Fashion Liability!

Miko Omegamu, the designer of Icing, has recently returned to SL® after a summer-long hiatus, and she’s jumped right back into creating and designing vintage-inspired outfits and dresses for those who love to look a little bit retro.

With Halloween fast approaching, Icing has released two outfits based on classic symbols of the 20’s: the cigarette girl (left) and the camera girl (right).  These girls would walk around the nightclubs and ask patrons if they wanted cigars, cigarettes or their photos taken.  (Where’s the cocktail waitress, Miko? )  These outfits come with amazing accessories for authenticity, like the cigarette tray and camera, not to mention lovely hats to complete the ensemble.

In the centre is previously-released Ship Shape, a nautical bikini, with a coverup miniskirt and sailor hat.  I know it’s not exactly seasonal in the Northern Hemisphere, but there are still some warm days where I live on the West Coast, and no doubt it’s warming up in Australia as they head into summer.

This has to be one of my very favourite released anywhere lately.  I don’t wear formal wear often, but when I do, I want it to be spectacular.  And Joli Bouquet definitely delivers.  The rose corsage on the hip is a beautiful touch, and it works very well with a recent Truth hair release, aptly named Rose.

The dress comes with two skirt options, one being a train!  It’s incredibly beautiful, and makes one feel beautiful wearing it, even if you’re wearing it when you’re, oh, I dunno, cleaning your oven?  Yes, even if you have nowhere to go, you can still wear it!

Marilyn Monroe is iconic, even today, and I don’t think there’s a person alive who doesn’t remember that picture.  Miko has recreated that dress in four colours, the above being white, and it comes complete with a grate  and a gesture for the skirt to blow up!

Goodnight Kiss, on the right, is a sweet simple dress with flutter sleeves and an above-knee-length skirt.  Included with it is a single rose accessory for your hair, which sets it off nicely.

Miko is a bit of a throwback to the past in both her style and her prices.  While most of her peers are pricing outfits and costumes above her very reasonable average price of L$300 (most below, some slightly above), she stands fast, which makes me happy in the pants!  I am but a poor blogger, after all.

Teleport to Icing!
