losing me

I’m feeling a bit lost in SL fashion right now. I check out the new releases and scan the endless weekend sales, but not even my tried and true favorite events offer much inspiration these days. I gravitate to pre-loved inventory, struggling to even find a newer hair I can stand to use. Perhaps it’s time for a real break; recharge something that’s gone a bit flat.

IRL, I have been watching some creepy TV to couple with the season. Have you seen the new Carrie series? This new rendition is really interesting (tho parts of the acting are incredibly hokey) – a mostly new take on a very well known story. I’m also planning to try to watch the original Haunting of Hill House based on the terrifying book by Shirley Jackson. The original movie is black and white, and deeply unsettling.

I love the idea of Halloween but in reality, I am afraid of the dark and watch scary movies mostly through my fingers preferably during the daytime. Like my SL house where it’s always Fall and moody thanks to environments like this one from JuicyBomb Autumn Skies, my new RL house is now decked out with ravens, pumpkins and mums – everywhere. I hope we get a lot of kids, because it will be the first time out of the condo building with our own front door, perfect for knocking!

In closing, I’ll keep an eye out for new items that inspire, but I may be gone while I work up the interest again…we shall see.

the daily edit

If you saw this past Friday’s FLF catalogue, you may have also made it a point to zip over to Zaara to pick up this (now fitted) FLF version (2 patterns to choose from) of a previously well-loved fatpack of knotted scarves. I first blogged this scarf in the fall of 2017 and held onto the full pack all these years. Wouldn’t it be great if the creator was planning to update the previously released version too? As of this entry, a redelivery of my ancient fatpack still yields only rigged/non-rigged versions as before. So, I’ll keep an eye out.

Elsewhere, I am still wearing the same skin but switched up eyes and added newer earrings from LaGyo. My sweater is the new perfect weekend staple from (fd) and the fatpack to get all the best yellows was a must for me.

Oh and it just started to rain here in Boston IRL so I think I’ll prioritize a glass of sauv blanc and some brie for a cozy Sunday evening in.

not so fast

Not so fast, cold weather! Before I go full fall, it’s so gorgeous outside IRL – like late summer since Friday – I couldn’t resist this lighter look. The blouse and skirt are new from Amias and the pairing is right up my alley. I’m sorry to say tho, that despite my whining, still no texture included with purchase. One other nit while I’m at it, the belt metals can’t be changed (at least on singles). But on the flip side, the most important thing to me is that Amias is one of the quality brands I can always count on for a Legacy Perky fit. I AM FOREVER LOYAL to creators who provide that body option. <3

IRL, I’m setting off traveling for a work trip all week. Let’s hope it doesn’t suddenly turn winter-ish while I am gone!

nor’easter

If you’re anywhere near the Northeast US then you’ve likely been stuck inside for 3+ days (with at least one more to go) like me. Unending rain for this many days is absolutely soul crushing. Joy sucking. Darkness descends.

I saw this skirt hit my feed over the weekend, and it was the only thing that inspired me to style. To cheer myself up, I probably should be showing it in the bright yellow or turquoise, but earth tones won the day – or lost the day, depending on your depression level. I do love it tho, and picked up the fatpack without a second thought.

What does it say that the rarity of skirts covering both butt cheeks propels me to TP in Second Life these days?

This skirt is delightful, seams and all.

Now, before anyone gets surly about these ancient necklaces – almost certainly unavailable now – I keep and use things for literal decades. No, really; this is not hyperbole. You see, yesterday this avatar turned 20, apparently. What in the actual…?

The better thing to get cross about is, why no one makes jewelry like this anymore…
