The break is over….

This is my first fashion post in quite some time. I was super excited when IOF invited me to be a part of their blog and I hope I don’t screw it up.
I came to realize last night that being out of the fashion loop even for a few months makes one feel like a total noob when it comes to shopping, especially for someone who wears mostly just undies. It’s true, ask anyone, I’m always in my roos.
Anyways, I browsed my small inventory for things to work off of and I found nothing so I decided it was time to head to the marketplace. I wanted something kind of fancy/edgy/christmas-y. I think I pulled it off. I found most of the pieces except for the hair and skin off the marketplace.

Hybie is wearing:
House Of London – [PO] Sera Military Jacket – black
::TGIS:: Metallic Strip Sheer Top [Black]
Fashionably Dead – Bambi – Red 3 hair
Dilly Dolls – Prim Lashes 01
Ibanez – Rivendell Eyes- Lagoon and Elemental
ISON – high waisted zipper skirt (black)
[Atomic] Grace Skin – Mistletoe (With Love Hunt 2011)
Slink – Astrid Boots – Red Leather

Merry Christmas, Mae Tabak

Mae Tabak

I did not know our blog was read by goblins, but it is. One of them even volunteered as guest stylist with all her goblin-ey goodness. So, gracing our pages again is the ungrinchified goblin Mae Tabak. According to the Uncyclopedia, Goblins like boggy areas so I thought it the fens at Zone might be a good place to shoot so we headed off to Zone where the giants walk. I figured if they got feisty, having a goblin around might be an asset. Mae was seasonally festive in a red and black dress from Sn@tch – the store where all the most discerning goblins shop. The textures are rich and the dress has those details that show care and imagination like the row of embellishment right under the bodice and the gracefully curving lines that flatter.

KymSara Rayna is our guest stylist today. I first met KymSara in-world at Ivalde where she works as a customer service representative and has for a very long time. I have come to appreciate her generosity with praise and comments on Flickr.  She dresses with a classic and simple elegance which is epitomized by the outfit she chose for this post.

It's Only Fashion Welcomes It's Newest Blogger: Hybie Mynx

It’s been a while since we added any contributors to the blogging family, but earlier today I saw Hybie mention that she might like to fashion blog again but wasn’t sure she’d want to commit to her own blog. Just a musing but I knew it was a great fit for It’s Only Fashion.

So I dropped her a line and said please come play in our sandbox and she said YES and so…

Please welcome our newest blogger, Hybie Mynx.

Can’t wait to see what she adds to the mix! WELCOME ABOARD HYBIE!

Marketing 201 For Bloggers

In the ever-evolving landscape of online marketing, growing businesses are increasingly recognizing the significance of Search Engine Optimization experts to boost their visibility and reach a broader audience. Just as bloggers seek to enhance their blog’s exposure through social network marketing and other strategies, businesses also realize the value of SEO in improving their chances of reaching potential customers and generating leads. Partnering with skilled SEO professionals can help businesses implement crucial methods that will elevate their rankings in search results and drive organic traffic to their websites. Embracing the advice shared in this insightful post, bloggers can cultivate consistency, engagement, and authenticity while navigating the digital landscape with enthusiasm, patience, and positivity, if not you can still turn to SEO experts. So, dive into the world of SEO and watch your blog soar to new heights!

A few months ago, Gidge did an intro to marketing for bloggers seeking to get the world out about their blog on different social networks. That social network marketing is a critical portion of marketing your blog, particularly in its first few months before it gets added to any feeds. Once you have some history, though, it’s time to start taking additional steps.

Blog Consistently

People will get in the habit of checking your blog regularly if you blog consistently. This does not have to be everyday. It can even be just once a week, but then make sure you do blog once a week, not once this week and four times three weeks later. Make it habitual so people can count on you. If they visit your blog three times without finding new content, they will quit visiting.

Getting Syndicated.

Once you have been blogging for three months or so, it is time to apply to be added to feeds.  A feed aggregates posts from multiple web sites so people can look at the single feed instead of going to multiple websites. Most feeds will not add a blog that does not have 6 weeks or longer of sustained, regular blog posts.

Merry Christmas, Reverie!

reverie_009

Reverie Boucher is a blog reader whom I met when she im’ed me with some good suggestions for outfits I might like to blog and introduced me to a store she liked in Second Life. Since then we have become friends and I have come to appreciate her suggestions as she has a great style of her own. Like me, she is happy to mix and match and showed that it todays’s outfit, taking the top of one dress from Baiastice and mixing it with a skirt to great effect.

The bold black lace and silver lines in this outfit made me want to shoot in China, though that alpha-ridden environment holds challenges for photos, but eventually everything was under control. Especially after she put on these hot shoes from N-Core!
