I am currently packing my bags and getting ready to skedaddle to Scotland for a couple weeks for some exploring! I have never been to that part of the UK, so I am very, very excited! There is so much I wanted to blog before I left but technical difficulties got in the way (as a result, the quality of… Read more →
Almost as quickly as the heatwaves arrived, they went. In their wake, a cool breeze, an almost imperceptible shift in the sunset, and a fleeting greeting from the beginning of the end. The waning days of summer are almost upon us. For your shopping pleasure Fortunately our choices in fashion and beauty in Second Life are not waning in any… Read more →
You know when things feel just right? I’m celebrating those moments in weekend style when everything I wanted to create worked out almost effortlessly, thanks to the artists of Second Life. I am really loving all the simple, tailored shorts and trousers, relaxed fits, and effortless summer style the season affords us. More isn’t always more when it comes to… Read more →
I have been working on a bunch of longer posts this week but time got away from me and I haven’t had a moment to finish them. So today, here’s quite literally just a quickie. But a goodie. A quickie goodie? If you do nothing else today in Second Life from a shopping perspective, do yourself a favor and pick… Read more →
I am going to keep this very short because I feel like fewer words better represents my headspace right now. There’s a lot going on in our world, and I find myself introspective, worried, and somewhat emotional in the wake of so much sadness. But fashion is very therapeutic for me and love is love is love! Anywayyyyyy, I have… Read more →
Thank you to Stories & Co. for putting out a perfect Spring dress at Collabor88. The simple Chloe dress is – IMO – the ideal length for this time of year. I mean, it’s not lost on me that we’re in a virtual world and all, but um, not every woman wants to wear everything in ultrateenymini sizing…I’m just sayin’.… Read more →
I have been scarce on my blog because I am stuck in a bit of a rut. A fashion rut. It’s interesting because IRL, the very opposite is true and I quite happily have been shopping and styling my socks off. It’s been a beautiful, if a little chilly, Spring in Boston. In SL, I have dozens of things that… Read more →
I have been away for the last week+ and am in serious need of some SL catch up time. However I don’t see it happening today as life is kinda crazy, so here’s a fashion and beauty round-up of some of the the items I think are really worth picking up. Like, really. Beauty First up, I have been on… Read more →
#SquadGoals Soooo many new appliers are out this week from Glam Affair. I am going to be a little hyperbolic and say that they are my favorite makeups from Aida for months and months. I was inspired to form a little Girl Squad a la Taylor Swift. Normally I do a lot more chattering, but I think I will just… Read more →
I feel like Bold & Beauty only recently entered the mesh head applier market? Maybe this isn’t accurate, but this is my perception. I went all kinds of hyperbolic at Skin Fair with their Lien applier for Catwa and I wear it all the time. I was definitely hoping for a Fiore offering, and it arrived at The Seasons Story… Read more →
It’s one of those days where less is more. Where crisp whites, bright pops of color, and clean, minimal styles win me over. Also winning me over is the new applier from Glam Affair at Collabor88. I like it on my Gwen head best. Tangerine isn’t a terribly popular color in SL I don’t think. I happen to love it,… Read more →
Vibrant pinks and the palest blushes play happily together in this little ensemble of dresses, available from various events around Second Life. If you follow me regularly, you know that I don’t do many shorter, flouncy dresses, but I do some. I couldn’t resist the harmony of hues here, and of course I am particularly fond of the criss-cross spring… Read more →
Part II of my top picks at Skin Fair continues, this time focusing on Fiore, one of my newer recommended head lines. There are several applier releases from Fiore at Skin Fair, as well as other creators for the 5 Fiore heads. For my purposes, I picked two of Fiore’s own offerings: Doll and Taylor. Two totally different skins with… Read more →
Yesterday I said, “I can’t see getting too many appliers…” All I can say to that is LOL. I was super impressed with some of the new appliers, primarily for Catwa heads. I did also pick up some new system skins, but I’ll start with my Skin Fair Top Picks for Catwa in Part I… In terms of Catwa appliers,… Read more →
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 →
