Right Off The Rack

posted by Gidge Uriza

It’s fun to take a designers creations, especially when they are separates, and to really break them out – stretch how cool they can be, and show their versatility.

But sometimes, you just like the pieces the way the designer put them together at the shop.  I’m sure Zaara didn’t mean for these pieces to go together 100% of the time, but man, they are pretty together. Continue reading

My Love of Frick May Be Naive…..

Posted by Gidge Uriza

….but I love her work.

I love that I can roll over to Frick whenever I’m in the mood for something nutty or different, and pick up one of her fantasy skins – and do so for very few lindens. I had to have this retro pinup skin as it’s called Brigitte – and Gidge’s RL name is the same.

I’m slowly on a quest to acquire things with my name to make an “ALL ABOUT ME” outift. ”

Fricka’s prices are good and her variety is such a treat. I do love all the fun skins. I usually take new player friends over there to pick up “something different” when they have been on the grid a few days. They ALL love it. Continue reading

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

Quick Look:Short and Sweetaholic

Posted by Gidge Uriza

I wore this shopping with Cajsa a week or so ago, and was truly the overdressed fashionista everywhere we went. But I knew it was my last chance to get it worn before the warm weather took over and I didn’t want to wear so much fur anymore.

Who knew? Who knew that there were Kimono’s with Tartans and urban-chic appeal? I had no clue. Until I spied this on the wall at Sweetaholic.

I love the mess of belts supplementing the normal waist – it really lends a modern edge to the dress.

Long Akward Posemaker Appreciation

posted by Gidge Uriza

Stepping up to meet Achariya’s Challenge are probably mostly photographers,  as photography is truly the symbiant love of the posemaker.  But, as a model who spends a great deal of time STANDING on poses, sorting through them sometimes and other times BEING sorted through on them, I actually have some great love for the art.

Sn@tch It Up!

posted by Gidge Uriza

When the big stores have their wonderful, huge markdown sales, I always like to take advantage of stocking up on basics. Sn@tch is one of my favorite stores for picking up different things that make great additions to any outfit. I can’t believe, however, that I had never noticed this sweater, scarf comb that I picked up during their L$50 sale. Nutty! Continue reading

Just a VERY Short Update

posted by Gidge Uriza

I just wanted to post a VERY brief update that the beautiful gown posted HERE did not get pulled at 8am 3/1/09 and will instead be retired on 3/2/09 at 8am-ish. So there is still time! It was continued for one more day.

So – all fashion details on original post. I’m off to bed pretty girls!

Look What You Are Missing……An It's Only Fashion PSA

posted by Gidge Uriza

So due to flickr being my nemesis, I failed in my mission to get this dress posted before it was retired. Therefore – I’m sort of taunting you here today. But I wanted to share some important, fun info that might be important to you if you are a ball gown lovin’ fashionista on a budget.

Lemania Indigo is daily/weekly and MONTHLY now bringing free/dollarbie gowns which she is retiring plus some other themed goodies to her Group Members.  Lemania is known for her big, nutty/fairytale ball gowns that run the gamut from fantasy to ultra-modern – so there is something for everyone’s taste.

Date Night FUNKY!

posted by Gidge Uriza

This was originally a completely different outfit. I had these pants which were BRILLIANT! One leg pink, one leg turquoise and these sneakers that were each the opposite color and it was BAM cool.

However, something went wonky every time I wore the pants for about two minutes, THEY LOST THEIR TEXTURE.

I have no idea, I need to file a JIRA unless someone knows WHY that happens and how to fix it. And yes I rebaked and that did NOT help nuttin. Continue reading
