My Favorite Color

aug16_003.jpg

Green is my favorite color. It’s a good thing because there’s so much green in the world with the grass and the leaves on the trees. I discovered that I need to live in a green environment after a short and unsuccessful move to Montana where I became so depressed that I began sleeping for hours and hours everyday. Taking my nephew on a college tour and showing him my alma mater (which he chose to attend) I came back to life and good cheer with an hour of entering the green grasslands that I love. I will never live in an arid place without lots of green again. I need green! And I really love green when it’s in an adorable little dress like this one from sen*2.  It’s a little summer strapless sundress, but a nice cardigan dresses it up a bit.

Digit Darkes Reminds Me WHY She Was My First Fashion Love

posted by Gidge Uriza

When I was new on the grid, I stumbled into a store that had clothes that weren’t cheap (to an unemployed girl they weren’t). But – they were spectacular. And they were vastly different and BETTER than anything my blingtard friends were sporting.  I immediately fell in love with the possibilities of fashion here on the grid.

That store was then called X3D – and you know it now as Digit Darkes.

I’m wearing a new release from her that she put on sale the other day – the Andreas Dress, in Copper. Like all of her work- it’s stunning, front AND back. Continue reading

Perquisites

Blogging has many perquisites, or perks, that we try to make as transparent as possible so our readers know what may or may not influence us. I had to use the word perquisites instead of the usual perks just because 10 dollar words drive Tenshi crazy. And who can resist the opportunity?  Among the perks are occasional promotional copies, advance notice of some releases and even seeing and having an opportunity to give opinions on items in the process of creation. One perk not often mentioned is the occasional discovery of new stores and talents that come about as a result of a designer knocking on my IM window and saying I am sending you a couple items and hope you will look at them.  And that happened this weekend when Nikki Herron of G&N Quality Design sent me a couple folders, including this freebie that she has on offer for this week only.  I was immediately impressed by the quality of the textures – and the bold sweep of the top. I really love the attention taken with the wrinkles, the weave of the fabric and the weave in the capris.

Dressing2Shop

I think when you’re shopping you should dress well enough that you don’t feel all pathetic and underdressed and end up buying out the store. However, I do think shopping in a ball gown is lagtastic. I like to dress the way I would in RL, comfortably in chic casual clothing with some layering in case the air condition is on. This little mashup of items form Anuenue, Kookie and Canimal is just right. The shoes, by the way, are from Kalnins and it’s worth it to make a size 11 foot copy of your shape and toss in the folder with the shoes for easy dressing.
