Hair Fair 2017 – are you ready?

Is your inventory ready for the deluge of content that is Hair Fair in Second Life? Hair Fair 2017 kicks off this weekend and I am sooooooo excited to go hair wild during a preview on Friday. I’ll be blogging my picks that day! To get organized, I suggest joining the Hair Fair Demo Group! Just copy and paste the… Read more →

Summer Short

Like the rest of the SL fashion set, my summer short is a great pixie cut courtesy of Tram. How are you guys liking Uber this round anyway? My favorite thing of all? New skin applier from Spirit. I don’t love the moles on the body appliers’ decolletage (available separately at their man store) and Madina comes with no makeup… Read more →

When in Paris

I mentioned I am soon off to London and then Paris. First for work; then for fun! I have to tell you, I am not particularly stressed about how dangerous it may be to travel these days (I mean, you gotta live your life!) but I am concerned about my ability to pack effectively. What I wear while roaming the… Read more →

This is my RBF

This is my RBF. Yes, Resting Bitch Face. But it doesn’t have to be, as you probably know if you have been following the release of the new Bento head from LAQ. In typical Gillian style though, I really have to let new animations grow on me. Sometimes they never do. Or sometimes they become as core to the head… Read more →

Sunday shopping in both lives

I am leaving in a few weeks for London and then Paris \o/ so I spent today doing some Sunday shopping. I meant to post this before I left but…oops! In Second Life, I am wearing the still relatively new Bento head from fiore, coupled with a fresh new skin from The Skinnery. I would *love* to see an applier… Read more →

Some Disenchanted Evening

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 →

Pretty Primrose

I love a pretty primrose yellow. I think it’s probably an especially tough tone to get right in a pixelated world and often looks too mustard-y in my favorite windlights. But all my pretty primrose accessories here in this Springy look are anything but “mustard-y.” I <3 a sunny day – or an outfit that makes me think of a… Read more →

elikatira in Second Life

Elikatira returns

Elika is someone I have known for a decade 😮 If you don’t know her, please let me be a little hyperbolic for a moment. She is incredibly witty, funny, gifted, beautiful, patriotic, and most importantly, a dedicated and amazing mother. I adore her. I also happen to adore her hair in Second Life – obviously – so with much… Read more →

Copper Tones

If you happen to be a follower of runway trends then you know metallics, and copper in particular, are big trends in fashion this season. Quite honestly, who can keep up? It’s always “fashion week” somewhere! Regardless, I do love metallic rose golds and copper tones. So warm and summery and something sorely needed on another rainy day in Boston.… Read more →

Add something?

Clearly I didn’t follow the sage advice by Coco Chanel who said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Instead, I decided to add something. Or many somethings. I was an a roll 😀 Minimalist is my normal vibe, but I was really feeling the beautiful Easter egg rose color of this new… Read more →

Powder Pack

Powder Pack hits the spot

Powder Pack for LeLutka really hit the spot this month for me. You may recall I was still on the fence with this subscription box and whether I would continue with it after this third LeLutka pack. Once I saw the list of participating creators, I was in. For the most part, I was not disappointed. Smart Spend Not surprisingly,… Read more →

Second Life Shopping List

On my shopping list

I have to be very brief today so here is a look at a few things on my shopping list. Led by this summery wrapped top and light jacket, I admit it’s a feast of neutrals. I love the look and am always happy when enfant terrible pops up with another example of what it does so well – soft,… Read more →

I love a good sale

I love a good sale. And I wait for months and months for really good ones at my favorite sites or stores offline. Right now IRL I am stocking up at net-a-porte’s seasonal sale and in Second Life, I’m stocking up at Rowne. I think the sale probably ends today (!!) but it’s worth a stop over if you have… Read more →

Foundational Staples

I quickly browsed the wares at Uber this morning and at first I was like, “meh…” But looks can sometimes be deceiving – at least in this case. I probably walked away with more foundational staples than I have from any event in a while. Foundational staples meaning items I will use over and over (and I really will…I mean,… Read more →
