Simple, Elegant

So wandering around Zaara I spied her collection of dresses from the Amsterdam Fashion Week and as one who covets that which they do not possess (such as the ability to ever attend runway events bcse of their times) I knew I had to have one of them.

I picked up Melissa and ran back to my house to accessorize it, in love with the slink line (very Oscar de la Renta from a time before you pixels were born) and simplicity of color blocking.

And then I was stumped. Continue reading →

…And It Was All Yellow……

Once upon a time, when we were just two instead of five, my fiancee and I stood on a Florida beach at night, down at the edge of our campsite and danced under the moon and stars to Cold Play’s YELLOW. 

The sound of the water, and the wind through the palms swirled around Chris Martin’s mysterious vocals as well held each other tight and marveled at being in such a place an in love. Continue reading →

So it’s St Patricks day and you’re about to barf from the amount of shamrocks,green tinsel and erin go bragh on the feeds today, aren’t you?

That’s why I posted mine YESTERDAY bishes.

That being said, it seemed appropriate to wear something green today nonetheless, especially if I didn’t want that Irish Curse – the pinch for not wearing green.  🙂

So I thought I’d share one more of my Callie Cline pickups (NO I AM NO WHERE NEAR DONE I TOLD YOU I SPENT ALL MY MONEY THERE SO HUSH!) Continue reading →

Given out by Lemania as one of her plethora of group gifts this one is going to be perfect for all you Irish Lasses and other Lasses who want to play at being Irish for the day.

Just enough lace to say you’re Lace-Curtain Irish and not Shanty-Irish! (All the Irish readers just screamed at me- shut up my whole family is Irish!) Continue reading →

Wearing O' The Green

Oh it starts out INNOCENTLY enough. I think to myself…..’Self, you know where we haven’t been in a long time? Callie Cline. We should just pop over and see what is what.’ So then it just so happens that I arrive shortly after Callie has marked down everything in her store that is green to 99L.

And it starts. The flurry of mad buying because, since I haven’t been in so long – it’s all NEW to me…….and I’m in this shopping frenzy the likes of which would put off a school of hungry sharks.

This coat dress just screams Edith Head to me. If you don’t know who she is….well look her up. You’ll see I’m right. The dress includes a system skirt so you can drop the prim for a sleeker look. It has has several layers on the top (thoughtful thank you!) for my options if you are mixing and matching. Continue reading →

The creator of elegance, Sascha Frangilli, stretched your formal ball-gown’s possibilities with this suit jacket styled blouse for your YOUP gown. I suppose you MIGHT want to put a shell under it if you attended a conference……..or WOULD YOU? Continue reading →

Casual Sn@tch Friday-and a Hair Story

I think Ivey Deschanel is one of those creators who cares too much.  She has this big heart, and wants everyone to be happy. I believe that it is this character flaw  that causes her to do things like this.

Like what? Like create pants and ankle boots that can be worn together with minimal borking.  I stay away from ankle boots because they always look retarded with pants a LOT (poking through the bottoms of flairs etc) so I don’t bother.

The length on the pants and the height of the boot - JUST miss each other

The length on the pants and the height of the boot - JUST miss each other

These metropolitan boots are also a great buy because they contain my favorite versatility feature in accessories – color change. That rocks. 

So let me tell you about the hair. Yes I have a short HAIR story. Continue reading →

Clio’s Blooming Flower dress was the perfect choice to pair with the real flower jewelry from Petal Meg. Spring is just popping up all around me, and I couldn’t resist the tulip inspired skirt that ornaments this festive dress.

And of course I had to add the hair from Elle F because you know. I gotta do that brand new thing! 🙂  It’s cute. Continue reading →

Cajsa Went Gonzo, I Went Showgirl

The Pearls and Amethyst Showgirl Costume from Reasonable Desires is possibly one of the nuttiest things I’ve ever put on. Great big huge flexi prims waving in the wind…..flipping and flopping as you move……

They’re sort of great. But then I wasn’t the one taking pictures, so love to Cajsa for sorting through it. When you are moving, though, vs trying to find a pose, you don’t really run into these issues quite so much.

Before you start shrieking about a seam on my neck, this is a body stocking. Yes, just like a REAL Vegas Showgirl wears if you’ve ever seen one. Continue reading →
