More high-waisted love here. I’m wearing the High and Waisted Shorts (such a freaking cute name!) from [Random]. These are so cute. I love all the buttons and the notched waistband…ooh, and the seaming, the seaming is fantastic. The set has many layers which is perfect for using in different outfits. I’m loving the multiple-layers trend that is becoming more readily available in sl. Another piece that comes on many layers is the Camisole from the Callista Outfit from Last Call. I love all of the texture detail in this cami, and the bow is so sweet. The jacket is the Shorty Jacket from the Mayra Outfit which is also from Last Call. I love the buttons at the cuffs and the three-quarter length sleeves. Also, the fabric looks so soft and touchable.

 

I’ve been waiting so long to prance around in these heels. Finally, the day has come. I’m wearing the Genevieve Shoes in Jardin Ivoire from Last Call. There’s an amazing amount of different prints and colors available to please everyone. I love the little buckles and the detail in the texture. I was wondering why the color was called Jardin Ivoire until I finally zoomed in on the shoe and saw the little flowers. That kind of attention to detail just amazes me. My necklace is the Cats Eye Beads Necklace in Blue from Curious Kitties. I love, love, love this color. It’s a gorgeous bluey-purpley shade. The shading on the beads is fantastic as it adds such depth to the beads. My ring is the Cabochon Ring in Silver/Pearl from Lassitude & Ennui. The pearl texture is sooo pretty. I just love how it shimmers and the smoothness contrasts with the rougher texture surrounding it.

Ok I have a confession to make… I Hethr Engel am addicted to peasant skirts. All lengths and colors I just can’t resist buying them. So when I found the coco candy flexi skirt at Haunted Zuzu I snatched a blue one right up and I’m sure I’ll be back for the pink. I love how silky and shiny the fabric looks and also how full the skirt is. When I was finding a top for it I had to use the strappy bellsleeve sweater in ocean from Pixeldolls. Not only does it have amazing sculpted prim sleeves but it has a really neat pattern of straps on the back. I admit I was leery of sculpted prims when I first heard about them, but they really don’t seem to cause me much lag at all. I wanted something to go under the top so I put on the Eeast wind shirt in brown from Barerose. I actually love that the top has some cute beaded looking straps and a beaded necklace. I think it’s so well done I didn’t even add a prim necklace.

I know you are probably shocked by my lack of jewelry, but it just worked out that way today. I do have on my boho chic earrings from elka and these are up in my top 5 pairs because they are so adorably simple and match practically everything. I wanted some girly but still elegant shoes so I put on the metallic open toe pumps in silver from GLAM.

My favorite piece in this outfit is the white straw hat from Rose Farina of Rose Petal Creations. When I first saw a photo of this hat I was sure it had to be a sculpted prim because it was so round and perfect . Turns out its not its just a ton of regular prims! It must have taken her forever to get them all line up and I love how natural it looks.

I wanted just the right hair so I went with Lara from ETD and I think the front hanging down pieces and the long ponytail are just casual enough to match the hat perfectly. My skin is from the Deviant Nation line of Vogue skins and is called Drama Queen, in case you live under a rock or just don't read blogs. (Besides ours of course) This line of skins and also 70+ outfits are on a clearance before they are retired outside of Last Call. This is going on until June 6th so I would definitely go check it out.

What I’m wearing:

So, this outfit is from Sunday, but I finally got around to posting it now. I know Kaela already used the blouse from the Roslin Outfit from Savvy? in her fabulous outfits, but this is a really great blouse. We really don’t have any idea what the others are wearing until we see it posted. So, here’s my take on the blouse. I love the poofy sleeves and the peter pan collar. This top, along with the other pieces in the outfit, comes on many layers. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to wear the Highwaisted Pants from the Callista Outfit from Last Call, and I felt like this was it. I love the button closures on the back and the shading and texture of the fabric.

 

My shoes are the Vintage Pumps in Black from Shiny Things. These are probably my go-to heels. They’re perfect to me – not too high of a heel, feminine and matches with almost anything. I went with the classic red, black and white combination by wearing the Double Strand Tintable Bead Necklace from Kitty’s Rampage and the Obi Bracelet in Red from Curious Kitties. I love the pattern in this bracelet, and it really does remind me of an obi.

 

I wanted hair to balance how feminine the outfit looked, so I went with the Pullback III in Smoky from ETD. This hair is part of the Couture Collection which will be retextured and incorporated with the regular styles. My skin is the Vogue Skin in Cashmere (Spring – Fresh) from Celestial Studios.

For today’s outfit, I decided to start out with the blouse in the “Roslin” outfit from Savvy?. I love the poofy sleeves on this blouse and the detailing is amazing! This blouse not only looks great with the packaged outfit, but it looks great paired with just about anything! Since I couldn’t make a decision on a skirt or pants, I decided to do both! Keep in mind that the only things changed in these two outfits, are the bottoms and belts.

 

As I was searching through my inventory for a skirt, I came across this skirt from the “Empire Crinoline dress” in black from Pixeldolls. The shape and color were perfect for what I wanted….but since this is a skirt on a dress, I needed something for the waist. I found this ribbon belt in the “Dotty Dress” from Bossa Nova. This was a gift to the Bossa Nova group members.  I did have to mod this a bit to fit just right, but I liked the way it looked.

 

I chose my “Rigel” hair from Deviant Kitties, because I wanted to make sure that I could see my “Gothic Lolita necklace” from Red Ruin. I love the textures on this necklace and the cute little prim ribbon.

 

I put on these “classic black flats” from Indie Rainbow, because I wanted a more casual look and felt like heels would look too much like a 50’s outfit….btw, I got these on sale! ;) And chose my “honey/kiwi” skin from Lovey’s Boutique because I thought the green eyeshadow added just the right dab of color.

 

I decided that I wanted to see what pants would look like with this blouse. After searching through pants for a bit I found these “black stripe trousers” from Celestial Studios...The white stripes lighten up the look a little, not to mention goes with the white necklace.

 

I tried on so many belts for this outfit but they just didn’t look right.  My rl/sl partner looked over my shoulder and said “hey!, you haven’t put on that “Waistland Pirate belt” yet”, so I threw it on and loved the way it looked.  This belt is part of the “Waistland Pirate” from Nein! The belt has little flexi “strips” around the back, and I liked the two belt look on the front.

 

What I’m Wearing:

 

Shirt: Roslin, Savvy?,Southern Marvel (13, 211, 25)

Skirt: Empire Crinolin Dress, black, Pixel Dolls, Port Seraphine 56, 42, 27

Belt w/skirt: Dotty Dress, Bossa Nova, *group gift*, Dos Corazones (85, 125, 25)

Dakota’s Winning Outfit and Post 5-27-07

First of all I'd like to say a big thank-you to the Closet Crisis ladies and to everyone who attended the event. I had a fantastic time and definitely never expected to win. Well, this outfit is kind of inspired by waking up at 6am (slt 1pm) and swearing because I forgot to pick out an outfit. I'm in the Southern Hemisphere so we're coming into Winter and it's a little chilly in the early morning so this is very much the kind of outfit you throw together a little haphazardly to be warm and just hope you have the poise to pull it off.

I started with the top of the shirtdress in Moss from dirtChild. I'm a big fan of button detailing and I love the ones on this piece. My pants are also from dirtChild, these are AnimalLover Leopard. They come on pants and underpants layers (I'm wearing the undies) and the animal print instantly attracted me being a huge fan of rockabilly music and fashion. The undershirt is the Lace Blouse Top from Last Call's Desiree outfit and praise to Ginny for offering it on so many layers, I've chosen to wear it on the undershirt and pants layers.

My boots are Flic-Flac Boots - Polkadheart from boing fromage, I love basically everything elka creates and these boots are no exception. Around my neck is the Giraffe Choker from Electric Jane's, formerly Happy Junk and Anchors Charm Necklace in 14k Gold from Miam Miam. The tiny prims that make up the perfectly miniature giraffe just blow my mind and the anchor charm necklace... well anyone who knows me will know of my obsession with anchors and all things nautical. On my left wrist - Snake Charmer in Mud Belly from Gritty Kitty and on my right Calla Pearl Wrap Bracelet in Rust. Both these bracelets have the "I just woke up and shoved my hands in my jewelry box and hoped for the best" look that I was going for with this ensemble. The earrings are turnstyle Bashment Earrings > Square Hoops.

Hair is Med Curl from AVEDA/ETD, I am in love with the wispy fringe (bangs to those in the US). Skin is Harp Classical Tragedy from Fashionably Dead and the eyes are Honey Brown also from FD. I wear a lot of different skins - I'm addicted - I love the minimal make-up on this skin and the earthy tones around the eyes. And, although you can't see it, the body detail is gorgeous especially the stomach (which tends to be my pet peeve about some other brands of skin). My eyelashes are Bedroom Lashes from CAKE.

The background brushes can be found here: Micro Patterns PS Brushes by redheadstock and the border brushes here: divider brushes 2 by chokingonstatic.

5-27-07 Our First Event!

Well we all made it, our first event is over and we have a winner. I want to thank everyone that attended for being so patient with us. I know it was a bit chaotic but we were learning as we went. I think it was a blast and I know Violet and Jenn had a great time also. We loved seeing all of the different styles and hearing the different motivations/inspirations. Everyone looked amazing and it was so hard to narrow it down to 3 finalists. I know we will be doing this and other types of events in the future so keep an eye on the blog or join the Closet Crisis group for updates.

Our Winner was ……Dakota Buck!!! Congrats Dakota you looked great, she is working on her post and we should have it on the blog in a day or so. Until then here is a photo to tide you over. Dakota also wins the most dedicated award as she lives in Australia and had to get up at 6AM to attend. 

Our 2 runners up were Mellyn McCarey and Scarlett Niven, great job guys!

I wanted to show you the other amazing outfits so here they are with names.

And finally some general pictures of the event area. Thanks again everyone!!

So I was having sort of a bad day today and I needed lots and lots of color to cheer me up.

I started with the retro top in aqua from GLAM, she has some really great bright pastel things out now and I am loving this aqua shade the most. (even over pink yes I know crazy..) The top has some cut outs where the dark gray parts are but you know me miss modest *snicker* I had to add the Trixie tank in nightfall just to add that extra contrast. I have a feeling between Jenn and I we will find a way to wear every color and style of the Trixie tops. They make it super easy to layer and I <3 Starley for giving us so many options.

My skirt actually came because I saw Kaela wearing a group tag that said “lil cupcake girl” and I wanted one.  Turns out that’s the tag for the Devilish Cupcake group, since I think she has some great designs too I joined. When I join any group I always check the notices just in case they have given out anything fun lately. Lucky for me she had given out one of her new Izzy skirts in a pattern she calls brainy a little bit ago. For some reason I love this skirt with that aqua top. I love the flirty bottom on the skirt it just feels like something that would swish around.

I think this outfit is too summery for tights so instead I left my legs bare and put on the last call vamp-Dominique shoes in teal leopard. I think these shoes have the funnest pattern.  I also wanted some really fun different jewelry so I have quite a mix on today. I started with the Heirloom memories locket from Earthtones Boutique. I’ve already gushed over this but I’ll gush a little more. This is just so beautiful and I’m such a sap I like wearing a picture of Toneless and me. (yes I realize he sits right next to me on his computer in rl but I did say I was a sap)

I also put on my favorite pink earrings the pink plastic earrings from Shiny Things. On my left hand I’m wearing the Funk O Rama totally kicken fruity bangles and I like both sets of bangles I’m wearing today because they are very detailed and unique. On the right hand I’m wearing the wood bangles mixed from Keishii Roo of Zona Cero, he also does the Goth1c0 so you know they are well made.

I almost didn’t buy this hair, it’s sorta hard for me to adjust to new looks and the no bangs thing always takes me a while. But Vi said I had to buy it since I’m a blonde and I’m glad she did after wearing it a bit I just love it. I turned to the Spring Vernal Vogue skin because well I just love how it looks on me. Did I ever mention how much I like the knees on this skin? I know its a weird thing to pick out but I really like how real these ones look.

I realize I said I love everything in this post haha, and I do mean it. I think I’m just short on descriptive words today.

What I’m wearing:

Retro top (Aqua) from GLAM at Sunset Arts 145, 191, 24

5-24-07

This little springy outfit started with the Spring Crush Shorts from Punch Drunk. I love the robin egg blue color and the seam detail down the center of the legs.  I paired it with the Chill Sweater in Marshmallow from Lala and Celestial Studios. The details on this sweater are amazing. There’s ribbing at the cuffs and hem. I love the sheerness of it, too. It’s the perfect light sweater for spring. I can’t wait to see more things from Lala. Under it, I’m wearing the Trixie Cami in Rouge from Celestial Studios. I’m so happy that there are so many layering options with the Trixie Line. The lace detail on the cami is phenomenal.

 

I had a hard time finding shoes for this outfit. I wanted flats in a lighter color and a print (not so readily available in sl). Now I know that those are green stripes in the Picnic Cherry Flats from Old Gravy, but it looked so cute when I put on the Colorful Bead Necklace from Fashionably Dead. I love this necklace, but I don’t get to wear it too often because it’s on the jacket layer (which for me, is almost always taken by some other piece of clothing). The necklace tied everything together for me, and I was really happy that I could wear these shoes because I just love them. It’s a really fresh print and felt very spring-ish to me. I wanted a little something to balance out the dark red, so I went for the Kukka Cuff in Red from Shiny Things.

 

My hair is Naomi in Smoke from ETD. This is such a cute style. I love all the wispy little pieces. My skin is the Vogue Skin in Cashmere (Spring – Fresh) from Celestial Studios.

I

I was having a little bit of outift block this weekend (yes it does happen!!! Sometimes I just wanna curl up in sweats and flip flops) until someone mentioned the Jeanne outift from Last Call. As soon as I saw the gorgeous corset/jacket that comes with it I knew it had to be put into an outfit. I went with the blue because I knew it would match my very favorite Vogue DN (Babydoll) makeup. I am not sure why I love this vibrant blue eyeshadow so much but I try to sneak it into every outfit I can.

I wanted something to go under the jacket and then I remembered this O ringtop in blue from Sioxie Legend. I think this particular color might have been given to the fashion con group, but I own it in a few other colors as well. This just happens to almost exactly match the blue of the jacket and I really love how the buttons and broach add just a touch more detail to it. I really do try not to wear that many discontinued items on here because well it feels a bit mean . But I HAD to wear the skirt from the LE:Buckle Empire Dress Set from Pixeldolls. This is a couple (ok maybe 6 or 8) months old but I just love the satiny fabric on this skirt.

I wanted blue tights, but the Blaze tights I always wear don't come in blue :O can you believe it? I am really hoping the next pack (Please let there be a next pack I love them so much) comes with a blue pair. Until then I dyed my white pair this shade and I really like how it turned out. For shoes I had to wear the new denim strap wedges in black from ETD. I really love this wedge, probably because I can only wear flats in rl without breaking my ankles.

If you haven t been to Miriels lately you are missing out on some gorgeous freebies. I am wearing the Bounded Elegance Choker and on my left hand the double metal bracelet. I think this makes it official that we have all blogged the bracelets but that should tell you something… GO GET THEM NOW. I love the choker it is so intricate. On my right hand I have on my black beads from Kalico Kreations. My earrings are the Paillette Earrings in black from Paper Couture and I really like these. They come in like 5 or 6 colors and really match any type of outfit.My hair is called Brittany from Etd and I love this hair it is so fun and flirty.

I wanted to thank everyone for the great response to our first event. We are really excited,  I think it will be a blast!

Well, I’m finally posting this outfit which I had put together earlier in the week. Sorry that I haven’t been around much, I’ve been a little distracted lately because we got a new kitten to add to our furry little bunch. He’s so adorably cute! I just wanna squeeze him! Anyways, on to the outfit…..I started with the Messy Shorts in Midnight from Sand Shack Surf Co. I love all the seam details in these shorts and the texture of the fabric. There are a ton of other colors available, too. My top is the Indigo Couture Top from Culture Vulture. (I must say a huge thanks to Ori for introducing me to this fantastic store!) I love how rich the fabric looks and that the top seemed perfect to wear with the Simple Snakeskin Belt from Shiny Things.

 

My shoes are the Vintage Pumps in Black also from Shiny Things. I think my favorite thing about these shoes is that the lines of the shoes are very graceful. The mid-height heels are also very versatile. I’m wearing the Hematite Bangles Stack also from Culture Vulture. I love the different patterns on these. There are a bunch of different styles of bangles also at that store. (Yes, Hethr, more bangles.) My earrings are the Juliette Earrings in Multi/Gold from EARTHTONES Boutique. I left them on the default setting for the stone color. I love the little scalloped edges, and as usual, the prim work is amazing.

 

My hair is Chalisa II in Smoke from ETD. To me, this hair is casually elegant. I love how the bangs offset the pony. My skin is the Vogue Skin in Cashmere (Spring – Fresh) from Celestial Studios.

I found this “Triple Moon” necklace by Gnomenclature’s, Ilianexsi Sojourn, the other day on the forums…I loved the design and color so I went and bought one. Unfortunately I didn’t get a very good picture of it. It’s a full moon in the middle (blue iridescent texture on the stone) and 2 crescent moons on the side... just go check it out…the designer has a much better picture of it! :P  Anyway…this necklace is what started the whole outfit.

 

I chose the top of the “Rivoli” outfit from Last Call, because I like the corset part. I wish these came in more colors. Underneath I paired it with Celestial Studios new “Trixie” tanks…this one is in baby. I chose this color to match the stone in the necklace also, the black on the “collar” of the tank matches the black on the “corset”.  These come in tons of colors, layers and options, and are cheap enough to buy a few... even the willow pack.

I wore my “blue South 59 jeans” by Renegade, I liked the light fade on these jeans.

 

I’m wearing my “Seal with a kiss” ring from Canimal and the “Wildchild Cuffs” from Last Calls group gift in zebra. Then threw on my “lace up boots” from Shiny Things with the snow leopard print to match!

 

To complete the outfit, I put on my “Lovey’s Boutique” skin in honey/blueberry…had to have the blue eye shadow to match the necklace. And topped it off with “Beach II” hair in black pearl from Naughty Design.

 

What I’m Wearing:

 

Necklace: Triple Moon, Gnomenclature, Kishijoten 17,203,28

Bracelet: WildChild cuffs, Zebra, Last Call group gift.

Ring: Seal with a Kiss, Canimal Novelty Ring, Canimal, Canimal (210, 61, 26)

I think Jenn's hat obsession rubbed off on me. I knew I wanted to start the outift with the Dolores top in Aubergine from Bossa Nova because the color is just so gorgeous and it has puff sleeves. But then when I was in that folder I saw the hat and realized I had never even tried it on!! As soon as I put it on I knew it had to be part of the outfit. It is so freaking adorable! I love the little veil pieces and it fit my head really well without much trying. (I’m pretty bad with prims so this is always a good thing).

Right away I thought of paring this with the Roslin dress from Savvy? I’m a big sucker for little details and I love the shading on the skirt and the zipper the most about this dress.Both Bossa Nova and Savvy? do a great job and making vintage yet modern looking clothing and they are both very good at making outfits that have stand alone pieces as well. Which is of course an outift re mixers dream.

This of course also gave me a perfect excuse to wear my pink fishnet lulu socks from Celestial Studios. You know I can’t resist wearing at least one pink thing a day. My vintage pumps from Shiny Things also seemed like the perfect choice. I know these are one of her “older” styles but they are always a classic.

I just realized all my jewelry is from Earthtones… I swear I’m not addicted. Of course the Aurora Bloom bangles had to come out with their beautiful teal and purple accents. Then I chose the Cluster necklace and earrings because I liked the fact that when I turned them purple they look like a bunch of grapes. Well a pretty bunch of grapes.

I think the short bob from ETD for Aveda has really grown on me and I find myself reaching for it all the time now. It also works perfectly with the hat and doesn’t over power it at all. My makeup is Vogue (Plum-Smoky) and I added the Groupie lashes just to make my eyes stand out a little bit from behind the veil.

I have been getting very good feedback about having an event so keep an eye out in the next couple days with an announcement of a time, place and theme.

What I’m wearing:

Dolores top and hat (Aubergine) from Bossa Nova at Dos Corazones (85, 125, 25)

Roslin top and skirt from Savvy? at Southern Marvel (13, 211, 25)

I have to say I have succumbed to the big texture hair. It did take me a little while but after a few hours of wearing Goldie 2 from Allure by Sparkle Skye I got used to the sometimes odd alpha angles and just focused on how soft and touchable the hair looks. it doesn’t hurt that the bangs rock and that it comes with a beautiful color-changeable little hair flower option either.

I wanted some bold hair because I found this teeny tiny (well teeny tiny for me) kitty cat black mini at X3D. This has a great texture and I love the shading. To balance out the ultra sexy skirt I put on the top from the La Muse outfit from Last Call. I love love love this dress, mostly because of the big bow and the lovely lace accents. Under this I am wearing the top from the Coco lingerie from Launa Fauna just to add a little more lace. I just checked and it looks like she is no longer selling this lingerie sets, as it’s one of my favorites I really hope she is planning to revamp it.

The shrug I have on is from Maggie by Mischief, I completely forgot about this top until I found it hiding in my shirts folder. This comes with a few different layer options (with tank, tank alone, shrug alone) and is of course a great deal like everything at Mischief.

My necklace and earrings are the Queen of Hearts set from Lassitude and Ennui in black and moonstone. It is the perfect set for any wannabe princesses out there, or real princesses trying to keep their identity on the down low… (sorry I had a long day at work try to forgive my cheesiness tonight) Of course any black and white outfit screams for my Shades or Romance bangles from Earthtones. I don’t even need to gush over these I have done it so often in the past I’m sure you all own them by now. (Right?)

The white leather and pompom mules from Lassitude and Ennui are also a favorite of mine. I think pretty much of you put a poof on it I will love it. I’m also wearing my black tights from Blaze to help me feel a little more covered up.

Last but certainly not least is the Vogue red-smoky makeup from Celestial Studios. I don’t wear red makeup a lot but I love this one because it manages to stay bright without being too harsh.

*****In the next couple weeks we are going to start putting together some fashion events. I’m wondering if any of you would be interested in attending and also when would be a good time. I’m thinking Sunday afternoons would work best for us or maybe in the evening sometimes (this is all sl time I get confused when we have to figure out time zones) So let me know and I’ll try to figure something out that would work best for anyone. You can either IM me or send an email to closetcrisissl@gmail.com or leave a comment. Thanks!!!****

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a dual post. This time we’re changing it up a little and just doing the same theme. Violet and I put together prom outifts.

Violet’s Dress:

Last Friday was my boyfriend’s little sister’s prom, and we’ve been anxiously waiting for this day since I first moved here. So when she asked me to go dress shopping with her, and then do her and her friends make-up I fell into a gushy girlie fest of pretties. I had so much fun helping her shop and pick out stuff that I was inspired to put together a prom outfit for the blog. Then, I was so happy when Hethr asked me to do our first dual post together, because to me she is the goddess of all things pretty and girlie. It felt like I was being asked to prom…you’d think she would have at least gotten me a corsage. :P

 

The most important part, was of course, the dress. It literally took me two days to make a final decision. I was drawn to this red sparklie number from Last Call from the get-go. I’ll have to admit, I was a bit afraid at first of how the empire waist would look on my avie, but once it was on, my only concern was the length. Luckily hemming doesn’t exist in SL, and all I had to do was shrink it a bit. XD Power to the shorties! Anyhoo, this dress is just damn amazing and I love everything about it. I can’t even begin to pick it apart ‘cause I’ll blabber all day about it. It’s just a perfect red, has cute sparkles, and the textures are amazing. It’s just downright gorgeous.

 

Of course no outfit is complete to me unless I totally contradict the style and throw in something off the wall with it. I knew I had to give it a glamour-goth touch. I was originally going to use a fishnet shirt, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen one for sale. So I dug up this see through top from the Hot Wired set from Torrid. I was going to wear the entire shirt, which is on a jacket, gloves, and undershirt layer. But I felt that the jacket covered up the bodice and took away from the detailing. So, all I kept was the gloves and I think it adds a nice punk arm-warmer touch.

 

For the accessories I went to Goth1c0 because I had been eyeing the earrings and chokers for some time now. I knew they would look perfect with the dress. Of course they did, and damn me if I didn’t fawking forget to get close-up screenshots of them. Argh! They are awesome however.

 

For shoes it was a no-brainer since these cute heels have been released over at Shiny Things, and it’s obvious all of us CC girls are going gah-gah over them. Hair was a big issue for me. I never buy up-do styles. I’m a piggies kind of girl. So I tried on at least 5 different up-dos and just couldn’t commit to it. Imagine my delight when I came across this freebie hair at ETD, all colors for 1L baby ooooh yeaaah! And that concludes the one and probably only time you will ever see Vi somewhat sleek and elegant. Toodles!

Hethr’s Dress: 

When Vi brought up her prom idea I was very excited. I mean anytime I can mix my love of pink with my love of thinking of myself as a princess is a good time to me. Also it gives me an excuse to pull out the gowns I never get to wear.

My very first start was with the Starlet dress by Sparkle Skye of Allure. I pulled out this gorgeous fluffy pink boa and then the skirt. I know that some people hate the linden skirts but look at this one!! The folds and shading make it look very touchable and of course make me feel like a real starlet. (she also has a prim one available if you just HAVE to have it that way)

The top is from the Therese dress at Pixel Dolls, now I never wear ball gowns in sl. Ok maybe one time but when I saw this one I had to have it. I love everything about this top from the colors to the shading to the pattern. It was pure luck that the pinks are both my exact favorite shade of baby pink. You can’t see my shoes very well and I wish I had taken a close up shot of them. They are the ring mules (pink) from Luly Lulu and I found them at MaHoRoBa, she only has a few pairs of shoes but all of them are super adorable.

Jewelry was a little harder because I have a lot but most of it is pretty casual. I decided that the Juliette necklace and earring set from Earthtones was perfect. This set is so dainty and girly , also the gemstones change color but I like the clear stones the best with this outfit.  On my left arm I am wearing the glass squares bracelet from Shiny Things, I have worn this one alot and I just like how its simple but still elegant. On my right arm is probably my favorite dressy bracelet. The Lilyanne bangle from Cailyn Miller comes in a variety of colors and metals but of course I had to have pink and silver. She also has a very modest shine script in it so it just randomly sparkles a teeny bit.

My hair is one of the retextured releases from Celestial Studios called Delish and her new bleached texture is so shiny and perfect. I colored the headband and flower to Salmon and I think it came pretty close to the color in the bodice of my dress. My makeup is from the Vogue Spring Collection and is called Pure. The eyes were a little light for my taste (you know I love my eyeliner) so I am wearing the Classic 8 Lashes from Celestial Studios to fill them out.
