2017 was a great year for SL fashion and beauty IMO. I looked back on some of my most favorite looks, reviews and editorials, and despite loving styles like this, this, this, this, this and especially this, I have decided to only look forward. So instead, here are some things I am looking forward to in 2018: What’s to come… Read more →
Happy New Year to all! My wish is that we all fall deeply in love with our lives in 2018 (our real lives, especially) 🙂 xoxo Read more →
Your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, I finally put on a Catwa head again :o. After some shape shifting, I finally found a look that I liked for today. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. I am working on my 2017 Year in Review post and as part of that, I inevitably take stock of everything that… Read more →
I most definitely made very merry over the Christmas holiday, and hope you did too. We actually had a real life white Christmas here in Boston. Illusive and often wished for, in reality it was a pain to get around in! But still, it looks beautiful now that Christmas is behind us. I am back to work IRL today but… Read more →
Merry Christmas and all my warmest wishes for for a peaceful, joyous holiday with friends and family. Don’t forget to try to take some time for yourself doing whatever it is that makes you feel that peace and joy. Especially peace. xoxo Read more →
I think I once said that the color navy is my spirit color. And it so is. So here’s my love letter to navy, basic without technically being a basic; the world’s only neutral color that’s an actual color; and a color that looks good on most everyone (even the palest person IRL, aka me). Ok I might be a… Read more →
Some of my favorite shade combinations of crimson and lemon set the tone – unexpectedly maybe – for a fresh, cold day. I love the coat and scarf combination from Belle Epoque. You can’t see the boots, but they’re sweet too. I happen to be watching The Crown right (Season II, natch) and you might see something like this in… Read more →
I am still wearing my Bella skin from Belleza. It’s actually exceedingly rare for me to wear the same skin – and almost unheard of for me to blog the same skin – for 2 days consecutively. That’s how much I love it. I am also wearing gorgeous new winter makeups from Izzie’s. They come for both Catwa and LeLutka… Read more →
I put together a casual winter look made up of some simple, but standout separates. We had our first snow in Boston this weekend, so it seemed apropos to dress with that in mind. Incidentally, the very first snow I saw this season was in Austin last week. Yes, Texas y’all. It never snows there! WTF? I actually got stuck… Read more →
These booties are my plus one for the week. I happen to be leaving for a business trip to Texas and I can only take one pair of party pumps. I’ll take these – IRL too, please. I am pretty sure they are at the very least inspired by RL tied booties, like the ones I just got from Chloe… Read more →
This is Vista Animations Bento head, Lia. Recently released, it was priced at a discount over the long holiday weekend. The price may have gone up by now but either way, I’d encourage you to have a look. Let me tell you about the things I really like: It has one main HUD that governs most of the head’s main… Read more →
I know I said I had all this haul from “Black Friday” sales in Second Life, but first, this delicious little ensemble courtesy of some new releases from over the long weekend. Apropos for such a delightful little “winter ice cream” accessory that I couldn’t resist at Uber. Probably because I am still reeling from all the Thanksgiving indulgence. We… Read more →
I wanted to post this BEFORE Saturday night but unfortunately WordPress 4.9 broke everything on my blog. so <3 Adrian <3 had to fix it. Anyway, I took my niece to The Nutcracker in Boston last night, which is how we kick off every holiday season. So it was a different kind of date night. The family, holiday kind. Maybe… Read more →
I feel a bit like someone who was just let in on a joke that the whole grid already knew. No, really. This is how it feels when you find out that most everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeee (a scientific unit of measure) prefers mesh heads from Catwa, and therefore creators mostly put out skin appliers for Catwa heads, as opposed to my (obvious)… Read more →
This coat gives me a decidedly fuzzy feeling for the cold days ahead. It’s from fame femme, as is the dress and scarf. All will be available later today @Shiny Shabby (FYI: I greatly miss the old, village build but the sim is apparently being remodeled). I pulled in a few shots of red to set off my normal neutrals,… Read more →
