Formalities, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

The good part of having someone sharing your blog, is that they might actually come up with some cool ideas like “Hey, what about doing a post together?” So here we are. Hunain is looking totally handsome in his Pinstripe Formal Suit in brown, from Aoharu, back Loafers w/Stripe by Hoorenbeek and his almost inseparable HOC Apparel Aviator Style Glasses. Hunain’s skin is a vintage which is no longer available and his hair is Joey in ash brown III by MADesigns.

Yours truly is wearing Maggie in coral by Azul, which I picked to wear to the thinger of my dear Jori and Trouble to confirm their unison (it’s a running gag that it was NOT to be called a wedding, but trust me, it totally was). The perfect shoes for this delicate gown are the Nude Saffron pumps from Lelutka (also because you REALLY need a bit of height to make the gown work!!). The Sparkling Spheres jewelry is from Paper Couture. The elegant updo to go with this look is Jocelyn, by Truth, in espresso, and I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Maan basic.

W&Y hair: Model 2

W&Y hair: Model 2, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I just had to share this hair from Waka & Yuki with you. W&Y became well known for their insanely cheap but really nicely done hair, but the brand has grown, and they have recently opened a sim of their own with an awesome new build, very regal and spacious.

Over time they have upped their prices a bit, but with the options they often offer with their hairdo’s 200 for 4 colours is still not a bad price at all. W&Y have not the best textures in my opinion, but they compensate with originality and accesoires.

This hair is from their Model section (Model 2) and i love it because a) I’m a total sucker for feminine short hair and b) I love the retro 60’s cut to this hair.

Other than W&Y I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Amber skin, Paper Couture’s Diamond Pearl Menagerie jewelry and Donna Flora’s Nivea dress.

Look of the Day, January 7, 2010

I like the casuals over at Aoharu and I’m eternally grateful for Machang making some of the best stuff for our poor, fashion deprived, guys. But I really LOVE this slightly more formal release, an  (obviously) Chanel inspired tweed dress and jacket. Wearing the brown dress here with the ivory jacket for a little bit of contrast, but it’s über stylish in uni color as well.

I’ve accessorized it with the gossamer necklace from Paper Couture and Miel’s Bella Peepers. I was considering one of Paper Couture’s rings as well, but with Mademoiselle Coco’s golden rule in mind… I didn’t go for it.

Exile’s Eva is a gorgeous Grace Kelly like updo with a modern twist, and is just perfect for today’s look. And well, I’m currently still infatuated with L.Fauna’s Lapine, so I’m wearing pale 2 Mystic with freckles today.

This is an outfit I’d totally wear during a meeting in RL. The jacket is from the Black Floral SuitGown from latest collection of Paper Couture, and theI’ll be a Ghost shirt is a 50 L$ Friday item from Whippet & Buck. The ultra feminine skirt is from Kunglers’ black Claudia dress.

My favourite stockings currently are the lace top stockings from Blowpop. Today I’m wearing the brown 40 derniers and the shoes are Maitreya’s Neyya toe cap white, which match the rest of the outfit just perfectly.

Très Blah has out the most adorable new skins, and I’ve picked the freckled Hiccup light Drama skin and just to give a nonchalant touch to it all, I’m wearing the casual Penelope in almond by Truth.

Martini Cocktail

Martini Cocktail, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I wanted to do something with the Holiday gift Martini dress which Truth had in the subscribo last week (it’s still there btw, if you have missed it, go to the central hall at Truth Hair, click the kiosk and retrieve it from history. It’s the 2nd archive notice), but I’ve seen it blogged so many times already and in so many cute ways, that it took me a while before I found my way of wearing this pretty little number.

Anyway, what I did was, I rezzed the skirt of Martini and unlinked the prims so I could delete the bow and the waistband and linked the remaining prims back again. then I picked it up again (it then goes into your objects folder, in case you can’t find it in the outfit folder). Then I rezzed the skirt of Paper Couture’s Lush gown (still available on xstreetsl.com) and deleted the opaque red long skirt and relinked the 33 remaining prims and took it back into my inventory as well (objects folder)

So, with the 2 modified skirts, and the top of Truth’s Martini dress, I have created a fun and festive party outfit. Semi formal, and worn here with Bax Coen’s suede purple prestige boots, for a more edgy look. The GORGEOUS “my Butterfly” necklace is from Pacadi Jasha. It’s one of those statement pieces which I love so very much.

I’m wearing Truth’s Anise in cranberry (hair band recoloured) and KA designs Vivienne (pale, make up 1)

Oh, and for the record… this is another mix up with the same dresses:

Look of the -Wear Grey for a Day- Day, September 18, 2009

Wear grey for a day is a way to raise awareness for brain cancer, so it’s something I gladly participate in. It’s such an intangible disease and it affects so many people, that the more people are aware , and are willing to support one way or another, is worth the effort since the best way of beating brain cancer is early detection… and for that, people need to know about it.

So, grey is key today, starting with an Armidi base of their Kogo skinny pants and the white Cambridge shirt. On top of it I’m wearing the grey Julian Argyle cardigan from Church of Luxe. Jewelry is the black pearl set from Paper Couture and I honestly don’t know if it’s still available. I’m also wearing Bax Coen’s black prestige boots and Coco’s black leather belt.

Today’s skin is Dutch Touch’s Cleo in Apricot Punk and I’m wearing Truth’s Rose in silver.

I just heard on the news that today might be the last real summer day in a while… but I’m in a fall mood already anyway, so while I’ll enjoy the sun today, I can wait for the storms to kick in. I started today’s outfit with the brown Chidori habit cloak from Barerose and teamed it up with ICING’s Femme noir dress, super simple, super classy and one of my all time inventory faves. I dug up Chapeau très Mignon brown fox stole to accesorize, as well as the Paper Couture spring cuff (gems recoloured for a less “spring”look) and fri.day’s brown wide waist belt. The genius peepers from Miel are the finishing touch. Not on the pic, but still part of the outfit, are Blowpop’s 40 dernier brown stockings and Maitreya’s black verve pumps.

I’m wearing Lake Bety pale from &Bean and Adie in black from Mirone. The nailpolish is from Adam ‘n Eve

Black and grey are always in style, and so are pencil skirts. Can’t go wrong. I’m wearing Artilleri’s Simplicity black pencil skirt with Whippet & Buck’s Taupe grey Hykova buttoned tank top today. The large belt is from Maiiki’s Strapless & Patent. The impossibly high heeled, lolita-ish Highschool shoes from N-core with tintable socks are perfect with this understated look. I’ve accesorised with one of my very oldest jewelry purchases, the Cameo & Sautoir set from Bong Fromage!, which, even though pre-sculptie, is still looking up to par to newer items. The cute clutch is from Adam ‘n Eve. Someone give Damen Gorilla an award for his sculpt work, or at least a bag of his favourite cookies! The man is so good!

I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Dune Vamp tanned and Paper Couture’s Princess Heidi hair, which I modded to take the bun off and tinted the roses grey.

Less usually is more and that also goes for this outfit. Simple, well made basics, for a cool and laid back look which is still totally elegant. The white jeans are from Celestial Studios. I’ve had them for ages, but they are still on par with the current fashion standards. The simple white blouse is from Aoharu. it’s one of those items everyone should have in their inventory, RL & SL alike. I’ve opted for a green top here, the Dalini top from Decoy (I totally rediscovered that shop thanks to hair fair!). I actually bought the fat pack of those tops, they come in lovely colours. Go easy on accesories. I see so many avies who’d make exquisite x-mas trees… but really, one or 2 pieces wel chosen are more effective. I’ve picked the oversized enamel hoops from Paper Couture, as well as their Sprin multi stone ring.

I’m wearing Curio’s Post Ironic hair in ash, and Cupcakes’ Seduction Wheat-Summer.
