The Greatest Spectacle In Motor Racing Fashion

posted by Gidge Uriza

First and foremost, when dressing for the Indy 500, you gotta consider your feet. It’s gonna be a hell of a walk to your car, even if you have a sweet party house nearby that you call base camp, it’s still a mile or more in urban landscape. So sneaks are in order. The Urban Bomb Unit’s DRUNKS are only my second purchase from that shop but still, those two pair of shoes remain among my favorites. Scripted like mad with color change options on EVERY PART of the shoe, you can truly make an unimaginable range of sneaks out of this one pair of shoes. Plus they are size scripted, so no messy modding going on – truly appreciated. Continue reading →

Hunting Gear

Leave a reply

Gidge and I did the VIP Keys hunt last night finishing late enough that I have not even peeked at our gifts yet. However, it was a pleasant hunt and 50 seems just about the right number. It was the first hunt I have completed since the Halloween Ghost hunt. I found some new-to-me stores and spent more than I should have, so it seems to work the way it’s supposed to.  This is the outfit I wore while hunting – casual and comfy, but still stylish and fun.

The First and The Last

Any fashionista worth her salt knows the first thing she ever got at a good store. That FIRST thing she picked up, and knew she liked the place. For me, it was these shoes from Artilleri – I got them both with cherries and with the oxidized Warhol Marilyn on them.

I think they rule but tend to forget I have them. When new releases came out a couple of weeks ago I had to go see what was new since I hadn’t been in a long time.

And I got swept up into an Artilleri new release buying frenzy.

These pants make me glad Gidge does her situps every night. PHEW!

And then while I was in my flurry of purchasing I broke down and bought my first SL glasses ever. I couldn’t resist I thought they were a hoot.  They look like FINs on a 50s automobile.

Ok ok ok – I know I’m making sweet love to Artilleri all over the place but it’s just such a fun shop.  I guess I got caught up in the moment…..SUE ME.

Keeping Warm

Keeping warm during these final days of winter is proving to be a joy as I work together pretties from various places.  This entire outfit started out with Digit Darkes VIPER Capris. Do you think Digit killed and skinned this viper herself? Continue reading →

Hunting for Kisses

1 Reply

So I succumbed and spent a few hours hunting for kisses last night. I found some lovely items that I thought I would show in case you want to look for them too. One of my favorites so far was a Euphoria Fashions – a box with this lovely top in four colors, pants and shoes and possibly more. I sort of lost track in the generosity of the box. I love this top and will definitely make it a keeper.

Hearts & Flowers

Another day of cuteness with adorable embroidery from Meu! and Stitch by Stitch.  The top is from Meu! on Osaka sim. It’s the store called Meu! & Ska, a joint store with fun, playful shirts. I could not resist the lovely embroidery in this top. I decided to wear the Stitch by Stitch embroider shrug because I am not afraid of too much of a good thing. Adding a simple pencil skirt kept me from going over the top.

Bare Rose Appreciation Challenge #3

Leave a reply

I had this bright idea last night to try to double up on the challenge – producing a literary character to meet Teagan’s challenge and finding some or all of that character’s clothing at Bare Rose. I might have made it, too, if I had not been reading such a darn good book that I missed by bus stop and rode the bus 49 extra blocks before noticing.  And to top it off, when I asked the driver if he was turning round, he said it was his last run. So I had to get off the bus and wait for a returning one. I didn’t leave work til nearly 7 so needless to say it was late when I got home.  But if you only look at this picture, you might think I succeeded in dressing Nancy Drew at Bare Rose. When I think of Nancy Drew, I think of argyle sweaters and twin sets. Since it’s fall, I chose Argyle in a fabulous Bare Rose fatpack filled with every color in the universe. It’s sold with matching micro-minis but that was too prep school lolita for me.

I <3 Zaara

I love scarves, love them with a passion. My closet is full of scarves from Russian wedding ring scarves to color Indian scarves, from vibrant Pucci silks to glorious handpainted Japanese scarves and everything in between. In fact, I love scarves so much I invented a way to store them so they are easily accessible and don’t get a scrunchy and wrinkled. I hung two curtain rods in my closet, one six inches above the other, and put about 100 round shower curtain rings on each one. I hang my scarves by looping them through the rings so they are all visible, neat and easy to select when I dress in the morning. So, when Zaara released her wonderful Pashmina scarves I was in heaven. Continue reading →
