Too Much Fun

Sometimes I put together an outfit that just appeals to my sense of fun and whimsy more than most and I end up wearing it for days, putting it back on after shooting another outfit, just because I love it so. That’s what happened with this outfit, perhaps because of the gloves more than anything…but I did fall for the look and had to treat it to a little more fun with the photo shoot, so I used the Mannequins from Lost Angel – just because they are too adorable for words.

PIRANHA!

posted by Gidge Uriza

The Piranha pocket dress by Bliensen + Maitai is just one more eclectic offering from this very versatile creator.  First off the dress is practical with fun pockets for your smokes and what not 🙂

Second off…….it’s called PIRANHA! Does anyone remember that terrible terrible movie from the 70s called PIRANHA? OMG that freaking movie damaged me as a child, I couldn’t go nightswimming for YEARS because I was nervous.  Those things eat fast!

Luckily, this fun dress has no hidden dangers and is nothing but cute cute cute. It also comes in a black version and they are sold together.

The hair is from Fishy Strawberry – HUNTRESS. I’m all about the braids these days.

It’s a shorty tonight girls…….I’m sleepy sleepy sleepy……..

I should shoot some jammies! No no………go to sleep!

🙂

When I first saw this dress at KA Designs I knew it was a must have because it reminded me so much of a dress my older sister had, one of my favorites. She’s enough older than me to have lots of cool retro dresses that she saved and one was very similar to this except it had capped sleeves and a brown sash waist. It was made with a blended wool challis that was so soft to the touch – imagine blending flannel pajamas with silk and you would get the approximate feeling of how soft and “pettable” this dress was. I am sure that is what explained the sly smile when she said is was her “best date dress.”

I've Got a Little List

2 Replies

However, unlike the Executioner, this is not a list of those who won’t be missed. In fact, it’s a list of stores some fellow plurkers thought have been missed. So…. list in hand I went off shopping and found some real treasures – and believe me, I will go back to those stores in the future. I used some items from that shopping trip to pull together this fun outfit including the truly magnificent plaid pants, or should I say pantz, from Nomine. I added an old blouse from Street Magic and a waistcoat that was sent to me by Ayumi back in May but that I didn’t even notice until last night – a sad reflection on the state of my inventory.

Before Iris Seale was by boss over at Second Style she was (and is) the designer at Punch Drunk. Cajsa and I wandered over to check out the offerings from creators Tenshi Vielle (Crap, Boutique) and Iris (Punch Drunk) and the moment I spied this girly dress I went whipping across the shop.

Summer Nights

2 Replies

When you want to dress up for those hot summer night, sometimes the freshness of icy colors like silver and ice blue can make you feel just a tiny bit cooler. Sure, it’s all in your head, but so is everything else in life.  This Pixel Dolls Limelight corset in silver looks almost like I am wearing ice and that could give you just a little shiver of cool feeling.  The ice blue skirt is from LeeZu and is icier than you think. The Skyline necklace and earrings have an icy look, too. These are from a store I discovered on a hunt – ci:di

Paint Me Purple (Wisteria)

Leave a reply

Okay, this is only sort of purple. I am easing into the big Paint the Grid Purple todo tomorrow with this wisteria colored frock from Couverture.  The shoes are ones I chose as part of my Blogger Appreciation gift from Maitreya – from the wonderful Soho boots. What you could see if you zoomed is that fabric is very similar to the fabric in the jumper.  I could not resist.

So, by the time I signed on last night I was already late for the masquerade party so it was either go as I was or go even later in a costume, so I went with what I was wearing. All the men were dashing and all the women were dazzlings or so I imagine as they all stayed as vapor for me. What rezzed was the food and I took that as a I sign and grabbed a spoon and ate my way through the party.

Indy 500 Fever

Indy 500 fever will be gripping the greater Indianapolis area as the parties and events leading up to the big race are in FULL Swing by now. (ah, I do miss it). Party hopping on Friday before the race used to be a full-on social requirement and the only requirement for being fashionable, was to ROCK the black and white.

I was wandering around Retrology just seeing what I needed and still didn’t have and ambled into this really cute set from Encore. Meeting all the requirements of casual, cute and black & white I decided it was a win for Friday festivities! Continue reading →
