Delicious

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 →

different kind of date night

A different kind of date night

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 →

Editorial: Real Talk about Mesh Heads

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 →

fuzzy feeling

That Fuzzy Feeling

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 →

color crush

Color Crush

For this shopping Saturday, I am focused on my color crush once again. Second only to navy blue, dusty rose is a staple for me – and truly forms a large swath of my wardrobe IRL (and as you know, in SL too). I love that you can style it like any neutral so I went with some rich browns,… Read more →

pre-winter whites

Pre-winter Whites

Is it too early for a fresh winter whites look? OK, let’s call it Pre-winter then? Call it anything – I am so smitten. And you know, I am not a gowny girl. But I am a hopeless romantic and this just does the trick. I used the word “smitten” intentionally. If you’re a regular reader, then you know that’s… Read more →

It’s about that time, isn’t it?

It’s about that time, isn’t it? You know, the time when we start to think about party dresses for the holidays. How did that happen? Wasn’t it just summer? 😮 But yes, as soon as I saw this stunner from Pixicat, I knew I had to clear the way for some party dress inventory – and maybe, just maybe, even… Read more →

Modern Knit

I’m behind – OK, way behind – in planned blogging this week and don’t expect to free up much before next weekend. In the meantime, a quick one with an example of a “Modern Knit” that I really like. True, the high turtleneck can be a little awkward in certain poses but it’s so similar to something I wore and… Read more →

candy coated

Candy Coated

With Halloween right around the corner, I must have been thinking about all those sweets because I’m completely candy coated for today. Not the creepy Halloween kind though, more like Easter. Oops. This is another tone of the same ItGirls skin I was wearing here. It’s my new favorite for LeLutka and you can expect to see almost all the… Read more →

You Do You

I am going to start and end today’s entry with just a very few words: You do you. Don’t ever compromise your core to please anyone else. I was inspired so much by everything that I am wearing. I hadn’t even planned to blog again before the weekend. But for once, I am going to let the items and simple… Read more →

precious metals

Precious Metals

My first of two precious metals is a dress I took a chance on from a designer I wasn’t familiar with and have never blogged before. Safira offers the “Lucie” dress, which comes fitted for Slink and Maitreya, and includes a lace and an opaque version, in a wide-range of colors. I like an oblique cut IRL and I love… Read more →

first frost

First Frost

Early this morning in Boston we had our first frost of the season. When it finally arrives it takes your breath away after so many hot days, even well into Fall. I was inspired to dress with that light ice in mind so I slipped into the palest, frost-kissed skin. And, do you recognize my bow adornment once again? You… Read more →

May I recommend?

May I recommend you take a break from rushing around, TP’ing, clicking and unpacking hundred of items at a plethora of events? No? Well OK, but in your frenzy to acquire all the shinies, don’t miss what is one of the best releases I have seen in a while. And with a big gulp of fresh air, you can only… Read more →

Power Pairing

I love this power pairing of skirt suit and sleek boots. I rarely wear “outfits” that can be separates because it’s more fun for me to break everything up BUT this jacket was too perfectly “cut” for its pencil skirt pairing. Plus the blue is so beautiful. There’s something really satisfying about a look that is both powerful and powerfully… Read more →
