We all have balconies in our minds where were stand wondering wherefore art our own personal Romeos the particular ones that captured our hearts. Next time you wander out to question the wisdom of Cupid’s aim, why not look the part and wear this lovely Devotion dress from Evie’s Closet? After all, it’s just like Romeo & Juliet.
AvaGardner Kungler passed me a pair of dresses yesterday, both called Jackie. The black one is above and I am certain I need not identify who inspired the dresses. I love that era’s clothing with the simple elegance typified by Jackie Kennedy. I tried on the the black dress first, loved it and shot the photos for the blog before trying on the second – the Jackie Red which came as a surprise to be because although it was the same cut and style, it was a print – a fabulous pop print that immediately made me want to shoot it too. Not wanting to do the exact same thing twice, I decided to shoot a remix and post them together.
The skirt is from the original Kunglers Jackie dress. I added a sweater from Fleur and a belt from Ornamental Life. Jean Shrimpton was the super-model of the early 60’s. In face, she might rightfully be considered the first international SuperModel – preceding Twiggy by a few years. She was the face of pop fashion and so I decided to style this more for Jean Shrimpton – the Shrimp.
I don’t want to get all dramalicious on you, but I really despise rude cowards who make anonymous personal attacks such as the one posted (and removed) on SL Secrets today. Instead of ranting, though, I thought I might show my support for Analu and her blog and her decision to accept advertising to help offsest the cost by following a SLURL to one of her advertisers and buying something. And look at the gorgeous, frothy and feminine gown I ended up with. So much better than a rant!!!
So…I was think that if you appreciate Analu’s blog and value the fashion news and updates as well as the frequent tips and tricks she shares about windlight, prim editing and the like, you might want to give her advertising a click, too, and even drop the advertisers a line and say you saw them on her blog. If you’re a blogger, perhaps you might want to blog something you find at one of their stores.
If you ever said “When I grow up I want to be a princess” have I got a dress for you. While walking the boots at Relay For Life I came upon DeGroot Innovations and saw this and went “ooh” and then “ohh la la” and then “ooh” again. Yes, this is the dress of childhood princess dreams and grownup fantasies.
Neferia Abel is familiar to most fashion followers. She’s been a successful designer for a long time and just keeps getting better. Known primarily for her stunning vintage wear, a stop at her store Ivalde was a mini-lesson in fashion evolution and history. However, weren’t we all curious what someone with such skill and creativity could come up with freed from the constraints of historical fashion dictates?
We need wonder no more. With Ivalde strong and successful, Neferia has launched a new line of contemporary clothing called L’abel which is seriously one of the cleverest fashion puns ever. When your label is such a clever stroke of genius, your line of fashion better match up and it does. For example, this lovely Marjon dress.

I was strolling around shopping one night, trying to decide if I wanted new shoes at Juicy, trying to decide if I wanted this or that, when I wandered into ICON. Featuring jewelry in sets and bags, and other accessories, I was surprised I hadn’t found them before. The purses are what first caught my eye and somehow I got out with one though! How’d THAT happen?
But I did get THIS! Continue reading

When I lived with my best friend Laura, we were avid watchers of Absolutely Fabulous. One of our great hoots was how Edina could wear the most hideous thing, and she’s whine “It’s LA CROIX SWEETIE!” and Patsy would demur,”It’s FABULOUS.”
We’d do that to one another almost daily, peels of laughter ringing out through our roach ridden apartment.
So it’s funny to me, a bit, that when I put on anything new from Tres Jolie, my first instinct is ALWAYS – “It’s FABULOUS!” and I’m always worried people will think I mean it in that AbFab way…which couldn’t be further from the truth. Continue reading

Okay I don’t have a song. This one is just a quick but I wanted to show you some great free stuff, both hunt and NON Hunt.
The clothes are from Merlynn’s Closet which is new to me. I TPd over on a notice of a free outfit to check them out and I’m really digging the casual pieces she gave away (pictured). The top was available in multiple layers (YAY! GOOD CREATOR!) with different options and the pants are a nice rich texture that has good details. So YAY! I’m not sure these are still free but their quality warrants a visit! I’m totally going back. Continue reading
AM Radio's newly re-imagined The Quiet: The Space Between These Trees presents a moodily evocative setting.
Shhhh, Shhhh
It’s, oh, so quiet shh,shh
It’s, oh, so still shh,shh
You’re all alone shh, shh
And so peaceful until…
The snow leopard coat from Endeavor seems to have been made for the new At Last dress from A-Bomb. Even the attachment points are different so the coat does not knock off the fur trim on the dress.
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
