52 Weeks of Color: #14 Black

I honestly did not know what to expect from black this week.  On one hand, there is no shortage of black in my inventory.  But on the other hand, the numerous options can be overwhelming.  Plus, I can’t deny that I have a love/hate relationship with black in SL.  Some creators do a true deep, dark black, but some do a faded, grayish black, so it can be hard to mix and match.  In the end, I fiddled around with my options until I finally gave up and decided to just keep it simple and classy.

52 Weeks of Color: #9 Silver

Alright… I was REALLY nervous about silver this week because I couldn’t really think of anything silver in my entire inventory (outside of jewelry, obviously).  But then I remembered that I had tucked away this awesome dress for just the right occasion, and I dare say that this is the perfect time to use it.  I summoned a few other goodies from my inventory, and voila!  Silver is DONE.  Oh, and I never would have guessed I had this much “silver” in my home furnishings folder, so the added decor was an excellent surprise!

52 Weeks of Color: #4 Plum

We’re four weeks into the color challenge, and I’m having more and more fun each week.  I thought plum might be a bit difficult, mainly because there are so many different shades of purple to sift through in my inventory, but I really don’t think it was that bad.  I decided to delve into my inventory rather than searching the grid like crazy this week, so I stuck to my platform and searched my clothing folders for hours.  Since I like to mix and match, my plum outfit isn’t really plum through and through, but it does give an overall plum effect.  And I kinda like it that way.

We Just Go in Circles

Just kinda felt like blogging, so here’s a simple, feminine look for you.  I’ve been on a skirt kick lately, and I absolutely love this one (which is actually part of a dress.)  Plus, I needed to show off some of my hair fair finds in regular LOTD style, so here’s the first!  Enjoy!

Where Is My Mind?

I thought I’d blog for a change, so I threw together a simple casual look with some old and new items from my inventory.  I guess I’m not much of a fashionista, especially lately, but I seem to prefer practical, comfy looks in my SL.  I’m a simple girl, and that’s okay with me.

I’m in the Middle of Your Picture

I’m a simple girl in both RL and SL, but I really love nice things.  And statement jewelry is fun, but nothing beats a classic strand of pearls.  That is, unless it’s a strand of pearls that is not only beautiful, but also helpful in creating unique photos.  And as far as that goes, these pearls are a major win.

Just Last the Year

Just yesterday I said I wouldn’t be blogging too often anymore, yet here I am again.  What can I say?  When inspiration hits, it hits.  And simply put, Zaara always inspires me.

Society, Crazy and Deep


I’ve been walking around in various forms of this outfit for a few days now, so I figured I might as well blog it.  Any outfit that can convince me to wear it for more than a day has to have a bit of merit, right?  I mean, it isn’t total laziness that’s keeping me from changing clothes, I swear.

Formal Feature: (Musashi-Do)

Ever since Shiryu Musashi came back to the grid and started releasing new designs under his label, Musashi-Do, I have been captivated by his talent.  His textures are truly exceptional, and his eye for style is amazing.  And when I saw that he would be releasing this gorgeous Brocade Princess gown, I knew it would find its way to this blog sooner or later.  I even blew the dust off my male alt, gave him a bit of a makeover, and dressed him up in a fantastic tux from Musashi-Do, too!  Click through for more…

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.
