Now trending: chinoiserie. No, not delicate wallpapers or home decor. My dress. From United Colors @Kustom9. It’s one of my recent favorites and my choice to pop back into blogging a little earlier than predicted this week. Shopping and styling relaxes me a lot. My skin is also new from Milan, and is one of those charming, non air-brushed looks… Read more →
I find myself really short on time (again). Work and life have collided in a profound way this week and I don’t expect to be able to post again before Sunday at the earliest. So for now, a short order post, with a beautiful short order dress with details that are anything but short on style. I will be behind… Read more →
I decided to go retro today. Well, a little retro anyway. And yes, my necklace is a “Q” which is as close as I could get to “G.” I wasn’t going to spend any more time (or $Lindens) trying to get ONE letter out of that damn machine, lol. I love the detail however. I recommend a good zoom in,… Read more →
It’s been so cool in the mornings that I’ve been wearing light sweaters every day until about lunch time. But I love it, in both lives! This great hat from SAGA came from a new (I think?) event, and I felt like it was a real diamond in the rough there. Super cute and it made me glad I checked… Read more →
That fall feeling arrived this morning in Boston. Crisp, cool and not a cloud in the sky. It inspired me to really mix up some of my brightest earthy fall colors. Colors that you might not think ought to go together, but IMO, they very much do. Love! I love everything about this time of year (except Hurricanes – for… Read more →
I visited the Arcade like I always do (grumbling slightly but still…I went) and I TP’d away scratching my real and virtual head about a few of the displays there. So riddle me this: Why would creators put out gacha content that is so wildly unrelated, it’s almost…trollish? Here, have some coffee with your … mesh head? Like, “oh you… Read more →
Even when it’s dark And not a bit of sparkling Sing-song sunshine from above Spreading rays of sunny love Hang on Little Tomato by Pink Martini xoxo Read more →
TGIF! TGIfriday! I have been meaning to talk about the upcoming changes at fri.day. No, not this, my favorite day of the week; but the brand in Second Life, best known currently for its 24×7 packs of colorful, often whimsical shoes. Soon, it will be officially “friday” (no dot) and that is the least of the changes. As such, my… Read more →
Tangerine orange is one of my favorite colors IRL. I love small sprinkles of it or even large splashes from time to time. In Second Life, it’s easy to add some spice when it’s well done. This dress is from Rebel Gal x Ec.cloth and it’s incredibly well-done. Realistic ruched fabric and every detail, down to the stitches on the… Read more →
This is my pick from Uber. The form-fitting Abby dress (add sleeves or leave them off) is the perfect “after hours” look from miss chelsea. I don’t know why I always have to have “picks” from every event but there’s just too much out there. I love a good ranking. This my pick – big surprise – from the beauty… Read more →
It’s not too late for bohemian, late summer fashion, right? I know I said I was already in transition mode, but before I pumpkin spice all the things, let’s enjoy summer’s last licks with a beautifully-detailed skirt from Dead Dollz. It inspired my whole easy style and brings new meaning to “cleavage” amirite? This skirt is all the things I… Read more →
You know how much I like finding new faces I fancy. Well, I found another. This one from New Faces for LeLutka. Actually Shiny Shabby yielded two new skins for me in fact! Ashley comes in a few tones with different eyebrow color options but no makeups (and no body appliers). It’s a pricey skin for the lack of options,… Read more →
Apologies, no time to talk today. Just a peek at a delicately pretty look that I thought was a pleasing mix of textures and tones. Incidentally, I haven’t worn a Laura Hurley skin in so long, but I fell right back in step, even with a skin that was created especially for Stella (I loved Stella) at least a year… Read more →
From far away, it may look like I have put together another nude/beige (which isn’t boring!) look. But on closer inspection, it’s actually a study in Level of Detail. Special mention must be paid to my top and heels, both courtesy of this month’s Luxe Box. The delicately-tied Rowne top has a level of detail that shows every stitch of… Read more →
There is no question that I have been on the hunt lately. On the hunt for something fashionably different IRL and SL. I am mostly done with “summer fashion trends” (probably because I am already deep into my huge September fashion issues). I adore Fall so I am really focused on shifting my wardrobe a bit for a transition. I… Read more →
