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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
…a good hair day. There are droughts we go through in SL fashion depending on what designers are putting out. For me, around Shiny Shabby, I had a dearth of new hair to wear other than 2-3 that I loved, but plenty of amazing new clothes. Now, I find that I have more hair than I know what to do… Read more →
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 →
Rose from Mudskin, one of the prettiest new skins for me at Skin Fair. There are 7 makeups (from memory) available per tone; this is #1 in the Sunny tone. The skin comes with many different mole and cleavage tattoos, 2 versions of the skin (one lightly freckled, as above) and 10 different eyebrow versions, plus a no brow version.… Read more →
This is Roberta from Swallow, another new skin from Skin Fair. First let me say that I am wearing freckles that do not come with this skin. You can see a clean shot of Roberta at the end of this post. I added them for the simple reason that this skin does not come with any tattoo options. It comes… Read more →
And now for something completely different… There’s a western inspired collection out at Overhigh made up of everything from hats to skirts to ponchos and cloaks. The whole collection is quite good and I’m showing a few pieces here. This skirt type was really popular last fall when both Burberry showed a line of Prorsum ponchos on all the celebrities. It’s… Read more →
