Hot Weather Blues

Leave a reply

It’s too darn hot!
It’s too darn hot!
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight,
Refill the cup with my baby tonight.
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight,
Refill the cup with my baby tonight,
But I ain’t up to my baby tonight
‘Cause it’s too darn hot

It’s too darn hot for much of anything – even sitting at the computer to blog this is too darn hot. Dressing for the heat – in the lovely new releases from Indyra Originals – there’s some relief in the hot weather clothes – but it’s still too darn hot.

I Feel Dotty, Oh So Dotty

Leave a reply

I feel dotty, oh so dotty
I feel dotty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight!

Well, it’s not a perfect fit for the I Feel Pretty lyrics, but this Princess Dotty dress from Modern Gypsy is definitely dotty, witty and bright, so why not? It’s certainly a fun way of looking at it.

Hey, did you happen to see…

Leave a reply

Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl…? This photo of Gidge made me think of the old Charlie Rich song except the rest of the lyrics just don’t make sense for the post or our friendship so I think I will only borrow half the first sentence.  How’s that for arbitrary? There’s nothing arbitrary about this skin, though, and the classically elegant beauty it portrays. It’s an upcoming release from PXL Creations and I would love to tell you when it’s coming out but frankly, PXL skin designer Hart Larsson needs to have a sit-down with Voltaire. He’s made 8 new iterations since this one – all improvements, though most too subtle for me to see. However, it won’t be long and I can’t wait to see the makeups.

The two of us are wearing lace dresses from Choramimi – a new-to-us store we found at Switch, the shopping sim. I finally dragged her to eha and she loved the hair. Then we ran around looking at other stores and found some lovely things like these dresses at an uebelievably low price of 77L each.

Inspiration

2 Replies

This outfit highlights two Accessory Fair participants, Ticky Tacky and Dahlinks – as well as the outstanding dress from Agnes Finney for the memorial fundraiser For the Love of McQueen.  I confess that the moment I saw the Agnes Finney Dress Mayur, I fell in love with it. In many ways, I even prefer her dress to the original McQueen dress that I think inspired it. I also think it is a beautiful illustration of the difference between inspiration and plagiarism.  You can see elements of the original within the Agnes Finney design, but reimagined in such a way that the new design is distinctive and completely divisible from the original.

Heidi Is Wrong

1 Reply

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.”

Say Yes to the Dress

Leave a reply

One of the silliest reality shows on cable is ‘Say Yes to the Dress” about the ups and downs of selling wedding dresses as a high end New York retailer known as Kleinfeld’s. It’s inane, but I had to watch it once just because I loved the name of the show. I love to say Yes to the dress – and it’s so easy when the dress is as lovely as this Wilder gown from MiaMai.

Dotty

Leave a reply

VUI is new to me, a store I found across the street from another shop I was at. Wandering outside a great shop is a good way to find more and that’s what happened this time. I am a slacker, though, when I saw the style of clothing I sent LMs to a couple friends and one of them has already blogged the store twice! Sadly, she has deleted her blog so I cannot give you the link.

I already said I like polka dots yesterday, but just to drive that home, look at this lovely cocktail dress from VUI. Now, it takes a completely different approach to dots – but one that’s equally valid and also manages to produce a look that is both cute and elegant. Two looks that can often be achieved alone, but not as often achieved together. The dots are cute and so is the skirt pouf, but the smaller size of the dots and longer length of the skirt add elements of elegance.  A dress to make me really happy.

Fierce Fashion

Maleficent from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy

I know I have been featuring a lot of Modern Gypsy lately, but I think it’s clear by now that we are guided more by our tastes and whims than anything else. I love fashion that is fierce and uncompromising – that takes risks, that is sometimes outlandish. I love the avant garde, design that pushes the boundaries of form and function, but not the boundaries of taste.

PAndora from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy

Modern Gypsy is all that. Micah makes beautiful gowns and dresses. However, some of Micah’s collection is more than clothing, some are sculptures. You can see that quite clearly in these two very stylized pieces.
