Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Today’s look is a complete antidote to yesterday’s covered-up rainy day blues, with a dress made of sunshine!

Today’s look was inspired by two things; this dress and the turquoise jewellery.

Did You Know?

Friday, February 15th, 2008

I 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?!

Asian Chic

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Here’s a little chic Asian number I randomly picked up yesterday at Y&H.

I liked the black and pink-red texture and I also liked the chic cut of it, however, it’s constructed using the system skirt. I know many of you are able to really rock the system skirt but I just plain can’t stand it on myself — the ugly shape (even with a tweaked body-shape), the gap at the waist, the way it stretches the texture…. suffice it to say I’m not a fan. Having just said all that though, every once in a while I do pick one up and wear it quite happily, and this is such an exception. Maybe it’s the vivid texture that masks many of the imperfections? Still, I can’t help thinking that even though it is a fine dress in its current version, it would have been divine with a little hip-hugging prim skirt and glitch pants.

Gotta’ Love G.L.A.M.

Friday, February 1st, 2008

I was shopping in GLAM the other day when I realised that I own about 95% of their entire collection and that I use some piece from GLAM in many, many of my looks — there’s a reason for that.

They seem to quietly churn out high-quality clothes without much pomp and fanfare. However, what comes out of their design studio is of the highest standard with regards to textures, prims, design and construction. They understand colour and they provide their garments on every conceivable layer — thus making them a gold mine for a mixer & matcher like myself. To top it all off; their prices are extremely competitive, making it possible to buy every single piece you fall in love with (i.e. my 95%).

I’m wearing the Dark Denim Jumpsuit “straight out of the box” together with these oh-so-sexy white boots.

A word on my hair; it’s from another Japanese designer who understands blonde textures — Tukinowaguma Hair — very exciting with all these new options for us picky fair heads!

Via Manzoni

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

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.

Casual Rock

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

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.

Earthy Hot…

Monday, January 21st, 2008

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

Earthy Hot…Earthy Hot…

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.
