Liquid Gold

When I received a review copy of Kungler’s new Floratta, I knew it would be a popular item on the blogs – the lovely gold textures and sassy style certain to appeal to everyone. So, I thought I wouldn’t blog it, but it was irresistible, so I decided to rethink it a bit by mixing it up with a different skirt.  With Kungler’s typical attention to detail, the the gold top is finished with a lovely bronze edge. I thought it would be fun to match it up with a bronize skirt and accessories.

Serendipity

Don’t you just love serendipity? I not only love it when it happens, I love the sound of the word. It has a joyful, lucky sound to it – which is how I felt while putting away some shopping last night. I confess this SLurl project has been a budget buster as I frequently get sidetracked and end up actually shopping while I test the landmarks. And so it was I had a folder full of shopping to sort and put away and serendipity is how I ended up with this outfit. Continue reading

Mission: Impossible

Oh, wearing different skins can get addictive when they look this good. Today I am wearing another of the magnificent PXL Creations skins by Hart Larsson. The only post-processing in this photo is cropping – and yet the skin looks magnificent and the makeup is sultry, sexy and seductive.

The better to go with my Impossible dress, my dear. Yes, the mission, should I choose to accept it, is to wear the amazing Turquase dress from Impossible. I didn’t just accept it, I jumped on it. Continue reading

Just Because I Can

So whilst working on the Secret Project this weekend, trekking hither and yon, through hot, steamy boutiques, arid, scorching jewelers and frigid, stormy millineries, I frequently was misled by outdated landmarks and landed in Terra Incognita. Sometimes I found something fun, sometimes I struggled to find my destination. But, a good explorer accepts these mishaps with equanimity – recognizing the opportunity to find new outposts of fashionality. Which is not exactly what happened when I followed the forwarding landmark for Fumi – opting to look around to see what was there, I eventually happened on Fumi on the other end of the sim. The luck was that when I informed the owner that her lm at her old store had the wrong coordinates, she thanked me with a gift of two outfits from her lovely store. This is one of them.

It’s very different from my usual look, so I dyed my hair and drastically changed my skin – to MiaSnow Myriam’s lovely Dahlia, the starlet — because it was fun and because I can. Continue reading

A Rose by Any Other Name


posted by Gidge Uriza

I was out shopping with Miffy one night, looking for something. I didn’t know what – I just knew that I’d know it when it ran into us. It was a fortuitous night, shopping wise. I discovered JunWave while they were having  their 50% off sale, I discovered Love Soul, and while wandering around other shops in the area Miffy posed this question.”Are you looking for a new dress?” Continue reading

This Dress Does Double Duty

After trekking far and wide for my still unfinished project and doing 4 photo shoots for clients, I felt like dressing up a bit last night – but not too much. There’s this lovely gown from Mondira with subtly shaded fabric that is breathtaking – but it was a bit too dressy for my mood. But why let that stop me from wearing it? Continue reading

Walk This Way

posted by Gidge Uriza

A relaxed weekend in the mountains (which is where I’ve been) called for something casual and fun. It’s still hot hot hot hot hot here, so even being in the mountains doesn’t provide cool breezes for relief at night. Kunglers PARADISE outfit is so bright and cheery, yet stylishly casual, I couldn’t resist it.

I don’t wear many “tank” tops and as I’ve said I don’t really wear Tshirts so finding casual pieces to wear that I like to wear always makes me happy.  I’ve struggled with SOME prim babydoll top attachments recently – they attach strangely, they move oddly, they’re just over-all wonky. This one seems to be big enough  that I could make a very slight adjustment and it didn’t hang bizarrely into my butt with my AO on (which as you can imaagine, makes a difference). Continue reading

Curio-usly Mismatched

A short post while I work away on my blog project that I hope to finish tonight – I am halfway there. It takes some running around in-world, so I dressed for urban trekking in this fun jacket from LBD. The colors demanded an equally vibrant makeup, so I wore Curio’s Mismatch. There is a close up after the cut. Continue reading

Not Trying to Be Lazy

So, I am super busy on a project for the blog – hoping to finish it up tonight or early tomorrow. I would tell you what it is, but then what fun is that?  Instead, here’s a quick take shot on the wonderful pose dolly at Kari – a new store with clothing and two of the most fun poses props I have seen in a while.

Don't Cry For Me, I'm Evita

Posted by Gidge Uriza

A good friend of mine always keeps a large stable of women in SL. He gives them land and houses and they sometimes rotate who is #1 and sometimes there is a long term #1 like now, but no matter what – when Evita blows into town – all bets are off. Continue reading
