this is my pick

This is my pick

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

It’s not too late

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 →

new faces

New Faces

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 →

no time to talk

No time to talk

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 →

Level of Detail

Level of Detail

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 →

on the hunt

On the hunt

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 →

back at it

Back at it

Andddddddd I’m back. Back at it as they say. Admittedly, it didn’t take me long to slip back into “Simollian” (Simone + Gillian). But as fail as I felt about it at first – I lasted, what, 2 days? – I realized, it’s perfectly expected to be back where I feel most like me. Isn’t that the point? It’s hard… Read more →

Spirit

This is Spirit

This is Spirit. I mean my skin of course. It’s SPIRIT Skins Mao for LeLutka and you can find it @Collabor88. I have to say, I didn’t go crazy for much at this C88 Birthday round in terms of fashion, as latex isn’t as much my thing (I tried!). But, the hairs, skins, and these great jeweled heels from #Empire… Read more →

May bento mesh head

May, I say

May I just say how much I didn’t expect to like this particular new “May” head from LeLutka as much as I do. Like so many of you, I am playing with the new LeLutka Bento heads and they are masterful. But for a diehard “Simone’r”…can they sneak into my rotation? From a functionality perspective, no one – it needs… Read more →

This Face

Can you believe this face is the same? Two remarkably different looks courtesy of Powder Pack for LeLutka. The August Powder Pack was not my favorite in terms of overall content but there were still some real gems for me. Like the lashes from Avi-Glam for example, and perhaps most especially, the skins from Pumec and The Face. Two more… Read more →

smitten

Smitten

I mentioned in my last post that I picked up a skin at Mesh Body Addicts that I am completely and utterly smitten with. In fact, I am experiencing a similar reaction to this one. And of course that’s because it’s the same creator: alaskametro. There is something so beautifully unique, interesting and real about alaskametro skins. 100% smitten once… Read more →

restyle

Today’s Restyle

Today’s style called for a complete restyle of these lived-in flared jeans I’ve had for years. With newness from Stories & Co. by Flowey, I love the casual, later summer look. It was not lost on me how the new Annabelle Bodysuit @Uber comes in a perfect nude fatpack. In my mind it will be the “Gillian pack” for how… Read more →

Can you feel that?

Can you feel that first hint of autumn when it creeps into the evening or overnight? I can. Even in July. This morning IRL I started mentally shopping for transition styles, which of course led me to doing the same in SL. This is where I ended up on this cool and fall-like day in Boston: a nod to fall… Read more →

hope

Do you ever hope…?

Do you ever hope for something to be made in Second Life and then it happens? That’s a bit how I felt about the first skin for LeLutka from Milan by Milan Jones. Lisa is everything I love about Milan’s skins – but for the first time, on my favorite mesh head platform! A hope that came to be in… Read more →

Pretty Perfect

Have you been to Uber yet? If you have, then you know my pick of the fashion is this prim jumpsuit from {sallie}. It’s pretty perfect. Well almost perfect. Made for the Maitreya mesh body only (and I believe the fit is experimental), there are small fit issues around the arm bands for me that cannot be solved with alpha… Read more →
