Sombre Colours For A Blue Girl

There is no hiding the fact that I have been very blue lately, slipping into s depression deeper than I have known before. I have been letting things slide, feel unable to force a smile, and feel little joy... and I wanted to wear the feeling I felt inside. This stunning set from "TULI" is incredible in it's fine details and brilliant use of Prim Pieces, and I felt warm and protected in it, covered from head to toe, something I rarely do... I needed to hide. Sometimes fashion says more about what is in out hearts than what is in our heads. Stylish, yes, but somehow just something to be invisible in.

Old Hollywood Glamour

I have waited to wear this fabulous slinky Vintage Inspired gown forever, and decided it's time had come. I wanted a Vintage look, something 'Old Hollywood', something Screen Siren, something a bit 'Femme Fatale'. This looks is all that and so much more. The gown, by "Sideshow Vintage' is a delicious Burnt Fuchsia/Rust colour and simply sizzles. Paired with the perfect Retro Coif, this one from "Hose Queen", Hair Combs included. A Shoulder Broach with a name like 'Chatelaine' from "MUSE" is the perfect accessory, as is the bit of kitsch provided by the cigarette holder. Old Hollywood, over-the-top, what Second Life Fashion dreams are made of.

The Flexi Poofy skirt is so adorable, the ribbon tied stockings are sexy, and the Fabulous Candy Pink of the Corset is delicious. Paired with "Maitreya"'s new black slinky stilettos and a sleek Pony Tail from "ETD", I felt ready to go just about anywhere. This look made me feel giddy inside.

Last Call for Last Call!

I, like so many in SL, was saddened by the news of the loss of Ginny Talamasca of "Last Call", and even though there was a huge sale at the store this week, I could not bring myself to go, let alone face the crowds and lag. I chose my pieces from Last Call carefully, and every Linden was well spent. Buying more for the sake of a sale didn't really appeal to me, I simply have more clothes than I can wear as it is. This set, the 'Aphrodite' has so many of the details I love about "Last Call by Dazzle Haute Couture". Clean, classic, romantic, and no detail left to chance. I will miss "Last Call", and there is nothing that can replace it. I will wear my collected works of Art with pride, and treasure each and every one. The locket, one of my other Treasure, from my Husband Draco, something I love to wear because it makes me feel close to him when he is away. I wish I had one like it IRL.

Tie On On! This New Year...

Well, my first flirtation with Fashion Creation on SL was a flop, see 'New Respect...' Post. This time I felt so fantastic I wanted to shout it to the world.. "I Made This!". My "Tie One On!" Bustier, fashioned from images of Men's Neckties, is just the sort of funky cool thing I LOVE! I am so thrilled with the result, I am selling them for just One Linden Dollar and my New Shop in Retrology. Paired up with some other funky faves, like this "Pixeldolls" Everything Skirt and some Chunky Boots from "Shiny Things", I was set to Party!

Babydoll Dress & Dreamy Heels

I have recently been collecting sweet Babydoll length dresses. This one, from "Heart Cupcakes" was love at first sight. The Rich Browns and Robin's Egg Blue in the Floral/Stripe Pattern are delicious. Paired with some tights and these fabulous sculpted heels from "REDGRAVE" it was instant pizazz and I felt like a princess in this look. The finishing touch, a suitably chunky necklace from "Swallowtail" makes the look complete and polished. I have been revisiting my "Maitreya" hair lately, and must say I love it for it's sleek styling and it's inclusion of face lights.

Classic Sassy Pants

This is another favorite look of mine, long in my wardrobe by "Last Call", the 'Christina' Pants Set is one of the perfect examples of why Ginny Talamasca was a genius. So many layer options, such clean lines and seems, perfectly polished details. Pared with some 'Clompies' from "Shiny Things", these in Midnight Blue, the look calls for little else then a sleek hair style and some classic accessories.

My sister Anessa Stine is always tipping me off to great new shops, and "::bijou::" was another winner for sure. Again, a tiny pet-peeve is the lack of glitch pants, but I whipped up some turquoise panties and was good-to-go.

The Science Fiction Event at PIN UPS finally gave me a change to wear this fabulous 'DE Raider' Costume from "DE Designs". I have had it for months, and waited till I found just the right hair for the real 'Lara Croft' look, this style from "Curl Up And Dye Salon" is perfection. I hate guns, but well, Lara would never be without them, these were freebies from a friend and are actually 'Han Solo' Guns so lasers, not bullets! I love the opportunity to piece to together the perfect look for the Daily contest events at the club.

This fabulous Dress, really a complete costume, is sweet and nostalgic, and has a touch of Gothic Lolita in it. I loved the PonPon details so much, and thought, why not add more! This 'Lagerfeld' headband from Meg Demina's "Chapeau Tres Mignon" is just the adorable touch I wanted. This look goes down into the 'All Time Fave' files for sure!

What's New Pussycat?

While at "Adam N Eve" I happened upon this sexy sleek Feline Costume, just what I needed for the "Naughty Nekos" event at PIN UPS. This is a complete look, including the Hair with Ears, the Tail, and the sexy bodysuit. I rarely go for a Latex look, but cats are slinky things, so I went for it. I can tell you this much, Draco definitely approved! Meow!

Lord & Lady of The Rings

I hadn't been in "Adam N Eve" in ages, and stopped in while looking for my costume for the "Fantasy & Folklore" Event at PIN UPS. I knew they had some fabulous period gowns and I needed just the right one to set off my "Arwen Evenstar" look from "Lord Of The Rings". I met up with Sachi Vixen, Co-Owner of "Adam N Eve" while there and she really is one of the kindest and most generous people on the GRID. I was delighted with my gown, and Sachi's attention to detail is outstanding. I got my husband Draco in on the act, as we love to match costumes, and he was my "Aragorn". Too many details to discuss, but this photo, a fave taken at the amazing Straylight SIM, shows just how well Sachi's 'Lady Jane" Gown met the need.

Going For The Mod Feel

A fellow fashion blogger tipped me off to a great new shop called "Pop Feel" last week, and it was such a delightful find! This Outfit; Coat, Shirt and Skinny Jeans, are an all in one look that is just one of the fabulous finds at "Pop Feel". I loved the 60s Mod Feel here, and the prim mock Turtle neck on the coat makes it just so sweet! Paired with my new fave shoes, well, anything "Armidi" becomes a fast fave, in a brilliant tangerine orange, I was all set to go. This looks saw me through DJing a fashion show and all around the grid and I loathed having to change out of it!

Channeling Chanel...

Well after recovering from the Post-New Year's Haze, I got back in the Swing of things with this very like "Chanel" Suit from the amazing "House of Nyla". Nyla's items are very expensive,so when I purchase something, I have to LOVE it, and this suit is to perfect. First of all, everything from the Saucy Hat, the Purse, Shoes, and Full Suit is included. Second, It required little or no prim tweaking for me. Third, well, look at that skirt! Pairing it with a new fave hair style, 'Mistletoe' from "Calla" completed the look of the power fashionista in my mind.

Bright New Year

A New Year, a bright new day! I had been waiting for the opportunity to wear this brilliant shrug and pants, both purchsed separately from "Digit Darkes". I loved the vibrant turquoise in the shrug, and the sculted shoulder puffs are so couture! These bright yellow paint splashed leather pants, cleverly called "Taxi" are so hot they sizzle. I tinted up a basic white tank from "/artilleri/" to match the purple accents in the jeans, and paired them with another fabulous pair of shoes, these from "Armidi Gisaci". An edgy cropped hairstyle completes the high fashion look!

Queeen Of New Years' Eve

New Year's Eve had me in the mood for a little Celebrating, and what better way than with the most Fabulous Gown from "Casa del Shai". This one is really a winner, with a lush full skirt and perfectly created seams and folds. It was the perfect choice for the "Black & White Formal Ball" at PIN UPS, and topped with a feather boa from "Callie Cline" and this sweet little crown from "Violet Voltaire" I was ready to Party All Night! My shoes, mostly hidden by my gown, are just too cute not to show you, and Melanie Zhao has some great little detailed pairs you should check out on your next trip to "ZHAO".

A Little Black Dress

For my Pre-New Year's Party, I pulled this sweet satin 'Little Black Dress' from my closet. Little Rebel has some great photo real goodies, and I had purchased this one way back when. I was not entirely thrilled with the edged on it, and no glitchies makes it a little difficult, so I made my own. But, I love the back tie detail and paired with these Fab new MUST HAVE black stilettos from "Maitreya", it is a sweet look for any party girl.

The Socialite!

For the plaid event, I decided to go Urban Sophisticate, and pulled this fabulous layered skirt from my closet. I love the movement of the sheer skirt over the plaid skirt and the prim ruched waist detail is really nice. A plain white blouse plays it cool, this one a staple from /artilleri/, and then a dark strand of pearls sets the whole look off. I have to say I am loving this Patent Leather Mary Janes from "Digit Darkes" and find endless excuses to wear them! This loose side Pony tail is so pretty, and makes me yearn for more releases from "H2L".
