Callie Cline released a cotton-candy sweet confection called the little glitter dress. Perfect name. It’s little, especially in length and it glitters with all the soft pastels of spring. I adore the dress and thought it was perfect for the softly romantic new Chloe skin from Exile.

The shoes are from Kookie – a fun pair of wedges that I have found irresistible lately.

I don’t know about you, but when my dress is that short, I have to wear tights. I chose one of my favorite pairs and now I have to apologize because they are no longer for sale. These are the G.L.A.M. Metallic Lycra Tintable Tights. They come in three shades of silvery gray that allow me to tint them to the color and shade I want. There are alternatives at many stores and you can search for tintable tights, but for me. I love these. Love, ...

Sometimes an outfit is just dreamy with soft, gentle colors – all flowing and romantic. That’s the case with this one, though the dreaminess begins with the stunning hair from BOON. The new XFE275 hair from BOON is an amazing confection that I like think came out of dreams – nice, misty dreams or roses and romance.

The Mirage dress from SwanSong combines a corseted bodice with a full multi-layered skirt that makes me think of ballerinas and dancing on clouds. The back of the dress laces up as you can see in the first photo.

I added the Nishar leggings from Zaara (50% off sale at Zaara this week) as I loved the way the cherry blossoms up the leg connected the shoes to the dress so beautifully. The shoes are new wedges from Kookie and I am loving them.

The jewelry is from Illusions – an old set I have had for about two years, but still lovely as ever.  The makeup is Brooke from 5th & Oxford – a very romantic and gentle skin with the softness I wanted for such a dreamy outfit.

Now, I don’t usually edit the photos much in photoshop beyond cropping and adjusting levels to get the light right – but this was such a dream outfit I could not resist using the one really fancy filter I have called Dreamy Photo – it’s a free filter that you can download from AutoFX – and that link goes right to the filter so you can see what it does and download it if you like. The filter’s present makes the photos too blurry so I dialed it back from 70% to 20% on the blending to make it less blurry – but still dreamy enough.

The Petal Dress from Modern Gypsy is such a delicate color and billows so softly around the body that wearing it, I felt like I was wearing a cloud. It’s a cloud with a more solid satin inner cloud and a diaphounous, soft and sheer outer cloud, but it’s a cloud.

I wore the lovely DeLa Stella sandals with the huge floppy bow. The only proper attire while wearing clouds is shoes with bows.

Of course, if you wear a cloud you need delicately made jewelry like this set from La Forgia which is unironically named Delicate.

The hair is from 0 Style and the skin from Tuli – the marvelous Tuli skin with makeup suited for a cloud.

Yaaaaawn Stretch. Hiyas everyone. You all have Callie Cline to blame for my transformation into the most spoiled kitty on The Grid. I just went over to buy a couple of dresses, but there it was, the tail by Psychotic Neko for Callie Cline and the diamond Nekoture ears…….and I was hooked. Come on, how could I not love something THIS girly?

I thought I’d torture you and make you follow the glammiest, prissiest kitty ever around for a day. There are even two SUPER SPECIAL GUEST STARS in today’s post, but you gotta WAIT for them!

To start our kitty day, we need a bath. NO, we are not afraid of water. As long as the water comes from a fancy roman bath…….quit staring, you bum lookers.

After that I’m ready to start my day. I’m a fairly lazy kitty, but I like a bit of outdoorsy fun,so I head off to play some tennis.

Yes I always play wearing all my jewels. Don’t you? After I got all sweaty and gross playing tennis I headed off to the day spa to relax and get beautiful. And after a massage and a style I felt much better.

I felt so good, as a matter of fact, that I decided I should go have a nap on the beach at Artilleri.

I’m a cat, I sleep a lot, what do you want from me? After I napped for a while I decided that it wasn’t a proper day out on the grid without some dancing, so I popped into a random place and danced with strangers.

While dancing with random peoples who weren’t as pretty or as prissy as me, I realized that I actually knew someone who owned a club, and I really ought to patronize his place, especially since he just built this NEW club. But when I got there, I was too tired to dance, so I laid out by his pool instead.

When I’d had my fill of sunbathing and lounging, I decided I was hungry so I rang up my friend Clio and we headed to the sushi bar.

We stuffed ourselves on the most giant sashimi you have ever seen. I highly recommend this place. And the sushi vendor was extremely well skilled…..for a hair designer named Kavar . He must be moonlighting………..

Random Pic of me and Clio.No,my hand didn't vanish into my thigh.You are imagining that.

After dining on delicious sushi I headed over to our friend QXI’s gallery THE HOUSE OF QXI to enjoy some of her erotic art. Pervy, eh?

After SUCH a busy day, it was great to get back to our place, mainland or no, and just chill out with Silo.

And now come to think of it, I believe you’ll have to excuse us if you don’t mind. Please enjoy the style notes while we have some private time, okay?

Sweet Lovely Cute is the name of a pose store that Gogo introduced me to the other day. The poses are adorable, making it a very well-named store. However, I think the name suits this dress from Modern Gypsy equally well. I love floral prints for summer – they make me happy.

What could be more fun with a floral print than a pair of shoes with a big flower? These Bubbles Bizarre shoes from Baiastice are a fun choice.

The necklace is a group gift from Happy Mood from when they first opened. I added the wind chime earrings from Bliensen & MaiTai.

A soft spring color makeup from Baiastice and a casual updo from Clawtooth complete the outfit.

I feel dotty, oh so dotty
I feel dotty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight!

Well, it’s not a perfect fit for the I Feel Pretty lyrics, but this Princess Dotty dress from Modern Gypsy is definitely dotty, witty and bright, so why not? It’s certainly a fun way of looking at it.

Sticking with the fun theme, there’s the fun and witty and bright Studded Wedge Sandals from J’s. Particularly fun was my efforts to adjust the skin tone as I have become so used to shoes with the entire foot adjustable, I was so proud of my matching job until I realized that that’s actually my foot and it’s only the toes that are adjusted. Luckily, they matched as well.

Another fun element to this outfit are the Pretty Hands from Page 3. A prim nail set with color control hud ...

House of Dashwood has produced a couple amazing dresses inspired by Alice in Wonderland – and my favorite was the Dark Hearts dress that is perfect for any Queen of Hearts with an edge.

I indulged the Queen’s wild side with the new Bare Fay fetish pumps from Stiletto Moody – with a wild zebra skin with a black and white texture that winks while echoing the black and white stripes of the sheer overskirt fabric.

Assorted pieces of onyx and silver jewelry from Zaara and a lovely updo from Clawtooth complement the wickedly regal look.

The smokey eyes and pale lips from this Keirak makeup option from Dutch Touch completes the look dramatically.

This little cocktail dress is not Baiastice Neat, but a lovely little Baiastice Cocktail mixing one part Baiastice with one part Malt. The skirt is Baiastice’s lovely taffetta stripe skirt and the top is from Malt’s Florentia dress – and add-on frill that some perfectly complements the skirt that it looks like they were made to be together – a perfect martini of an outfit, stirred not shaken. I prefer gin and you stir gin martinis and shake vodka martinis, unless you’re just copying James Bond without knowing why he wants his shaken. Bond’s a vodka martini man, the poser!

The Electric Blue Saffron Pumps from Lelutka are a great option – tying it all back to the blue at the top after the purple and black stripes at the bottom of the skirt.

The Florentia frill is the perfect blue, but even more it has purple highlights that make ...

It is my opinion that the Cowboy Boots of Evil go with more things than I ever break them out for.  But when Baiastice celebrated it’s 3rd Anniversary and Sissy was gracious enough to offer awesome outfits at a discount to celebrate, I knew I needed boots with this one.

And what better boots than the most evil boots I own?

I had been looking for something to wear with my new hair from Fashionably Dead.  I like their hair. I can’t believe I never shopped there before, but thank PLURK I found another store that I have to like now.

So a belated Happy Birthday to Sissy and Baiastice – I already sent one up over on Freestyle but I’m all still stuck in the new baby fog and get more behind here on IOF than I should. Luckily Cajsa lets me live .

Lelutka has several new releases that are quite exciting and fully in the Lelutka tradition of à la page fashion. My favorite of the new releases is the Blazin dress made of layers of ruffled folds. The fabric texture is amazingly detailed and so real you want to touch it. I chose the peach version of the dress because it’s one of my favorite colors – a color that just always looks good. However, there are many colors, some soft like the peach and other electric colors like yellow and purple. I can imagine purchasing this dress in several colors and even mixing and matching, perhaps wearing the top tier in another color. [Update: You can see how well that can be done by taking a peek at Nina Fessbinder's combination of Blazin in yellow and purple.]

I kept the Viniani sandals from Armidi on that I wore in yesterday’s ...

A good friend of mine recently told me about the low lights of their day at work, which included someone describing the qualities of their shite over the phone.

This only amused me endlessly, because for 10 years I worked in a phone room in various capacities……and because we dealt with women’s fashion we often got some nutters calling in.

My favorite pervert caller, who called for years until caller ID technology was invented (OH YES IT WAS THAT LONG AGO)  because we started calling him BACK, was this dude who called himself Gary.

Gary wanted to talk about foundation garments.  And other tight fitting clothes. He wanted to know if they would pinch or be snug. He wanted to know WHERE they would pinch of be snug. He also wanted to know how strong and how limber you were.

We used to tell him that we could ...

The textures in the different clothing in this outfit are actually much better than rhinestones. There’s such depth and interest whether it’s the marvelously made top from Maitreya’s Bubble Skirt dress, the intricately patterned skirt from MiaMai or the rhinestone-cowboy-kicking boots from Adam N Eve. I would not trade such depth and interesting textures for all the rhinestones in the world. Add the amazing jewelry from EarthStones and this is a texture-gasmic outfit.

I thought it deserved a great setting for at least one shot – and fortuitously, while I was getting dressed, Lizzie Lexington sent me a landmark to Minute Papillon, a lovely spot for photos. Best of all, you can rez poseballs for photos.  And doesn’t it look better for the glittering lights to be in the trees?

The skirt made me think of cowboys and rodeos with the marvelous embroidery and python insets. The belt is very ...

The dry season has begun. After 24 straight days of rain, this week has been an explosion of warm and sunny days that lift the spirits. On the way to work, an embankment along the road was a riot of roses – fifty or more bushes blazing with blooms in red and white. Our rainy season seems to be ending a month early, but I won’t complain. It’s been a long, cold and wet winter. Just in time for the sun, this lovely dress from EMO-tions fell to earth. With loads of lace and an empire waist, it’s styled for romance and what could be more romantic than a walk on the beach?

No rain means no reason not to wear open-toed strappy shoes like the Mikaela shoes from Orange Creations.

Big, chunky Ganked jewelry make a great counter-point and are so very à la page. Equally up-to-the-minute is the ...

Sometimes an outfit just is so infused with vintage romantic motifs that I can’t resist using the sepia Windlight settings and hitting the Sepia filter in PhotoShop just for an indulgence in sentiment. That’s what happened when I wore this lingerie from Casa del Shai that came complete with a feather fan. Seriously, it was the fan!

I wore the lingerie with the gorgeous new dress from Baiastice named Diva in Satin. It has such a 20′s Art Deco feeling with the gorgeous print that the Tamara lingerie from Casa del Shai just seemed in keeping with the look. The bodice of the bra shows just a bit at the cleavage and could, to some people, seem a bit inappropriate, but I like the added definition and diminsion.

The details on this dress are extraordinary. See how beautifully the patterns match at the seams and how flatteringly the print outlines ...

Everyone needs a little black dress and this is a great one—the French Dress from Wasted Youth. I played around and put together several outfits with it…sometimes as a dress but also as a top. I am showing you two of my favorite combinations here. I pulled a real “vintage” piece (the used Flower Cardigan in red from Kurotsubaki) from my closet to wear over it in the first look.  The belt is a fairly new one from LG Concept …it comes in several colors and I love the sculpted flower buckle. The little purse is from Baiastice. The great thing (besides that it is so cute) is it comes in a couple of sizes and both shoulder and hand hold positions. Yay for that.The second look is the dress worn more as a top over leggings. These leggings are from R.icielli and how cute is that newspaper print!!?? ...

Oh, if only in the far distant past of two years ago when we started this blog we had come up with something so obvious as titling our posts by the number, blogging would be so much easier. This is #1689 though I  should call it the Refutation of Silly Rules. Someone somewhere once decreed that redheads should not wear pink. Someone somewhere was a silly person. If I listened to that silly person I could never wear this lovely little dress from Skin Flicks – so I won’t listen.

I am even going to wear pink shoes – the lovely Mikaela shoes from SLink. Just to break another silly rule, I changed the stone color to orange.

And pink jewelry from Ganked. Now you can see why I added some orange to the shoes. I am not wearing pink hair, though. This gorgeous style is from EMO-tions and I ...

Oddly I’m back with more bloggage today.  It certainly wasn’t planned, but yet again, it just happened.  Today I was inspired by quite a few items, and the look just sort of happened on its own.  It’s funny how that happens on occasion.  I guess our designers really do make it so easy for us to put together a rockin’ outfit with minimal effort.

The bright, cheerful Ruffiela dress from Skin Flicks is a happy setting for the lovely Dark Mouse Roses Are Blue parure.

My mother loved music. When she went blind temporarily from a pharmacy dispensing error and still did not know if her vision would ever return, she would say “I would rather lose my vision than my hearing. I can still listen to music and that’s enough beauty for any lifetime.” She had a way of putting troubles into perspective and facing difficulties with stoic optimism.

The wonderful summer chic of the Gidge shoes from A-Bomb are perfect – especially with their color-change options. This teal is the perfect match to the Roses Are Blue necklace.

One of Mom’s great disappointments was that she did not sing well. That did not, however, prevent her from singing. One of my favorite Mom stories is when one of the women at church ...

I haven’t really been blogging much lately because I’ve been seriously lacking inspiration and motivation.  I’m tired of forcing a look because I feel the “need” to blog, so I’m taking a step back and blogging when inspiration hits.  No more schedules, no more obligations.  Just me blogging the looks that make me feel good, when I feel so inclined.  I threw this look together a few days ago and couldn’t resist posting it.  It is a change from my normal casual look, and I really love it.  I hope you will, too.

You can take all the tea in China, put in a big brown bag for me. Sail around the all the seven oceans, drop it straight into the deep blue sea. He’s as sweet as Tupelo Honey. He’s as angel of the first degree. He’s as sweet as Tupelo honey. Just like honey from the bee. That just happens to be the song playing on my Itunes as I post this and it also happens to be one of my favorite songs. Although it’s a Van Morrison song, I am listening to my favorite cover of it by Cassandra Wilson and it’s just a meltingly beautiful song. It’s such a romantic song.  Whether it suits this sexy little dress, that’s for you to decide. I like it so well, I think it suits everything.

With all the necessaries covered by opaque sequinned fabric, the dress has lovely sheer flowing ...

I recently found a shop I hadn’t seen before and fell in love with the light and airy creations. It is u.f.o. and there are all kinds of dresses, tops and sweaters (like the one I am wearing here) that are made up of light layers of chiffon-like pixels. I love that this sweater has a closure button in the shape of a rose (and in fact it even has more rose-shaped prim buttons which I chose not to wear since I wanted to wear the Paper Couture necklace that already was loaded up with roses). I’m wearing the sweater over one of Maitreya’s new releases, the Bubble dress. It has a great sculpted shape to the skirt and I love that you can tint the belt which helped me match the shoes. As though I didn’t already have enough roses draped around me the ring is a rose too. ...

I love the scattering of pailletes on this dress. Usually paillets are scattered on super sexy ball gowns, eding the organza overskirts that float above silk or satin draping. That makes this very special because it’s not a ball gown and it has a severe, conservative silhouette. Now, that first impression of conservatism is belied by the the ultra-modern shoulder pads and the exaggerated bow in the back – but that just makes the dress even more interesting. Another way that the initial conservatism is overwritten by design is in the fitted structured princess seam bodice that conforms so closely to the body. This is one of those lady-like dresses that will keep drawing closer, more admiring looks the longer it is studied.

And it will be studied because it is so very flattering. From the figure-hugging shaping to the soft and touchable fabric, everything about this dress is designed ...

Cajsa and I are completely fruity with glee over the release of the Cajsa Boots and Gidge Shoes from A-Bomb.  They have been out for sale for a wee bit, but with me being off line to have the baby, it took us some time to get together to shoot them in all their glory.

The CAJSA BOOTS are a ribbon style ankle boot that are color change as well, so you have a whole wardrobe of them for one price.  Plus they feature a very spikey stiletto – only the most talented at walking on heels should even endeavor to tread on them!

The Gidge High Heel Clogs are also color change, and if you know the sad story of how my mother REFUSED TO LET ME WEAR CLOGS GROWING UP – then you know exactly how much I love these clogs. They also come ...

A chique, classy and sexy gown for this month!

Clio Cardiff, Bronco Graves and Hart Larsson have collaborated to create a fabulous avatar complete with skin, clothing and jewelry that is expected to be released today. The striking Efe skin with the Masai tattoo will be a group gift at PXL Creations and the other items will also be on sale there as well as the Efe skin without makeup. I don’t belong to lots of store groups in-world, but PXL Creations is one of them. Not only do members get a 10% discount at the store, but a few times a year there are lovely surprises like this gift skin.

The Maasai Outfit from Clio’s Pret-a-Porter is full of all sorts of win – from the fabulous linen fabric, the many options for the top to the bold coloring – a hallmark of her designs.

Reasonable Desires just released the Victorian Day Gown!

It comes with a hat and a cameo. There’s also a parasol (complete with a Hold Up Parasol pose) in the folder. I’m not using it however. I prefer my own Parasol AO and parasol from Ana_Mations.

The Victorian Day Gown comes in three versions (black, red and striped) and costs 299 L$.

I always have the best time styling Blueblood releases. I probably take longer on them than almost anyone, because I am always trying to Barbie-doll them to be ironic or step out of my pink Mattel box and take them in a different direction than my comfort zone requires.

Just as I can rave about how Sascha Frangilli gives me oodles of options in my ballgowns (just see previous posts from me AND Cajsa- raving is aplenty) Ghanima Uriza (my favorite Uriza cousin)rocks my world as far as styling options for her releases. I’d be hard pressed to really shoot them all.

Gidge’s husband Silo had his Rez Day party on Saturday. Since I was DJ’ing, I went over early to put out a couple dance balls and noticed that Gidge had put out a psychedelic dance floor that reminded me of a new dress I got at Baiastice. Suddenly, I knew I just had to wear that dress that matched the dance floor – and so, here it is – the Yoyce Dress from Baiastice.

It’s a fun shape with its oversized sheer overblouse floating over the fitted opaque top and with the sculptural tiers of the skirt. I am wearing the Maitreya Allure sandals with tights with it – for a more monochromatic leg as the dress has enough flash on its own.

The necklace is from Balderdash – the Jazz Funeral set in Merlot. Again, I was going for a more restrained accessory because the dress is so exuberant. ...

Ok so just like Cajsa said below……..the options that Sascha Frangilli gives us in each item we buy from her are staggering, release after release.  As a blogger, I spend more time figuring out which pieces to wear, how to wear them together – or whether to just shoot them ALL than actually shooting.

I admit it, though – it’s kinda fun.

The flexibility with the variety of styles of skirts offered, two pair of gloves, a bolero jacket option etc means that although Cajsa and I each blogged this today, neither of us are sporting it exactly the same way which I really like. 

This is a gorgeous spring outfit in either black or white – and as I look at the hat I’m reminded that the Kentucky Derby is coming up……..girls got your Derby Hats ready yet?
