#45 Do the twist

I’ve been quite obsessed with Mad Men as of late, having caught up with all seasons in time to see the season 5 finale this past Sunday. What an amazing time for fashion and decor. Thankfully, a plethora of designers in SL have met my needs for a 50’s-60’s inspired photoshoot. With perfect timing came Collabor88’s theme this month, “Shindig,” thought up by Toast Bard. A very funky and cool theme featuring a vibrant and mod contempo color scheme. With all these resources at my fingertips, it wasn’t hard to have fun with it. With me in the photo collection below is my sweet tiny baby internet friend of 7+ whole ding dang years, Corksoaker Gloom.


*Please note all poses in these photos were created by me to suit my vision for the blog post.

Dressed Down #26: Quelqu'un m'a dit

Feeling rather cute today so I thought I'd share. Aren't I giving?
With everyone on Plurk currently working through the music challenge, it made me switch on one of my favourite songs (below for your listening pleasure) and inspired this modest ensemble.

I adore this blouse from FISHY STRAWBERRY, loaded with sculpty goodness. Also JANE never fails with their cute collection of dresses. And when you combine the two? No really, you're welcome.

FYI #6: The Dressing Room

Just a heads up... The Dressing Room is having a Christmas Special at the moment... all designers have put out a new item AND rereleased some of their best sellers so check it out:

HERE's your limo.

E.g. If you're after the dress from my Portobello Road ensemble, I'd hit up that SLURL.

Dressed Down #11: Portobello Road

Showing alot of love for MILK MOTION lately, huh? I can't help it, Marie Lauridsen makes some incredible content. Plus I'm broke and having to rely on whatever's in my inventory, despite dying to splurge on new LELUTKA releases. Anyway, onward.

This is a summer inspired look, a vision of where I want to be and what I want to be doing - shopping in London on Portobello road. I was last there in August and my greatest purchase was nothing to do with fashion (although I did get some great stuff), rather I bought an 18th century edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

And so, relying on little treasures, I hope you too are inspired to create a sensory ensemble out of your own inventory.

Hope you love it.

Dressed Down #10: Purple Laze

I love shopping. I do. So with my RL christmas shopping absolutely blitzed today in under 3 hours, I decided to take that energy and catch up on some new releases this week.

I love the phenomena of limited release groups, i.e. FIFTY LINDEN FRIDAYS, PROJECT THEMEORY and THE STUMBLEBUM BRIGRADE. Today's ensemble features the MILK MOTION releases for the latter. If you like it well made, cheap and fairly exclusive, I'd be checking out these groups.

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!
