Irreplaceable

I realized, as I was thinking about what hair could possibly show off my new skin applier from Bold & Beauty the best, there are some things in my inventory that are truly irreplaceable. This hair – and YES, it is still available on Marketplace – has got to be at least 5 years old. And yet, here we are.… Read more →

This Face

Can you believe this face is the same? Two remarkably different looks courtesy of Powder Pack for LeLutka. The August Powder Pack was not my favorite in terms of overall content but there were still some real gems for me. Like the lashes from Avi-Glam for example, and perhaps most especially, the skins from Pumec and The Face. Two more… Read more →

A penchant for lace

Lace: so sexy, decadent, and seductive. I cannot believe I used to hate this fabric IRL. It’s true. It used to make me itch – but I didn’t know that was only because it was cheap and I was 16. Times have changed. In my opinion, no other fabric understands women’s bodies like lace. Also, it doesn’t have to be… Read more →

Skin Fair 2017: What a difference a year makes

Wow, what a difference a year makes. Skin Fair 2017 (beautifully done by Esode and Pale Girl Productions) has nearly arrived and unlike what I claimed last year, appliers are basically all you will find. If you’re still wearing system skins, well…I suspect most people who read beauty blogs have long been on the mesh head train anyway 😉 What… 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 →

Preppy, Classic

I love this classic preppy duffle coat from Sleepy Eddy. It’s probably the best coat I have seen in SL…ever, actually. The details are impeccable. Two years later and this hair from Chemistry is still one of my oft worn. I added some bangs from Truth to change it up slightly, but it’s just a classic bun that also has… Read more →

Early Autumn

A scarf in early autumn is a total DO. Tbh a scarf almost anytime is pretty much always a DO for me 😉 I love early autumn for all the layering choices it brings to fashion lovers everywhere. To go from day to evening, I just wrap up in a light scarf or throw a blazer over my shoulders and… Read more →

To Curate

To curate: to select, arrange and present. Curating pieces to bring together in my own unique way is my preferred way to express myself from a fashion perspective IRL and in SL. I really appreciate SL creators who offer separates that can be curated as we see fit. For those of you who have been around SL for a long… Read more →

A Harmony of Hues

Vibrant pinks and the palest blushes play happily together in this little ensemble of dresses, available from various events around Second Life. If you follow me regularly, you know that I don’t do many shorter, flouncy dresses, but I do some. I couldn’t resist the harmony of hues here, and of course I am particularly fond of the criss-cross spring… Read more →

Let It Spring

I just learned that Boston is expecting a foot of snow on Sunday. LOL. So yeah, I decided to focus on Spring colors today. Please, let it Spring (instead of snow)! Thank you in advance. I am still quite obsessed with the new Lien applier from Bold & Beauty available at Skin Fair. I mean I haven’t really taken it… Read more →

Strike My Fancy

Quick on the heels of my very short 2016 wish list, I have been sniffing around the events in the new year, looking for items that really strike my fancy. Oddly enough, only a few things have grabbed me. Some great hairs, select appliers, and accessories here and there. Have the winter doldrums stolen my zest for shopping? No, I… Read more →

Lip Potions

The new series of Lip Potions from The Skinnery are right up my beauty alley. Firstly, I love the word “potion.” Secondly, the rich colors are just gorgeous. Who doesn’t love a matte lip in fall or winter? Yum. The newest version of Lip Potions are exclusively for Catwa mesh heads, available at The Chapter Four. I was so inspired… Read more →

Truly, Madly, Deeply

This is me experimenting with darker toned skins. I love them. There is nothing more beautiful to me than very dark and very fair skin tones. Being extremely fair skinned IRL, I harbor an especially strong attraction to darker tones. And lucky me, there are some absolutely beautiful options all around the grid if you favor a truly, madly, deeply… Read more →
