style blog – DeuxLooks

discreetly opulent

I asked ChatGPT (my “assistant” is “Richard” btw) for a few good ways to describe dressing to suggest wealth without logos. I had already used “quiet luxury” in an earlier post, so he suggested “discreetly opulent.” I think it works. My avatar looks loaded.

And yes, that’s the iconic Hermes picnic Kelly bag remade in Second Life. It’s a pretty good remake too, IMO. An original IRL will set you back about $80,000 USD. Good luck finding one, tho.

Oh and yes, uploading pictures to my blog is still borked so I can only link to blurry Flickr photos. I’m truly seething.

crankypants

Hey guess what, my blog won’t let me upload images at all again. I really need to get off this terrible hosting service. UGH. I lose all motivation to blog when I can’t have things look the way I want them to.

^{Let me start over…}

/removing crankypants to remind you that Hair Fair finishes up on Sunday. This next Hair Fair fave is from Ade. It’s a beauty – though I have never understood the “basic” vs “extended” packaging options. It’s like a whole folder of hair you don’t use if you buy the style pack. Weird! But, you still need to buy it of course. It’s Hair Fair!

For the time being, I have replaced my crankypants with new culottes from David Heather that are worthy substitutes for my all time faves (no longer available). It’s true, I wish there was a classic navy option and a true cream staple, as the DH standard color palette is a little mis-aligned for me. But still I was absolutely delighted to fatpack them anyway. Love!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I will leave you to these blurry, Flickr-hosted embedded snaps, and gtf off my blog before I legit delete it all forever. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Have a good weekend! xoxo

*_{Hair Fair delivers stunning styles for the best cause!}*

Hair Fair 2025 is in full swing. I picked up several styles and this year, “Vesper” from Exile gets my top spot. Unfortunately my blog troubles prevented me from my usual event preview – but there is no less love for the most important beauty event of the SL calendar.

Hair Fair runs through June 15.

^{_{By the way, I had to dig really deep into my inventory to find jewelry to wear with this look. In the end, I went back to some well-loved items from Yummy, which always work. Remember when I said we had a dearth of well-made bags in Second Life? Well it turns out the real gap is quality jewelry!}}

Wigs for Kids makes such an impact on young people’s self-esteem. It’s a privilege to support this organization through SL and the insanely dedicated team that puts Hair Fair on every year. Hats off! (and wigs on!)

wedding season!?

I know I’ve been gone for a while, but it’s wedding season!

Ok that’s not why DeuxLooks has been dark, but it’s better than the truth, which is not fun for anyone to hear about – or me to talk about. The one thing I will say is that I cannot upload pictures to my blog. Like at all. I’m not taking it well.

So while I nerd rage about another several weeks with a broken blog, I am attempting to post a look I actually styled weeks ago where I was particularly excited about this truly stunning dress, which marked the first PBR-only offering from Jack Spoon. If I read the release notes correctly, the brand now designs exclusively with PBR textures (which can somehow be removed so everyone can still enjoy it). I wish every creator would follow suit! We’re ready, right?

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to see if this will even post. -_-
