Look of the Day

I don't think I've mentioned it here, but I'm also blogging over at iheartsl.com. This allows me to get my stuff out on Fashion Planet, and blogging with a group is really a lot of fun! But, I don't want to completely neglect this blog either -- in case anyone is looking!

I'll post my "look of the day" photos here too, and any other entries that don't exactly fit with the iheartsl fashion focus. I'll also certainly post any new release info. here, too.

You can find the credits for this great look here!

Look of the Day

I've been focusing on mid-waisted pants recently -- but decided to mix things up and post a favorite in the lower-rise category. I am seriously in love with these Drifter pants from Pushbutton Industries. When the purple ones were released for the clothing fair, I couldn't wait to snap them up! The interesting detail is just fabulously done!

pants -- the Drifter; Pushbutton Industries (RFL version)
boots -- shiny things
necklace -- Violet Voltaire, Hethr Necklace
bangles -- Slink, silver beaded bangles
hair -- ETD Cutsie

Fabulous Ribbon Jeans!

I like to design tshirts, so am always on the lookout for interesting jeans and shorts. As soon as I saw these fun jeans, I had to have them! I had to have them immediately, and could not wait. They are by Moonshine Clothing, and at that moment, they could only be found at the Clothing Fair. So, I stripped down to my system self and headed on over. Much to my delight, I got into the fair immediately, and didn't experience too much lag. This was my first clothing fair, and I was like a kid in a candy shop. I think I drained my account in 10 minutes! I did try to mostly focus on things that were in the special RFL vendors (and freebies of course!), so I don't regret a moment of it. I haven't even opened up all my goodies yet -- but I'm sure you'll be seeing some of them in future posts :)

By the way -- I did not design this tshirt, but it is a spectacular one! I love the crisp graphics!

My Other Life

Even in Second Life I have more than one life! (well -- that is one of the points of SL, right?) Since I joined SL four months ago, I have had a soft spot in my heart for the communities of Caledon. I've been on their citizenship roles for some time, and am shortly to become a founding landowner of the new Caledon sim, Glengarry. To get ready for actually taking up residence on my tiny plot of land, I've been trying to acquire a few outfits that I enjoy, and will let me fit in comfortably into the Victorian Steampunk society. (The fashion parameters of Victorian Steampunk are still a bit vague to me -- but I'm going to keep working on that!) I was delighted to find this outfit at Layniewear's fire sale. Laynie has made the pieces of this outfit on a gazillion layers -- a little overwhelming at first, but guaranteed to be very useful! As soon as I got it on, I ran back to buy more colors.

And what could set off a steampunk look more than watchfaces?!? These pieces by Magika are absolutely wonderful! The hands on the watches move constantly, and just scream "time traveler".

Glam: All Dressed Up

Ahh... these boots. I'm in love with these boots. You may start to be realizing by now that I'm a fairly casual girl, and don't glam it up too often. But -- the moment I saw these boots, I had to have them (and a silver pair as well!). Of course, that meant I had to have something shiny to wear with them. I'm hugely fond of Punch Drunk's rock star outfit, which I've had for some time, so I went back to check out some of her other stuff. This bronze dress jumped right into my inventory! A few teal accents, and I'm ready to go.... somewhere!

How do you build an outfit around copper stockings with rivets? This is my first attempt. I like the look, but will still be on the lookout for those perfect complements! Let me know if you have any tips for me. Happy Day!

Mixed Nuts

I spent my time in-world today building, so opted for a quick and casual outfit. I've had (and loved) this jacket from /artilleri/ for some time. It was the perfect complement to these great new capris from SWA. With spring and summer coming, I'm pretty sure her 20-pr fatpack has my name on it!

Silent Sparrow Sunday

It's a little surprising that it has taken me so long to blog some of the wonderfulness from Silent Sparrow -- I'm a big fan! Plus, I acquired a huge inventory in the recent remodeling sale :). But, I just joined a newly-formed Silent Sparrow flickr group, and wanted to contribute. The look as a whole is probably not typically Silent Sparrow, but one of the beauties of Hya's work is its mixability. The look started with this beautifully-textured camisole, which was a group freebie.

Camisole: Silent Sparrow
Sweater Shrug: LaLa FooFoo
Pants: Silent Sparrow; (from icicle suite)
Shoes: Shiny Things
Belt: [OMFG] Rusty Cute Belt

Look of the Day: Preppie Plaid

I was looking for an outfit to attend an educational meeting -- and this one from Kitchy Boutique just fit the bill.. And like my best work outfits, didn't require a lot of extra accessorizing.

Clothes: Kitchy Boutique: Prep (blue): plaid jacket; charcoal pants; blue tank
Shoes: Shiny Things: Tritones, denim blue
Necklace: Aitui - Grid Necklace: by kiki:

Look of the Day: Mini skirt

I didn't think I was a tight mini-skirt kinda girl, but this skirt from /artilleri/ was absolutely irresistible. I have a feeling that more colors are in my future! Also -- take a look at these earrings from [Woo's!] -- they are color change, and I'm loving them!

I made this shirt!!!

It may not be the fanciest, but I am inordinately proud of this shirt -- I made it completely from scratch, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. And -- its pink. What else is there to say? :)

Pink is Hot!

[apologies if you are seeing this post twice -- I goofed on the first one, and, most importantly, didn't have all the credits completely correct :(]

As you may have noticed, I'm a big fan of Allegory Malaprop's striped pants -- I bought the fat pack as soon as it came out. How excited do you think I was when she recently added hot pink to her color range, and added it to my stash?!? I made a new t-shirt especially to go with the pants, and topped it off with this fun jewelry from [Woo's!], which I found in the FreeStyle tent at La Reina.

I am just loving this jacket from Kurotsubaki -- I especially love the lace-trimmed cuffs.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I'm on the fashion.iheartsl.com feed -- WooHoo! Thanks for letting me play :) {and greetings to Salvia -- thanks for your kind words yesterday :)}

My rezz day was in November, but I still feel pretty much like a noob. I don't get in-world nearly as much as I would like right now. I aspire to learn as much as possible about design and building -- but love to play and connect with folks as much as I can.

Before this sounds too much like a pitch for a dating service, On to the Look! I started with the fun skirt from Curious Kitties, but quickly fell in love with the accessorizing! How is it that you start with one item in your closet, and never have enough of the right stuff to go with it? {even if you do have more than 13,000 items in your inventory} This look required several additional shopping trips! I'm really intrigued by the stuff at Kurotsubaki (can also find a small store in Cotton Candy) -- this bangle watch is right up my alley.

Have a great day!

Shirt: /artilleri/ (group gift)
Skirt: Curious Kitties, Muzakashe Riri Skirt
Bangle: Kurotsubaki, rabbit bangle watch
Necklace: /artilleri/, wing heart necklace
Earrings: /artilleri/, bead hoop earrings (color change)

Not easy!

Probably a lot of you know this already -- putting together a good mix-and-match look is not really all that easy! Hopefully, a little more experience will help in that regard :). This look started with the leggings and boots. And, I adore these bracelets. This outfit gave me chance to wear one of my own tshirts that I've been working on! (*another learning curve to master*)

Nosfercoat

If I did it right, I should get my blog added to the ihearts fashion feed soon! I'm counting on the fact that it is in the feed to help keep me motivated to post regularly. I'm pretty new at this, so constructive feedback is always welcome :)

This look is also inspired by a Valentine gift (tho' note there is not a bit of pink here!) It all started with the fabulous coat -- so I tried to keep the focus on that. I admit that I feel a bit doctorish in it right now -- and it caused me to realize that my closet is seriously under-accessorized.
