If you want to feel like a star you could initiate massive hydrogen fission and combust, burning at temperatures beyond my imagination, but measurable in Kelvins. Or you could run over to Evie’s Closet and pick up the wonderful Love Story gown. Believe me, the second option is much better for your complexion.
Yummy! That’s what popped into my head when I saw this fabulous jacket which is part of a fabulously beautiful outfit with a rich cream skirt. A stunning outfit but I wanted to mix it up a bit and make it more casual what with this being I ♥ Evie’s Closet week and all. So I went for this fab cotton skirt from A la Folie and some rad shoes.

Turns out I was supposed to fall down this hole into the FEED YOUR HEAD Alice in Wonderland Themed shopping area! But, me being me and trying to do many things at once, I shimmied into this complete Alice Avatar set that Averie from Hourglass Shapes sent me, and decided to run a couple of errands – one being picking up some hair I needed for another shoot.
So I say “Self, here is the landmark, pop over to that place and get that hair.”
WRONG PLACE!!! Continue reading
This week you have seen how Evie’s Closet dresses can make you feel like a Princess and a Jazz Queen. Today, however, I am featuring a dress that will make you have visions of empire. Yes, this is a dress for the doyenne of dominions in every hemisphere. Queen Victoria, Empress Theodora, Maria-Theresa, these are the rulers worthy of this regal power and elegance. Just look at that skirt – it’s made for sweeping up tiny countries.
I wore this outfit on Sunday – to lounge about The Velvet whilst listening to Maht’s set. It’s comfy casual, as you can see, though I suppose I should look into getting new leggings. Those look a bit worn.

Ok so I gotta get some formal wear shot because I am looking like a girl who only wears jeans suddenly.
🙂
So here is what is up. I’ve been practicing shooting and putting the shots up over at Freestyle – trying stuff out and hearing all about it when I fail but learning nonetheless. So then in my next experiment, I took all the stuff Miffy had given me from her new releases and shot it all in one night. Continue reading
Now who wants to be Princes of QuiteALot when you could be Queen of Everything? Well, maybe not everything, but this dress from Evie’s Closet is one that makes me feel like a Jazz Queen. Maybe the Queen of Sweden who comes to Minnie the Moocher’s Wedding Day? Wait, that was the King of Sweden, wasn’t it If so, well that makes the song much more “political” as he was rumored to be Joe Hill’s father. But that’s too stream of consciousness for fashion blogging. Focus! So let’s focus on the lovely Octavia dress from Evie’s Closet. It’s got a gorgeous Greco-Roman style that would make it at home in the Senate or the Agora, but for me, also makes me think of the Egyptian Revival that flourished during the Jazz Age, which is why I paired it with Art Deco jewelry.
If the words Second Life and fashion have skittered within five miles of your brain, you know that Paper Couture has released their 2009 Spring Collection. Now, I would like to have that cool, detached above-it-all sangfroid that would allow these fashion events to pass by whilst I wait until the lagnormous crowds of shoppers have passed through, waiting calmly for the storm to pass so I can shop and blog in easy relaxation. However, the ista in fashionista demands a bit of sheer insanity which is what last night’s shopping frenzy was. Standing at a bloggers convention in Paper Couture, all of us paused, waiting for the clothes to rez. It’s such a delicious bit of silliness and still fun and exciting…and so worth it when the collection is a stunning as this on. I have not looked at everything yet, but of what I have seen, this is the best collection of theirs to date. And this dress, the Beaded Wildflowers just takes my breath away with its detail and quality.

When I wasn’t looking, Miffyhoi Rosca went in and dumped a ton of news in the store. I suppose it’s because she’s in Hong Kong and I’m exactly 12 hours opposite that we often are just ships passing in the night that I missed it.
Oh, and the fact that I’m a bad store owner and don’t do a daily walk through. Continue reading
Okay, there’s two sure-fire ways to feel like a fairy princess. First, you could prick your finger, sleep for 100 years and wake to a kiss by some handsome prince who’s 100 years younger than you and then be called a Cougar Princess all your life…or you could go the easy route and TP over to Evie’s Closet and buy yourself one of her stunning gowns. I recommend the latter, it’s faster.
