Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little.  There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

e!…Ingenue, Essences, Dark Mouse

    A while back my wonderful partner, Vanish suggested that I stop making my blogs SOOOO detailed and just blog about the one or two items of each outfit that really caught my attention.  That is SOOOO hard to do when there are SOOOO many pretty things just staring back at you!  The funny thing about it, is that this outfit ...

Bronze – Contemplations

by El | 2 » | Oct10 11
This has been by far one the hardest posts I have ever had to write. I have been blogging almost a year now and I guess this is my first case of real “Bloggers Block”! It seems like no matter what I do...or don't do, I just could not make this look come together. And there are SO many things ...

Firebrick – Remembrance

by El | 0 » | Sep10 11
Firebrick....OMG...I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Never mind that Bronze is due as we speak...:/ Firebrick and Bronze are starting to remind me of Autumn. I was driving home the other day with my beloved Vanish and he just kind of chuckled when I said “The trees are starting to change color!!!!!”....like it was ...

Well...here we are....almost at the end of the 52 weeks of color challenge and I just seem to keep getting farther and farther behind. Each week I will VOW to myself to catch up...and even think that I can SEE an end in sight....and low and behold...something will happen that will keep it from occurring. Anyhow...at this rate, I am ...

Chartreuse

Well...as is usually the case with growing up, there are a few minor things that go wrong from time to time and require a little attention to correct it. So it is with some trepidation that I gladly announce that THIS time I am a “Big Girl Blogger” and have finally gotten my blog syndicated with Virtual Fashion Feed. There ...

Jazzberry and Becoming a “BIG Girl” Blogger!

by El | Comments Off | Aug25 11
  Yes, it is true! With this post (hopefully) I will officially be a “Big Girl "Blogger! About a year ago my precious partner, Vanish came to me and suggested that I start blogging about fashion. He seemed to think that I had a good eye for putting things together and he KNEW that I was always scavenging the grid, looking for ...

Apricot…..my fav’s

by El | 0 » | Aug12 11
Man oh man! Is anyone else as far behind as I am? It seems like the more I try to get ahead...the farther behind I get! I guess a LOT of it stems from the fact that I took a day “off” from taking and editing pictures and worked on getting my house in order. And I have to admit...it ...

Melon…..Gypsy???

by El | 1 » | Aug3 11
Most of the time this....this being actually writing the blog, can be the hardest part of all. “Melon” was not something that came together really easily to begin with...and when I saw that Apricot was the color for next weeks challenge I literally felt my heart sink. Apricot is just like Melon 2 but lighter...kinda like the Bud light of ...

Patriarch

by El | 2 » | Jul28 11
Patriarch is one of those colors that immediately conjures up pictures of royalty in your head and as much as I did NOT want to wear a gown this week, I just could not find anything in my inventory that said “Patriarch AND Royalty” that was NOT a gown. So I ended up putting together TWO looks for patriarch. The ...

Lemon

by El | 8 » | Jul19 11
When virtual life gives you lemons???.... I had something interesting happen to me this weekend. Not life changing...not globally important...not even conceptually amazing, but it WAS very interesting and the principle that runs through the core of it DID change MY life. I had joined a group a while back. It was just a second life clothing group....like tons of others, but ...
