LAVENDER FIELDS

I'm sure I've said it before. I have a crush on Purple and Green, separately but even more together. My favorite color combination Evar. So please excuse me while I indulge myself.



Those of you who haven't visited the new Free*Style shop, you really must!! The prices range between L$0 - 50 and these strings of pearls from Lassitude and Ennui are amazingly one of the free gifts. One of my other favorite jewelry stores, Eclectica, has some lovely earrings there too, but I switched them out at the last second for these beauties from the mainstore. Go Free*Style now, what are you waiting for?

TRAVELLER

I'm ready to step out for some weekend fun. Just a short hop on plane, train or automobile. My overnight bag is packed, and my clothes are stylish but comfortable enough. Daring jacket, capris. and sexy red-hot shoes.



Purple Moon's delish new leather jacket is bound to be a big crowd pleaser. I had a hard time deciding which color combination to show you because they are all so tempting. Trust me, I drooled all over the brown and teal version of the jacket. :D



I never had heard of TuTy's hair before, but this shop is offering several truly vintage styles. I am impressed with how much I like this hair, even though it bends several of my usual rules. the hair is very shiny, but I think it reproduces beautifully the pomaded and controlled styles of the early twentieth century. This wig is intended to reproduce a 1940's style but I think it would also work well with black skins, because if you look closely it shows a bit of frizz as if it has been treated with a relaxer. Maybe I'll blog this look next.

The Vintage Fair isn't only serving up fashions from your great-grandparents' era. I thought I'd like to show you something more recent. Many of the designers are focusing on the 1970s and 1980s.

This outfit is a bit hybrid. The Ziggy cosmetics by BlackLiquid are a obvious reference to David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" rockstar persona in the 1970s. You can wear the eye and face makeup without the glossy lipstick if you would prefer.



The rest is pretty clearly 80s hair band rocker :P  ... So I trotted out my guitar. Kumaki isn't just making eyewear anymore. And I rooted around in my closet for the biggest, wildest wig I have.



I bought these fab Pixel Mode boots a while ago, but I had a tough time finding something shiny enough to wear them with. Izzie's glam metallic leggings are rockstars!

Shirt and Belt: Lush Limited "Benatar Stripes" (Vintage Fair)
Leggings: Izzie's "Metallic Leggings" (Vintage Fair)
Boots: Pixel Mode "Kasi Pearl"
Guitar: Kumaki "K_gs MTG"
