Having fun with tints

I picked up the marvelous Exile Shir hair – a fundraiser for Heart of Love – and love it’s classic looks and its flexibility. That clip holding the french twist in place is color change, but it’s also modifiable, so I could color it to be as matchy-matchy as I wanted. Now how fun is that?  And if you get this marvelous hairstyle you will also be helping the Heart of Love campaign.  It’s the epitome of win-win. Then you can wear it with the over the moon wonderful watercolor sweater and skirt from Uncle Wiggily.

How can you mend a broken heart?

This top, skirt, belt and bangles are all from Ornamental Life. Shir Dryke of Ornamental Life needs help right now. A donor heart is being kept for her - in an act of amazing grace a family is keeping a man alive to give her a heart - if only we can all do our part, too, she could have a new chance at life.

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

Adele Dazzles

Regular readers know I there are a few designers that simply flip my switches. What they do just appeals to me on a different level than most fashion. Most designs that I like, I can admire and evaluate relatively objectively. If it’s reasonably priced, I will buy it. If not, I won’t.  Then there are those whose designs disconnect my brain from my wallet and blow my budget. They do something unique and new. Their clothing doesn’t remind me of anyone else. It’s wholly their own. LadyThera Taurog of Lady Thera’s Art & Fashion is one such designer and if ever there were a case of brain disconnection, it is this dress.

You know Izumiya. Great bargains on Neko and Urban pieces, some fun Japanese traditional pieces. A few whole SETS of poses for free plus the entire second floor is free or close to it. So, we’re in a agreement, we KNOW Izumiya.

Or  I thought we did. Till I ran over there the other day, just to see what was new. Continue reading

All The Single Ladies!Put Your Hand UP!

Harper’s invite to Frank’s Elite VIP room for New Year’s Eve was just an excuse to change clothes! I grabbed my girls, slipped into this velvety number from Pixel Dolls and we rolled over to rub elbows in the swanky elegance of a normally private club. Continue reading

An Ode to Brown

Brown is the color of some of the best things in the world, like coffee and cocoa and chocolate. The earth that sustains us all is brown, so why doesn’t brown get the sort of respect that black does? Why when we think high impact fashion, do we think of black, white and red? Seriously, it’s the Rodney Dangerfield of colors. And that’s so unfair because it works so hard at making us look good. Whether the light tan of this sweater dress from Axel or the rich brown of the argyle socks from BettiePage Voyager, brown is working its heart out in this outfit.

I Got The Boogie Fever, I Got To Boogie Down

 

Posted by Gidge Uriza

I didn’t have any plans for New Years Eve, but when QXI Gears invited me over for an informal get together with friends, I wanted to wear something festive even if it wasn’t a “formal” event. Digit Darkes Nicole dress with it’s bright splashes of color was exactly what I wanted. Continue reading

I could have danced all night…and I did

New Year’s Eve was a night for dancing and just as I always do when I dress for dancing, I thought about how the clothes would look while shimmying and shaking across the floor.  For that reason, I seldom wear system skirts for dancings as the distorted textures when you dance can so ruin the line of a dress. This also makes me wary of sculpties that flap around like broken wings on a baby bird. But flexis aren’t necessarily the solution as they can look like a tornado swirling round the floor.  Of course, we all understand the limitations of clothing and forgive our dancing foibles…but I am always on the look for a great dance dress. This lovely white Alaska dress from Kunglers is ideal.

Back to the Winter Garden

There are five flowers in Modern Gypsy’s Winter Garden. In this picture I am wearing the Rose, another exuberant bouquet of dancing prims.

You can contrast that to the more structured architecture of Asian Lily whose exuberance is expressed through the riotous fabric texture.
