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 →
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 →
I have had these snaps for a few days but I just couldn’t carve out enough time to post them. I wanted to add even more new sweaters from my “to blog” stash but it just didn’t happen. However, it is finally sweater (and scarf) weather in my neck of the woods. I was happy to see some excellent options… Read more →
This look is a little bit luxe and little bit toasty warm and comfortable. I have been hanging on to this off the shoulder sweater for a year I think? Fun fact: I keep things in my “TO BLOG” folders until I literally wear, blog or delete them. The only items I ever file away are those that are worthy… Read more →
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 →
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 →
When tragedy visits our lives, it’s hard to know how to behave. Do we keep up appearances? Try to occupy our minds? Sit still and wait until we feel better? I don’t talk about my RL here. Mostly the weather and my maniacal shopping habits, mirroring those in SL. But I have suffered a major personal loss. Someone very close… Read more →
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 →
I am about 1-2 weeks behind in SL. Behind in blogging, behind in sorting, behind in answering IMs! But you know how that goes. I finally had time to take snaps of the outfit I’ve been wearing the last few days when I do have time to log in. It’s very “down home country.” I’m into it. This Belleza skin… Read more →
I’m keeping my look mostly minimalist today for maximum impact. I was particularly taken with this skin from Moccino Beaute for Lelutka heads. The subtle freckles and fresh complexion won me over. I almost didn’t demo because tbh, the ad photo was some sort of morph (I think?) and looked nothing like what I ended up purchasing. Just goes to… Read more →
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 →
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 →
I know, I normally blog with a plain, neutral background. I’m not a particularly talented photographer/editor so it’s always better for me to show the clothes/skins/hairs with a blank canvas. After all, I am not the product. Today though, I ventured off my blogging platform and down onto my actual land in Second Life. Although I do not “live” a… Read more →
Welcome to the weekend. I’m still here. Still shopping, still blogging. It may be harder for me to put together the looks I favor because my aesthetic isn’t always in line with what the masses buy in Second Life, but I cherish all the styles that do from all the creators who make them. So here’s a favorite Friday look,… Read more →
This is the October Edit. Welcome to Autumn, in earnest! I really wanted to wear a fall trench coat with this perfect new hair by Elikatira, which I absolutely LOVE (and ps, it has style options too!). Sadly, I couldn’t find anything that fit the coat bill. In fact, nothing came remotely close to an actual trench at all. I… Read more →
