in case you were wondering

In case you were wondering why my avatar looks extra glowy, it’s because she’s wearing a mix of new BoM glow layers from MILA. Incidentally, I messaged the creator when I didn’t receive the purchase over the weekend and when I discovered it also couldn’t be redelivered. The creator quickly “hand delivered” my purchase to me with a short note of apology. It makes me happy when a brand I am already loyal to provides great customer service too. It ensures I keep shopping there.

Yes, I have completely stopped shopping at several very popular brands after bad service. I skip right over them – just like IRL.

My look was another unplanned experiment with a new tiered lace skirt (also picked it up in a different style pack too) and pretty halter top from (fd). Am I going to milk a cow or have cocktails? Only my avatar knows.

My beautiful ponytail is from Not Found and HURRAY, the creator now includes a numbered color chart so it’s much easier to match your hairbase with the corresponding HUD-controlled ponytail part. Another example of GREATLY improved service. THANK YOU! This seemingly small thing made me so happy when I opened the Fatpack.

Now as per my usual nutso schedule, I am leaving again for another week+ away. I don’t know if I will be back before I leave Sunday, so if not, enjoy a long Memorial Day weekend in the US and a safe, joyful weekend elsewhere!

simply had to have it

I can probably count on one hand the number of times in the last year I have been excited enough about a single release that I prioritized logging in specifically to check it out. This was one of those times. This brocade textured day suit by Zaara was calling my name, as if my avatar was the one going off to a Mother’s Day brunch and not her RL typist. It’s just beautiful – though I wish it had a longer trouser option too.

Either way, I simply had to have it.

Suit by Zaara, Skin by leLAPEAU

My new BoM skin is another stunner by leLAPEAU. My lower quality snaps here do not adequately translate the truly incredible creamy complexion on “Calla.” Zoom in and see what I mean when you demo. Oh and note, I added my own favorite freckles to further personalize so those are not part of the skin package.

I’m entering into an especially busy couple of work weeks – even nuttier than usual – so not sure how often I will be around. Then again, SL has always been a great place to decompress for me so we shall see if I can use it as needed now!

onto the next

I cannot even tell you how hard it was to take off the skin I have been wearing and loving for weeks. If I had to choose one skin for my avatar to “live in” out of the current thousands in my inventory, it would be that one by amara beauty. I’m obsessed! BUT, we need to keep it moving around here. So it’s onto the next (though I did add that skin to my Folder of Fame so I can see if I love it as much as I do now in a few months). I’m now wearing Voglia.

culotte?
jort?

My look is – as ever – a bit of a mixed bag. I love this belted top from Bauhaus in navy. Instead of wearing it with the shorts it is sold alongside, I finally found a use for these culottes – is that still a word? I think that’s how I would describe these jeans (though technically, according to the item in my inventory, they are actually “jorts”). In fact, this belted top would probably also look great with these ancient beauties (no longer available – rip). I will always love those most.

I am leaving for a long work trip and probably won’t have time to blog again before I skedaddle Sunday. Apparently I’m onto the next IRL too.

safe mode

Aurun Sweater
ISON Jacket

My avatar is in safe mode today. I am not sure why I ended up dressing my avatar exactly as her RL typist most days but here we are. Blazers, jeans and heels (or ballet flats more recently) have long been my go-to IRL. It’s very safe mode for me.

My avatar’s hair is by Moon, my “new”, very old favorite. I love practically everything she releases these days. This is a style I missed or skipped somehow.
