Slips seem like relics from the ancient past to me. I can’t remember the last time I wore one or owned one in real life. I might have to actually buy one, because strolling around in this slip dress from THE ICING the past few days has made me totally nostalgic for the more delicate types of lingerie, the opposite of the Fredericks Catalog.

The ETHERIA Event has opened up as of yesterday with a theme of PAINTED LADIES to challenge the creators participating. Think, old west harlots of the elegant sort.
Ladies to the manner born, as it were. Continue reading
Alicia Chenaux had a New Year’s Eve EVE party and I had a new outfit so I went over. Between the talk of wieners and what we’re looking for in them (my vote, tasty) it was a great time and so I thought I’d shoot what I wore since you still have time to snatch it up for yourself for a proper NYE party.
Look at this bird. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS BIRD? I have no idea I’m kind of scared of it. Continue reading
Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can’t afford
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason well it’s really not very hard
To love you even though, you nearly lost my heart

It fits so tight, closer than a glove Continue reading
Now the dark begins to rise
Save Your Breath It’s Far From Over. Continue reading
“A Novel, in the end, is a container, a shape into which you are trying to pour your story into.”
~Helen Dunmore
I do admit I was very resistant to getting a new shape last year because I’d had mine forever and I love it and it was MEEEE and yadda yadda yadda.
But then, I tried on my shape made by Hybie of Savoir Faire (and our newest contributor here at IOF) and I fell in love. It’s amazing what a difference a shape made by someone with a brilliant eye for proportion and a great fashion sense can make. Continue reading
It doesn’t matter how many posts you get under your belt (according to WordPress I have 1037), those who were veterans and went before you remain the people you look to from time to time as not only a touchstone, but as a reminder of how to do it.
I met Grazia Horwitz when I mis-creditted a skin once a long time ago when I was a new blogger. She feared her friend Hart Larsson had been ripped, recognizing his work, and immediately contacted me.
I was TERRIFIED OMG GRAZIA IS MESSAGING ME AND OMG I MADE A MISTAKE OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.
She wasn’t terrifying at all, actually, but I was so scared and embarrassed at the time. Continue reading
I wasn’t much of a boot wearer before I met Jackal Ennui but she certainly changed my foot covering preferences. Between her original releases of romantic, intricately detailed boots to her new mesh releases, I’ve enjoyed all of her inspirations that warm my feet. Continue reading
My favorite part of winter is the abundance of new releases of formal wear. I’m a ridiculous doll at heart and I love to swath myself in ballgown goodness. Today I covered myself in pink from Sascha’s designs and ran to Oubliette. Continue reading
I wore this dress around for three days. I was mostly shoeless, but still, I figure that I liked it enough to wear for three days, I should surely blog it. Continue reading
