Soooo, you know what is really fun?
Buying and wearing a wedding dress for no reason. Okay this might not be technically and officially a WEDDING DRESS -or maybe it is. It wasn’t labeled as such. But I was in a daffy mood, rolling around THE DECK – Sasy Scarboroughs beautiful beach sim. I popped into Tori-Wear and was just all girly mooshy about this big white dress.
So I bought it. Continue reading
It’s May and the sun peeps out every 15 minutes or so behind the normal grey Oregon sky – a harbinger of the real summer that will come next month. Looking out my window I see a riot of flowers, tulips, lavender, rhodies and azaleas and it’s so lovely. With that sort of sunny mood, I wanted a sunny dress and this one from Anuenue seems perfect for the occasion.

I was in a duo-chomatic mood when I tried to decide WHICH of the super sexy summer shorts from Second Wave Apparel to wear today. It’s the weekend so I think Casual is IN ORDER! Don’t you? Continue reading
There is no more elegant shape than a well-made sheath dress. I have thought this before, but it was never so profoundly drummed into my head as when I saw the incredibly inappropriate butt-shots of Princess Letizia and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy during a recent state visit. It is wrong that this was the photo published around the world from this state visit – and yet it is an eye-catching and beautiful photo. Now what makes it so is not just that they are lovely women, but that they are both wearing sheath dresses that really accentuate their form. And so, to show you what I mean, I chose another incredible sheath dress, this one from Victoria V.

It started out simply enough. I’m in World. Cajsa is in World. One of us says “Wanna shoot?” – the other agrees and she TPs me into her photo studio at MDR. I land in the sphere with her and wander out to the platform to wait for the world to rezz a bit.
Ya with me?
I spin around and take a look at the cute outfit she’s got on, sweet little casual skirt look with a denim jacket. Myself I was wearing my “PRIM WHORE” shirt from Weirdiculous that I got for my first REZZ day and had my title all planned out “KNOW THYSELF”……..
I had planned to be witty. Continue reading
This is the perfect outfit for the weather today – a bit warm a bit brisk, sunny – cloudy, oh damn we can’t make up our minds weather. But no rain! In a city that gets over 200 days of rain, that’s a plus. If I could, I would natter on all day about the purple cardigan from Kurotsubaki. It’s a lovely wrap sweater replete with multiple prim attachments – including the lovely bell sleeves. What’s unique is that there are 4 prims for the flowy bits – 2 for each attachment point so you can choose exactly how full and flowy you want it to be. I chose the less full options just because that seemed more casual.
I have tried to contact Maggie from Runway Magazine and blog but all contact info has been stripped from the web site. I have also emailed Tao who generously hosts the Fashion Planet feed we all enjoy asking that Runway’s Blog be removed because they are abusing their privileges and spamming the feed. Since they have closed the agency and the magazine, this childish and selfish abuse of the feed is inexcusable. Unfortunately, even their former staff cannot contact Maggie as she has shut down her old email address in an effort to avoid any accountability.
Nonetheless, my posts continue to be sucked up without their permission and result in sending two copies of my posts to the feed. I am particularly upset in that I carefully design my blog posts so that only 1 or 2 pictures go to the feed so that the feed is not spammed with lost of my photos and a long post – trying to be considerate of other readers and other posters who dont’ want their blog posts shoved down and off the feed any more quickly than necessary.
Despite all that, Runway is still stealing the content of It’s All Fashion without permission and still spamming the feed. Finally, Runway has removed some but it seems only those who publicly complained here on the feed. If that’s what it takes, if discreet and quiet efforts to get removed cannot work, well then here’s my request to Maggie. Take me off the Runway Feed now!
There are a few designers whom I discovered early in my second life – the ones whose clothing made me search for ways to earn some lindens because camping would never suffice to feed my addiction to their wares. One of those was Neferia Abel of Ivalde. I joined the group and looked forward eagerly to the weekly announcements. I never missed the group freebies and checked on the welfare of the lucky chair with dedication. This outfit was one of my earliest purchases. I was about a week old when I got it and you know what, all this time later and I still love it.
I like all sorts of art and many artists, but for some odd reason my favorites all have last names beginning with K: Klimpt, Klee and Kandinsky. Isn’t that odd? Of course, it’s not odd that someone who loves Klee also loves Kandinsky as they both taught at the Bauhaus, a relatively short-lived art school that had a tremendously positive influence on art and architecture and even product design. So…when I saw the Kandinsky dress from True La La, it was irresistible. It is made of a sleevless tank, prim skirt and socks – all with marvelous Kandinsky print on them. However, I thought that the three pieces of Kandinsky were too much and decided to take a different road for the skirt.
In my experience, velvet is one of the trickier textures to do well in our pixel clothing, so I am so pleased with the lovely black velvet and brocade dress from Prelude. Like everything from Prelude, it comes in an over-stuffed folder full of options. In this case, you have every possible layer option and choices of the level of sheerness in the bodice as well as the option of wearing a jacket or not. Sweet! Don’t those Maitreya shoes stir up the hotness factor as well?
