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 #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 #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 #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 #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!
