Why Don't We Fall In Love...

"So many things I'm going through
So much that I wanna do
It's starting to become so clear to me
Tomorrow ain't really guaranteed
So many days I thought of you
It's about time you knew the truth
Gotta act quickly you and I
And fall in love so many reasons why
So why don't we...
Why don't we fall in love?
It's so many reasons
But it's the only thing that matters to me..."

                                 

For as long as I can remember, I've been madly in love with FASHION. The idea of dressing and adorning my body with garments and accessories that express my mood and attitude is very important to me. I've used the blog on many occasions to show off the work of top SL designers, but today I wanted to highlight one of my longtime favorite RL fashion houses: GUCCI. Classically sexy and sophisticated, Gucci is a label that has stood the test of time, while always producing exciting and edgy fashion for women that aren't afraid to be noticed. Bold use of color and gold finishes is seen all throughout their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The work is polished and refined, but with a definite sex appeal and wearability. One of the best things about Second Life is that we can adopt RL style within the confines of our grid, and I've selected 3 designers whose latest offerings are perfect adaptations of Gucci chic CERTAIN to make you fall in love...

No Ordinary Love...

"I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last?
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby...
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like
You and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love..."

Poison...

"If I were you
I'd take PRECAUTION...
Before I step to meet a fly girl
Cause in some portions...
You'll think she's the best thing in the world
She's so fly...
She'll drive you right out of your mind
Steal your heart
When you're blind
Beware: She's schemin'
She'll make you think you're dreamin'
You'll fall in love
And you'll be screamin' DEMON..."

Fix You...

"When you try your best
But you don't succeed,
When you get what you want
But not what you need,
When you feel so tired
But you just can't sleep,
Stuck in reverse...
And high up above
Or down below,
When you're too in love
To just let it go,
If you never try
You'll never know,
Just what you're worth...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try...to fix you..."

"Fix You" by Coldplay

I always love shopping for new things, but there's something that feels so damn good about the CLASSIC PIECES in my wardrobe. Some items bring back memories; some make me feel warm and fuzzy; some just feel like HOME. I wore this PASHMINA SHAWL from ZAARA on my first date with my husband Tairo. It always transports me back to the time when he and I were first falling in love. Over two years old, and it's still texturely beautiful and relevant. The bag is VINTAGE and was a gift from my dear friend Alexand Vantelli. One of the most talented and stylish individuals I've ever had the pleasure of knowing; Alex is a POWERHOUSE that I'm hoping will join me for a blog post in the near future. The ring is from LaGyo and over time has become one of my signature pieces. I wear it in both gold and silver every chance I get because it reminds me of a real-life ring my late Grandmother passed down to me before she died. Last year I had a break-in and the ring was stolen, but every time I glance at this pixel version I'm reminded of her spirit and how ELEGANT AND TIMELESS she was. Lastly, the umbrella is super-old from Trilogy. It's so well made and is built with poses and animations that I just adore. My MOM collects umbrellas in rl and I have so many memories of my sister and I twirling them when we were little...

Underground...

"Underground, underground
Everything's heavy underground
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
And we'll be decked
In all black...
It's industrial
Work it underground
Get down, get down, get down..."

"Underground" by Ben Folds Five

Inex Hax of Fume' is quickly becoming one of my favorite new designers. My first piece from her was a killer snakeskin mini-dress with perfectly structured shoulders and an amazing texture. I paired it with one of my go-to blazers and draped on tons of chunky gold jewelry. Even with the sexy short hemline, I felt polished. Finished. Classy. And I think that's what she does best: she designs pieces that at first glance exude sex appeal, but fit effortlessly into a wardrobe belonging to a conservative woman. Inex is making staple pieces; mini-dresses and skirts, leggings, etc. And now with this jumpsuit, (which happens to be her ready to wear offering for CFC and also includes a dress version), she is solidifying herself as being a designer to WATCH...if you're into BEING watched that is...
