LOTD: Winter Song

Gabby Panacek — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:54:00 +0000

Despite the fact that outside of SL, snow and heels are mutually exclusive, the new Legwarmers + Heels from Anexx put me in the mood to play in the snow.
Listening to: Winter Song

The comfy legwarmers come in two styles per color, a solid-color cable knit and a nordic-print knit. The sculpted shoe is very well-made with a slim heel and rounded toe. With the shoes, designer machang Pichot has also included knit tights in a variety of colors that can be worn with or without the shoes.

The skin I’m wearing is the latest from GeEs Designs and is called Scandinavia. The ivory skin tone and cold-flushed cheeks are perfect for winter weather. I chose Roskilde for its pinkish eye shadow and lips, but there are a total of 10 makeup styles to choose from, each with options for gloss, pubic hair and cleavage.

For more details, keep reading after the cut. (...)

The Three C’s

Gabby Panacek — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 01:42:17 +0000

We all know a diamond’s value is measured by the 4 C’s, but my wardrobe is dominated by only 3. I am all about clothes that are Cool, Casual and Comfy.

Yesterday morning, I logged in to find MichaMi‘s latest release, The Noomi Jackets and Mini-Dresses, and spent much of the day running around the grid accessorizing, mixing and matching, and changing color combinations at every turn. In the end, I chose to pair the jacket with one of my favorite pieces from Last Call, a great pair of jeans and some flats from Jori Watler’s new store, Pretties by JB. Then I added some crazy hair from Amrita (which I am in love with, by the way) and a skin from Tokeo Platik, a store suggested to me by Paypabak Writer. Now I feel completely relaxed and as though I could move easily from an afternoon at the park to drinks with the girls after a day of shopping.

I’ve got more Noomi to show you very soon. The color combinations of the dresses are perfect for spring and the jacket is so versatile, I haven’t finished putting together all of the looks I want to share!

Right now, though, I have to let you see more of these fantastic flats! On the top row are a few of the Riva Uniques: Golden Brocade, Coco Beach, Pink Dolly, and Groovy Swirls. Below them are the OoLaLa’s in Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire and Topaz. (click the photo to view the larger size for more detail)

And don’t forget to pick up the Riva Originals, ballet flats in soft, solid colors, some bracelets and a few handbags while you’re there. Jori’s in the process of designing a new line of shoes for the spring and summer and has plans to release a line of prim lashes and other customizable items.

Paisley Park

Gabby Panacek — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 04:52:18 +0000

When I saw the names given to the different color variations of caLLie cLine‘s latest dress, I expected to find her signature palette of fun, bright tones. With names like sUmmeR’s sUnsHiNe, haRpeRs biZZaRe, gRaciana’s gOOdieS, gOgO giRL, baBy’s boDaciOuSneSS, and caLLie’s crazy paisley party dress, you can imagine my surprise when I realized the shades of blue, steel, copper, grape and black and white were muted, delicate and the perfect tones for showing off the classic paisley print.

The paisly party dress by caLLie cLine with its bell skirt, strapless bodice, plunging back and wide belt can be dressed up or down. And because the colors are so soft and almost neutral, the dress creates a stunning backdrop on which to show off a spectacular piece of jewelry or other stand-out accessory. Zaara‘s Malachite Necklace, with matching earrings, is just such a piece. The large green stones accented with black and silver beg to be worn with an outfit that will compliment, not compete with, their eye-catching presence. I added a couple of large rings with black stones, Redgrave’s Big Sapphire and Paper Couture’s Times Square, and my go-to manicure, Super Nova by Nevermore.

As usual, Callie gives you tons of options with this dress and includes all of the accessories you need to wear it right out of the store, including puffed, off the shoulder arm cuffs with lace trim, and a complete set of black diamond jewelry – ring, bracelet and earrings. I chose baBy’s boDaciOuSneSS for this photo, but I’ll admit that the grape hue of sUmmeR’s sUnsHiNe is probably my favorite. But you should try them all, mix and match them with your favorite accessories and create a look that is uniquely you. Have Fun!
