Quick on the heels of my very short 2016 wish list, I have been sniffing around the events in the new year, looking for items that really strike my fancy. Oddly enough, only a few things have grabbed me. Some great hairs, select appliers, and accessories here and there. Have the winter doldrums stolen my zest for shopping? No, I… Read more →
If anyone else remembers Benetton, then you might remember the United Colors campaigns that were so ahead of their time. Today it’s normal to see diversity celebrated in major media, but back in the 80s and 90s, not so much. But Benetton embraced the beautiful differences in women of every size and shape, color and ethnicity. These ads made a… Read more →
One of the things I have most enjoyed over the last year of my return to Second Life and blogging has been embracing a large variety of mesh heads. First I was skeptical, even resistant. Now, it’s one of the most fun parts of styling for me. I am still attached to my own headshape, of course, but it’s been… Read more →
I do love party dresses in both lives, and these are two of the best new ones in my inventory. I also LOVE bows. Elika of Elikatira knows this and it has not faded as I have matured in any way. If you want me to buy or wear something, just add a bow 🙂 And no, I do not… Read more →
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 am one of those freaks of nature who don’t really like red. It’s a color I almost never wear – in either life. The only time of year I will even consider it is around the holidays. And even then, usually only on my nails or a scarf or clutch. I don’t even like red roses 😮 But, I… Read more →
Taking an outfit that I could potentially make “too cute” and instead, make it feel a bit more sophisticated was just what I was looking for today. I pretty much love everything I am wearing, although the skirt on this set from Zenith @ Kustom9 is a tad too short for my general, everyday tastes. Even so, I love the… Read more →
I have logged on and off very quickly over the last several days. I haven’t slept well. Like so many of us, I am so distressed. It’s hard to act “normally” when the world feels so upside down. Blogging somehow felt empty; like I should have something profound to say. But all I can say is, when horror is upon… Read more →
Halloween is around the corner and Thanksgiving looms only weeks later. We’re entering Deep Fall here in the US. It’s still not time for snow or heavy coats just yet xD so I put together some of my recent favorites that fit with the season. Personally, if it could stay like this all year round, I would be quite happy.… Read more →
Beige isn’t boring to me. Not IRL and not in SL, where sometimes subtle colors or designs go overlooked. It’s a staple that can be worn in any season, except maybe the Christmas holidays? Even then…I might still wear it as a winter almost white 🙂 I would just like to say that I especially covet the skirt from OVH… 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 loved this simple dress from COCO and every time I went to add something, it looked wrong. So I added almost nothing – just a ring – and it felt perfect. Sometimes, I guess minimal is more. I felt like the stars of the look were really the skin applier from Lara Hurley and hair from Tableau Vivant, both… 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 →
…a change in my style is so refreshing. Yes, this isn’t my usual, everyday style, but Second Life makes dressing so much fun when you’re feeling like a change. I built my looks all around my favorite Glam Affair skin probably of all time. Sia – or Sia II to be exact. This was a FLF offering last week and… Read more →
