A day in the life of the Dairy Queen

The Dairy Queen leads as busy life as sadly there is no Dairy King in her kingdom so all the work falls upon her capable shoulders. She starts each day, weather allowing of course, with a stroll through her garden.

Next up in her busy day is walking through the halls of the palace making sure everything is polished and looking like a million bucks. She also plays coy with the her favorite knight. Hey even a Queen has needs.

Throughout the day she meets with her loyal subjects, which she treats with kindness, doing all she can to make their lives better.

Sometimes she sits upon her throne as she meets with visiting dignitaries, basking in the light from the windows above.

She ends her days staring out over the sea letting the waves wash away her woes before she retires to her chamber for the night.

Summer Romance

The title today is the actually name of the dress, and it seems so fitting.

I actually bought the dress after seeing it featured on XStreet for a couple of weeks. I decided to kinda go with a summer romance type of theme for this look by pairing it with this gorgeous locket from KessKreations.

It seemed to give the look a classic sort of sweet innocence. As words seem to be failing me today I am just going to leave you with the credits.

Phire's Alice in Wonderland

I figure if Tim Burton can have one I can too. In my Wonderland the Flowers would be huge and vibrantly colored.

I tried to keep with the blond haired, blue and white wearing Alice, but I of course had to add my own spin.

She looks a little sexier I think but still having some youthful femininity to her.

Alice is the last of my Wonderland characters with a twist of Phire. Hmmm that sounds like a good cocktail, maybe I should hit the local liquor store and start mixing....

Olympia

Unless you have been living under a rock this weekend, then you know that there is a new event going on called Etheria- When jewelers dream. There are gorgeous dresses made to compliment stunning jewelry.



Well this necklace in NOT the collaboration necklace, this necklace is actually a new release. It is currently only available at Etheria. One of the thing I adore about this necklace and bunches of other pieces from KessKreations are the options. Now I didn't take pictures of all the combinations because if I did I would take up the entire feed. You get three choices of color for the petals, seven pearl choices, and three choices for the chains. While I may not have taken a picture of it, my favorite color for the pearls is turquoise. In the photo however I have gold pearls with zirconium petals and accents.

I could live in this shanty

Because it is cute and has yellow and is not a run down house. I stumbled across this dress last week when I was checking out the summer sale at Second Style Island. The great thing about this dress it that the skirt comes in two version, sculpty and flexi.

If it isn't completely obvious to you yet I chose to wear the sculpty version. Aside from the yellow in it (my favorite color) I really like the top part of the dress, it just seems like it would hold up and display the ladies so nicely. I mean really who doesn't wanna show off their rack?

I swear despite my frown the dress really does make me happy.

La la la

Sometimes I like to do something different, it's easier to do when I have something to inspire me. This time the inspiration came from two sources, the piano bar scene at Dream Scenes and this back and white skin from Mango,Mango!. I wanted to create the look of an old jazz singer in a club (I may have watched Miss Petigrew lives for a day too many times).

I chose red for the clothing and accessories to go with the red lips of the skin, and because it just pops against the black and white. I hope this post made some sort of sense to you since it was written in a cold medicine induced haze.

I have a pretty hair do-dad

 

I have had this dress sitting in the infamous "to blog" folder for sometime now. It was waiting for just the right accessory to compliment it. I finally found just the right pretty while at Ruru@Pino for the Bunny Hop hunt. Of course I bought it while and put it away in the folder it belonged in. That was a serious mistake. It seems in my attempt to be organized I completely forgot which accessory folder I filed it under. Was it with the flowers or was it with the hairbows/barrettes? Well after searching for it, and missing it several times it was found. Yay! I was finally able to get dressed up. I kept everything else simple so that the dress and hair accessory could be the focus.

 

I did learn something while taking these pictures, finding poses with work with prim nails is NOT easy!In the end I think I look ready for a night out....now to find myself a date.

Secretary for the day

This look came about simply because I wanted to wear a system skirt and a monocle. Yes I know not my typical choices, but every once in a while I like to shake things up a bit.

I decided to go for a polished retro look which works well this system skirts in general. I think I ended up looking like a secretary who is too smart for the job she is stuck with. Which reminds me of my mom and how things were when she was just getting out of college, she graduated with a degree in Biology and the only jobs she could get in a lab was scrubbing test tubes. She passed on that and went into banking…go figure.

I even remembered to wear accessories this time around. I have an embaressingly large jewelry folder for someone who never remembers to wear it. I decided to go witht he earings the match the monocle and then the locket because well it looked good to me. I also have a ring on, but bad blogger I am I didn't get a good picture of it.
