The Pacific Crises Fundraiser begins tomorrow, March 16, 2011 and will run until April 10, 2011. It’s goal is to raise money for those affected by the recent earthquake in Japan and the tsunamis that followed in the region. Over 200 designers have offered an item or more, many giving 100% of profits to the charity AmeriCares (http://www.americares.org)

I put together my look from different items that will be available. My Hair is from Exile, called Sakura and it comes in a pack of 4 colors. The flowers in the hair are color change or can be turned off. The top is from a store called justB and it is my first item from them – it is a special recolor of this top for the event. My shorts are from DCNY and are actually sold with a matching vest and a crimson tank top, but I like pulling apart outfits and using the pieces separately. Last, but not least, my bracelet is an item from je suis… I love a stacked bangle.

The event is huge, there are so many creations to see and I will be posting more. Hopefully you will be able to visit and find something you like, if not, there are donation boxes located at the landing point as well so you can always drop some Linden dollars into it.

I think I may need a new career, my latest stint being a taxi driver doesn’t seem to be working out the way I’d hope… but at least I’m looking good while I wreck car after car! Getting ready was easy with the new Madelene outfit from DCNY. It’s a full outfit, with the shirt, pants, vest, fedora and the fedora with hair in 4 different colors. I’m wearing the hat with the hair in brown, with red, black and blond also included. Even though it’s a take on classic menswear, tailored pieces look good on women too, and I think this more androgynous look is becoming more popular in fashion. It comes in 5 variations with a different shirt colors but all the same pieces otherwise. Besides white, the other colors available are: blue, pink, brown (more like a tan) and green. The shirt can be worn tucked in or out, and the vest comes with the shirt or on it’s own. Outfits that can be used mixed with other items from your inventory are especially great deals, and this one won’t even break the bank when it costs L$ 450 per color.

By the way, you can also find some really amazing two-tone matching heels from Nardcotix which sort of resemble men’s wing-tips. These will set you back L$ 500. You’ll find them right across from the Madelene display (sorry there’s no picture, but they’re really cute).
