White Hot

I need to be especially brief this morning. Despite every intention to spend more time here this weekend, I was in and out like a white hot flash. I focused today’s look on this long, white coat – which is very friendly to mix \0/ – from Belle Epoque @Collabor88. The dress and accessories are all navy (ofc) and once… Read more →

Ready, Set, Shop

I spent the week in London for work and halfway through my Sunday night flight I realized, “HOLY F, I LEFT MY MAKEUP AT HOME!!!!” Not just like, a lipstick here or there, but my primer, foundation, setting powder, bronzer, concealer. You know, the most important stuff! I landed, went right to my hotel and napped for a couple of… Read more →

Winter Shorts

These are my winter shorts. Yes, that’s a thing. For me, anyway. They’re super cute and can be fatpacked \0/ by fashionably dead @Uber. The rest of my sporty, fully accessorized by Bauhaus Movement (which recently reopened in a new location) look, flowed from those sweet winter shorts. Incidentally, I completed a MASSIVE LeLutka head applier declutter this weekend. It… Read more →

Creature Comforts

Decadent crystal and pearls, fur (faux of course), silk charmeuse, elegant stockings and heels. All my creature comforts in one look as we move deeper into fall. I started with this stole, which is technically new but actually quite old, if you know what I mean. I must have a dozen just like it in my inventory but for some… Read more →

Pure and Simple

It’s hard to improve on a classic sheath, but IMO, this new Lois dress does. It’s actually harder to do simple well in SL – because everyone seems to want the ‘in your face’ aesthetic. Stories&Co. does it best, pure and simple. I’m also really into these makeups from Glam Affair on the new Elanor skin, also at Collabor88. Coupled… Read more →

Cake Pop

I was putting this look together, thinking of all the sugary things I love to eat – but mostly don’t anymore. And I thought, “Cake Pop!” That’s what I look like today. A scrummy, delicious, cutesy cake pop. I haven’t been by the May Fameshed yet but I know it’s their anniversary and there’s probably a lot worth having. Later… Read more →

Skin Fair 2018: This is Jumo

This is Jumo, a skin brand I have never heard of or seen before. I found the “Brooklin” skin at Skin Fair, of course. I was flying by, doing another sweep of the South Sim during the press preview and floated by an ad on the side of a building that caught my attention. That almost never happens. You know… Read more →

Skin Fair 2018: I’m Smitten

You don’t have to go far to see all the Skin Fair 2018 previews around Flickr and your blog roll. This is the start of mine and it’s led by alaskametro’s “Cora” for LeLutka heads. One of only a few LeLutka appliers that really wow’d me at Skin Fair so far. Not all designers were set up yet, so there’s… Read more →

set the tone

Set the tone

Some of my favorite shade combinations of crimson and lemon set the tone – unexpectedly maybe – for a fresh, cold day. I love the coat and scarf combination from Belle Epoque. You can’t see the boots, but they’re sweet too. I happen to be watching The Crown right (Season II, natch) and you might see something like this in… Read more →

standout separates

Standout Separates

I put together a casual winter look made up of some simple, but standout separates. We had our first snow in Boston this weekend, so it seemed apropos to dress with that in mind. Incidentally, the very first snow I saw this season was in Austin last week. Yes, Texas y’all. It never snows there! WTF? I actually got stuck… Read more →

pre-winter whites

Pre-winter Whites

Is it too early for a fresh winter whites look? OK, let’s call it Pre-winter then? Call it anything – I am so smitten. And you know, I am not a gowny girl. But I am a hopeless romantic and this just does the trick. I used the word “smitten” intentionally. If you’re a regular reader, then you know that’s… Read more →

One small thing

You know how that one small thing can make your look for the day? My one small thing today is my lipstick. A gorgeous matte red by alaskametro; the perfect contrast to my most favorite Sunny skin, which is now available in the palest tone 1. Both of these beauty items are new at ForMax, an event benefiting SL content… Read more →

Indian Summer

It’s been so cool in the mornings that I’ve been wearing light sweaters every day until about lunch time. But I love it, in both lives! This great hat from SAGA came from a new (I think?) event, and I felt like it was a real diamond in the rough there. Super cute and it made me glad I checked… Read more →

that fall feeling

That fall feeling

That fall feeling arrived this morning in Boston. Crisp, cool and not a cloud in the sky. It inspired me to really mix up some of my brightest earthy fall colors. Colors that you might not think ought to go together, but IMO, they very much do. Love! I love everything about this time of year (except Hurricanes – for… Read more →
