I’ve heard that a lot of people hate taupe, but I actually love it.  I’m a huge fan of earth tones, and being able to color block with taupe this week has made me super happy.  Call me boring if you like, but I love a nice, clean look.  And I am really digging the uniformity of this look as well as the simple elegance of these pieces meshed together.  Also, I’m still fooling around with shadows, so don’t hate on my pictures while I figure out what the hell I’m supposed to be doing, k?

I’m back with my last installment of Hair Fair goodies.  I merged the mid-length and long hairstyles together for this post, because I didn’t find as many of each that I would wear on a regular basis.  It seems this year’s Hair Fair had a LOT of braids, ponies, piggies, and short hairstyles, but not so many mid-length and long hairstyles that I would wear.  So, here are my faves, and if you haven’t been to the Hair Fair yet, you better get on that because it closes in a few days!

I look very much like a tomboy today, but sometimes you just need to drop all the fancy stuff and wear something that looks and feels comfortable and easy.  I really love SL fashion in all its ways, shapes, and forms, but at the end of the day I think I really prefer casual items the most.  They’re just so representative of RL, and as silly as it sounds, they really do make me feel at ease.  I felt like I needed a change, so I made a shorter, teenier shape, bought a silly AO, and put together an outfit that is different from my normal look.  Needless to say, it was a lot of fun.

Hello.  My name is Stacie Pryor, and I’m addicted to SL home furnishings.  I have a bad habit of inspecting random knick knacks in different shops then TPing around the grid and snagging up pieces here and there until my pockets are empty and my inventory is full.  It’s a HORRIBLE habit, but at least it gives me an excuse to put together a cute picture with some of my new goodies.  Or is that just me rationalizing my own addiction?  Hmm… maybe I’ll think on that one later.

So I assembled this look with bits and pieces of things I absolutely love, and I really adored the finished product.  That is, until I realized that I look like something out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Now I know you’re not all from Alabama or from the U.S. for that matter, but most people know that I’m VERY anti-Crimson Tide.  A quick trip to Hibbett Sporting Goods for sneakers a few days ago REALLY reinforced that for me.  So yeah, this look  is covered in Paul “Bear” Bryant, but let’s just ignore that, okay?

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the new Alyson skin from -Belleza- to be released.  Tricky Boucher previously sent out a gorgeous gift to his group, which was a preview of Alyson, and I have been itching to get it since then.  I knew this would be the perfect skin for me.  I just knew it.  And it turns out that it’s also the perfect skin for redheads.  Hands-down. Bar none.  See for yourself — there’s plenty of yummy Alyson goodness after the cut…

As much as I enjoy dressing up in SL, nothing makes me happier than an easy-going casual look.  Especially when brand new jeans are involved.  I took another trip to the new Tableau build because I couldn’t get all of it to rez on my previous visit.  And it’s such an awesome build that I couldn’t resist snapping a few more pics in my uber-comfy look.

There’s no denying that I love cold weather in RL.  And honestly, cold weather looks in SL are probably my favorites because I love to layer.  Not only is it a great opportunity to showcase as many designers as possible when you’re layering, but cold weather looks are so damned cute and snuggly, too!  Who couldn’t love them?

It has been my experience that we, as fashion bloggers, are truly blessed with wonderful, caring, talented, and extremely generous designers.  Honestly, without the designers and the amazing things they do for the fashion community, I wouldn’t have much to talk about in this silly little blog of mine.  So, it should come as no surprise that I, or we, might become accustomed to the status quo.  Spoiled, if you will.  Yet, there are also times when we’re totally blown away, caught off our guards, truly surprised by something.  And this is one of those times for me.

Ashoka Eales, of Phoenix Rising, surprised me with this amazing new set of outfits named Stacie’s Strength, in my honor.  Simply put, I am surprised, shocked, and blown away.  And to be honest, I’m so emotional right now that I’m struggling to write this blog post.  So please bear with me, because this topic touches very close to home for me.  Those of you who know me on a close, personal basis probably know why Ashoka might see something in me that most people don’t.  And to those of you who don’t really have a clue what I’m talking about, I apologize for being so vague.  However, I’d never want to be accused of flaunting my own disadvantage, so I’ll just leave it at that and show you the amazingly versatile stylings of Stacie’s Strength instead.

I have been a bad blogger lately, but I’m working my way through my inventory in an effort to finally get everything in my “to be blogged” folder photographed and posted.  And in the process, I’m finding some wonderful items!  Take this gown for example: it is one of the most stunning formal gowns I’ve seen on the grid, and I can’t believe it was just hiding away in my inventory!  Yay for pleasant surprises!
