Glitter Baby Pink Puff

By Cajsa Lilliehook

I was in a shopping mood and knew I would be trekking hither and yon and I surely did, visiting shopping centers from Portland to Milan to Mumbai to Tokyo and ports in between. A girl’s gotta be comfortable when hopping around like that, especially walking from one end of a sim the other to make sure not to miss the little boutiques with great craft, originality and no land description. Paper Couture’s silk wrapped low heels are perfect shoes for long walks, the heels comfortably low, but still fashionably chic.

And then….I could not resist putting on some of my purchases as I went along. First up, I found this lovely purple blouse @ Emery. It comes with black slacks, but then I went to Callie Cline’s store and noticed for the first time that there is an upstairs…and found these pants so aptly named Glitter Baby Pink Puff. They come in several colors, but it looks as though the basic pants are the same and the color differences are in the top and one pants alternate…and that this particular pant i am wearing comes with any color option. 

The find of the day however was this perfectly messy hair from creamshop. Why is it perfect? Well, in RL I fell asleep on wet, uncombed hair (bad, bad, bad) and this is my RL hairstyle today. What synchronicity! I could not resist wearing it.

It's a plaid world

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

Inventory cleaning time!!! It’s a dirty job but we all have to do it. And it’s best we dress for the work at hand, something rugged that can stand up the heavy lifting and flying dustballs of inventory cleaning. Okay, okay, none of that is true, I just wanted to wear my Cordovan Boots. I love their clean but rugged good looks. From Five Minutes After – they are a steal @ 230 Lindens. Much less than your average boot – while as detailed and better fitting than most.

Nothing goes better with great cordovan leather than a nice plaid shirt. Thimbles has some of the best, with prim colors, bright collars and tiny tiny price tags. You can take a peek at more leather lusciousness on my flickr. Additional photo and style notes after the jump.

Kimono Motion

I love Kimonos. I can’t say enough about them, but I’ll try to be concise. They are, in my opinion, one of the perfect feminine garments on the earth. Delicate, ornamental, plain, or extravagant they can fit any occasion.
I can slip into a kimono and attend any event wearing some casual hair and not be over dressed. Or I can dress it up with traditional hair ornaments and other accoutrement and attend a formal event. Art gallery openings, ballet recitals, live music performances – I’m in perfect form wearing a kimono. Continue reading →

Purple Reign

I am rarely given to monochromatic power-color dressing, but when I picked up the fun ponytail at Mau and Mej’s I rummaged around to find something cha-cha to wear with it.  This fun ensemble doubles as lingerie if you lose the skirt and I love a multi-tasker (I’m a bit like Alton Brown in that fashion). 

Now if only I could find a Can Can animation.  I wore it out to an event where my friend was Djing and twirled the night away as it was – glad of the glitch pants as this skirt has BOUNCE.  Continue reading →

Shiny Shiny Magic Pants

by Cajsa Lilliehook

In the mood to explore, i knew I wanted some comfortable pants – sexy comfortable pants, of course. This outfit started around the oh-so-hot Shiny Shiny Magic Pants from Fashionably Dead. Their stretchy shiny lycra is made for sexy comfort. These are pants you can tint in Edit Appearance mode to any shade you desire.  If you go to pick up a pair, use patience scrolling through the vendors. It’s in there.

I paired it with a top from the Zurie pants outfit from Seasons, an outfit i purchased because I loved the top, intending from the beginning to wear the top with other pants. I love the retro sensibility of the top and its bold colors. However, I would rather not wear a belly-baring top while exploring so i added the white sash from the Persona fat back of sashes on the jacket layer and then tinted it in Appearance mode as well. I highly recommend picking up the fat pack – an inexpensive wardrobe enhancer that you will never regret.

This gave the me idea of exploring the tremendous versatility of color-changing purchases in putting this outfit together.  I am a fan of color-changing and do it all the time because most of the red hairstyles in SL just don’t give me that deep red auburn that I want, so i have tinted about 75% of my hairstyles to get the color I want. I also use CW’s manicure that you can tint in Appearance mode for maximum flexibility. 

To stay with the color-changing them, i opted to use CKS’s Bamboomerangs Earrings which can be changed to more than a dozen different options and Fresh-Baked Goods Donut bangles whose base color can be changed with a simple touch. I was tempted to wear color-changing shoes, but really, these Periquita’s suited the outfit too well to wear anything else.

Additional photos of the outfit are on my flickr. Close up photo and style notes after the break. Continue reading →

In A Lucky Chair

While Shopping Digit Darkes

Letter G Rang Out

– Gidge Uriza

 

I won this dress back in the day when Digit Darkes store was known as X3D and she HAD a lucky chair. I was a really new player, following around my linden rich friends when suddenly the lucky chair called out “G”. My friends said “GO!” and so I did, not knowing what I was doing.
By luck alone, I had just won a dress I had been admiring on the wall. I couldn’t believe my luck.

But also being a new player, I didn’t know how to adjust the skirt properly, and my big SL butt was constantly sticking through the belt. So I relegated it to my inventory, sad that I had this lovely dress I couldn’t figure out how to wear. Continue reading →

Dita Corset Set from Chic Boutique

Dita Corset Set from Chic Boutique

posted by Gidge Uriza

I was invited to a Black and Red themed event last year and had an excellent black tulle skirt I wanted to wear. But WHAT to wear with it? It was fortune when I stumbled into Chic Boutique and ran straight into the DITA Corset Set.  Detailed with prim attachment ruffles and rich satin finish, you almost see light shine off of the corset.  When I chose something red to wear for a special holiday photo for my husband, this was an easy choice. Paired with Aleri Darkes DEBUTANTE Hair this was a very festive photo for my sweetheart.   Lingerie I find is too often just small clothes, no attention to romance and detail.  At Chic Boutique they seem to have found a way to truly draw the most delicate nuances from so many of their pieces. DITA is a great example.

Starry Night Romance

Lady Thera's Starry Night

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

My partner and I had a date last night and since he has been away for a week, i wanted a special dress and know he always likes my dresses from Art & Fashion. I knew he would love this one because he was going to get if for me for my birthday, but i had already purchased it.

If you don’t know Lady Thera Taurog’s work, you are in for a treat. Taking inspiration from great artist like Van Gogh, as in this dress, but also Monet, Cezanne, Magritte and Kandisky to name just a few, Lady Thera creates incredible fabrics by reimagining some of their great works. A lesser artist might clone stamp selections of the original art, but if you look at this dress or any of her others, you can see that she recreates the work – in new and beautiful homages to the original.

Now I have never asked her, but I assume Lady Thera likes to dance because she designs ideal dresses for dancing. The flexi-prims are soft and flowing, generously distributed and spaced artfully to give discreet flashes of thigh while you dance. Her dresses are designed with such craft that they retain their flow and soft romantic feeling while you dance.

The dress comes with an alternate top for more casual wear and with gloved sleeves as well. I combined it with dark blue shoes from Aphrodite Creations to match the dark blue in the bodice and a pair of long dangling earrings from Untone.

You can see more photos of the dress at my Flickr. Closer snap of the bodice and earrings as well as style notes after the jump.

DP YUM YUM Brings Fun For Spring

I ran, not walked when I saw the SL Freestyle post about this super cute skirt. It was on a night when I didn’t have much else to do, so I was running the gauntlet of fashion freebies – and this little gem was right at the top of my list. Right around the corner in the store was a collect of muted tone sweaters sold in two packs. I picked up the “reds” collection hoping that one of them would be a good compliment to this skirt – which it is.

One of my favorite things about SL are the conversations you would never have anywhere else. So when my best friend said “Come over and pick out some sculptures for your housewarming gift” I slipped into this ensemble. I think it says, “I’m casually hanging out with a friend while picking out modern art sculptures.”

Or something like that. It’s what I INTENDED to say anyway.

Indira Bekkers Leaf Satin Dress

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

Oh yes, it’s one of the sunny spring days that are all too rare in the rainy Northwest. The sun is shining, the windows are open and all is well with the world. Clearly, my clothes have to reflect that general sense of well-being that comes from a day like today. So what could be a better choice that a fresh leaf green, the color of the new leaves opening on the birches.

Indira Bekkers Leaf Satin dress is the perfect color – the exact shade of a new leaf uncurling in the spring. So that’s what I threw on this morning. The lovely Jade Hydrangea earrings and necklace from Petal Meg complete the palette of spring greens. I hope it’s color brightens your day, too.
