The Rose Theater

dec21_002

A trip to Second Life’s® Rose Theater requires a gown worthy of the venue and this recent release from VoguE Fashion is in all ways worthy. It has the regal red, black and gold colors, rich and strong colors that for centuries have signified formal elegance. The gown has a rich brocade band marking the chevroned drop waist and a bodice of red glass beans embellished with gold threads. Even the lush shoulder fur is dusted with gold. My jewelry from Donna Flora for My Second Box is just a regal and rich and the topaz gems are huge.

Bring On Christmas

Christmas Begins_001

I confess. I’m ready. The events are exploding and there is so much excitement in the air about everything that is new and amazing for the holidays this year.

I love everything about the holidays on the grid, and even on my borrowed square I’m doing a little bit of sprucing up for the happy time. Continue reading

The Little Details

nov29_008

Yves Saint-Laurent once said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” The Ingenue pencil skirt I am wearing is a testament to that truth. Introduced by Christian Dior in the 1940s, the pencil skirt is over seventy years old. The details, though, are what make this pencil skirt serve both fashion and style. The row of small round buttons up the banded high waist are the kind of details you look for when you want something fashionable and eternal.

Speaking of details, the top I am wearing comes from a dress released by Les Petits Details for the With Love Hunt that opens tomorrow.  The French Dress from LPD has a short mini-skirt and a fabric bow, but I was in the mood for something longer and sleeker.

Monday Can Be Date Night Too

Morning 11.26.12

I started getting dressed for a romantic evening and after slipping into some new pretty lingerie I found on marketplace I got stuck on my jewelry. I dithered for about thirty minutes about what to wear and then it hit me. Continue reading

Countdown: Where Have You Been All My SLife?

nov11_018

Browsing through my contacts on Flickr the other day, I saw a batch of vendor ads from Countdown. They were so stunning, I didn’t just make a note to go check it out, but instead logged in right and snapped up a few of the dresses. Countdown is not new, but it is new to me and that makes me ask, “Countdown, where have you been all my SLife?”

Could there be designs more suited to draw me in? Look at the classic lines combined with the modern details like the sheer chevrons that embrace the belt and highlight the waist. The sheer elements at the neckline and waist flirt with sensuality, but never stray close to the line.

(Note to Designers: This is why you put vendor ads on Flickr.)

My Morning Was Full Of Wins and Fails

Kick It Up

It’s typical, that life hands me something awesome and then gives me not awesome along side it. I’m not sure if that’s karma I’m burning off of simply the run of things but just as soon as I’m ecstatic about a temp spot to live and shoot pics, all my pics today show up with more grid lines than ever in them.

See how I cropped that vertical one above? I’m pretending it’s intentional. Go with it. Continue reading

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

House Hunting For Me and Sophie

Searching for land is nearly impossible. Not because there isn’t any. I am old enough to remember when people made fat cash off of land. But now, it’s because, there is so much – how do you wade through it all? Whole continents for sale 512 at a time? It’s mind boggling. Continue reading

In a World of Gray

oct24_003

When I unpacked the gorgeous vintage-styled Vale dress from Donna Flora, I knew I wanted to style myself completely in black and white. A noir avatar in a pixel world. The effect was a fun combination of chic and shriek that had me heading to Silent’s haunted house for some pictures. The dress is a classic fitted bodice with a tulip skirt. Its most vintage elements come from the bolero jacket with the wide rounded lapels and the puffed shoulders. The floral corsage pin adds a bit more retro styling.
