#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.

FYI #13: Lelutka Summer Release '11

Yup it's that illustrious time again - New LELUTKA releases have hit the grid. I spent all my pennies that were reserved for decorating a new home and grabbed what I could before getting booted as the crowds poured in.

The summer collection has everything you've come to expect from MINNU PALEN and THORA CHARRON - well sculpted pieces, beautifully textured and well fitted with the use of a variety of alpha layers. All in all, rather flawless.

Grab it while it's hot!

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.

Dressed Down #25: Let There Be Leg

I have two words for you. PEQE. Exclusive.

Not something you come across everyday, exclusivity is quite the novelty in-world. And with various weekly events such as FIFTY LINDEN FRIDAYS, SUPER BARGAIN SATURDAYS, LAZY SUNDAYS (wow, as if we didn't love our weekends already!), etc, exclusivity can sometimes be granted through limited release.

Note it in your diaries. 50 OF A KIND is the latest fortnightly event to hit the SL calendar whereby, as the title would suggest, designers will release a limited edition creation of which only 50 will be available. With a relatively low key beginning, most of the offerings (both fashion and decor) were snatched up within a couple of hours. I managed to grab this little number from PEQE.

Be sure to man your battle stations kids, 'cause this one is gonna be a bloodbath.

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 #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 #14: Little Girl Lost

So much newness my budget can't handle it. First up is this sculpty phenomenon from TRAM. I paired it with a cute dress from TINY BIRD that I've been dying to blog. Not to mention ELIKATIRA's adorable new hair release. And of course, my favourite boots of the moment from MIEL.

Sadly I'm too much of a DUTCH TOUCH skin devotee to change but ILLUSORY has released a new line of skins. I picked up the antlers. I'm sorry. Too much change scares me. But be sure to check it all out for yourself.

NB: A note on wearability, due to the nature of sculpts and movement, these garments will sometimes cut through each other. If this doesn't bother you all that much, happy shopping!

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 #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).

xoxo

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 #6: Vogue It

I'm going to be honest... I've no idea what that title means.

Moving on. Here's a mixture of some old and some new additions to my inventory. A look for a windswept afternoon in town. Quick note, the jacket is an old favourite from HPMD that I've modded alittle to be shorter.

FYI #3: One 11 Event! Nov 26 - Jan 11

Blegh... bad Vitt!

Ok, I know, I know, I'm awful. BUT this one had to make it to the blog. The One Eleven event, an exercise in exclusivity, is on now for a limited time only. Be one of 111 to grab the limited edition designs from some of the biggest names on the grid.

This is just one of the many things I picked up. But don't worry, the rest will be featured soon... gotta milk my money's worth, right?
