Gloss and Glimmer

I am still going through my new Powder Pack (and Hair Fair haul btw) and today’s makeup look is courtesy of alaskametro and Zibska, with skin from Egozy. The eye makeups are particularly good; full of gloss and glimmer. You may remember how much of a fan I am of alaskametro skins and cosmetics. Beautiful. I’m also wearing the most… Read more →

elikatira in Second Life

Elikatira returns

Elika is someone I have known for a decade 😮 If you don’t know her, please let me be a little hyperbolic for a moment. She is incredibly witty, funny, gifted, beautiful, patriotic, and most importantly, a dedicated and amazing mother. I adore her. I also happen to adore her hair in Second Life – obviously – so with much… Read more →

Add something?

Clearly I didn’t follow the sage advice by Coco Chanel who said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Instead, I decided to add something. Or many somethings. I was an a roll 😀 Minimalist is my normal vibe, but I was really feeling the beautiful Easter egg rose color of this new… Read more →

Fresh

Just last week I was freshly squeezed and now I’m just fresh. I love the crisp, fresh Spring look built around tailored trousers from United Colors. This is a brand I don’t think I have blogged more than once or twice prior and only accessories. These “Taka” spring trousers are super cute with their brass buttons and smart cuffs. I… Read more →

Sunday Style

Sunday style = 2 parts casual and comfortable, 1 part tailored. I love these trousers. I love them so much I have them in all colors (except green – I do not like green!). I need them in white, please, SPIRIT! Make it happen! This is my Sunday style and it all centers on my comfortable but tailored trousers (more… Read more →

Sweet Cate

Now that Skin Fair is in full swing, I’m really checking out the wear-ability of all my new skins and one new head. Cate. From LeLutka, of course. I am also wearing a skin from Candy Doll that I didn’t expect to like, but I do! I originally waited to wear Cate after getting what I can only describe as… Read more →

Skin Fair Part II: YSYS

This is Kirsten from YSYS, another new skin applier for LeLutka at Skin Fair 2017. One of the best things about Skin Fair for me is really expanding my skin portfolio but also, starting fresh. What??? You mean, you actually delete older skins/appliers and start over? Yes, yes I do. Don’t twitch when I tell you… I don’t even box… Read more →

A case for champagne

I’m making a case for champagne with this dress from Azul. I have never worn inventory from this creator before, and the Zaria dress is unique, with bell sleeves and a satin overlay bodice. Very, very pretty and so fun to style. It also comes with flexi parts (not shown). I remember when flexi came to the grid (yes, my… Read more →

Hitting Refresh

I am hitting the refresh button today. Taking a fresh look at what’s in my inventory and where the holes are. In particular, I am looking at ever-popular Second Life subscription “boxes” like Luxe Box (FD: the only one I participate in) and others. Is Second Life moving farther and farther away from a la carte to mostly event/themed/packaged shopping?… Read more →

Exquisite, delicate

Exquisite. This dress from Dead Dollz just whispers exquisite, delicate. You can wear it with a full gown base or with a bodysuit, letting the lace really stand out. The back is delightfully detailed and sexy; the front, demure or risque. It’s billed as a bridal gown, but seeing as that isn’t something in my plans atm, not every gown… Read more →

Good Bones

My grandmother always used to say, “as long as you start with good bones.” She didn’t just mean my cheekbones hidden by baby fat at the time; she meant the “bones” of everything – fabric, fashion, houses, gardens, and especially horses. Good Bones Meaning, as long as the foundation is solid, the rest was immaterial. I am not sure what… Read more →

Winter Whites

I’m wearing winter whites today, inspired by a breathtakingly cold day in Boston. I needed something to inspire some warmth, ok? In addition to my whites, I hit up Tram yesterday for FLF and found a great sale I had no idea about -_-. Most fatpacks are deeply discounted. I feasted on that for sure but I did note how… Read more →

I don’t really do lingerie in SL…

I don’t really do lingerie in Second Life very often, but this, I loved. L-O-V-E. From Dead Dollz and available at The Liaison Collaborative, you can change the ribbon colors and the small embellished gems. I’m also wearing new hair from Little Bones. I love this long flowing style but there is a little bit of a strange texture thing… Read more →

Rabbit Rabbit

“Rabbit, Rabbit” for good luck on any new month. Double good luck for the New Year! One of the things I am going to try in this New Year is to spend less time futzing with my blog posts. That is, taking a million snapshots and then writing a ton for every post. I don’t know if it will stick… Read more →

You pays your money…

“You pays your money…and you takes your chances.” That old idiom is Second Life’s Luxe Box in a nutshell. The unboxing is especially fun IMO, but you do have to be OK with the roll of the dice so to speak. And then, not complain about what you get because that is the game. You Pays Your Money and You… Read more →
