Some designers just pack their folders chockfull – adding clothing options right, left and center. That’s certainly the case with this outfit from CB Designs which comes with two tops, the bllack print and a teal hoodie. It also come with your choice of glitch pants or two different shorts options.
Today is one of America’s big holiday when we drug ourselves into comas with overdoses of tryptophan and melatonin and sheer gluttony. This ensures a good night’s sleep for the biggest shopping day of the year on Friday – and the kick off of the official Christmas shopping season, my least favorite time of year thanks to steamrolling crowds of crazed shoppers and blaring music at all the stores playing the same songs ad infinitum. But today, today is a day to be thankful that the stores are closed and we can spend some time with friends, family and good food.
While my mother was alive, we never had less than 40 people for Thanksgiving because if just my 5 siblings and their children came, we hit 40. But then, she invited every widow, widower and other solitary person and anyone else she could think of so the numbers often swelled to 70 or more. Yay for big houses and miles of forest to play in. So, in order to survive in a fashionable sense, I followed some rules.

It’s one last post before I go under the knife tomorrow. That’s right……Gidge is having surgery. I’ve been so sick for several weeks and finally they’ve decided that it’s surgery for me. Since I’m not one those people who divides their SL and their RL much – I’m Gidge in both worlds…..I thought I’d tell all my favorite fashionistas what has been going on. If you want to catch up with RL Gidge……you can get the scooby-doo here.
Since I’m kinda bummed out, I wanted to post something fun, something that truly made me smile when I saw it and this dress definitely qualifies.
I had never once shopped at Gigi Couture so I have no clue why I got a notice – unless I FORGOT I shopped there and joined their subscribo – I’m a subscribo junkie and join everyone’s 🙂 . Continue reading
There’s nothing that brightens a rainy day like a bright yellow slicker – and the one from Aoharu is a definite day brightener. It’s slick, shiny and I guarantee your clothes will stay dry if you wear it.
This is one of those dresses that really fool you. You see it in the vendor and think, cute, I like it. If you are a fashion addict like me, you might buy it and that’s when the fun begins, because you see, this is one of those dresses that needs to be taken out of the box, shaken, stirred and walked about in. in a static photo, it’s cute. On a moving avatar, it’s stunning. It’s very kinetic – alive with movement and sparkle. I really recommend Raeva’s have store models when the difference between the photos and the reality is this startling.
Never mix plaids. If you wear plaid, wear on only one article of clothing. These are rules that are meant to be broken. Carefully! You can mix plaids, just make sure they are similar in hue and that the patterns are a different size.
I must be hunthausted because when I made a few attempts at the Pumpkin hunt today I could not find anything. Well, I found lots of pumpkins, but they were all decorative and not Pumpkin hunt pumpkins on sale. Oh, well, it’s not as though I needed anything and if I were smart, I would be reducing my inventory. I just enjoy how creative some of the hunt gifts can be. However, I am disappointed in not getting to air my huntastic low-lag outfit for the hunt.
Sometimes you need to cleanse your palate with something different. After several black, red, orange and brown outfits faithful to the season, I decided to cleanse my palate with some olives.
Styling this look started with a coat by Damiani Fashions, shown later in the post. It comes with an open and closed option so I decided to style the coat unbuttoned and set about chossing what to wear underneath.
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, I don’t think so. Not when I get to wear such a clever clown costume as this one – a freebie from Rockberry.
It’s been a long dry spell for us Casa del Shai addicts but the new season brings us some new fashions that have that unmistakable Shai Delacroix texturing mastery.
The dress, Siobhan, comes in 4 color options, including this orange tartan. It’s system clothing making it a perfect dress to wear around the grid with a jacket like this lovely leather jacket from Cachet.
