Big News

I know that I haven't made any announcements for a while and I'm sorry for this. I do have a couple of exciting announcements today to do with where I have been and the future of Savvy?

1) As soon as I have some spare time (I'm back to full-time study) I'll be opening a new mainstore on the Imogen sim. I've invited Mr Jonathan Hugo to share the land with me for the development of his new mainstore. If you like Savvy? then you'll more than likely love Fuse. I'm very excited about this partnership which has come about for two main reasons: a) I love his work and b) after the release of some things I've been hoarding since last year and a freebie tennis dress there will be NO MORE NEW RELEASES FROM SAVVY?. This is because:

2) I'm so very proud to announce that I will now be designing under the name Lindsay Armidi. I have recently accepted the offer to become part of the Armidi design team and I couldn't be more thrilled. It's an honour to be working with not only the original Armidi design duo but also the other new designers who have, like me, joined the team. Great and innovative things (see for example ShopArmidi) are being developed by this brand and I'm excited to not only witness this but to be a part of it. I hope that my current customer base will share in my excitement for current and future projects with Armidi and that the current fans of this brand will find beauty and enjoyment in what I create as Lindsay Armidi.

Limited Edition Freebie

I'm no longer a teenager! Yep, I'm 20 today (It's Friday by my timezone) so to celebrate I made a freebie (well 1L) dress... the catch is that I'm only selling 20 copies. I'll set out 4 lots of 5 of this dress on the 18th (by SLT not mine). You have a chance to grab one at 12midnight, 6am, 12noon or 6pm SLT when Friday 18th ticks over.
Thanks for all your support.

The Eve of Destruction set is the perfect Autumn ensemble. The goldish shirt utilizes the glove layer to lengthen the sleeves over the hands while the sleeves of the cropped pig-leather jacket finish at the elbow. The grey pencil skirt is shot with fine gold lines and finishes at the knee to reveal heavy denier tights.

Cup Day is my nod to the upcoming Melbourne Cup Carnival, in Australia the first Tuesday in November means the horse-racing event of the year... and of course with horse-racing comes fashion. This set is very equestrian influenced and includes a silky knee-length skirt with a dressage-inspired bow at the back, a goldish-grey blouse with tiny pearl buttons and black riding gloves with gold zippers.

On a suggestion from Saeya Nyanda I'm also releasing the Cup Day riding gloves in several colours as separates (or a discounted fatpack). All six colours are fit snuggly with a gold zipper.

This skirt gets its name from the language of the Arrernte people, indigenous to central Australia. Merne Awele-Awele is the name for the bush-tucker known as the Bush Tomato in English. I love Bush Tomato chutney and the dusty red, yellow and green of this crinkled knee-length skirt were making me hungry. The waist-band of the skirt is decorated with two red buttons.

Savvy? Mainstore

This release has been delayed a couple of days because I was without internet (it was HELL).

This week Savvy? adds two new outfits to the Feel Rich line.
The tops from Ghosts Are and its twin Good Company are semi-sheer with opaque satin inlays. The Good Company set is completed by high-waisted pants while Ghosts Are has a knee-length pencil skirt and simple prim-belt.

This nautical-inspired skirt has a definite retro feel. I made the skirt in red and blue to continue the nautical theme and they are sold together for 120L.

New Releases at Savvy?

In celebration of Hallowe'en (as Iris Ophelia says, the fashionista holiday) I'm giving an exclusive themed gift to my update group, Savvy? The outfit is called Concubine Trash and is quite a change of pace for Savvy? - the set includes a red and black stripped bustier, black high-waisted hotpants and torn stockings.

The Janine is my first attempt at a full-length gown. It's elegant and slinky, fastening with ribbons at the small of the back to leave most of the back bare. The dress is available in 5 separate colours (or as a discounted fatpack).

Lastly the Angry Leggings (because they were going to be called Cross Leggings, get it? I know, shutting up now). The solid fabric of these leggings ends at the knee and the laces wrap down around the calves to tie off at the ankle. Available in 7 spotted fabrics (or a discounted fatpack).

OMG I made a lot of stuff!

Another new Savvy? series - "Feel Rich" - is born. This collection uses classy blacks, goldish-greys and eventually a set of white and red accessories.

Quarter to Three is inspired by the festival-wear seen at Woodford Folk Festival with a very upmarket twist. The heavier fabric with breezy full skirt make it perfect for transitional seasons. The bust is cut to suggest a plunging neckline without actually tarting out.

Savvy?'s take on the LBD - Little Black Ache - is slinky and elegant while bringing the sexy with liberal amounts of side-boob and bare shoulder blades.

Charm School was made for men but turned out to be rather unisex and maybe a little to feminine in the cut of the waistcoat. The multi-layered set includes pleated pants with skinny belt, smartly tailored waistcoat over a diagonally striped tee with a collar and elbow-length sleeved dress-shirt peeking out. A thin ribbon is tied at the throat.

The above three outfits were named for Bishop Allen songs, go check them out if you like indie pop.

I made Dear Stephanie as a birthday gift for my partner Stephanie Misfit, but she has agreed to let you have it to, hehe. This is the first Savvy? outfit to use sculpties. The collar of the long undershirt is high and a short waistcoat sits over the top. The set is finished off with knee-shorts and opaque stockings.

Some people may already know that I'm not totally crash hot with prim-work but I have made my very first prim jewelry.

The Repairs Necklace is an antique chain (gold or silver) with a large hand-drawn stone (onyx, amber or lapis lazuli) pendant that hangs low between the breasts. This piece is a bit in the wars so it's been mended with a piece of thin black ribbon where the chain has broken.

Anticipation...

Wasting Time, HI!

I saw this test in the Fashion Planet feed... I think it was on Tuli's blog. I'm kinda surprised - I expected to be a LOT more dorky/awkward.





I promise you I'm actually ridiculously awkward.
