LeLutka Bento Heads Update: Hit or Miss?
When I saw updates had been made to just about everything on my beloved LeLutka Bento heads, I was worried. As it happens, I was right to be. The new HUD is missing one of my most used features: the eyebrows! What? That means that you can no longer add those specific, gorgeous, bushy, natural brows onto skin appliers you’re… Read more →
Hair Fair 2018: DeuxLooks Top Ten
You all are going to go absolutely crazytown at Hair Fair 2018. I feel like it’s the best event of the year (nice job Sasy and team!) – so well run, so well laid out, thoughtfully managed – and the best part, Hair Fair supports kids who are fighting the most evil diseases. Go crazy at Hair Fair 2018 for… Read more →
Editorial: Unfinished
Do you recognize this skin? If you’re a fan of LeLutka heads, you probably do. You might even own it if you attended Skin Fair earlier this year. If you’re a regular reader, you might also know that it’s one of my (top three easily) favorite skin appliers in my entire inventory. That’s one out of a wholeeee lot. Of.… Read more →
Severe Drought
I didn’t want to acknowledge this but it’s gone on long enough where I can’t pretend anymore. You guys, I am sorry to report I am experiencing a severe fashion drought. There is almost nothing – seriously – that interests me from a fashion perspective in Second Life right now. It has reached critical status. What? That’s impossible! The drought… Read more →
It Matters
Customer service matters. It really matters. IRL and SL alike. If you have a bad experience with a brand from a customer service perspective, you’re less likely to ever shop them again. When you have a good experience, it builds loyalty that is additive (with no ceiling or cap to how much loyalty you demonstrate). Two recent positive experiences I… Read more →
Can we talk about bags?
I enjoy my bag collection IRL and I enjoy my collection in Second Life too. In fact, I enjoy bags so much, I have trouble not regularly purchasing new ones constantly. I mean, at this very moment I am deciding between two sizes of the new Dolce & Gabbana Devotion bag before I buy it (maybe…). It’s an investment (I… Read more →
Glam Affair’s Relaunch
I just got back from a mini vacation and was thrilled to see that Glam Affair (and Tableau Vivant) reopened, completely redesigned, with lots of new inventory. Most notable: completely new skin tones and body appliers. I wasn’t sure what to make of that, given that all our GA skin tones have been built right into the Maitreya Lara body.… Read more →
Don’t Miss
Don’t miss items just because they hide out at smaller, lesser-covered events. Don’t miss in-store releases either while I am at it. In this case, don’t miss this pretty updo from Exile. It’s exclusive to The Trunk Show and it’s gorgeous. Who else is loving that Exile is including bases feathered right into the hairs? Natural and perfect <3 OK,… Read more →
Be careful what you wish for
You know how I said I wasn’t that inspired and in general, I wasn’t finding much inspiring me inside SL fashion? Be careful what you wish for. This gown from Belle Epoque is incredibly inspiring from every angle. More Snow White & the Huntsman than everyday SL layercake gown, I absolutely adore it. I mean, how could I resist? My… Read more →
French Chic
You may know, I love most things French – the food, the cities, and most especially, the style. French women are the most chic creatures on earth, IMO. I have been pouring over Instagram and Vogue watching the Spring couture collections as they roll through Paris. My favorite look from Dior so far. Meanwhile in Second Life… My look today… Read more →
Time is Up
Did you see the Golden Globes this past Sunday? As any fashion lover, I always enjoy watching the Red Carpets at various awards ceremonies, and this one was no exception. But this time, nearly all the female attendees were dressed in black in solidarity with other women, as part of the now infamous #MeToo movement that exposes sexual harassment in… Read more →
2017 Year in Review
2017 was a great year for SL fashion and beauty IMO. I looked back on some of my most favorite looks, reviews and editorials, and despite loving styles like this, this, this, this, this and especially this, I have decided to only look forward. So instead, here are some things I am looking forward to in 2018: What’s to come… Read more →
Different Strokes
Your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, I finally put on a Catwa head again :o. After some shape shifting, I finally found a look that I liked for today. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. I am working on my 2017 Year in Review post and as part of that, I inevitably take stock of everything that… Read more →
Editorial: Real Talk about Mesh Heads
I feel a bit like someone who was just let in on a joke that the whole grid already knew. No, really. This is how it feels when you find out that most everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeee (a scientific unit of measure) prefers mesh heads from Catwa, and therefore creators mostly put out skin appliers for Catwa heads, as opposed to my (obvious)… Read more →
