Oh yes! This dress from MiaMai is made for clubbing and if only I had not laid down at noon and slept the entire day away yesterday, I would have worn it to the Velvet for Maht’s sure-to-have-been fabulous music set. I know it must have been fabulous because I slept through it and missed the entire set. This fever I have had this past week has really kicked my ass. But I am finally starting to feel better and so I was able to snap a few photos last night.
I know I have been a lazy blogger this week. I’ve been sick and logged in yesterday for the first time since last Tuesday. I snapped a few pics of this outfit I put on Monday night and shopped a bit and that’s about it. I wish I felt as good as this outfit looks. I am combining some pieces from Ingenue and StoRin two stores with very complementary aesthetics and design interests. Both Betty Doyle of Ingenue and Annah Whitfield of Storin have a strong dedication to producing classics that will stay in fashion for a lifetime. You see, Heidi is wrong when she says “one day you are in and the next day you are out” because if you’re a classic, you may not be “in” but you are never “out.”
For a store with a name like Skin Flicks, the clothing is amazingly classic and stylish. That’s certainly true of the new Hallie sweaters and sweater dress. I am showing off the lovely sweater dress is seafoam green. It’s a delight.
I hopped over to watch the Musashi-Do Fashion Show yesterday and wanting to be a good audience member, I dug in my closet a bit and slipped into a lovely bit of low arc clothing from Ingenue. The dress is Mama Loves Mambo and you know what, I do love the mambo. It’s a sexy shimmying song perfect for figure-hugging dresses like this one. The lovely sash down one side sways to the music and adds a lively touch to your dancing.

If a fancy cocktail gown is what you are looking for, Ingenue has shared this lovely gown Fraxinus that is perfect for a dressy cocktail look. I love the bright crimson red.
This one is just a quickie – again the suit is the awesome tux from Musashi Do on my hubby Silo. Versatile – isn’t it?

We have an arctic front that has those high, whistling winds that just sound cold even when you are indoors. Sure enough, I started reaching for the warm and cozy clothing so that I could be comfy cozy vicariously as well. The bulky, knit Jackie sweater that is sure to be huggably warm is from MiaMai. The aubergine cigarette pants are from Ingenue. And of course, cold weather is when you want to stay inside. You will surely enjoy this special live concert recording of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing that delightfully sexy song – and extemporizing to make it even more fun than usual.

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Okay, so the lyrics of Born to Be Wild should not be what I think of when wearing a vintage pencil skirt, sweater or a houndtooth trench coat, but guess what – they are.
But seriously, this clothing only sounds staid and sober. It looks hot and it is born to be wild.

I’m online so intermittently lately – sigh. I MISS everything. But I got sooo lucky that I caught this release from Ingenue. I can’t say enough about how much I always LIKE Ingenue when I wear it – and I should freaking blog them more.
I’m a huge fan of a well made system skirt with gorgeous, rich texture and this classic retrol styled GENE dress doesn’t disappoint. This color or the red it also comes in would make a totally AWESOME holiday party dress. Continue reading
