Happy Thanksgiving to All!

This is one of the hairs I just finished making-- so of course I was gonna wear it today! I absolutely love it. Stop by and try the demo at Vignette.

This new release at Ingenue is all about retro fun. The sweater feels seductive and the pants are my favorite style (high waisted). The sweater may be worn both tucked or untucked for a whole different look. this outfit is affordable and well worth it.

I am completely stumped..is this 1940's, 50's or even early 60's? Well, shoot - unless someone gives me a better idea, I'll out it under retro.

Wow - I Made Hair!


Wow - I made hair!

This is what I've been up to for the last few weeks. Making hair. What does it take to make hair?

* textures
* how to build
* creativity
* patience
* omgosh - dyeing how many colors?
* photoshop

I would be tickled if you would stop by and try on the demos. This is a huge learning process for me.

Bettie Page had Style!




Thought I would take a few minutes out of my ETD sale shopping and show off this little 1940's Bettie Page look.

This bold red white and blue dress has some beautiful hand drawn details! Check out the small blue bow at the neck - it gives it such a sweet innocent look and the red buttons are a stand out! I must admit the slim fitted waist is flawless (I do have a fondness for system skirts). The colors are fun, bold and will make you stand out in a crowd! This dress is a keeper.

I did go with a Bettie Page hair (bangs which are trim and stand out).

Cherries and Chocolate

Absolutely luscious - like Cherries and Chocolate - Yum!

This 1950's style is one of Nef's new releases over at Ivaldes. If you haven't seen her latest - you need to.

These beautiful new pumps over at Shiny Things are just perfect with the brown Cosette - and look close at that sweet bow - It can be changed to 11 different colors!! I could have changed the bow to pink with just a click! Woohoo! These shoes have a great retro feel to them!

Hair - ETD's Vasha in Espresso, it feels shiny, silky, and soft. It even seems to have a highlight that works especially well with this dress.

As for skin, Gala has a Brownie skin that was the perfect fit! A nice neat manicure in brown and brown pearls (white tinted brown) and the outfit was complete!
