It’s Bandana Day – when we remove our hair and don bandanas in a show of solidarity for the many people who lose their hair during chemotherapy. If you have not got a bandana, pop over to Hair Fair and pick up one of the many innovative and fun bandanas created to raise funds for Wigs For Kids, the charity for which Hair Fair is raising funds.

It was kismet, fate, meant-to-be and fortune all rolled up into a nice little ball of coincidence.
I had noted a plurk announcing that Paper Couture had released their fall collection for sale just moments before I logged in that day, so thought “What the hell” and ported over. The place was crampacked with A-listers, some of whom were naked for some unknown reason (my TPV seems to leave people naked a long time for me, so OHAI I’ve seen a lot of you naked lately). I waded through the sea of matte grey individuals for a spot in the room and then began the slow process of camming about. Continue reading
The thing about subways is that they are the ultimate crossroads of life where you will see any and all kinds of people – and all kinds of fashion from the dressed down to the dressed up. I am certainly dressed up with this fab pantset from The Niven Collection. It’s named L U X E and it’s certainly luxe in look and feel. I saw the collection at Modavia Fashion week and really fell in love with many of the pants sets in Scarlett Niven’s collection.
Subways are fabulous places for people-watching if you’re not in a hurry yourself. Sadly, there’s no crowd of people to watch at the subway at Urban Decay. Incidentally, Urban Decay sells this subway station if you want to buy it to rez on your own sim.

If you heard the thundering of stiletto heels at Tableau then you saw the Bloganista crowd all rushing into Paper Couture today to seach for exactly what they had to have.
Or, just buy it all. Continue reading
Kunglers released some amazing work at Modavia Fashion Week, but this is one of the most outstanding with its glorious texture and figure-flattering design.

Marie Antoinette was a fashionista. She’s not the original fashionista because there’s Du Barry and Pompadour. I am sure if we could only find the style section of The Imperial Times of Rome, we could discover Calpurnia’s favorite stola maker. Fashion is probably as old as human existence since we just know that some cave women draped their skins better than others. Still, Marie Antoinette does have the singular distinction of being someone whose love of fashion not only contributed to her death, but to a revolution. I guess it is possible to take love of fashion too far. Sshhh! Don’t tell Gidge!
Anyway, if Marie were alive today, she would shop at Sn@tch, and she would buy this dress. Good grief, it’s named after her. I shot it at Utopia 04-Markus Inkpen. When I choose a place to shoot an outfit, I generally choose one of two approaches. Either the setting and the clothing are in complete harmony, such as a 20’s style gown in a speakeasy or they are completely dissonant such as this bright colorful fantastical dress in this somber sim, apposite and opposite you could say.
This third look at how Sn@tch clothing passes beyond the Alternative label explores a fun mash-up that very editorial and high fashion. The basis is the Swirl & Swing outfit – a top and skirt outfit. I used just the skirt, though, opting to finally try out that Boudoir Black Lace Bodysuit that has been tempting me for the past month.
You could search the grid for a year and not find a better complement to the Boudoir bodysuit than Sn@tch’s fabulous Swirl and Swing skirt in black. The soft voile and lace over the opaque sculpty skirt has the perfect contrast to the lace so that it does not get lost – but also does not overwhelm. Sure a plain black skirt could work, but this is more interesting and more exciting. I love the William Morris-inspired print contrasting with the more baroque lace.
Although my favorite color is green, I don’t always choose the green colored dress since some greens can be tricky to style, but peachy coral colored dresses are irresistible for me. You cannot go wrong. Peach is such a feminine and soft color that always makes me feel good and look good. This lovely dress is a perfect complement to the peaches and cream complexion of PXL Creations Pale Candy skin tone that was released today.
With the release of Pale, all of the Candy skin tones (Tan, Light Tan, Sunkissed, Natural and Pale) have finally been released. The Pale tone is a delicate porcelain – fairest of the fair. The particular option I am wearing is with natural eyes and lips – as bare as it comes and it’s still a beautifully delicate skin.
Believe me, if I am going to get stuck in an elevator, I want it to be a The Ritz in a gorgeous art deco design elevator complete with wood inlay panels that could have been made by Frank Lloyd Wright and glorious overhead lighting. The one thing missing is the man to turn the stuck in the elevator inconvenience into a romantic introduction and interlude. What’s not missing is the gorgeous, luxurious coat and hat – including the extravagantly beautiful and inspired coat from Paper Couture.
When I saw the Hydra necklace from Rozoregalia I knew exactly the sort of dress I wanted to wear with it and began casually looking around for something. The search became more urgent when designer Yumi Pausch released the Hydra Handrings for the Accessory Fair. I knew I had to find what I wanted – a black formal with a narrow silhouette and sheer upper bodice that would draw your eye from the black of the dress to the powerful statement necklace. Seriously, when dressing with jewelry this strong, you want to do it justice.
