Short and Sweet! Not just the dress, the post as well. I am working late in RL and taking a few minutes just to post this outfit and let you judge it for yourselves. I went a little pared down on the accessories because the beaded collar straps eliminate the need and the advisability of a necklace. I went for the taupe shoes because taupe is undervalued when really, it’s a lovely and versatile color that needs more outings. Continue reading

Another designer that is generous with the freebies especially around the holidays is SYD – Style Your Destiny. For just a linden you can pick up this sweet little July 4 dress in their store in world or on ONREZ. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to break out my color change bracelets from Fresh Baked Goods. I love these – any bracelet that I can make work with any outfit is definitely a best buy. Continue reading

When I first conceived of doing this whole week in Red White and Blue, this was the outfit that inspired my silly notion. Every once in a while I sweep Onrez for freebie and dollarbie newness and this kyooot little number popped up a couple of weeks ago or more. From Awesome Designs you can still pick it up here for $L1. You can probably also pick it up at the Awesome Designs maintsore In World however I haven’t popped over there to check. 🙂
I think my favorite thing on this outfit (besides the excellent vibrant color) are these fun stockings! Continue reading
Let’s clear one thing up first. I love polka dots. Not surprisingly, they are named after the dance, but only because at the time textile manufacturers were producing the polka dot fabrics, the polka was the hottest dance craze around. Just think, if polka dots had not come out then, but say in the 20’s the may have been Charleston Dots or Shimmy Dots. If they were named today, what would they be called? Crump Dots? I kind of like the name Shimmy Dots, but I don’t suppose we could persuade the world to change the name.
Creamshop makes two delicious polka dot skirts in one lovely fatpack. I am wearing the black with gold dots, there is also a white with gold dots skirt. There are lovely bubble skirts – a skirt fashion more suited to SL than RL where wrinkling and flattening while you sit are not going to leave your skirt out of sorts all day long. As you can see, they provided another opportunity to throw on my Elphaba shoes from Digit Darkes. I believe there might actually be a dozen outfits by now with those shoes on this blog (just guessing!) Continue reading

Barbie Princess holiday freebies always rock my world. I wore their christmas outfit to an ice skating party last year. This one didn’t dissapoint either. A super cute string bikini with some pants you choose to wear or not (I decided to wear them since I was monument climbing – did I mention this entire thing was FANTOM? GAH!) Continue reading
I love these pants. I found them on ONREZ when searching for July 4 goodies to share with you. There is so much fun available out there right now – I love the creativity everyone shows at the holidays.
Hatchy created some special flag face skins for the World Cup and I asked her to create us one for the 4th of July. It’s available now at my place, Don’t ask.
Two great things about these tanks – first of all they are transfer so you buy the big fat pack and you can share with your friends – and the back is totally cute. Continue reading
My fellow Americans, and Ameriphiles,
The 4th of July weekend is almost upon us.
In RL this means barbecues, family picnics, parties, cookouts, trips to the beach and the omnipresent fireworks displays.
IN SL this means all of the above – plus the REQUISITE fashion adjustments for the old Red White and Blue. Continue reading
People who live where it’s really hot know that the secret to dressing for hot weather is not wearing next to nothing but wearing loose, comfortable natural fibers that breathe and wick moisture away from your skin. The hotter it is, the more my colleagues from Bangladesh, India and the Philippines wear. So, learning from the experts in hot weather dressing, when it hit 103 yesterday, I didn’t take off, I added on….with this lovely sari from Sn@tch. Believe it or not, the fat pack of Saris skirts with the silver top comes in 6 skirt colorts for only 250 lindens. I can handle lots of 103 days at that rate.

I’ve been holding this little gem back for a while waiting for the Cubbie-Sox game. Alas, Cubbies didn’t pull it out, regardless I’ve got a cute little outfit for you sports girls out there. Continue reading
Nothing can bring an outfit to life faster than a bold retro print. Take this cute little jacket and skirt outfit from Miffyhoi Rosca at H&M. She sells it with a white v-neck crop top and it’s adorable. It has prim cuffs, collar and a bit of prim swing to the jacket as well. The attention to detail on the prim collar is stunning as you can see in the close-up photo below. However, it needed some color, I thought, so I reached in the closet and pulled out this retro print top from The HUB. That spark of color just brought it all to life.
