Lady In Red Gets Swept Away

Adam & Eve is one of those stores I NEVER shop at enough. I don’t know why. Maybe because it’s not one of those stores that got ingrained in me when I was a noob. It’s certainly not for lack of quality – it’s lovely stuff. And it’s not because of the creator being a jerk – far from it – Sachi Vixen has never been anything but lovely to me.

Why do I always forget to shop there? I have to rectify it.  Note to self, go back to Adam & Eve tonight and find something pretty!

In a blue mood

4 Replies

So, I was in a blue mood today and I don’t mean unhappy, soulful or sad. No, I just wanted some blue clothes and blue jewelry and to play me some blues on ITunes. So I put on some Gatemouth Brown and rooted around in the semi-organized chaos I call my inventory.  The first thing I pulled out were the stockings from League. Now, I know you don’t start an outfit from the stockings, but I didn’t care, I wanted to wear them and I knew I could find something to suit. Sure enough, this skirt from Sugar Cube was perfect, so it was simply a matter of finding a shirt, some accessories and I would be good to go.

Just Say No to No-Mod

This gorgeous mohair skirt comes in green, grey and blue.

I love this mohair skirt from The Closet. In fact, I have it in three colors and if she made more colors, I would probably have it in those colors as well. And putting it together with some warm cozy tights and well, you have my favorite sort of run-around outfit. And it must be, I think I ran around in it for three days. But there was a problem – and not to single out The Closet – it is widespread problem that affects clothes from many stores and designers. It’s one that would be very simple to fix, though. The thing is – no mod prim clothing is just plain bad business practice.

So my only two trips to Vegas were via the company I worked for, business trips of various sorts. Despite that, I got to look from my “I’m just here on business with no cash for nutty stuff” point of view at some of the legendary Vegas activities.

Such as, prostitution!

The last time I went,our company rented out the entire Treasure Island/Mirage hotel complex (ahem yeah it was a big company) and put up every manager and above from around the world.

One of my two favorite moments in Vegas came in the casino by the elevators to the tower rooms at the Treasure Island.  I step off the elevator and walk toward the bar, where the president of my division (my boss) is seated, chatted up by this bejeweled girl in bright green. Continue reading →

Prelude to More Options

Leave a reply

As I have mentioned, this new collection from Prelude is dominated by outfits that are clothing suites with multiple blouses, skirts and pants for mixing and matching. Still, sometimes you want to add something of your own – as I did with the glam Micha Mi tank here.  I love the little boleros in the Sorbonne suite, but preferred a simple tank to the fancy bras that are designed to go with it.

The sweep of motion in this scarf Cajsa captured put me in mind of that great song, who is it by, the Kinks? 

Another Saturday Another Date

She would be ready but she’d always make him wait

In the front hall in anticipation…..he didn’t know the night

would end up in frustration…..

he’d end up blowing all his wages for the week……..

all for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek……

COME DANCING!

I mean, that totally IS this girl, right?

🙂 Who me? Continue reading →

My biggest concern going to the Relay for Life Clothing Fair was truly, what I PERSONALLY was going to wear.  I like the Challenge of putting on something Low ARC and looking good – and positively impacting my own experience in what can otherwise sometimes be LAG HELL of Fairs and Expos.

Keep It Simple, Stupid

I’m not normally a big fan of “natural” makeups on skins, that au natural look that is so 2008.  But some people do it well. My first thought when trying on Rykers Genesis-Eden skin in the 1st Time makeup was – Beach Face!

Ok ok ok, it’s not SL Beach Face.

But, it’s sort of MY beach face. In RL. Pale skin, freckled by the sun, pink lips – clear complexion.  It’s obviously meant to convey a very natural wholesome beauty and I think that Ryker really achieved that with this – giving definition and form to what is often a washed out nude on other skins.

Sorry for blogging so late and with just an abbreviated post at that. I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day today and have not accomplished much of anything at all today.   Anyway, that’s the why for this late and short post. The dress is from L’Abel and is scrumptious.

Going For Baroque

I know it’s a bad pun but I’m not the one going for broke, it’s Prelude designer Polaire Aeghin. She is going to extremes to create outfits you can wear three, four, five different ways even before you start mixing and matching with the rest of your wardrobe. Good grief, she even includes two *TWO* parrot canes, one with and one without an AO.
