In A White Room

On Your Toes Blog: In A White Room

Booty shorts and thigh high boots, it is just that kind of day! Wearing a real mixture of pieces, some from the latest collection at Collabor88, others are hot new releases from some of my favorite designers. I like to challenge myself wear styles that I normally don't gravitate to; short hair, showing lots of skin, and a distinct lack of color. Sometimes it comes together to create a look that I really like, and that was the case when I made my attempt for today's blog post.

It has been far too long since Bax Coen has released something new and sexy, and these rigged mesh thigh highs are a perfect choice. Bax claims to have paid special attention to the rigging in the knee and ankle areas specifically, and you can see evidence of that. The boots come in a 'deformer' format, which gives them some adaptability to suit your specific shape. I like these a lot, and if you are in the market for some tall boots, these are worth a demo.

These super sexy booty shorts are part of a generous new release at One Bad Pixel (1bp), they are part of a set that includes a skimpy bikini, the sequined shorts have a great clubby feel to them and so I took them in that direction. More sparkle comes via the accessories from Maxi Gossamer, sleek short hair comes courtesy of Monso, and the real stunner is this halter top by Tee*fy, the open back reveals the most flattering view of your sexy skin, these are all found at Collabor88 along with the sweet faced Katya from Glam Affair.

Thoroughly Modern Vanilla

On Your Toes Blog: Thoroughly Modern Vanilla

It has been a great month for Collabor88, celebrating its 2nd Anniversary in style! The style of course, for anyone who has been following the event, is reminiscent of the 1920's, and of The Great Gatsby, and vintage creations in the Art Deco style. I am so crazy in love with everything offered in this enormous Birthday round, so many participants it is difficult to keep track. There are many gems among these new releases, and one does not have to get caught up in the vintage costume looks, you'll find plenty of modern in the mix too!

This tasteful vest and pants from ISON are crisp and modern, the pleated details on the pants, and the clean lines of the vest are irresistible. I chose the cream colored ensemble, and added hits of vivid wine to compliment the look. The accessories from Glow Studio were the inspiration for the color palette, I just love the long necklace and the faceted flower petals of the design. The T-strap shoes are another Slink add-on treat, this time from fri.day, again, that rich wine color ties the look together.

The hair, a recent release from Truth, frames the face sweetly and poofs outward to drape casually over the shoulders. The skin is Glam Affair's Cleo, a current favorite of mine, with great lipstick and detail options. More great new Flair nail appliers for the Slink enhanced hands, the finishing touch and essentially another great accessory for any outfit. I think the complete outfit is modern and fresh,  and as delicious as vanilla ice cream on a warm summer's day! (shopping details below.)
