You know how I said I wasn’t that inspired and in general, I wasn’t finding much inspiring me inside SL fashion? Be careful what you wish for. This gown from Belle Epoque is incredibly inspiring from every angle. More Snow White & the Huntsman than everyday SL layercake gown, I absolutely adore it. I mean, how could I resist? My… Read more →
TGIF! Much of the Eastern US is experiencing a short but very dramatic January thaw. At least for 48 hours before the next arctic freeze sets in. I took this opportunity to go a little ragtag with my Friday style, since I don’t have to bundle up quite as much. I love pulling beautiful mangos, mints and cherry reds from… Read more →
I love the bright idea behind my turquoise scarf and hat, paired with more neutral staples. The hat/hair combo is another item from the grab bag New Years gift from Ryvolter (and its other brands). I wish the hat could be separated from the hairstyle, because it’s so good. My skin is just released from Fiore for LeLutka and it’s… Read more →
This bag is literally my grab bag, part of the “grab bag” of New Years gifts from ryvolter/vivenine/fiore. The gifts are a virtual treasure trove of inventory including hair, apparel, accessories (like a couple of my all time favorite SL-made RL bags such as this one) and shoes.That means they’re making room for lots new inventory on the store shelves!… Read more →
My first of two precious metals is a dress I took a chance on from a designer I wasn’t familiar with and have never blogged before. Safira offers the “Lucie” dress, which comes fitted for Slink and Maitreya, and includes a lace and an opaque version, in a wide-range of colors. I like an oblique cut IRL and I love… Read more →
October’s Powder Pack for LeLutka mesh heads was just released and this one gets a much more enthusiastic reaction from me than September’s. I was particularly taken with the eye makeups from The Face. Very high quality and diverse colors and styles. Actually there are several makeups that I’ll have to make sure I mention in subsequent posts. Other items… Read more →
Even when it’s dark And not a bit of sparkling Sing-song sunshine from above Spreading rays of sunny love Hang on Little Tomato by Pink Martini xoxo Read more →
May I just say how much I didn’t expect to like this particular new “May” head from LeLutka as much as I do. Like so many of you, I am playing with the new LeLutka Bento heads and they are masterful. But for a diehard “Simone’r”…can they sneak into my rotation? From a functionality perspective, no one – it needs… Read more →
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 →
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 →
Going a little bit back to basics today. Jeans, light spring trench and the one thing that makes anyone feel amazing – new shoes! I am wearing several “new to me” brands that I have never tried before, and I particularly like the heels from Noir. Such a good price for a 12-color HUD. And while I like the coat… Read more →
Please spare me any more renditions of laced “gladiator” sandals and “rompers” this season, if possible. I know these seem to be super popular in SL but … there are seriously 30+ different versions out right now and I cannot figure out why? How did I miss the origins of these two polar opposite trends that appear only in Second… Read more →
Sunday style = 2 parts casual and comfortable, 1 part tailored. I love these trousers. I love them so much I have them in all colors (except green – I do not like green!). I need them in white, please, SPIRIT! Make it happen! This is my Sunday style and it all centers on my comfortable but tailored trousers (more… Read more →
I’ve had a little change of heart re: subscription boxes. Well sort of and sometimes. Let me explain. I don’t really subscribe in general to subscription boxes in SL. I have tried Luxe Box (fun to unbox; some great content; good price) and now I have tried Powder Pack (for LeLutka only). I have also spent a lot of time… Read more →
I’ve been a little bit on a roll blogging lately. I’m really enjoying one or two new items here and there, while revisiting older inventory. It really makes blogging more fun – and Lord knows, we all need to find fun. I recently discovered that Mudskin has what I assume is a sale going on, because every single LeLutka applier… Read more →
