Going For Baroque

Yes, I went for baroque, combining a sweater, skirt, collar, leggings and jewelry for a lace on lace style that is as extravagant as it is elegant.  The skirt I have worn before, a favorite of mine from Baiastice. It is just the right length and has a nice high waist to fit well with so many tops. The sweater from h.m.a.e.m. is divine and cleverly comes with the alpha in two lengths in case you want to show some midriff. She made a black sweater with white lace also and I may go back and pick it up.  Continue reading →

Casual Comfort and Joy

I used to own this book, titled something like How To Live Well When Your Age and Income are UNDER 30. Oddly, it was sort of a lifestyle book for when your career and finances aren’t in keeping with the aesthetics you’d like to embrace.

It gave you advice on how to appear “all together” – always wear at least lipgloss, do you nails – do them yourself it’s cheaper. Wear a scarf, it classes up even a tee shirt. Meet friends for apps vs dinner – it’s cheaper but still conveys that social eating and drinking vibe. It taught you how to hunt for chic, fun things to do within your budget. Continue reading →

Fast Five Another Fast Five. My cat has been howling all morning demanding attention. He had food, water and really, has been sitting halfway on the laptop or on my shoulder all morning, so there’s no reason for it. Still, I am going to hurry and finish so I can pick him up and hold him like a baby. He is so weird, he likes to be held against my shoulder while I kind of stand and sway back and forth like when you comfort a baby. He’s 13. He should have grown out of this by now.

Fast Five It’s Monday so I am prepping my set for tonight at The Velvet. It’s a fun mix of some psychedelic rock, indie folk and blues and all sorts of songs that fall through the cracks. Not falling through the cracks are today’s Fast Five.

  1. Social Media Meme: Strawberry Singh kicks off another meme that could help you connect with your blogger friends and acquaintances on the many social networks you inhabit. The more people who do the meme, the more you all will be connected. I thought her photo to illustrate the meme was a bit of genius.  Continue reading →

Wee Little Me

I stopped by at Avatar Games this morning and got to feel like a wee little tyke. The back wheel of the velocipede dwarfs my avatar.

Luckily I was dressed in some casual clothing suitable for climbing mountains of books. The casual tank is from Pink Outfitters. I was tempted by the cuteness of this purse from MiaMai for The Critter Society arcade. With pandas, fox, raccoons and other critters in a rainbow of colors, even the Grinch would find one to tease out a smile.

Fast FiveA bonus today, Harper Ganesvoort found a very clever (non-SL) website for dressing up a doll in the style of Erté. We fashionistas love dressing up and dress up sites have been a fun addiction. This is a great addition. And on to the Fast Five.

  1. Working: I love, love, love this post from Sileny Noel. The angle of the shadow cleverly looks as through the shadow is working while she has paused and is thinking. So clever and the style and avatar are adorable, too.  Continue reading →

Just Visiting On A Sunday

Just Visiting

 

It seemed perfect to check out JUST VISITING on a Sunday, the traditional day of calling and visiting friends – after church of course.

I can’t remember having been here, so either it’s new or new to me but I decided it would be a more perfect world all purpley.
My Lunch Didn't Agree With Me
I tried to grab some lunch while visiting but then my lunch tried to grab me. I didn’t find this to be polite AT ALL!

Perfectly Purple

But in terms of a beautiful relaxing place to swaddle yourself in the windlight of your pleasure, it’s a perfect place.

Speaking With a Fan

“Men have the sword, women have the fan and the fan is probably as effective a weapon!” —Joseph Addison

When I studied Spanish in High School, one of the really fascinating lessons was an overview of the language of the fan. For example, resting the fan on the right cheek signaled yes and on the left cheek signaled no. Supposedly the message the fan is sending in this pose is “without your love, I want to die.”  Oops!
