Iota Ultsch of Tres Jolie Haute Couture has released her Chrome gown and it is a work of art created in honor of a dear first life friend of the designer. Iota shared with me the touching story of her friend, who is battling breast cancer. The metallic texture of the dress represents the strength [...]

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!
That is what I started singing, literally, when I logged in today and found that Tesla Miles had left a little gift for me. Well, not a little gift by any means, but all ten pairs of her brand new Marie Heels. Few things make me happier than new shoes, and new shoes from Tesla…that [...]
I’m a Fashion Assassin
A few weeks ago, Iota Ultsch sent a very special gift to her Tres Jolie group members with the following message: “Are you a fashion victim or a fashion assassin? Get Dressed to Kill in Tres Jolie!” Now, I will freely admit to being a little out of touch the last few weeks, but to [...]
Blame It On The Rain
I love the rain. I love listening to thunderstorms and curling up with a good book while raindrops beat against the window. And I love the way the air smells just after a soft, spring shower. It’s no surprise then, that I also love umbrellas and rainboots. Think back to when you were a child [...]
Moonlight Serenade
In case you couldn’t tell by my last post regarding Chambre du Chocolat, I am quite the fan of Eshi Otawara’s designs. Having had the opportunity to spend some time with her lately, watching her transform a barren sim into a work of art (check back for my upcoming post on the opening of said [...]
My Sweetly Dark Side
One of the things I love most about SL is being able to change my look any old time I want to. And lately, it seems I’ve been more interested in “darker” styles. That would explain why I didn’t hesitate to pick up this Ghost Princess outfit from !* REBEL-X-*! (though, honestly, given my love [...]
Style Flip: Cyber Punk
Sofia Gray mentioned, on her blog, a new store called .:: MekaNoiZe Labs ::. . This futuristic build carries a very limited selection, at present, of well-made clothing.Their design aesthetic is decidedly CyberGoth/CyberPunk, and is a complete departure from my usual style. But, lately, I’ve been itching to mix it up a little bit, and [...]
My Personal Trainers
Call them what you will…trainers, sneakers, tennies, running shoes…I love them! And I’m especially a fan of good old Converse All Stars. (You just can’t beat a great pair of Chuck Taylors!) So, when I saw these sneakers on Sofia’s blog, I immediately jumped on Pyper with a torrent of ZOMG’s and Squeee’s. I knew [...]
An Armidi Vacation
I have to admit a little secret…I’ve not always been a big fan of Armidi. I know, I know, I’ve probably just ruined any credibility I might have had with that little confession, but, alas, it is true. However, that has changed dramatically over the last few months. I have really been impressed with their [...]

Oh My MichaMi!
by Gabby Panacek on 11. Jul, 2008 in commentary, fashion, review
I’m currently working on an SLNN article about blogger-turned-designer, Milla Michinaga. Her wildly popular blog, MichaMi, is probably responsible for my addiction to SL Fashion, and it was through her blog that I discovered many of my favorite designers (yes, Milla is to blame for my Digit Darkes addiction). So when I heard that she [...]
