White Swan
I used to be mildly obsessed with the movie, Black Swan. It was mesmerizing watching as the main character struggled to maintain her sanity. Was it all in her head? Did she kill her rival? Anyway, this skin/makeup combination reminded me of the white version of the swan. The skin, new from The Skinnery and the makeups, new “editorial” choices… Read more →
Word of Mouth

Accessory Update
My rich chocolate accessories really led this look, perfect for a fall Saturday. IRL, I have been doing a lot of long skirts with booties, so recreating it – somewhat – in SL, was very satisfying. This whole ensemble would not have been possible without the delicate Tee from Canimal. I mean, talk about a perfect tucked top. It’s so… Read more →
Happy “get away” day
Today is unofficially “get away” day. That is, the Friday before our major July 4th holiday, when millions of Americans take to the roads and drive to various summer hot spots on the coasts to spend the week doing too much sunning and drinking. It’s a day for sucking it up and not complaining about the traffic. For me, it’s… Read more →
Lara Hurley Skins
I am showing two new system skins from Lara Hurley, Dani and Rie. I still get really excited when a skinner I love puts out new system skins. Until we can all have custom mesh heads or there are more ways to customize the mass market options, there’s still the potential “I look like everyone else” factor. I believe that… Read more →
Catwa Mesh Head: Jessica
After a lot of back and forth in my head about what I want in a mesh head and what I don’t prioritize, I decided the quality of the new Catwa Mesh Head was worth it – and especially as there are so many good makeup appliers that are already available for Jessica. Out of all the mesh heads I… Read more →
Editorial: What the Market will Bear
There’s more movement in the mesh head market with a surprise (to me) new entrant – Catwa. The Jessica mesh head is at a bit of a higher price point than other heads so you’re not going to see it everywhere, at least to start. I have tried the demo (above) and like it quite a lot, so it’s something… Read more →
Belleza Mesh Body: Fresh Start
So as we know, Belleza updated their mesh body and included a lot of tweaks to their HUD, as well as MANY great new features. I was looking for a few very key improvements, so all the extras are super welcome. For me, the most important updates I was looking for were: Better neck skin matching with their own skins… Read more →
Body Conscience
I love some of the new body conscience items at Fameshed this round. This first dress is new from Glam Affair. While there are great colors available, I loved this pale creme against a tanned, freckled skin. I’m also showing some very old items today: jewelry from Muse and bouquet from Paper Couture. I don’t think you can even get… Read more →
Undeniable Connection
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 →
Drifting into Summer
Here in Boston, summer has arrived. I’m celebrating with colors that are maybe less than summery :p. Like I talked about here, I’m very into things I can break up and wear as I like. This handkerchief top from miss chelsea is simple and very well done, and I love that it’s not attached to anything (although there are bottoms… Read more →
Alena
This is Lara Hurley’s first contribution to the LeLutka mesh head market. Alena is shown here in the Milky tone (the lightest available). I think Alena is absolutely beautiful. Shown here on my Lotte head, the pack comes in your chosen tone with an applier for all 6 available mesh heads. There are 4 eyebrow options for each type of… Read more →
