I am pleasantly surprised I am able to log-in to SL on my new laptop and even snap some styles (though I forgot to turn on high rez screenshots, I just realized). This is especially important as I really needed a quiet, non-obvious stress reliever during this especially stressful time being away for an unknown length of time. Perhaps I am not as “brb” as I usually am while away for family reasons.

Anyway, I don’t know if the quality of the snaps will be as good even when I set up the settings properly but here we are.

I am wearing the same skin from Stray Dog I have been enjoying for the last several blogs/weeks. This is one of the very few skins I have loved enough to wear again and again – and the first of this new year (all four days in). The whole look reminds me of an ancient head/skin combination from Fiori (RIP) that I loved forever. Also, it’s remarkable how far texture quality in Second Life has come.

Though my full look is more autumn than dead of winter, I was inspired by this fitted classic jacket from Boys to the Bone (BTTB) that I didn’t know existed until I went over to check out some new floods for FLF. As it happens, I had never been to their main store before and there were so many fashionable items to be had. Also, I love when – even on a single – a creator is so thoughtful to include a HUD to change or hide the shirt AND change the metal on the belt! So appreciated and worth noting.

I hope to be back before too long, and even sooner if I am inspired by new items or older ones gathering digital dust in my “to blog” folder.

BRB. xoxo

can we skip to the good part?

It’s been an especially torturous time for me and my family. I’m asking the universe, “can we skip to the good part?” I would appreciate some relief! I definitely got some joy styling this look. Sleeping in my own bed and messing about in Second Life felt good this short trip home.

I am leaving again tomorrow for at least another week. I did buy a new laptop that might run SL but we shall see. If it does, I’ll maybe do some inventory sorting or whathaveyou over the next week(s) away.

I do wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year. May 2026 bring much brighter days.

solstice

My avatar is dressing for romance on this Winter Solstice. Inspired by a new skin and classic hair – plus a glass of wine, you can see how I got here. For the first time in my life, I wrote out 13 intentions to mark the lights slow return to the Northern Hemisphere. As all good witches do (according to TikTok), I’ll burn one piece of paper each night through January 2, to set the changes I want to see in my life.

I actually had a completely different look prepared and as sometimes happens, changed directions quite dramatically after shifting one small item. I love where I ended up. And, I would LOVE to have an occasion to wear something like this IRL. Can you imagine such a night? A dream! Not one of my 13 intentions, but certainly worthy of a mention.

Happy Winter Solstice to all the other witches who celebrate <3

xoxo

all of me changed like midnight

Style two of two. I did this one while watching – unsurprisingly – the new Taylor documentary and updated Eras concert just released. I was inspired by the massive style shifts between most of her eras…

Incidentally, if you like the boots I am wearing, I noticed they are on sale this weekend – though I went full fatpack a while back and had these on before I saw them in one of the weekend sale catalogs! I miss NeutralTone’s shoe releases – though I very much enjoy my ’emotional support potato’ and ‘useless man’ companion too.

I am gone for the next week once again – and maybe longer. Wishing you all a wonderful, bright, merry, happy time doing whatever you have planned.

xoxo
