I am all dressed up for a visit to Candyland – even my shoes are called Candy. I started with the delightful and whimsical dress from The Closet. I love the lovely black frippery around the shoulders, the black and white waist and the lovely ribbon-weave candy-colored skirt.
I have always loved the lyrics to Moon of Alabama and when I photographed this dress from the newly opened Zullay Designs I knew a butt shot or two were in order. It’s that kind of dress, the one you wear when you feel like some flirting. Show me the way to the next whisky bar. Oh, don’t ask why, no don’t ask why.
There’s a new designer on the block. She doesn’t have a big stock with lots of outfits yet, but what she has is delightful and original. I am hoping she develops a good following, is super successful and keeps on making wonderful clothes like these. One of the rewards of blogging fashions is discovering some new and exciting designer that just makes you flip, especially when she tracks you down and gives you samples of her work to review which is exactly what Kimmie Mosten of the new Foxy Moron store at Juicy Del Mar did.

In my newbie-hood days, I was addicted to shopping but also had more than a bit of shopping ADD. I couldn’t always remember WHAT I had purchased. A lot of this I attribute to my former crew who advised me to fill up my inventory with worthless garbage – so that the few GOOD pieces I had, I couldn’t remember their names – or where I got them, etc.
Consequently, I bought some of the same things more than once.
This hair from Cake, and this dress from the former X3D now Digit Darkes is a great example. Continue reading

First I Drink…….
Then I Smoke……
Yeah, I’m in a KISS mood. That quote was for all you 40 year old guys pretending to be 25 year old guys. Or pretending to be girls. Your Mom doesn’t like what you’ve done to her basement.
But I digress.
I recently got the opportunity to meet and visit with Rhaorth from RHA! designs while we were shopping at Zaara. She was talking to someone else when I got there, about fashion bloggers etc…….and you know me. Continue reading
Bliensen and Maitai dropped this lovely necklace on me along with a few other jewelry sets the other day, but with RL driving over SL with a steam roller and my monomaniacal focus on getting through the SLURL Directory as quickly as possible, I have had no time to review anything. But, I do like the set (haven’t had a chance to look at the others yet). They fit well and aren’t too flashy a red (as cherries often are in jewelry.) I had to dig around in my chest a bit to move the necklace up, but that always happens with my jewelry. Obviously I am too tall. Continue reading

I’ve been holding this little gem back for a while waiting for the Cubbie-Sox game. Alas, Cubbies didn’t pull it out, regardless I’ve got a cute little outfit for you sports girls out there. Continue reading

I positively drooled when I saw the PACK of jewelry sent to me by Bliensen + Maitai. I love fun, unusual pieces and the first pieces I fell in love with were the bottle cap earrings and necklace. Great detail on each and every cap is what really makes these a couple of fun pieces to put in your jewelry box for casual or themed events. I was hostessing a rock themed event at MDR and knew immediately that no matter how I got dressed for the night, I was going to build the ensemble AROUND this jewelry.
GHOST is closing its doors today and as a last hurrah is offering everything at 50% off. GHOST is a fun and innovative store. My favorite tights are GHOST’s prison tights. They are available on OnRez. One of my favorite freebies from OnRez is GHOST’s Dirty Snow. So to say goodbye to GHOST, I wore this Lag Fade top and mini-skirt from GHOST. I paired it with tights from Bijou and shoes from Armidi and added some cute jewelry from Bliensen. For full disclosure, I must point out that the jewelry are review copies and different from my usual style, but I thought they were perfect for this out. You can seem lots more pics on my Flickr because I was trying a bunch of different Windlight settings on the skin to see how it responded to light.
