Casually Rock

Friday, August 6th, 2010

A casual look with a tiny hint of rock today.  I’m really feeling these sexy, skinny cargo pants and I was finding it hard to take them off – they’re a great alternative to jeans too.  Also, I was happy to see that this tank included drawn necklaces, you don’t see those so much anymore and I think they’re underrated.  I’d love to see more on tattoo layers for example.

Casually Blue

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Keeping it simple and causal today with reds, whites and blues (I should have blogged this on the 4th of July…).  It’s still a little sexy with the jeans being skin-tight, the top so cropped and the sandals so fierce.

The Day After the Day Before

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Hushhhhhh! Not so loud, head hurting over here!  Last night was great, I think….  Pro tip: never ever ever drink snaps in the sun, urghhhh.  *pops a couple of aspirin with shaking hands*  Now, where was I?  I forget…. Never mind, I’m just gonna crawl under a rock and die.

Simply Red

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I’ve been a busy bee this last week, and I’ve not really bothered with getting dressed (hence no bloggage).  So I’ve gone for a super simple look today with a cute multi-colored mini skirt and a fabulously red boatneck top — love that red!

I’ve been wearing these headphones around for awhile too.    I find it fascinating how RL habits transfer over to SL.  The more stressed I am in RL, the more I like to retreat into my own world, and my first line of defense is always music.  My headphones (and the music they play) are like modern day armor against the barrage of noise and stress that every day life throws at you. And now, after some unfortunate SL-stress, I find myself putting headphones on my avatar too…..

Random Doodling

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So I really had lots to do today, but as usual I started procrastinating and did the SL equivalent of random doodling by trying out different stuff from my Inventory.  Soon I was zipping around the grid picking up new stuff that would go with the old stuff… and the next thing I knew, I had a new look!

Sloppy Chic

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I’ve got a disheveled, casual look going today.  Like I got up too late and just threw on layers of clothes I found lying on the floor; which all just happened to be in gray and green hues. ;)   And, because I won’t leave the house without accessories, I hung some heavy silver necklaces around my neck (with matching silver hoops), stuck my feet in killer stilettos, grabbed my bag and rushed out the door.

Sunday Stroll

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I’m feeling really casual today, so I went with a simple day-time look.  I found this tailored jacket at Argrace ; the striped turtle neck sweater actually comes as an extra option with it (there’s also a white shirt option) and I loved it!  I paired it with pair of favourite jeans and then added large hoops and the sexy zipper boots to add just a tiny bit of edge.

Geek Cruise

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

A slightly geeky cruise look for today.  I had to search high and low for the denim shirt until a friend told me about this one here from Gabriel (which is a new-to-me store) and it was perfect. I layered the shirt with a white undershirt (because I love my layers) and then paired it with  a shorts-and-long-socks combo.  I kept my accessories in brown, with the all important geek shades in a lovely tortoise shell texture.

Casual Friday

Casual Friday

I’ve got a casual Friday look in Autumn colours today; in warm browns and burgundies.  I’ve got different shades of brown in the scarf, skirt and boots, and a good dollop of brilliant burgundy in the sweater.  To frame it all a little, I scattered some whites in there with the tights and the shirt — the fishnet tights also add some edge to an otherwise preppy feel. The bag is an ancient Armidi piece, with colours that fit just perfectly.
