I hadn’t been to UmeMode for quite awhile, but on a whim I popped over there on Friday and found some great new (to me) clothes including this lovely brown sundress.
It made me feel all pastoral, so I hopped over to Nordari for the photos. Continue reading
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
There is not a river wide
Not a mountain high
And neither sin nor evil
Could change how I feel inside
Could change how I feel inside
Not all the strength of the ocean
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
Now others have tried, I just can’t deny
For me you are the one
For me you are the one
No, the moon is not made out of green cheese, but if you go to Shadow Moon, the sky is. Well, green something anyway! I was wearing this audaciously fun outfit from The Black Canary and decided to check out Shadow Moon – the name of the place sounded so evocative of mystery and danger and illicit rendezvous in the darkness of the shadow of the moon.
Hah! Not so much. Still the bright whimsy of this cartoon goth world delighted my sense of humor. I could not resist.
As you can see, the Lament outfit from The Black Canary is perfect for a night in any goth world – be it in Toon Town or some more sinister realm. The cape is amazing, so are the collar and cuffs on the shirt and the amazing silver findings that detail the jacket. It’s a beautifully elegant suit that was a delight to wear.

The next step in the (r)evolution of hair design is making a hair base worn on the tattoo layer – enabling it to be worn with any skin. To demonstrate exactly how versatile this method is, I though that I would go gray – really gray – so that you can see the strongest possible example of how it works with this collection from MiaMai by Monica Outlander.

I used to have a dress very similar to this – a fitted bodice, short sleeves, full skirt with the fabric a glorious garden of orange and yellow flowers. I loved it and wore it and wore and wore it – until I wore it out. It was not a lovely silk challis like this one, but a very light-weight cotton and was just loved to death. Poor dress! I miss it. So what a joy to discover a dress so similar – and with a much more durable and luxurioius fabric.

I went shopping with Cajsa some weeks ago and cleaned out my Linden balance buying this and that at the cutest shopping area she’d found. But being me, I didn’t write down what I bought properly,and obviously I didn’t do anything logical like put them all into a particular FOLDER or something. Fsssss. Not bloody likely.
What this means is over the past few weeks…….I’ve been trying to find things.
Like, these jeans.
I love these jeans. And I literally ended up typing the word JEAN into my inventory search and going through every pair of jeans I own until I found these.
Jeans No_29.
It is from a shop that to the best of what I could tell from the creators pics, is called VERONICA. If you like them, drop me a NC in world and I’ll toss you what I BELIEVE Is the landmark. Helpful aren’t I?
Creators – help us out. Product names should include your store name. Somehow, even in abbreviation. And – PUT YOUR STORE IN YOUR PICS CLEARLY. It’s fine if you also list how your pool boy is your slave but the Master of your dog-eared boy Friend who is the slave of the owner of another store….
but, help us with the naming so that when we do go to reference you, you stick in our minds and we don’t have to puzzle you out.
I have PMS. Can you tell?
I’m wearing another Chloe Skin from EXILE today. I loooove these make ups.

Style Notes:
Micah Kanto is an adventurous designer, exploring shape, color, texture and ranging from sweet floral femininity to avant garde exploration of the extremes of fashion. With the three short summer dresses recently released by Modern Gypsy, the avenue for exploration was color and pattern. I love the bright summery boldness of the batik print with tribal inspirations. And sure enough, while looking at other constructions by the SL sim artist Glyph Graves, I found a sculpture installation that is almost the kinetic expression of the dress.
The title of the exhibit is Here Be Creatures and it’s a constantly moving, shifting light show that can entertain and mesmerize. You can find it Arachnod here: Here Be Creatures.
Happy Mood is such a delightful store. It’s hard to describe because it sells such a mix of items, but if you want one word, it’s a store that sells whimsy. Whimsy is the defining word for the secret garden at Happy Mood – a multi-level mixture of culvert tunnels, trees, flowers and fun. When I put on this fun Vive La Bohome dress from Modern Gypsy, I immediately though of whimsy and that made me go to Happy Mood for the photos.
Sometimes an outfit is just dreamy with soft, gentle colors – all flowing and romantic. That’s the case with this one, though the dreaminess begins with the stunning hair from BOON. The new XFE275 hair from BOON is an amazing confection that I like think came out of dreams – nice, misty dreams or roses and romance.
