Cocktail gowns are requisite for all fashionistas and a great place for pick-ups is Wetherby’s. At Wetherby’s she runs great freebies as well as always offering super prices on shoes that coordinate with her dresses. SWEET! Continue reading

So this is a true tale of my night on FABULOUS FASHION TV the other night. I dressed in SN@TCH from top to bottom, solely because I wanted to say SNATCH on Angie’s show.
Childish I know – but it was giving me the giggles thinking of it. I figured if my shirt, shoes and pants were ALL from SN@TCH I would work it in. I have the maturity of a ten year old boy – yes I know this. But then the gravity of the fact that my ultimate fashion diva idol DIGIT DARKES was there set in, and HOW WAS IT THAT I WAS NOT WEARING HER CLOTHES AS AN APPROPRIATE FANGIRL SHOULD ?

It never ceases to amaze me that I don’t own all of Pink Outfitters. They sell amazing, solid and femme seperates in addition to sweet little numbers like this one.
My old boss would’ve told me to send this girl home, if she came to work wearing this dress. When I said “Why?” She’d have just said “Meow.”
It took me forever to figure out that she meant the skirt was “too short for work”. Continue reading

I’ve been crafting what was originally a little vacation house and is more and more turning in to a girly spot. I suppose it’s to provide balance to shooting range he recently picked up. Continue reading
Truth’s Secondhand Jacket is delightful – it has an old-fashioned comfort look about it. You just know the fabric is soft from wear and that all the stiffness in the collar and pockets is long long gone and what’s left is pure, unadulterated comfort clothing. I paired it with the Feure shirt from MichaMi in part because I am so in love with the texturing on that shirt I seek opportunities to wear it. I feel the same way about the Adam N Eve leather pants. They are my favorite leather pants in SL and they are hot. Moreover, they are thoughtfully packaged with a bootleg and regular leg for maximum flexibibility.
There are four colors that are universally flattering and one of them is this gorgeous peachy coral color. You simply cannot look bad in it no matter what you do. Here you see it in a fun little dress with a huge and extravagant collar. It’s from Clotheshorse and is called Aldina. I love its peachy punch of color and think the shoulder prim is one of the best examples of that type of collar I have seen.
Damn, that last post of Gidge’s was pure genius and it’s hard to post anything after that, but here goes something that will not be funny or witty, but becuase the dress is so clever, it will be worth your while. Don’t you just love it when designers make their outfits tintable – so your color choice is limited only by your personal taste? That’s what Polina Kaestner did with her corseted dress. The original out of the box look is a white dress with a spice corset – but I tinted the dress to an almost nude peach and the corset to a lovely rosy salmon.
Then I did it in blue. Now to get these colors, I did corset in a color I liked and dragged the color into one of the white squares to save it. Then I opened a dress piece and colored it the same as the corset and then lightened – upping luminescence by 20 points – so they are different shades of the same color.Incidentally, this corset is made for mixing and matching with other outfits.
I am wearing a whole lot of things I like. I’ve had almost a whole pot of coffee, the sun in shining and I’m in this really fantastic mood today. TANGENT WARNING! I am bound to head off on several today. But let’s start with the hair.
Being a certified hair fiend (card carrying) I was completely distraught when Gogo brought to my attention ANOTHER flippin hair store that I was going to like. Seriously. Stop the madness. Between the production of the creators I already patronize and the new stores I’m being introduced to – well – there is no hope for my bank account. Continue reading
Now if Dolly Parton had been wearing this she never would have had to write, “Jolene, Jolene, I’m begging you please don’t take my man.” Of course, this is named Jolene, probably because that’s what she was wearing, though I cannot imagine Dolly in granny pants, can you? There’s a lingerie party at MDR tonight with DJ Ashleigh Dickens – and Ashleigh is a fun DJ. I am thinking I will be wearing Jolene – though I promise not to take your man even though with this lingerie, Dolly Parton says I can.
Over the lingerie, the super sexy Clingy Satin dress from Viva La Glam. Yes, they’re back and I immediately went to see if they were as wonderful as I remembered. Nostalgia has that effect, you know. As you can see, they are as good as ever. Now let’s cross our fingers and hope they bring back the metallic tights so I don’t have to feel guilty every time I blog them.
Have you ever been to Donna Flora? If you have, you will understand what I mean when I say going to Donna Flora is like that Lays Potato Chip commercial that says “No one can eat just one.” It’s near impossible to walk into Donna Flora and leave with just one item – because there’s so much, it’s so good and there’s such variety. From hair, to jewelry, shoes to dresses, from retro to avant garde, basics to high fashion – you will find it there in plenty. So I am not going to challenge you to “eat just one” but to let us all know how many items get added to your wish list.
This Donna Flora dress is called Carla and comes with a beautiful prim spray of flowers and a ruffled prim skirt – all on one attachment point. This may require editing a few pieces separately, but it’s worth it for such a unique look.
