style blog

finding the spirit

I have logged in every single day for 2 weeks. I have shopped, tried to style, changed a million times, filed things away and shopped some more. But nothing has really compelled me to style or blog. I just haven’t been in the mood. Despite this time of year, apparently I still have to find the spirit.

So naturally, instead of making progress on the massive digital pile of stuff I’ve been accumulating, I’m styling a mix of mostly ancient and sorta kinda newish. I think maybe when I have this much to go through, it can be almost paralyzing.

For 2025, perhaps I move everything I haven’t already blogged into a remote corner of my pixelated closet and start fresh in the new year. Or maybe anything older than November 2024?

Until then, I’ll be looking for the spirit. See you then.

xoxo

better to be safe

This style is inspired by the first snow in Boston this past week and new starry makeups from Santa Inc. Right on cue for Christmas.

just another girl in a sweater

As the song goes…but it fits today as I come back to Boston for a few weeks’ stretch finally. I absolutely love this (fd) sweater and the detail from the long cuffed dress shirt underneath. I’ve been meaning to wear it, and finally found a look that felt familiar but still unique.

While the whole look was inspired by the sweater, it is definitely capped off by my boots, new from Mellow Elie. They are 50% off for group members this weekend. Oh and they’re PBR (regular materials version is also included) and so beautifully done. I picked up the Tobacco color. Definitely enjoying so much of what Emma has released so far.

Meanwhile, I got home from the week and as suspected, all the “Black Friday” sales completely overwhelmed me. I only visited a couple shops and picked up a few bigger ticket items – mostly skins and hair. If I had any patience, I would shop for a new AO but I just can’t focus for long enough. I have plenty to enjoy in the meantime. Back to work tomorrow!

about tofu

You may remember my true story about Punky B Rooster, my adopted rooster IRL. No, I do not have a story about adopting a turkey named Tofu. However, it seems like something I would do if I came across a turkey in need. But still, NeutralTones strikes again – this time with a fully animated, name-able Turkey, just in time for Thanksgiving. I couldn’t resist. There’s even one for “decor” lol.

Did you notice Tofu and I are wearing the same bow? Mine is from a new hairbase/hair from Not Found and it’s one of the most delightful and annoying things I have bought recently. I picked up the Brunette and Blonde packs, which come with absolutely no key/guide to match the numbered hairbases (not hud-driven – so there’s like 15 of them in each pack) to the colors on the HUD for the attachment.

I mean…why? No really. Why? TBH, same question for all the creators not including previews anywhere in their folders of any item. It’s insane. Mind boggling.

wtf?

All that said, I am off to NYC this afternoon for the work week. Then back for a day before another week away. I am not sure if I will make it back to SL in between, so if not, Happy Tofu Day in advance.
