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.

My friend Maddox Dupont tipped me off about this (new-to-me) Italian designer, the shop is called Baiastice and is probably as couture as pixels get. I picked out this fabulous feather jacket (and we all know feathers are HUGE this season) as something very representative of the designer.

After yesterday’s excesses I needed a dose of sleek simplicity.
It comes in the form of this sporty-chic look that I adore — this is a look you should be seeing more of in RL fashions for the spring and summer as well. The pink jacket is what embodies the look I’m trying for with it’s clean lines and geometrical details, and to enhance the sportiness, I paired it with these white leggings and a high set ponytail. Now, as a true fashionista, I couldn’t leave off the stilettos (would I ever!) so I wore these delicate nude heels, which I think puts the “chic” into this look perfectly.

Today I’ve indulged in my beloved creamy golds and gone for this understated and elegant look.
We have a beautiful golden halter neck top with which I paired this super trendy corset belt. In order to dress down both these special pieces, I added a transparent white blouse to cover the arms and the back, and then opted for tan trousers (as opposed to a skirt) to make the look really versatile (it will take you from daytime to night-time without modification). I kept the rest of the accessories in theme with the colour scheme; stack heels in tan, white pearls and golden chains, and finally a chic little clutch.

Here is one of those super chic looks I like so much, that I put it together using some very special pieces that I immediately loved.
Starting with the fabulous sweater dress from Ce Cubic Effect — I had been reading about the shop for a while (from Sofia no less) but didn’t get myself over there until the other day; and that was not a minute too soon. The sculptie work on this dress is something I’ve never seen before; the skirt, the collar and the sleeves melt perfectly into the underlying clothes layers and just gives it this unique and truly 3D effect. The cut of the dress is also superb — I especially love the unsymmetrical hemline and the short sleeves; the latter very prominent in RL fashions this season. I dressed it with opaque tights, long gloves, a black t-shirt and a belt in the waist for a wintry city look.
Next on my love list are these sunglasses — perfection! Again, I had read about them for months on the blogs but didn’t actually get them until yesterday and now I don’t ever want to take them off! Perfect size, perfect shape, perfect reflections… *sigh*
Last, but definitely not least, this hair! It’s so Katie Holmes and so “right now”; and ETD has had it for ages! I happened across it by accident as I was systematically picking up all the hairstyles I didn’t already own at the sale — what a lovely surprise indeed.

Today I have two variations of the same theme for you: red coats with wide belts.
Look 1
This first one here is a younger, edgier and very current version, with a slightly military feel to it. The coat (from GLAM) has the top part on the Shirt layer, thereby allowing me to use this uber-sexy leather corset belt on the Jacket layer. I modified the coat Shirt layer by making it tight-fitting (it was a little loose) and by tinting the inner collar black (originally white).
The hair follows on the younger theme with a silky straight do and funky bangs.

It’s Saturday, everyone! The final push for weekend before a little holiday has finally paid off. That doesnt necessarily mean that it’s time to kick off your shoes and lay back, though! Tonight, ladies – we’re going out. Today’s (tonight’s) outfit is really for heading out to your favorite lounge with a few of your girlfriends (or even that special someone?) for some cocktails and maybe a little dancing:
What I’ve done here is started off with my absolute favorite mini dress to ever hit the grid by the legendary Ginny Talamasca. The bright and bold midnight blue color (which from certain angles looks purple to me?) made it really easy to decide what would be appropriate for accompaniment; black tights.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you should know that black tights have been all the rage and by adding the black tights and those really adorable ankle boots from Armidi, I was able to turn this silky summer mini into the perfect winter frock. I chose to accessorize with a long silver heart drop necklace from Cailyn’s with little flexi tassels that mimics the neckline in the dress quite nicely and I have also added a simple black clutch; despite the fact that purses in Second Life are hardly practical - and in reality with an outfit like this I probably would have opted for a wristlet.
To give this look a little edge, I’ve finished it off with long wavy hair with super cute fringe bangs and makeup with a very smoky white highlight under the eye.
Also, let me just add – because I haven’t seen this floating around the Fashion Planet feed: I am so glad that G.L.A.M. is back – apparently it’s been back for a while but I had no idea! The black tights in this outfit are from one of the many new outfits available on the G.L.A.M.sim, so I am including the SLURL to the new place for everyone to go check out.

Picking up on recent biker trends in RL fashions.
The little biker jacket started me off today – I like how it’s short and how the sleeves are 3/4 length. I combined it with a pair of gray striped trousers for a city-slick feel and then injected some colour with layered tops and matching shoes.
