Let’s Pretend

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 →

Sheer Crazy

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 →

Out from under

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 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 →

Undone – in a heatwave

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: Quick Look

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 →

Just Right

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 →

Like I said…

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 →

A Harmony of Hues

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 →

Unconventional Beauty

I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →

Inspired

These new hairs from around the grid inspired my styles today. From tailored and casual to slightly ethereal, I just let my hairs dictate the fashion. I was particularly excited that Entwined is back at Shiny Shabby. One of my most recommended hair creators, and I *always* notice when one of those takes a break. Now, I am only missing… Read more →

The Scramble

I don’t know about anyone else but at the moment I am truly on the scramble to start (!!!111) holiday shopping. Once I go on official holiday next Thursday for the rest of the year, I expect to be living on the streets trying to scramble to get everything I need for Christmas. As the youngest child of a mixed… Read more →

A Little Dab’ll Do Ya

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 →

Beige Isn’t Boring

Beige isn’t boring to me. Not IRL and not in SL, where sometimes subtle colors or designs go overlooked. It’s a staple that can be worn in any season, except maybe the Christmas holidays? Even then…I might still wear it as a winter almost white 🙂 I would just like to say that I especially covet the skirt from OVH… Read more →

Sashaying to my own song

It’s no secret that my favorite way to dress in both lives is to mix my look up but stay true to my core style. Mixed textures, mixed tones, all of it. We all definitely sashay to our own fashion songs, which makes personal style maybe the most accessible way to assert our individuality on a daily basis, regardless of… Read more →
