A vintage feeling...

Who does not love a good floral pring in spring?

They are probably more traditional than 'Spring Cleaning', was that supposed to happen already because I have not started. But during the Bunny Hop hunt, I came across this dress(#209) in the feeds and had to have it and it was so much more than I could have expected. A floral print yes, but it is somewhat washed out and that adds a vintage feel to it. So pleased! But anywho this was my look, very layerd and oh so vintage...haha!

Oh what a feeling....

This past week I was rather relaxed in RL and had a little extra time to focus on the all more inporant alternate life I am leading and it struck me....creativity! Which was a pleasant welcome because for the past few days I had felt a little blah; even about getting dressed, shopping didn't help much either. Several days in a row I found myself grabbing jeans and a t-shirt. That is all over now though.

Back to the creativity, I was totally sparked today and oddly enough was itching to...build? I'll take it! It all started with the Fedora - We Love Her that I picked up in the freebie section at Tesla. I had no idea they were there so when I found it I was so excited out of the box I wasn't feeling it, but I knew with a few clicks I could have my dream hat; if only I could find a decent one in RL. Voila! I haven't taken it off except to don the new Mini Hats from Aoharu at an impromptu dance party--they come in some really exciting animal prints and bright colors as well. So yesterday my friend decides she is going to make shoes and I let her have her way, but then practically demand that she make some for me; I have been on the search for an extra high heel for a while and go to SM wasn't enough--turns out I needed a mere six inches, not too much eh?

From the shoes I built my outfit; at the moment I cannot get enough skirts, they are just so fantastic and while I am a major fan of the high-waist I have even opt foedr a few regular waist skirts. Looking around for a skirt I stumbled upon an old favorite, Paper Couture's Sunset Feast--an instant yes! Keeping with my happy creative mood I topped this outfit off with the P-K Belted Blazer, it gives me a sort of 80s feel and I love it for that-- soo tempted to get a few more colors.

All this excitement has gotten me into writing a rather long post...

Enjoy!

Fashion is my Religion...

Have you ever been to Paper Couture, well this post is not about it...

But just a few shops down you'll find a store thats relatively new to me, and I really wonder how I didn't know about it before. I'm so happy now though, my SLife is nearer to nirvana! My first time inside I was just so excited, lots of skirts! I have been on the search for more and more prim skirts, I'm not sure I can ever have enough. Anyhow there are lots of skirts and dresses and they generally come in some exciting feminie prints, like this skirt from the Liv set a lovely floral print. WAIT. There is more, but I cannot decide if I should tell you all about it right now...

After visiting I thought; maybe I missed the explosion of, wait for it...Church of Luxe! With the holidays though I did not get a chance to look through the feeds too much, and after the new year began a lot of people were blogging Lo Jacobs' cat and mouse outfit.

Back to the clothes. I was so excited when Lo sent me this in the review pack, it was one of the items I wanted but had not gotten, but now I'm convinced I must get the rest of the floral skirts. Creating an outfit around this skirt was a little more difficult than expected though, partly because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do; I am happy with the final outcome though. For fear that I have typed too much already, I'll leave you with the credits and notice of more to come....

Enjoy
