W&B, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Finally I got a go from Twiggy Whippet to use these dresses in a blogpost. She sent me these some time ago as a gift, but since she was no where near to opening her shop, it didn’t feel right to put pressure on her by blogging them back then.
Twiggy is the primary designer of Whippet&Buck and she’s currently building her shop and inventory and when I asked her about the status of things, she gave me a go, and she told me she’s planning to open in about 2 weeks. So keep an eye open for more information and SLurls and such.

So from left to right, I have styled the Bardot Tartan Tube dress in a few different ways:
The Olive drab dress I’m wearing with LeLutka’s black Dietrich blouse, Kyoot Army’s brown/black Electro belt, and Maitreya’s lime patent pumps. The purple Valentino I’ve teamed up with the scarlet medium length gloves from Fleur and the Feur scarlet Leather Sash Belt. The necklace is Aemilia, from W&B and the shoes are Belle, from Shiny Things. Then there is the Indigo, which I’m wearing with the Cole boat neck top from W&B in Electric, and the Turquoise patent belt from Fleur, and the classic blue stacks from Shiny Things. To the far right I’m wearing the Bardot Tartan Tube dress in gold, as is, with only the Calla necklace from Dela and the yellow Dahlia pumps from Armidi.

Further, in all 4 cases, I’m wearing Efe,fromPXLCreations, which I’ve been told is about to be released later this week and Damselfly’s Valerija hair.

Style-ups for Stella


Stella (Michami), originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Omg, two rants yesterday, what was I thinking?? *snickers* On a more positive note, last night I was talking to a friend who had some issues with Michami’s new creation, Stella. She was a bit disappointed that the jacket closes with one button and that it will mostly leave your belly exposed if you try to wear a shirt under it. So I started fiddling with it and styled it in 4 different ways, because I think this is a lovely basic suit.

So here we go, from left to right and with the upfront note that all hair is by Kavar Cleanslate from Exile, and the skins are Linda gen2 from PXL Creations by Hart Larsson.

Blue: I took Intimizzio’s white Chiara di Luna underwear layers and added the white frilly scarf from Vette’s Boutique for a clean, simple yet elegant look. The shoes are ETD’s Kristin boots in steel blue. The Fedora is attached to Exile‘s cover girl hair and is scripted to change textures, but I did ad a little purplish grey to match the colour of the suit better. The earrings are from Paper Couture.

Beige: For this version I used Michami’s gold tank top, which comes on every useful layer, and matched it with the stole from Ce Cubic effect (dyed) and the perfectly ton-sur-ton champagne Dune Bots from Maitreya. The beautiful medallion is Flora, by Luc Fashion jewelry.

Wine: I’m not smaller here… I just wear flats. Gisaci‘s Sasche flats in wine is a perfect match to this suit. The top is Novocaine‘s Genevieve long sweater in storm. The scarf is Muism‘s chunky pompoms multistripe 2 (worn on spine) and the matching chakra long beads necklace is once again from my jewlery crack dealer Luc Fashion Jewelry.

Black: Just a scarf can be enough cover up at times, like in this case my old and trusted (presculpty era) striped scarf from Iki. The chunky heart necklace is from Miam Miam (Apparently there is no shop location for Miam Miam at this time, since Viva la Glam swas closed) and the boots are from The Abyss. The Buddy Holly glasses from Artilleri are another of my all time inventory favourite, for the smart & sexy look.

So… there really are a lot of possibilities to cover up your belly button… but I do like to extend a plea to content creators… if you make shirts, please consider multiple layers, and underpants layers as well, for us avatars, who don’t want to show off their well toned pixel tummies.
