I am going to start and end today’s entry with just a very few words: You do you. Don’t ever compromise your core to please anyone else. I was inspired so much by everything that I am wearing. I hadn’t even planned to blog again before the weekend. But for once, I am going to let the items and simple… Read more →
This was a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect to be inspired so quickly after my declaration that I was on a self-imposed moratorium. But these pieces brought together my style whimsy in a way that was unexpected but so very perfect for a pick me up. I’ll probably never be the blogger in the sexiest dress or new, popular “skimp… Read more →
You know how that one small thing can make your look for the day? My one small thing today is my lipstick. A gorgeous matte red by alaskametro; the perfect contrast to my most favorite Sunny skin, which is now available in the palest tone 1. Both of these beauty items are new at ForMax, an event benefiting SL content… Read more →
Now trending: chinoiserie. No, not delicate wallpapers or home decor. My dress. From United Colors @Kustom9. It’s one of my recent favorites and my choice to pop back into blogging a little earlier than predicted this week. Shopping and styling relaxes me a lot. My skin is also new from Milan, and is one of those charming, non air-brushed looks… Read more →
I visited the Arcade like I always do (grumbling slightly but still…I went) and I TP’d away scratching my real and virtual head about a few of the displays there. So riddle me this: Why would creators put out gacha content that is so wildly unrelated, it’s almost…trollish? Here, have some coffee with your … mesh head? Like, “oh you… Read more →
TGIF! TGIfriday! I have been meaning to talk about the upcoming changes at fri.day. No, not this, my favorite day of the week; but the brand in Second Life, best known currently for its 24×7 packs of colorful, often whimsical shoes. Soon, it will be officially “friday” (no dot) and that is the least of the changes. As such, my… Read more →
May I just say how much I didn’t expect to like this particular new “May” head from LeLutka as much as I do. Like so many of you, I am playing with the new LeLutka Bento heads and they are masterful. But for a diehard “Simone’r”…can they sneak into my rotation? From a functionality perspective, no one – it needs… Read more →
Today’s style called for a complete restyle of these lived-in flared jeans I’ve had for years. With newness from Stories & Co. by Flowey, I love the casual, later summer look. It was not lost on me how the new Annabelle Bodysuit @Uber comes in a perfect nude fatpack. In my mind it will be the “Gillian pack” for how… Read more →
One of my favorite style bloggers is Neva Seljan. Like me, she’s always looking for ways to better manage inventory and be able to find what she wants quickly and effectively. From my view, you have to manage your own “stuff” the way your mind works. This is your virtual closet so there is no one way. In other words,… Read more →
Disenchanted isn’t a word I use often when it comes to fun things like fashion and beauty. But disenchanted is how I have been feeling despite there being some really good new releases around. I have been gobbling them all up but then, I’m unable to really be happy about how they come together for blogging. I think I need… Read more →
Please spare me any more renditions of laced “gladiator” sandals and “rompers” this season, if possible. I know these seem to be super popular in SL but … there are seriously 30+ different versions out right now and I cannot figure out why? How did I miss the origins of these two polar opposite trends that appear only in Second… Read more →
I’ve had a little change of heart re: subscription boxes. Well sort of and sometimes. Let me explain. I don’t really subscribe in general to subscription boxes in SL. I have tried Luxe Box (fun to unbox; some great content; good price) and now I have tried Powder Pack (for LeLutka only). I have also spent a lot of time… Read more →
Wow, what a difference a year makes. Skin Fair 2017 (beautifully done by Esode and Pale Girl Productions) has nearly arrived and unlike what I claimed last year, appliers are basically all you will find. If you’re still wearing system skins, well…I suspect most people who read beauty blogs have long been on the mesh head train anyway 😉 What… Read more →
“Rabbit, Rabbit” for good luck on any new month. Double good luck for the New Year! One of the things I am going to try in this New Year is to spend less time futzing with my blog posts. That is, taking a million snapshots and then writing a ton for every post. I don’t know if it will stick… Read more →
“You pays your money…and you takes your chances.” That old idiom is Second Life’s Luxe Box in a nutshell. The unboxing is especially fun IMO, but you do have to be OK with the roll of the dice so to speak. And then, not complain about what you get because that is the game. You Pays Your Money and You… Read more →
