Thursday, February 21st, 2008Did You Know?
Friday, February 15th, 2008I met up with my Japanese friend Okarina the other day, and she was wearing this super funky training jacket that I just had to have. She dropped the LM on me and I promptly left it stewing in my Inventory. Until today… When I landed in Bijou I thought it was a joke! How come I didn’t know about his place before??! Ok, I know that for a fashionista, my finger isn’t exactly on the fashion pulse on all things new (I rely on Sofia for that) but surely even I would have noticed something as gorgeous as this?!

New Constructions
Friday, February 8th, 2008I’m testing out two new (to me) constructions today; sculpted dress and textured hair.
I’ve seen some fully sculpted dresses around lately, but had not felt convinced that they would be nice. You see, I love movement in my clothes, so flexi prims are big favourites (sculpted prims cannot be made flexi). However, I like this dress! The sculpties allow for this gorgeous balloon/tulip shape that would not be possible (at least I think not!) with normal prims. Of course, this brilliant red colour does nothing to hurt it’s appeal.

The second new thing is what I call “textured” hair, granted this is not new, however, when they first appeared on the grid, I was very put-off by the overlapping alphas which made it flicker incessantly. Well, that is all gone now, and I have to say, I’m completely in love with this over-the-top, fabulous do, in fact I don’t ever want to take it off!
In conclusion, two big thumbs up from me for both of these new technical advances.

Quiet Glam
Sunday, January 13th, 2008I called this “quiet” as despite the gold lame capris and gold metallic tights, which would ordinarily take the glam factor sky-high, the look gave me a sense of chic maturity.
Maybe it’s the exquisitely textured pleated blouse or the super chic hair? I just know I’m walking around feeling oh so sophisticated.
I finally made it into ETD this morning! Yay! And I’m in love all over again. I re-discovered so many old favourites and some new ones I had never even considered before. ETD rocks!

Glam For Gloom
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008I got really tired of looking at the gloomy grey skies in RL of late and decided to exchange the RL gloom for some SL glam!
Unfortunately, today is a perfectly normal Tuesday with nothing fabulous on the agenda that would justify my need for glam, so I opted for a daytime look instead. This little gold sequinned number suited my purposes perfectly; its glam yet it has an element of sweetness with the cute silk ribbon around the hips and the demure neckline. In order to mitigate the super-mini skirt I simply added opaque black tights and then echoed the black on the arms as well. I finished by sticking my feet in a pair of chunky sandals, also in black to kind of “close the circle”.
Chunkier winter sandals are prevalent in RL fashion just now (perfect for stocking-glad feet) and I would LOVE to see some SL versions from our talented shoe designers. I’m wearing the Lolas from Shiny Things, one of my all-time favourites, and they are still the only ones out there as far as I could tell. I’m thinking heavier leather straps, perhaps some studs and definitely a small platform. Please! Pretty Please!
