With you...

With you..., originally uploaded by Pheobe Petrov.

We all have our favorite places in SL. Those places where we tend to spend hours, and they start to feel like home to us. This picture was taken at my favorite place in Second Life. I spend 98% of my time (when I'm not shopping!) here. The first 6 months in SL I spent most of my time wandering around. I'd change clothes where ever I could find a private spot. I even rented a few places along the way, but I must say, being here, with you, it feels like home.

Casual Friday

Casual Friday, originally uploaded by Pheobe Petrov.

It's finally friday! And today's look is something casual. I've had these fabulous shorts from D!FF for a while, but never worn them. I thought I'd create an outfit around them since D!FF is closing soon, and all their items will be gone forever. Plus, they are having a fabulous sale, and you know how i love sales! Head over and visit them today before it's too late.

So, people help me. Give me a good place to take my friend to meet a man tonight, before she seriously KILLS me!

Luna said only one of these is true. I don't know if that's an insult or not...but we all know that really AM the cute one, right?

Boardroom Broad

My RL has been filled with board meetings this past week. Daydreaming during the financials (I know that's bad) but I thought about this "Boardroom Broad" look. If I was to attend board meetings in SL, what would I wear?
This look is not too far off from my RL suits ... just minus the red and the fishnets. Kinda laughable is that I have a huge red totebag for my laptop!
Red can be a such a "in your face" statement for any meeting. The color denotes overing powering and strength, but not in a good way. Touches here and there are ok just not full head to toe. Basic black as the highlighted color with just slight hint of red and sexay fishnets give a hint of feminity and flirtyness ... both qualities never seen nor should be seen in board meetings. This is SL after all ... and generally anything goes!

Spring Casual

March can be a crazy weather month, snow and sleet to sunny and warm. To help kick the wintery blues, I've paired cute platforms with basic jeans and a flouncy shirt. I found this shirt in my travels to find spring-like sims. The shirt designer, EMA, who I think is Japanese, which lately these designers have really caught my eye for one reason or another. For the hair, I really prolonged purchasing since it seems like its owned by everyone. I so love it regardless and it was painful not having it in my arsnel of wigs. Today I broke down and ran over to Cake.
Let's chat about this outfit's accessories. Each has an added bonus! The sunglasses are from *booN, which I think is another Japanese designer. They can be worn on the face, chest, and on the hip (shown) *and* the frame color can be changed. Another cute find was at ETD. A recently released bag and is packed with an AO from TorridWear with adorable bag hold poses. Ok ok, enough of my ramblings, here's the details:

Fashion Meets Mob Justice

We all know that behind each avatar is a real live person (got that) and each of us are playing out or into our own fantasies in some sorta way. I was reading CNN.com and stumbled upon their SL CNN blog. Interesting enough there was a post that stated: "The majority of people that join Second Life like to make the most of their appearance. They may be ‘sweatshirt and jeans’ people in real life ..",
I started thinking how my RL fashion sense drives my SL fashion tastes. The clothes I wear in RL are pretty standard name brand stuff (sorry no cheesey name dropping). In RL, I too drool over some of the higher end name brands like most others ... and even own bags, shoes or apparel from these yummy designers.
The thing for me in SL is that I can easily pickup the latest trends at the "brand name" stores ... we all know the stores with awful lag and potential mayhem when new releases are finally for sale.
Lately I have seen and heard stories of SL designers taking inspiration or even making exact replicas of RL fashion. This is what makes SL that fantasy escapism that we all enjoy!
I've heard of designers getting heat for introducing RL product in SL. Yet, I see blog posts about other designers doing that very thing ... and yet no mobs have gathered outside their stores with pitchforks and torches calling for their demise. Interesting.
Surely I will be attacked for this post ... and so be it!! Its how I'm perceiving the SL fashion world and the so-called "fashionistas". By-the-way, I don't call myself a fashionista ... I'm just a chick prostrate to the SL fashion gods with her lindens in hand!
