Time is Up

Did you see the Golden Globes this past Sunday? As any fashion lover, I always enjoy watching the Red Carpets at various awards ceremonies, and this one was no exception. But this time, nearly all the female attendees were dressed in black in solidarity with other women, as part of the now infamous #MeToo movement that exposes sexual harassment in… Read more →

Down the rabbit hole

Wow, I started this style blog early this morning (it’s too cold to go outside) and down the rabbit hole I went. Not in SL; but on YouTube. I have legit been watching beauty blogger reviews for Fenty Beauty foundation for … about 6 hours. WTF. It’s completely mesmerizing. IRL I have fair, freckled skin, dark hair and light grey… Read more →

Bright Idea

I love the bright idea behind my turquoise scarf and hat, paired with more neutral staples. The hat/hair combo is another item from the grab bag New Years gift from Ryvolter (and its other brands). I wish the hat could be separated from the hairstyle, because it’s so good. My skin is just released from Fiore for LeLutka and it’s… Read more →

Grab Bag

This bag is literally my grab bag, part of the “grab bag” of New Years gifts from ryvolter/vivenine/fiore. The gifts are a virtual treasure trove of inventory including hair, apparel, accessories (like a couple of my all time favorite SL-made RL bags such as this one) and shoes.That means they’re making room for lots new inventory on the store shelves!… Read more →

2017 Year in Review

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 →

Different Strokes

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 →

Made Very Merry

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!

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 →

Navy, a love letter

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 →

set the tone

Set the tone

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 →

Starry Eyed

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 →

Standout Separates

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 →

if you only buy one thing this week

If you only buy one thing this week…

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 →

vista bento head Lia

Vista Bento Head Lia

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 →
