All Shopped Out

I’m all shopped out. In the last week my inventory grew by embarrassing amounts with all the wonderful fall wears, and skins, and hairs, and…I probably went the most nuts at The Seasons Story because it means it’s been one full year since I logged back in to Second Life after an epic break. TSS was the very first place… Read more →

Minimal

I loved this simple dress from COCO and every time I went to add something, it looked wrong. So I added almost nothing – just a ring – and it felt perfect. Sometimes, I guess minimal is more. I felt like the stars of the look were really the skin applier from Lara Hurley and hair from Tableau Vivant, both… Read more →

Catwa Mesh Head: Jessica

After a lot of back and forth in my head about what I want in a mesh head and what I don’t prioritize, I decided the quality of the new Catwa Mesh Head was worth it – and especially as there are so many good makeup appliers that are already available for Jessica. Out of all the mesh heads I… Read more →

MIX: I don’t need a reason…

…but I am glad there is one. I don’t need a reason to visit my favorite brands’ main stores tbh. It’s still weird to me that it’s now so novel to actually TP around and enjoy the spaces that my favorite artists have created. I like MIX because it’s very specifically not a destination event. Instead, it’s designed to get… Read more →

Some Structure

I am a big fan of structure when it comes to fashion. Even on a casual day, I often lean towards a tailored or structured look and then add softness as I go. I found some items in Second Life that I was drawn to and that do structure really well. Back in the day (I can say that seeing… Read more →

Let’s do this

It’s Friday and I am so ready for the weekend! Let’s do this! I am taking a short but very fashionable (in my mind) trip to NYC this weekend. It’s going to be crisp and cool. I have packed accordingly and am mirroring that in SL before I go. Some of these items can be found at the new round… Read more →

Fashion Sated

My cravings for simple fall fashions are sated for the moment. I couldn’t be happier with all the simple, classic and casual choices available at a slew of events and in-store releases. I mentioned here that I had a feeling my friend Dakota Buck was coming back into the SL fashion world, and I was right! You can find Whippet… Read more →

Finally…Fall Arrives

I have been pushing the seasons a bit maybe. Up until today it’s been high 80s and 90s still in Boston. Today it’s finally Fall, low 70s and crystal clear. Absolutely perfect weather but a day late for all the apple picking we did yesterday! I loveeeee the fitted suede dress from Fishy Strawberry. One of my favorite pieces recently… Read more →

Once in a while…

…a change in my style is so refreshing. Yes, this isn’t my usual, everyday style, but Second Life makes dressing so much fun when you’re feeling like a change. I built my looks all around my favorite Glam Affair skin probably of all time. Sia – or Sia II to be exact. This was a FLF offering last week and… Read more →

Revisiting LeLutka Mesh Heads

I haven’t worn my LeLutka mesh heads in a while. They are still the most well-made heads on the grid with the most effective ways to extend their wear with so many gorgeous appliers from dozens of skinners, but for me, I need new ones to get excited again. Once I see something *everywhere* I personally tend to wear it… Read more →

Date Night

I don’t have a date tonight on the global “date night” of Saturday night. But if I did… I would be wearing something like these, assuming I had somewhere pretty fabulous to go and a fabulous guy to go with 😉 Both hairs I am wearing are new and stunning from Elikatira and the lips I am wearing with my… Read more →

Lara Hurley for Genesis Lab’s Julia Mesh Head

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 →
