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 →
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 →
As I wait for Windows 10 to finish its massive, gargantuan download, I bring you some items that make me happy in Second Life. First, I’ll mention that ELIKA is back \o/ and she is releasing new hair later today at Fameshed. Felicity (does anyone remember this show? I was addicted to it) is – of course – soooo pretty… Read more →
As uninspired as I have been, I was just as quickly sparked back to life by recent releases! It’s so funny how one seemingly small piece can inspire a whole host of looks. In this case, I’m giving credit to fri.day and the Harper Clogs (24×7 pack, of course) available at Shiny Shabby. They’re not so much clog-ish (a good… Read more →
My final little compilation of Skin Fair and my top picks, an ode to system skins. I happen to LOVE system skins, so please don’t stop making them! Quite honestly, the most favorite skins in my inventory are NOT appliers…yet. My three top system skin picks from Skin Fair this year are from Tuli, Lara Hurley and Bold & Beauty.… Read more →
Ethereal is one of my favorite words, and when done well, one of my favorite stylings in fashion. Romantic, dreamlike, beyond the earth…Love. I so appreciate all the items at Uber that really live up to ethereal. Absolutely beautiful and it seems even structured items can be ethereal. I enjoyed this round of Uber a lot, and I haven’t said… Read more →
I was going through all the appliers in my inventory that I haven’t yet worn and was overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. Indicible beauté! These are all various Catwa appliers. Some are shown on the Jessica head and some on Gwen. I am liking Gwen more and more after only a lukewarm start; she is quite beautiful in… Read more →
Have you all been to the new event, Whimsical? If not, you can find Miss Elika’s newest hair offering there. Sofia’s a gacha but you really can’t go wrong with any of her packs tbh. I love that there’s a perfectly matched hairbase available for every single tone available. Whimsical is large and takes a while to traverse, plus it… Read more →
I love big, bold brows. I even added that request to my short wish list. Thank you, Deetalez, for indulging me. These days, pretty much the only thing that can get me to try a new system skin or applier from a creator I don’t already wear regularly, is a really good set of brows. Enter Esther, a new system… 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 →
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 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 →
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 →
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 →
