The Best Damn Pants

1 Reply

Wow! I have found the best damn pants and it was such a surprise, too. I was at Studio Sidhe to pick up that arch pose I used for the photo at the Chinese Garden and thought I would wander over to see if she had some new jewelry and turned a corner and came face to face with these amazing pants – linen pants, but linen pants that look like linen…and have the linen lines and nubbiness at the right scale. They are extraordinarily well done and if you need to see more closely click the photo for a larger size picture where you can clearly see the texture. I kid you not. The best damn pants.

It's E! For Excellent

This photo is from one of my favorite places in Portland, the wonderful Chinese Garden in Old Town. It’s only a city block, but it takes you out of the city. It reminds me of a sim in its discrete containment of such rich beauty in the heart of one of Portland’s grittier neighborhoods. For my visit, I wore some fab items from E! – the exclamation point is theirs but they deserve it.

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 →

Dove Swanson has made an AO that will lift your spirit and your avatar in more ways than one. First, it’s a Relay For Life item so your purchase price will help that great cause. Secondly, it’s a fun Animation Override that is full of whimsy and a playful spirit and as for the last, look at the picture.  To show it off, I wanted an equally whimsical dress so chose this one from KA Designs.

The Allure of Linen

I love natural fibers in my clothes. In RL I’m far too lazy to maintain them or iron them etc, but I love the look and feel of them to the exclusion of anything else.  Faery Sola announced she had made some highwaisted pants about the same time I receive a group gift from the SUPER gracious Pink Outfitters group and well……..they both ended up on my ON the same day.

It’s a top. It’s pants. I got them the same day. It was MEANT to be. Continue reading →

Wake Up!

There’s nothing like a bright sunny dress to wake you up and lift your mood when your spirits are dragging. Every once in awhile the 222 cloudy days we get each year gets oppressive and I need some sunshine. Sure, I use the full spectrum lightbulbs but I mean I need some bright sunny pop of warmth. That’s when I turn to fashion. This dress from LiNe is a sunny day on a hangar and ready for you to take out of your closet anytime you need some sun.

You find precious few people to respect on the grid. Oh don’t get me wrong – I always find LOTS of people to LIKE. But I’m a bit drawn to rakes and ruffians of various ilk -so the grid really is like mother’s milk in that department.

But when you talk about RESPECT, people with true ethics and who “do the right thing” well….ok they’re few and far between.  Which is why I’m giving a shout out to my friend Sasy Scarborough, the creator of the shoes on my feet.  Sasy is one of those people, that after I have a moment where my only response is *BLINK* – I IM Sasy and say “SASY! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?”

Or “Sasy, why does this look this way? Is this INTENTIONAL what the hell?”

They are only available on Xstreet, the former SLX. You can get them in a MULTITUDE of colors HERE. (I am wearing the dollarbies, so you can pick up one pair to check them out and then go buy the rest because you are addicted). Continue reading →

Yourskin is Delightful

You might think that I like every skin given to me, that like a crack-fiend – I can find no flaw with my drug of choice.

And that is where you would be wrong. You see – I try on a LOT of skins, I receive many as review items and others I go hunting down based on blogs and plurks about what people have released.

Much of the time I slip into the new pixel shell and say OH HELL WHAT IS THIS?

You never see those skins. Because I want to look pretty, and I want YOU to look pretty, therefore it only behooves me to bring you that which pleases me and I hope will please you.

Thus, Yourskin. Continue reading →

Casual Friday:Mix and Match

Today is a great example of how you should always look at your group gifts/freebie gifts even if you think they are not completely your cup of tea. I received Jaycie from Dollyrock as a group gift, and it’s a little dress, halter top, glitch pants, shortie cutie skirt.

I don’t wear a lot of this style, and my initial reaction was “Meh I don’t wear a lot of these, I’ll bag this.” And with an inventory aproaching 40k – I think this is something I need to do even more.  But I really LIKED the texture and thought the little halter was a cute summer top – so I kept it hoping inspiration would strike.

It did. Continue reading →
