#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.

Here is an array of random stuff that I love, covering a scope of old stuff, different events, gifts and new releases. I hope you love it too.

Dressed Down #18: Totes Vintage

New LULA releases are becoming a serious day-maker for me. Featured below are just a small sampling of the new releases from MON TISSU and LAMB.

I felt like being a little girly after all the butt kicking yesterday. I'm quite picky with jewellery in SL (still mourning the loss of MUSE), particularly pearl, so I'm including some of my favourite pearl pieces from WHIPPET & BUCK, DECO and ZAARA.

To top it off, a DISGUSTINGLY gorgeous top from FASHIONABLY DEAD, a fabulous bag from ADDICT and a cute ribbon from TOKI DOKI. C'est beau, non?

Dressed Down #16: Reality Bytes

Hi5! for the cheesy pun? No? Ok. Moving on.

This is a rather simple ensemble but I was excited by the fact that it is pretty much identical to an outfit in my RL wardrobe. I was ecstatic to come by these shorts from the talented Kianna Noel of ADDICT. The design is modelled on a previous jeans release she did for LELUTKA. Never fear, dear readers, she will be releasing both items very soon.

This is about as heavy handed as I go with accessories, in order to dress up the look a bit more. The necklace by WHIPPET & BUCK is one of a number of cute re-releases from last year's Jewellery Fair.

By the by, exciting new post type coming up soon! Keep a weary eye out!

Dressed Down #13: Equestrian Debutante

I've been itching for the new Lelutka releases for a while now and finally managed to snag some swag. I've paired down the military glam look for something a bit more traditional for the races.

Point of interest, MIEL's 'Lia' boots which are colour-changeable for a very reasonably price in my opinion. It's essentially a fatpack for cheap!

Finally, perhaps my favourite article in the ensemble... EPOQUE's fascinator. Flawless.

FYI #7: Doppleganger Grand Opening!

For those who adore some chic basics to mix and match. I'd been waiting all week for the opening, ducked into the party, grabbed all that would rezz and immediately dashed home. And now it's off to the Illusory opening (what a busy weekend!)

Now get! And shop till you drop.

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 #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!

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!
