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!
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.
xoxo

“They call me Mellow Yellow Elie” and just like the original song, this new brand in SL is actually a true blast from the past. Mellow Elie is now also home to the best high-waist jeans in my inventory; absolutely no comparison. None. Nada. The details are truly *chef’s kiss*
Emma Gilmour – the avatar whose RL typist I have followed for many, many years IRL – is the creator behind the laid back, wearable, but elevated brand of uniquely stylish staples. If you have been around Second Life for as long as some of us, you might know her creative work from Sand Shack Surf Co. (a truly cult following long ago) or Mon Tissu (I still have several perfect envelope clutches and a hat that I will never delete), amongst other projects.
I picked up fatpacks of the trousers (this cream color is available in the fatpack only) and the boots, which are PBR-enabled and amazing. Obviously I am first wearing them in the fiery orange but there are bold and standard colors – plus they come in two wear options, with boot “shaft” and without, so you can wear them seamlessly under jeans.
Fatpacks are expensive $$$$ in comparison to some other brands but I feel strongly these are worth every L$. I did notice that the tops/jackets available do not yet have a Legacy Perky fit option. I’m hoping for that soon(tm).
If you haven’t already been, I recommend you stock up on L$ before you TP over to Mellow Elie.
