Casual Friday:Mix and Match

posted by Gidge Uriza

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 →

Fashionable Relay Challenge

The Pink Plainers by Shiny Things that Tesa used were the building blocks of my fashionable relay challenge entry. I cannot resist the opportunity to hose myself down in girly pepto-bismol pink.

I thought it only fitting that a trip to PINK OUTFITTERS ended in a super girly pink look, to top off these excellent shoes. 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 →

Backpacking Alone In Mexico

With my busy shooting schedule plus a store to run plus a hunt to get ready for (duh it’s started!) and a slew of friends I love to spend time with……I rarely have those moments alone anymore.

I don’t know if you ever have had them in SL, but those perfect moments of quiet……where you’re just exploring something, wandering…….experiencing that quiet solitude that you can find in such a huge world on a quiet night. Continue reading →

Looking Backward

I will only borrow the title of Edward Bellamy’s book since the main predictions of his 1888 book missed by a mile, though he did sort of predict debit cards, Wal-Mart,  and Itunes.  Somehow, though, I think if Edward Bellamy were alive today he would live in Second Life even more than most of us.  However, in looking backwards, I am focusing more on the delightful attention to the back displayed in this top from Spice and Sugar and pants from Naive.  Since so much of us spend a lot of SL looking at our backs, isn’t it nice to see designers taking pains to make the back interesting.

Quick Look:Naive

This is where I wish I was, snuggled up in super soft jammies. However – I may still be in my jammies but I’ m minutes fromwork clothes.

I love a store that dabbles in various fashion elements and Naive runs a gamut from Wedding Formal to these cute jammies. I’m wearing DRAMA QUEEN and COUNTING SHEEP.  Why is it I love SL Jammies so much? I have no idea yet I love to dress up in them.

I chose Aleri Darkes Virgo – Snuggle makeup – I mean, it’s CALLED Snuggle. How could I resist?

Snuggly comfort can be stylish  – something beautifully demonstrated with this skirt from Miu and the sweater set from DP YumYum. Lovely  little details like the tie on the skirt or the differently colored buttons on the sweater show designers who pay attention to the nuances of style and share a little wink of delight with their customers.
