Late summer is my favorite time of the summer months. The nights are so crisp – foreshadowing what’s probably only weeks away; and the days are still so warm but you can feel the sun receding slightly. It’s just less extreme. I spent the weekend down at my parents’ house on the beach – which is pretty much heaven –… Read more →
You can say this is the formula I default to when left to style something on a hot and stormy weekend. The formula is neutral and when it works…it really works for me. I actually started with this unique head ornament from katat0nik. I love the contrast of something a little extra, with a relative monochrome overall look. My skin… Read more →
Customer service matters. It really matters. IRL and SL alike. If you have a bad experience with a brand from a customer service perspective, you’re less likely to ever shop them again. When you have a good experience, it builds loyalty that is additive (with no ceiling or cap to how much loyalty you demonstrate). Two recent positive experiences I… Read more →
Did I overdo it? I have been known to overdo the cute from time to time. This might be one of those times but it seemed apropos for the weather, which has finally turned sparkling and summerlike, without melting me. A couple of notes: I’m wearing the new head from LAQ. I’m still on that kick. My collection grows. I… Read more →
I have a “To Blog” folder that literally never empties and not because I am always adding to it. But because I wait until I can use something in the way that I had been waiting for. You might call it, the great wait. I’m guessing that’s not all that popular in SL fashion blogging 😉 Several of my items… Read more →
The early signs of spring are everywhere in Second Life. Not so much IRL. In SL, we may as well be half-way to Summer already judging by the fashion. IRL, I am still driving with my seat warmers on. I’ll take the SL version any day. I am back in my Rebel head from LAQ. Definitely my favorite LAQ head… Read more →
Let’s pretend it’s summer and good fashion can be as simple as a sheath dress from fashionably dead. Let’s pretend we don’t have to slather on inches of moisturizer to look this good, but can simply use just the new cosmetics found in our Sephora Play boxes, or in the case of SL, in our Powder Packs. I was away… Read more →
I went crazy for this sheer, bias cut skirt from fashionably dead. And I do mean crazy because there is no fatpack option for it (or any of the other inventory) at all! So, I scooped up my most likely to reuse colors, knowing full well I had left some great ones on the table. I don’t know why some… Read more →
This may be the easiest styling I’ve ever done. This hot bodysuit is by Fashionably Dead @Collabor88. Very simple, very classic, and great for layering. But not today. Today the bodysuit comes out from under all the things I usually cover them up with. In other news, I am pretty thrilled with so many great hairs out and about. Like… 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 →
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 →
You know when things feel just right? I’m celebrating those moments in weekend style when everything I wanted to create worked out almost effortlessly, thanks to the artists of Second Life. I am really loving all the simple, tailored shorts and trousers, relaxed fits, and effortless summer style the season affords us. More isn’t always more when it comes to… Read more →
I say this a lot – like over and over – but to me, “beauty” is when things are imperfect. Give me wild, real brows and freckles or beauty marks all day er’day. Give me bright, real faces and less airbrushing. So Like I said… The truth is, perfection is boring ^^. In a world where we can literally be… 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 →
