Hell Bent on Seduction

3 Replies

That’s what this outfit says to me. It’s a conglomeration from several pieces. The top is from a House of Nyla dress, the skirt from Handrawn Machine. the gloves from a PixelDolls dress and the socks from Reasonable Desires.  The idea is not to encourage you to necessarily buy every single piece but to start thinking of dresses as potential separates and accessories as well. For example, I have a gloves folder in my accessories folder and when gloves are included in an outfit, I copy and paste a copy into my gloves folder so I have more glove options available.

Donna Flora Challenge

Leave a reply

Have you ever been to Donna Flora? If you have, you will understand what I mean when I say going to Donna Flora is like that Lays Potato Chip commercial that says “No one can eat just one.” It’s near impossible to walk into Donna Flora and leave with just one item – because there’s so much, it’s so good and there’s such variety. From hair, to jewelry, shoes to dresses, from retro to avant garde, basics to high fashion – you will find it there in plenty. So I am not going to challenge you to “eat just one” but to let us all know how many items get added to your wish list.

This Donna Flora dress is called Carla and comes with a beautiful prim spray of flowers and a ruffled prim skirt – all on one attachment point. This may require editing a few pieces separately, but it’s worth it for such a unique look.

So I looking for Untone Quilt at an old SLurl, I happened on Maple where real life creations are brought into second life – and the photo of the original is shown so you can see how well the design has been translated. Honestly? I think I like the Second Life versions best.  Here are three lively and fun print blouses from Maple.

Boho Love

1 Reply

I love the Boho look – in particular, I love the dichotomy of so much embellishment and decorative effort put into casual wear. I love how Boho looks back to the past, but uses it in contemporary ways.  This begins with the fabulous embroidered satin blouse from Muism. The texturing and primwork are exquisite and it comes in several colors. I love the antique gold color in this one..and I knew the perfect shoes and pants to go with it.

Made For Each Other

Leave a reply

I suppose technically these two pieces, the LeeZu sweater and the Mimikri pants, cannot possibly be made for each other, but even if they had been, they could not possibly make a better pairing. White the cream on cream prints are not identical, they are as compatible as they can possibly be.  I think cream and beige and winter whites are some of the most sophisticated colors and when well blended, they create such an urbane and chic look that the more usual black cannot achieve.

The Redrum Public House and Cinema

1 Reply

Stanley Kubrick fans, rejoice.  There’s a theatre where you can wander around rooms and sets from Kubrick films including the surreal orange and white bathroom from Clockwork Orange, the milk bar and more. Upstairs at the Redrum Public House Cinema, you can settle in to enjoy the film in a comfy little theatre. I was kicking around a bit so dressed for comfort in these wonderful rolled up jeans and Chola shirt.

On the Line

1 Reply

Ah, that’s just a silly title solely drummed up because the name of the dress is Line.  There’s really nothing on the line in this post other than hoping you like the dress and the styling. The name comes from the name of the dress – line. Yes, line, not stripe. Of course, On the Stripe makes no sense whatever, so small mercies.   I really liked this dress the instant I saw it. I love the texturing done on the bodice and the justaposition of cream, pumpkin and mango orange.

It was a dark and stormy night

As the April 15th deadline nears for this year’s Bulwer-Lytton contest, I thought I might encourage you to check out the web site. It’s an annual award for bad writing and by bad writing, I mean really bad writing.  I was reading the 2008 results and laughing and thought you all might enjoy a good laugh, too, so I decided to shoot this great jacket and pants from Ibizarre in a “dark and stormy night” setting.  Ibizarre had a 10L sale on everything on the second floor and not one to resist a great sale, I found myself on a mad, but inexpensive, shopping spree. The black and white print jacket is beautifully made and the striking Fitzgerald belt from Lelutka really sets it off.

Hunting Zebra on the Serengeti

It would take a special girl, a girl with mad skills, a girl with a certain flair, a girl who made the boys her slave with a wink……..to send them Zebra hunting to make her such and outfit.

A girl with really long legs.

Clearly Digit Darkes knows such girls exist. Girls who roam the savannah in lingerie, waiting for their lover to return with more beautiful zebra – for her ever expanding collection. Continue reading →
