Short and Sweet

While I listen to Sia’s new single The Greatest on repeat (so good), I am doing a short and sweet post. I am wearing three new appliers, all beautiful. My favorite is Glam Affair’s Viktoria, which is out today for FLF. I am guilty of acquiring way more than I have been blogging, but I have been itching to jump… Read more →

That’s what I like

In general, I don’t often purchase mesh head appliers that are priced over ~$1,000L. Unless they come with options for tones, eyebrows, or makeups, there is very little reason to spend that much IMO. In fact, I have pretty much completely stopped supporting brands where I think the price is out of line with the rest of the market –… Read more →

To Curate

To curate: to select, arrange and present. Curating pieces to bring together in my own unique way is my preferred way to express myself from a fashion perspective IRL and in SL. I really appreciate SL creators who offer separates that can be curated as we see fit. For those of you who have been around SL for a long… Read more →

Unpacking my bags

Just returned from my vacation to Scotland and am avoiding unpacking my bags. Instead, I am diving back in to SL fashion (as my RL clothes sit in my suitcase). As I let the jetlag wash over me, I am delighting in all the wonderful items released in my absence. While apparently I am perfectly fine leaving everything strewn around… Read more →

Packing my Bags

I am currently packing my bags and getting ready to skedaddle to Scotland for a couple weeks for some exploring! I have never been to that part of the UK, so I am very, very excited! There is so much I wanted to blog before I left but technical difficulties got in the way (as a result, the quality of… Read more →

In Your Dreams

In your dreams, do you picture long, flowing gowns with lace, tulle and bows? In your dreams, do you imagine jewels worthy of the unique woman you are? In your dreams, do you wish for a magic button to get you in to full sims any time you want? YUH, me too!! Sadly, IRL I don’t have much need to… Read more →

Mean Business

If you’ve been around SL for a longggg while, you might remember Shai of Casa del Shai releasing a suit set themed, “Mean Business.” It was incredibly well made and keep in mind, these were the days long before mesh. Imagine the constraints on an artist only being able to work with the system avatar?!!? Textures really had to be… Read more →

Waning Days of Summer

Almost as quickly as the heatwaves arrived, they went. In their wake, a cool breeze, an almost imperceptible shift in the sunset, and a fleeting greeting from the beginning of the end. The waning days of summer are almost upon us. For your shopping pleasure Fortunately our choices in fashion and beauty in Second Life are not waning in any… Read more →

Neutral Territory

I’m still hanging out in neutral territory today – my favorite place to be a lot of the time 😮 Mesh Body Addicts – August 1 On August 1, Mesh Body Addicts opens where you can find these pretty skirts by new to me, fame femme. I love the length and the light, tulle-like texture. It comes with options for… Read more →

Layering in the Summer

Layering in the summer is almost unheard of. But, it can be done. It can even be done in Second Life, where it’s significantly harder to layer effectively due to meshes and sizing. For regular readers, if you saw this pleated skirt from Tetra @Uber, you had to know I was going to go nuts for it. Indeed, it’s like… Read more →

ICYMI: Fiore Mesh Head Updates

In case you missed it (ICYMI), the long-awaited head/applier updates from Fiore have arrived. You should have received your updates automatically, but I definitely recommend visiting the re-delivery terminal at the main store to make sure everything is current. Why update? The biggest change is that now, each head comes with a central control HUD, which governs most of the… Read more →

Undone – in a heatwave

I am going for completely undone looks today, smack in the middle of a heatwave. I spent the whole work week in stifling Miami Beach and then came home to Boston to not much better. #firstworldproblems When it’s this hot and humid, it’s not so much just wearing less clothes as it is wearing loose clothes and undone hair. I… Read more →

Hair Fair 2016: Quick Look

Hair Fair 2016 opens tomorrow and it’s superb. So much respect to Sasy, Whimsy, and their whole Hair Fair team, for creating an easy to traverse, well laid out collection of sims to shop from. It’s a great cause and a wonderful collection of designers to celebrate. Coming from someone who hates crowds, even in SL, this is something you… Read more →

The Heat is On

Here in Boston, Summer just bodyslammed us. Until now we’ve had a hot day here and there, but mostly just nice, warm summer days. When the heat is on, it makes dressing comfortably more difficult, so I turn to simple sheath dresses as my go-to. Like this one from NuDoLu at The Seasons Story. Trinity from LAQ Yes, I am… Read more →

Just Right

You know when things feel just right? I’m celebrating those moments in weekend style when everything I wanted to create worked out almost effortlessly, thanks to the artists of Second Life. I am really loving all the simple, tailored shorts and trousers, relaxed fits, and effortless summer style the season affords us. More isn’t always more when it comes to… Read more →
