The sun has left us and probably will not return until next June. Oh, sure we might get a glimpse for a minute here and there and maybe even a teasing hour of clear skies, but winter has settled in with the clouds and the rain and the dour weather. Thankfully, we can teleport to other places in a heartbeat, to sunny Cuba or Costa Rica, to Singapore or India or Africa and all the sunny, happy climes. But for today, I will dress for the gloomy November skies.
I do love the Symphony Sweep hairstyle from Armidi and its sweet little flip in the bangs before the lovely roll of hair curving round the head. It’s a sleek, stylish and sophisticated update of an old style that makes it fresh and modern. With a little black dress, it’s delightful.
Never mix plaids. If you wear plaid, wear on only one article of clothing. These are rules that are meant to be broken. Carefully! You can mix plaids, just make sure they are similar in hue and that the patterns are a different size.
I recently took a new posting as a footman at Versaille. This is the autumn uniform. 8)
Well, no, that’s not true. What is true is that wasitcoats and boots and buttons are sexy. Yes they are!
A month or so ago, one of the designers at Prelude dropped an outfit on me to review. It was lovely but similar in style to something I had recently blogged. Still I liked it a lot and decided to check the store out. There I found so many tempting outfits there, but this one has such a whimsical feeling I could not resist.
It’s Election Night and I am eager to hear the results, expecting sweet victory. So I am wear the color of victory – gold – in a in-between dress with a dressy looking fabric and a casual cut – perfect for most election night parties from casual to cocktail.

Many of you might be aware that Teagan Blackthorne and Laynie Link recently re-invented their design house and launched the TEA LANE shop with new designs. I have been remiss in checking it out (It’s totally on my list) but Laynie was good enough to drop me some goodies to check out the new offerings.

Sunday afternoon Maht did one of his best sets ever at the Velvet – a homage to the great songwriters and I was ready to dance because I was eager to try out the new dances from Akeyo in a group. I prefer dances that don’t make the men dancing with me on my HUD look silly, and these Akeyo dances really fit the bill. Animazoo has some great ones, too, by the way. No disrespect to Sine Wave, which also produces some good club dances. It’s just that I cringe when I see a guy doing OMG. What can I say? Anyway, eager to dance, I decided a nice miniskirt and tights would suit and sure enough they did.

Well…….I do.
Casual wear in our world consists of pants and tops or skirts and tops – just like RL. So yeah, it can get tiresome to see tank after tank after tank paired with this or that. Which is where patterns and textures come in so nicely.
For me, this ensemble at SHAMELESS was an easy sell, the skirt is simple and unobtrusive (prims skirts have to be eye-catchingly brilliant or very simple in my opinion) and the top is a fun print. Continue reading
I thought about calling this Cardinal Sins, but there’s nothing sinful about this delightful gown from Paper Couture. This is a dress for conquering the world.
