Baiastice - Old Favorites Never Die

I love the edgy look of Baiastice.  Always have.  I've blogged them before, but more as punk glam than formal dresses.  Can you tell me how...Baiastice managed to make a formal dress with a touch of their signature punk glam thrown in?  Imagine that.  Add a studded belt..and you get a rocker's dress.

Is there any better way to ring in the New Year?

Dress:  Baiastice - Qiobe dress-purple
Skin:  Glam Affair - India
Hair:  Elikatira
Bracelets:  Je Suis

You'll thank me.  Buy it.  Be fabulous.  Be glam.  Be edgy.  It's the perfect mix for New Year's Eve.

Simple Black..

On a recent trip to Miami, I found that picking out the New Yorkers traveling to Florida was pretty simple.  We were the ones in all black and they were the ones in all white.  Sounds crazy, right?  Well.  My closet is 95% comprised of the color black.  Sweaters, skirts, pants, dresses, suits.  You name it, I own several of it in black. 

I love this black outfit.  Quiet, simple and so chic. 

Sweater:  Maitreya Lux Sweater - Merino Raven
Pants:  *TuttiFrutti* Dark Flowers Low Jeans
Boots:  Indyra:  *I.O.* Coquette Noir Shoes: Chasseur Boots: Black Suede
Skin:  Glam Affair
Hair:  Elikatira

Everyone looks great in black - I think it's a fact.  Scientifically proven.

I Am A FashionNatic!

Sometimes, you just have to love the designer that puts it all together FOR you - including sunglasses!  That's exactly what FashionNatic does!  I love this mesh outfit - it's very SoHo - trendy without being tacky.  It took me a few minutes to figure myself out mesh-wise, but all in all it was pretty great.  I love the sweater poncho - it doesn't look bulky and weird like they sometimes can - and I'm all about the patterned leggings.

Outfit:  SugarBlack   Outfit FashionNatic
Skin:  Glam Affair - Amelie
Hair:  Fri.Day - Deena

Lazy Sundays: Eyelure

So, my ideal lazy Sunday consists of two things:

1.  A comfy outfit.
2.  Peace and quiet.

Needless to say, I never get ideal lazy Sundays.  :)

But if I did - I'd absolutely have every lazy Sunday wearing this LOVE mini-dress by Eyelure.  It looks so warm and soft and just downright snuggle-friendly.  I'm pretty sure you'd find me sleeping in it as well.

Dress:  Eyelure - Love Mini-Dress
Skin:  Redgrave
Hair:  Truth

Grab one for your post-Christmas lazy time.  You know you need it.  :)

Waiting for Santa: Little Chances

Who's never waited for Santa?  Dressed in your pajamas, so excited to know that special gifts will await you in the morning.  Come on.  We've all tried to wait up..sneak a peek. This Superman pajama set just makes the waiting up..a little more adult.  :)

I've been waiting for Christmas,
And it's almost here.
I've been waiting for Christmas,
Santa's getting near.
Can't you hear the sleigh bells ringing?
Reindeer up so high.
Can't you hear the children singing,
As they watch the sky?

Letters to Santa: Alanis

Not all holiday outfits need to be red and green.  Sometimes just a perfect red accessory can make the difference.  I love this outfit - so soft and feminine, but the boots make it a little edgy.

I love the detailing on the belt.  I'm sure you will too.

The Gift Of Shalom

In the nearly five years since I have known Blissie Boucher, I have learned a lot about Second Life fashion and style.  I read her blog and find new places to get items that I fall in love with.  This outfit however, isn't a result of her blog, but is a result of knowing quality when I see it that I learned from her.

Outfit - AC Argus-Eyed Dress - Star Of Shalom

Hair - Truth - Lykie in Cranberry

Skin - Adam N Eve - Laurel Pale Spice

Mesh Feets - *GA* Tiptoe

Relaxing at home one Chanukah night

Reading a good book waiting to head to a Chanukah party

Contemplating a new poem

It is always fun dressing up for Chanukah and this cute little dress took me from playing the blues at Savoy to spinning rock at my pub.  

I do hope to resume some posting here as I find new gems to share with all y'all.  

Till then, see you in world.

Rebel Hope: Classic Beauty

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  Classic stores in Second Life are amazing.  Those are the stores that have withstood the test of time.  One such store is Rebel Hope.  I've been shopping there for years now (how weird does THAT feel to say?).  I love the styles, the vibrant colors, and the customer service.  Customer service is a BIG part of why some stores last and some do not - trust me.

Dress:  Rebel Hope Designs - Grace Formal Gown Pomegranate
Skin:  Redgrave
Hair:  Elikatira 
Shoes:  Stiletto Moody

Perfect dress for filling my jar of hearts, no?

Go there.  I dare you to not fall in love with the gowns.

The Formal Season: MIAMAI

Two things happen in Second Life during the winter.  One, you require ice skates.  Two, you require outfits for the various holiday events.  Whether those outfits are really cute sweaters and boots or formal gowns, you're going to need them.

From elaborate to simple, gowns are one of my favorite things to shop for in SL.  Mostly because I love getting dressed up.  This beautiful gown from MIAMAI is a great example of a simple gown with great details.  The shoulder feathers are beautiful! 

Dress: Miamai - Liree Pink
Skin:  Glam Affair
Hair:  Truth

And even though I've used this Glam Affair skin before, I'm still so completely in love with it that I included a close up.  Teehee.

Bullying Stops HERE!

“Some people won't be happy until they've pushed you to the ground. 

What you have to do is have the courage to stand your ground and not give them the time of day. 

Hold on to your power and never give it away.”
― Donna Schoenrock 

Mon Cheri released this amazing tank for bullying awareness.  Just on principle, I think everyone should have one and wear it with pride.

Touring the World: India

Since I'm Indian, I thought I'd start putting together outfits reflective of my heritage.  Here's a really cute sari I found at Arya.  It reminds me a lot of the ones worn in the Bollywood movie, "Neal 'n Nikki" (cute movie).

Anyway!  I hope you enjoy.  There's more to come (salwars, cholis, etc.).  :)

As a human, I eat, I breathe, I sleep.....and I love boots.  I wish I could wear them in the summer - because boots are seriously the absolutely BEST type of footwear ever.

Touring the World: India

Okay, first stop?  If you're looking for AMAZING Indian fashion - you head over to Zaara.  Don't question it.  Just do it.

I've been a fan of Zaara forever and a day - believe me, it's fantastic.  The creator is even fantastic as well (I did a fashion showcase with her years ago - personal experience is the best).

Outfit:  Zaara : Menaka Sari - Blue
Bracelet:  Zaara
Skin:  LAQ

I seriously feel like a movie star in this outfit.  If I could bust out with a virtual Bollywood dance, I would.
