Minnetonka Mocs

1 Reply

When I saw these moccasins at Sixty-Nine I was immediately reminded of my childhood and the wondrous Minnetonka Moccasins that were ubiquitous at every Minnesota tourist attraction in the state.  I coveted a pair so much, but my parents would never spring for something so impractical and so I never had a pair of moccasins. Until yesterday when I stopped at Sixty-Nine and saw these and bought my first moccasins ever. They are every bit as comfortable as I imagined.  I also immediately googled Minnetonka and lo, they are still making moccasins and I can get a pair like these for $75 so I just might be getting myself moccasins for a Christmas present in real life too. Though my inner practical self says no.

Kinetic Energy

2 Replies

Gidge and I received some fsahion blog review goodness from Digit Darkes and because Sasy, the Addictive factotum, is a super thoughful sort of factotum, she knows our color tastes and always sends us different colors. So, there’s Gidge in sunset and me in forest.

Digit Darkes is a bold, fearless designer who never hesitates to mix prints, to use bold colors and to go all out and wild. This time she went super-wild with a prim skirt that is lit from within. I admit, I had my doubts when I first put it on, but then I don’t wear bling. However, this doesn’t have the feel of bling…and I think because it’s very kinetic and never static, rather than overwhelming, it’s just eye-catchingly beautiful.

Pretty in Pinky

Posted by Gidge Uriza – FYI this is a review – but I can’t get the review logo to post!

When rifling through my new PXL Linda skins I found, to my delight, at the bottom of the group some skins with fun pink and purple tones. I immediately wanted to wear something light and summery and pulled out this dress from BINGO that I forgot I picked up. Continue reading →

Nevermore

Leave a reply

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I wandered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and impossible in real life store.
Suddenly there came a flapping, flocks of birds madly flapping
Magpies, and parakeets and ravens flapping, landing at a Tableau store
Paper Couture’s fall collection, Only this, and nothing more.

Well, that’s a lot of effort for such a poor result and the original is so much more congenial. However, I confess the temptation was irresistable considering the stole I am wearing is from The Raven by Paper Couture.

Armada!

I love to cruise Indyra Originals every now and again just to see what’s new because you never know what you’re going to find (I mean this in a good way). I fell in love instantly with Armada – remembering that I had seen it before and crashed right before I bought it.  It had slipped from my mind until I strolled back through there last week…… Continue reading →

Shai Silver

Leave a reply

Is there anyone comparable to Shai Delacroix in shading textures for form-fitting, curve-hugging, body-kissing sex appeal? Maht calls one of her dresses the Ass Dress and certainly my bum looks better in that dress than any other. This one has a pleated skirt which precludes the kind of cupping closeness that the Ass Dress employs, but then look how this one hugs the torso, curving and swerving with your curves and swerves snugging as tight as silk can snug.

It's Magic

Leave a reply

Do you ever wander around and suddenly see something that striked you as pure magic. That’s how I felt when I saw this dress from Lo-D Designs. Inspired by the rich froth of foam in the surf, the dress is bordered with a lace of sea foam. A lesser artist would have gone too realistic here and made the dress blue and made the sea foam purely foam, but she seems to have overlaid lace and foam textures to create something new and visually exciting. Now I really have to thank Thalia Jie who gave me the landmark for this store and told me I would like it. She sure was right.

Learning to Knit

Leave a reply

When I trotted out the Learning Suit from Paper Couture yesterday, I said the top would be wonderfully useful for other outfits because it has such a rich beautiful texture. Here’s a sample. The boat neck of the Learning Suit shirt works beautifully with this cowl neck sweater I got at the huge Celestial Studios sale. Now I knew I just had to find a perfect little skirt to go with.

Brownie a la Mode

There are lots of way to kick up the elegance of dreary old brown and this dress from <3 Cupcakes is a great example of what shades of brown can bring to the table with regards to elegance. Muted browns and beiges make the Fiona dress almost easy to not notice, it’s so subtle.

Throw on a set up heels, some pearls and sweep up your hair and you’ve got an elegant evening in the bag.

And good grief, did I forget to do my nails? Lord what’s next? Forgive me Fashionistas…….I’m only human too!
