I mentioned in my last post that I picked up a skin at Mesh Body Addicts that I am completely and utterly smitten with. In fact, I am experiencing a similar reaction to this one. And of course that’s because it’s the same creator: alaskametro. There is something so beautifully unique, interesting and real about alaskametro skins. 100% smitten once… Read more →
Can you feel that first hint of autumn when it creeps into the evening or overnight? I can. Even in July. This morning IRL I started mentally shopping for transition styles, which of course led me to doing the same in SL. This is where I ended up on this cool and fall-like day in Boston: a nod to fall… Read more →
Well I spent alllllllll morning at the press preview of Hair Fair (thank you, Sasy and HF team!). I shopped; I dropped some serious Lindage; and I hauled home fat lootz! I am going to show you some of my favorites in several parts (because there is a lot)! That’s two top spots from Elikatira right there and she has… Read more →
This is my RBF. Yes, Resting Bitch Face. But it doesn’t have to be, as you probably know if you have been following the release of the new Bento head from LAQ. In typical Gillian style though, I really have to let new animations grow on me. Sometimes they never do. Or sometimes they become as core to the head… Read more →
Elika is someone I have known for a decade 😮 If you don’t know her, please let me be a little hyperbolic for a moment. She is incredibly witty, funny, gifted, beautiful, patriotic, and most importantly, a dedicated and amazing mother. I adore her. I also happen to adore her hair in Second Life – obviously – so with much… Read more →
If you happen to be a follower of runway trends then you know metallics, and copper in particular, are big trends in fashion this season. Quite honestly, who can keep up? It’s always “fashion week” somewhere! Regardless, I do love metallic rose golds and copper tones. So warm and summery and something sorely needed on another rainy day in Boston.… Read more →
L’etre has a new Fiore applier out called, “Medusa.” Perhaps an odd name choice for a gorgeous new applier. But when I saw the previews, I immediately had to try her (shown in Golden tone). I have been wearing several L’etre appliers lately and have been really enjoying the wonderfully diverse selection. I do mean wonderful and I do mean… Read more →
The romantic in me will always be searching for tulle skirts, and tasteful, crystal beading, and graceful ribbons. Back when I was blogging the first time around SL, my never ending search of those bows was well documented. I don’t really do much Kawaii and I don’t RP as a kid, I just really love the addition of a graceful… Read more →
The Book of Daniel is a special fundraising event to bring relief and aid to a man fighting cancer and his family. I do not know Daniel, but I have enjoyed his creations from Zerkalo since my return back to SL. More than 120 designers have come together to support his care – offering 50%-100% of all purchase proceeds going… Read more →
While I listen to Sia’s new single The Greatest on repeat (so good), I am doing a short and sweet post. I am wearing three new appliers, all beautiful. My favorite is Glam Affair’s Viktoria, which is out today for FLF. I am guilty of acquiring way more than I have been blogging, but I have been itching to jump… Read more →
To curate: to select, arrange and present. Curating pieces to bring together in my own unique way is my preferred way to express myself from a fashion perspective IRL and in SL. I really appreciate SL creators who offer separates that can be curated as we see fit. For those of you who have been around SL for a long… Read more →
Just returned from my vacation to Scotland and am avoiding unpacking my bags. Instead, I am diving back in to SL fashion (as my RL clothes sit in my suitcase). As I let the jetlag wash over me, I am delighting in all the wonderful items released in my absence. While apparently I am perfectly fine leaving everything strewn around… 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 →
I am going for completely undone looks today, smack in the middle of a heatwave. I spent the whole work week in stifling Miami Beach and then came home to Boston to not much better. #firstworldproblems When it’s this hot and humid, it’s not so much just wearing less clothes as it is wearing loose clothes and undone hair. I… Read more →
Hair Fair 2016 opens tomorrow and it’s superb. So much respect to Sasy, Whimsy, and their whole Hair Fair team, for creating an easy to traverse, well laid out collection of sims to shop from. It’s a great cause and a wonderful collection of designers to celebrate. Coming from someone who hates crowds, even in SL, this is something you… Read more →
