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.

Lazy, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz. Image edited in photoshop

It has been a really fun and busy week. Samara was visiting in RL and we’ve been out and about all week. I’m sorry to see her go again, but what a good time we’ve had! This lady has really become a wonderful friend over time and I’m glad she could arrange some time in Amsterdam!

TGIF? well, yeah, the downside of me running around all week between work and spending time with my friend is that by now, I am just, plain tired! In a good way, but nevertheless, I’m not up to doing anything but being awfully lazy today… and maybe blog some…

Riq Graves, the creator from REEK has made these slide sandals in a ton of colour combinations, and while in RL I’d rather not be found dead wearing stuff like this… it is so utterly symbolical for being lazy!!!!
The socks come with them. Either you opt for the socked prim feet options, or slide them on your naked pixel feet… they look dorky and trashy in a good way. I’m wearing them here with Aitui’s Her Boy Briefs in plain aqua and T-junction’s I’m a Fucking Princess t-shirt. Skin is Iman from KA designs, and my hair is from Truth… but I didn’t write down which one and now I don’t remember which one from the cazillion Truth hairs I put on for this pic……

SySy Chapman has created this lovely Lana  dress as a SLDD exclusive for the month of May.  Only available for SLDD members, and only throughout this month.  SySy also made some  pretty arm laces to go with this dress, but I have never been too fond of those, so I prefer wearing Lana like this, with SLink’s Michaela shoes in gold and Tomoto’s corsage dse fleurs noires  in Truth’s Emme hair in espresso.

I’m currently infatuated with Ka Designs Iman skin, so that’s what I’m wearing here.

Read more about SLDD and how/where to sign up for membership here and visit SySy’s to get this beauty.

The other day there was (again) a discussion on plurk about system skirts. Either you love them or you hate them, apparently. Well, I love them… and to be honest, I think the haters haven’t yet tried a skirt from a designer who actually knows what he/she is doing with the skirt template. Yes, due to how the SL avi mesh is done, you get a big butt when you wear a system skirt, but…. hello… that’s what those shape sliders are for… set that butt on 0, make your hips a little less voluptuous and cut off a wee bit of those saddle bags, and voilà, there you go. Anyway, I’m wearing Ingenue’s Memo skirt in Carribean here and the Paris Blouse is from LG Femme.

I’m going to dedicate a whole blog post to SLink’s amazing new Michaela shoes on of these days, but for now, let me suffice to say they are currently the best deal as far as scripted prim feet shoes go. I’m wearing the teal Michaela’s today. The Moon River jewelry is from Magic Nook.

Tiny Bird has just released new hair, and after the survey Autumn to ask feed back about the fitting of Tiny Bird hair, this is such an easy fit for me! Thanks, Aut!!! I’m wearing Magic Trick in warm black today. My skin is KA Designs latest release Iman in tan (make up 1)

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.

Black is the new black.. especially when it’s denim. Always good for cool and/or stylish looks. Zaara’s classic jeans are currently among my faves. I’m wearing the charcoal ones here, and Aoharu’s black front knot shirt to go with it. Under that I’m wearing Boom’s sheer powder Her Pleasure bandeau top. I could have done without it, but, well… what you don’t show, is often more alluring than what is blatantly out there. The tattoo is not for sale, Hunain made it. I like text tattoos and wouldnt mind seeing more of them. My sneakers are from 2real. I told you the other day that Mandala has new stuff out, this is their Hannya necklace. The ‘Pink Eel sunglasses are from Shade Throne.

I’m wearing fri.day’s Marie in cranky brown, and Dutch Touch’s Maan pastel.

Happy Queen’s day! My fellow Dutch are going a little orange crazy on this day, which is the celebration of the Queen’s Birthday. I’m not likely to go into town today, but I figured I’d post this link to give you an idea what Queen’s Day in Amsterdam is like.

I’m wearing Nicky Ree’s Queen’s Day special Fiona in Orange and the oddly scripted but awesome looking Precious Queen crown, necklace and earrings from Alienbear. Odd because the crown comes with a built in heavy facelight, and the script is not really logical. Once you have figured how to turn it off it’s quite ok though, after all, with windlight who needs facelights anyway but to annoy your fellow residents.

I’m wearing Belleza’s Elle skin and fri.day’s Summer hair.

LOTD, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I’m using Zaara’s lime Churidar (which came with the fuchsia Syona Kurta set) and matched it with Très Blah’s black scoop neck top for today’s look. The back of Maitreya’s Billow Boots matches perfectly with the black of the top. You’d be surprised how bad different shades of black can look together, but this is a good fit!

I’ve kept accesoires simple with Illusions’cord necklace and bracelet, and Artilleri’s Onyxia teal sunglasses. The bow belongs to the scoop neck top.

I’m wearing Tuli’s Sayuri tone 2 make up 1 (freckles) and Tukinowaguma’s Ellie hair in black and then tinted in some of the many options that pop up when you touch the hair. Lagtastic without a doubt, but cute.

It’s Veschi day today! Alla Ruff has tons of newness out, all so cute, and in a plethora of colours and options. I’m wearing the top of the Jump Her! outfit in seafoam, with the Jump Her pants wide in smoke w’belt. The turquoise pumps are the oldies, but still goodies Dahlia pumps from Armidi. The simple gold bangles are an RFL easter hunt exclusive from alaMood.

I’m wearing Elena 10 in peach from LAQ and Scarlett in cranky brown from fri.day

Today’s look started with yesterday’s Flutter tank top from Whippet & Buck (50 L$ Friday exclusive) and Aoharu’s front knot shirt in pink. I wanted to go all pink, so I went over to Mentine to pick up their pink tight knee boots, but while there my eye got caught by the icecream colour packs, and instead of also wearing a pink skirt, I went to So many Styles and instead got the plain mint chiffon skirt .

Dakota Buck made the pretty lady skull necklaces for Whippet & Buck some time ago, and the Plastic Pink version matches nicely with the rest. Last but not least, I’m wearing Fishy Strawberry’s college glasses which were a 50 L$ Friday item this week.

I first tried on some really pink make ups, but ended up wearing Lelutka’s Ife (sunkissed make up 2) because about every other option I tried made me look SO sweet I got sick of it, and Truth’s Drew in night is the hair of choice today.
