Bright Lights, Big City

Sadly I could never finish the book Bright Lights, Big City even though I generally like Jay McInerny. Something about reading an entire book in the second person is just too daunting. Still, the jacket from Chantkare is called Brite Lite which made me think of the novel…and then this pose is such a “model” pose that it also made me think of how the main character would look at mannequins in shop windows and imagine they were his wife.  Blog post titles are so hard to come up iwth sometimes and the tenuous connections that create them can be bizarre.  Not bizarre, however, is the Brite Lite tweed jacket.  It’s marvelous and makes me think of Chanel.  I love jackets and this one is just so well structured.

This is not a mellow yellow

No, this is more Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Lektra, one of the new releases at Modern Gypsy, is a bright bold brilliant lemony dress with a fabulously made short jacket that goes with it. Also included in the set are the amber earrings and belt.  There are several color options available, but when I saw this screaming yellow, I jumped.

When Skulls Go Cute

I seriously dislike logo clothing and accessories. Dislike is probably too mild a term, loathe is more accurate. If you cannot recognize good quality design and construction without a billboard announcing it, well that’s sad. If you don’t know that good quality and construction comes in many different price ranges, that’s even sadder. I am puzzled by the popularity of Louis Vuitton’s classic bag. If they want me to carry their advertising, they can pay portage. Give me Biasia, Isobella Fiore or Bottega Veneta anyday. So, you know I have to really love this razorback shirt to wear something with such a huge logo on the front. And I do love it, it’s cute, fresh and fun…and is on every layer.

What's in a name

To be frank, the store Tree and Ocean of Second Life or TOSL is not the most happily named store in Second Life. The first I can never remember correctly and generally conflate into Tree of Second Life which means I cannot find it in search. The acronym always makes me think of those dread Terms of Service agreements.  Luckily loving the store’s name is not a requirement for shopping there because there’s no doubt I love everything else about TOSL from the delightfully quirky store construction to the imaginative and colorful clothing and accessories including the shoes and top in this outfit.

You do know how to whistle, don't you Steve?

You just put your lips together, and blow.

So, I totally owe the title for this post to Grady Echegaray from Strange Pixels who posted the quote in flickr’s comments on this photo.  She was reminded of that hot, hot scene from the movie To Have and Have Not. This look is definitely hot sultry 1940’s – though the individual inspiration is more Burlesque than Bacall.
