Boy the way Glenn Miller played

Ruruko's Green Tweed Suit is an exquisite vintage suit. The shawl collar, big cloth buttons and the pastel green all hallmarks of a long ago era in fashion.

A comment on my flickr invoked the music of Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey when looking at this suit. They seemed the perfect foil for this suit – their songs from a few decades earlier, but the can-do optimism of their music seems reflected in the upbeat design of the dress.

Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing and care will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true
It’s no mistake
And wishes are the dreams we dream
When we’re awake
The curtain of night will part
If you are certain within your heart
So if you wish long enough, wish strong enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so

Disco Mix and Match

posted by Gidge Uriza

The new disco pants – Hup Hugger Gold Sparkle – required something flashy to wear with them. I decided I was Cajsa, and that I was going to pull part of another outfit away and make it work with this outfit! I took the top and the sleeves from AXEL’s Dolly Dress which is a fun retro satin texture and made a great pairing.

This is another great example of mining your inventory to make a whole new look out of things you already have!  Unless you’re a SLebrity you’re like me and want to make those lindens count, so mixing and matching pieces together is a great way to get a new look out of things you already have.

Wow!

When I saw this outfit at the store I was not nearly so impressed as when I put it on. When I put it on, my initial reaction was limited to a few words like Wow! and Wicked! I am so impressed with the texturing of the clothing. How beautifully the stripes align in the pants, the sleeves and the jacket where, with several pieces in different directions could have, in less skilled hands, been scary.

How many review items can one girl wear in a post? Let’s find out!

All of them?! YES!

The new Bebae Valentine release skins are really very glamorous – maybe fancier than this sweater pants combo warranted but I’m having trouble taking them off lately.  Continue reading

Italian Style

The Italian community has fostered lots of good designers and also worked together in many ways with Italian fashion shows and gallery showings of Italian artists and the like.  Last year wandering around a Best of Italian festival I happened on Orage Creations and promptly put it on my list of stores I make an effort to revisit once a month at least.  Her specialty is stunning gowns and exuberant fashion. Now, however, she’s doing some homage to great runway fashion such as this recreation of a Versace gown worn by Charlize Theron to the Venice Film Festival.

There Was Something In The Air That Night…..

Okay okay okay. The dress is FERNANDA – not FERNANDO. Perhaps Fernanda is the one singing? Remembering that fateful night they crossed the Rio Grande? What were Swedes doing in Mexico fighting for Independence? I’m so confused.

ANYWAY…… Continue reading

Cheongsam for the Chinese New Year

posted by Gidge Uriza

One of my favorite styles, the Cheongsam is one of the many great buys at the big Pixel Dolls L$50 sale. Everything in one room is only fifty lindens and it’s all an amazing steal. I’ve been hard pressed to pick out specific items vs. just buying them all. Continue reading

Ornamental Cleavage

posted by Gidge Uriza

Sometimes I don’t realize how smexy a shirt is. For instance, I bought this one solely to match this skin I picked up and thought, “this’ll be a great contrast.”

Ahem. Well, it’s obviously a beautiful sweater, rich in color great details.

And MAN is it boobariffic. Continue reading
