One of the most interesting things happening in the mesh head market is the wave of new appliers coming out for different heads – including those from Genesis Lab. That brand is arguably making the most noise at the moment, with frequent releases and very accessible entry points via gacha and group gifts. One of my favorite skinners to capitalize… Read more →

Sashaying to my own song
It’s no secret that my favorite way to dress in both lives is to mix my look up but stay true to my core style. Mixed textures, mixed tones, all of it. We all definitely sashay to our own fashion songs, which makes personal style maybe the most accessible way to assert our individuality on a daily basis, regardless of… Read more →
Genesis Lab: Marie 2.0 Mesh Head
This is Marie 2.0 from Genesis Lab, available at The Chapter Four. Normally if I visit this event, I walk away with shoes or a hair from a gacha maybe. This time I acquired mostly beauty items – from Genesis Lab, Mudskin and The Skinnery. I love new beauty items to play with. Starting with Marie today, this head is… Read more →
Pink Fuel: Morgana at The Arcade
I braved The Arcade once again, albeit briefly, and picked up Morgana from Pink Fuel in all the brow options. I added some of my favorite tattoos to soften the lips and cheeks a bit. Dark eyebrows are my absolute favorite on any skin and these are absolutely gorgeous. If I could take them and put them on other skins,… Read more →
Early Fall Fashion for the Simple Girl
Early fall fashion offers the best clothes, best makeups and a reason to wear boots again \0/. I am pushing it a little as it’s still over 90 degrees here, but the leaves are definitely already turning. It’s beautiful. So here are some early fall looks from a few new releases anchored on simple, fun and staple fashions. The dress… Read more →
Tuli: Like a Time Machine
Way back in 2007 and 2008, I wore a lot of skins from Tuli. After my CS Vogue and then Minnu skins, Tuli’s were usually in my common rotation. I hope all those who came after our early generation (and a few of them are still here and blogging!!) have had a chance to sample Tuli’s work. If not, then… Read more →
Eyebrows on Fleek
Yes, that’s what she said. I really don’t know what it means, but I can tell you I have been a HUGE fan of striking eyebrows IRL since before it was apparently stylish. These appliers are new from la petite morte, and though I am not wearing my LeLutka heads much atm, I wanted to try these – strictly for… Read more →
coldLogic launches Neve
I only recently began wearing items from coldLogic. But soon found that some of my favorite simple, classic pieces come from that brand (mostly tailored shirts, trousers and tied sweaters). I took notice when I learned that the brand was launching their next evolution – with pieces that are made specifically to fit the grid’s most popular mesh bodies, including… Read more →
Editorial: Transactional Fashion?
This is an opinion piece that’s been rattling around my head. I have attempted to put it out there without making it War and Peace length. I very much welcome comments and all different opinions! Think about how you shop for your clothes, shoes or accessories IRL. Those brands that you’re attached to and keep coming back to. You could… Read more →
Transition pieces for early fall
I know after the winter many of us had, I should not be looking forward to fall so much but tbh, it’s all about the clothes and makeups. Fabrics are slightly heavier, colors richer, hems longer. Good stuff in Second Life and ofc IRL! I am so happy that we’re nearly past the part of summer requiring basic sundresses, sandals… Read more →
And we’re back…
I don’t know about anyone else but I am wrapping up an incredibly intense work week. I couldn’t log in, definitely couldn’t blog, and was asleep by 10:00 most nights only to be back in the office again by 7:00 a.m. the next day 😮 It’s good to be back! Annoyingly, I actually did have a blog all tee’d up… Read more →
Revisiting some favorites
Despite more event openings, I really began this look with revisiting some of my favorites, both in my inventory and by visiting the main stores of several designers. Novel, I know! After I came back to SL last winter, “Blair” (The Skinnery) was the first skin I fell in love with after Glam Affair. I can’t get enough of the… Read more →
Almost too sweet: Dresses that don’t bore me
I knew I would eventually end up doing this post. Despite my boredom around some shorter, “girly” dresses in Second Life, these dresses are all exceptions for me. Why? Extraordinary construction and/or textures you can almost feel. The top of the Dreamy Dress from Pixicat at Collabor88 is textured in a way that I can almost feel the fabric if… Read more →
Almost Imperceptible
Where I live, once the calendar hit about August 6, an almost imperceptible change happened. Lights in my house are now being flipped on around 7:00 rather than 8:00. The air conditioning isn’t running much and the evening air has the slightest hint of a chill. The seasons are signaling a change. It’s my favorite time of year, but so… Read more →
Collabor88 is dreamy…really dreamy
There are very few Second Life events where I will be so effusive about the content or the experience that I get all hyperbolic. This round – the Daydream birthday round – of Collabor88 is literally the most dreamy of them all. If you’re a fan of the soft and feminine, this is your round too. I would just like to… Read more →
