Da Da...It's Been A While But I'm Back With Some LeeZu Magic.

Hello darlings...yes it's been a while between posts but my post operative guest has left and my nursing duties are no longer required so I have more time for blogging.  I must say I have missed it and each and every one of you who visit my blog.  I purchased this ever so unusual one shouldered knit top and powdery blue skirt both from LeeZu.  The top has the quirk I love and the skirt has a striking poppy pattern and rust colored frill.

I'm wearing hair called 'Dali' from Loovus Dzevavor, a label that delivers unusual, sophisticated couture.

  
The orange and black highly detailed bag is a great find from BSD Design Studio.  OMG folks, their bag collection is wonderful.  I also found these darling fringed heels from there.  That shop is utter perfection and never disappoints me.

Its always such a thrill when you start your outfit with one or two key pieces then go shopping to find accessories to create a look distinctly yours.

I read with interest the last SLecrets from Shopping Cart Disco that someone posted their formula on blogging, particularly the part that states "Post pics of yourself in stuff you clicked on to wear and had nothing to do with the creative process in designing it, but feel creative by wearing someone else's shit".  I thought about it for a while and realized that while fashion bloggers don't make the creations, blogging fashion is paying homage to a designer by way of promotion.  I think we bloggers provide a service by featuring all of their hard work and yes, styling fashion does require an eye and some creative flair when accessorizing to create an entire look.  I know I spend hours scouring the stores to bring an outfit to life so while that poster is entitled to their opinion, perhaps provide us all with a link to your blog to see how it should be done eh?

Ode To Donna.

Like so, so many of you, I'm saddened to hear that the heart and soul of Donna Flora, Squinternet Larnia, is unwell.  A few posts back I mentioned that I wanted to feature two complete Donna Flora outfits and this is my second installment.  Please check out the Love Donna Flora blog for more information on how we can become involved.

I'm sure every little bit helps so went shopping at her store to create something pretty and uplifting which isn't difficult given the amazing selection of outfits.

I was drawn to this dress fittingly called 'BonBon'.  I feel like a wonderful, decadently wrapped present.  Anyone want to open me?

As I said, I wanted to be 'Donna Flora'd' from head to toe and apart from the skin and hair, everything else is pure Squinternet.

I'm loving the fusion of the dress with the two tone pink 'Milva' heels.  Good choice Cha!

I think Squinternet does the best jewellery.  The details are exquisite and you only have to cam in close to see the intricate work involved in each piece.  I chose the 'Gloria' set for this outfit with color change hud and its stunning.  How utterly fitting that she won the BOSL Award for Best Jewellery in 2011.

Now the hair was either a freebe or dollarbie from Hair Fair 2013 created by Loovus Dzevavor called 'Hourglass'.  It was a fat pack and I chose to show the color 'Ditzie 1'.  I love the interplay between the hair and the skirt...it's bouffant all the way darlings. Hopefully this hair will be available in store too once the Fair has finished.

Although I have never met Squinternet, it is through her creations that she speaks to me (and all of us who have ever worn her designs).  I send you heart-felt thanks for sharing yourself in SL and making it a more beautiful place to dwell.  While we may not enjoy your designs in their physical form, there's nothing virtual about your artistry and the fact we can take pictures and capture the brilliance.
