Do our avatars have their “good sides” like their RL typists? Does one profile dominate the other? I honestly feel like my avatar has a good profile and a weaker one. Oddly it’s the same side as my RL one. I wonder if that means – like so many things – that it’s all in my mind 😮 This is… Read more →
#SquadGoals Soooo many new appliers are out this week from Glam Affair. I am going to be a little hyperbolic and say that they are my favorite makeups from Aida for months and months. I was inspired to form a little Girl Squad a la Taylor Swift. Normally I do a lot more chattering, but I think I will just… Read more →
I feel like Bold & Beauty only recently entered the mesh head applier market? Maybe this isn’t accurate, but this is my perception. I went all kinds of hyperbolic at Skin Fair with their Lien applier for Catwa and I wear it all the time. I was definitely hoping for a Fiore offering, and it arrived at The Seasons Story… Read more →
It’s one of those days where less is more. Where crisp whites, bright pops of color, and clean, minimal styles win me over. Also winning me over is the new applier from Glam Affair at Collabor88. I like it on my Gwen head best. Tangerine isn’t a terribly popular color in SL I don’t think. I happen to love it,… Read more →
I have crankypants on. They are so uncomfortable that I am not showing you. But seriously, when it’s April and Mother (f-ing) Nature decides to give you 8 inches of snow, crankypants are a given. Also, so very little is inspiring me in SL fashion/beauty that I really haven’t felt compelled to blog. Just crankypants all around. The couple bright… Read more →
I am sure many of my fellow bloggers are RL fashionistas too? I know I have been labeled a bit obsessed IRL, but fashion and beauty, in terms of personal expression, are two of my great passions. One of the joys of being all grown up is being able to explore and indulge my interests full on. Though some covet… Read more →
Vibrant pinks and the palest blushes play happily together in this little ensemble of dresses, available from various events around Second Life. If you follow me regularly, you know that I don’t do many shorter, flouncy dresses, but I do some. I couldn’t resist the harmony of hues here, and of course I am particularly fond of the criss-cross spring… Read more →
I just learned that Boston is expecting a foot of snow on Sunday. LOL. So yeah, I decided to focus on Spring colors today. Please, let it Spring (instead of snow)! Thank you in advance. I am still quite obsessed with the new Lien applier from Bold & Beauty available at Skin Fair. I mean I haven’t really taken it… Read more →
My final little compilation of Skin Fair and my top picks, an ode to system skins. I happen to LOVE system skins, so please don’t stop making them! Quite honestly, the most favorite skins in my inventory are NOT appliers…yet. My three top system skin picks from Skin Fair this year are from Tuli, Lara Hurley and Bold & Beauty.… Read more →
Part II of my top picks at Skin Fair continues, this time focusing on Fiore, one of my newer recommended head lines. There are several applier releases from Fiore at Skin Fair, as well as other creators for the 5 Fiore heads. For my purposes, I picked two of Fiore’s own offerings: Doll and Taylor. Two totally different skins with… Read more →
Yesterday I said, “I can’t see getting too many appliers…” All I can say to that is LOL. I was super impressed with some of the new appliers, primarily for Catwa heads. I did also pick up some new system skins, but I’ll start with my Skin Fair Top Picks for Catwa in Part I… In terms of Catwa appliers,… Read more →
I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →
We didn’t have much of a winter in Boston this year, which is fine, considering last year. The shift has started though – and temperatures are expected to top 70 degrees here this week 😮 In honor of climate change, I am breaking out shorts very early. It’s not quite warm enough for this today IRL but soon, very soon.… Read more →
I was supposed to be leaving for England and Amsterdam this coming Sunday but illness will more than likely keep me home. It’s been a rough winter in terms of getting sick constantly, but hey, Spring is on the way or so I hear. Trips not taken… While I usually kvetch about The Arcade every season, I will say that… Read more →
Ethereal is one of my favorite words, and when done well, one of my favorite stylings in fashion. Romantic, dreamlike, beyond the earth…Love. I so appreciate all the items at Uber that really live up to ethereal. Absolutely beautiful and it seems even structured items can be ethereal. I enjoyed this round of Uber a lot, and I haven’t said… Read more →
