It’s Saturday, everyone!  The final push for weekend before a little holiday has finally paid off.  That doesnt necessarily mean that it’s time to kick off your shoes and lay back, though!  Tonight, ladies – we’re going out.  Today’s (tonight’s) outfit is really for heading out to your favorite lounge with a few of your girlfriends (or even that special someone?) for some cocktails and maybe a little dancing:

What I’ve done here is started off with my absolute favorite mini dress to ever hit the grid by the legendary Ginny Talamasca.  The bright and bold midnight blue color (which from certain angles looks purple to me?) made it really easy to decide what would be appropriate for accompaniment; black tights. 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you should know that black tights have been all the rage and by adding the black tights and those really adorable ankle boots from Armidi, I was able to turn this silky summer mini into the perfect winter frock.  I chose to accessorize with a long silver heart drop necklace from Cailyn’s with little flexi tassels that mimics the neckline in the dress quite nicely and I have also added a simple black clutch; despite the fact that purses in Second Life are hardly practical - and in reality with an outfit like this I probably would have opted for a wristlet. 

To give this look a little edge, I’ve finished it off with long wavy hair with super cute fringe bangs and makeup with a very smoky white highlight under the eye. 

Also, let me just add – because I haven’t seen this floating around the Fashion Planet feed:  I am so glad that G.L.A.M. is back – apparently it’s been back for a while but I had no idea!  The black tights in this outfit are from one of the many new outfits available on the G.L.A.M.sim, so I am including the SLURL to the new place for everyone to go check out.

I practically make it my mission in Second Life (and in real life) to always have my finger firmly pressed upon the pulse.  I love staying with what’s hot and what’s new when Im shopping around.  Today’s outfit mixes a bit of the new and old to create a trendy and chic look that I wouldnt mind strutting my stuff down the streets of Manhattan in any day:

The inspiration for this outfit came almost entirely from this new adorable knit jacket from Cubic effect that’s been floating around the Fashion Planet feed in quite a few posts.  Since the advent of sculpties in Second Life, designers grid-wide have really been pushing the envelope to create new and original things for us to wear, and a quick glance through any given Japanese sim can really reveal quite a few hidden treasures.  To create a whole look, I added a simple pair of blue jeans tucked into some of my favorite chocolate colored boots from Last Call: Covet with a plain white tank.  I’ve accessorized with a knit cap from Tesla, a french feather print purse, and of course my new favorite chain necklace (a sculptie rose); an early christmas gift from my good friend Mariya Nesiote <3.  And since Wednesday was officially the first day of Winter, I have given Fall a proper send-off by wearing all of my earthy tones and fall colors.

Hi everyone!  I have a really horrible habit of babbling, so I’m going to try to keep this short and sweet.  I am really excited and truly flattered that Milla has asked me to fill in for her in the blog while she is away on holiday and I hope I can manage to bring you all your daily dose of fashion without getting too boring!  I dont imagine that I’ll be able to quite fill Milla’s shoes, but I’ll try to at least bring you all some of my own flavor in the meantime.

 Annnyway, the idea of being published in the Fashion Planet feed has totally given me a case of SLebrity Syndome, and therefor I have decided that today’s outfit would be inspired by that; a perfect introduction – something simple and classy that’s appropriate for any of those SLebrity events you may be attending:

I’ve started out with this absolutely gorgeous dress by Miriel Enfield that actually was a freebie (even better!) before it was available in her store; the Echo dress.  For me, color is always a huge deciding factor when I’m going to purchase something, and very typical to Miriel’s style the Echo dress has this beautiful fade where the colors blend ever so delicately to combine two colors which compliment each other very well.  As is obvious with a dress like this, very little accessory is actually needed, but I wanted to add something to spice it up without making it too over-the-top, so I’ve accessorized with pieces from Caliah Lyon’s recent Kailena set; which I actually feel give it a bit more of a casual feel.  Finished off with a pair of metallic gold pumps to match and a unique up-do to show off at least a little skin at the shoulders, the whole look was complete with little to no fuss at all; just how I like it!

I’m leaving for my Christmas and New Year holiday today (yay!) and I will not be in-world again until January 4th, 2008.

To my great pleasure, the very lovely and beautiful Sofia Gray has agreed to post some of her stylish looks for you while I’m gone.

Sofia is a well-known model and fashionista, who also write the blog The Diary of a Second Life Socialite. Look out for her posts in the coming days!

Welcome to MichaMi Style Sofia!

I found a new-to-me designer today and picked out this jacket and pant set.

I was checking out Storm Schmooz’s new main store on Modish when I strolled into one of the neighbouring stores; UK Couture. I really like the jacket with all the little straps and belts — I have a thing for military/uniform-esque clothing and this here appeals to that side of me. My only complaint would be that I would like it on all the layers (it currently only comes on the Shirt layer) to make it really versatile. I added a tank in black underneath for some extra cover. I’m wearing the white pants on the Underpant layer for a really skinny look. That skinny look was accentuated nicely by these funky boots and the wide belt in silver.

A cute and casual look.

I started with this adorable stripy sweater that has some very good texturing with a hint of glitter baked in — and you have to love the little prim flower! I teamed it with a pair of wool slacks and then layered some tights and socks underneath. My feet went into my current favourite ankle boots. I added the little neck-scarf and the side-tie belt to kind of echo the stripes of the sweater and then finally I added the simple string of black pearls and some black hoops for my jewellery.

A preppy college girl look today.

I’ve got velvety textures in both the skirt and the jacket and it gives the look a warm wintry feel. I accessoried with black details in the hairband, scarf, belt, bag, knee-high socks and ankle boots.

It’s Friday night and I always want to party.

So, it is no secret that I’m a huge fan of Digit Darkes (previously known as X3D), so I can only conclude that Sasy Scarborough (who works for DD) knew exactly what she was doing when she dropped this fabulous dress on me (in my favourite pink, no less). Well, whatever Sasy had in mind, it worked — I LOVE this dress! It’s pink, its unusual and it rocks! It is very high fashion with a prim skirt that moves in fabulous ways — you really have to see it! In order to also make it sexy (to our male admirers) I added the black leather collar and wristbands and the sexy hair-do. This was also the perfect opportunity to wear a pair of pink pumps and look good.

Something of an eclectic mix today — without a real plan or purpose — except wanting to look good, of course!

I’ve been wanting to wear this cardigan for ages and today was the day. I felt for something girlie so I went with the little pleated skirt, I then added gray lycra tights and chunky black pumps for a more wintry daytime feel. I continued with jet black accents in the scarf, bag and gloves, and finished with a cameo with black pearls and black hoop earrings. I have to say I really like how the yellow of the cardigan brightens up the whole look.

Just a little note; I will not be online for the next couple of days so no posts during that time.  I hope to have something new for you again on Friday.
