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 →
TGIF! TGIfriday! I have been meaning to talk about the upcoming changes at fri.day. No, not this, my favorite day of the week; but the brand in Second Life, best known currently for its 24×7 packs of colorful, often whimsical shoes. Soon, it will be officially “friday” (no dot) and that is the least of the changes. As such, my… Read more →
Today’s style called for a complete restyle of these lived-in flared jeans I’ve had for years. With newness from Stories & Co. by Flowey, I love the casual, later summer look. It was not lost on me how the new Annabelle Bodysuit @Uber comes in a perfect nude fatpack. In my mind it will be the “Gillian pack” for how… Read more →
I mentioned I am soon off to London and then Paris. First for work; then for fun! I have to tell you, I am not particularly stressed about how dangerous it may be to travel these days (I mean, you gotta live your life!) but I am concerned about my ability to pack effectively. What I wear while roaming the… Read more →
I am leaving in a few weeks for London and then Paris \o/ so I spent today doing some Sunday shopping. I meant to post this before I left but…oops! In Second Life, I am wearing the still relatively new Bento head from fiore, coupled with a fresh new skin from The Skinnery. I would *love* to see an applier… Read more →
I quickly browsed the wares at Uber this morning and at first I was like, “meh…” But looks can sometimes be deceiving – at least in this case. I probably walked away with more foundational staples than I have from any event in a while. Foundational staples meaning items I will use over and over (and I really will…I mean,… Read more →
I’m not a big pattern or florals person. I would pick a solid over a pattern 6 out of 7 days of the week. But I love this floral print dress from Valentina E. For me, this is an example of palatable florals. It’s also one of my absolute favorite silhouettes, form fitting and feminine. It’s a quick break in… Read more →
These brows. Just stop it, ok? They’re so amazing. I recently had my own RL brows microbladed. So worth it! By the way, if you like the bold brows look in SL, then be sure to also play around with the eyebrows included with your LeLutka bento head, because they are completely wild and awesome too. These brows can be… Read more →
Full Harajuku style isn’t something I play with often, but I do love to “Gillianize” trends to make them suit me personally. Have you seen Baiastice’s new Tattoo dress? It has koi on it. I love it, and especially the bright, urban colors and sheer arms and bodice. OK I “Gillianized” the look a bit – a lot, as I… Read more →
My grandmother always used to say, “as long as you start with good bones.” She didn’t just mean my cheekbones hidden by baby fat at the time; she meant the “bones” of everything – fabric, fashion, houses, gardens, and especially horses. Good Bones Meaning, as long as the foundation is solid, the rest was immaterial. I am not sure what… Read more →
I have never been the color red’s biggest fan. IRL, I rarely wear it, other than accents and accessories. But then there are days like today where red is the only thing that felt right. You might say I’ve been styled with love. Styled with love I have been wanting to try this newish group gift from Maitreya. I love… Read more →
A dreamy winter day in soft, pink sweaters, minimal makeup and casual hair. I love the new Susan skin applier from Glam Affair at the Epiphany. I don’t have enough points for the Polar tone exclusives yet but I am working on it. Gacha with a twist…of control? Gacha with a twist of control While it’s true that gacha is… Read more →
Out of the Luxe Box and into my Second Life closet, helping me create looks that are both traditional and edgy; classic and sexy. This month I am trying out Luxe Box for the first time. I have to say that as suspected, I enjoyed the unboxing maybe even more than I will enjoy all the items included. That is… Read more →
I feel like “light layers” describes so many of my fashion choices. As the seasons change, so many great opportunities to mix a mid-weight shawl with a late summer skirt or a jean jacket with dressier pleats. I love the inherent casual comfort that comes from loose layers that look like afterthoughts, but really aren’t. A lot of what I… 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 →
