Dakota Buck released a slew of new items again (yay!) - a few of which have horsey themes - so of course, I’m all over that. If you’ve been paying any sort of attention to the evolution of Savvy? then you’re aware that in addition to great clothes and accessories, she has some of the best branding and naming in SL. It’s clever and totally memorable. Personally, I love getting an understanding of what inspires the designers of SL. I always remember how an outfit came to be…

OK, enough chatter, here’s the first race day inspired outfit called, “Cup Day.” The Melbourne Cup is coming up and this is absolutely something you might see a lady wearing on race day. It has a silk blouse with delicate pearl buttons and knee-length skirt, leather riding gloves and my favorite part, a perfect bow at the back of the skirt. Layers? Check. Two sizes for all prims for easy sizing? Check. Thoughtful? Check check.

The hair is a new favorite from Hiccup called, “Slow Jamz 2007″ - which kind of cracks me up.

The leather riding gloves that are part of the Cup Day ensemble are also available in other colors - all rich leather with gold zipper accents. They also go with just about any Savvy? outfit you can think of, so I messed around in my Savvy? folder with other releases to show you.

My favorite in this release is “Eve of Destruction,” which has all the reasons why I loved Savvy? from the moment the first designs were released: rich colors and textures, system skirts and great attention to detail. With perfect pencil skirt, gold blouse (with sleeve extenders), and cropped leather jacket, it’s pretty damn perfect in my eyes.

Dakota also released a skirt separate called, “Merne Awele-Awele,” which is named for the Arrernte people in Dakota’s homeland in Australia. It’s a flexi prim skirt in a dusty rose color with red button detail, and green and yellow stripes. I added a shrug from Maria Gherardi and my Blue Hair in the background :p

Finally, more riding glove colors and more Savvy? favorites from my closet.
