It seemed like a simple enough plan, I’d go out into the woods and shoot this gorgeous gown from L & S- aptly named Brigette – Dainty which you know tickled me. Of course a girl by herself should be careful in the woods.
After all you never know what matter of demon or beast you’re going to run into, now do you? Continue reading
I am in love with the Jenna hair from Exile released last weekend. If you can only buy one hair style, this should be it. It’s sexy, new and fresh. It’s superb for photos but not so outre that you cannot wear it running around. As Lil C might say, “It’s buck!”
Hair this hawt needs a a dress that is equally hot and the K.I.T. Rue Cambon dress from Mimikri answers the challenge. It’s a gorgeous black and white tweed with echoes of Chanel chic in the cut and form, but with some of the signature Mimikri boldness with the oversize tweed pattern. It’s design genius that flatters your shape up one side and down the other. Put it together with the bedroomy hair over the shoulder and it’s flaming hot.
A few weeks back there was some random muttering and plurking about garters coming from the plurkroom where Roslin Petion was preparing her newest releases for 5th & Oxford along with her business partner CJ Carnot. Now, you might wonder why someone would mutter and grumble about garters, but really, that’s a sign of a perfectionist at work. And what a perfectionist! I am just astonished by some of the details and craftsmanship in the new lingerie from 5th & Oxford under the line Little Miss. In this photo, I am wearing her Audrey Little Miss makeup and lingerie. I love that this skin is so delicate and not hard-bodied. It’s very soft and feminine.
There are also matching slips and stockings. The color I chose is blush which is one of my favorite lingerie colors because it’s so barely there.

I shot so much when doing the shoot for this dress from Sascha’s Designs – that I forgot what it was I was highlighting. The dress? The hair? The skin?
I couldn’t decide – there fore this post must be about them all.
The gorgeous ballgown is yet another brilliant offering from Sascha’s Designs, replete with a host of skirt options, shawl, jacket and top options that make purchasing just one color of this dress an outfit for several nights over. I chose to show you this beautiful peach because I was in a fall mood – but it comes in a rainbow of jewel tones that I can’t say enough about. They’re like candy.
As always the ballgown skirt option from Sascha has gorgeous movement – those of you who love the ballroom scene know how annoying it is to get a great big old gorgeous skirt that doesn’t move worth a damn- obviously no issue here! Continue reading
Applonia Criss dropped a few items my way a couple weeks ago, including this lovely day dress (Kim) that is elevated from casual to chic with some clever embellishments on the neckline. It’s a lovely mauve color – a great fall color that’s less ubiquitous in fall designs. In this shot, you can also get a good look at the fabulous new hair from Exile – Juliette. Exile has new textures that are even better than before, so it’s an exciting time for those of us who love Kavar Cleanslate’s innovation and experimentation with style and movement in hair.
PXL Creations has released Luthien – a dark elf skin – and having no expertise in elves at all, I promptly put on a fairy dress from Fancy Fairy even though something tells me elves don’t have wings. I really wanted to shoot the elf skin with the wonderful Goddess Moon pose prop from Studio Sidhe and assume that a dark elf would be on the dark side of the moon.
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
“There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.”
Pink Floyd
The lovely dress and wings are from Fancy Fairy – the Dew Petal dress in Violet.
I love the cool light of the moon illuminating my shots and frequently shoot in the moonlight. Nonetheless, while shooting this fabulous outfit from Dutch Touch, the song running through my head was Goodnight Moon, the anthem of the scared-of-the-dark crowd. Perhaps it’s because of the Kill Bill 2 soundtrack. The strong look of the dress, the options of black, red or gray (shown) and the tough girl look of the dress have just a bit of the edge that might have someone sleeping with guns, a blade by the bed and a phone in hand.

Well goodnight moon
I want the sun
If its not here soon
I might be done
No it wont be too soon til I say
Goodnight moon
There’s a lot of gray on the grid today as people show solidarity with an effort raise awareness of brain cancer by wearing gray for the day. Cancer is an invidious and heartbreaking disease that can best be defeated by increased awareness which often leads to early detection. Too many of us ignore warning signs and for some, that delay is deadly. I lost my brother to lung cancer in July. Like so many who lose the battle with cancer, he ignored warning signs and dismissed symptoms with mundane explanations – never considering the possibility that it could be cancer until it was so advanced as to be untreatable. America lost Sen. Kennedy to brain cancer last month and we are poorer for it. I doubt any of us have lived lives untouched by cancer. I am happy to lend my support to this worthy cause as well.
I don’t know if a dress as gorgeous as this should count toward that effort, however, since it’s one dress I would happily wear any day of the year. The lovely Mimikri Seduction Dress in gray is just achingly beautiful. It’s a lovely silvery gray lace over a satin sheath with an extravagant lace bow in the back. The sheath is opaque over the torso and hips and becomes increasingly sheer as the skirt moves from the hips to mid-thigh. It comes with a prim sash as well, but I preferred how it looks without the sash.
It’s hot out! Hot! Hot! Hot! Now hot is okay when you can laze about, but not for working…so I like to dress to stay cool such as this lovely cotton print dress from Lelutka. It’s designed to keep me feeling cool while only looking hot.
Elysium Elide whose blog Photographing SL is familiar to all of us who read the feeds has begun making clothing. She brings to her clothing the same quality and artistry that sets her blog apart from most. Her store, Elymode, opened Friday and the clothing is beautifully made and surprising conservative and wearable anywhere and everywhere. I have to express just a bit of surprise that there are no breast-baring options. ;P
I really fell for the Leafy skirt, top and cardigan. The details are subtle and well-planned to keep the clothing suitable for mixing and matching. The fabric is deceptively simple, but zoom close and see the attention to the weave that gives the solid colors depth and luster.
