…Until today. I wanted to blog something formal and there are few occasions more formal than a wedding! Here are two dresses from Miamai‘s Wedding Collection 2011. Emma has a bit of a silver undertone and is long and flowing, with a scattering of crystals rising from the skirt hem. The bodice is adorned with [...]

52 Weeks of Color: Sienna
by Gabby Panacek on 09. Jan, 2011 in 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, evening wear, fashion, look of the day
I just realized this is my 250th blog post! Not a huge milestone, but the fact that I’ve kept up with 250 of anything is pretty good for me. This dress is an oooooold Eshi Otawara design and one of the few things in my inventory that could be considered Sienna. Eshi is best known, [...]
Flowey: Just Add Mistletoe
by Gabby Panacek on 02. Dec, 2009 in evening wear, fashion, new release
StoRin‘s new Flowey dress, designed by Annah Whitfield, is the perfect ensemble for holiday parties. Not overly formal, yet not the least bit casual, the short, flirty skirt and draped-over-one-shoulder bodice is festive enough for any gathering. Because the design is so simple, while at the same time interesting, it needs only sparkly earrings, a [...]
I’m Like A Bird

Lile’s Impression is the soon-to-be-released gown from Phoenix Rising. Designed by Ashoka Eales, the simple black gown, which can be worn with or without the trailing skirt, is adorned with intricate and delicate peacock feathers. I’ve always been fascinated by peacocks, so I don’t think I can possibly tell you how excited I was to [...]
Chouchou et Chocolat

The first time I met my very dear friend CodeBastard Redgrave, she was wearing the most gorgeous dress covered in sparkling red paillettes. A gift, she said, from her friend Eshi. Like a fool, I only nodded and complimented it’s beauty, never asking more about the designer. A couple of weeks later, I received an [...]
Cure For The Blues

This past Sunday, I was feeling a little blue…Guy wasn’t online yet, Pyper was nowhere to be found, Tucor was busy building his Lunar Landing and my inventory was just sitting there glaring at me, begging to be organized in some way. So, what’s a girl to do? Why, go shopping, of course! I logged [...]

I See The Moon & The Moon Sees Me
by Gabby Panacek on 02. Aug, 2009 in commentary, couture, evening wear, fashion, just for fun, new release
I’ve recently become reacquainted with Moonshine. No, I haven’t taken to distilling my own liquor, but I have rediscovered my fondness for Shelly Toonie’s designs. I have an alt (shhh…don’t tell) whose inventory consists predominantly of Moonshine clothing, yet I have only a few pieces on my main account. So, I was delighted when Shelly, [...]
