Get Ready with Me by Beatrice VanDerVoort


Welcome to my new fashion series "Get Ready with Me".  This is where I invade my inventory and put together unique looks inspired by the great fashion in Second Life.

I've had sponsors for my series, in fact I've had some of the best designers who allowed me to blog their clothes.  To all of those designers - you are amazing and it was an honor to blog for you.

However, I suck at deadlines.  Big time.  I have RL, friends, work and all that other craziness and sometimes I just don't want to push out another photo.  Sometimes I felt I wasn't giving it my 100%.  And that's just not right if someone is giving something to you for free.

So after taking a break for the summer, I opted to restart my flickr page and this time I would blog what inspires me.  Sometimes it's new stuff by designers that I've found and sometimes it's a hidden gem buried within my inventory.  But one thing I can tell you - about 90% of what I blog I paid to own.  (or found as a free gift somewhere).  I'd like to think that if I was willing to spend money on something in SL and photograph it, it must be something pretty awesome!

I hope you enjoy my series.  I'm a huge fan of 'Mix & Match' - take items from several different designers and create one cohesive look.  I am a Maitreya gal but from time to time I will pull out my Legacy or Reborn body and see what I can do with those too.

Thanks for stopping by!  Ping me if you ever want to talk Second Life fashion!

Get Ready with Me - Ready for the Markets

Don't you love rediscovering a store?  That's me when I found out that Zaara  was still open!  Mind you I've only returned to SL about 3 years ago but I remember Zaara from my first stint back in the early '10s.  The designer really understands fabrics and many of her styles have an Indian-style flair to them.   Take this skirt that I am wearing - amazing fabrics, FP came with many to choose from.  And it does have a matching top but instead I opted for one of my favorites from Meva .  Finish this look with plenty of jewelry from Sigma  and a high end bag to carry - this look says 'POSH' all the way!  Like anything you see?  Here's the deets on the look: SKIRT:    Zaara  - Samantha Skirt  TOP:    Meva  - Francine Top  PURSE:   [LVM]  - $LV Monogram Clutch$  Necklace:    Sigma  - Long Chain Necklace (at  Tres Chic Dec ). BRACELET:    Sigma ...

I’m Back – With Style, Waterfalls, and a Whole Lot of Love for Amias

I’m still around — everyone needs a break, including yours truly. But I’ve missed the SL fashion world, my slightly stylish photography, and of course, my blog. So… I’m back! And what better way to return than with some exciting news: I’ve got new sponsors, including Amias — and let me just say, I love this store. Their clothes are exactly what I’d wear in real life: Chic, Fun, Flirty, and even Sexy . Their latest release at FaMESHed , the Petra outfit , is 100% my style. It comes with a beautifully textured leather mini-skirt, a sporty tee, and a comfy wrap-around sweater that gives the whole look a casual yet pulled-together vibe. Amias nails it with textures and color options — this outfit works perfectly as a set or mixed and matched with other pieces in your wardrobe. For the photo, I visited my friend Tom’s stunning SIM. There’s this incredible waterfall that took me straight back to my younger (and slightly more agile) days hiking Ricketts Glen State Park in North Central Pen...

Rocker Chic with LaraX and Tetra

 Well it took a few weeks but finally I got the hint - time to start using my LaraX body for my photos.  When I purchased the fatpack for the new Fiona jacket from Tetra , it only came with the LaraX body.  So I figured I'd put together my first GRWM LaraX look with that beautifully designed and textured jacket!  I paired it with this soft white sleeveless turtkleneck top I bought from Gawk (that was the very first LaraX item I purchased) and that sexy short skirt from AsteroidBox.    It'll take some adjusting to migrate to the new body, but I do like the look of the shoulders and my bum seems a tad bit rounder.  And luckily things like Hair, Jewelry, Fingernails and Shoes seem to work no matter the body.  That makes the transition a tad bit easier. Like anything you see?  Here's the deets on the look: TOP:  Gawk - Phoebe Turtleneck Top White SKIRT:  AsteroidBox - Lea Skirt in White Stripes JACKET:  Tetra - Fiona Jacke...
