Sunday Style

Sunday style = 2 parts casual and comfortable, 1 part tailored. I love these trousers. I love them so much I have them in all colors (except green – I do not like green!). I need them in white, please, SPIRIT! Make it happen! This is my Sunday style and it all centers on my comfortable but tailored trousers (more… Read more →

Editorial: My change of heart…

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 →

A bit undone

Today called for something a bit undone. Natural, comfortable and casual; like when everything isn’t firing on all cylinders but is quite happy to be like that. I know I have been MIA this past week or so, but I go through spurts of being inspired and then completely bored by SL fashion. It only takes one small thing to… Read more →

Brows

These brows. Just stop it, ok? They’re so amazing. I recently had my own RL brows microbladed. So worth it! By the way, if you like the bold brows look in SL, then be sure to also play around with the eyebrows included with your LeLutka bento head, because they are completely wild and awesome too. These brows can be… Read more →

A penchant for lace

Lace: so sexy, decadent, and seductive. I cannot believe I used to hate this fabric IRL. It’s true. It used to make me itch – but I didn’t know that was only because it was cheap and I was 16. Times have changed. In my opinion, no other fabric understands women’s bodies like lace. Also, it doesn’t have to be… Read more →

I like to be perfect

“I like to be perfect but I don’t like perfection.” – Alber Elbaz How true, Mr. Elbaz (one of my most favorite designers and fashion personalities – famous for hating to be seen as a “personality” and hating to have his photo taken). What does this have to do with what I am wearing? Well, I guess I find “perfection”… Read more →

I am not a bot

This week I got a note from someone that said, “I miss when you looked more original. Currently you just look like another LeLutka bot.” I can assure you, I am not a bot. But if I were, I wouldn’t mind looking like this? Still uniquely my own I have talked about the reasons I am trending more towards wearing… Read more →

Adam n Eve @ Skin Fair

This is Ella, a very beautiful skin for LeLutka mesh heads by Adam n Eve’s sachi Vixen. I can remember blogging sachi’s creations wayyyyyyyy back when. It’s great to see her still so active and successful in Second Life. I am showing the skin in “EB” tone, and with LeLutka Simone’s eyebrows, rather than the provided eyebrow textures. I love… Read more →

Sweet Cate

Now that Skin Fair is in full swing, I’m really checking out the wear-ability of all my new skins and one new head. Cate. From LeLutka, of course. I am also wearing a skin from Candy Doll that I didn’t expect to like, but I do! I originally waited to wear Cate after getting what I can only describe as… Read more →

Skin Fair Part II: YSYS

This is Kirsten from YSYS, another new skin applier for LeLutka at Skin Fair 2017. One of the best things about Skin Fair for me is really expanding my skin portfolio but also, starting fresh. What??? You mean, you actually delete older skins/appliers and start over? Yes, yes I do. Don’t twitch when I tell you… I don’t even box… Read more →

Skin Fair 2017: What a difference a year makes

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 →

My own harajuku style

Full Harajuku style isn’t something I play with often, but I do love to “Gillianize” trends to make them suit me personally. Have you seen Baiastice’s new Tattoo dress? It has koi on it. I love it, and especially the bright, urban colors and sheer arms and bodice. OK I “Gillianized” the look a bit – a lot, as I… Read more →

A case for champagne

I’m making a case for champagne with this dress from Azul. I have never worn inventory from this creator before, and the Zaria dress is unique, with bell sleeves and a satin overlay bodice. Very, very pretty and so fun to style. It also comes with flexi parts (not shown). I remember when flexi came to the grid (yes, my… Read more →

Shapes

I was messing around with shapes as I tried on the new mesh head from LeLutka this weekend. It got me thinking about my shape and how it has changed – or hasn’t changed, as it were. At the end of the day, however I present my avatar in Second Life, it is version of me that I choose to… Read more →
