On a Friday

I am messing around with very dark tones again. I feel like with the freckles, the Jamaica tone from Glam Affair is very pretty even though I am almost always so fair. My jeans are new from CandyDoll and come in packs with 20 ombres or ripped patterns for good value. I picked up the ombre pack, showing some examples… Read more →

Undeniable Connection

An undeniable connection = Chemistry. And Chemistry is one of my favorite hair brands in SL. It’s a shop that gets less press than it should really, so when you find new releases there, it’s like you’ve found something very special. I am also wearing a new tunic from Nylon Outfitters with perfect elephants <3, necklace by Kunglers and a… Read more →

Drifting into Summer

Here in Boston, summer has arrived. I’m celebrating with colors that are maybe less than summery :p. Like I talked about here, I’m very into things I can break up and wear as I like. This handkerchief top from miss chelsea is simple and very well done, and I love that it’s not attached to anything (although there are bottoms… Read more →

Like Frosting

All the colors I am showing today remind me of the most delicious, colorful frostings you can imagine. Like icings from a gourmet cupcake shop in summer. Elikatira is spoiling us with new release after new release. This is Teigen out just today and goes so well with the items from Uber’s Spice round. I am also wearing a new… Read more →

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout

Uber is back for me this round. And by that I mean that the last couple haven’t really been my thing. This one on the other hand is so full of items that I love. From the hairs to the apparel and skins. WOW. I absolutely loved it. Starting off – as is my tradition – with some of my… Read more →

Separate but equal

I try to fill my inventory with items that can be separated from their “outfits.” The only downside to mesh really is that a lot of things tend to come as “meant to be worn all together” as one look. I am less interested in that although I understand it from a dress or suit perspective. In general, I prefer… Read more →

Ginny

New from YSYS are the Ginny appliers, available at Shiny Shabby. I continue to adore the looks (I loved the first offering, Yvonne). The makeups on Ginny are very pretty, particularly the eyes, which can be super subtle and natural, or quite dramatic. You can choose between natural, smooth or freckled faces – and the freckles are particularly good. I also… Read more →

This and That

Shiny Shabby opened up once again. I adore this event so much although I felt like the hairs won out this round by a long shot. There were like a half dozen all in one place that were all very well done. The new appliers from Glam Affair are beautiful and ever so different than the previous 4 applier releases.… Read more →

She’s gone and done it

Elikatira is out with new hairs once again. They’re fantastic, as expected. [e] has – bar none – the absolute best colors, best HUD system and best branding in SL hair IMO. Why? Well for one, the colors are amazing, but this is to be expected. The variety of colors, dips, and dyes is simply overwhelming in the best way.… Read more →

A dress is a dress…

…but often, the shoes help make the dress. At least these shoes do 😀 I was so happy when I logged in tonight to find The Secret Store released new T-strap heels, including ones for Maitreya Lara feet \o/. There are lots of colors available including brights, neutrals and pastels. I didn’t have time to snap them all, so here’s… Read more →

In Dreams

Like many of you I am sure, I have spent a couple days hunting around the various fantasy events. It’s true I mostly stick to stylings I am comfortable with but I will always collect beautiful pieces, regardless of period or style. I find this dress and headpiece by Zenith to be remarkably pretty. This is one of the commons,… Read more →

Stolen Shots

I look forward to Kustom9 every month, pretty much for one reason. It usually means new poses from the likes of Kirin (above), Sari-Sari (below) and more. I am a confessed pose addict and will hardly ever turn up my nose at new ones from my favorite creators. Some of the most natural poses from Bauhaus Movement were what actually got… Read more →

Small Surprises

The joys in fashion/beauty in SL often come in the quiet of your skybox or wherever you’re trying on new items. I blogged these appliers from Lara Hurley for the LeLutka mesh heads yesterday, and once again, today I was delighted to zoom in on pixel Gillian’s eyes. The eye makeups on Alena are ridiculously well done and the mole… Read more →

Alena

This is Lara Hurley’s first contribution to the LeLutka mesh head market. Alena is shown here in the Milky tone (the lightest available). I think Alena is absolutely beautiful. Shown here on my Lotte head, the pack comes in your chosen tone with an applier for all 6 available mesh heads. There are 4 eyebrow options for each type of… Read more →

Pretty. Simple.

Pretty. Simple. Two words that I like best about all these pieces. Nothing is overdone; nothing is too fussy. You don’t even need shoes to create a feel for the dress from [sYs] available at On9. This trench from Emery is the best I have seen in SL since my return. Obviously I love the color (and all the colors… Read more →
