Quick Look:The Dressing Room – Baiastice

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’m layzeee. I’ve had this dress for days and I know the whole planet blogged it by now.

I also don’t care. Because there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, except maybe booze, as there is certainly a point that is too much of THAT. But since pixel fashion won’t poison you – I thought I’d still share this beautiful cocktail gown just in case you’ve been asleep a few days. You need a new cocktail dress anyway. Go get this one.

Available at The Dressing Room from Baiastice. At only $L70 it’s an incredible steal.

Inis Caiseal

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.

Eleganza

2 Replies

Shai Delacroix is back in a big way. After taking a short hiatus from designing and producing new clothing, she has released three new pieces in the last month. In contrast to the bright summery swimsuit and sundress I blogged about the other day, this newest release is all about classical elegance. Reminiscent of Grecian gowns, her new Eleganza is all about elegance in form. The color of the cocoa one made me think of another of the Utopia World Expo sims – Utopia01 – no love.

Utopia01 is a beautiful sim with the rich turquoise landscape. It requires patience as it’s no fly and the walk way appears in front of you as you move through it – so don’t walk to fast or you will fall in the water. To see some other people’s visions of the sim, there’s a nice selection of photos at KoinUp.

Still There

5 Replies

The new Times Square Tribal dress from Shiki struck me as another that dress that would benefit from the wild, lonely setting of Marcus Inkpen’s build on Utopia 4, so I flew over to another corner of the sim for a few shots of this extraordinary dress and that extraordinary little island.

There’s something really haunting about how this island rises with the stairs to the house and how the island is anchored by that chain. There’s also a certain tension with the laws of physics suggesting its imminent collapse. Add to that how from this angle, the arching stairs seem almost like the island’s vertebrae leading to its head – in the form of the house and you can’t help but think that the chain is restraining the dragon that is the island.

Etheria

3 Replies

I know Gidge blogged this lovely combination for Etheria just the other day, but I did choose a different color – going for Copper all the way. The dress is Fae from Lark and the coordinating jewelry from Dark Mouse is also called Fae.

The fun thing is that Faery Sola who knows a thing or two about fae, just sent me some new poses from her Studio Sidhe and I just had to shoot it all together. By the way, if you’re like me and don’t know much about faery realms beyond what’s in the Harry  Dresden books, I asked how to pronounce Sidhe and will let you all now that it’s pronounced like she which strikes me as really cool for some reason.

Wingless Fae

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

The Collaboration between Lark and Dark Mouse brings us FAE in gown and jewelry – a gorgeous set that truly screams for me to put on some wings.

And did you know I used to be a Fairy? I did!

But none of my wings matched.

And I’m lazy.

So I didn’t go wing shopping.

But Lizzie did.

The gown and jewelry come in multiple tones each complimenting the other – I chose to wear gold because I was having a very blonde day and my blonde girl likes gold.

These two pieces are offered at the Etheria event which is still going on until the 20th . Continue reading →

Sometimes the Fabric Reaches Off the Shelf

3 Replies

Sometimes the fabric reaches off the shelf and takes control of your hand, purchasing itself because it knows that you want it. You are trying to be sensible and tell yourself you have spent enough, but the fabric knows better. It’s beautiful, it has that lovely two-tone subtlety that speaks to you and it knows you love it. That happened to me when I saw this Laish dress from Lelutka.

And of course, one I had the dress, I needed a jacket that would look good with it, so I also bought the Biyaca Bolero. It took just a bit of editing to make  it work  perfectly and not intersect with the dress prims.

Wear Sensible Shoes

While exploring rocky terrain, I think that it’s better to protect my pretty pixel feet and thus was completely stoked when my girls at A-Bomb brought out these AWESOME boots!

They are unisex boots with the excellent color change feature I love in all of their shoes. You can click HERE for their blog to see all the goodness. Yay for options. Continue reading →

Blazin Hawt

1 Reply

Lelutka has several new releases that are quite exciting and fully in the Lelutka tradition of à la page fashion. My favorite of the new releases is the Blazin dress made of layers of ruffled folds. The fabric texture is amazingly detailed and so real you want to touch it. I chose the peach version of the dress because it’s one of my favorite colors – a color that just always looks good. However, there are many colors, some soft like the peach and other electric colors like yellow and purple. I can imagine purchasing this dress in several colors and even mixing and matching, perhaps wearing the top tier in another color. [Update: You can see how well that can be done by taking a peek at Nina Fessbinder’s combination of Blazin in yellow and purple.]
