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.

I really had no intention of posting today as I like to be lazy on Saturdays. However, I went to check out this new-to-me shop, Emery, and I immediately fell for this causal yet rocky dress.

Although it’s definitely a dress, I felt for a more slouchy T-shirt kind of look and added a pair of white skinny jeans and a belt around the hips. My feet went into these pointy stilettos with the strong fuchsia providing an element of colour and picking up on the print on the dress.

These aviator glasses are also from Emery — love them too!

Here’s an earthy and hot look to get you noticed.

The dress is one of those that really does all the work on its own. It’s sexy, well cut and well textured — I especially like the lacy texture on the skirt prims. However, there is a big drawback; the price. At 800L$ it’s perhaps stretching it a little.

Nevertheless, it’s definitely a dress I like and enjoy wearing. I paired it with a pair of knee-high brown boots, wood jewellery and super-sexy hair.

A rock-chic look with a splash of feminine pink.

The centre piece is of course the pink leather jacket, which I paired with a plain black T-shirt and black skinny jeans. I chose these sexy knee-high boots and the studded belt for some edge.

This necklace here is actually one of the very first pieces I ever bought! It works perfectly for this look. I finished off with the slouchy hat on straight hair for a current flavour.

I realise this dress is by no means a new release but for some mysterious reason it had passed me by completely and I only discovered it today.

Simply put; I adore it! Another fab creation from Maitreya. It’s casual yet chic and has a relaxed sexiness about it — this dress will take you anywhere you need to go. I only added a pair of knee-high boots, some wooden bangles and sexy hair to complete the look.

Here’s a combination of two current favourites of mine.

It’s the leather Bomber jacket (with a great hoody) and the superb brown casual boots that Sofia found the other day. The Bomber is another product out of Muism and yet again they prove to me to be one of the top jacket designers on the grid. I combined it with a white turtleneck sweater (on the Shirt layer and system Underpants in white to cover the gap between jacket and jeans) and really skinny dark jeans, which together with the boots make for a warm and cosy winter’s day look. I also added a white bag for a little lightness. This is something I would typically wear on a normal day in RL.

A word on the bling in the boots: I had lots of trouble removing the bling script and replacing it with a “no bling script” to make it actually stop — but that is very likely due to my clumsiness with prim-manipulations (the script sits in the lower buckle on each boot). I also wanted to give you the link to an article over on Second Style Fashionista with a free “no bling” script offered by Celebrity Trollop - Click Here. It’s not always enough to remove the bling script, you have to replace it with one of these to make it really stop.

… late night … booty calls - SHINY DISCO BALLS….

And I’m sure that the majority of people reading this have no idea what the hell the title and start of this blog post are referring to - but if you do, good for you.  As I mentioned yesterday, there will actually be two blog posts today - and they both follow one theme:  Music.

Music is something that I find universally inspires everyone - like a muse; go figure.  Ever since Milla had given me the oppurtunity to blog on MichaMi I have been bugging my good friend Catero Revolution to do a blog post with me - why? Because he’s just so stylish and sexy - I mean let’s face it, Catero’s got good taste - and his avatar always looks delicious.  Soo… long story short, after a little poking and proding, he finally agreed to do one with me - so long as it involved one thing: Disco.

Not being a huge fan of the Disco era, or at least not having an extremely comprehensive knowledge of the era - it did take a little convincing - however, I like the Scissor Sisters and having a good time every now and then… so… I’ll go with it:

As soon as Catero showed up to take the pictures in his outfit, I knew I had to do something that was a bit more simple; when you’re dressing as a couple - you dont want it to seem as though you’re competing with each other for the spotlight.  Piecing this together was fairly simple in many respects, but it took some serious digging through my landmark library to actually find something that would work.  I started with a bob with some razor sharp angles and bangs, very Cleopatra-esque.  From there I simply went for a bright strapless jumper with the most rediculously bright belt I could find… glitter and highly saturated colors - check.  I finished off my whole look with a pair of basic metalic pumps and for fear of overdoing it anymore than we already had, I left it at that.  Oh, and let’s not forget that strong cat-eye makeup as well…

How Catero came up with his look?  It probobly involved some mushrooms and a darklight, that’s all I can say.

*ignore my bearclaw hand in the picture, I have no idea why it looks like that.
