it’s a start

I’m not sure I fully agree with the bag that it’s all you need – but it’s a damn good place to start. Shame I can never eat just one doughnut…

I picked up much of what I’m wearing at this month’s Kustom9. Most notably, my head and held accessories are all new from LaGyo – appropriately named, “Gillian.” Thank you for making a set so perfect for my avatar and her RL typist. PS, I also love sheet cake <3

Also new are my recreated for SL Miu Miu ballet flats (which I own IRL in white patent leather). I had to grab the fatpack because the colors and sock options were too good not to. Incidentally, these look better on digital Gillian than her RL counterpart. The new dress is annoyingly not available in my preferred Legacy Perky size – but then again, I guess with this shape, it doesn’t really matter. I love the easter egg like colors available in the hud. I probably have 6 or 7 of practically the same dress from this creator. No one can stop me.

And with that, I am off. Hopefully the sun comes out after a couple days of rain.

if at first you don’t succeed…

…just press “refresh” over and over again. My website – DeuxLooks.com – has been broken or unreliable at best for 5 days now. It stops loading or takes 20 minutes to load one simple image. Apparently it works fine for some people…I’d like it to work well for me again -_-

I have started and re-started this entry over the course of 3 days. TBH, I don’t know if I will get through it.

Originally, this entry was titled, “Simone” because this Skin Fair 2025 Skin from Misa, worn – as always – on my Inez head, looks just like the LeLutka Simone head from years ago. Remember her? Man, I loved that head. Not as much as Korina (RIP), but close. Come to think of it, I’ve been wearing Inez for…when my website works again I will search for how many years. EDIT – 4+ years on and off. Mostly on!

Now the most pressing question is: Will this save? Hell, will this post?

If at first you don’t succeed…pour a cocktail.

im at the fair

I’m still at Skin Fair and I’m buying up a whole lotta inventory. The next SF skin I’m nuts about is from perennial favorite The Skinnery. “Amrita” is truly, truly stunning and reflects a style I wished for while taking the recent Skinnery brand survey. I mentioned how much of a fan I am of skins like “Indira“ and other diverse ethnicities. Fact is, I would permanently open my wallet for more like these. Gorgeous.

My outfit is new from Bauhaus at Collabor88 and bag (fatpack ofc) is new from Pare. I haven’t seen anything like this tunic style suit in SL probably ever? Plus, given the imminent change in seasons, this is probably that last time I will use fur accessories for a while.

What are you loving in SL fashion and beauty now?

autograph

I mentioned previously I was most excited to find new to me brand, Autograph @Skin Fair, after discovering it at a different event. Well, the inventory did not disappoint. My avatar is wearing Irina, which I picked up in the “fatpack” of 5 tones for less than 1000L. There’s perhaps a bit too much dodge over the left eyelid and arch but I still love the face and especially lips. Overall, I have such high expectations for this brand in the future. Exciting!

Elsewhere, some of you will be annoyed that I am blogging a skirt that is no longer available. I was looking for something, anything that would go with this sweater length (and this is the untucked version too…) and this very oldie but goodie was the best option for me. Not to rub it in, but I have this skirt by OVH in all the colours it was originally offered in (in classic sizes only!!!). Now that’s a brand I miss often. These days there are so few options to pair shorter tops with anything classic on the bottom.

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

xoxo
