1006, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

During one of my many attempts to downscale my inventory, I came across this dress again. It has been in there since… well.. I think since September 16, 2006, which is the day after I originally rezzed, and it was kinda old back then already. It has survived every inventory cleaning so far though and I think that it still looks pretty amazing after all this time, right?

Chip Midnight was one of the first designers around, and probably, the first ever to make photoreal skins commercially available to SL residents (many still use his templates for skins). I don’t know if he ever logs in these days, my guess is, he doesn’t because his profile still links back to onrez,  but his shop is around still (charter members got a plot of free land for life) . It is like a step back in time, vendors with models in system hair (he actually still sells some textured system hair models!), skins which now look bad, but at some time were top of the bill (do consider the fantasy skins though, they are still wonderful, though to today’s standard, expensive), some clothing that just makes me smile when I look at it because… well, because it’s just so very 2005…. But among all the fossils of SL, there are also a few gems like this dress. If you like SLvintage, Chip’s shop is definitely worth the TP.

Anyway, I am rambling, lets just jump to the credits:

Yesterdays was about the jammies, today is about the amazing new Vagabond pants which Toast Bard from Fashionably Dead released earlier today. At first I thought, wow… L$ 250? But then I saw that is for 4 pairs in black, white, grey and brown so that is really an amazing price!

A little after I picked up the trousers, I was talking to Dakota Buck, from Whippet & Buck, how Toast inspires her to create new things and that she wished she could achieve the level of wearability (which does exist in SL, odd as it may seem) that Toast has. But I think that both Dakota and Twiggy are doing a really fine job as far as wearability and creativity goes with their collection, so I’m gladly combining Toasts pants with Whippet & Buck’s turquoise Cole Boatneck top (which was a stumblebum brigade exclusive) as well as their Little Bit of Pretty necklace. Before we parted, Kota passed me the matching bracelet she’s working on and supposedly will be released some time soon.

I like it when Aranel Ah from BOOM ventures in prim stuff. This take it easy tote is very much like the bags I use in RL (and then I curse because I can’t find my keys in the mess) . Love it though!
Lat but not least, the teal Action’s womens Ballet pumpz are elegant because understated with this outfit. There are too little shoes in SL with a lower heel.

I’m still wearing League’s Taylor skin today, and My Protector in warm black from Tiny Bird (50 L$ friday item!!!)

SLurls, as usual, are listed here.

Just a quick look, with a touch of Mardi Gras in it. Earlier today the Lelutka Update group received these Jest Away leggings, and I’m wearing them with Fri/day’s black Comfy Cardi and Nyte ‘n Day’s grey Spun tank (it comes with black and white laxce!)

I decided to wear the red suede Prestige Boots from Bax Coen with this, which were a lovely gift from my dear friend Jori (thanks, kitten) and added a few more red accents with the Cord Wrap Necklace from Illusions (colour change on touch) and the flowers in Fashionably Dead’s Rainy Day hair (colour: Solo Dancer).

I’m smitten with Dutch Touch’s latest release Maan, and I’m wearing the Carmen make up today.

Slurls, as usual, can be found here.

This 60’s look is one of my favourite all time looks. The grapic design of the dress, in RL so stunningly represented by designers like Pierre Cardin or Paco Rabanne and of course Mary Quant has been translated to wearable Mondriaan (Falling for Piet Mondriaan) by Marleen Vaughan from Marlys. The notecards Marleen writes up for her designs crack me up and you really should read them! They’re a good giggle! I’m combining the dress with Michami’s black Noomi jacket, the black wide waist belt from fri.day (I think it’s my favourite item from that shop, they really ave an amazing fit!) and Bax Coen’s black Prestige boots. My glasses are the Ultimate Bugeye Glasses from Fashionably Dead.

I’m wearing TekuTeku’s Bell hair and KA Designs Charlize skin.
