Tupelo Honey

2 Replies

You can take all the tea in China, put in a big brown bag for me. Sail around the all the seven oceans, drop it straight into the deep blue sea. He’s as sweet as Tupelo Honey. He’s as angel of the first degree. He’s as sweet as Tupelo honey. Just like honey from the bee. That just happens to be the song playing on my Itunes as I post this and it also happens to be one of my favorite songs. Although it’s a Van Morrison song, I am listening to my favorite cover of it by Cassandra Wilson and it’s just a meltingly beautiful song. It’s such a romantic song.  Whether it suits this sexy little dress, that’s for you to decide. I like it so well, I think it suits everything.

Shiki Designs released ten fun summer dresses. Gidge and I showed you two in the post highlighting our new shoes from A-Bomb. Here are six more, showing all the lovely floral prints and three of the five colors of the lace dresses – all but gren and blue. With them I wore the lovely new Victorian Ankle Boots from Juicy in appropriately juicy fruit colors.

Sascha's Waterfall – No Need to Chase It

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s designs dropped her gorgeous WATERFALL ball gowns on me like two weeks ago, but my ongoing pregnant sloth has kept me from bringing them to you in a timely manner.

So – I thought I’d start by showing you the gorgeous limited edition GOLD color that made me drooool when I put it on.

I can actually hear the rustle of this fabric – and if you ever wore a big girly formal to a dance I bet you can too. There is a sound, a whooshing rustling sound that taffeta, chiffon and even silks made when you are wearing yards and yards of them. The weight of them as they brush past other dresses, or while you dance, makes them give off a sound that is probably indiscernible to anyone but the girl wearing it.

It’s kind of fantastic. Continue reading →

Merry Magpie

Continuing coverage of the Accessory Fair moves on to Magpie and the delightfully colorful Magpie. Magpie is a perfect name for a jewelry store – what with the well-earned reputation of the birds for their love of bright and shiny things collected to feather their nest. Any self-respecting magpie nest would be proud to have these lovely blue and purple gem flowers brightening its nest, that’s for certain.

It's Not Raining in SL

Leave a reply

Oregon weather is so consistent. It’s warm and pleasant and dry for the summer and it’s cloudy, rainy and cool in the winter. It comes in two flavors and the one that’s on tap right now is not weather for this dress. Luckily, in SL I can be in any climate I feel like with a quick teleport from spot to spot. Snow, rain, tropics or jungles, deserts or forests, cities or castles – what you want you can find.  So, when I saw the lovely new Poppy skirt at Sugarcube I did not hesitate to pair it with a very summery top from So Many Styles.

I made the tiniest of concessions to reality by adding a short little velvet shrug from Adam n Eve, but seriously, if your jacket does not cover your midriff – it’s worn for fashion, not function. And clearly, fashion leads the way with that lovely silver embroidery and the adorable little hood. The jewelry is from Puarangi Design – though I have had this set so long it’s labeled Hi-Flo from the stores old name.

I got this fun new hair from Simply Britnee – Bday 2 – and after trying on every single colour I was feeling the brunette within me. Plus, I had this sudden urge to dig in my inventory and see what shook out.

I AM Able To Wear These Boots Clothed, Also

The high waisted skirt from Luck Inc put me in a piratey sort of mind and it was a short walk to a piece from Indyra Originals – part of her Armada outfit. I just needed the blouse.  I was going to wear the jacket but I was in more a poofy shirt kind of place. Continue reading →

Hark! Hark!

Well, I am probably not singing at heaven’s gate, but I am wearing a heavenly dress from Lark, so I don’t mind stealing a phrase from Shakespeare. Hark, hark, the Lark dress is a great find and in a gorgeous plaid.  For added cuteness it comes with a pocket prims and  a pose hud with hands in pockets posing.

I do love polka dots so could not resist the new dress from A-Bomb, especially with such a flirty skirt as this one. The rhinestone belt buckle kicks it up a notch, making it a delightful fun dance dress.  It’s definitely one to “shake, baby, shake.”
