Beautiful Babydoll

6 Replies

I have mentioned more than once that I am not very fond of babydoll dresses, so imagine my surprise when I fell for this gorgeous babydoll at Mika. There was an element of surprise in that Mika is known for dancer/showgirl wear. It’s where we got our fan dancer outfits. But the big surprise was how attractive and elegant this babydoll dress looked. Elegant is not the word I associate with babydolls, but that is the word for this one. It is the gorgeous draping in the bodice and the lovely fabric that make this so elegant. However, to really appreciate how truly excellent it is, you have to see those prims in motion – it’s an amazing piece of work. The attention to detail that creates elegance even extends to the ribbon edged hem. Truly a great example of how what seems quite simple on the surface becomes, through careful detailing and devotion to excellence, a work of art.

A Date with Frosty the Snowman

Well, not really, but if I did have a date with Frosty, I could not go wrong with this amazing gown from MiaMai. The gown is called Ever East and is a sinuous sexy shimmer of a gown that sleekly slides along your form. With a higher than thou side slit, it’s a perfect reveal of the fantastic Ice Queen skin from PXL Creations. A special holiday gift makeup for the fabulous July skin, this skin has delicate tracery tattooing on the legs, back, bodice and arms.

Big & Bold:Red & Black

Leave a reply

So Modern Gypsy designer Micah Kanto invited me over to see the new store and new Winter collection and I just fell in love with nearly everything! When I walked into the room with the Winter 2010 Collection, I went on point like a hunting dog and said one word: Red!  Of course, the collection is more than red, there’s black and white and it’s full of strong graphic textures and bold prints like this larger than life houndstooth print in this gorgeous Humble Heiress dress from the collection.

I took a quick snap so you can see how strong an impression this cohesive collection makes as a whole. It’s really an amazing piece of work and tells a real story. Nina and Michael would definite judge it a winner.

It's a Wonderful Night

It’s a wonderful night
You’ve gotta take it from me.
It’s a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

I love this outfit I put together using part of the Rock Top mini dress from +plus and the asymmetrical skirt from CoCo. It’s a great dance party outfit and deserves a hot night on the dance floor. The top has gorgeous silver studs on the sleeves and a prim chain attaching at the neckline. With such great embellishments, I didn’t feel a necklace was needed at all.

Puttin' on the Ritz

4 Replies

Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin’ on the ritz.

Now seriously, does anything say puttin’ on the ritz like a tuxedo. Granted, most tuxedos do have a shirt underneath – but you know what rhymes with ritz. Anyway, the lovely Tuxedo Jacket and highwaisted tuxedo pants are from CoCo – a store that always seems to surprise and delight.

They say you lose 45% of body heat through your head…

Leave a reply

This Hymn dress from MiaMai makes me smile. At first blush, with that cozy, cuddly hood it looks all warm and snuggly. Then of course, there’s the plunge, or more accurately the two plunges as the back plunges even lower than the front. Let’s just say Mrs. Claus might feel a brisk wind or two. This dress certainly seems designed on the principle of conserving body heat by covering up the head.  Now, of course, it’s a myth that you lose more heat through your head than any other part of your body. When those tests were done in the 50’s they were comparing  lost heat with people wearing winter survival gear but no hats – not people unclothed everywhere.  Oops!
