The beautiful Princess Odette, immortalized by the ballet SWAN LAKE, has been freed from her cursed life as a swan by the beautiful Sevina Gown by Ivalde.
Surrounded by Ethereal Ghosts of the Swans who served as her family and captors…….Odette spins and dances her joy upon being set free.
At least, that was my first thought upon seeing this new release from Ivalde and getting an invitation to request a review item from Beulah! Continue reading

Our window for wearing heavy, overly ornate cocktail dresses and gowns is closing – at least as far as the RL season goes. Soon we’ll be shedding tafettas, heavy silks and velvets for cotton damasks and chiffon.
But not quite yet. 🙂 Continue reading

There are a handful of creators who put out new releases at a discounted price upon release, for a limited time, or do one color in a discounted price for a limited time. Second Wave Apparel is one of those, and I excitedly open her notices to see if the new goodies are something I want.
When I noticed the halter top came with panties to make it a retro-style swimsuit, I was sold. Continue reading

This tribute to the glamour of old Hollywood – called GINGER ROGERS is a dollarbie which wraps up TODAY at about 8am SLT. Ginger had to do everything Fred Astair did……..except she had to do it backwards and in heels. Now WHO was the better dancer?
This heavy black dress is simple and timeless and is going to be retired as of about 8am SLT-ish……..TODAY. Continue reading

Okay, there isn’t a party in my pants. I just wanted to use that line.
I picked up an outfit to wear snowboarding, and kept wanting Cajsa to shoot it, but this was the third or 4th outfit I pulled out that I had saved and this STILL Wasn’t it.
Sigh. But It’s cute, isn’t it? Again from RAY SKIN, again a dollarbie I think this one may have been in the back of the store beyond the courtyard. It was actually NEAR the snowboards – thus my confusion. Continue reading

Shopping with Cajsa the other night, we flitted to one store after another from the feeds, looking for something she wanted.
I forget what.
But what did happen is that each time we went to another store……there I was picking up SOMETHING cute and new. My 5 minutes at CRAVE were no different.
This complete outfit from CRAVE includes torn jeans, striped tee and a distressed Urban Bomber Jacket. Continue reading

It was at Ray Skin that I was Serenaded by a foreigner, crooner tunes by the PLEASUREMAN Gunther and I have to admit it was distracting. After all, despite liking an outfit, I like to sort of understand it as well. And I couldn’t concentrate on figuring this out with all the “oooo you touched my tra-la-la” going on.
I have no idea what this is.
I mean, I LIKE IT. I actually like it a lot. I like the color and the construction but like…….Retro? Vintage? Neko? Harajuku? Barbie Armegeddon? Urban Primitive? (ok not the last one) Continue reading

Characters: Silo Uriza and Gidge Uriza’s RL selves, each logged into their own PC side by side.
ACT The First
RL Silo Leans over and glances at RL Gidge’s screen and says, “Where are you shopping?”
Gidge Replies, “Merlynn’s Closet.”
Silo returns to Civ, asking “Oh, got a lot of pointy hats do they?”
Gidge looks over, “Remarkably few, actually.”
END SCENE Continue reading

I was strolling around shopping one night, trying to decide if I wanted new shoes at Juicy, trying to decide if I wanted this or that, when I wandered into ICON. Featuring jewelry in sets and bags, and other accessories, I was surprised I hadn’t found them before. The purses are what first caught my eye and somehow I got out with one though! How’d THAT happen?
But I did get THIS! Continue reading

Red and pink have been the color of the season so I was kind of tickled to see such an icy winter blue being given away at Lemania to her group. Like so many of her designs, it’s a fancy – there’s nothing practical about it.
Which is exactly what I like. Good grief why play on the Grid and be PRACTICAL? (note – I think this dress is being retired also based on the description on it) Continue reading
