Gloria Meets Gizza.

How lucky I am to have been sent this Gizza dress to blog today when I was sitting there twirling my hair waiting for inspiration to strike...da dah.  There it was...the new Gloria dress from Gizza popped right in my mail box.  Its a gorgeous, well made piece that comes with a hud to change the colors...mauve, purple and blue would be the best description of the colors.

 

 
As you can see, its smart and simple and so well made.  The frill is quite unbelievable and looks even better in SL than in these pics.  As we all know, its often the case that clothes photograph better than they look in SL but this Gizza stunner shines in the flesh.

Casually Cute.

As I put this post together, I'm enjoying a glass (or two) of 2007 Shiraz from Wyndham Estate in New South Wales.  Gorgeous drop and those first waves of chillaxation are enveloping me like a mohair rug on a cold night.  Please excuse any typo's but blame the wine makers at Wyndham for it.

 I've put together a cute casual today built around the terrific little jeweled cashmere jumper from Fishy Strawberry in the most delightful shade of blue. 

I hit the grid running in my quest to accessorize.  Well as fast as my new Barletta heels from Similar Footwear would allow because these are seriously high  Totally gorgeous shoes and I'm falling more in love with this label with every pair I buy.

I found these denim shorts at Gizza Creations and paired them with the Fishy Strawberry lace cycling pants that I purchased recently.  I stopped by Modern Gypsy for a look at their bag collection and snaffled this Pop Culture bag with the sparkling image of Annie Lennox. There's a great selection of bags so if you're want something different, Modern Gypsy is a must see.

I'm also loving the recent Truth hair releases and Marielle is no exception.  I revisited my LeLutka stock of skins and opted for the Lola range in pale worn with the metallic blue lip tattoo and the huge Lola lashes that accompany the skin.  To top off I'm wearing my Pixel Mode prim nails and Steel Envelope necklace from Piddle.  Click the shop names for links.

While in Oz we don't celebrate Halloween in a big way, I did remember to buy some chocolates for any ghosts, ghouls or goblin's that may grace my door step on Monday evening. Only thing is, can I keep my husband away from the lolly jar until then?  Gotta go...I hear rattling in the kitchen.

Little Girl Blue.

While my fashion tastes are expansive and I love raw and edgy, sometimes a little winsome femininity soothes my senses.  I built this look from the Monica skin from Glam Affair that was a giftie at Modavia Fashion Week.  The pearly blue eye shadow and soft, luscious lips are quite exquisite and gave me the excuse I needed to bring out the Blue Roses Headpiece from LaGyo that I've been itching to wear.

It was at this point I went scouting for clothing pieces to create my Little Girl Blue look.  I hit the jackpot at Gizza Creations with this most feminine top called Bon Bon Blouse featuring girly bows and lace.  Given the ornateness of the blouse, I opted for simple shiny white leggings from Emery with spiked cuff that complimented the Otranto heels in white from Similar Footwear.

   
I'm loving 'My Beauty Case' from Les Petits Details (LpD) and just had to have it.  These pics are taken at LpD's mainstore at GoldenSand Island and encourage you all to go there for a look.  You absolutely won't be disappointed. 

Hair is a new release from Vanity Hair called 'Mimmi' and its a very chic razor cut bob with hair base that is a particularly great option to wear with clothing where you want to elongate the neckline.  The delicate powder blue earrings are called India Dangle from Junk Jewelery and my favorite prim nails from Pixel Mode.

Gizza Gave Me A Jolly Good Rogering.

My wardrobe is a mess.  I can't find anything and it's like a lucky dip when I prepare for a blogging.  I found this outfit called 'Jolly' from Gizza in the dark recesses and popped it on.  It reminded me of everything wonderful about this label.  A label that has taken off with a bullet.

I haven't visited Gizza in quite some time and as luck would have it, I dropped in on the new main store and imbibed all that funky fashion until my eyes couldn't take it anymore and they screamed 'stop...it's all too beautiful'.

I jumped on my photo studio purchased from Second Snaps Studio and took these pics as a way of saying thank you to Auster Elan and Giz Seom for their incredible contribution to the SL fashion industry.  While I can't remember ever receiving this outfit, it was great that I found it and took the opportunity to see some of the amazing pieces being produced for us all to enjoy..  I was salivating over the coats and jackets in particular.
