The countdown is on. I leave tomorrow night (!!!) and I’ve got my ticket to travel. I get so anxious before I travel but am usually OK when I get wherever I’m going. Here’s hoping it all goes ok! Anyway, how much do I love this skin from amara, in this month’s LeLutka Powder Pack? A whole lot. Not a… Read more →
Almost as quickly as the heatwaves arrived, they went. In their wake, a cool breeze, an almost imperceptible shift in the sunset, and a fleeting greeting from the beginning of the end. The waning days of summer are almost upon us. For your shopping pleasure Fortunately our choices in fashion and beauty in Second Life are not waning in any… Read more →
Where I live, once the calendar hit about August 6, an almost imperceptible change happened. Lights in my house are now being flipped on around 7:00 rather than 8:00. The air conditioning isn’t running much and the evening air has the slightest hint of a chill. The seasons are signaling a change. It’s my favorite time of year, but so… Read more →
Collabor88 for July is open and it’s quite good, particularly if you like mermaids and starfish 😉 For me, I found some great staples for my wardrobe that I will definitely reuse. Though they may have nothing to do with “under the sea,” there’s always something for everyone at this event, not to mention absolutely great prices. I keep crashing… Read more →
Here in the US, we had a momentous decision to make marriage legal for every person, regardless of sexual orientation. While we lag behind 17 other countries (I think), nothing has ever made me more proud of my country and more proud to be American. Love Wins! This has nothing to do with what I am blogging today, but I… Read more →
For the past 2 years I have chronicled my love affair with the perfect white shirt on my Pinterest board. Nothing is more versatile to me than this one article of clothing that inspires my fashion foundation for nearly every season. Does that foundation translate to SL too? Where “ready to wear” takes on a whole new meaning and creating… Read more →
I feel like I have more new, great hairs than ever before. I’m still catching up from Fameshed and We <3 RP in fact. But, I am pretty good about reusing hairs, so unless the designer doesn’t put a picture in with the pack, I am sure to use them again. Anywayyyy, here are some more new hairs I love.… Read more →
I started down this path somewhat yesterday, but I do believe I have reached the point – surprised as I am – that I really do prefer mesh heads to standard AV heads, in snapshots anyway. They just allow for much sharper features with no post processing, and after getting used to them, it doesn’t feel as strange anymore. The… Read more →
This is my favorite Collabor88 to date. I’m kinda over the whole sweet skirt thing for now so I was happy to see that some of my favorite designers went a different direction here. Like these slick jeans from Tres Blah. And this perfectly textured romper from Tee*fy. I am showing navy here because it’s super rich. My favorite pieces… Read more →
This is Mudskin’s Ria at Shiny Shabby in the chocolate tone. I just love this face – the subtle freckles, the lovely lips, and all the tattoo options you get in each makeup pack. Once again, I am wearing a much darker tone than my usual Sunny but I love it, particularly the contrast with my light eyes from [Buzzeri],… Read more →
I tend to stick to fair tones in skins, maybe because that’s what I am IRL. But I do love going darker too. The tones from The Skinnery – Toffee, Mocca, etc. – are so incredibly done that I enjoy wearing them as much as my favorite champagne or milk tones. My clothing is mostly new from some recent events.… Read more →
Hi, I’m Gillian and I suck at hunts. I have spent many hours searching the Wayward Hunt sites and failed a lot. I did finally find the skin I had been coveting from The Skinnery but admittedly, I had help from a lovely fellow hunter who helped me. We had both spent ridiculous amounts of time over 2 days trying… Read more →
Some of my favorite new skins/makeups for Spring! All so different, all so pretty. From left to right: Mudksin’s new Lovely Bell; Glam Affair’s new Katra makeups; and Belleza’s new Beth full release. My dress is from a new to me brand, Breathe. There’s a release of this simple sheath dress that comes in a host of springy colors at… Read more →
