DeuxLooks puts together a easy Sunday shopping look as summer wanes and something shifts requiring layers in Second Life and IRL. Read more →
Gone Glamping
A few years ago, I became interested in trying “Glamping.” Glamorous Camping. Seriously. There is this gorgeous place in Montana that I am FINALLY going to visit for my Glamping holiday this year. I figured I could wear something like this… You can find this hair/hat combo and the cute boots at Belle, which I mentioned earlier this week. I… Read more →
So predictable
DeuxLooks puts together a predictable look made up of items the blog favors. In typical fashion, it’s predictably perfect. Read more →
Talk about a restyle
DeuxLooks restyles the BEST wide-leg jeans in Second Life and eagerly awaits a creator remaking these jeans for the current SL mesh bodies! Read more →
Thigh high know how
Try as I might, I have not found as versatile a pair of thigh high boots in Second Life as these from the original shoe/boot specialist, Maitreya. For those of you who don’t know, before dominating hair and then later, mesh bodies, Onyx built the early Maitreya brand name on heels and boots – still some of the absolute best… Read more →
Meant To Be
Some things are just meant to be. Like these bright gold LaGyo earrings paired with a beautiful, deep sea blue blouse. I didn’t even realize how perfect they were together until I put them on. Aside from my earrings, ring and trousers (which I blogged earlier in a different color), the only other new, never worn item is my hair… Read more →
Creature Comforts
Decadent crystal and pearls, fur (faux of course), silk charmeuse, elegant stockings and heels. All my creature comforts in one look as we move deeper into fall. I started with this stole, which is technically new but actually quite old, if you know what I mean. I must have a dozen just like it in my inventory but for some… Read more →
Weekend Haul
I have such a haul from this weekend to enjoy and much to blog. It started with FLF and ended with a preview of TLC, with a longer than usual stop @ Fameshed in between. It’s been a while since I just went all out and shopped up and down the grid. TBH, it’s been a while since I actually… Read more →
Butterscotch
Fall seems like the perfect time to wear a pretty butterscotch dress. You know I’m not generally into short, flouncy type “cuts” in SL because they’re typically a dime a dozen, literally. But this one made me happy and I love the detail on the pretty “fabric” with a lovely, natural sheen. This is Eliza, new Omega-based skin from LAQ.… Read more →
Accessory Update
My rich chocolate accessories really led this look, perfect for a fall Saturday. IRL, I have been doing a lot of long skirts with booties, so recreating it – somewhat – in SL, was very satisfying. This whole ensemble would not have been possible without the delicate Tee from Canimal. I mean, talk about a perfect tucked top. It’s so… Read more →
LAQ Ofelia
As long as LAQ keeps making skins with strong eyebrows, I’ll keep wearing and loving them (mostly on my Rebel head). This is Ofelia, a new Omega-based skin for LAQ heads. All tones (eyebrow and no eyebrow versions) are $990L as a full pack. You can’t buy single tones separately, but considering you get all of them for the price… Read more →
Late summer
Late summer is my favorite time of the summer months. The nights are so crisp – foreshadowing what’s probably only weeks away; and the days are still so warm but you can feel the sun receding slightly. It’s just less extreme. I spent the weekend down at my parents’ house on the beach – which is pretty much heaven –… Read more →
It Matters
Customer service matters. It really matters. IRL and SL alike. If you have a bad experience with a brand from a customer service perspective, you’re less likely to ever shop them again. When you have a good experience, it builds loyalty that is additive (with no ceiling or cap to how much loyalty you demonstrate). Two recent positive experiences I… Read more →
Happy “get away” day
Today is unofficially “get away” day. That is, the Friday before our major July 4th holiday, when millions of Americans take to the roads and drive to various summer hot spots on the coasts to spend the week doing too much sunning and drinking. It’s a day for sucking it up and not complaining about the traffic. For me, it’s… Read more →
