It’s Friday and I am so ready for the weekend! Let’s do this! I am taking a short but very fashionable (in my mind) trip to NYC this weekend. It’s going to be crisp and cool. I have packed accordingly and am mirroring that in SL before I go. Some of these items can be found at the new round… Read more →
I knew I would eventually end up doing this post. Despite my boredom around some shorter, “girly” dresses in Second Life, these dresses are all exceptions for me. Why? Extraordinary construction and/or textures you can almost feel. The top of the Dreamy Dress from Pixicat at Collabor88 is textured in a way that I can almost feel the fabric if… Read more →
Like I did in Q1, I am in the process of doing the great quarterly purge of my inventory. In great contrast to my first years blogging, I am dead serious about keeping my inventory properly managed, organized and mostly, only containing items that I will actually use regularly. So, I always start with hair. Here are my TOP 10… Read more →
I was inspired by several items I have collected over this last week to focus a post on making a statement. My necklace from Shi is very much a statement necklace, although I have done a masterful job of hiding some of it :p I also love the new ring set from ieQED at We <3 RP. You don’t have… Read more →
I make no apologies for being a lover of the preppy. In SL a lot of times you can see that style come through in the items I choose to work with. I definitely favor simple, tailored pieces that can be mixed and matched and I would choose a tailored blouse and shorts or chinos over pretty much anything else… Read more →
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 →
An undeniable connection = Chemistry. And Chemistry is one of my favorite hair brands in SL. It’s a shop that gets less press than it should really, so when you find new releases there, it’s like you’ve found something very special. I am also wearing a new tunic from Nylon Outfitters with perfect elephants <3, necklace by Kunglers and a… Read more →
I look forward to Kustom9 every month, pretty much for one reason. It usually means new poses from the likes of Kirin (above), Sari-Sari (below) and more. I am a confessed pose addict and will hardly ever turn up my nose at new ones from my favorite creators. Some of the most natural poses from Bauhaus Movement were what actually got… Read more →
…the ease of a T-shirt in a very expensive dress, said Karl Lagerfeld. This unique (and expensive) dress from GizzA will be worn only for you all because I would have nowhere to wear it in SL. I am not wearing the hydrangea chest accoutrement it also comes with because I looked like Zsa Zsa Gabor, although it’s quite spectacular.… Read more →
This is the one of the new three new LeLutka heads I was most liking the look of in the previews. As usual, none of my screenshots are post processed in any way outside of basic cropping. On the far left you see Stella “straight out of the box.” The eyelashes are not my favorite, so I have been hiding… Read more →
When you’re just coming back to SL, you don’t know who anyone is in terms of cross brands. You just enjoy whatever is out there and quality always comes to the front. I have worn many items from Celoe and had no idea there was any relation to a brand – in various forms – I have enjoyed for nearly… Read more →
Splashes of color everywhere. I love this look from David Heather. The arms are fixed in the pockets, which creates a nice streamlined look in photos but can be a little awkward just shopping around. I’m also wearing eyeshadow from Angelica, found at the Wayward Hunt (the Angelica mainstore is one of the most lovely I have seen in SL… 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 →
