From another era

I have spoken time and time again about my love for old movies and often times that love flows into my pictures and styling. As is the case with today's look. The bolero combined with this style of dress just makes me think of a ballroom scene in many old movies.

The bolero from Fallen Gods Inc. and Faida comes with a HUD so you can choose between a few different textures. I picked a the brocade texture because it just added that feeling of elegant opulence.

Floating into the new year

I am slowly drifting into the new year.

The new year is full of potential and I am hoping to embrace it all, hopefully more good than bad. I won't make any resolutions, I will just try to be the person I know I am inside. That is my goal for the new year.

Luckily for me I think the person I am inside is pretty darn awesome.

White Christmas

Yesterday I happened upon the old movie White Christmas, the dresses at the end reminded me slightly of the ones I had seem for sale at Dead Dollz. Of course I popped over and grabbed it because it was one of those moments of inspiration that come along.

Now if you have ever seen the movie you will know what I am talking about, however if you have never seen it just Google it and you will understand. I admit I have a love of old movies, there is just something about them. I think I have droned on about them before.

I just had to show you everything I was wearing and the pretty back of the dress so I made a little collage. Oh and I can't forget my partner in this post...the tree!

At the Midwinter Fair you can pick up the tree from Libertine which is decoratable, then you just hit up the gacha machine for baubles and toppers and candles and the like. It fit so well with the post given the older feel of the ornaments and candles. Aside from candles and ornaments there are rugs and a secret prize to be won! So if you want a tree that can be uniquely you go for it!

Miss Phire Teaches

Miss Phire is doing it in a dress...teaching that is. If you haven't been to Junbug to pick up one of the Do it in a Dress dresses you should. The money you spend goes to a good cause, because every child should be able to go to school. I decided to be a teacher instead of a student because it's been a long time time I was a student and I was a teacher for years before I had my own. Since the dress is a vintage style I went for an older looking setting.

Sometimes those little darlings can get out of hand though and you need to give them that hand on the hip look. I think I have mastered this one with my own children. It does not however seem to work on the kitten. That is not the point though, the point is go buy a pretty dress and help a child, this the season after all.
