Last week I was a bit busy and happened to be wearing an outfit I really liked and before you knew it, I wore it three days in row. Now, I happened to change into something else during that time, but then I put this same outfit back on…that’s how comfy it is.
Some stores have names that just sound like they are fated to offer outstanding quality and succeed – to be the stores that become the clothiers of generations. Well, clothing generations of Second Life residents might be an outsized ambition, but Whippet & Buck have the name, and most importantly, they have the quality. The name makes me think of England and John Robert Cozens and all those country fashions of investment dressing – the dress that is timeless and is worn for decades. Well, they seem to have that idea in mind themselves as their forms are timeless and classic, such as this magnificent pencil dress and crop jacket.

I remember it really well, the first time Cajsa showed up in Ivalde. She was wearing one of the colors of the dress pictured ABOVE and my first thought was “WTF? Where did she find clothes like that?” I was still peeling myself out of the shorty tank shorty skirt crew and trying to figure out where all the decent clothes were BESIDES Digit Darkes. That skirt set burned into my mind, and the next time I saw her in something retro I asked her where she got it.
Ivalde. Continue reading
If you have been reading my blog for any significant length of time, you know I am a peach-a-holic. Peach, coral, salmon just are irresistible colors for me. And why not? They look good with every skin tone and flatter everyone in 1st and 2nd life. So, when I went over to check out Stylissimo – after falling in love with the blogger appreciation gifts they sent – and saw some peach in a vendor, well that works like a homing device with a built-in buy button.
An oh-my-my dress from Paper Couture, this is just too lovely for words.
I am a bad, bad, bad blogger. I cannot remember how this dress found its way into my inventory yesterday, but it did. I suppose it was from one of the fashion blogging groups I have joined recently. (Update: It was Fashion Trends group gift.) However, not knowing how I got it is not going to stop me from showing it off because it’s a stunner and gives you two options for the bodice and three for the skirt – and you can do the math on those permutations.

Indy 500 fever will be gripping the greater Indianapolis area as the parties and events leading up to the big race are in FULL Swing by now. (ah, I do miss it). Party hopping on Friday before the race used to be a full-on social requirement and the only requirement for being fashionable, was to ROCK the black and white.
I was wandering around Retrology just seeing what I needed and still didn’t have and ambled into this really cute set from Encore. Meeting all the requirements of casual, cute and black & white I decided it was a win for Friday festivities! Continue reading
I am busy this morning and only have a few minutes to share this lovely dress from Magnolia that I wore to Stacie Pryor’s birthday party on Monday. See how far I am behind!! With it I am wearing a rocking hot handbag from KA Designs, the phyton and that is not a typo.
This is just a quick mashup using the blouse and jacket from Jasmine by Paper Couture with Chalize slacks from Lelutka.
Do you want to feel like a heroine in an historical romance? What are your options? You could go to acting school and get cast is a B-movie. You could track down Fabio and pose for a book cover for the newest bodice-ripper. Or you could click on the folder from Evie’s Closet with the Chimera gown in it. Much cheaper than acting lessons or plane tickets to Italy or wherever. Now, if there was ever a bodice made for ripping, look at the sweet sweet romance of the bodice on the Chimera dress. Riiiiiiiiiip.
