Do you ever wish…?

That you could walk around in your real life with fairy wings? I do. I wish I could wear my fairy wings, my big spoon, my foxy socks. All the time. One of the greatest things about SL is that it’s easy to express yourself, whether you’re an artist, builder or just a dreamer. I do wish I could find… Read more →

Can’t. Keep. Up.

You know you’re addicted to something when you have to acquire whatever it is. No matter what. You. Must. Have. It. This is how I am with Glam Affair skins. This appears to be a common problem with a lot of us. I also have this problem with hair, but it’s not just one designer >.< Read more →

Adventures in Gacha-ing…

Gacha is a new phenomenon since I came back to SL. It existed in one form or another way back when, but there wasn’t an entire category dedicated to it. In general, I am not a huge fan. I understand the way it works, but it’s frustrating to spend money on something not being able to guarantee what you get.… Read more →

u.f.o.

I raved about how much I loved the items I picked up from u.f.o at Shiny Shabby. I wanted more but had only seen them at a few events off and on. After some searching, I did find the main shop. I picked up a bunch of items that I rather love. Simple, so well made, and beautifully subtle. They… Read more →

Taking risks

Anna Wintour is one of my heroes. She is fascinating and mysterious, unless you believe everything written in The Devil Wears Prada. One of the things I love about her is that no matter what she is wearing (I mean aside from her sunglasses), she will look strong but still very feminine. She doesn’t consider herself a powerful person, yet… Read more →

Tangerine Sweet

One of my favorite colors is orange. A sweet tangerine orange. It’s a color that suits those of us with fair skin and dark hair, in particular I think. It’s a hard color for everyone to wear, but an easy one to accessorize with no matter your coloring. As Springtime creeps into SL (it hasn’t arrived at my RL location… Read more →

Pinked

Every now and then (OK, perhaps more often than that), I like to overdo my love of pink. I don’t particularly like hot pink, unless it’s like these a-mazing lips on my Glam Affair Alice skin. But petal pink? Yes, IRL and in SL, it’s something I tend to flock to – and have to really make myself stay away… Read more →

Making it fit

I have worn several pieces from Seul over the last couple of months and have been generally happy with them. Very on trend and modern. This is the Emile playsuit from this round of Uber. I discovered that wearing this particular dress with my Maitreya Lara mesh body created a few issues because of the plunging neckline versus the alpha… Read more →

All ribbons and pearls

These Boho Loops from Ane sparked my whole look today. Ribbons and pearls (technically, beads) bohemian style. I pretty much love everything I am wearing. The small pops of powder blue, the realism of the linen dress, and the sweet sandals by Pure Poison. I have to say I have really enjoyed the last several releases of Pure Poison shoes… Read more →

Dreaming of Spring

As the snow begins to fall once again here in Boston, I am ready for Spring – even if that means rain. I don’t care as long as it’s not snow. I had been looking for something to wear with this beautiful skirt in the week since Shiny Shabby opened, and I found it in this Glam Affair Gypsy tank… Read more →

Going both ways…

Not to be cheeky, but it was fun taking the same outfit from Tee*fy and dressing it up completely differently. None of us are the same from day to day. Why should our fashion be? The Lana V-neck romper is sure to be one of the most purchased items from this round of Uber, featuring some of our best designers’… Read more →

Rounding it up

Some of the items I have newly acquired all in one place! With a bunch of new events coming up (I am looking at you, Uber and Arcade), I wanted to make sure some of these special items didn’t get lost in my inventory, which this time around, I am working very hard to keep very small. I am truly… Read more →

In the East

I debated picking this up from GizzA at Shiny Shabby. I like the colors available (all soft options) and the patterns are gorgeous but I rarely like the way cable knit looks in SL. I would have preferred the dress with the sweater optional (and I would have liked a tea length option too 😉 ). In the end though,… Read more →

Go big or go home

I feel like that’s a sports thing, but in this case, I am talking about hair. Little Bones doesn’t do subtle as far as I can see. This is a good thing because the hairs are unapologetic and the textures are very distinct to their brand. The shine on the browns is pretty epic although the stylings don’t always flatter… Read more →

Buttoned up

I think the Vintage Chiffon dress from Zenith was one of the first items I saw teased from Shiny Shabby. I wanted it from the moment I saw it. I am very happy with it, although I think it’s hard to accessorize properly because it’s one of those dresses that speaks quite well for itself. The only thing I would… Read more →
