May I recommend?

May I recommend you take a break from rushing around, TP’ing, clicking and unpacking hundred of items at a plethora of events? No? Well OK, but in your frenzy to acquire all the shinies, don’t miss what is one of the best releases I have seen in a while. And with a big gulp of fresh air, you can only… Read more →

prairie style

Prairie Style

This “prairie style” look from sYs made me nostalgic for my old Gunne Sax dresses from early childhood (does anyone else remember those?). They were sort of a mix between Laura Ingalls and Laura Ashley, so this ensemble is a much more modern take on the easy, comfortable “prairie style.” But regardless of what you call it, can we agree… Read more →

Short Order

I find myself really short on time (again). Work and life have collided in a profound way this week and I don’t expect to be able to post again before Sunday at the earliest. So for now, a short order post, with a beautiful short order dress with details that are anything but short on style. I will be behind… Read more →

Go retro

I decided to go retro today. Well, a little retro anyway. And yes, my necklace is a “Q” which is as close as I could get to “G.” I wasn’t going to spend any more time (or $Lindens) trying to get ONE letter out of that damn machine, lol. I love the detail however. I recommend a good zoom in,… 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 →

Level of Detail

Level of Detail

From far away, it may look like I have put together another nude/beige (which isn’t boring!) look. But on closer inspection, it’s actually a study in Level of Detail. Special mention must be paid to my top and heels, both courtesy of this month’s Luxe Box. The delicately-tied Rowne top has a level of detail that shows every stitch of… Read more →

back at it

Back at it

Andddddddd I’m back. Back at it as they say. Admittedly, it didn’t take me long to slip back into “Simollian” (Simone + Gillian). But as fail as I felt about it at first – I lasted, what, 2 days? – I realized, it’s perfectly expected to be back where I feel most like me. Isn’t that the point? It’s hard… Read more →

Spirit

This is Spirit

This is Spirit. I mean my skin of course. It’s SPIRIT Skins Mao for LeLutka and you can find it @Collabor88. I have to say, I didn’t go crazy for much at this C88 Birthday round in terms of fashion, as latex isn’t as much my thing (I tried!). But, the hairs, skins, and these great jeweled heels from #Empire… Read more →

jetlag

Jetlag isn’t so bad

I am so jetlagged that I go to bed at 7:00 pm and wake up at 2:00 am. I eat all day long and my PJs are about as fashionable as I can muster. But as it turns out, jetlag isn’t so bad. It means I can catch up on the 46 shows my DVR recorded (wtf?) and style new… Read more →

Say oui!

With sincere apologies to all my real French friends and readers, I say oui! To my favorite city in the world; to my fashion dreams; and to all the adventures I hope to have this week in Paris! I am wearing some of my favorite new pieces that I thought came together for a fun, “fake French” look on my… Read more →

Sunday shopping in both lives

I am leaving in a few weeks for London and then Paris \o/ so I spent today doing some Sunday shopping. I meant to post this before I left but…oops! In Second Life, I am wearing the still relatively new Bento head from fiore, coupled with a fresh new skin from The Skinnery. I would *love* to see an applier… Read more →

Pretty Primrose

I love a pretty primrose yellow. I think it’s probably an especially tough tone to get right in a pixelated world and often looks too mustard-y in my favorite windlights. But all my pretty primrose accessories here in this Springy look are anything but “mustard-y.” I <3 a sunny day – or an outfit that makes me think of a… Read more →

Second Life Shopping List

On my shopping list

I have to be very brief today so here is a look at a few things on my shopping list. Led by this summery wrapped top and light jacket, I admit it’s a feast of neutrals. I love the look and am always happy when enfant terrible pops up with another example of what it does so well – soft,… Read more →

fiore’s First Bento Release

I am literally leaving to jump on a plane but before I go, I wanted to post the new Alura bento mesh head release from fiore. This is fiore’s first bento head and it’s currently discounted for a short time so a good idea to grab her if you like her. I like Alura, even though there is some way… Read more →
