Aaaaah… yes… today’s look is about old again, actually, it’s been some time that this skirt and blouse have not been available anymore. It is one of the first things I bought when I first started out in SL, it’s a 2006 item from Mischief, Jackie. Honestly, it still looks pretty!

Janie Marlowe, after having been around forever, with her brand Mischief is going to close her shop and will launch a complete new brand. So no drama, just, after so much time, Janie wants something new and fresh, and a new brand is the way. In the meantime there is still a sale going on on her current collection, so go get some of her lovely outfits before they will disappear forever. I’d like to thank Janie from here, for being such a constant fashion factor in my SL, and I’m looking forward to her new designs!

Like I said, Jackie was discontinued quite some time ago already, but the bag and belt from fri.day are, as well as the champagne Volume necklace from Atelier AM and Maitreya’s verve pumps.
I’m wearing League’s Taylor skin (medium, feline) and Truth’s Roxana in almond.

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:

So, I think this week’s 50 L$ Friday is going to be a series of must haves again. Yesterday I showed you Casa del Shai’s contribution already, and today I am wearing 5th  & Oxford‘s Seaside Sweetie, which is a preview of their upcoming release in an exclusive 50 L$ Friday colour (will not be part of the release). Roslin has really nailed the butt shading on these high waist shorts, and to make a stripe pattern look this good on the SL avatar mesh, is a pain in the butt and also the other contributions I have seen so far from Artilleri and Arcade tell me that it’s worthwile braving the lag this week!

On a whole different subject, Luth Brodie from Reel Expressions has released new poses again. It’s been quiet for a while at Luth’s, but the last few weeks, she’s on a roll again. I couldn’t resist the new stool poses with prop. Hers remain some of the best poses in SL, though it really irks me that for some poses, my legs seem to be not long enough, while for others in the same set they are. I’ve picked only poses which are really good for me for this pic though :-).

Enjoy, ❤ Grazia

Other need to know: Hair by Clawtooth, skin by Fashionably Dead, tote by BOOM, glasses by GOS  and shoes by Maitreya.

Today’s look is about the release of Exodi planned for later today. Ryker has made some really cute shirts and shorts, perfect for the warm weather we currently have over here. The Imani Tees will come in 9 colours, and the Denim Frayes Lounge shorts in 8 different jeans shades.

I’m combining Exodi’s clothes with Dark Mouse’s silver Vintage Troll necklace, Maitreya’s white prim socks and Shiny Things’ pale pink Zimmy flats.

Today’s skin is Atomic’s Grace (Carame- cherry blossom) and I’m wearing fri.day’s Adriana in timid brown.
The shape I have made for Grace will be out later today at /GEEZ/

Milla Michinaga @ Michami has released this sexy new dress “Kat” in some beautiful color combinations. I’ve picked the black/silver one for today’s look. Kat comes with both a sculpted and a system skirt, but to be honest, I find that the sculpt skirt gives me a bigger butt than the system skirt, so I’m sticking with that.

I’m combining the dress with Aoharu’s black collarless jacket, Blowpop’s fishnet stockings, Tesla’s black Angelina boots and LeLutka’s black Jills Fighting Talk gloves.

Adding some carfully picked accesoires such as fri.day’s black cinch belt, Mandala’s Shaka necklace and GOS’new Cateye sunglasses and I’m good to go… well, anywhere really.

I’m wearing Belleza’s Elle (blond, pale 6) and Epoque’s Calm hair.

The Asian shirt from yesterday’s look was not the only thing I picked up while I was shopping at Arai. This blue striped Simple Twas also among my purchases. I’m combining it with the red cuffs of Artilleri’s red Beatrix shirt to make it a bit more girly. The red Sendal scarf was a x-mas gift from the creators behind Maitreya and I don’t think it’s available in the shop, but I love it and I wear it quite often.
The Anjuna pants are from Zaara and the white Sheila thongs are from SLink. the grey “My VW Thing”sunglasses are from Surf Couture.

I’m still in PXL Creations new beta skin, although this is like 5 versions after the one I wore yesterday and Anna in timid brown from fri.day is today’s hair.

It’s a full figured Monday 😀 I’m wearing Maitreya’s boyfriend jeans and Nyte ‘n Day’s blue transpose blouse under Nyte ‘n Day’s white Transpose vest/ Earrings and Necklace Aemilia in indigo are from Whippet & Buck. The cobalt lucid belt is from fri.day and the blue 8 holes are from GOS.

I have modified my Julie shape to make her even a bit fuller an did some small tweaking to fit Laqroki’s Pearl (fair, make up 07) and I’ve picked Truth’s Riley in champagne to complete today’s look.

Slurls can be found here.

Autumn Hykova from Tiny Bird has made some adorable summer dresses! I couldn’t pick a colour, so I’ve been playing Barbie all night switching, to finally settle for the bright pink St. Augustine dress. I thought it would be really cute with the flower cardigan from Coco.

Such a summer combination doesn’t need a lot more, so I just slipped into fri.day’s berry basic flats and put on my teal Onyxia sunglasses from Artilleri and I’m all ready to go!

I’m wearing Tres Blah’s Hiccup skin (Lavender Lippie, which was a stumblebum special) and Tiny Bird’s Greetings from Italy hair in warm black.

SLurls, as usual, can be found here.

Look of the Day: May 8, 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Today’s look is inspired by the beautiful music of the Gotan Project. Traditional tango, but with a modern beat to it. Very catchy, I can listen to it for hours.

I am wearing the black Romani dress from Azul, which is a perfect little number for any tanguera, and the floral attachment is from Donna Flora’s Diletta dress. The black lace border stockings are from Blowpop, and the long gloves, matching perfectly with the red from the flower are from 5th & Oxford. I’m also wearing Pixel Mode’s black Baby T shoes ( I should have fatpacked… over the weeks I have bought so many of them that the fat pack would have been cheaper anyway).

Isis is a skin which will be released sometime soon at Dutch Touch, doesn’t she have a sweet face, after the more edgy looks of Keira and Kiki? Michelle 2 in cranky brown from fri.day is today’s hair of choice and the corsage des fleurs rouges is from Tomoto.

Fade Lei @ Ugly Duck has a new skin out, Lily, and while it’s not my every day face, I love the carefully drawn features, which give me something diaphanous and fragile. I’m wearing it today with fri.day’s Mandy in jaded blond. Although the skin has quite dark brows, it doesn;t look bad at all with this shade of blond.

Niniko’s low rise jeans with prim belt is one of those must have basics. It’s in my current “quick”outfit… to put on in otherwise embarrassing situations, like a crash and relog on Ahern. Whippet & Buck’s Flutter tank in Akaroa is another one of my current favorites and fri.day’s Tourist jacket in army has been lurking in my inventory for quite some time, but I have never worn it til now.

Those Shoes are from Smersh, and the simple silver necklace is unreleased, it’s something Jori from alaMood has been fiddling with.
