OK, after sitting there on my butt for a few days with my leg up certainly gave me some time to think. And I decided to make even more changes in my blogging life. Even when you love to blog (as I do), it can easily slip into a routine that both dulls creativity and takes away the fun. Designers obviously establish a style for their brand, but sometimes when you blog the same brand for too long, it just becomes “more of the same”… which isn’t fair to them, and is hard on the blogger too. Realizing this, I’ve been making changes here and there for weeks. I’ve done it before; I’ve realized I need to do even more. I’ve therefore left two of my oldest sponsors; I’ve added some new ones. More juggling may/may not occur because my goal is simple… to refresh my blog, my commitment, my commitment when I open boxes and see new designs. I jumped at the chance to blog for Giulia Design… I’ve been blogging them through events for quite a while because their designs are wonderfully varied and awesomely styled, with that special Italian fashion sense, that little something that just can’t be taught. Now I have the opportunity to sport ALL their new releases, not just those selected for events. I’d be dancing if I could, but I’m still flat on my butt with my leg up for hours a day. I won’t let it keep me down though, not with styles this good!!!
- Outfit: GiuliaDesign – NEW! KETY. Maybe it’s because I’m from that generation, but I LOVE fringe! Something about it just makes me happy. I will admit, though, that fringe doesn’t always work well in SL… if it’s not done “right”, it hangs too stiffly & just looks “off.” This outfit does it perfectly. The fringe looks & hangs very realistically (not too much, not too little) from the slightly loose, flowy little crop top with cutaway arms (they’re connected along the bottom of the arm, which looks totally amazing when you move). The jeans are big comfy bell-bottoms, for a retro look that is still totally “today.” Comes in 10 colors for the top, 7 for the jeans. Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya. Demo available.
