I Really, Really <3 Cupcakes

I have always been a fan of Cupcakes…the clothes are cute, as well as beautifully textured and constructed…but the other day when buying up a few of the new spring items… I saw this wonderful asymmetrical jacket. How could I have missed it before? It looked really interesting and I couldn’t wait to try it on. Wow! Do I love it?!!  It is so well done and the style is amazing. I started trying on different pieces with it and quickly came up with 3 different outfits for 3 very different looks. I couldn’t decide which I liked better so I will show all of them to you in installments.

First, the “Audrey” look. Named after the hat from Lelutka which I am sure is named for Audrey Hepburn <3! Hope you like it and you’ll see the other two shortly.

See ya,

Something Old, Something New…

While cleaning and sorting inventory the other day I came across an old favorite from Last Call. The whole LC outfit is named Marguerite and I always loved it. Beautiful textures and design, the trademark of Ginny Talamasca. I confess I am guilty of wearing mostly new acquisitions …probably because I forget what I have buried in the deep recesses of my closet!  Oh, so here was the perfect opportunity to put it  (the top at least) together with one of my new favorites from Coco, the Party Dress.  Since the Last Call top is transparent I added under it the top part of another old favorite from Ghost! by Triangle Caudron. (Ghost! is no longer around but Triangle is and has a new store called Triangle so go see it for some of the most imaginative design on the grid.)  A recent purchase was the Goth Necklace from Fashionably Dead….I love the multiple chains and the length. The sash is taken from Day Dream from Sweetest Goodbye, which I modified slightly. I found this clutch bag at +plus and if you haven’t been there you should go, lots of really great goodies there. Anyway after a hard day of cleaning inventory I was happy with this look and have resolved to continue to incorporate older items from my inventory into my daily wardrobe. Those that have the quality and the style will stay in the closet and the others that haven’t stood the test of time will be weeded out and *gasp* deleted.  The point is don’t forget the some of the old favs……bring them out and have fun!

More Pashmina

I love these pashminas so much….I had to post just one more of these. If you see me around the grid in the next few hours, er..ehm…days I will probably be wearing one. This one is the peaches and cream and I threw it on with  Last Call Jodphers and an Aoharu leather jacket. These shawls are so pixeliscious!

Sweater Love

Okay, so in every closet or drawer there is one thing you really, really LOVE. Well, this Ibizarre cropped pink sweater with its crewel embroidered flowers is something I just adore. The textures are amazing and, although I am not always a girl who goes for bright colors, when I slip into this little cardigan I always feel happy. And it can go with everything…from a snowy day in the mountains to a campus look to a slightly dressier look.  So here are three different looks built around this piece.
