Gorgeous Glossy Glam

I felt like some serious classy glossy glam today and was very happy to find this white pant suit from Casa del Shai.

I added lots of gold accessories — shoes, clutch and jewelry — to pick up on the gorgeous and luxurious texture in the pant suit. The sheer neck scarf is just fabulous and puts this suit in a class of its own – very, very Armani.

Chic hair with classic red lips adds elegance to the look. Product info below the cut.

Working It

Here is a daytime chic look that would work for the office, running errands, important meetings, or whatever it is you need to look fabulous for.

I simply adore the baroque blouse with the high collar and ruffled cuffs (by Last Call) – very Dolce & Gabbana! I combined it with a pair of beautifully textured capris from Truth, and red accents.


I love it when I get to use my favorite red bag from Deux Filles; it adds instant chic-ness. Hair is simple and clean; pulled back in a high pony. Lips and nails echo the red accents. More product details below the cut.

Summer in the City

It’s a sizziling summer’s day and you’re heading out for some shopping.

image-1_06jun2007.jpg
Trendy high-waisted shorts paired with strappy sandals and plenty of gold jewelry make it glam enough to get you respect and attention from snooty boutique assistants. Adding a basic tank and a large bag keeps the look cool and daytime.

Hair is chic and well coiffed. Shimmery eyelids and peachy lips (with matching nails) for a summer look. Product info below the cut.

Double Agent

A shirt dress should be a staple in any well-dressed av’s inventory.  It’s incredibly easy to wear and it’s useful for many looks and occasions.  I’m wearing the Agent13 dress by Truth in these pics.

Casual Everyday
image-1_01jun2007.jpg

For an easy casual look I’ve simply paired it with some trendy black boots and silver or platinum jewelry.  I went with big delicious hair as I find it very difficult not to add a hint of glam to my looks :) .

Dark Side

image-2_01jun2007.jpg

For something a little different I decided to take the dress into darker territory. Fishnets, kinky boots, leather belts and heavier jewelry did that for me.  Not to mention the gorgeous make-up!  To balance it all out a little, I went with perky piggies on top.

Rich make-up for the everyday look and dramatic and over the top eyes for the dark look.  Product details below the cut.

Cool Sofistication

Today I felt like a clean and classy look. I had seen a picture in a magazine of a similar look (from Michael Kors’ summer runway show, I think) and loved it and here is my version.

The leggings transform the dress from cocktail to chic-sport, almost like a ballerina on a break. I’m keeping the accessories to a minimum, with a pair of thin hoops and a small clutch. The shoes are nude and the hair simply pulled back tightly in a high pony.

image-2_2007_05_28.jpg
The make-up is of course also simple with peachy lips and just a hint of shimmer on eyelids. Product details below the cut.

Parachute Cape

This is one jacket that I have been wanting to creat a look around for a while, but I just couldn’t get it to work. I’ve seen similar jackets in countless fashion spreads and really wanted to try my version. Then, along came the Christina outfit from Last Call. I adore the highwaisted pants with all the buttons, just delicious. However, at first, I didn’t think the two would work… but to my surprise, I think they do!

I added short and cute hair, my favorite platforms and a chic bag. Voilà!

Three Takes on Hellenas

This time I’ve used the beautiful empire line (or babydoll, if you prefer) Hellenas dress from Last Call for an attempt at three different looks for the same dress. I just have to say that the texture on this dress is so lush, I can almost hear the silk swoosh as I walk. It feels expensive and exclusive.

High Society. I’m thinking swanky cocktail party in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, or in London’s Belgravia.
image-1_16may2007.jpg
Elegant and classy hairdo paired with diamonds set in gold. Subtle make up and high, yet classy heels. Topped off with a gold sequin clutch – which you really can’t see so well in the pic, but looks fabulous as you walk or stand around.

Rock-chic. This look has attitude and can be worn anywhere anytime.
image-2_16may2007.jpg
I like the contrast of the expensive looking silk dress with a khaki military style jacket and sturdy boots. Smoky eyes and sexy hair add attitude. No accessories needed.

Romantic. This girl just fell in love and can’t think of anything but her honey.
image-3_16may2007.jpg
Keeping it simple as if she just threw on the first dress she saw, gathered her hair loosely, and slipped on a pair of ballerinas. The coin jewelry work with the embellishments on the dress itself.

Oh What a Lovely Day!

This was a lucky day for me! First off the very generous Elika Tiramisu of ETD gave away a willow pack of her newly re-textured Alexandra III (previously The Pullback II) to her update group – I just love it! Next, there was a buy-one-get-one-free sale at the Oh! What a Neat Boutique (OWNB)! How I love a good sale!
image-1_15may2007.jpg

My best find at the OWNB sale was definitely this Future Vintage Dress, which I thought went well with the new EDT hair. However, I’m not sure how to classify this look… is it causal? Chic? A bit boho? I’m gonna have to leave that up to you. All I can say is that I would wear this daytime… perhaps on a shopping spree.

Shopping Chic

This is an excellent little outfit that I like to throw on when I’m heading out for some serious spending.
image-11_06may2007.jpg

The red blouse is from Julex, as is the belt. The capris are from Celestial Studios, and the shoes from Shiny Things. The icing on the cake is of course the fabulous saddle bag from Deux Filles – très, très chic!
image-12_06may2007.jpgimage-13_06may2007.jpg

I’ve gone with gold jewelry; the earrings are from Cailyn’s (freebies), the necklace from Yummy and the bangles from Earthtones. The obvious choice for make-up was lushious red lips. The only accessory missing here is the poodle on a leash.
