Too soon?

Too soon? Maybe. But I couldn’t risk not blogging asap, as who knows how buried these pieces would get in a few weeks when actual autumn arrives and my folders have become even more unmanageable. TBH, I have been avoiding an inventory intervention and I should probably do that before Hair Fair blows everything up. Emery, it’s been a while… Read more →

Giddyup! Hair Fair is around the corner

Giddyup! I’m FINALLY feeling the fashion again. I have a lot to blog and not a lot of time to dedicate to it. But regardless, I love everything I’m wearing here. I did consider pairing this shirtdress with tall boots but I’ll wait until we’re a little deeper into autumn in earnest. I am going to London in a couple… Read more →

Editorial: Unfinished

Do you recognize this skin? If you’re a fan of LeLutka heads, you probably do. You might even own it if you attended Skin Fair earlier this year. If you’re a regular reader, you might also know that it’s one of my (top three easily) favorite skin appliers in my entire inventory. That’s one out of a wholeeee lot. Of.… Read more →

After White

What’s your view on white after Labor Day? To me it makes no difference. White trousers – jeans especially – are part of my RL personal “uniform” literally all year round. I call it After White. <3 This is the blouse I mentioned here from spectacledchic and what prompted me to seek out what else this brand might have for… Read more →

Long weekend chic

This look is my current incarnation of Long Weekend Chic. I mean, I would add a bra IRL but still…<3 It’s’ the end of summer and I am relishing it. I am wearing a new-to-me brand, spectacledchic, that had a blouse at an event which piqued my interest to see more (an event that I only knew about because of… Read more →

White River Co

I popped over to the just opened “pop up shop” for the forthcoming collaborative brand between Elikapeka Tiramisu and Darling Monday called, White River Co. Right now it’s a small sampling of the inventory that will presumably be released when the main store opens soon. For now, you can get a sense of the aesthetic through a few key pieces… 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 →

Bright Whites

I stopped by COCO yesterday to check out the inventory I might have missed and the group gift wall – and low and behold, a skirt that had my name all over it. You know I love a monochrome look, coupled with a simple updo. It’s my jam. So perfect for late summer. I’m back in LAQ by the way.… Read more →

Ribbons and Pearls

I am starting out this back-to-work Monday in a completely non-work appropriate dress. It’s opposite day in my world! A couple notes you may care about: There was no demo for this dress when I visited The Trunk Show. Hopefully there is now. Definitely demo! This dress doesn’t “move” very well and is really best suited for still poses IMO.… Read more →

Take time out

I always have to remind myself to take time out. Or take A time out. Or whatever the directive is to stop (collaborate…) and just be still. This week in Nashville reminded me to do that. It was heavenly honestly. I just returned from visiting my new horse for the first time (it’s a long story; he is a rescue).… Read more →

My Monday

My Monday this week kicks off a fun mini vacation. I am off to Nashville Tennessee to visit my horse who lives in a nearby town – as well as many friends who I only get to see a couple times a year. I am sooo excited but not so excited to have to pack and clean the house before… Read more →

Severe Drought

I didn’t want to acknowledge this but it’s gone on long enough where I can’t pretend anymore. You guys, I am sorry to report I am experiencing a severe fashion drought. There is almost nothing – seriously – that interests me from a fashion perspective in Second Life right now. It has reached critical status. What? That’s impossible! The drought… Read more →

It’s raining LAQ

It’s raining LAQ appliers. Apparently all you have to do to get more options for skins is say so 😮 I am thinking it’s more lucky timing than anything, but I’ll take it. This is Violet, one of three new appliers for LAQ heads from my favorite, Glam Affair. I have tried all my older GA skins on my LAQ… Read more →

The formula

You can say this is the formula I default to when left to style something on a hot and stormy weekend. The formula is neutral and when it works…it really works for me. I actually started with this unique head ornament from katat0nik. I love the contrast of something a little extra, with a relative monochrome overall look. My skin… Read more →

Pink Fuel on LAQ

This is the new Pink Fuel applier for LAQ bento heads, Melody. I absolutely fell in love with this crystal tone in particular. The applier comes with numerous eyebrow color options, two eyelid options, makeups for eyes and lips, AND freckled options! It’s a lot. The price reflects all that customization and is much higher than other skin appliers for… Read more →
