Sxy2nd is the New Black

posted by Gidge Uriza

My friends Belle Lefavre and Jackson Vantelli had opened the new Sxy2nd sim with all the aplomb deserving the grand opening of such a lovely build. You’re going to find all the high quality creators you expect to find there, featuring their sexiest works and most lovely items in one shopping mecca.

So why am I wearing this? Well, I’m wearing this as my official HOMAGE to Indyra Originals who has a shop at the Sxy2nd Sim – AND I’ve GOT A STORY!

This dress is living proof that magazines (Like Sxy2nd magazine – GET A COPY) work. Continue reading

Belle Lefavre Took Me Shopping

posted by Gidge Uriza

I only have two types of girlfriends in SL. Fashionista creators/bloggers or artistes. Both are bad on my wallet. I usually dump craploads of lindens any time I am out with either set – either shopping WITH them or supporting their/their friends art.

So imagine my delight when putzing along with friend Belle to have to drop me into Wetherby’s which is a new joint to me. I liked the little cocktail-esque gowns they had for sale and the prices were pretty good – until I realized they were selling complete outfits including shoes for only like $L30 more than the regular price of the dress.

Ahem. SCORE! Continue reading

Who Is The Meanest Girl In The Room?

OOOOO! I KNOW! PICK ME! I KNOW I KNOW!

OOOOO! I KNOW! PICK ME! I KNOW I KNOW!

One of the great benefits of living your SL in a swaddle of love and kindness is that no one ever sees you coming when you pull out your real evil self.

But sometimes, it’s fun to dress up your girly girl AV who adorns herself in pink chiffon as much as possible, in something like the COWBOY BOOTS OF  EVIL (god how much do I love Ivey for this name? – I BOUGHT THEM WITHOUT HARDLY LOOKING AT THEM – SOLELY BCSE THE NAME POPPED UP AS I CAMMED AROUND).

The First and The Last

posted by Gidge Uriza

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.

Nordic Girls Need Love Too!

You’re being subjected to more of my vacation mind from when I put these clothes together.  I attended the grand reopening of Myth and was tickled to see this set – so I had to go back a few days later to pick it up. I knew it’d be perfect for some beach strolling or sand castle building. Continue reading

Modern Mourning

posted by Gidge Uriza

This uber modern look (I enjoy using the word UBER without the umlauts to annoy others) was exactly the look I wanted to honor a friend and colleague who recently died in a car crash.

He was studying fashion design and my little hobby here eventually was outed by our frequent fashion and styling conversations as he was learning to create digitally for school.  Thus, a nonSLer became one of our readers because he was fascinated at the creations and how we styled them.

You Are Cleared To Land – An It's Only Fashion PSA

posted by Gidge Uriza

Going on RL vacation sent me shopping for beachwear on the grid and I was ecstatic when I ran into this hot island inspired piece at BOOM. I thought the bikini with the slightly transparent cover up on the jacket layer was a great look and really exotic- a MUST have for my vacation shopping. (SHUT UP I CAN IMAGINE I WORE IT ON RL VACATION).

It was also a great opportunity to take one of Hart Larsson’s PXL CREATIONS Grace skins in Fashion Tan tone for a run. I don’t wear a LOT of tan skins but I do like the warm tone on his.  Plus I like the nipples and the naughty bits on his skins. Where else can you say “Oh my friend does my hoohaha?” and not mean something sexual – except on the Grid? Continue reading
