Thursday, February 15th, 2007I love leather in real life but it’s rare that I see leather in SL that looks good to me. That’s why when I saw this lovely leather outfit from Stellar Designs I snapped it up pronto. The texture looks so rich and creamy, just the way leather should. The highlighting is a bit extreme [...]
Charmant, Madame Dumont!
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007It’s painful for a fashionista to admit when she’s missed out on something worthy. I’ve missed a few worthy things in my day — hair by Toast Bard, to give one painful example. And there are some enduring SL fashion styles that I just can’t wrap my head around — neko being a [...]
Faerydae fantasy
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007When I saw the ads for Faerydae a week ago, I knew I’d enjoy putting it on my avatar, but what I didn’t realize was quite how beautiful this gown looks. Usually when you compare an ad texture to actual garment in world on your own avatar there are differences — maybe in the [...]
Checking in at Analise
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007Talyn Barrett of Analise Fashions has been super productive over the past several weeks. She was kind enough to send me a package of some of her most recent creations — including three of my favorites: the delightfully gothic Belladonna wedding gown (in black and red, shown far left), the tempting bellydance inspired Meela (on [...]
Look for love in all the RIGHT places and win!
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007Elika Tiramisu sent out a group notice last night that she was holding a Valentine’s Day themed scavenger hunt on ETD Isle, and just a few minutes ago, the hunt has expanded across the four sims of Dazzle, Canimal, Celestial City, and ETD Isle. Your object: find the heart shaped boxes shown right in order. [...]
Feeling Prim and Proper
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007A couple days ago I wrote about the Caledon fashion design contest. One of the sponsors of the contest is Shenlei Flasheart of Prim and Proper. In real-life, Shenlei is a designer of fashion accessories — she has a degree in millinery design which a) impressed the heck out of me and b) made [...]
Fashion mashup du jour
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007Last lørdag (whenever that was!), Antonia Marat released her Johnny shirts — inspired by a Johnny Cash music video. Mmm. The Man in Black (r.i.p.) which I decided to pair up with Nephilaine Protagonist’s Sleek pants in Silver. As usual Six Kennedy has been really running through a ton of new prim hair releases, [...]
Reaction Surfwear for Gurls!
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007Radical Twang of Reaction Surfwear started making clothes for girls in the new year. He was kind enough to send me a selection of his latest bikini sets — that come complete with boardies too. The bikini top and bottom are on the underwear layers — but I asked Radical to please not make [...]
Tango Top
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007Another cute top to wear with your jeans, or anything else for that matter, is the Tango top from DoC Eldritch of DE Designs. This one comes in a variety of styles and cuts, but what I like most about Tango is the lacy outer garment and optional flexi skirt that allows it [...]
Newbie starter kit at MAIA
Monday, February 12th, 2007Trinitee Trilam of recently renamed Refuge (and ETD model!) posted an article about the “Denoobification” Process. In the post, she suggests
[W]ouldn’t it be great to sell a Noob kit? Like for men and women.. different styles but these be exclusive products just for them at a price that they could afford… or i should [...]
About review copies and Second Style
Monday, February 12th, 2007At StyleDisorder, Canimal Zephyr posted an entry about the abuse of review copies by Second Life fashion journalists — be they bloggers or magazine staffers or whomever.
I understand that her post was not specifically directed at Second Style Fashionista or any specific staff member here, but I think we have room for improvement — [...]
Caledon Fashion Design Contest
Monday, February 12th, 2007Yuriko Muramachi of Silver Rose and Shenlei Flasheart of Prim and Proper are inviting submissions to their Caledon themed fashion design contest.
Caledon, if you didn’t already know, is a group of simulators in an “alternate” Victoriana (including steampunk, if you’re so inclined) theme — so these designs should be period in style and [...]
