I have crankypants on. They are so uncomfortable that I am not showing you. But seriously, when it’s April and Mother (f-ing) Nature decides to give you 8 inches of snow, crankypants are a given. Also, so very little is inspiring me in SL fashion/beauty that I really haven’t felt compelled to blog. Just crankypants all around. The couple bright… Read more →
I am sure many of my fellow bloggers are RL fashionistas too? I know I have been labeled a bit obsessed IRL, but fashion and beauty, in terms of personal expression, are two of my great passions. One of the joys of being all grown up is being able to explore and indulge my interests full on. Though some covet… Read more →
Vibrant pinks and the palest blushes play happily together in this little ensemble of dresses, available from various events around Second Life. If you follow me regularly, you know that I don’t do many shorter, flouncy dresses, but I do some. I couldn’t resist the harmony of hues here, and of course I am particularly fond of the criss-cross spring… Read more →
I just learned that Boston is expecting a foot of snow on Sunday. LOL. So yeah, I decided to focus on Spring colors today. Please, let it Spring (instead of snow)! Thank you in advance. I am still quite obsessed with the new Lien applier from Bold & Beauty available at Skin Fair. I mean I haven’t really taken it… Read more →
My final little compilation of Skin Fair and my top picks, an ode to system skins. I happen to LOVE system skins, so please don’t stop making them! Quite honestly, the most favorite skins in my inventory are NOT appliers…yet. My three top system skin picks from Skin Fair this year are from Tuli, Lara Hurley and Bold & Beauty.… Read more →
Part II of my top picks at Skin Fair continues, this time focusing on Fiore, one of my newer recommended head lines. There are several applier releases from Fiore at Skin Fair, as well as other creators for the 5 Fiore heads. For my purposes, I picked two of Fiore’s own offerings: Doll and Taylor. Two totally different skins with… Read more →
Yesterday I said, “I can’t see getting too many appliers…” All I can say to that is LOL. I was super impressed with some of the new appliers, primarily for Catwa heads. I did also pick up some new system skins, but I’ll start with my Skin Fair Top Picks for Catwa in Part I… In terms of Catwa appliers,… Read more →
I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →
We didn’t have much of a winter in Boston this year, which is fine, considering last year. The shift has started though – and temperatures are expected to top 70 degrees here this week 😮 In honor of climate change, I am breaking out shorts very early. It’s not quite warm enough for this today IRL but soon, very soon.… Read more →
I was supposed to be leaving for England and Amsterdam this coming Sunday but illness will more than likely keep me home. It’s been a rough winter in terms of getting sick constantly, but hey, Spring is on the way or so I hear. Trips not taken… While I usually kvetch about The Arcade every season, I will say that… Read more →
Ethereal is one of my favorite words, and when done well, one of my favorite stylings in fashion. Romantic, dreamlike, beyond the earth…Love. I so appreciate all the items at Uber that really live up to ethereal. Absolutely beautiful and it seems even structured items can be ethereal. I enjoyed this round of Uber a lot, and I haven’t said… Read more →
I was going through all the appliers in my inventory that I haven’t yet worn and was overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. Indicible beauté! These are all various Catwa appliers. Some are shown on the Jessica head and some on Gwen. I am liking Gwen more and more after only a lukewarm start; she is quite beautiful in… Read more →
I love everything about this style. Super smart, comfortable and still feminine. It did make me realize however that there aren’t enough multi-purpose blouses in Second Life. Most of them are prepared to be worn with a particular outfit, so it’s actually a lot harder to layer and mix than it used to be. I wouldn’t go back to the… Read more →
Have you all been to the new event, Whimsical? If not, you can find Miss Elika’s newest hair offering there. Sofia’s a gacha but you really can’t go wrong with any of her packs tbh. I love that there’s a perfectly matched hairbase available for every single tone available. Whimsical is large and takes a while to traverse, plus it… Read more →
This is Liu Wen, new mesh head from Genesis Lab at Kustom9. For this gacha, you have to *really* decide ahead of time if you want to put all that money into the machine to get the one useful item. What good is a skin applier or eye makeup HUD for an Asian-head when you don’t have the head to go… Read more →
