Stardust Memories
Stardust Memories…
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Oh, that Hoagie Carmichael sure could write a great song, a timeless classic that will still be sung if and when we ever travel to the stars. This dress, Daphne Diamond, from Casa del Shai, has that same sort of classic timelessness. I can picture Greta Garbo sparkling in this, but I can also close my eyes and see Deanna Troi waltzing in it at some intergalactic ballroom.
What makes it a classic? The elegant simplicity of its lines, the subtle soft sensuous fabric, the always chic silvery gray color, and the way it clings and sways to the body. Then there is the simple and restrained embellishment of stardust on the skirt. It is a dress that could last forever. And oh….is it ever sexy. Continue reading
Halfway Up the Hindu Kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush…katie melua
I went looking for the Taj Mahal the other night and actually found a house for sale called the Taj Mahal. It wasn’t what I was looking for though. While i didn’t find the Taj, at the SL Botanical Garden I found this lovely building that suited my shooting mood, even though it looks more Arabic than Indian. I was wearing the lovely tie dye blouse from Zaara and wanted a special setting to complement the rich and ornate textures that make her clothing so unique. Incidentally, this is one hot little blouse – and I don’t know which to emphasize, hot or little. Continue reading
The Sweetest Escape
With the slew of retro bathing suits blasting out of fashion houses, I was excited to try out a new modern look sent to me from Second Wave. Pairing with the skin sent to review from Free Speerit – Eleania in Ruby Natural, I was ready to get some sun on Koh Nana. Continue reading
We Should Be Dancing
We should be dancing…and we will be tonight at MDR Photo Studio, a bash to celebrate our first six months. To celebrate, we will be giving away four photo sessions to lucky guests. Since I won’t have much time to get ready before the party, I thought I would choose my outfit this morning and decided to go with a few things I love. For as many times as they have appeared in one color or another, regular readers know I love, luv, lurve the Trixie Cami from Celestial Studios. Feeling in the pink, so to speak, I chose the pink one, Smooch. Continue reading
The 7vanth Sign

I am notorious for buying cute clothes and then either forgetting about them for months OR for not being able to remember WHERE I bought them. I’m ashamed to admit I only learned a few months ago to check the clothes CREATOR and I could usually track them down. I don’t know why I never applied this skill to clothing – I KNEW it worked for objects. Who knows – I’m mostly blonde.
Not today obviously, but mostly. Continue reading
Mayan Hawaiian
It was a hot day today so I wore the lovely cotton Hawaiian print skirt from the O’Brien Goes Hawaiian set from Ingenue. A nice crisp cotton can be so cool in hot weather and a vintage print like this one just says summer all day long. The set comes with a lovely short sleeve white cotton blouse, but I wanted a bit more spice than that. Lots more spice!
Looking through my tops, I found a few camis that would work, but still not spicy enough so I started trying on some of the dress tops in my orange folder, thinking that would really pop and sure enough, this top from SeVan’s Isabella dress was what I was looking for. Maybe I’m crazy, but I like it. Continue reading
I Met You On Somebody's Island

“You Thought You Had Known Me Before
I brought you a crate of Papaya
It waited all night by your door……..”
– Steve Miller
Oh my god did he really just say he brought over some papaya trying to make time with the ladies?
After shooting for a million hours the other night, I slipped into a cute new dress and Cajsa immediately said “Let’s shoot this one.”
Sweet. Continue reading

Checking for the coast … Ace of Base
Getting dressed last night, i started with the gorgeous Serina Dress in purple from Digit Darkes, but you know I love to deconstruct my outfits, so I took off the top which is the same color as the base of the skirt and pulled out a purple two-layer top from Pixel Dolls to pick up two of the colors in the richly adorned bottom tier of the skirt. It looked lovely, but I wanted a little more heat so I added a burgundy sash from Persona’s indispensable sash fatpack. Have you gotten your own fatpack yet? What are you waiting for?

Glam Tank Cubed
AM Radio does such amazing builds: Far Away, the temporary Refuge and Prospect, The Quiet and Tusk. I have been wanting to shoot something at Tusk for a while and decided to put an outfit together with the colors of the desert. When I bought this new tank from MichaMi, I knew it would be the base for an outfit to shoot at Tusk.
Milla Michinaga, whose fashion blog was an inspiration for It’s Only Fashion, has become a content creator, opening her new store MichaMi on Rue d’Antibes. The content is spare, but excellently made and focuses on wardrobe foundation pieces such as this Glam Tank in Gold. It’s beautifully made and at 50L, you can get one in every color. I thought that a brown skirt would do well with it and pulled out this wonderful Tiered Skirt from Ce Cubic Effect, a sculpted skirt that keeps its form when you sit or lie down. To top it off, I used the jacket layer belt from Zaara’s Calungate Orange dress. I knew those belts would come in handy.
