MIRANDA

A quick dark look inspired by a little necklace I pulled from Nylon Outfitters' entry in the Tag Gacha event. I had great fun doing the road-rally style gacha fest. If you miss the old Creators Stamp Rally that they used to have over at the Mont Saint Michel sim, this should be right up your alley.



This "Miranda" cameo is from a set of stunning hand-drawn portraits that remind me of Edward Gorey and the Addams Family. Perfect for this time of year. Miranda obviously loves her kitty so I posed with another one of mine. The Sugar Garden has these kittens ... aw!!

RHAPSODY

A little evening look? I picked up a couple of cute accessories over at the Indyra display at the music-themed Rhapsody event. I could wear them with an edgier outfit, but I decided to match them with a little black dress instead. I'm not sure if this one by House of Fox is still available since they rebranded to the new "Rowne" label, but I hope so. It's a classic, beautifully made piece.

BRANCHINGS

Ladies, I'm not even sure what to call these stunning jewels. They're not exactly earrings, are they? When I finally noticed that they hang from my temples, I felt stunned in a way that I usually don't feel until I'm in an art museum. It's so disconcerting. And hard core. I think the aggressive arty lashes go well, did I do it right?



Secretly I feel overdressed, but the outfit is hot and cool at the same time, and I'm ready for an Art Gallery, both to see and to be seen.

FOODIE HEAVEN

Do you love pixel food like I do? Yes? Well pop on by the Food Fair and treat yourself to some sugar! A mix of food-inspired clothing, food décor and a few poses. Gacha machines! Lots of good fun.



How about a mouse-ears headband made of donuts?



The fortune cookie purse is just adorable, and the fortunes printed on the strap change on touch to ten different sweet platitudes.



A messily eaten cupcake. And gacha sweets on rings.



Fruity knee tattoos and Cuppie Flats! These are a few of my favorite things! :D

DRAGON LADY

Today I had fun photographing a few beautiful new pieces from Finesmith and NV Corsetry! Finesmith has been putting out new jewels for us and I am wearing an avant-garde spiked hairpiece and lovely onyx beads. All resizable, and you can turn the full bright or glow on and off as you need for the occasion. I paired them with NV's Hatsuboku Corset in this subtle black and white print. You might want to click on the picture to get a closer look.



But it is too hard to pick just one of these corsets, there are so many sumptuous fabrics and prints from which to choose.



Here are the Pink Velvet, Kanji, and Gothic Blood Velvet Corsets. These velvets come in a couple more colors, but you get the idea.



Night Waves, Nippon Street Style, and Black Leather Corsets ... I love the Japanese inspired fabrics so hard!



Jaguar, Gold Baroque, and Tiger Corsets ...



and the Space Odyssey, Black and Silver Baroque, and White Wedding Corsets. Delicious.

Headpiece: Finesmith "Maniko"
Necklaces/Epaulettes: Finesmith "Shame"
Corsets: NV Corsetry "Underbust Mesh Corsets"
Bodysuit: House of Fox "Long Sleeve Unitard"
Hair: Exile "Crazy in Love"
Skin: Glam Affair "Amalie" (old Platinum Hunt)
Eyes: Ikon "Ardent"
Lashes: LeLutka "Photoshoot II" and Finesmith "Lashes 02"
Nails: Bamboo Nails "Love Laugh Dream Noir"

A MONOCHROME SPRING

The outfit is rather minimalist but, honestly, I was more interested in the hat. And the makeup. They were so beautiful that I wanted to simplify everything else.



Glam Affair has these sweet little hats at Collabor88 right now and I was feeling rebellious so I chose not to blog the ones in all the cute pastelly colors. I decided to leave all the color on the skin instead. I layered over a flowered eye makeup which explains what is attracting all these butterflies!

THE WILDLIFE

I love integrating "mainstream fashion" pieces into a roleplay outfit. The Sea Hole put out this metallic bustier a long time ago. I knew I'd want it someday. Put it with these black pieces from House of Fox, and it fairly begged to be blogged ...



Copper horns and wild faun legs ...
