I have been feeling very lazy today. That does not mean…

Last time I checked, the statistics stated that at least 1 in 4 people will be affected by Breast Cancer at some point or another in their life;  statistics like that should be quite scary for everyone, not just women.  I appologize for the spam today as this will mark my second of 3 posts that I have ready to go, but after hearing about this I felt that it was something I should share.

In an attempt to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Iris Seale of Punch Drunk has released a pink limited edition version of her latest (and best if you ask me) work - Glam Rock -  in both of her stores on the grid.  Her goal is to sell 100 copies of the dress and to donate 100% of the proceeds to a foundation whose work has benefitted breast cancer research for years.  The price of the dress is 500 Linden (which is the equivilant of about 2$) and it  really is absolutely gorgeous - the texture work is fabulous - and let’s just face it, what girl doesnt love to glitter and shine?

And for those of you who are not wishing to purchase this item to donate - you can find out more information on the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and any other information on how else you can help by going here: www.komen.org

In the spirit of all that is the MichaMi Style blog, I have included a snapshot of part of the dress mixed and matched with some of my other favorite things to create a completely different, but equally fabulous look:

When it comes to counting … or anything mathematical for that matter, I am one person you do not want to ask.  My reason for saying this is that Friday will be my last day blogging on MichaMi - Milla has promised to return on Saturday and I have promised to leave the blog in one piece on Friday.  So… if my calculations are correct, that leaves me with 3 blog posts to prepare and post between now and then.  But, since I really can’t seem to add correctly - I have actually photographed 5 outfits, instead of 3 - so today and tomorrow I will be posting once in the morning and once in the evening for a double dose of Sofia - I hope no-one minds.

Anyone who owns a television probably has heard of this new series on the CW called Gossip Girls?  While I don’t really watch TV all that often, I can see the impact of the show resonating with it’s fans in the same way that Sex and the City did.  This evening’s outfit is inspired by all the Gossip Girls floating around the grid, just another day in the upper east side’s swanky private Catholic Schools - except this look comes with a twist:

In an attempt to follow the hottest trend in Second Life - changing face; I’ve actually started out this look with a brand spanking new skin from Launa Fauna.  To me, this skin oozes with edge and sex appeal and it is one of the things that inspired me to put this outfit together in the first place.  The first piece of clothing that started out this look today was the plaid skirt - I felt that the length was conservative enough to make it seem as though it actually belonged to a real Catholic School Uniform, making it the appropriate choice.  From there I chose to use a super low cut cami and paired it with a sexy lacy bra peeking out at the top which I haven’t actually decided whether or not to call it sexy or trashy - I’ll let you be the judges, either way suits the look to me.  To give this look a touch of innocence I have accessorized with a pair of argyle socks from Puma Jie’s adorable Corduroy store and one of 2007’s trendiest items, rosary beads.  Finished off with one of the must-have items of 2007, the Crisis Pumps (scripted to change to over 40 colors = AMAZING) and haphazardly styled hair with some crazy coloring, this look is the perfect balance of sexy, trashy, and innocent…. And for those who don’t know - sometimes trashy can be a good thing.

To those who observe, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  I hope that you are all able to be home with your families and enjoying a wonderfully fattening meal - and that maybe a few of you received some awesome gifts too! <3

Taking the day off from blogging and blabbing, just stopping in to wish you all the happiest and healthiest Christmas possible!  I can’t believe it’s almost 2008! :X

See you all tomorrow!

I practically make it my mission in Second Life (and in real life) to always have my finger firmly pressed upon the pulse.  I love staying with what’s hot and what’s new when Im shopping around.  Today’s outfit mixes a bit of the new and old to create a trendy and chic look that I wouldnt mind strutting my stuff down the streets of Manhattan in any day:

The inspiration for this outfit came almost entirely from this new adorable knit jacket from Cubic effect that’s been floating around the Fashion Planet feed in quite a few posts.  Since the advent of sculpties in Second Life, designers grid-wide have really been pushing the envelope to create new and original things for us to wear, and a quick glance through any given Japanese sim can really reveal quite a few hidden treasures.  To create a whole look, I added a simple pair of blue jeans tucked into some of my favorite chocolate colored boots from Last Call: Covet with a plain white tank.  I’ve accessorized with a knit cap from Tesla, a french feather print purse, and of course my new favorite chain necklace (a sculptie rose); an early christmas gift from my good friend Mariya Nesiote <3.  And since Wednesday was officially the first day of Winter, I have given Fall a proper send-off by wearing all of my earthy tones and fall colors.

Hi everyone!  I have a really horrible habit of babbling, so I’m going to try to keep this short and sweet.  I am really excited and truly flattered that Milla has asked me to fill in for her in the blog while she is away on holiday and I hope I can manage to bring you all your daily dose of fashion without getting too boring!  I dont imagine that I’ll be able to quite fill Milla’s shoes, but I’ll try to at least bring you all some of my own flavor in the meantime.

 Annnyway, the idea of being published in the Fashion Planet feed has totally given me a case of SLebrity Syndome, and therefor I have decided that today’s outfit would be inspired by that; a perfect introduction - something simple and classy that’s appropriate for any of those SLebrity events you may be attending:

I’ve started out with this absolutely gorgeous dress by Miriel Enfield that actually was a freebie (even better!) before it was available in her store; the Echo dress.  For me, color is always a huge deciding factor when I’m going to purchase something, and very typical to Miriel’s style the Echo dress has this beautiful fade where the colors blend ever so delicately to combine two colors which compliment each other very well.  As is obvious with a dress like this, very little accessory is actually needed, but I wanted to add something to spice it up without making it too over-the-top, so I’ve accessorized with pieces from Caliah Lyon’s recent Kailena set; which I actually feel give it a bit more of a casual feel.  Finished off with a pair of metallic gold pumps to match and a unique up-do to show off at least a little skin at the shoulders, the whole look was complete with little to no fuss at all; just how I like it!
