Many of you might be aware that Teagan Blackthorne and Laynie Link recently re-invented their design house and launched the TEA LANE shop with new designs. I have been remiss in checking it out (It’s totally on my list) but Laynie was good enough to drop me some goodies to check out the new offerings.
Cowl neck sweater dress? MATCHING BOOTS? YAY! Continue reading

Well…….I do.
Casual wear in our world consists of pants and tops or skirts and tops – just like RL. So yeah, it can get tiresome to see tank after tank after tank paired with this or that. Which is where patterns and textures come in so nicely.
For me, this ensemble at SHAMELESS was an easy sell, the skirt is simple and unobtrusive (prims skirts have to be eye-catchingly brilliant or very simple in my opinion) and the top is a fun print. Continue reading

……When I am so CLEARLY dressed for the ball!
Yes ladies, I’m totally stricken with the plague. I’ve neglected all my blogging responsibilities in favor of some serious sleep, and pillow drooling. Surprisingly, the pillow drooling has not been as therapeutic as I’d imagined.
But I digress……. Continue reading

So I’m sick. In RL. I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say that there is snot, a sore throat that disallows proper speech and hot burning ears. There is also some coughing.
Consquently, I’m bitter.
When rifling through for something to put on for ambling around the grid the other night, the only thing I wanted was SOMETHING WARM. I remembered something wonderful that was distributed by Peppermint Blue (and I believe might still be available on the wall at the SilkRoad Location) – this awesome winter outfit from Izumiya.

A lot of role play areas have great items that are fantastic for costumes. Not to be missed are some of the Egyptian role play areas (seriously just search EGYPT) where some of the most lavish costumes I’ve ever come across can be found.
I hunted for an Isis or other Egyptian costume for a party earlier this year and scavenged all over the grid looking for the one I wanted. Part of my challenge was that I had fallen in love with this hair from Tekeli Li and didn’t want to wear different hair but the costumes I found had hair that REALLY had to be worn with the otufit.

To celebrate my starting a new RL job after having been downsized back in July, Cajsa took me to one of her guilty pleasures, Chambre du Chocolat to buy me a dress of a present. I spent about a week looking for hair to wear with it. I couldn’t decide – up-do? Short- do? When I ran across Chelsia at Damselfly I knew I’d hit on the perfect compliment to this truly stunning dress. Continue reading

There are lots of way to kick up the elegance of dreary old brown and this dress from <3 Cupcakes is a great example of what shades of brown can bring to the table with regards to elegance. Muted browns and beiges make the Fiona dress almost easy to not notice, it’s so subtle.
Throw on a set up heels, some pearls and sweep up your hair and you’ve got an elegant evening in the bag.
And good grief, did I forget to do my nails? Lord what’s next? Forgive me Fashionistas…….I’m only human too!

Jewelry with religious tones is always fascinating to me, be it an Ankh or a Cross or something from the east (okay technically the ankh is from EAST of me but I’m thinking EAST of that). I like especially like wearing Celtic Crosses (that’s the Irish in me) and this stylized Celtic set from Earthstones is a great modern take on an intricate traditional style. Featuring earrings and a necklace in a variety of tones this casual set makes a very subtle stylish addition to this casual outfit. Continue reading

When searching for different Halloween options, I picked up several last year that were just casual fun and this Barbie Princess dollarbie is still one of my faves. I picked it up on ONREZ but it’s still available at her in world store. Continue reading

I had to share the latest release from Foxy Moron before I ran off to do the real life shuffle. Decked out in nebula colors – IRIS in Sunset from Foxy Moron reminded me of both flight and an elegant ball. I added the rather disheveled Wish 2 hair from Cake – and told Cajsa I was fleeing my date. 🙂 Continue reading
