52 Weeks of Color: #3 Goldenrod

I’ll be honest… I struggled with this week’s color challenge a bit.  I started off with another outfit that ended up looking too much like mustard, so I scrapped it.  I was trying to stay away from lemon yellows and mustard yellows, so I experimented a bit and ended up with something a little gold-ish.  So yeah, I failed.  Big time.  Oh well.  I’m still determined to keep up with this weekly challenge, whether I fail or not.

Hair Fair Faves: Mid-Length & Long Hairstyles

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!

Review: []::Tuli::[] Audrey

As soon as Tuli Asturias offered her brand new Audrey skin as a gift to her VIP group, I knew I was in trouble.  You see… I  have this problem.  An obsession, if you will.  With any and all Tuli skin lines.  And I knew as soon as I tried Audrey, I would be hooked.  Because, well… the quality of Tuli’s work speaks for itself, and her skins never disappoint me.  So take a look at Audrey, will you?

Taffy Stuck, Tongue Tied

So, it’s pretty obvious that I’ve been a terribly lazy blogger lately.  I have been building more often lately, and unfortunately that hasn’t left much time for other things.  But I’m trying to get back into it, trying to catch up on some review copies, and at least attempting to balance my blogs with my builds.  I’d like to have time for both, so I’m going to work hard to make sure my blog doesn’t suffer too much because of my shop.  Hold me accountable, k?

Cabaret

Bronson and I decided to challenge each other to think a bit outside of our normal blogging box.  If you know anything about me, you know that I have a particular style, and I’m not too ballsy about venturing outside of it.  Nothing wrong with that… I just know what I like.  But it’s always fun to try something new, and Bronson challenged me to try to pull of a cabaret look a la Liza Minnelli.  I posed my own challenge to him, which you can see on his blog over at (ir)regular guy.  And, trust me, he kicked my ass in this challenge.  But it was still fun, and I love the look I created.  So we both win!

Stacie’s Strength

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.

Review: [ PXL ] July

I have been looking forward to the new July skin line at [ PXL ] Creations for quite a bit now.  Although my male alt, Ethan, wears [ PXL ] Jude, I was actually a [ PXL ] skin virgin.  But the July previews looked so awesome that I knew I needed to try this new skin, and I’m amazed at how much I love it.  This is Hart’s best skin yet, so you definitely need to check it out!
