Summer Leather

I worked some leather into my summer wardrobe in ways that would still be bearable in RL heat. I’m *almost* to my vacation so my casual looks are inspired by all that time I will take to dress down and shop…a lot. A couple comments: The new leather pants from Addams are very good – as most of their items… Read more →

Neutrals

Summer is the best time for neutrals for me. I do them in fall too, but summer just lends itself. Incidentally, I first passed by this hair from Blues, but then went back and I’m so glad I did. Totally fun, summer hair! All of these pieces are 100% fitted mesh from various designers. I’ve said fitted pieces are hit… Read more →

I’m Ready

I’m ready for even more heads, LeLutka and others! We have reached critical mass with skin/makeup appliers and now the drumbeat is growing louder for more heads, pl0x. These new appliers are from Swallow, available only at the new Alice event (I hate the name, but you guys know which one). I imagine you can’t just whip them up, but… Read more →

Who’s that girl? Srsly

I mentioned I have been trying on other mesh heads recently, because I have pretty much become addicted to the sharp features in snapshots. And, with so many artists making appliers for the LeLutka heads, there’s a ton you can do to customize and still be you…so here’s another head I have added to my growing collection. This one by… Read more →

Ready for my close-up

Yesterday I reviewed the new LeLutka mesh head appliers from Modish. I couldn’t really get past the issues with the Lara body appliers so I didn’t spend time covering close-ups, even though I said I liked the face. Ivone is quite pretty as you can see and I particularly like the dark eyebrows. I won’t rehash all of what I… Read more →

Here, have some hair and a bunch of words

I feel like I have more new, great hairs than ever before. I’m still catching up from Fameshed and We <3 RP in fact.  But, I am pretty good about reusing hairs, so unless the designer doesn’t put a picture in with the pack, I am sure to use them again. Anywayyyy, here are some more new hairs I love.… Read more →

Summertime in Earnest

Summertime seems to have arrived in earnest now. And with it, sunny colors, easy fits and more relaxed fashion. The artists of Collabor88 June responded in kind with some of the most colorful, whimsical offerings. Personally I think many people will be most excited by the many great hairs from Elikatira, Exile and others, and most especially, the new dress… Read more →

Making a Statement

I was inspired by several items I have collected over this last week to focus a post on making a statement. My necklace from Shi is very much a statement necklace, although I have done a masterful job of hiding some of it :p I also love the new ring set from ieQED at We <3 RP. You don’t have… Read more →

Insatiable

I started down this path somewhat yesterday, but I do believe I have reached the point – surprised as I am – that I really do prefer mesh heads to standard AV heads, in snapshots anyway. They just allow for much sharper features with no post processing, and after getting used to them, it doesn’t feel as strange anymore. The… Read more →

I keep telling myself…

The Arcade Gacha. Well, as much as I tell myself I just won’t do it. I still do. And that’s of course because the content calls for it. I’m wearing the new face from The Skinnery, which was worth the trip by itself quite honestly. I really do hope to see more applier-based skins for LeLutka very soon too. I… Read more →

Intimates

I have been slowly collecting lingerie in SL, something I love IRL very, very much ^^ I recently read this on NWN and it got me thinking about original work again. Incidentally, Roslin Petion is someone whose work I have worn religiously since back when she was one half of the premier skin making team at Tete a Pied. Today,… Read more →

Body Conscience

I love some of the new body conscience items at Fameshed this round. This first dress is new from Glam Affair. While there are great colors available, I loved this pale creme against a tanned, freckled skin. I’m also showing some very old items today: jewelry from Muse and bouquet from Paper Couture. I don’t think you can even get… Read more →

Embracing the prep

I make no apologies for being a lover of the preppy. In SL a lot of times you can see that style come through in the items I choose to work with. I definitely favor simple, tailored pieces that can be mixed and matched and I would choose a tailored blouse and shorts or chinos over pretty much anything else… Read more →

In my jeans

I love rainy, lazy Sundays. I just got home from shopping and I’m sitting here in my most favorite jeans. Comfortable but not sloppy. Of course I have favorites in SL too. Until now, those included primarily two: coated denim from ISON and the new Luna rolled cuff jeans from Blueberry. I am now adding Deer Co. Upjeans to my… Read more →

Faces of Belleza

I am such a big fan of Shyla’s work at Belleza. There is incredible depth to her faces – particularly around the eyes with flecks of light that are so realistic. Have you seen Amelia yet? She’s brand new and stunning. I am showing the pale tone – makeup 9, with gorgeous grey and eggshell eyes. I also added freckles… Read more →
