This is an opinion piece that’s been rattling around my head. I have attempted to put it out there without making it War and Peace length. I very much welcome comments and all different opinions! Think about how you shop for your clothes, shoes or accessories IRL. Those brands that you’re attached to and keep coming back to. You could… Read more →
On a Sunday in the summer I usually do one of two things, housework and shopping for the coming week – or absolutely nothing. I haven’t decided what today will be yet. So I’m kicking it off in Second Life. Fameshed opened up and it seems my brief moratorium of event shopping is over. There is some great inventory, of… Read more →
I have so much new stuff in my inventory. What you see here is a collection of a few looks I put together based on all this “stuff” – all of which I really love, btw. Firstly I’ll mention that The Skinnery has just moved and there’s a new group gift in the store, plus all the basic AV skins… Read more →
For the past 2 years I have chronicled my love affair with the perfect white shirt on my Pinterest board. Nothing is more versatile to me than this one article of clothing that inspires my fashion foundation for nearly every season. Does that foundation translate to SL too? Where “ready to wear” takes on a whole new meaning and creating… Read more →
I make no apologies for being a lover of the preppy. In SL a lot of times you can see that style come through in the items I choose to work with. I definitely favor simple, tailored pieces that can be mixed and matched and I would choose a tailored blouse and shorts or chinos over pretty much anything else… Read more →
I am such a big fan of Shyla’s work at Belleza. There is incredible depth to her faces – particularly around the eyes with flecks of light that are so realistic. Have you seen Amelia yet? She’s brand new and stunning. I am showing the pale tone – makeup 9, with gorgeous grey and eggshell eyes. I also added freckles… Read more →
I try to fill my inventory with items that can be separated from their “outfits.” The only downside to mesh really is that a lot of things tend to come as “meant to be worn all together” as one look. I am less interested in that although I understand it from a dress or suit perspective. In general, I prefer… Read more →
The joys in fashion/beauty in SL often come in the quiet of your skybox or wherever you’re trying on new items. I blogged these appliers from Lara Hurley for the LeLutka mesh heads yesterday, and once again, today I was delighted to zoom in on pixel Gillian’s eyes. The eye makeups on Alena are ridiculously well done and the mole… Read more →
You really would need an enormous hat to protect your very delicate skin, courtesy of Glam Affair’s new LeLutka mesh head appliers at We <3 RP. This is the Megan Polar applier. There is also a generous gift providing all three fantasy tones for your Maitreya Lara bodies. Many of us already had the Polar applier, which you cannot find… Read more →
Like many of you, I was super excited to see the first glimpses of new skin appliers for the Undivided mesh heads. Here are three looks with YSYS appliers on Ever, Leda and Aria, from left to right. And according to Minnu’s Flickr, more mesh heads are coming xD! My favorite option with these appliers are the freckles – soooo… Read more →
I felt a little bit prim and proper in these ensembles, without even meaning to. I was just snapping some recent releases that I liked and voila, apparently I am on my way to church…or a tea party? I love the new hairs from Lamb at N21. Overall, I didn’t really feel too many of the clothing offerings there, but… Read more →
How people dress on their down days is pretty interesting. I mean, if you think about it, it’s easy to “dress up” when you have say, a set dress, pair of shoes and jewelry in a ready made look. It’s when we have time off – and can dress however we want – that often really shows a style preference.… Read more →
As we say in Boston, these dresses are wicked shaht!! That’s actually “short” outside of Boston 🙂 I don’t know about anyone else, but I definitely cannot get away with wearing short skirts like this outside of my own house IRL. I do love them in SL, though! I had a bunch of different snapshots ready with more detail, but… Read more →
I remember Skin Fair from way back when. Probably different organizers now, I really don’t know. Anywayyyyy, in classic Gillian style, I rushed in and out. I picked up 1000 demos (I only know because my inventory went up by a huge amount) and purchased a few of my “sure things” from Glam Affair, The Skinnery and Belleza. By now,… Read more →
I coveted this hat from the moment I saw it. The perfect cloche ladies hat in a delicate cream. I am a diehard Downton Abbey fan, so this was not an option not to have. I miss Sybil :/ I did not style it in period 1920s obviously. And normally you would see a tighter hair underneath, but I wanted… Read more →
