Falling In Love Again…With Fashion Week

2 Replies

sept30_004

It’s AVENUE Fall/Winter Fashion Week and the event kicked off with 3 shows yesterday and will continue all week. Check out the calendar here. The fabulous Kungler sisters had their show yesterday. There are some big surprises for long time fans, such as this ultra=metropolitan dress in cream with metal accents. Its shape seems loosely inspired by medieval court jesters with the turned up collar post-modern jester’s collar and the pleated and banded sleeves that are a modern, urbanist reinterpretation of the medieval jester’s sleeves. There’s nothing medieval about this dress, though. It’s as modern as can be.

I added the over-the-knee boots that are still available at Collabor88 for a few days before their release at ISON. I love the buckle above the back of the knee and like how the strap width is similar to the width of the metal straps on the sleeve. These boots come in several colors, each as tasty as this fresh cream.

Saturated

I love the rich, saturated colors of Aux’ Studded Cocktail Dress for Collabor88. I had the hardest time choosing which one to wear because they were all like jewels in an imperial treasury. What finally helped me decide was finding which of the Baistice Winter Leggings with Spikes I liked best with a dress. Those studs in the color called out for more metal and that’s the way I went.

The Challenge is a monthly design challenge put forth to various Home & Garden Designers from across the grid. This time around the challenge was Black and White themed, and I felt with all the Glam of Collabor88, as well as The Black Fair, it was fitting to post something from it.

Helena Stringer - IOF - Love Donna Flora - 3

When I first heard and then read about the Donna Flora event, I cried, I really did. I don’t do it often, but it really hit me. I cried a little again, when I realized I missed the cutoff date for applications for designers.

So I shopped instead.

I have never had the opportunity to talk with Squinternet. I’d sometimes see her setting up vendors in the shop, or out and about at events. I do however know her store line personally, as I have acquired many pieces from it over the years.

Some of you may know me, or of me, some of you may not, but one thing that can be universally seen in many of my posts is my love of colour. I also love period and retro styles. Donna Flora was one of those places I could go, get a Purple/Orange/Red patterned dress, grab gold, like real looking gold jewelry(so hard to find) and come out not looking like a clashy mess.

Can’t put it aside any longer!

Hi, I’m Helena Stringer. I was invited to blog on here by Gidge, way back in march, fully intending to start posting. Many thing got on the way. That is what happens when you run a business in sl, everything else comes second. I also had wanted to do this awesome intro, and kept scraping outfits.

I decided not to put it off any longer, and while this may not be the outfit I would have chosen for my first, I do feel it goes well with some of the more recent posts here on Its only Fashion.

This was what I wore for Bandana day yesterday. I know, I should have posted it yesterday, but alas, it was not to be. I feel it is still fitting, as I am also wearing a dress from Donna Flora. Anyone following this blog knows that there is a Charity Event going on right now for Squinternet Larnia, Designer/Owner of Donna Flora. You can read more about that HERE. I’m also wearing a bracelet from Lazuri, which is discounted at the event, with 100% of the purchase going to the charity.

I will be doing my own very special post for Squinternet at a later date, so I will offer no deeply moving words at this point in time. What I will say is that there are price ranges for everyone at the event, so if you have a few L$ to spare, please stop on by.

The lovely button-front shirt is from Kunglers. The jeans are from The Plastik, they come in more colors and prints than I can count. I suppose the lyric is maudlin, but Mother’s Day is a hard day for me. I miss her every day, but some days are harder than others.

Going For Baroque

Leave a reply

Yes, I went for baroque, combining a sweater, skirt, collar, leggings and jewelry for a lace on lace style that is as extravagant as it is elegant.  The skirt I have worn before, a favorite of mine from Baiastice. It is just the right length and has a nice high waist to fit well with so many tops. The sweater from h.m.a.e.m. is divine and cleverly comes with the alpha in two lengths in case you want to show some midriff. She made a black sweater with white lace also and I may go back and pick it up.  Continue reading →

Sometimes I will come across an item in a store that is far out of my comfort zone, but still irresistibly appealing for some reason. That happened when I saw this very revealing and outré bodysuit from Diram. However, appealing as it was, I needed to change it up a bit for me to wear it so I added this adorable mesh skirt from Peqe. I loved how its bold prints contrast with the stripes of the body suit and the interplay of its softness with the bodysuit’s harder lines.

Cars Are Cars

I will be DJ’ing at The Velvet at Noon today – a Rez Day party for a much-loved resident who frequents the club. What is so amazing about him is that he has never said a word. He just beeps or honks the horn of his car avatar, yet manages to communicate approval and welcome. Most of all he communicates joie d’vivre. He joins in events with gusto, finding super-sized sunglasses for his windshield for the beach event and flower for the Valentine’s Day Party. In this chat-centric world we inhabit, his life as a nonverbal communicator is performance art of the highest level. So, he turns 1 today and we wish him the very best and many happy returns.
