Retro Prints

Nothing can bring an outfit to life faster than a bold retro print. Take this cute little jacket and skirt outfit from Miffyhoi Rosca at H&M.  She sells it with a white v-neck crop top and it’s adorable. It has prim cuffs, collar and a bit of prim swing to the jacket as well. The [...]

Punch Drunk or Full Moon?

So Gidge tells me my dress look it’s made of Swiss Cheese. I thought it looked like it had been made with a paper hole-puncher. Either way, I love the eccentric alignment and layering of a myriad of textures into this wildly detailed skirt prim. It moves and flows beautifully and is a perfect dress [...]

When a Fashionista Gets Dressed…..

posted by Gidge Uriza
When a fashionista gets dressed
there are two possibilities.
She can slick back her hair with V05 and some give it some shakes for an unkempt style, appropriate for some dinner at The Hurricane Cafe.
Or
She can coif herself elegantly wearing a feminine style that speaks more of a night at Minnie’s .

Halston Reborn - As a Frenchwoman

posted by Gidge Uriza
I slipped into Elemiah designs after seeing a cute babydoll dress on Freestyle and I wanted to see more. It’s possible that I have an unnatural affinity for the modern, feminine lines drawn by Halston back in the day - I had a bachelor uncle who was a huge fan - but I [...]

Hot!  Well, that’s the song I heard in my head when I saw this new release, Franch Affair, from Digit Darkes in the color Dijon. Dijon! Not Mustard. A vibrant, bright summer heat wave of a [...]

Poetic License

I found this fun little poem by Brooke Freeman on PoemHunter. It’s not one you would find in Tiger’s Bookstore for Rare Books, but I like it anyway. This is just a taste, to read the entire poem, go here.
I Know Fashion
I know fashion
Models posing, critics complaining
Celebs shopping, paparazzi stalking
I know fashion.
One of the bonuses [...]

Mélange et Allumette

posted by Gidge Uriza
Mixing and matching your separates and accessories is a great way to breathe new life into items you’ve previously worn, or worn differently. 
Example - this Piper shirt from Digit Darkes I previously blogged in my hottie rocker outfit.

Grape Drape

There’s the scent of roses in the air - yellow, lemony roses carried by the breeze from the church down the street. It made me want to put on something floral and summery and I thought of this dress right away. From Bianca Foulon, the draping dress in grape is a floral confection with a [...]

Sketching at the Moulin Rouge

When I saw this dress, the Designer Sketch at Haute Style & Co, not only did I know it would end up in my inventory, I knew just where I wanted to photograph it. Such a whimsical dress needed to be shot in the heart of Parisian joie de vive, the Moulin Rouge. Inspired by [...]
