Travelling Thoughts
Outside is looking very white today, but when I was putting this look together my mind was on vacation; wandering to markets and beaches in warmer countries, travelling back to days before my time and suddenly…
*More and product details after the cut*
… I was searching for laid-back and adventurous boho with a slight retro luxe feel. Usually when luxury is mentioned it’s pretty natural to think “excess”, but here I’m thinking in terms of quality and comfort rather than diamonds and platinum. Like mentioned in a previous post – nothing in Second Life is literally uncomfortable, but what I wear can definitely affect as well as depend on my mood and right now I am really longing for a warm breeze. Can you tell?
The Kurotsubaki top almost creates the illusion of being in a windy setting, it is very flowing and also what I based the outfit on. I’m sure it works very well with a minidress and flats too, which was how I originally intended to wear it along with a long scarf and fedora or a big floppy hat. Instead I went for the white slacks and a simple bikini top to cut down on the “boho” and add a bit of casual class. These shoes are my latest favourites, nevertheless I’d gladly let my hair down and carry them in my hand had I a gorgeous beach in sight. (TR, this means I am dragging you to one. Vacation please?)

I like your Style more and more! I can feel the laid-back
And Marni, I know which scene you mean!

Lovely!! Great look!
Now, you get me thinking about going to Armidi for those sandals.
March 20th, 2008 at 00:23
Awww I absolutly love the look! Everything in it! I need to get that blouse/cardigan and that sunglasses… oh my! Lovely Mariya!
March 20th, 2008 at 00:43
I love it Mariya! The fantastic thing about you blogging all of these outfits is that I get to learn all of your secret shops. Finally!
March 20th, 2008 at 01:21
Woo, I thought I was the only one that knew about Manna and her extraordinary bags and artist items! Secret revealed much?! But of course the incredibly stylish M has it too :3 Who else?? I particularly love this relaxed look and the fact that you pictured it with two different hair makes it even more awesome. I wanna spend the day at the beach with you (and that includes sex, rolling naked in the sand like little sushis in sticky rice, woo woo woo)! I kinda retired from designing because I am a sheep and I tend to follow fashion trends closely, and I thought Boho died. And it was all my inspiration then went with it. But as summer approaches, I see more and more of it once again, I think people love that style and don’t get tired of it! So it makes me want to get back in PS soon. *squees* xxxxx

The Kurotsukaki top also creates the illusion of you being skinny. It *almost* had me fooled.
P.S. PLZ REMEMBER TO COMB YOUR HAIR NEXT TIME KTHNX.

Mariya – So fun and cute. I can totally see you wearing that strolling down RODEO DRIVE, looking totally cool. Or holding your shoes on a beach in CANCUN or shopping ANYWHERE on a warm and sunny day spring/summer day (since I’m in the US–Miami, Dallas, Austin, LA, New York). I love pairing Kurotsubaki and Armidi with anything, their stuff if just great…Another winning post again.
March 20th, 2008 at 17:17
ooh Mariya, you definitely chose the right look for the weather here, today I’m enjoying a gloriously sunny spring day
sorry for rubbing it in… I hope those in colder weathers won’t hate me for it

This was just what I needed — thoughts of summer and beaches after the the snow in Stockholm!
March 20th, 2008 at 20:56
I definitely need some sun. Canada’s blistery winters are getting to me. ^^
