#44 When A Man Loves A Woman

So Mad Men's the craze of late, (SEX YAY!) makes for some fun blogging opportunities. I'm going to have to admit, some alcohol was harmed in the making of this blog post. But it was fun! I love Mad Men. I really do.

Whilst a lot of the themes ring true for me personally, I'd have to say the character I identify with most is probably Sally Draper. Although my parents remain happily married and very devoted to one another, I empathise heavily with a sort of distance from my father (he being a massive workaholic) and at the same time, sharing a close bond with him. I understood from a young age that whenever we had to go to one of Dad's business dinners or parties that I had to look nice, be charming and be well behaved. Every single outing, just before we left the car or entered the venue, my father would squeeze my hand and murmur, "Best behaviour". I remember being proud and looking to my dad for his approval when someone mentioned how smart I was, or how cute I looked or how funny my naivety was. Whilst this all probably sounds fucking BIZARRE (and like I have some serious daddy issues - I promise I don't), it's some of the fondest memories I have of him.

So with Mad Men as a basis and within the scope of that period, onto bloggage - some amazing releases have come out of the latest COLLABOR88, including this incredible build from TROMPE LOEIL. Naturally we've allowed that to influence our homage to the swingin' sixties. Love the decor, love the fashion, love the alcohol and love those bunnies - Enjoy!

Décor #3: My Own Home! Pt. 3

I mean, of course I'd have some semblance of an in-home cinema. The many movie nights that don't happen in my SLife, happen here (usually it's just me watching films old enough to be out of copyright and therefore free to air - case in point, my favourite Shirley Temple movie, the Little Princess).

It could almost also be my KARI space. Thankfully, it's reopened and once again pumping out some awesome furnishings, as well as accessories and clothing. Latest release is this incredible Komrad HUD, which comes with multiple settings for frames, colors and FXs. Below are just a tiny sampling of what's possible for in-world photography.



Anyway, on with the show!

FYI #10: Dresses and Dresses and Dresses, Oh My!

Ugh. Do not ever go on holidays. It's been completely daunting since my return to SL, catching up on new releases, sorting inventory and trying to put together some catch up ensembles without just chucking everything out at once.

So on to some of my favourite new and not so new releases! Dresses abound in SL at the moment and I'm so delighted. NSD, MON TISSU, LAVIERE, TRES BLAH, and of course the TO ONE LOUNGE event that has since ended. The spectrum of colour and print has been gorgeous, and I'm so hoping it's not about to end anytime soon. Below are a small sampling of what's been current.

Hope you're all loving it as much as I am!

Dressed Down #22: The 'It' Gurl

Despite being far from it myself, it's always fun to strut round like you're the shit. And these pants are the pair to do it in!

I love the print and silhouette on these new release harem trousers from EMERY. Now, they - are the shit. Also, my romance with ADDICT separates is still going strong (thanks for asking, we'll be celebrating an anniversary shortly), so I paired it with a breezy tank for effortless sex appeal.

Top it all off with a pair of oversized shades from EPOQUE, some glam accessories, and hot new hair from VIVE9 and leave 'em in your dust.

Décor #2: My Own Home! Pt. 2

Round 2. The dining area. This took a while, mostly 'cause I still aspire to have neat 'clutter' and I can't stand empty corners. I like my home to feel lived in and not quite so sterile, but still pretty.

The main feature of course is the Klee Dining Room set from Colleen Desmoulins' THE LOFT. This is one of the releases she had over Christmas and I lost a few of the holiday props, but still love the setting so much that when the making merry was over, it had to stay.

My second favourite item is the Nevsky Prospekt tea service from POST. A new to me store with loads of eclectic, beautifully textured items for your builds. It rates highly amongst my must see furnishing LMs.

So, who's up for a dinner party?

La PREMIERE - COCOROSIE Sneak Peak

Hola! Wow. It's been a while. I'm so redundantly sorry for failing and falling behind, etc but I've kind of been a lot busy in RL and alittle busy in-world.

Just to keep you all, my nearest and dearest, in the loop - here's a tiny sneak peak into a little video I'm making in-world. It's going to be a recreation of a music video by ethereal songstresses, Cocorosie. At the moment, I'm in 'pre-production', acquiring sets, props and of course, costumes!

So here are two looks for Sierra from the video. Hope you like it, and I'll be back with a proper post in a little while.

Dressed Down #19: Daily Elle

My small homage to THE supermodel in the world (I'm not biased at all) - Elle Macpherson as spotted by the Daily Mail a couple of days ago. I loved that this is what she wears to pick up her kids.

Point of interest, hot new boots from GOS. These are rather innovative for their scripted brilliance. There are three heel choices (Stiletto, Chunky & Wedge) and you can purchase different colour coats for a lesser price than the cost of the boots. Brilliance.

Now start walking!

Dressed Down #12: Going a la Gala

Soooo... guess what I got for Christmas? SYNDICATION, BABY! And so, to celebrate that and the coming New Year, I say we get totally FROCKED. UP!

I love doing cocktail. It's formal without going hard out, bad prom date. Today I'm going to give you two looks.

The first features a gorgeous little number from DOPPLEGANGER for the infamous One Eleven event (which is still on by the by - although I've no idea what is still available). The necklace is of course from PAPER COUTURE (can you tell I play favourites?) And finally a dash of class with some elbow length gloves from 5th & OXFORD.

The second ensemble is all about TEE*FY. I love this frock, especially the sequin detail in the skirt and the subtle shoulder detail. Plus how adorable is the TRAM fur stole? Christmas freebie for group members only (Go'on git it, gurl).

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 #8: Wintour Nouveau

Revisiting an old favourite, in homage to the famed Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. ARMIDI pretty much makes up my staple of go-to basics, I am distressed that there will be no more new releases and that the designer's new venture is taking so long to come out, if at all. Anywho, this is my reinvented, Wintour 2.0.

I'd heard of Pixel Mode a while back (I even own a prefab) but I'd never really dabbled in their clothes and accessories, until my roomie Dai, introduced me to the glorious Baby T's *squeee!*
I fear readers, that this is not the last you'll hear of them, even if they are a dated article.

Hope you love it!

Dressed Down #7: Flared Blues

This is alittle bit 60's retro but I love the silhouette. Believe it or not, I started this ensemble with some of the latest releases from MAITREYA (Natalie hair and Moxie shoes). Not sure how I wound up with this as an end result, but there you go.

I love the textures of both IZUYAMI's cardigan and the woollen feel of R.ICIELLI's pants. I rarely get to indulge in winterwear this time of year, so SL is quite a nice escape from Sydney's heat and play fashion model. Expect more winter ensembles from me, this season!

Finally, another cute highlight are the nail colours from TRES BLAH. I'm not a huge fan of prim nails, especially fitting them and most nail glove layers simply annoy me as they seem to not cover the nail bed featured on most skins, but Juliette seems to have nailed this (get it? heh, heh...yeah-.-). The fatpack comes in cute pastels and some solid basics.

Catch your groove, ladies!

FYI #4: Grand Sim Opening Of LULA

I can barely contain myself. Some of the grid's best and brightest have banded together to not only open a new sim, but bring forth a new brand. Lula is now home to Lamb, Turnip's, Tres Blah and lovechild of Juliette Westerburg and Emma Gilmour, their shabby chic new brand, Mon Tissu.

Not only is the sim gorgeous (for all you SL shutterbugs), but the entire collection is disgusting...ly good. Come payday, I'm afraid I may have to fatpack it all. But for now, here's a quick glance.
