Devil’s in the details

If you spend time really looking at what you’re wearing in SL, it’s remarkable the level of detail and realism you can find. I spent some time doing that with this dress from Lumiere, which at first blush is a pretty, delicate lace fitted dress. But there’s a lot more to it when you dig in. Read more →

Younger

IRL we all want to stay young looking, right? I know I obsess about this and buy all sorts of skin care and see all kinds of specialists that will aid in fighting off age when it comes. But in Second Life, I feel strange looking too young if that makes sense at all. I love trying all kinds of… Read more →

Oliver Twist(ed)

This outfit is slightly Oliver Twist inspired, but with a twist of red you could say. I loved the newsboy pants from Fashionably Dead and wanted to include something a little more unexpected. I dug around in my “new but not used” inventory and found this great hair from Olive, that I believe was a FLF offering around Christmas. Read more →

Bus stop, wet day, she’s there, I say…

You know the rest of the song! I don’t photoshop my snapshots from SL. I am not really artistic in ways outside of personal aesthetics and putting things together, whether decorating in my RL home or decorating myself 😉  In SL, I have always just shown the things I wear as I see them in the world. That said, I… Read more →

So me…

When I put an outfit together – in RL or in SL – I am always drawn to clothes that I can feel feminine and still comfortable in. There are outfits I post here that I wear (or would wear) in my real life (although right now in Boston there is literally 6 feet of snow on the ground), even… Read more →

These boots

I love them. And when I love something, I buy them in too many colors. You can never have too many of your favorites, in my opinion. These are by Just Design, available at Fameshed. Read more →

Pop of color

One of the ways I express my style offline is to include small pops of my favorite colors into my daily wear, most often through accessories, so as not to overwhelm with one color. The pop I’ve included here is Rowne’s Vittoria Leather Tote in powder (Feb Collabor88) in an otherwise muted outfit. The bag is similar to the one… Read more →

Event Addiction

Things have changed in SL in every way since I left and returned. But one way that literally has me wondering when it changed is the event-based shopping experience. When I was an active blogger there were very few events that we all wanted to be at. Hair Fair and Shoe Fair were the big ones, I think. It could… Read more →

Part Deux…

Hi, I’m Gillian (IRL too) and way back when, I was a SL fashion blogger at this same address, although that content has long been swallowed up now. No one other than real oldbies will remember me but I was fortunate to have had a wonderful community to share with and learn from, and a host of talented creators to… Read more →
