jetlag

Jetlag isn’t so bad

I am so jetlagged that I go to bed at 7:00 pm and wake up at 2:00 am. I eat all day long and my PJs are about as fashionable as I can muster. But as it turns out, jetlag isn’t so bad. It means I can catch up on the 46 shows my DVR recorded (wtf?) and style new… Read more →

Ticket to Travel

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 →

Summer Short

Like the rest of the SL fashion set, my summer short is a great pixie cut courtesy of Tram. How are you guys liking Uber this round anyway? My favorite thing of all? New skin applier from Spirit. I don’t love the moles on the body appliers’ decolletage (available separately at their man store) and Madina comes with no makeup… Read more →

Sunday shopping in both lives

I am leaving in a few weeks for London and then Paris \o/ so I spent today doing some Sunday shopping. I meant to post this before I left but…oops! In Second Life, I am wearing the still relatively new Bento head from fiore, coupled with a fresh new skin from The Skinnery. I would *love* to see an applier… Read more →

I love a good sale

I love a good sale. And I wait for months and months for really good ones at my favorite sites or stores offline. Right now IRL I am stocking up at net-a-porte’s seasonal sale and in Second Life, I’m stocking up at Rowne. I think the sale probably ends today (!!) but it’s worth a stop over if you have… Read more →

Freshly Squeezed

See? It’s not that I am color averse, it’s that there aren’t enough pretty and feminine dresses in tangy colors in Second Life. I pretty much love everything about this freshly squeezed look. I even let my avatar smile 😮 Also, may I just say that I rarely buy fatpacks – instead, I like to pay more than the cost… Read more →

Charming

Is it any surprise I found this bow charming? Is it a surprise I find any bow charming? I am nothing if not predictable some days xD Spring has burst onto the scene in Boston where I live and yesterday was close to 90 degrees! WTF? So, I am extending my spring-like fashion streak in kind with a casual look… Read more →

I like to be perfect

“I like to be perfect but I don’t like perfection.” – Alber Elbaz How true, Mr. Elbaz (one of my most favorite designers and fashion personalities – famous for hating to be seen as a “personality” and hating to have his photo taken). What does this have to do with what I am wearing? Well, I guess I find “perfection”… 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 →

Hello, Holidays

This week kicks off another year of making merry, beginning here in the US with Thanksgiving tomorrow. I am already working on my holiday wardrobe IRL and noting how much easier it is in SL! I am wearing a new applier by Milan for fiore, shown on three different head shapes. I will just say that Milan has quickly become… 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 →

Mean Business

If you’ve been around SL for a longggg while, you might remember Shai of Casa del Shai releasing a suit set themed, “Mean Business.” It was incredibly well made and keep in mind, these were the days long before mesh. Imagine the constraints on an artist only being able to work with the system avatar?!!? Textures really had to be… Read more →

Hair Fair 2016: Quick Look

Hair Fair 2016 opens tomorrow and it’s superb. So much respect to Sasy, Whimsy, and their whole Hair Fair team, for creating an easy to traverse, well laid out collection of sims to shop from. It’s a great cause and a wonderful collection of designers to celebrate. Coming from someone who hates crowds, even in SL, this is something you… Read more →

Joyful Bursts of Color

Today felt like a better day to showcase the joyful bursts of color I mentioned earlier this week. I am definitely feeling more hopeful this beautiful morning, so for all my lovers of color, this one is for you. I am wearing the fresh new mesh head from Catwa, and beautiful tangerine dress from Lowen, at Kustom9. My gorgeous clutch… Read more →

Love is Love is Love is Love

I am going to keep this very short because I feel like fewer words better represents my headspace right now. There’s a lot going on in our world, and I find myself introspective, worried, and somewhat emotional in the wake of so much sadness. But fashion is very therapeutic for me and love is love is love! Anywayyyyyy, I have… Read more →
