Two Faced

While I was trying on this lovely new Moth Wings Necklace from Ane @ We <3 RP, I decided to do a little experiment. It’s no secret I have grown very fond of my new LeLutka mesh heads despite my worries, but I was beginning to miss the customizations with my “own” head and all the wonderful items that we… Read more →

Happiness is…

…a good hair day. There are droughts we go through in SL fashion depending on what designers are putting out. For me, around Shiny Shabby, I had a dearth of new hair to wear other than 2-3 that I loved, but plenty of amazing new clothes. Now, I find that I have more hair than I know what to do… Read more →

Wish List

This piece from Enfant Terrible is dreamy in terms of texture, color and gorgeous detail. It’s clearly sexy and almost fantasy-like from the front. But, it doesn’t cover my breasts completely (wearing a mesh body) so it’s not something I will just wear around casually. It’s beautiful for photos, of course. It got me thinking about some of the things… Read more →

Great Expectations

My cute hair which I forgot to pose with my hair roundup yesterday is from Olive. The paintbrushes have an on/off hud, although mine was not working for me. I wouldn’t want to hide them anyway because they are very sweet. This morning I went back and grabbed redelivery of my LeLutka mesh heads, so I could start fresh with… Read more →

My Loot

Friday was soooo warm in Boston FINALLY. I spent most of the day nowhere near my computer with a much needed day off! I did manage to drop by the Xiasumi School Festival and grab some loot in the morning. I mostly got some cute hairs, which I am quite happy with. I found it a little hard to get… Read more →

Wicked short

As we say in Boston, these dresses are wicked shaht!! That’s actually “short” outside of Boston 🙂 I don’t know about anyone else, but I definitely cannot get away with wearing short skirts like this outside of my own house IRL. I do love them in SL, though! I had a bunch of different snapshots ready with more detail, but… Read more →

Well then…

A raw shot, right from SL. My first look at the LeLutka mesh heads – and “Ever” specifically. It will take a lot of getting used to, but as I thought from seeing all the beautiful shots from some of my favorite bloggers and many on Flickr, the heads are masterful. I am also wearing makeup and lip color appliers… Read more →

Range

Fameshed is open and there is a very wide range of items available. A few of my favorites include this leather dress from Emery, shoes from Just Design and necklace from Cae. I rarely wear tattoos but I really like this one from Pervette available at Cosmopolitan. Unfortunately you can’t see the crow holding the rosary here, but it’s very… Read more →

Birdy

The Birdy collection of brands launched their new sim, Sleepy, and with it, new skins and apparel from Birdy and Foxes (Alchemy was still under construction). Below is Sienna, one of the three new skins available and my favorite. There is also a group gift skin for Sleepy VIPs. Most of the group gifts cost $1L, and the group fee… Read more →

On the bright side

I have said a few times that I really don’t like gacha very much. It’s fun-ish but can be frustrating. However, that has never stopped me from trying for something I have my eye on. I am epically stubborn. After so many tries, it becomes more about my stubbornness than my desire for whatever it is. Case in point, the… Read more →

That Face

I made my shape in 2006. Obviously I have made some tweaks to it over the years, but not much actually since I came back. I was always a petite avatar, in a sea of glamazons back in 2006 – 2008. Am I attached to my face and shape in SL? Yes, of course. Gillian in SL is an extension… Read more →

To top it off

Hats. I love wearing hats IRL. In SL? Very hit or miss. Unless they come with the hair (and even sometimes when they do), they can be hard to work with. And when they come rigged to the hair, options for styling are very specifically limited to the type of hair. However for me, anything is better than the blockiness… Read more →

All Business

Back when I started SL in 2006, there was a big movement to bring RL corporations into the “game.” I guess it was mildly successful for a short time, but in the end, it wasn’t really a business platform. During that time though, there was all sorts of “business wear” (a lot of it was terrible – made by these… Read more →

Dreamy

Dreamy is a bit how I feel styling these pieces. The feeling you get from everything – the casual cargo pants, the undone hair, the loose fitting tunic. And of course the jewels. The magnificent jewels from Mandala, which I chose to dress down. Pretty dreamy. The cargo pants are by a designer totally new to me – Addams. They’re… Read more →

Granted

I wished for a pale fatpack from Belleza and it was granted when Uber opened today. I was THRILLED that I could have every make-up (all 8) in my tone in one pack!!!! and the price is too good not to get your whole tone. “Jia” is so beautiful; absolutely magical actually. I am wild about her. The make-ups are… Read more →
