Cashmere Skins, they’re out for reals.

corduroyshop — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 21:51:08 +0000

I haven’t felt the urge to update this blog in a very long time. This trend will most likely continue… but I’m going to make an exception.

I’m really happy that one of my dearest friends and favourite hobag, Gianna Broda, has FINALLY put his ish out for sale! It’s only taken him about er… a year? Well, that doesn’t matter because it was definitely worth the wait. If you haven’t heard of the brand Cashmere, it’s been around for many years and this anal retentive man has been wow-ing me since the beginning and continues to impress me on a daily basis.

Click here to view original size.

I am probably his biggest fan. Gianni works hard and the effort he puts into his creations shows. I say this about all his skins but I truly think he’s out done himself.

Stop by Cashmere to check out all the goodies <3 Have a happy and healthy 2011!

5th & Oxford’s Spring Goodness.

corduroyshop — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:29:36 +0000

Be on the look out for these goodies from 5th & Oxford <3 I really am excited that Spring is here and even more so for these! The Jori blouses and skirts are romantic and definitely girlie. You can wear them as separate pieces or together as shown here. I love this look and how it's so well suited for the Spring season. On closer inspection I'm extremely impressed with the skirt's texture, it's gorgeous! Also, you can wear this blouse with or without the prim ruffle but I like it a lot and think it's the perfect finishing touch. I'm a big fan of 5th & Oxford and I’m really glad Rosie’s making clothes.

5th & Oxford’s Jori blouses + skirts

Have you met Brandy Darkrose? If you haven’t you should friend her… she’s a hoot and a half ;x

Brandy Darkrose aka Catero Alla Marcelle (Um.. It’s a really bad inside joke don’t worry about it..) is doing something I wished I had the balls to do myself. She’s creating her avatar and everything about her avatar from scratch and entirely by herself. When she first told me about her project I was like, “You Crazy!” but Brandy has a point. All you need is the will and a whole lotta gumption to get yourself creating in SL. I’m one of those people who always say I can’t learn how to make a shirt or hair, etc… and Brandy wants me and all the others who feel the same way that I do to just believeeeeeeee! LOL.

She’s giving herself a year to do a complete makeover of her newbie avatar and anything and everything she sports will be of her own creation. I totally believe Brandy will pull this off and hope that it will inspire not only myself but others too… Follow her blog: Brandy Darkrose’s Blog where she’ll continue to update her journey as well as posts “how to” tutorials which I’ve found quite fun! Good Luck Brandy!

I love surprises especially when it’s a group gift from Lamb! Probably one of the best hair shops in SL, I always feel spoilt when I get something from there and when Lamb Bellic sends out a group gift on the fly I feel so special ;x I styled completely around this new ‘do and [KA] Designs’ latest release the Spring Fling top (hey! she’s wearing the same hair in her blog banner! Haha- great minds.. <3).

I'm diggin' how it's so easy to layer things under this plaid top and have picked out *Linc*‘s new cashmere short sleeve top to wear with my favorite panda bear tee <3 I've been watching Gia’s flickr cause I keep missing her in SL (I miss you hobag) and I am under the impression that she might be getting on with her Cashmere skins. The ho, is too busy in RL! Keep your eyes peeled for those and the Veschi hobo bag which is coming as well as these kawaii Scribble – Floppy Bow Socks <3 o/` I feel pretty… oh so pretty o/`

Things I currently love:

My I Love Olive – Valerie Hair, I’m wearing it in Teal Horizon. Congrats! on your new store location at LE LOOK (this is a LE LOOK exclusive which can only be purchased at the linked location)!

My Surf Co. Boardwalkers in High Tide. I LOVE THEM! Like Tres Blah, I love pretty much everything Surf Couture makes and when I saw them in the flesh I so badly wanted to buy the whole fatpack but I’m going to be good. I have been seeing these everywhere and even though I was not going to buy them I finally gave in. They’re unisex so boys go get them too!

Metric. I don’t usually post music on here but I’m in the mood. I can’t tell you how much I love music or the band Metric. It’s just not right to go one day without listening to any tunes. I saw this band live once a long time ago and they were amazing. Dude, they keep getting better! This album makes me want to go see them in concert again.

Listen to it!

xoxo!

What Next.

For those who have been following Corduroy since the beginning you know that this blog use to be a shop blog. Where I would post updates on Alan’s and my shop. We use to create furniture and socks but now we do nada since we’re lazy bums.

What Next – February Group Gifts

Anywho, I have a soft spot for content creators who specialize in furniture and when my friend Star dragged out some of her furniture pieces (shown above) to decorate her skybox I immediately went ooh–. Star was telling me how she had received the sofa and floor pillows as group gifts and I was slightly in awe. Well textured, multiple sits, poses and low prim?! Alan was always big on making low prim furniture because he wanted to make furniture that was lovely for those who didn’t have too many prims to work with.

I really appreciate that What Next furniture shop makes such cute and wonderful things and uses a very minimal amount of prims! Winter and Frank are partners who together create a pretty amazing array of decor for your house and garden. FYI, they’re also a RL couple <3 Everything in their shop screams cozy and comfortable. I love how almost everything is scripted and they have really taken their time to make sure that each item is well made and can stand on it's own. I highly recommend you check out What Next for high quality low prim furniture.

But if you’re not convinced check out these snapshots:
