I know after the winter many of us had, I should not be looking forward to fall so much but tbh, it’s all about the clothes and makeups. Fabrics are slightly heavier, colors richer, hems longer. Good stuff in Second Life and ofc IRL! I am so happy that we’re nearly past the part of summer requiring basic sundresses, sandals… Read more →

Inspired by…
Today I was inspired by the new Lalora hair from Elikatira available at We <3 RP. I’m wearing a lot of grey and white hairstyles lately, and I love them against a tanned skin, which was a FLF skin from Glam Affair called Artemis. *I really* love this skin and it’s the first time I have seen it. I normally… Read more →
Some Stuff I Love
I feel like I am having to do this a lot – where there’s so much out there that I am loving, I need to do small compilations of things I am enjoying. Honestly though, it’s nice there’s a lull in events right now; it let’s me catch up and enjoy! In fact, I don’t need or plan to buy… Read more →
Hair Fair’s Last Licks
I believe today is the last day for Hair Fair 2015. I still have about 20 hairs in my inventory to wear O.o, and I will get there – but it clearly won’t be in time for the Fair to still be open. I am quite sure most people have been and shopped exhaustively, but just in case you missed… Read more →
Belleza Mesh Body: Fresh Start
So as we know, Belleza updated their mesh body and included a lot of tweaks to their HUD, as well as MANY great new features. I was looking for a few very key improvements, so all the extras are super welcome. For me, the most important updates I was looking for were: Better neck skin matching with their own skins… Read more →
Faces of Belleza
I am such a big fan of Shyla’s work at Belleza. There is incredible depth to her faces – particularly around the eyes with flecks of light that are so realistic. Have you seen Amelia yet? She’s brand new and stunning. I am showing the pale tone – makeup 9, with gorgeous grey and eggshell eyes. I also added freckles… Read more →
Extraordinary
One of the reasons I came back to blogging in SL is that there is so much incredible artistry here in fashion. It makes me very happy to celebrate it. This extraordinary ensemble from Enfant Terrible is masterful really. Can you imagine what something like this would cost IRL? The gems on the headband and chest piece literally glisten. The… Read more →
So Sweet
Everything I am showing in this post is so sweet. I am going to need a self imposed holiday from SL if this keeps up as there are just sooooo many delicious items out that are impossible to resist. Like this hair from Olive at the Kawaii Project, paired with Belleza’s Eva, available at TLC. I am also trying new… Read more →
Signs of Spring
Some of my favorite new skins/makeups for Spring! All so different, all so pretty. From left to right: Mudksin’s new Lovely Bell; Glam Affair’s new Katra makeups; and Belleza’s new Beth full release. My dress is from a new to me brand, Breathe. There’s a release of this simple sheath dress that comes in a host of springy colors at… Read more →
On the bright side
I have said a few times that I really don’t like gacha very much. It’s fun-ish but can be frustrating. However, that has never stopped me from trying for something I have my eye on. I am epically stubborn. After so many tries, it becomes more about my stubbornness than my desire for whatever it is. Case in point, the… Read more →
To top it off
Hats. I love wearing hats IRL. In SL? Very hit or miss. Unless they come with the hair (and even sometimes when they do), they can be hard to work with. And when they come rigged to the hair, options for styling are very specifically limited to the type of hair. However for me, anything is better than the blockiness… Read more →
Dreamy
Dreamy is a bit how I feel styling these pieces. The feeling you get from everything – the casual cargo pants, the undone hair, the loose fitting tunic. And of course the jewels. The magnificent jewels from Mandala, which I chose to dress down. Pretty dreamy. The cargo pants are by a designer totally new to me – Addams. They’re… Read more →
Granted
I wished for a pale fatpack from Belleza and it was granted when Uber opened today. I was THRILLED that I could have every make-up (all 8) in my tone in one pack!!!! and the price is too good not to get your whole tone. “Jia” is so beautiful; absolutely magical actually. I am wild about her. The make-ups are… Read more →
Top 3 reasons things get stuck in my inventory
As I prepare space in my inventory for Shiny Shabby (yay!!!!)…I take a hard look at what I haven’t worn and consider why…why do things get stuck in my inventory? #1 – Where would I wear it? I love the look of whatever it is but for whatever reason, it won’t be seen beyond my attic skybox. It’s SL so… Read more →
Spectrum
There are skins I wear regularly that are so distinct, no one would ever wonder what I am wearing. Glam Affair is one. Belleza is another. Both these brands do impeccable work when it comes to creating varied and distinct skin lines, so expertly crafted it’s no wonder they are some of the grid’s most popular faces. But within each… Read more →
