I love skins that have LIPS I CAN SEE (like this one) and eyeshadow that interests me. I’m not always so into the artsy eyes, but once in a while one will catch my eye. What I like most of all, though, is make up that is interesting enough to catch your eye without being garish.
RESULT!
I am afraid that the Fashion Mafia may revoke my card if I admit this aloud – but this is indeed my FIRST skin from Adam n Eve. Continue reading
There’s been an explosion of Lamb on the feed lately and in particular this long hair style from Lamb has been ubiquitous. Of course, that always leades to some griping that we all show the same damn thing. First, I think Achariya’s most recent challenge resoundingly trounced that complaint. Secondly, gripers ignore the substantial benefit of having the same hair shot in varied styles in varied degrees of photo quality and manipulation. With that many photos, if there were major flaws, they would be exposed. And lastly, when something comes along that excites this many people and seems to be “everywhere” it’s only because it solves a problem everyone shares. In this case, here we have flowing long hair that comes forward naturally and yet does not plunge into your breasts, appearing below like some appendage of cousin Itt. It’s got something that people have been wanting and so it’s exciting. This should confirm for you that it’s a great product, well worth buying.

I filed this skirt mentally with Codie’s Catch Phrase “Do Want, That is All.” It’s multi-hued texture and fun bouncy construction make it a great fit with a slouchy sweater or a more form fitting top if you wanted.
I was feeling a bit slouchy. Continue reading
Feeling a bit fey last night, I decided to take the Cambridge Cuffed shirt from Armidi and see if I could give it a “quaintly unconventional” look. After all, what could be more conventional than a plain button-down shirt? A fun challenge, then, to give it an unconventional twist. Browsing my inventory, I tried a few skirts, but the instant I put on Nell from LBD, the search was over.

The new disco pants – Hup Hugger Gold Sparkle – required something flashy to wear with them. I decided I was Cajsa, and that I was going to pull part of another outfit away and make it work with this outfit! I took the top and the sleeves from AXEL’s Dolly Dress which is a fun retro satin texture and made a great pairing.
This is another great example of mining your inventory to make a whole new look out of things you already have! Unless you’re a SLebrity you’re like me and want to make those lindens count, so mixing and matching pieces together is a great way to get a new look out of things you already have. Continue reading
Michelle Obama has excited the fashion world this past year and has often been compared to another first lady, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, because, like Jackie, she is a fashion trailblazer. With hypercritical attention of the press, most First Ladies opt for well-known established designers and safe colors and designs. Michelle Obama’s choices on Inauguration Day signaled in two ways that she is not going the safe route. First, she chose relatively unknown designers, not opting for the security of an old design house. Secondly, although the silhouettes were classic and certainly safe, the fabrics and colors were bold and adventurous. My choices for this outfit offer an homage to the brilliant color coordination and experimentation she offered for the historic event.
Slap me before I pun again. Many of you have seen several of Digit Darkes new sex-on-wheels outfits this past week so I thought I would show you one and focus mainly on the hairstyle I am wearing with it. I organize my hair into two main folders, one for Red Hair and one for everything else. The Red Hair Folder is the big one and inside it I have the expected sub-folders for short, medium etc. One folder, though, I have labelled photo hair and in it I keep those photo-loving hairstyles that are not quite made for walking around, but that look wonderful in a photo. The new Esme hairstyle from Exile is going in that folder.
The other day I was shopping at Adam N Eve, looking to see if their made their wonderful high-waisted leather skirt in gold as well as silver. They don’t, I want. I wanted to wear it with this top – a blouse I love with reservations. It’s a gorgeous design, I love the intricate black on black embroidery and would wear it more often if it were not sold on only the jacket layer. I would like to tuck it in sometimes. I would like to wear it under a jacket sometimes. It’s a constant refrain from those of us who write about fashion, give us more layers. Continue reading
Sadly I could never finish the book Bright Lights, Big City even though I generally like Jay McInerny. Something about reading an entire book in the second person is just too daunting. Still, the jacket from Chantkare is called Brite Lite which made me think of the novel…and then this pose is such a “model” pose that it also made me think of how the main character would look at mannequins in shop windows and imagine they were his wife. Blog post titles are so hard to come up iwth sometimes and the tenuous connections that create them can be bizarre. Not bizarre, however, is the Brite Lite tweed jacket. It’s marvelous and makes me think of Chanel. I love jackets and this one is just so well structured.
Silly puns! I love them. Of course, this dress really is too beautiful for puns, isn’t it? I love the rich silk brocade with the ancient Chinese prints inspired by old painted vases and silk screens. Even without that glorious bow adornment, this dress is a sophisticated homage to the ancient silks of China, but that bow…oh yes, that bow. Don’t you just love how it angles so it frames the face and draws your eye to the neck?
