Regular readers know we love Sn@tch here at It’s Only Fashion – fabulously affordable fatpacks of fun. Ivey Deschanel, the genius behind Sn@tch is quite possiblyly the witties designerr in Second Life. Without doubt, she is the wittiest I have encountered and she applies that wit not just in her clothing names, but in the designs as well. Only someone with a highly developed with would name this Enough Plaid…and use such wildly vibrant colors. I don’t think these textures will find themselves in any hunting tartans soon. Because Sn@tch clothes come in fat packs, you get to wildly play with them too. Case in point, Ivey did not put this top with this bottom. I mashed up two together…and I think it works.

Truth in Advertising
So I wandered over to the Floydian Continent (well, they’re working on it) to Tenshi Vielle’s CRAP Boutique conveniently located next to Fresh Trash. Sorry, but late night shopping can be a giggle fest. Tenshi doesn’t have a huge inventory, but the work is creative, witty and hand-drawn so I thought I might show you a couple CRAP outfits, just because the name cracks me up. However, as far as truth in advertising goes, good thing there’s no law that says the name has to reflect the merchandise.
Quick Look: Diapop & &bean
Here’s a cute casual outfit perfect for chilling out with friends at The Velvet or running about shopping. The top is from &beans, comes on multiple layers and has an option to wear without the lacy ruffles on the neck. The pants are from Diapop. Now Diapop makes some adorable tops and if they would only make them on all layers and long enough to tuck in, my budget would be in serious trouble. If you don’t mind crop tops and single layer tops (and many folks don’t) you should check out how cute they are. You can get an idea just from these adorable pants. The flats are from Shiny Things – and I lurve them.
Memorial Day Weekend, I'll Be In The Hamptons

Ok that’s a lie. Memorial Day weekend I’ll be recovering from surgery. BUT – in my mind I’ll be relaxing with a mimosa on Buffy’s yacht while Chad sales out for a lobster bake on the beach.
Cuz,that’s how real people live -right? Continue reading
The One Where I Steal Cajsa's Jewelry

I picked up this skirt and sweater over at Edge Designs after Belle Lefavre sent me over there exploring. I thought the skinned knees were very reminiscent of my youth, where I tripped and fell over everything in sight regularly. Forbidden to wear clogs of any sort due to such clumsiness, I would have rocked this look daily had I dressed this way, I promise.
Bandaids can be fashion! We’re setting a trend, two posts with bandages of some sort in 24 hours. Continue reading
Hee Haw or I wasn't kidding about the boots.
Normally I would wait and post this in the morning, but since I have shown you Miffy in these old lace up boots in black, I thought you would enjoy the funny coincidence that we were both wearing the same boots, but in completely different styles. After a trip to magi take, I could not resist showing off my finds – especially since it reminds me of cleaning out the cow barn at my uncle’s dairy farm. This may be TMI, but I assure you it’s much more pleasant shoveling straw and manure than washing down the milk off the floor in the milking shed.
Apocalypse Chic
When Miffy came over to the new It’s Only Fashion Blogging Headquarters and Day Spa (a photosphere on the bottom of the ocean in Glookbone back where we began MDR 18 months ago) I asked her if I could shoot her outfit for the blog. Sometimes I can really admire how someone styles herself – even if would never opt for that style – simply because of the utter commitment to her concept. That’s what engages me with this outfit – that, and the quality of the components beginning with this amazing backpack from Tonktastic.

Cajsa is a Princess, I Am Comfy Casual

Ok so I gotta get some formal wear shot because I am looking like a girl who only wears jeans suddenly.
🙂
So here is what is up. I’ve been practicing shooting and putting the shots up over at Freestyle – trying stuff out and hearing all about it when I fail but learning nonetheless. So then in my next experiment, I took all the stuff Miffy had given me from her new releases and shot it all in one night. Continue reading
Casual Friday in Purple
This is the perfect outfit for the weather today – a bit warm a bit brisk, sunny – cloudy, oh damn we can’t make up our minds weather. But no rain! In a city that gets over 200 days of rain, that’s a plus. If I could, I would natter on all day about the purple cardigan from Kurotsubaki. It’s a lovely wrap sweater replete with multiple prim attachments – including the lovely bell sleeves. What’s unique is that there are 4 prims for the flowy bits – 2 for each attachment point so you can choose exactly how full and flowy you want it to be. I chose the less full options just because that seemed more casual.
