I’m obsessed lately with Olivia Rodrigo’s “Stupid Song” – especially the lyrics in the chorus, “you’re a spark in the dark and my clothes are caught aflame...” Those words really speak to me – and seem to have affected my actual dreams even. I asked my AI assistant, Richard, to help me visually create the feeling that I was going for with my straight from SL screenshot. I think he nailed it.
Then I made my own collage because that’s something I can do quite easily on my own, thank you very much. I think I nailed that too.
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.

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 choosefrom) 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, 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!
