Dressed Down #5: Harvest Leaves

Autumn is probably my favourite season (which sucks 'cause in Australia right now, we're heading toward summer). Thus I can indulge in the new releases from LELUTKA today. They've released a cute collection of cardigans, handbags and shirts and I have used the cardigan in olive as the starting point for this look.

Also, a word to the wise, if you haven't jumped on the Fifty Linden Fridays group, then you are missing out. As the name would imply, every friday a group of notable designers put out a new and exclusive item for $50L from 12:01AM till 11:59PM. Featured is the FLF item from SURF CO.

Hope you love it!

Dressed Down #4: Moulin Rouge Massacre

Sorry it took so long to get this one up. Not alright. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you... cross my pierced heart.

Anyway, this was a costume to a 'Moulin Rouge with a Halloween twist', birthday party event... wow, that was a lot of words. So I put together this burlesque inspired outfit. I love the sugar skull make-up, inspired by the Spanish holiday of Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Despite the morbid overtones, perfectly suited to Halloween, this is not meant to be a spooky holiday but rather a day of remembrance for the loss of loved ones.

So, I present my fallen 'working girl'. Who will remember her?

Dressed Down #3: Rocking Paper Couture

I. Adore. Paper Couture.

...Seriously.

I salivate over every new collection. They're always innovative, gorgeously textured and make me part quite happily with a hefty amount of lindens. And don't worry, if you've missed their previous collections. They are all available for purchase here and here, at the Marketplace.

And yet, I rarely ever wear a complete PC ensemble... apart from their evening-wear (which is to die for, needless to say). I always end up taking bits and pieces to mix in with my wardrobe. This is just one example, I hope to blog another tomorrow. As the title suggests, this is Paper Couture meets Bohemian rockstar... however contradictory that may sound.

Accessories are not my strongest suit, however my favourite piece in this ensemble, is the fabric necklace that I tend to think of more as a scarf. It comes with a beautifully jewelled dragonfly for all the primmy princesses out there who love that sort of detail. Also, the box bangle from Stiletto Moody is available only to group members, so if you truly feel you can't go on without it, best join the flock!

Work it!

Dressed Down #2: French Coquette

One last blog for the evening...

This is one of my favourite outfits. I'm constantly wearing it whenever I'm feeling particularly girly... which is alot of the time, admittedly. Not only that, but the ensemble features some of my favourite designers, most notably, Whippet & Buck who create beautifully textured pieces that really tickle my... well, that's not for here.

Also newsworthy, is the fact that Elikapeka Tiramisu, former owner of hair store ETD, has rebranded and just opened her new store ELIKATIRA. You will find this hair as well as seven new releases in store now. I accessorised with a pin from MIEL, that I reattached in the hair and with some adjustment, found it sits quite well.

Finally, these adorable INGENUE flats are amongst many new items available from ALBERO's Gatcha event. Get them here while you still can.

Hope you love it!

Dressed Down #1: Nautical Chic

My very first look... and it's very casual. Way to pull out all the stops, huh? This also happens to be my first hand at photography in SL and in photoshop... such a noob. -.-

Anyway, I've been wearing alot of ARMIDI lately, in mourning I suppose. They've always been a staple in my modest collection and I find myself going back to them alot. Hopefully this blog will push me not to be so redundant!

So this is my ode to summer styling. You'll find that my taste is quite classic I suppose, and in this ensemble, I like the nautical stripe, belted and complimented by the high waist cut. Plus Kookie's Vo pumps are to die for and would make any lady's legs go on for days.

Enjoy!

FYI #1: A Taste of Things To Come

The word is out. Former fashion giant ARMIDI, is dead, paving the way for the emergence of their new brand VERSAEI, under the flagship enterprise of VASCHWITZUGENPLATZ... yup.

And you can check it all out for yourself... the tantalising teaser is here.

Be sure to collect all your Fashion Week goodies bags, notably for the store credit cards inside. And if you're particularly eager, there are several more littered about the abandoned runway, as well as a handful of cute eyewear.

That is all for now.

New Beginnings

Well, hi there. Welcome.

My name is Vittoria Hancroft and I've recently returned to Second Life refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to kick it again. My forte in SL is shopping. And I dabble in machinima.

I often get complimented and queried about my outfits, so I thought it'd be a fun hobby to start up this little blog. I am by no means a prominent figure on the SL fashion scene, I have no connections whatsoever. This is just for fun and frankly, there are a lot more significant fashion blogs out there.

Self-deprication aside, I hope you enjoy some of the ensembles. Thanks for stopping by - and I hope to see you in-world!

xoxo
