Jolie Ensemble is Perfect for the 4th Too!

posted by Gidge Uriza

The blue with gold OR silver detailing Jolie ensemble is perfect if you want to salute the July 4th Holiday with a more conservative style. This piece by Kalli Heart Designs is a review bloggers dream – includes earrings and bracelets which are NICE plus LAYERS LAYERS LAYERS.

Did I mention LAYERS? Plus the shirt/jacket/undershirt layer comes in opaque OR sheer 🙂 And you can layer up the sheer version for a “less sheer” look that is still smexy. I’m wearing two layers of sheer in the pic below.

The sheer option on the shirt - Blue with GOLD detail

I’ve also got the blue version with SILVER detail to show you. Continue reading

Americana

Posted by Gidge Uriza

Ok, I lied. I’ve got some red white and blue. But it’s cute. And for the next 48 hours you’re gonna see it. I promise you no whacky hats or nutty hairs.

Well, I mostly promise.

Americana from GYPSY SOUL is a great dress for those of you feeling patriotic but not in that “I WILL WEAR AN UNCLE SAM HAT WHILE SINGING ALONG TO STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER” sort of mood.

Cuz, that sound doesn’t actually have words. Continue reading

Oh Sh!t Not That Argrace Hair AGAIN!?

posted by Gidge Uriza

I could not decide what was the best way to show off the Exodi skin I picked up the other day right after the 50% off sale started.  I mean, it’s so extreme and colorful – I wanted fun and festive. This Fedora hat and mystic bob seemed to be the perfect way to show you the colors.

I’m actually quite enamored of this hair color – I have to slide over to Argrace and see what else they have. Continue reading

Who's a Groovy Girl?

posted by Gidge Uriza

This is my only mystery hair from the Hair Fair. I shot this a while back, and then forgot it’s name. I spent days hunting for it – looking through all Cajsa’s pics and I just couldn’t figure it out! WHAT IS IT I shrieked to the heavans. No one answered. And then searching in my inventory last night I found it – it was a FREEBIE at the Hair Fair from Groovy Girl! Continue reading

Three Cheers For The Red White And Blue!

posted by Gidge Uriza

I know I know, I WORE you out last year with nothing but red, white and blue the week before July 4. I’m letting you OFF the hook this year with a minimal invasion of Patriotica.

But you didn’t think you’d get away Scot-free did you? I have to look up that phrase! Scott free, scott-free, scot-free – I have no idea. It’s probably some sort of slur even – but they’re my people so I feel free to dog them 🙂

BACK TO MY TOPIC! July 4….putting it to the British Empire – Continental Army style………….We The People…………..

Well, it’s like this. There has been more than a bit of brouhaha this year about the wearing of the flag and while I don’t mind wearing stars and stripes prints I don’t care for wearing ACTUAL flags (which, I note IS NOT THE SAME)……..regardless…….to avoid the drama I opted to salute Old Glory and this important day IN Red White and Blue colors.

The pants and top are from the beauties at AXEL and are a super pick up any time of year. They come in a variety of colors but these holiday colors are perfect, aren’t they?

But now, the finishing touch – the JEWELRY! YAY EarthStones has once again created beautiful July 4 Jewelry! Last year the jewelry was amazing and once again Abraxxa has created lovelies PLUS SHOES! Wheee! Continue reading

posted by Gidge Uriza

The Piranha pocket dress by Bliensen + Maitai is just one more eclectic offering from this very versatile creator.  First off the dress is practical with fun pockets for your smokes and what not 🙂

Second off…….it’s called PIRANHA! Does anyone remember that terrible terrible movie from the 70s called PIRANHA? OMG that freaking movie damaged me as a child, I couldn’t go nightswimming for YEARS because I was nervous.  Those things eat fast!

Luckily, this fun dress has no hidden dangers and is nothing but cute cute cute. It also comes in a black version and they are sold together.

The hair is from Fishy Strawberry – HUNTRESS. I’m all about the braids these days.

It’s a shorty tonight girls…….I’m sleepy sleepy sleepy……..

I should shoot some jammies! No no………go to sleep!

My Hair Fair Quest

posted by Gidge Uriza

I have a small notebook beside me at the PC where I jot down fashion details and inventory offers and other things I need to remember. It’s higgledy-piggledy but it’s also a system that works for me. People will say clever things like “oh just type in WORN and then copy and paste that into a text document” which would work famously if I didn’t own so many pieces of clothing that for some unknown reason the creator put the words “WORN ON HEAD” or whatever on them.

I could rename them, but why bother. Back to my point. I keep this notebook. And every once in a while something catches my fancy and gets written down as a WANT. Continue reading

I Got Your Wasabi Pills Right Here

posted by Gidge Uriza

Stylized and festive hair is what you can find at Wasabi Pills but no matter the fact that I always saw fashionistas sporting fun looks by them, I never got around to checking them out. I was so excited to see them at the hair fair and delighted that they dropped a few samples on me to check out their work.

Totally cheeky fun. Continue reading

You Had Me At Skittlepop Princess

posted by Gidge Uriza

Helena Stringer of the Stringer Mausoleum clearly knew that while I MIGHT be able to pass up Skittles, that skittles + princess + purple hair would end up being irresistible to me.  It was a must buy for me the second I saw it a preview of it and frankly I had FORGOTTEN it though- until I ran into it at the Hair Fair.

WOOOHOOO…….Purple Hair with Candy in it. Color me delighted. Continue reading

The Hair I Bought Bcse of GOGO!

posted by Gidge Uriza

First of all can I say that I clearly have a symbiotic relationship with House of London because I was getting dressed and wishing I had kind of a washed out retro-styled print tee to wear while out and about…………..

and POOF one was dropped on me as a group gift. Pink Outfitters is UNBELIEVABLY generous in dropping one color of their new releases from time to time. 

Now I really have to pop over there tonight and see WHAT ELSE is new!  Continue reading
