this – and being silly.

And – I think Kavar may have created my favorite JBF hair ever, whether he meant to or not.

Let’s Party!
