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 →
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 →
I can remember a time when I didn’t put a lot of thought into using bags for my blogs in Second Life. This was back in the days long before mesh, hell, before anything other than carrying what were essentially shoe boxes on your arm. No really. It’s so nice to be able to not just blog, but regularly actually… Read more →
I am going to keep this very short because I feel like fewer words better represents my headspace right now. There’s a lot going on in our world, and I find myself introspective, worried, and somewhat emotional in the wake of so much sadness. But fashion is very therapeutic for me and love is love is love! Anywayyyyyy, I have… Read more →
Vibrant pinks and the palest blushes play happily together in this little ensemble of dresses, available from various events around Second Life. If you follow me regularly, you know that I don’t do many shorter, flouncy dresses, but I do some. I couldn’t resist the harmony of hues here, and of course I am particularly fond of the criss-cross spring… Read more →
Part II of my top picks at Skin Fair continues, this time focusing on Fiore, one of my newer recommended head lines. There are several applier releases from Fiore at Skin Fair, as well as other creators for the 5 Fiore heads. For my purposes, I picked two of Fiore’s own offerings: Doll and Taylor. Two totally different skins with… Read more →
We didn’t have much of a winter in Boston this year, which is fine, considering last year. The shift has started though – and temperatures are expected to top 70 degrees here this week 😮 In honor of climate change, I am breaking out shorts very early. It’s not quite warm enough for this today IRL but soon, very soon.… Read more →
I love everything about this style. Super smart, comfortable and still feminine. It did make me realize however that there aren’t enough multi-purpose blouses in Second Life. Most of them are prepared to be worn with a particular outfit, so it’s actually a lot harder to layer and mix than it used to be. I wouldn’t go back to the… Read more →
I am kicking off the New Year with a post that embodies two of my favorite stylings, Girlie & Glam. Thankfully the creators of Second Life offer plentiful inventory for both categories. Today also kicks off my HUGE inventory purge. I have a number in mind I want to get it down to, so I will be ruthless. I actually… Read more →
The new series of Lip Potions from The Skinnery are right up my beauty alley. Firstly, I love the word “potion.” Secondly, the rich colors are just gorgeous. Who doesn’t love a matte lip in fall or winter? Yum. The newest version of Lip Potions are exclusively for Catwa mesh heads, available at The Chapter Four. I was so inspired… Read more →
If you follow my blog, you know I love a deep navy blue. I pretty much live in this color, especially in fall and winter. I feel like it’s my spirit color actually 😉 I get a fair number of comments and notecards that people sometimes find my style “boring” or “too conservative,” especially when it comes to colors. I… Read more →
I haven’t worn my LeLutka mesh heads in a while. They are still the most well-made heads on the grid with the most effective ways to extend their wear with so many gorgeous appliers from dozens of skinners, but for me, I need new ones to get excited again. Once I see something *everywhere* I personally tend to wear it… Read more →
I knew I would eventually end up doing this post. Despite my boredom around some shorter, “girly” dresses in Second Life, these dresses are all exceptions for me. Why? Extraordinary construction and/or textures you can almost feel. The top of the Dreamy Dress from Pixicat at Collabor88 is textured in a way that I can almost feel the fabric if… Read more →
Collabor88 for July is open and it’s quite good, particularly if you like mermaids and starfish 😉 For me, I found some great staples for my wardrobe that I will definitely reuse. Though they may have nothing to do with “under the sea,” there’s always something for everyone at this event, not to mention absolutely great prices. I keep crashing… Read more →
Like I did in Q1, I am in the process of doing the great quarterly purge of my inventory. In great contrast to my first years blogging, I am dead serious about keeping my inventory properly managed, organized and mostly, only containing items that I will actually use regularly. So, I always start with hair. Here are my TOP 10… Read more →
