So I really had lots to do today, but as usual I started procrastinating and did the SL equivalent of random doodling by trying out different stuff from my Inventory.  Soon I was zipping around the grid picking up new stuff that would go with the old stuff… and the next thing I knew, I had a new look!

So I came in-world today with the idea of putting together a look for the Oscars tomorrow… needless to say I suffered a major FAIL.  I tried, I really did, but the truth is I S.U.C.K. at formal styling! After shifting through one beautiful gown after the other, my inner all-defying, five-year old came out to play and insisted I do the opposite of formal. And here we are, rock girl.

Enough of kick-ass and functional looks — I’m back in girly-girly mode.  After all the brown of my last couple of looks I needed a large dose of sweetness and this pink, fluffy little skirt was it!  I toned down the sugar with the rest of the styling, opting for comfy denim and funky trainers. *skips away happily*

I’ve always loved the kick-ass outfits worn by those cool and fierce girls you see around the grid (and in many a blog).  I never felt that I could really pull it off though; in my attempts I always felt a little fake, or that the clothes were wearing me, and that I should really be tripping around in a pair of strappy stilettos and girly skirts.  But this time, I’m truly and honestly loving this look.  So much so that I’ve been wearing it for days, and I still don’t want to change.  Now I just need to find some good ass to kick….

It’s Saturday and it’s dance night! I’ve got a funky and colourful look for the dance floor.  It’s pinks and yellows framed with black.

A slightly geeky cruise look for today.  I had to search high and low for the denim shirt until a friend told me about this one here from Gabriel (which is a new-to-me store) and it was perfect. I layered the shirt with a white undershirt (because I love my layers) and then paired it with  a shorts-and-long-socks combo.  I kept my accessories in brown, with the all important geek shades in a lovely tortoise shell texture.

Here is a version of a big city, busy bitch.  The combination of the rock-hot leather jacket with the classic high-waisted pencil skirt speaks of a professional woman with attitude.  I added the over-the-knee boots in matching gray and little driver gloves and bag in a navy that compliment the fuchsia of the skirt to finish the look.

I’ve got a casual Friday look in Autumn colours today; in warm browns and burgundies.  I’ve got different shades of brown in the scarf, skirt and boots, and a good dollop of brilliant burgundy in the sweater.  To frame it all a little, I scattered some whites in there with the tights and the shirt — the fishnet tights also add some edge to an otherwise preppy feel. The bag is an ancient Armidi piece, with colours that fit just perfectly.

I got this very elegant feathered skirt from COCO, which at first I tried styling in a classical way. But I just wasn’t feeling it, so I did a 180 and decided to dirty it down.  Hence this feathers and plaid combo!

So I went shopping in Digital Darkes the other day and picked up this fabulous dress and these feathery gloves, which I though when beautifully together.  Both work perfectly for a glam girl look, which I topped off with these super-sexy, thigh-high boots from J’s.  I finished things with a messy and relaxed hair-do to counter the glam just a bit.
