My first of two precious metals is a dress I took a chance on from a designer I wasn’t familiar with and have never blogged before. Safira offers the “Lucie” dress, which comes fitted for Slink and Maitreya, and includes a lace and an opaque version, in a wide-range of colors. I like an oblique cut IRL and I love… Read more →
Early this morning in Boston we had our first frost of the season. When it finally arrives it takes your breath away after so many hot days, even well into Fall. I was inspired to dress with that light ice in mind so I slipped into the palest, frost-kissed skin. And, do you recognize my bow adornment once again? You… Read more →
May I recommend you take a break from rushing around, TP’ing, clicking and unpacking hundred of items at a plethora of events? No? Well OK, but in your frenzy to acquire all the shinies, don’t miss what is one of the best releases I have seen in a while. And with a big gulp of fresh air, you can only… Read more →
I love this power pairing of skirt suit and sleek boots. I rarely wear “outfits” that can be separates because it’s more fun for me to break everything up BUT this jacket was too perfectly “cut” for its pencil skirt pairing. Plus the blue is so beautiful. There’s something really satisfying about a look that is both powerful and powerfully… 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 →
October’s Powder Pack for LeLutka mesh heads was just released and this one gets a much more enthusiastic reaction from me than September’s. I was particularly taken with the eye makeups from The Face. Very high quality and diverse colors and styles. Actually there are several makeups that I’ll have to make sure I mention in subsequent posts. Other items… Read more →
I went crazy for this sheer, bias cut skirt from fashionably dead. And I do mean crazy because there is no fatpack option for it (or any of the other inventory) at all! So, I scooped up my most likely to reuse colors, knowing full well I had left some great ones on the table. I don’t know why some… Read more →
Do you know what a “Willow Pack” is? How many of you are that old school? I’ll wait xD… A Willow Pack is another name for what most everyone knows today as the “fatpack.” It was named for the one and only Willow Zander, a friend and a fellow blogger who has been out of SL for a while now.… Read more →
This “prairie style” look from sYs made me nostalgic for my old Gunne Sax dresses from early childhood (does anyone else remember those?). They were sort of a mix between Laura Ingalls and Laura Ashley, so this ensemble is a much more modern take on the easy, comfortable “prairie style.” But regardless of what you call it, can we agree… 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 find myself really short on time (again). Work and life have collided in a profound way this week and I don’t expect to be able to post again before Sunday at the earliest. So for now, a short order post, with a beautiful short order dress with details that are anything but short on style. I will be behind… Read more →
I decided to go retro today. Well, a little retro anyway. And yes, my necklace is a “Q” which is as close as I could get to “G.” I wasn’t going to spend any more time (or $Lindens) trying to get ONE letter out of that damn machine, lol. I love the detail however. I recommend a good zoom in,… Read more →
It’s been so cool in the mornings that I’ve been wearing light sweaters every day until about lunch time. But I love it, in both lives! This great hat from SAGA came from a new (I think?) event, and I felt like it was a real diamond in the rough there. Super cute and it made me glad I checked… Read more →
That fall feeling arrived this morning in Boston. Crisp, cool and not a cloud in the sky. It inspired me to really mix up some of my brightest earthy fall colors. Colors that you might not think ought to go together, but IMO, they very much do. Love! I love everything about this time of year (except Hurricanes – for… Read more →
