Early Fall Fashion for the Simple Girl

Early fall fashion offers the best clothes, best makeups and a reason to wear boots again \0/. I am pushing it a little as it’s still over 90 degrees here, but the leaves are definitely already turning. It’s beautiful. So here are some early fall looks from a few new releases anchored on simple, fun and staple fashions. The dress… Read more →

Revisiting some favorites

Despite more event openings, I really began this look with revisiting some of my favorites, both in my inventory and by visiting the main stores of several designers. Novel, I know! After I came back to SL last winter, “Blair” (The Skinnery) was the first skin I fell in love with after Glam Affair. I can’t get enough of the… Read more →

Variety is my spice of SLife

For me, experimenting with fashion and beauty in SL is very exciting. It allows me to really stretch and create a variety of styles that I find inspiring and beautiful. Adrian says, “well it looks good but it’s not you.” But you see, it is me. Ultimately every style on my blog is “me” in the realest sense in fact.… Read more →

Summer Leather

I worked some leather into my summer wardrobe in ways that would still be bearable in RL heat. I’m *almost* to my vacation so my casual looks are inspired by all that time I will take to dress down and shop…a lot. A couple comments: The new leather pants from Addams are very good – as most of their items… Read more →

I’m Ready

I’m ready for even more heads, LeLutka and others! We have reached critical mass with skin/makeup appliers and now the drumbeat is growing louder for more heads, pl0x. These new appliers are from Swallow, available only at the new Alice event (I hate the name, but you guys know which one). I imagine you can’t just whip them up, but… Read more →

Here, have some hair and a bunch of words

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 →

Making a Statement

I was inspired by several items I have collected over this last week to focus a post on making a statement. My necklace from Shi is very much a statement necklace, although I have done a masterful job of hiding some of it :p I also love the new ring set from ieQED at We <3 RP. You don’t have… Read more →

Undeniable Connection

An undeniable connection = Chemistry. And Chemistry is one of my favorite hair brands in SL. It’s a shop that gets less press than it should really, so when you find new releases there, it’s like you’ve found something very special. I am also wearing a new tunic from Nylon Outfitters with perfect elephants <3, necklace by Kunglers and a… Read more →

Drifting into Summer

Here in Boston, summer has arrived. I’m celebrating with colors that are maybe less than summery :p. Like I talked about here, I’m very into things I can break up and wear as I like. This handkerchief top from miss chelsea is simple and very well done, and I love that it’s not attached to anything (although there are bottoms… Read more →

Ginny

New from YSYS are the Ginny appliers, available at Shiny Shabby. I continue to adore the looks (I loved the first offering, Yvonne). The makeups on Ginny are very pretty, particularly the eyes, which can be super subtle and natural, or quite dramatic. You can choose between natural, smooth or freckled faces – and the freckles are particularly good. I also… Read more →

This and That

Shiny Shabby opened up once again. I adore this event so much although I felt like the hairs won out this round by a long shot. There were like a half dozen all in one place that were all very well done. The new appliers from Glam Affair are beautiful and ever so different than the previous 4 applier releases.… Read more →

Hi, I suck at hunts

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 →
