solstice

My avatar is dressing for romance on this Winter Solstice. Inspired by a new skin and classic hair – plus a glass of wine, you can see how I got here. For the first time in my life, I wrote out 13 intentions to mark the lights slow return to the Northern Hemisphere. As all good witches do (according to TikTok), I’ll burn one piece of paper each night through January 2, to set the changes I want to see in my life.

I actually had a completely different look prepared and as sometimes happens, changed directions quite dramatically after shifting one small item. I love where I ended up. And, I would LOVE to have an occasion to wear something like this IRL. Can you imagine such a night? A dream! Not one of my 13 intentions, but certainly worthy of a mention.

Happy Winter Solstice to all the other witches who celebrate <3

xoxo

all of me changed like midnight

Style two of two. I did this one while watching – unsurprisingly – the new Taylor documentary and updated Eras concert just released. I was inspired by the massive style shifts between most of her eras…

Incidentally, if you like the boots I am wearing, I noticed they are on sale this weekend – though I went full fatpack a while back and had these on before I saw them in one of the weekend sale catalogs! I miss NeutralTone’s shoe releases – though I very much enjoy my ’emotional support potato’ and ‘useless man’ companion too.

I am gone for the next week once again – and maybe longer. Wishing you all a wonderful, bright, merry, happy time doing whatever you have planned.

I styled two very different looks (this is the first) but wasn’t sure if I would have time to blog them both both before I leave town again. Here’s hoping!

This first one is – as ever – an unplanned mix of things I have loved a long time and new items that I plan to. The second one is very different…now let’s see if I can do one more!

iso deep breath

This past couple weeks have been pretty terrible IRL. I am not going to detail it here, but I will say that someone very important to me is unwell. Stressful and very sad, I have been away (and will likely be gone again this week and all of next). Needless to say, I could use a very deep breath.

I came home to focus on work for a couple days, not to mention do laundry and change out clothes. I also logged into SL for the first time in more than a week, wine in hand, and happily lost myself while picking through a couple of events and a small selection of “black friday” sales. I was most excited to get my hands on the (discounted) Megapack of my favorite Luna skin from leLAPEAU. Though, you might be relieved to see I am wearing a different leLAPEAU skin here…

Projecting my RL anxieties onto my unsuspecting avatar, this whole style felt fittingly comfy and familiar. We are apparently getting our first snow tomorrow in Boston so I suppose earmuffs have become fashionably relevant in my RL again. Deep. Breath.

No idea when I might be back. Hopefully I’ll have better news to project onto my Second Life avatar soon!
