The geometry of pretty

Long time no post here, but hey, summer is a busy season for RL! I'm sort of back though (yeah, going away next week again :D) with a cute little look made mainly with items available at the Vintage Fair.
However, I added new Exile hair to the look (I missed my Exile fix while the creator was on vacation, so yay for new hair!) and a skin that I am in love with and is free, which means double love :)

Again, this is a look that I love. With so little time to blog lately, I have no other choice but to pick my favoritest items of my favoritest items :D. This little Geometry dress for Vintage Fair is beyond lovely! It comes in so many colors that it was hard to only choose one, so I finally went for green. I added the vintage shoes by Bliensen + Mai Tai and a jewelry set by Ben's Beauty, all of them available at Vintage Fair. The Di's Opera poses are also new releases for the event.

Styling:
Skin: Soha (Teinte SantaFe) HB by Inaya (group gift)
Eyes: -Vaele Coll://Guarana by The Plastik for Vintage Fair
Hair:  About Last Night:Sable by Exile

Happy Hippie

Hello everyone!! Now that the crazy at Vintage Fair has calmed down a bit, I have been able to go and grab a few pretties to show you. It is not often that I take the time to really put some thinking into my outfit and a setting for a nice picture, so I hope you appreciate the effort LOL!

First, there was the tunic. I saw it and went ooooh and aaaaah... I simply had to have it. Then I stumbled upon that new to me hairstore and this particular style and thought it would match perfectly. Then came the obvious pair of jeans, but something was missing... And I found the necklace... Less talking, more showing, and credits at the end.

Jumping on the Vintage bandwagon

This fall's Vintage Fair has been blogged a lot, all over the blogosphere, and even here, on Look What the Cat Brought. Now that the craziness of the first days has subsided, and the lag is managable, I've finally been able to take a tour there, and I found a few pretty things, including this adorable mesh dress from Couverture.

The cute hair style I'm wearing is neither new nor from the Fair, but it's part of the annual sale at Clawtooth, and 50% off (only 137l$ for a color pack). I think Bubbles Clawtooth's unique style is perfect to compliment any vintage look.

Not So Vintage, Vintage - Pt 1

This cute top/dress from DCNY comes with capri leggings, but I much prefer pants, personally. The pants I used are Izzie’s tweed pants in black. Shoes are from HOC Industries. All three items are available at the Vintage Fair or their respective mainstores.



This set is from Orquidea but they are separate purchases. Pretty sure I’m allergic to the color pink, but I was this close *holds up thumb and finger measurement* to getting the pink set. The top does come with a “rolled” bottom hem on the shirt but I opted out of using it. Shoes are another set from HOC Industries. Both available at the Vintage Fair or their mainstores.



And last pic for tonight includes this really cute top from Sassy. I paired it with a skirt I found at Art Decade. Sassy’s Poet Shirt can be found at the Fair or their mainstore.

I also want to note that these pics were all taken in a gorgeous skybox available from look.sharp. It’s on sale (for $40L!) at the FTLO Black Market which opened on the 7th but I don’t know how long these run.

Despite fighting lag or massive crowds, what’s the best thing about fairs in SL? Easy! I find/rediscover some love for stores I’ve either never heard of or I haven’t shopped at/kept up with for a variety of possible reasons. I tend to brave through most fairs, but not all as some simply aren’t my thing. Vintage isn’t really my thing, either. As much as I love ancient history/medieval, retro is totally different and really not my style unless we’re talking boho/neutral hippie like, that’s a different conversation. Anyway.. I went, I saw, I lagged, I crashed.. and I shopped like crazy. For not caring much for vintage, even I’ll have at least two fair threads coming your way. Next round has some dresses from the fair, some boots and more info on the shoes I used tonight. I’m going to go sleep now!

New cat on board. In style.

Look, the cat brought a new blogger! I hope you like my face, because you'll see me post here once in a while :)
And with only a few hours before the hottest event of the month opens, I have for you a sneak peek of Vintage Fair. There are about 200 designers with exclusive items, from steampunk to disco, going through the golden years of vintage, the 20s and the 60s. And many creators also prepared gifts for shoppers. Here's a mix of VF items for you:

This look was inspired by the Vanity Affair dress by Alexohol. While simple, the dress is elegant and comfortable and it's a perfect choice for a vintage lady who plans to go out for a coffee on a sunny afternoon. That lady would also choose this vintage tote by House of Fox and the Sway huge summer hat (and this one is a VF gift). Luckily, she is living in SL so high heels are not a problem for her feet. She would gladly wear the Plain Jane pumps by Cool Beans to complete the look.
Of course, a delicate piece of jewelry is a must for a posh vintage lady, and a pearl is a woman's best friend (no, I don't believe in that story about the diamonds). The Pearl Drop necklace by Caroline's Jewelry is just what she needed.
