Party Dresses and Bows

I do love party dresses in both lives, and these are two of the best new ones in my inventory. I also LOVE bows. Elika of Elikatira knows this and it has not faded as I have matured in any way. If you want me to buy or wear something, just add a bow 🙂 And no, I do not… Read more →

The Scramble

I don’t know about anyone else but at the moment I am truly on the scramble to start (!!!111) holiday shopping. Once I go on official holiday next Thursday for the rest of the year, I expect to be living on the streets trying to scramble to get everything I need for Christmas. As the youngest child of a mixed… Read more →

Lip Potions

The new series of Lip Potions from The Skinnery are right up my beauty alley. Firstly, I love the word “potion.” Secondly, the rich colors are just gorgeous. Who doesn’t love a matte lip in fall or winter? Yum. The newest version of Lip Potions are exclusively for Catwa mesh heads, available at The Chapter Four. I was so inspired… Read more →

Lara Hurley Skins

I am showing two new system skins from Lara Hurley, Dani and Rie. I still get really excited when a skinner I love puts out new system skins. Until we can all have custom mesh heads or there are more ways to customize the mass market options, there’s still the potential “I look like everyone else” factor. I believe that… Read more →

Playing Catch Up

I am just back from almost two weeks away and am playing a serious game of Catch Up! I don’t know if/when I will get through everything I intended to blog but I will certainly try. I have missed sooooooo much and my IMs were capped on the first day so if you tried to contact me, please send a… Read more →

A Little Dab’ll Do Ya

I am one of those freaks of nature who don’t really like red. It’s a color I almost never wear – in either life. The only time of year I will even consider it is around the holidays. And even then, usually only on my nails or a scarf or clutch. I don’t even like red roses 😮 But, I… Read more →

Too Cute

Taking an outfit that I could potentially make “too cute” and instead, make it feel a bit more sophisticated was just what I was looking for today. I pretty much love everything I am wearing, although the skirt on this set from Zenith @ Kustom9 is a tad too short for my general, everyday tastes. Even so, I love the… Read more →

Look for the Good

I have logged on and off very quickly over the last several days. I haven’t slept well. Like so many of us, I am so distressed. It’s hard to act “normally” when the world feels so upside down. Blogging somehow felt empty; like I should have something profound to say. But all I can say is, when horror is upon… Read more →

Truly, Madly, Deeply

This is me experimenting with darker toned skins. I love them. There is nothing more beautiful to me than very dark and very fair skin tones. Being extremely fair skinned IRL, I harbor an especially strong attraction to darker tones. And lucky me, there are some absolutely beautiful options all around the grid if you favor a truly, madly, deeply… Read more →

Like Beauty, Style is Subjective

If you follow my blog, you know I love a deep navy blue. I pretty much live in this color, especially in fall and winter. I feel like it’s my spirit color actually 😉 I get a fair number of comments and notecards that people sometimes find my style “boring” or “too conservative,” especially when it comes to colors. I… Read more →

Pink Fuel Morgana Appliers for Catwa

These new appliers from Pink Fuel are for Catwa’s mesh heads. The Morgana appliers are some of the best I have seen for the Catwa heads and are so reasonably priced for everything you get. There are tons of options and absolutely gorgeous eye makeups in particular. I loved the Morgana system skin and I am definitely loving Morgana for… Read more →

Dressing for Fall …When it’s Still Hot Out?

It happens to be almost 75 degrees here in Boston today. It’s beautiful, blustery with remnants of a passing hurricane, and bursting with fall color. But it’s not like I can walk outside with my favorite cape or I would broil. So, how am I dressing seasonally appropriate when it’s so warm out? Like ^ that. Maybe I would add… Read more →

Deep Fall

Halloween is around the corner and Thanksgiving looms only weeks later. We’re entering Deep Fall here in the US. It’s still not time for snow or heavy coats just yet xD so I put together some of my recent favorites that fit with the season. Personally, if it could stay like this all year round, I would be quite happy.… Read more →

Let Me Just Eat My Hat

I have said a bunch of times that I don’t prioritize expressions on my mesh heads, and even, that I don’t care if they have them 😮 . I have changed my mind…sort of, so let me just eat my hat. *noms* OK. While I am still a lot more likely to buy a mesh head with no expressions, I… Read more →

Too Much is Never Enough

Be honest. How many times do you wear your hairs in Second Life on average? For me, I wear my favorites over and over and over, as evidenced by the last year of blogging. But between hairs and shoes in Second life, too much is never enough. I am a certified “shoe whore” IRL and a “hair whore” in Second… Read more →
