Native Spring.

Creator Aikea Rieko of The Plastik is debuting some beautiful strapless dresses for Spring, framing an hourglass figure with her trademark detailed prints and naughty corset-like ribbons, wrapped around the torso for a li'l extra feminine waist-cinching.
Aikea is more typically known for her combination of rich, dark palettes and fantasy touches; however as this image shows, Aikea proves just as agile at whipping up fresh, vibrant colors that are perfect for Springtime glam. I thought this dress worked so nicely with this new side braided, double-cord headband "Elyse" style by Truth; some triple-tone feathers earrings, a wrapped leather-corded gem necklace + some pastel-toned colorblocked bangles completed this new Native look.
Native Spring love + fashionista kisses to all!

Smelly Detour.

When finding oneself lost in the sewer pipes, it helps to have goggles (for mysterious wet things that might spray you), boots (for stepping in mysterious wet things) + a popsicle (to distract from the smell). Also, a  feisty elephant guide ('specially one with a perky bowtie) are the best guides for helping find your way out of the drains.
Hmmm. It's possible that I got a dud.
Many thanks to creator Blake Rage for allowing me to shoot in his deliciously detailed, rusted-out build for his Avoid store. Smelly detour love + fashionista kisses to all!

Orange Ya Glad . . . It's Fashion for Life!

If you happened to hear event organizer, blogger + inworld group leader Harper Beresford last week on the radio, you would have heard her explain why she volunteers to organize the Fashion for Life cancer charity event every year: because without advances in medicine, all of which require money, people diagnosed with cancer today simply wouldn't have the same chance as they did even several years ago. As the official event blog reminds us, cancer touches all of our lives; it also happens to be a cause that lies particularly close to my own heart.
One of my favorite designers, Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora, could not participate this year due to being ill herself; I'm choosing to wear her jewelry here in this post, and (as I'm sure she would do, too) I'm encouraging everyone -- even if they don't want to shop -- to visit Fashion for Life and donate something (even if it's just a few $L). Harper has painstakingly organized 1 of the most respected events on the grid, and you have more than a week to visit the 9 spectacular builds (all themed around totally different concepts, from a retro '50s-like "diner" build to my favorite, an Art Deco-styled open area with a giant moon looming in the background).

Hopefully you will never know the fear + devastation that cancer can wreak onto a human life, but if you do, with everyone's continued support for continued research and new breakthroughs, maybe it won't have to feel like a death sentence, after all.

Compassionate shopping love + fashionista kisses to all!
