The Most Elegant Shape – The Sheath

8 Replies

There is no more elegant shape than a well-made sheath dress. I have thought this before, but it was never so profoundly drummed into my head as when I saw the incredibly inappropriate butt-shots of Princess Letizia and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy during a recent state visit. It is wrong that this was the photo published around the world from this state visit – and yet it is an eye-catching and beautiful photo. Now what makes it so is not just that they are lovely women, but that they are both wearing sheath dresses that really accentuate their form. And so, to show you what I mean, I chose another incredible sheath dress, this one from Victoria V.

Black Velvet

Leave a reply

In my experience, velvet is one of the trickier textures to do well in our pixel clothing, so I am so pleased with the lovely black velvet and brocade dress from Prelude. Like everything from Prelude, it comes in an over-stuffed folder full of options. In this case, you have every possible layer option and choices of the level of sheerness in the bodice as well as the option of wearing a jacket or not.  Sweet! Don’t those Maitreya shoes stir up the hotness factor as well?

I wander through Laqroki every so ofter picking up hair because as we’ve established, I’m not going to be satisfied until I’ve picked up EVERY SINGLE STYLE in the sunkissed color (or whatever the hell number it is, Mallory has gone to a numbering system %&%&%$&!)

I had heard rumblings about a skin sale, so ambled over, no real intent to BUY anything but I do like to keep my eyes open, anyone who fashion blogs would agree a good skin assortment gives you a lot of flex in your abilitly to style. Continue reading →

There was a little girl

Leave a reply

There was a little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. Okay, you all know I edit hair all the time, tinting it to suit, moving a strand of hair out of the way for a hat or for a photo, depending on the need. I just always make sure I am working with a copy. Now I have no sorry tale of woe, nothing like that. No, what I have is a sorry tale of not looking from multiple angles. I recently edited this hair a bit because I wanted my earrings to show in an outfit. So there I was shooting this outfit and noticing this curl going in front of my face and wanting to move it, but try as I might I could not select it. I kept missing. Finally, I cam out to see what in the heck is going on…and that one curl was about half a meter in front of my face, just so well lined up with my other hair, I could not see it from the angles I had been looking.  So definitely, I had a curl right in the middle of my forehead and leading by half a meter. Moral of the story: After you are done editing, cam from multiple anges to check for silly things like that.

Modern Mourning

This uber modern look (I enjoy using the word UBER without the umlauts to annoy others) was exactly the look I wanted to honor a friend and colleague who recently died in a car crash.

He was studying fashion design and my little hobby here eventually was outed by our frequent fashion and styling conversations as he was learning to create digitally for school.  Thus, a nonSLer became one of our readers because he was fascinated at the creations and how we styled them.

SLink Sexy for Thursday Night

So I had never been to SLink till Cajsa bought me prim feet the other day. But I was enamored by her monochromatic styles and the rich, jewel tones of her textures.

Consequently I had to go back.  My friend QXI Gears was having an art exhibit (which I did not make SHAKES FIST AT RL!!!) but I wanted something slinky and sexy as QXI does erotic art (which will make your head explode, your eyes pop out and turn you on in ways which disturb you).

So, I decided pairing up a couple of my new pieces from SLink would exactly fit the bill.

So were you like me, and went to ETD and bought every flippin hairstyle she made since god was a boy – back when she had her big sale? And are you like me now buying every damn thing you see that is new? I found this – and forgot I had it.  I thought it was kind of a fun and messy ‘do for the look.

Maybe a little JBF? Continue reading →

Simple, Elegant

So wandering around Zaara I spied her collection of dresses from the Amsterdam Fashion Week and as one who covets that which they do not possess (such as the ability to ever attend runway events bcse of their times) I knew I had to have one of them.

I picked up Melissa and ran back to my house to accessorize it, in love with the slink line (very Oscar de la Renta from a time before you pixels were born) and simplicity of color blocking.

And then I was stumped. Continue reading →

Crickets, Grasshoppers & Grapes, Oh My!

I have been too long gone from home. I completely missed St. Urho’s Day – somehow thinking it was the day after St. Patrick’s Day rather than the day before. Nonetheless, I will celebrate it anyway by wearing this lovely purple dress – from the newly reopened Modern Gypsy. I will pass on the purple beer, but seriously, you have to love a holiday that calls for wearing purple clothing!

Just enough lace to say you’re Lace-Curtain Irish and not Shanty-Irish! (All the Irish readers just screamed at me- shut up my whole family is Irish!) Continue reading →
