IFW10 – All the Pretty Little Horses

Leave a reply

Hybrid Ansar sent me the best gift in Second Life on Friday – a notecard full of places she likes for taking photos that I will be incorporating into my own notecard. When I put on the La Memoire dress from Aleida for International Fashion Week, I wanted shoot it someplace really different and found that at Drill Factory where high in the sky there is an inspired merry-go-round that is the Merry-Go-Round of  Dreams.

It’s an amazing site and I will definitely go back to explore the many hubs and stations of this galactic carnival at Drill Factory.

Inis Caiseal

1 Reply

It’s so easy to find beauty in Second Life – and not just in fashion, but in the landscapes, the art, the music and the friendships. If you look for beauty, you will find it. If you look for wonder, you will find it. It’s that kind of seek and you shall find sort of place. Inis Caiseal is one of three contiguous sims that make up the Alchemy Immortalis archipelago.  Despite knowing it makes me sound inane, I have to confess I love the word archipelago. It has such a funky sound to it. Raise your hands if you like how some words sound irrespective of their meaning!

OKay, to the business at hand – showing off the gorgeous new jacket from L’Abel.  More accurately, it’s part of a suit that includes some quilted knee-length shorts. I am not a great lover of shorts or quilted bottoms of any sort, but adore the structure of the jacket. This is a must have in every color – it’s beautifully formed and carefully made and I love it! The only thing that would make it more perfect is to have the option of a prim for the jacket’s bottom in addition to the system skirt. Then it could be worn with system skirts or with pants. Flexibility is always a win in my book.

Chic Casual Comfort

Leave a reply

Casual comfort can be as chic as anything  – particularly when you use neutral colors that provide understated elegance to nearly every occasion or when you use luxurious textiles that just make you feel good. The neutral brown and beige can be a respite of calm for your eyes among all rainbow colors of spring fashions. The real luxury, though, comes from the use of cashmere, that fabric that makes you feel like your being hugged by nature.  Both the sweater and leggings are from Fishy Strawberry and are great investment separates. The bit of embellishment on the sweater is just a bonus that can help you choose accessories and makeup options.

Not Quite as Big Hair

Leave a reply

Well, Gidge beat me in the Big Hair Olympics – but I think this is a contender.  It’s a style I love from Detour and is called Torrid – a good name because it does seem to just scream torrid, doesn’t it? I like it because it’s full enough and curly enough that it obscures some intersections that inevitably happen and it’s just plain sexy. With it I am wearing a great little top/dress I picked up at the Clothing Fair from Morea Style.

Renegade

2 Replies

Adam n Eve like to do things a bit differently than most stores – and that’s true with their offerings for the RFL Clothing Fair. In addition to the more traditional Ruffles dress you saw the other day, they put out Renegade, a decidedly not the usual RFL pink or lavendar girly confection. featuring jeans and a hot bomber jacket (photo after the cut.) The jeans come with a cute red camo crop top, but I wanted something to tuck in. I picked up this gorgeous top at Apple May Designs at the fair instead and decided I just love it.

Unbelievably, it’s already the last day of the Clothing Fair. Many, though not all, items you have seen on the many blogs featuring RFL items are exclusive to the fair and won’t be available after midnight SLT. If that’s not enough reason to run-don’t walk to the fair right now, there are the magnificent builds that people spents weeks making.  It’s worth the lag, the crowds and everything just to see the wonderful builds.

I bought this on my way to buy something else

1 Reply

I wonder how often folks do this. I went to G. Field to pick up one or two of the darling new spring blouses that we have all been seeing on the feed. Everyone looks so cute and adorable and the multiplicity of posts just shows how wonderfully flexible the tops are. So off I go and the store is full and I am waiting for things to rez and the first thing to rez is the vendor photo for this blouse set – an entire top wardrobe in one as it comes with sleeveless, short sleeve and long sleeve options. It’s a classic blouse style with the maximum flexibility for shoppers who want the most for their lindens. I could not resist.  And could you? My inventory would be so much neater and smaller if it were not for the wonderful somethings I have found on my way to find something else.

It's Raining, It's Pouring

The Old Man Is Snoring!

It’s a bit chilly today with the rain and the wind, so I decided to wear something toasty. The lovely fur jacket from COCO is just the thing. Adding the high-waisted tuxedo pants which are a nice wind-resisting wool will keep me comfy and still chic.

It's a Wonderful Night

It’s a wonderful night
You’ve gotta take it from me.
It’s a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

I love this outfit I put together using part of the Rock Top mini dress from +plus and the asymmetrical skirt from CoCo. It’s a great dance party outfit and deserves a hot night on the dance floor. The top has gorgeous silver studs on the sleeves and a prim chain attaching at the neckline. With such great embellishments, I didn’t feel a necklace was needed at all.

Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin’ on the ritz.

Now seriously, does anything say puttin’ on the ritz like a tuxedo. Granted, most tuxedos do have a shirt underneath – but you know what rhymes with ritz. Anyway, the lovely Tuxedo Jacket and highwaisted tuxedo pants are from CoCo – a store that always seems to surprise and delight.

COCO Christmas

I love plaid and this plaid skirt from COCO is delectable. This is the Royal Stewart tartan and is one of my favorites.  The asymmetrical skirt is one of the best sculptie skirts I have every seen and looks great walking, posing and dancing – the ultimate sculptie skirt test.  The blouse is a present I received last year – a lovely woman’s shirt from Alphamale.
