I tend to stick to fair tones in skins, maybe because that’s what I am IRL. But I do love going darker too. The tones from The Skinnery – Toffee, Mocca, etc. – are so incredibly done that I enjoy wearing them as much as my favorite champagne or milk tones. My clothing is mostly new from some recent events.… Read more →
Hi, I’m Gillian and I suck at hunts. I have spent many hours searching the Wayward Hunt sites and failed a lot. I did finally find the skin I had been coveting from The Skinnery but admittedly, I had help from a lovely fellow hunter who helped me. We had both spent ridiculous amounts of time over 2 days trying… Read more →
TGIF! This week has been rough for me so I could not be happier that it’s coming to a close. I am ready to get comfy and casual. This ensemble from Emery came into Collabor88 a little late so not as many people maybe saw it. For me, the simple, comfy feel was exactly what I was looking for… Read more →
One of the reasons I came back to blogging in SL is that there is so much incredible artistry here in fashion. It makes me very happy to celebrate it. This extraordinary ensemble from Enfant Terrible is masterful really. Can you imagine what something like this would cost IRL? The gems on the headband and chest piece literally glisten. The… Read more →
Everything I am showing in this post is so sweet. I am going to need a self imposed holiday from SL if this keeps up as there are just sooooo many delicious items out that are impossible to resist. Like this hair from Olive at the Kawaii Project, paired with Belleza’s Eva, available at TLC. I am also trying new… Read more →
I am a big fan of ISON by Harry Hyx. There aren’t loads of releases but you can usually catch ISON at Collabor88 monthly, and it’s always something to look forward to. For the punk-inspired round, Harry offers a structured dress with loads of detail that make this particular dress a staple. I particularly like it in the deep eggplant… Read more →
In Boston, Opening Day is a rite of passage for any Bostonian. Yes, we love the Patriots, but Boston is still Red Sox country. It’s going to be glorious today – very warm and perfectly sunny so I’m especially happy. I won’t be attending the game but I am inspired to dress just as the weather dictates and keep my… Read more →
I am wearing the new face from The Skinnery, Hilde, available at The Seasons Story. I love how every face is incredibly distinct and striking, with natural brows and contoured cheeks. One of my favorite skinners in SL to be sure. To date, my favorites are Blair, Julie and Cristy, although honestly I wear every Skinnery face I have very… Read more →
There is just so much out right now that a serial shopper can easily become overwhelmed…or homeless. There’s especially some great items, if like me, you can’t resist a pretty bow. The first dress is perfect mint from Cocoroni. This is only a gacha item and comes only in your choice of XXS, XS, or S, so fit can be… Read more →
The Seasons Story opened today and for me, much like Shiny Shabby, it’s just one of those events I save up for. When I came back to SL last fall, this was the first event I went to and fell in love with. The theme this spring is The Shire and for me, there is nothing more perfect. I have… Read more →
Some of my favorite new skins/makeups for Spring! All so different, all so pretty. From left to right: Mudksin’s new Lovely Bell; Glam Affair’s new Katra makeups; and Belleza’s new Beth full release. My dress is from a new to me brand, Breathe. There’s a release of this simple sheath dress that comes in a host of springy colors at… Read more →
How people dress on their down days is pretty interesting. I mean, if you think about it, it’s easy to “dress up” when you have say, a set dress, pair of shoes and jewelry in a ready made look. It’s when we have time off – and can dress however we want – that often really shows a style preference.… Read more →
While I was trying on this lovely new Moth Wings Necklace from Ane @ We <3 RP, I decided to do a little experiment. It’s no secret I have grown very fond of my new LeLutka mesh heads despite my worries, but I was beginning to miss the customizations with my “own” head and all the wonderful items that we… Read more →
…a good hair day. There are droughts we go through in SL fashion depending on what designers are putting out. For me, around Shiny Shabby, I had a dearth of new hair to wear other than 2-3 that I loved, but plenty of amazing new clothes. Now, I find that I have more hair than I know what to do… Read more →
This piece from Enfant Terrible is dreamy in terms of texture, color and gorgeous detail. It’s clearly sexy and almost fantasy-like from the front. But, it doesn’t cover my breasts completely (wearing a mesh body) so it’s not something I will just wear around casually. It’s beautiful for photos, of course. It got me thinking about some of the things… Read more →
