Sascha's Waterfall – No Need to Chase It

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s designs dropped her gorgeous WATERFALL ball gowns on me like two weeks ago, but my ongoing pregnant sloth has kept me from bringing them to you in a timely manner.

So – I thought I’d start by showing you the gorgeous limited edition GOLD color that made me drooool when I put it on.

I can actually hear the rustle of this fabric – and if you ever wore a big girly formal to a dance I bet you can too. There is a sound, a whooshing rustling sound that taffeta, chiffon and even silks made when you are wearing yards and yards of them. The weight of them as they brush past other dresses, or while you dance, makes them give off a sound that is probably indiscernible to anyone but the girl wearing it.

It’s kind of fantastic. Continue reading →

Today’s theme is GREEN.

As in Emerald. As in the viewer if finally just downloaded. I haven’t played with it yet. I’m stodgy and don’t like change. So we’ll see.

Know what I DO like? JEWELRY!  I have been meaning to check out the offerings dropped on me from GANKED in a while- and frankly, I’ve seen other people wearing them and have been impressed but I’m in the pregnancy sloth and have gotten sooo lazy.

I changed that the other day. The second I got these gorgeous, excessive gems on me, I had to go shopping for something snappy to wear with them. Continue reading →

Olive's Mermaid

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

As a child, I had a book of proper fairy tales that didn’t have the Politically Correct and Sanitized versions in it. I still loved the stories – but was always especially mesmerized by the story of the Little Mermaid – who in the story, endured the agony of walking on knives with each step she took on land. This was the price she paid for having legs and being with the man she’d fallen in love with.

Mermaids are always a little sad to me, because of this. Continue reading →

Rite of Spring

Spring is coming. Where I live everything is in bloom and it’s been sweltering warm in the afternoons.  So how else to celebrate the Earth shrugging off winters cold and grey ugliness than to go dancing in the flowers and forests at Oubliette?

I'm an Excellent Dancer

I actually wasn’t paying attention – and wore the shape that came with this costume from Wishbox. 🙂 It’s cute. Continue reading →

Spring Flowers from Baiastice:Big Hair From Exile

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

As we continue to drink from the well of spring releases at Baiastice, I gotta admit this is in my top two faves of her new line. It’s so fantastically floral and retro inspired without any of the kitsch that can come with it.

Ok Ok Ok, I like kitsch – but someone who can pull the look off without it – you haz my admiration. Plus you know, it’s pink and purple which in my world = WIN.

The cutaways at the waistline had me confused at first seeing them on the vendor – I thought she’d modeled them on a freakishly skinny avatar. D’oh! But no, they are designed to make sure that you are glad your avatar does her crunches.

Big hair is always in style somewhere. TAKE THAT HATERS! 

*edited for Winter Jefferson. Yes it said SOMEONE but you know,now it’s fixed. Grrrr.

In Lieu of Baking a Casserole…..

Where I come from, when someone has a death in the family, their friends, neighbors and family come with cakes and casseroles to stock the pantries and fridge so that the mourning don’t have to even consider food -it’s just there ready and waiting.

If you follow me on Plurk you know that over the past month I’ve dealt with the ongoing drama of a 18 year old 4 legged feline member of my family who I loved more than I realized. But as things progressed Silo and I did everything we could do to keep her with us – and in the end, Tuesday to be exact – her 18 years caught up with her and now we’re left to mourn that little ball of fur.

5th and Oxford dropped me the Jori skirts and shirts that same day I plurked about my loss an grief, with the kindest note – saying she knew that some digital threads wouldn’t make up for my loss but that she was thinking of me.

I think it’s a great testament to the community we have amongst one another – we Fashion Mafia members. (yeah you’re a member, don’t act innocent. I see you). Continue reading →

Spring from Baiastice:Indulging My Sweet Disposition

Cajsa and I went rack by rack through Baiastice dividing up who liked which colors so you can expect to see us blogging some of the same pieces but in our own style over the next few weeks. Why you might ask? Because the releases thus far at Baiastice are JUST THAT FREAKING GORGEOUS. Continue reading →
