Party All Night Long

Leave a reply

I wore this Friday night – the evening of Bandana Day and dutifully wore it with a bandana even though I went to the grand opening party of the new Naive store. I really enjoyed the dance which was dj’ed by Summer Deadlight who worked the playlist with humorous little sets of songs that kept the party mood light, happy and a bit antic. I thought it might be declasse to wear something by someone else to the Naive party, but then realized that of course it was not. So I wore this love party dress from Modern Gypsy. He’s just released a new collection, though when I ran over to check it out, what’s the first thing that caught my eye? This little number from his last collection.  Oh well, I don’t mind being trailing edge fashion when it looks this hot and is this perfect for a dance party. Continue reading →

Red and Green are NOT Always for Christmas!

Sometimes I think designers name their stores more aptly than they realize, as I can’t imagine doing anything in these pants than SLINK. Smooth sexy textures that grip the curves and just hint that they might slide down – they rest perfectly on the hips of my pixel frame.

Jewelry is from the Amazing Collection at Balderdash

The top is also a creation at SLINK and while these dressy pants might beg something more over the top, I personally felt like the tee was a great match – especially pairing it with Truth’s Sehra hair. Continue reading →

It’s about time I show you the other dress I used when snapping all the Hair Fair pictures. This again has a simple neckline and does nothing to distract from framing the hair beautifully. From Pixel Dolls, it’s called Cashmere and definitely projects that soft and sensuous fabric.

Zoe: Collaboration

I love it when Second Life designers decide to work on something together. It’s a testament to the openness of SL Fashion Community and to the freindships and connections people make though Second Life and through their mutual love of fashion. In this case, Leah McCullough of Naive and Mouse Mimistrobell of Dark Mouse produced completementary dresses and jewelry.

I can’t seem to think very well this morning and do want to show you the enormous amount of fun I had deconstructing and playing with a little red dress I picked up at Crimson Shadow. I took a little bit from Naive and Digit Darkes and just had some fun…and put them together and what did I get?

Put ’em together and what have you got

Here the top from Naive's Mooney dress erases every bit of Gothiness. A belt from Artilleri united them.

Now, toss in Digit Darkes tulle skirt while keeping the short Elise skirt as an overskirt/ruffle and get some real elegance. The DD tulle skirt should be in every wardrobe as it seems to go with anything.

Bloganista at Home: Gardening!

We own a bizarre parcel of mainland, bizarre because we bought it piecemeal for the prims and therefore we don’t have a nice big chunk but rather have a chunk plus a swath.

Lately, though, I’ve been expanding my dwelling area to include the swaths – as “vacation” land – outside our regular estate area.  When I received a garden kit from MishMash I decided it was a perfect addition to the little rustic area I’ve been putting together next to my river.

Sigh, gardening? Really? I mean, it’s so DIRTY! And you get SWEATY! AH-HA – not with this lovely point and click set from Mishmash. You just CLICK to choose your crop and voila – they grow! Continue reading →

The Best Damn Pants

1 Reply

Wow! I have found the best damn pants and it was such a surprise, too. I was at Studio Sidhe to pick up that arch pose I used for the photo at the Chinese Garden and thought I would wander over to see if she had some new jewelry and turned a corner and came face to face with these amazing pants – linen pants, but linen pants that look like linen…and have the linen lines and nubbiness at the right scale. They are extraordinarily well done and if you need to see more closely click the photo for a larger size picture where you can clearly see the texture. I kid you not. The best damn pants.

B-Girls

No, we’re not going to start popping and locking and dancing hip hop. The B is in reference to Blowpop and Baiastice – two of our fashion addictions. Both Gidge and I are wearing blowpop skins and then new Group gift from Baiastice – a gold, silver and white short cocktail dress that we each mashed up in different directions.

It's E! For Excellent

This photo is from one of my favorite places in Portland, the wonderful Chinese Garden in Old Town. It’s only a city block, but it takes you out of the city. It reminds me of a sim in its discrete containment of such rich beauty in the heart of one of Portland’s grittier neighborhoods. For my visit, I wore some fab items from E! – the exclamation point is theirs but they deserve it.
