#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.

#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!

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!

FYI #11: Epoque's 'schließlich', Spring Collection 2011

For those who may not have heard, EPOQUE is close to releasing their new spring collection. I know, I know, terribly awful to be teasing you but, below is an extra little preview.

I love the sculpts in this collection, especially on many of the gowns. The one shown below is my absolute favourite. They all meld seamlessly to the body and display a serious knack for texturing.

Because I attended an in-world wedding today, which is always a delightful reason to frock up, I decided to slip into these beautiful garments. Sadly I could only wear one, so here's the opportunity to share them both (I went with the tux).

Be sure to stay tuned for the release date, coming soon!

Dressed Down #29: Acute Acumen

To show that I well and truly am back in the saddle, (and also to catch up on some new releases and events), here is a marketed master post peppered with some fiscal acquisitions and endeavouring to drive up our virtual economy.

As you may or may not be aware, CULTURE SHOCK is the latest fashion/music event to hit the grid, offering up an array of new and exclusive content from no doubt, some of your favourite content creators. I was particularly tickled by MR POET's foray into accessories (Win). You still have a couple of weeks to brave the lag and pick up some treasures.

Also, MON TISSU has released their 'Ruffles and Lace' collection. Of course, it's amazing, particularly their new shorts. For those who aren't always satisfied with prim shorts attachments, you'll be happy to know that acting on customer feedback, the shorts come with non-prims layers as well as various prim attachment sizes. Market research for the win!

Enjoy the swag!

Dressed Down #28: 'Masterchiller'

In a bit of an homage to a particular web monkey who seems to loathe my love of Masterchef, I offer up this poor punnery of an ensemble. And in case you missed the memo, this humble blog is now nestled comfortably at www.slidioglossia.com - thank you Liquid.

Onto business, I've been bumming around the grid in this outfit for awhile [sic], unable to take it off/be buggered to change. If this sounds like you, then I hope you enjoy. It's comfy, casual and still looks like you put in a bit of effort.

Highlights? Cute tousled hair from LELUTKA and complimenting sculpted accessories from MON TISSU, MIEL and KARI. Finally, my favourite ALBERO GATCHA item - FIR&MNA's Zodiac necklaces.

NB: I have every other zodiac sign before I got my Gemini, so hit me up in-world if you'd like to grab yours.

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!

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 #20: Bold Bitch

Just checkin' in with the backlog of stuff I have. I felt like being glamorous in-world, to spite the overworked, exhausted hag I've become in RL.

WILLOW is a relatively new to me store, be sure there will be more posts to come in which their creations will be featured, including another La PREMIERE sneak peak.

I'm actually genuinely surprised I ended up using this turban from LAGYO for the ONE ELEVEN event. I never, EVER thought I would, but there you have it. C'est la vie.

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.

Dressed Down #9: Chilly Bunny

Well I'm back behind the desk, having celebrated my friends' graduation in RL yesterday! Woot! So because I'm still recovering, I'm having to rely on an old ensemble to get me through the day.

Featured in this post are my two favourite One Eleven items. You've already become acquainted with my Surf Co. boots, but I was also lucky enough to have purchased Anya Ohmai's cute sweater. Together they make a snug winter ensemble for a day on the pond, perhaps?

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!
