Stopping off in another place to look for letters for the Room 326 hunt as it draws to a close before MadPea Productions opens a new hunt, I saw this fabulous old merry-go-round and had to go for a ride. I was dressed in some of the items from the last two Baiastice releases including this gorgeous handbag released a couple of weeks ago. With a rich alligator hide and classic styling, it’s a wonderful handbag to hold all those letters I am finding (or not finding).
I had so much fun posing and shooting this dress. That is because the mesh is simply amazing and I loved watching it work its magic when I changed poses. You see that fold of fabric in the front. Watching it fold and unfold as I moved, I was a struck by what is truly an amazing job of mesh engineering. The dress is from Gizza and is available at Euphoria LIMITED. There are only 100 copies for sale, so get there quick. Update: DANG! It’s already sold out. I hope Gizza releases this in other colors. UPDATE: It has been released in other colors.
Shiki is back with a gorgeous new gown that, whether Shinichi Mathy planned it or not, works perfectly as a long or short dress. Working with system layers and flexes, Mathy’s doing it old school, but with skill that never gets old. The Osbcurus dress can be worn short with this pouf of fabric in a short and sassy outfit.

My New Year’s Resolution is to blog more – cause we all know I suck at blogging regularly… and since Luna JUST posted her last post of the 52-Week’s of Color Part Deux, I have some catching up to do……
So here goes… Week 11 Aquamarine. I chose this dress from GizzA, quite a while back and have had it in my “to be blogged” folder just waiting for me to get off my ass and blog….
Its a beautiful, flowing casual gown suitable for an afternoon wedding or a late night walk on the beach with the man of your dreams….

So I am looking forward to the new Doctor Who Christmas Special tomorrow. It’t called the Snowmen and while I have very little idea what it’s about, it’s quite likely it will have scary snowmen. But will they be this scary? Of course, I would happily face this psycho snowman if it meant traveling space and time with the Doctor and enjoying a timey-wimey universe. The top is from Tameless – a find on Marketplace – however it’s not standard sized and I had to reduce my butt a bit because there was one tiny spot that peeked through. All the photos for this post are raw, unedited pics from Second Life. I used a projector and got that grainy texture using RenderSSAOFactor in the Debug menu.
FaMESHed opened yesterday, showcasing another collection of excellent original mesh creations including this gorgeous top from Zaara. Designer Zaara Kohime draws from her country’s traditions in this draped top with its rich brocade embellished with gold embroidery. She released this in both gold and silver options and in a rainbow of bright and muted color.
I pulled out some old cigarette pants from One Bad Pixel. I love the sheen in these pants and how that picks up the metallic threads in the top. The shoes are from Deco – with bold black glitter giving me some head to toe sparkle.
Speaking of sparkle, this updo from Exile for FaMESHed is stunning. I love the stray wisps and the suggestion of movement they convey. It’s a bold, wild style with just the perfect amount of disarray. To finish off, I added some simple, bold jewelry from Baiastice and the always classic Faith from PXL Creations.

There’s a bite in the air and it’s time for the rich, warm fabrics of autumn. The wools, tweeds, knits that layer beautifully to keep us warm and cozy. This fabulous tweed dress from Fanatik can be found at the October FaMESHed showcase.
I wanted a bit of extra warmth with the bare shoulders, so I added a poncho from PrettyMoonS. PrettyMoons is a new store to me, one I found searching on Marketplace for red outerwear that would coordinate with the bold belt on the dress.

Chic Management’s new monthly showcase FAIR has a clever organizing framework. Each monthly showcase is limited to twelve designers each of whom are assigned an hour of the day to serve as their inspiration. It’s a lovely conceit and for many of the items, I could see how the time of day inspired their design immediately. It is fun to walk the clock and try to figure out if I can follow their train of thought. Some were less successful than others are making an obvious connection to their time of day, but I like the challenge and seeing their efforts to meet it.
Miffyhoi Rosca of Zenith was assigned 3 PM and coincidentally, I am typing this very sentence at 3:01 PM. I can’t quite make the connection between the time of day and the off-shoulder sweater, but I certainly can make a connection to the sweater. It comes in three colors and also has matching socks that I did not put on. It’s comfy and cozy and so chic at the same time.
