The lovely button-front shirt is from Kunglers. The jeans are from The Plastik, they come in more colors and prints than I can count. I suppose the lyric is maudlin, but Mother’s Day is a hard day for me. I miss her every day, but some days are harder than others.

I love jackets. I am always on the hunt for a good jacket that will work with other mesh items that have not been made as part of a set. While browsing through Marketplace, I came across this wonderful houndstooth swing jacket from Legal Insanity and knew I had to have it. I know it would be wearable with other mesh. I did have to go one size larger so that the shirt would not poke through in the back, but I didn’t need to add the alpha to get it to work. This jacket has an array of stunning details such as the black and white edging that outlines the entire jacket and the collar. The single black button keeps it together while letting it fall into the swing that gives it its name. The jacket comes in several solid colors, including many brights, but I love this classic houndstooth.
The top is from NYU and comes in several colors. It comes with the contrasting bow and has such beautiful classic style. I added the fun high-waisted mini from Maitreya in white, keeping myself to a monochromatic scheme. Continue reading
And so it would appear that I’ve fallen in love with a new skin. I’ve never been one for skins that are mostly “hand painted”. I’ve always been one to dig on skins with a more realistic touch but never being over realistic. I was window shopping last night looking to see who makes pale looking skins when I came across this store called [KOOQLA]. As I said in another post…I have no idea how to pronounce that but it reminds me of something I would call my vagina. Anyways, this place has excellent almost ethereal looking skins and fantastic makeup add-on’s. They are super fun to shoot pictures in as well. Here have a lookie:
Hello 🙂
The new bridal collection from Miamai is pure awesomeness. It really is.
And one of the things i like the most about it is that you don’t have to get married to wear those fabulous dresses. Yay! I mean, they’re not ordinary wedding dresses, so you only have to pick the colour you prefer and, well, wear the dress!
Areanne in oyster colour is my fav. It’s made of grace. And when i wore it with the Glam Affair Giselle skin from the Sent to Destroy pack, available at Culture Shock, i was shocked, indeed, ’cause together they…..shine!
Every once in a while social, cultural and political events converge in a year that changes everything. 1964 was one of those years. It was the year of the Civil Rights Act that prohibited race and gender discrimination. President Johnson said it would cost the Democratic Party the South for a generation. Seeing that it’s two generations since then and the Southern Strategy still dominates electoral politics, he gave people too much credit. 1964 was the year America began bombing in Vietnam. Contrary to the stereotypical Archie Bunker, the majority of the working class was opposed to the war which was most strongly supported by economic and cultural elites – a natural byproduct of the college exemption from the draft that placed the risks of war solidly on the poor and working class, just as they shoulder the majority of the risk today.
First came the shoes.
These adorable wedges shoes from ANEXX immediately caught my attention when I first visited the Shoe Fair. It’s the famous StrapWedgeBootee model in an exclusive and super-cute mix of colors: a percentage of sales will be donated to the Soles4Souls charity.
I decided to create a whole look starting from those shoes and here’s what came out:
Like it?
Keep reading, then! 😛

I headed off to the Mother Road for this shoot. The outfit is more contemporary than the vintage aesthetic of The Mother Road, but the colors made me think of that time period, so I went with it.
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
I thought I would walk around Old New York and Staten Island sims and even take a little hike across the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of those bridges that capture people’s hearts and imaginations. Its stunning sweep and the visual delicacy of its suspension wires makes it a work of art. My outfit for the day is perfect for a jaunt around the City with a gorgeous tweed jacket that can be removed if the weather warms up.

One of the exciting things about fashion is the way you can shift the entire mood of an outfit just by changing a few accessories. I thought I might add a new “feature” occasionally taking one outfit and giving it two looks. I am starting out with the Brio dress from Chantkare. I love the bold graphic look of this dress with the over-sized collar, bell sleeves and the bold stripes. I first selected accessories that emphasized its clean, modern lines.
I chose some soft and feminine accessories that would change the focus, adding a softer, more romantic element that still honors the modern graphic style of the dress.
I shot the pics at Camomile – home of tram where I bought some of the accessories I use to set the mood for the two looks. There’s a chair outside the store with a fun balancing animation that distracted me until i decided to just go ahead and use it in the shoot – after all, fashion is often a balancing act between moderation and exuberant extravagance.
