Prim and Proper

I felt a little bit prim and proper in these ensembles, without even meaning to. I was just snapping some recent releases that I liked and voila, apparently I am on my way to church…or a tea party? I love the new hairs from Lamb at N21. Overall, I didn’t really feel too many of the clothing offerings there, but… Read more →

Overwhelmed!

There is just so much out right now that a serial shopper can easily become overwhelmed…or homeless. There’s especially some great items, if like me, you can’t resist a pretty bow. The first dress is perfect mint from Cocoroni. This is only a gacha item and comes only in your choice of XXS, XS, or S, so fit can be… Read more →

Happiness is…

…a good hair day. There are droughts we go through in SL fashion depending on what designers are putting out. For me, around Shiny Shabby, I had a dearth of new hair to wear other than 2-3 that I loved, but plenty of amazing new clothes. Now, I find that I have more hair than I know what to do… Read more →

All Business

Back when I started SL in 2006, there was a big movement to bring RL corporations into the “game.” I guess it was mildly successful for a short time, but in the end, it wasn’t really a business platform. During that time though, there was all sorts of “business wear” (a lot of it was terrible – made by these… Read more →

Spectrum

There are skins I wear regularly that are so distinct, no one would ever wonder what I am wearing. Glam Affair is one. Belleza is another. Both these brands do impeccable work when it comes to creating varied and distinct skin lines, so expertly crafted it’s no wonder they are some of the grid’s most popular faces. But within each… Read more →

A Single Rose can be my Garden

Rose from Mudskin, one of the prettiest new skins for me at Skin Fair. There are 7 makeups (from memory) available per tone; this is #1 in the Sunny tone. The skin comes with many different mole and cleavage tattoos, 2 versions of the skin (one lightly freckled, as above) and 10 different eyebrow versions, plus a no brow version.… Read more →

Journey

This is Roberta from Swallow, another new skin from Skin Fair. First let me say that I am wearing freckles that do not come with this skin. You can see a clean shot of Roberta at the end of this post. I added them for the simple reason that this skin does not come with any tattoo options. It comes… Read more →

Howdy

And now for something completely different… There’s a western inspired collection out at Overhigh made up of everything from hats to skirts to ponchos and cloaks. The whole collection is quite good and I’m showing a few pieces here. This skirt type was really popular last fall when both Burberry showed a line of Prorsum ponchos on all the celebrities. It’s… Read more →

Context

I mentioned in an earlier post that I am totally unfamiliar with the TV series Twin Peaks. I understand it’s coming back to Showtime next year, so maybe I will get a taste then. Admittedly, I am confused by the theme at this round of Collabor88, but only because I have no context. One thing I am never confused about… Read more →

u.f.o.

I raved about how much I loved the items I picked up from u.f.o at Shiny Shabby. I wanted more but had only seen them at a few events off and on. After some searching, I did find the main shop. I picked up a bunch of items that I rather love. Simple, so well made, and beautifully subtle. They… Read more →

So me…

When I put an outfit together – in RL or in SL – I am always drawn to clothes that I can feel feminine and still comfortable in. There are outfits I post here that I wear (or would wear) in my real life (although right now in Boston there is literally 6 feet of snow on the ground), even… Read more →
