Uniform

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

I felt for something a little edgier today so I headed for Canimal.

I ended up with this alternative to the little black dress. I paired the uniform-like jacket with a little tiny mini-skirt. The ripped silk stockings are just sexy and a nice balance for the strictness of the top. I finished off with chunky sandals and lots of diamonds for some contrast.

The Devil Wears Paper Couture

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Now that I’ve embraced the fact that summer is drawing to an end, and autumn is inevitably coming, I’ve started looking seriously at the autumn collections being released in-world. My first stop was (of course) Paper Couture (I know, so very late and far behind all other fashionistas). This outfit here was my first pick.

How gorgeous is this? The high-waisted leather skirt, the corsette detail on top of the jumper, the over-sized turtle neck — just fab!

Only heavy duty jewels will do for this super diva; diamond earrings and a diamond ring of considerable size. The bag is also Paper Couture and just divine.

I would also like to draw your attention to my shoes.

These lovelies are something my darling Trev has been working on lately and I just had to give you all a little sneak peak of what will be coming soon. :o )

Volumes

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

I’ve been craving voluminous pieces in SL for a long time now and I’m happy to say I’m starting to see really good such creations lately. Here is one gorgeous dress with a slightly unusual cut.

image-1_01aug2007_1.jpgimage-2_01aug2007_6.jpg

It’s almost a tulip-cut, which has been seen on RL catwalks for a while now, or at least when I added the skirt prim from another dress as a petticoat underneath, it gives the impression of a tulip-cut, especially as you move around. Not only that, the back is fabulously glam with a big prim bow asymmetrically placed on one shoulder blade. With all this loveliness already baked into the dress, I stayed monochrome and minimal with the accessories, only adding long and dangling silver earrings and black and white shoes with a cute little bow on the toe.

This hair feels fun and slightly 70′s and Goldie Hawn to me, and I like how it gives soft cuteness to the look. I went for lush lips as I’m so low on jewelry.

Anna Sui-esque

Monday, July 16th, 2007

I saw this dress over on Style Disorder and had a vision of an Anna Sui-esque (spring/summer 07) look that I really like. This is how it turned out.

The dress is probably a bit too sexy (with the plunging neckline) to accurately represent the look, but I still think it’s a good Second version. It is deliciously big, poufy and girly and sways beautifully in the wind (note: there were no glitch pants included with the dress so I made a pair of white system pants that you can’t see, but that are very necessary as the swaying will reveal your naked behind when yo walk). White knee-high boots (with system knee-high socks) and a white scarf are all the accessories needed.

Anna Sui-esque
This hair with the chopped bangs and strands covering some of the naked shoulders was just perfect. I went for non-girly make-up to avoid looking sugary sweet and to add a little edge.

Parachute Cape

Friday, May 18th, 2007

This is one jacket that I have been wanting to creat a look around for a while, but I just couldn’t get it to work. I’ve seen similar jackets in countless fashion spreads and really wanted to try my version. Then, along came the Christina outfit from Last Call. I adore the highwaisted pants with all the buttons, just delicious. However, at first, I didn’t think the two would work… but to my surprise, I think they do!

I added short and cute hair, my favorite platforms and a chic bag. Voilà!

Shorts Are In This Spring

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Here’s an outfit I’ve seen a lot lately in fashion magazines and that I just adore.

Now, these shorts are not to be confused with the omnipresent booty shorts, although at first glance the difference may seem minimal….
Shorts Are In This Spring
These are high-waisted and oh-so-classy. I’ve paired them with a modest upper body and elegant hair to balance out the hoochie-factor. The shorts are from Cashmere, the blouse from Simone! (with some divine flexi prim cuffs) and the shoes are from LC Vamp.
