Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s designs dropped this festive pack of corsets and pants on me a while back, and I’ve been holding out till it warmed up in my RL and I could FEEL the spring fun when I wore them.
Yesterday, that day arrived! The tops come with a layer option which has straps,but since gravity requires straps in RL – I chose STRAPLESS in my Second existence – ROCK THE FANTASY GIRLS! Continue reading

Ziezo, the elegant ballgown recently released by Sascha’s Designs is a beautiful example of the basic truth that the wearing o’ the green can be elegant. I enjoy a fun tacky party as much as the next girl, but if you events calendar features more dressy soirees – there is hope!
This gown is available in a rainbow of deep hued jewel tones but the green is super elegant and totally holiday appropriate.
I’m ready. Who has my green beer? (I didn’t say to dismiss EVERYTHING that was tacky)

Sascha Frangelli is known grid-wide for her gowns that are always extravagantly embellished, rich in detail and in options. You can wear anything from a mini cocktail to a door-bursting battleship gown. For me, I chose the narrow, sleek skirt.

I could never wear anything more gleefully than a big pink ballgown. Wait -it’s got a HAT? It’s got a PARASOL?!?!?!?
Sign me up. It’s so springy-fun and foofoo that I just couldn’t resist choosing the pink to show you out of the rainbow of colors that Sascha Frangilli offers it in. It’s rather modest in the black and differently exuberant in the other colors but in the pink, it says OHAI I’m a Barbie Doll and I’m ok with that. Continue reading

Well, I do have the dress anyway. Another beautiful ballgown from Sascha’s Designs made to fill our Barbie Doll hearts with glee. I had to have this deep aubergine color for a holiday evening. Continue reading
One of the places I most want to visit is Antarctica. There are lots of reasons, fascination with Scott’s doomed expedition and the heroic self-rescue of Shackleton’s expedition are a major part of it. You can see the Scott expedition versus the Amundsend expedition as the conflict between romanticism and modernity writ small. There’s such great literature of the expeditions – from the harrowing personal narratives of Byrd’s Alone, Cherry-Garrad’s Worst Journey in the World and Shackleton’s South to the wonderful fiction like Antarctic Navigation and the current travel writing and scientific books such as The Crystal Desert. I am certain I have read the vast majority of books about Antarctica – it has such a strong fascination for me. So far, my Antarctic adventures have been solely armchair traveling, but there’s one phenomenon of that frigid continent that can only be seen and experienced in person – the amazing blue ice which is pure ice from pure water. The purer the water, the bluer the ice. I have seen photos and it’s so beautiful it makes your heart hurt. For me, there are few things more beautiful or entrancing.
So when I say that this lovely gown from Sascha’s Designs by Saschi Frangelli makes me think of blue ice, it’s because I think it’s incredibly beautiful. The delicate silver tracery makes it sparkle like the ice in the light – and the intense blue with that lovely tracery is entrancing. I particularly love the three bands on the back to give it visual interest.

I was doing another mishmash when I got inspired to make a Halloween Costume out of my inventory – to put beautiful things together in a way that no creator ever intended – just to rock some trailer park style.
Seriously, you know I just spent the night at a club partying with random guys and doing snakebites.
Luckily I’ve got this comfy bedroom situated right off the kitchen – built in furniture FTW!
Ok, I might be daffy with giddyness at being back. But I was having way too much fun shooting this – and being silly.
And – I think Kavar may have created my favorite JBF hair ever, whether he meant to or not.
Let’s Party!

I shot so much when doing the shoot for this dress from Sascha’s Designs – that I forgot what it was I was highlighting. The dress? The hair? The skin?
I couldn’t decide – there fore this post must be about them all.
The gorgeous ballgown is yet another brilliant offering from Sascha’s Designs, replete with a host of skirt options, shawl, jacket and top options that make purchasing just one color of this dress an outfit for several nights over. I chose to show you this beautiful peach because I was in a fall mood – but it comes in a rainbow of jewel tones that I can’t say enough about. They’re like candy.
As always the ballgown skirt option from Sascha has gorgeous movement – those of you who love the ballroom scene know how annoying it is to get a great big old gorgeous skirt that doesn’t move worth a damn- obviously no issue here! Continue reading

Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s designs is by far one of my favorite evening and cocktail gown creators. She’s never afraid to embrace embellishment on a grand scale and her NOVICE gown is no exception. Wearing a mink stole in keeping with the fall color of this one, I’m feeling gorgeous in this exceptional cocktail dress. Continue reading
