Uptown Girl Fashion – C&W Designs

On October 23, I posted about a cute dress created by Boston Westland of Atelier La Bubu. Boston, in fact, had another brand called C&W Design that he runs together with his friend. I must say it was a little confusing as you can purchase the same outfits in both stores but I liked his designs so much that I decided to blog about another lovely creation by Boston.

C&W Design – Andrea Dress

Although the design itself is completely different from the Londonize Memore Dress I posted about on the 23rd, what remains the same is his uptown, elegant image without making it a formal wear or a party wear. I love styling day wear clothes as there is so much you can play with and Boston’s outfits give me that fun as they are elegant but not overly styled leaving me very little areas to play with.

For this Andrea Dress, the lovely blue of the dress was something I wanted to play on and I was lucky to find a perfect hat for this! The Lizette hat in blue matched this dress so well that it looked as if it was part of the design! It wasn’t just the colour too. The design of the hat matched the elegant uptown impression the Andrea Dress had so perfectly that I was smiling the whole day.

The ruffles around the neck opening for this dress was not prim parts but it was actually drawn on the dress. This allowed me to add a white rose to play up on the clean blue and white coordination of this look. This rose is a head ornament I found in Illusions that came in all sorts of colours. So what I did was, made a copy of the white rose, attached it to my chest and adjusted the position in edit so that it will sit in the center of the ruffle almost like a broche. Since it was modifiable, I also turned full bright on to make it look more white.


To add a bit more fun, I also decided to hold a purse from Baiastice. I think I am now very happy with this uptown girl look that is pretty, fun and elegant. 🙂

A Charming Spring Dress From Hal*Hina

Hal*Hina is a Japanese store that is very famous in Japan for it’s skins, both for female and male avatars but from some time ago, they have also started to sell clothes.

Hal*Hina outfits are, in general, very pretty in colours but never uses strong bold colours. Typically, the colours are soft and outfits very girly. Here I found this most charming dress called Tunic Dress – Doll which can be worn like I am showing in my pics, or as a shorter baby doll dress. What a perfect dress for this time of the year! It’s still a bit chilly but it’s definitely getting warmer. Yay!! Spring is here!!

I have matched it with a similarly dainty jewelry set called Placido by Twinkleberry, a pair of charming and girly shoes, also in pink, by G Field and a newly released hair called Thalia by Tsukinowaguma. The ribbon you see in my hair is a matching ribbon that was included in the
dress set for Hal*Hina.
