Collecting the Fall

“It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to have been born a millionaire.”

~Robert Louis Stevenson

I am making up for lost time this autumn, in that I’m collecting everything I can get my hands on which is fall related and doing seasonal decorating as though there is no tomorrow. I’m not sure exactly who it is for but it’s making me happy so who cares.

I have added fall decorations indoors and out and I have to admit I’m pretty pleased with myself all in all.

This coat from Leri Miles designs caught my attention the moment I put it on, I’m ready for a reason to wear a dressy coat. I do like this one because it’s color change in all it’s parts and you can choose to tone down the brightness of the brooch. Continue reading →

Oscar, the Music Critic

I mixed Kungler's Lavinia Top with the SHI pantsuit. It came with a solid black top, but I liked the addition of this tone on tone print. I am wearing the gauntlets with a bow on the wrist that Tracy Rubble made for me for Nzuri.

I got my new cat Oscar back in June. He was 11 when I got him from the Humane Society and a bit rough around the edges what with spending eight months waiting for someone to appreciate his unique qualities. Perhaps if they had known that he was a music critic someone might have found him first and I would have missed out on his delightful quirks and wonderful conversations like this one.  I first discovered his talent while I was working on my What I Like column for Shopping Cart Disco at the computer in the kitchen. All of a sudden, I heard music playing from the bedroom and got up to check and there was Oscar sitting by the ipod which I have in a speaker base. How cute, I thought, he must have been rubbing his nose on it and turned it on.

I've been blown to the right and the left of the light

Autumn flower rhyme filtered through my mind
But I wouldn’t begin to explain without help from a song
And the moon and the sun

Sometimes the wind that blows through life
Can stir up the darkness and pain
Oh I’ve been blown to the right and the left of the light
It’s the wind but I still feel to blame

The Glam Detective

The life of a Glam Detective is not an easy one. There’s always competitors on the other side of the door, trying to muscle in and take your title. Take Miss O’Shaughnessy on the other side of the door. Should I let her in and listen to her story? Perhaps Miss O’Shaughnessy would have been less murderous if she did her shopping at Sonatta Morales where I picked up this gorgeous number.

Hey, can I borrow your store for a minute?

I have been frantically updating the blogroll. You see it over there on the right? It’s so much shorter now because I have shifted the links to Blogging Second Life, a companion site to It’s Only Fashion. This will make our blog load more quickly while still making sure all the links are available if you need them. It also allows me to provide more useful information, such as the name behind the blog, the store, and marketplace links. If I knew how to integrate two themes on one site, I would have kept it right here, but that’s above my pay grade. I hope you check it out and add missing information in the comments there.

While working on this project, more than once I came upon a store blog that required an in-world visit to complete the information. One such was MMGrafitti’s store blog. It’s possible all the information is on his blog, but it’s in Japanese and even Google Translate cannot answer every question.  I am happy I checked it out, though, because it was such a fun home and decor store that I had to shoot some pictures there. Seriously, when it’s time to shoot some photos in the snow, I am definitely taking pictures at the snow cabin. It has footprints in the snow on the porch!!!

The weather has turned colder in real life and that has me reaching for warmth in Second Life. How silly is that? Still, any excuse to wear this marvelous fur from Baiastice. Sissy Pessoa has release two new jackets in four different furs. This is the short black fur and while she may have squeezed and skinned some pixels, no animals were harmed. I am wearing it over a magnificent blue python dress from R.icielli released for Modavia Fashion Week. I love the blue color and its overall look and don’t mind the seams not lining up as it makes it seem like python skin rather than a python-print fabric. The dress comes with shoes and earrings and that magnificent belt.

Make It Work

Do any of you still watch Project Runway now that it has moved to Lifetime and added 30 minutes to the show? I confess that I do, though with less and less enthusiasm over time. You would think with 30 extra minutes, we would see more of Tim Gunn, but we don’t. Instead we see a lot more fighting and arguing in the workroom. They try, the scream, they holler, the flounce and they sneer, but they will never be Wendy Pepper. This week, though, one of the designers had an amazing Make It Work moment when she lost her money at the fabric store and had to work with the money other designers had to donate to her. It was a low cost challenge in the first place, so she had only $11.50 and was certain she was going home, but she dried off her tears and made it work and won the challenge. I didn’t have nearly the difficulty making this work. I love the Zaria bodysuit, leggings and miniskirt but I wanted a more formal look and decided to make it work by adding a full length skirt and allowing the Zaria miniskirt to function as an embellishment at the waist. I love how it turned out.

Dear Sachi I Was Wrong

It’s LOVE-LOVE.

Adam N Eve have a new skin that will be released very soon and I’ve had it on for three days. Sachi asked me to try it on just to see what I thought of it, and I liked it a lot at first. She said “but not love-love eh?” And I floundered. I couldn’t decided.

I was wrong. I’ve had this skin on three days. I’m a skin chameleon excitedly changing from one to the next. This skin is so gorgeous and feels so comfortable on Gidge, I’ve left it on outfit after outfit.

I simply cannot wait till she releases it. And if you are on Sachi’s TL on plurk, you know it has really nice boobies too.

So put aside your lindens girls, there is a gorgeous new skin coming your way soooooon. Continue reading →
