Today i was running around the beautiful Costa Rica sims with exploding volcanoes and thunderstorms and being thoroughly impressed by the quality build. I started the day dressed for cooler climes - with this stunningly rich red jacquard skirt from VOGART and the nubby tights from pochette. I tossed on a leather jacket with this camisole underneath in case it got warmer and it sure did. Costa Rica was steamy so I lost the jacket. The shoes, though, were sturdy enough for hiking through the rainforest.  All in all, a beautiful day. More photos and style notes at It’s Only Fashion.

While in Phil’s Place, I usually wear heels as much as I can. I love heels in both worlds and the fact that I don’t get virtual blisters makes me love them even more. However, every once in awhile it is fun to switch it up and wear flats. I decided to share with ya’ll my three favorite pair of flats-in no particular order

     The first pair of flats are the “Funny Girl” flats from Periquita. These have been blogged a few times before, but they are so great they deserved to be blogged again. The pointed toe on them is fabulous, and all the colors they come in are absolutely yummy. I have the red (pictured) and cyan, so far, but buying more colors is always a possibility!

     The second pair of flats is the “Scultpted Ballet Flats” from Surf Co. These flats are simple and easy to dress up and down. They come with a set with buttons (pictured) or without.

     The third and final pair of flats come from Veschi. They are simply named “Flats.” The best part about this particular pair of flats is that they are color changable. For one low price, you can have a pair of flats to go with every outfit.

     While this post is about shoes, I just have to mention the dress pictured. While shopping in Big Booty Big Money the other day, I felt the urge to wonder. I usually don’t wonder because this often ends in impulse buys. This dress is one, but I love it! This dress is from DP Serendipity, which was a couple of doors down from BBBM. The dress is called “Ame-OdeKake” and the coloring is so much fun.

     There you have it, three great choices for flats. If you feel like standing on some flatter ground, head on over to Periquita, Surf Co, or Veschi and get you a pair! Visit http://aliltherapy.wordpress.com/ for full photo credits.

As I sit lunching on watercress sandwiches with the ladies at the club, I’m endlessly thankful for this lovely summer dress made available for $L1 from Nicky Ree for Mothers Day. Conservatively “in fashion” without being outspoken, it’s the sort of dress one could wear quite appropriately at many social occasions. She includes several skirt options - from this flowery wisp of a skirt to a lovely fitted satin option to take it into evening-wear.

While I was still wearing my new Earthtones necklace I:
1) bought the Cecilia dress from Paper Couture and
2) got the new Pixeldolls group gift
so here they are together. The name “Sheila” is related to “Cecilia” so that was one reason to buy the dress - also the textures are soooo good, and the skirt hangs beautifully. The dress comes with a big lace collar, which I show in one picture.

“Cecilia” is also the name of a Simon and Garfunkel song, one which always used to cheer me up, so I went in search of some Simon & Gurfunkel memorabilia and found this album cover on “Rob’s Rock Island”. He’s created walkways amongst ice mountains, with little room settings containing pictures of different rock stars - a nice place to wander round (see below). The other pictures are on Infolit iSchool.

Cecilia dress: Paper Couture, Barcola (79, 125, 25)
Duchess top in black: Pixeldolls, Port Seraphine (14, 128, 56)
Purple tights: The Closet, Concinna (19, 100, 89)
Viniani shoes in black: Armidi Gisaci, Armidi (136,120,25)
Kamoana Shell voilet Necklace, earrings and bracelets: EARTHTONES, Muse (77, 170, 10)
Ryuuzaki Hair in purple: Kin, Eventide Far East (138, 171, 41)

This outfit features a couple of items I got free: the cardigan and the top from a pretty pink dress by Seldom Blue. Although I already had some silver shoes I couldn’t resist getting the Vinianis in silver, and the recent Earthtones release seemed to add the right touch.

Cardigan in silver: Mimikri Hot Couture, Vanilla Isle (184, 203, 21)
Linen long skirt pink: The Closet, Concinna (19, 100, 89)
Top of pink dress and underpant layer: Seldom Blue, Manatoba (148,137,31)
Viniani shoes in silver: Armidi Gisaci, Armidi (136,120,25)
Kamoana Shell voilet Necklace and bracelets: EARTHTONES, Muse (77, 170, 10)

I’m so happy I had the chance to go to the 5 Min Fashion Show at Clever Zebra today! When I arrived to find out the guest designer was none other then Nicki Ree I was even more pleased!

The 5 Min Fashion Show is held Mon - Fri @ 3pm SLT. Each day a different designer stops by to talk about their work and answer questions. It’s a nice break in the day and a unique opportunity to chat with some of SL’s greatest creatives.

Today Nicki Ree presented a gorgeous new gown…

I was too mesmerized to even catch the name, but keep an eye on her blog or her OnRez Shop as I am sure it will become available very soon!

What *is* available…and only $1L… is Nicki’s Mothers Day Dress!

It’s available now at Tropical Orchid _ Go grab one and indulge yourself this Mother’s Day…unless your a Dad. You’ll have to wait!

Enjoy!

Inventory cleaning time!!! It’s a dirty job but we all have to do it.  And it’s best we dress for the work at hand, something rugged that can stand up the heavy lifting and flying dustballs of inventory cleaning. Okay, okay, none of that is true, I just wanted to wear my Cordovan Boots.  I love their clean but rugged good looks. From Five Minutes After - they are a steal @ 230 Lindens. Much less than your average boot - while as detailed and better fitting than most. More info and photos @ It’s Only Fashion

 Hello all! Yet again, we are closing another week in good ‘ole Phil’s Place. And, yet again, I have picked a Best and a Worst of the Week. Why do I do this weekly post, you ask? Because…well, just because I want to.

     The Best of the Week goes to Maitreya. I am in love love love with their new hair textures! I’ve been a fan of their shoes, but wasn’t too crazy about their hair. That is until this week! The new textures are pure perfection and look perfectly real. I want to reach into my computer screen and touch it. Also, the fact that they listen to their customers makes me like this brand even more. The “Loose Bun” was originally just used as a color demo. But, so many customers begged for it to be released as a style we could purchase, they did just that. And, all in about a weeks time. Great customer service and even better hair!

     For the Worst of the Week, I am going to go with all the “witch hunting” that has been going on with the blogs. Is Minnu Model Skins ripping off textures? Is it wrong that the Juicy Shoes used the term “Stiletto Moody” in their key words under search? Is Cachet ripping off RL designers? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…The amount of drama on the boards this week has been exceptionaly high. While I do believe the consumer has a right to know what they are buying, I think it is extremely unfair to the creators that their names are being dragged through the mud before they can even comment on whether it is true or not. Am I going to comment on what I think about MMS’s “stealing” or Juicy being “unethical”? Nope. I’m just going to call all this “he-said-she-said” the Worst of the Week, post my little blog, and go back to buying what I like because I like it (and hope that everyone else does the same).

     There you have it my Best and Worst of the Week. Take the link (http://aliltherapy.wordpress.com/) for the full photo credits and have a great weekend!

I love Kimonos. I can’t say enough about them, but I’ll try to be concise. They are, in my opinion, one of the perfect feminine garments on the earth. Delicate, ornamental, plain, or extravagant they can fit any occasion.
