With Envy

Collabor88 is back, and I am loving the theme of this edition, lots of metallic shine and sparkle; greens, golds, neutrals and a sideways peek at the trends that are hitting us along with the new year. I was most excited by all the green, not usually one of my favorites, but it seemed so fresh and bright and definitely worth some attention. I mixed up my look with a few pieces from Collabor88, and faMESHed, and some great new boots from Slink.

 

For all the details from H to T... read on!

 

Risqué Business

Ris`que´ (rės`kã´)

 

 

a. masc.

1.

Hazardous; risky; esp., fig., verging upon impropriety; dangerously close to, or suggestive of, what is indecent or of doubtful morality; as, a risqué story.

A bare shoulder, a hint of stocking, a dangerously deep open neckline, not the most daring of fashion statements unless they make an appearance at one of the places you wouldn't expect to see them, the workplace. I decided to play 'take your avy to work' day and file a report on some looks that border on the risqué, making Monday mornings at the office something to look forward to.

 

Inspired by the Nyu Debut Peplum skirt, I put together a proper look complete with stockings and stylish but practical heels, Pow Pumps from LeLutka, and then added the unexpected Cowl Bodysuit by Epoque. The Pantone Satchel, the perfect size to hold important papers, also from Epoque and the flowery Vera accessories from Donna Flora, add polish to this monochromatic outfit. Hair tossed up in a tidy knot complete with loose pieces the frame the face and  back of the neck add the final dimension to this 'mix business with pleasure' makeover.

 

Finding a way to make covered up professional wear sexy is a snap with this ISON Shift Blazer Dress, it has beautiful clean edges and nice details like the double rows of buttons and flat pocket flaps. A feminine silk blouse like this classic one from Shai, gives the impression of softly billowing sleeves and a bow tied neckline. I carried the tone of the blouse into the over the knee Jazz boots from Maitreya, in nude, and then filled in the space between with a tease of thigh high lace topped stockings from Blowpop, still one of the sexiest collections of well made hosiery you can find.

 

Next I went for the more obvious approach, a sexy suit, this one from Paper Couture Fall 2008, is an effective argument for well made non-mesh clothing, the hand painted subtle pattern in the rich grape color, even the use of a system skirt for shape, sans shirt, becomes daring. By adding the corset style Traveler Belt by Ingenue, and some soft suede boots the look is elevated. Flashes of gold jewelry, like the Aviary Claw Bracelet from ISON, and an 'Entangled' collection of pieces from talented (and fellow OYT Blogger) Caelyn Hancroft, her line of Cae accessories will be available soon, complete this outfit.

I'd love to stay and tell you more about my office antics, but I have an important meeting (see shopping trip) to get to. See you around the water cooler!

Girls in White Dresses

Be it sweet, sassy or sexy, the perfection of a white dress is not lost on me. Without being bridal, the gentle white on white textures and interesting shapes allow you and your accessories to shine even brighter. I am featuring three very different white rigged mesh dresses, personalities as different and unique as the girls who wear them... luckily I got to play all three of those girls. Hooray for wearing white!

 

The first style comes to us a collaboration between NyuNyu Kimono, Nyu and Maylee Oh of The Secret Store, a sweet as pie babydoll dress with soft floral tone on tone print and long slightly belled sleeves. The sweetness and innocence of the dress inspired me to hop into a subtle Lolita look, knee socks from Maitreya and T-Strap shoes from G Field, and a sweet bunny ear headband from Y&R add to the appeal of this pretty little dress.

 

Next up, the Adele dress from Donna Flora, the dimensional tucking across the bustline and ruffled hem make this one pretty irresistible, an elegant oversized flower printed directly onto the dress make this much more than just a white dress. Simple white pearl accessories fit perfectly with this style, I love the generous pearl cuff from U&R Dogs and the simple necklace from Miam Miam (yes, Pearlie Pedro has listed some of her treats on Marketplace for 10L each, you might want to grab the whole bunch!). Shoes that have a little something extra special, the reflective magic of mirrored soles, these from Kitties Lair have been updated recently, they now have a HUD and alpha layer, and are a nice balance between sexy and stylish in white patent leather.

 

Deadly curves, deadly sweet that is, in the white version of BOOM's Hye Tube Dress. Interesting details like the rouching and floral printed centre panel with piped seams elevate the dress to simply eye catching, even in the absence of color. Elegant accessories like the Aliena set by Donna Flora and the petit fours bag from Paper Couture add sparkle and sweetness, the shoes are Breezie Stilettos from Nardcotix, the bow on the back of the heel is a great touch.
