Profiles

Do our avatars have their “good sides” like their RL typists? Does one profile dominate the other? I honestly feel like my avatar has a good profile and a weaker one. Oddly it’s the same side as my RL one. I wonder if that means – like so many things – that it’s all in my mind 😮 This is… Read more →

Editorial: For the Fashion Obsessed

I am sure many of my fellow bloggers are RL fashionistas too? I know I have been labeled a bit obsessed IRL, but fashion and beauty, in terms of personal expression, are two of my great passions. One of the joys of being all grown up is being able to explore and indulge my interests full on. Though some covet… Read more →

Let It Spring

I just learned that Boston is expecting a foot of snow on Sunday. LOL. So yeah, I decided to focus on Spring colors today. Please, let it Spring (instead of snow)! Thank you in advance. I am still quite obsessed with the new Lien applier from Bold & Beauty available at Skin Fair. I mean I haven’t really taken it… Read more →

Unconventional Beauty

I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →

Perfect Pairings

I haven’t blogged all week but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been out and about 😉 I just really wasn’t as inspired as I need to be to put things together that I have been acquiring. Until today that is. From sales and events, to items I just love from my inventory – some perfect pairings for your weekend enjoyment.… Read more →

The Scramble

I don’t know about anyone else but at the moment I am truly on the scramble to start (!!!111) holiday shopping. Once I go on official holiday next Thursday for the rest of the year, I expect to be living on the streets trying to scramble to get everything I need for Christmas. As the youngest child of a mixed… Read more →

Playing Catch Up

I am just back from almost two weeks away and am playing a serious game of Catch Up! I don’t know if/when I will get through everything I intended to blog but I will certainly try. I have missed sooooooo much and my IMs were capped on the first day so if you tried to contact me, please send a… Read more →

All Shopped Out

I’m all shopped out. In the last week my inventory grew by embarrassing amounts with all the wonderful fall wears, and skins, and hairs, and…I probably went the most nuts at The Seasons Story because it means it’s been one full year since I logged back in to Second Life after an epic break. TSS was the very first place… Read more →

Finally…Fall Arrives

I have been pushing the seasons a bit maybe. Up until today it’s been high 80s and 90s still in Boston. Today it’s finally Fall, low 70s and crystal clear. Absolutely perfect weather but a day late for all the apple picking we did yesterday! I loveeeee the fitted suede dress from Fishy Strawberry. One of my favorite pieces recently… Read more →

Transition pieces for early fall

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 →

Chignons and Updos

One of the favorite ways to wear my hair is up or back, casually in a chignon or more formally in an updo on special occasions. I put together a small compilation featuring some of my favorite new “ups” available at Hair Fair and elsewhere. I’m also wearing three different mesh heads, and had so much fun playing around with… Read more →

Before you go

  I’ll miss simple, perfect pieces like these from Mon Tissu. I guess there hasn’t been anything new at this shop for a while now, but for me, they’ve been a wonderful brand to collect from since my return. I’ll miss you! The Looks Head: LeLutka Lotte *new* Skin & Makeups: Glam Affair *new* Hair 1: Ploom Sharla Hair 2:… Read more →

Fresh

I am just back from a trip to Dallas where everything is in full bloom, fresh and lush. There’s no place like home, though. So happy to be back – and finding upon my return, even more appliers for the LeLutka mesh heads (with more heads being released soon!).  These are from New Faces, and seem to be only available… Read more →

Hello Miami

I am amused that Uber opens today with a Miami theme and I decide to go as pale as possible lol! Glam Affair indulges our love affair with Katra with new makeups for America and Arctic tones. If you’re a Glam Affair regular, you could try to resist – but likely not succeed – the beautiful eyes on each skin.… Read more →

Overflow

The Seasons Story opened today and for me, much like Shiny Shabby, it’s just one of those events I save up for. When I came back to SL last fall, this was the first event I went to and fell in love with. The theme this spring is The Shire and for me, there is nothing more perfect. I have… Read more →
