Aloha!
Long time no blogging, huh? Looks like my virtual vacation turned into a vacation from the virtual – my wireless connection is being impossible since the other day (hence the lack of posts), so I haven’t been able to login to SL until last night. This is the best I could do under the circumstances.

Loving fashion and despising trends wouldn’t make perfect sense to me. As trends can work sort of like a mirror of what’s going on in the world or reflect where we’ve been, as well as a pendulum swinging from one extreme to another, I always remain a bit fascinated whether or not I like the current it-items or choose to “succumb” and actually go with the latest. One of this spring/summer’s more unusual RL-trends is in a sense turning the runway into a stage and I must say… this time I’ll gladly play along. It’s dreamy, full of imagination and a tad theatrical. Eccentrics should be delighted.

I started out today with a look from Jennifer Lopez’ latest video Hold It Don’t Drop It in mind. In it, she wears these over-the-knee boots with a white baby doll dress. However, I then realised I did a white baby doll dress look just a couple of days ago…

Here’s an anti-romance look before we go into romantic overdrive tomorrow.

It’s a rock chic dress with lots of attitude that I just love –it’s from Punch Drunk, and quite frankly, the best work I’ve seen from them so far. I accessorised with a sexy collar (on the Spine) and a little black and silver necklace (on Chest) and some fierce stud cuffs.
A word on these new shoes from Maitreya: In my little honest opinion, they have taken shoe design in Second Life to a new level. Never mind the exquisite technical execution (which we have come to expect from Maitreya by now) it’s the very design that gets my belly fluttering — we have a platform with a ridiculously high heel that come together in a BEAUTIFUL silhouette, which looks so high-fashion it hurts! There are other designers on the grid, who perhaps strive for that same panache, but never really manage to shake the hooker-heel feel from their footwear. This is NOT the case with these….. Bravo!, Onyx Leshelle

I was listening to the brilliant Amy Winehouse when I got dressed today.

I titled the post “Vaguely Amy” as she’s truly inimitable, and I’m by no means claiming I got her style down at all.

I started the look with this beehive-ish hairdo and then continued with the black cut-out dress, opaque tights, and finished with Amy’s signature ballerinas (black, not pink, granted).

I accessorised with some funky jewelry in black and gold.

I’ve had these over-knee boots for a while and I’ve been wanting to wear them, but I never managed a look that didn’t look just trashy. So, today I experimented with an urban, rock-chic version and I think the boots come out looking good.

I wanted a tiny leather jacket with a large sweater underneath and, oh my was that difficult! This little biker jacket here was perfect and caused no problem; the trouble started with finding something longer that was NOT on the Jacket Layer — eventually (after a lot of testing, fiddling and hair pulling) I went with this sweater on the Shirt Layer and a piece from a Camie Cooper Tee on the Pants Layer (God bless Camie Cooper, the queen of providing ALL layers) to cover the midriff part. Granted, the midriff part is not in the same colour as the sweater, but I actually kind of like the contrast. Finally, the sweater I used, came with this prim bottom attachment that was perfect for that big loose feeling I wanted. I continued with black pants (on the Underpant layer) and then added a beret just because it felt right.

Oh dear, I hope all that was not too confusing! A disclaimer: the bottom prim part of the sweater was actually really hard to make fit perfectly (I never managed a perfect fit), so if you prefer, just skip it for less of a headache.
