Detour
Advocate for a Cure
It’s easy to say you support racing for a cure, or promoting breast cancer awareness generally. What about everyday advocating for breast health?
Recently I was having Sunday lunch with a friend and her fourteen-year-old daughter at a wings place, and of course the football games were on TV. A few of the teams were wearing hot pink jerseys, and we talked about how wonderful it was that those big brawny macho football players were wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness. Then, things got interesting. › Continue reading
I wear pink.
This outfit is a bit of shameless product promotion — I’m wearing Vanitas Vesture’s special edition Breast Cancer Awareness top. All the proceeds go to Making Strides against Breast Cancer, an organization dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to help find a cure. You can find out more here. Pink is not a color I wear often, but I make an exception to help draw attention to this worthy cause. › Continue reading
Insomniatic Pop Star
So I was up late the other night — late enough that MTV was actually playing music videos. After that early-morning insomnia-induced TV hypnosis, I pulled together this look.
Ok, so I kinda failed at looking like a badass — the skin combined with my shape still retains a certain sweetness. Maybe my av is just getting into the music business and isn’t all hardened and cynical and jaded yet? Whatever. Also, I also find it interesting that that while the look is sexy, very little skin is actually showing.
Anyway, about the look. › Continue reading
IDK
idk is a new store, a collaboration between veteran designers Esme Michigan of Uncle Wiggly and Chav Paderborn of Steamstress. They describe the general aesthetic of their clothing as “kind of scene style like ish.” Now, neither me nor my av is particularly “scene,” but many of the offerings are versatile, and suit a variety of looks.
I love love love the Drape Tops. They’re a bit of a cross between a graphic tee and a dressier blouse. The drapery around the neckline is very flattering, and the wrinkles on the midsection and shoulders lend a comfy feeling to the shirt. The graphics are simple, elegant, and not overdone.
In the top pic, I’m wearing the idk Bubble Skirt. The charcoal and black stripes are deliciously moody, while the shape of the skirt is playful and fun. The combination of those qualities make the skirt delightfully quirky and wearable.
Also worn is Tiny Bird hair. I’ve been really digging on all the hairstyles Tiny Bird has been releasing, and the name coordinates nicely with the graphics on the shirts. There are sleeker, more polished styles at Tiny Bird, but my favorites are the hairstyles that are very RL-wearable: a bit messy, with wavy bits flying out, but totally chic.
Other things I’m wearing: my two favorite tattoos, from Tramp Stamp and Aitui. Skin from Imagen, with great freckles and makeups that coordinate with the outfits. Miriel eyes — get them now; the store is closing soon. Jewelry from VG Republic (currently closed) and Dark Mouse. Dark Mouse has the best everyday costume jewelry, and I wear their stuff all the time. Stockings from Sheer — love ‘em. One of my own skirts, the Dovely Linen Skirt from Vanitas Vesture. Shoes from Detour and GL Designs. The ruching on the Detour London Flats adds just the right amount of detail, and the GL Designs wedges are color-change; gotta love color-change. Finally, poses from one of the masters, Reel Expression.

LOTD March 25th
So, finals are over, and I’m back from vacation, and I’m soooo behind on blogging! I’ll kick things off with a quick look of the day I sort of fell into while sorting new inventory.
First, a big thank you to all the designers who gave such lovely, generous gifts during bloggers week! I know I’m a bit late on this, but RL scheduling kept me away from the computer last week.
At any rate, I’m quite fond of this windblown hairstyle from HOH. It feels very natural — you can expect more windswept styles from me coming soon. The aviator glasses are from House of Curios, and combined with the hair, have a very sexy-no-nonsense feel. Skin is from Exodi (formerly Genesis). I wanted a simple makeup that still portrays strength, and I think the lips on the Quaintly makeup do nicely. And, I really like the strong, straight nose on the skin.
The top is part of the very sexy Urban Agenda set from Indyra Originals. (The set also includes gloves, belt, skirt, and pant options, not seen here.) The blouse is sexy as hell, without showing too much skin, and the scrunched sleeves with the ties are a great detail. I paired it with the Cuff Jeans from Hilarious, which I adore. They have a wonderful hand-drawn quality to them, and the pockets are adorable.
The Urban Agenda set includes gloves, as I said, but I’m fond of my +plus biker gloves. They make me feel tough, like I can take on the world. In pointy shiny stilettos, no less. Which, incidentally, are the Glamour Metallic Pumps from Detour — the color-change pair comes in black, red, silver, gold, and white, and they match everything.
Okay, so I think about covers it. Now that I have a bit of free time, I’ll finally be able to catch up on that backlog of items in my “To Blog” folder, and flood you with blogginess in the near future!
