Not So Mellow Yellow

3 Replies

Forget mood-altering drugs, give me some clothes! Nothing can perk me up faster than a bright print that shouts, “Hey World! Look at me!” and that’s what the print skirt in the lovely Outono outfit from MG Fashion. The skirt comes with 3 perfectly coordinated tops – and I chose the petroleum colored one because I wanted another POP of color and this brilliant pink Dictator Jacket from Digit Darkes was what the doctor ordered. 

This jacket comes in six colors and you should collect them all because they are great add-ons to move a nice outfit from cute to chic and from sweet to scrumptious. Not only that, but they are very versatile as I have shown before – wearing just the sleeves from my yellow jacket to turn an ordinary tube top into a hot, hot number.

Peach Sorbet

Leave a reply

Bianca F always can be relied on for imaginative and fun outfits. She doesn’t disappoint with her super-sexy net skirts that show lots of leg. The skirts come in several colors and I went for the peach – a color that flatters every skin tone. Of course, it also matches my skin tone very closely so the skirt seems more daring than it really is. There really are glitch pants under there, I promise.  I paired it with a corset from PixelDolls. Can anybody make a corset like they can? You can see more on my flickr.

If you go out in the woods today…

Leave a reply

I went for a walk in the woods today and thought this lovely floral challis dress suited my mood perfectly. From ACgirl, It’s actually a babydoll, but I lowered the skirt prim to better suit my preference for dresses with a waist. The woods were lovely, dark and deep… but thankfully I could teleport so it was a quick trip home.

*Sheer* Elegance

Leave a reply

*Sheer* Stockings is one of those stores that do one thing and do it better than anyone. They make sheer fabric stockings in several designs. Gorgeous stockings like the Waves stockings I am wearing with this dress. The dress is also from Sheer, but I would argue that it continues their expertise in working with sheer fabrics. The bodice is made on three layers. If you wear one layer, it’s very revealing. If you wear three, it’s demure. And if you wear two, as I am, it’s flirtatiously seductive. At first glance, it seems demure, but if your partner is really looking at you, he will get an eyeful – front and back. There are more photos on my flickr. 

I wore it to the opening of my good friend, Pielady Small’s show at The Bluffs last night. It was a sim-filling party. She had to send my TP timed when someone left. It took a while to get there, but her work is stunning and worth the many, many attempts to TP in. The Pato Milo Trio broadcast live from their RL show @ Restaurante Bocci in Vallejo, California and the crowd noises in the background really added to the convivial atmosphere of the party.

Kiss the Sky

3 Replies

One of my favorite Second Life artists is elros tuominen – a prolific sculptor and poet whose work is visually stunning and always new. I recently went to the NMC Arts Lab  to see the wonderful work on display in their Kiss the Sky exhibit and sure enough, elros had a few pieces, including this immersive work. It’s much more beautiful in-world than in this photo because no static photo can capture the wonder of a kinetic sculpture. 

Likewise, no photo can capture the kinetic movement of the gorgeous skirt on this lovely dress from Casa del Shai. Let me just say this right up front. “My name is Cajsa and I am a Casa del Shai addict.” Shai Delacroix’s textures have amazing shading and detail. They make you want to reach out and stroke them. 

I kept my accessorizing minimal with this dress, adding only a pair of wood earrings from Ume Mode and Baba Yaga shoes from Enkythings. These are actually the first pair of “good” shoes I bought in Second Life and they have served me well. More photos are on my flickr. Style notes and more after the jump. Continue reading →

She's Got The Way To Move Me, Cherry

Leave a reply


When I saw this outfit on Freestyle a while back I had to run to Honey Soul to pick it up.
So cute, festive and perfect for a day of roaming the hard pavement streets shopping for that next perfect accessory. I don’t normally carry purses but this sweet little cherry bag from Artilleri goes with the shoes and both match the dress – and well HOW was I supposed to not wear them all together?
I’m not sure how much more precious this outfit can get.
If I could have found a set of cherry earrings or hair bobs it might be perfect.  Continue reading →

Butterflies Are Free

Leave a reply

Some of these butterflies are free – a freebie from Baiastice. When I put this lovely, whimsical dress from Biana F on, it struck my how similar in color intensity and detail the butterflies and flowers were to the darling gift from Baiastice and I wondered if they would suit as well as I imagined. Well, I will let you judge for yourself, but I liked it. I liked it even more when I tossed on MiaSnow Myriam’s delicate and fragile Black Dahlia skin. I admit I would not wear it everywhere, but for the right party – I think it’s a great combination.

You can see more photos on my flickr. A more conventional accessorizing of the dress and style notes are after the jump.

Great Gingham's Ghost, Batman!!!

Leave a reply

Okay, that title is a reach, I admit it. But this gingham skirt from AOHORU had me reaching for superlatives to describe it and coming up short. I lovely pink, blue and green satin gingham, the lovely color combination is only surpassed by the quality of the fit and design. The belt rests exactly where it should, the prim skirt attaches beautifully without butt bubbles. It’s so well-made I did not have to nudge and adjust a thing and that sort of excellence deserves a Holy Batwings! sort of exclamation. What does deserve a big exclamation, though, is the lucky fact that AOHARU just put everything on sale for 50% off. Holy Lindens, Batman!!!

The excellence from OAHARU doesn’t stop there, however, look at the charming turtleneck that once again has perfect prim placement for the sculptural fullness and verisimilitude we all want. Best of all, by putting the prim collar on the spine, you can put on a necklace without losing the collar – a frequent occurence since many designers instinctively put it on the chest (makes sense) as do most jewelry designers. The skirt and tops are sold in several colors and in a great fat pack. However, to find the fat pack you need sharp eyes, they are a small white square at the BOTTOM of the shelving unit holding the clothes. Sadly, I found them after I bought a few skirts and tops.

Luv Chocolate

Leave a reply

Wandering the forest last night, this wonderful chocolate sculptie jacket tossed on top of a melon cami kept me comfortably warm. Brown is a hot trend this spring – a popular neutral and with the popularity of tribal prints it’s finding its way into nearly every wardrobe. Some people jokingly say brown is the new black.

Well, I would like to argue for brown being the new black and the old black. It’s a softer tone, less hard, less stark and much more flattering against your skin. When choosing a top to wear with this chocolate skirt and sweater, I tried on pink, blue, yellow, cream, black and melon. I went with the melon, but I could have easily worn any of the other colors. Better yet, those colors next to brown look richer than when they are next to black. Next to black, they will look brighter – and be less flattering and look cheaper. So, what are you waiting for? Get some chocolate in your life.

Hot Night in Havana

Leave a reply

Blue pencil skirt dress

It was a hot night in Havana last night so I threw on this cool silk number in an bright electric blue and added a pair open toe sandals. There’s nothing like tight little skirt skimming your hips to show off your rumba. The dress, Lovinda, by premier vintage revivalist Ivalde, is a perfect figure-hugging dream. Unfortunately, the skirt is not modifiable, so for those of us with the intermittent skirt glitch, it’s not always wearable. Still, it’s worth doing Edit Appearance 6-7 times, when such a great dress will finally rez.
