Dotty

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.

Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair

Although the braid on the bodice is gold and restrained, I could not help but think of Flower Power when I put on this delightful little dress from Storin. This is actually more than a dress, it’s a suite in that it comes with a short prim to make it a blouse and a coordinating pair of pants – so you have options for that weekend getaway that you pack only in a carry-on. I went with the mood the dress put me in and added lamb’s lovely lovetones hair and then played

If you’re going to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco,
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there

Hearts & Moonshine

This newest design from Moonshine Clothing is called Gem – and how apt that name is for this is a gem of a dress.  The bodice comes on all layers and can easily be worn with pants and other skirts. The question is who would want to wear it with any other skirt than this luscious little gem. Normally I run from fabric covered in hearts – thinking they all look a bit twee. Not this. Partly because the colors are not the ubiquitous pink, red and white  but the fresher green, blue and brown. It’s not just that though, it’s also the fine details such as the lacing on the skirt and the perfect little metal holes for the laces. You would have to look long and hard to find something so fresh, new and exciting – and with hearts on it no less.

Water Spirits

This dress and jewelry set is another collaboration between Unpick and Twinkleberry – and available at the Twinkleberry store in Albero. Named after Ondine, the water spirit, the dress in particular evokes the element of water – particularly with the prim skirt.

I <3 Pixel Dolls

Pixel Dolls has been running a 50L sale for weeks now – discounting dresses one type of clothing one week and another the next.  Since I have always thought their regular prices were a good deal for their quality and thoughtful construction – this 50L sale is more exciting for me than the freebie hunts. You see, Pixel Dolls creates wonderful textures and rich, deep and vibrant colors and makes them on every layer. Their clothing is versatile and wonderful for mash-ups.

lotta lamb

There’s been an explosion of Lamb on the feed lately and in particular this long hair style from Lamb has been ubiquitous. Of course, that always leades to some griping that we all show the same damn thing. First, I think Achariya’s most recent challenge resoundingly trounced that complaint. Secondly, gripers ignore the substantial benefit of having the same hair shot in varied styles in varied degrees of photo quality and manipulation. With that many photos, if there were major flaws, they would be exposed. And lastly, when something comes along that excites this many people and seems to be “everywhere” it’s only because it solves a problem everyone shares. In this case, here we have flowing long hair that comes forward naturally and yet does not plunge into your breasts, appearing below like some appendage of cousin Itt.  It’s got something that people have been wanting and so it’s exciting. This should confirm for you that it’s a great product, well worth buying.
