It’s raining LAQ appliers. Apparently all you have to do to get more options for skins is say so 😮 I am thinking it’s more lucky timing than anything, but I’ll take it. This is Violet, one of three new appliers for LAQ heads from my favorite, Glam Affair. I have tried all my older GA skins on my LAQ… Read more →
You can say this is the formula I default to when left to style something on a hot and stormy weekend. The formula is neutral and when it works…it really works for me. I actually started with this unique head ornament from katat0nik. I love the contrast of something a little extra, with a relative monochrome overall look. My skin… Read more →
This is the new Pink Fuel applier for LAQ bento heads, Melody. I absolutely fell in love with this crystal tone in particular. The applier comes with numerous eyebrow color options, two eyelid options, makeups for eyes and lips, AND freckled options! It’s a lot. The price reflects all that customization and is much higher than other skin appliers for… Read more →
The first LAQ skin applier from The Skinnery is officially in my summer rotation now…and probably every other season tbh. Sofi’s eyebrows are perfection and eyebrows are probably the most important part of a new skin purchase for me (not to mention the most important part of my face IRL!). I wore this skin previously in toffee and today, this… Read more →
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 →
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 →
I have all the Friday Feels right now. It’s beautiful out and I’m heading out IRL to enjoy and have some cocktails. As a result, this will be very short! I haven’t seen a ton of press about The Epiphany this round. Have you? For me there was really only one booth I was super excited about (Bauhaus Movement) –… Read more →
It’s one of my favorite things in Second Life beauty: Powder Pack LeLutka delivery day! Did it come through for me this round? Welllllllll…. What’s in the box? Yes, mostly. I think I am spoiled by all my IRL makeup hauls with beautiful summer palettes (today one of the most anticipated palettes of the whole year launched!). I am a… Read more →
I don’t like “rompers.” I don’t even like the word, “romper.” I feel like a romper is something that a pre-teen girl wears and it looks perfectly appropriate on her but much less so on a grown, adult woman. Then, I made an exception for this romper. There was just something about the textures I liked and had to have.… Read more →
Did I overdo it? I have been known to overdo the cute from time to time. This might be one of those times but it seemed apropos for the weather, which has finally turned sparkling and summerlike, without melting me. A couple of notes: I’m wearing the new head from LAQ. I’m still on that kick. My collection grows. I… Read more →
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 →
Here in the Eastern US, we’re in the middle of a vicious heat wave. It’s well over 100 in the shade in some areas – even by the water 😮 I’m keeping cool IRL by staying inside and playing dress-up. Even my avatar couldn’t bear to put on more than a wisp of a dress. And what a wisp it… Read more →
Today is unofficially “get away” day. That is, the Friday before our major July 4th holiday, when millions of Americans take to the roads and drive to various summer hot spots on the coasts to spend the week doing too much sunning and drinking. It’s a day for sucking it up and not complaining about the traffic. For me, it’s… Read more →
My little white dress (LWD) from Rebel Gal, the less celebrated sister to the infamous LBD. I have always preferred the LWD, honestly. I was thankful to find it at Uber – where again, I experienced a mostly unsuccessful attempt at suitable fashion finds for my taste or blogging plans. I notice a real imbalance this time of year in… Read more →
I think I can safely say that when I finally made it over to Summerfest 2018, I didn’t expect it to produce an example of “Unsummer.” I’m kind of sorry, but at the same time, I’m doing me, as always. I don’t blog a lot of swimwear in SL because…I don’t ever do anything that would require it. I do… Read more →
