I avoided the Valentine’s Day craziness \o/ . I did that intentionally. It’s decidedly not my thing. Much more my thing? Mixing red and peach. I know, it’s not an obvious pairing but check it…this coat from Pixicat is amazing. Swipe right —> xoxo Read more →

Palatable Florals
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 →
Fresh
Just last week I was freshly squeezed and now I’m just fresh. I love the crisp, fresh Spring look built around tailored trousers from United Colors. This is a brand I don’t think I have blogged more than once or twice prior and only accessories. These “Taka” spring trousers are super cute with their brass buttons and smart cuffs. I… Read more →
And now for something completely different
I have been lamenting for a while that it’s been difficult for me to evaluate or even properly demo any of the Bento mesh heads from Genesis Lab. Until this one. So, now for something completely different, I am wearing Sofie, new from Genesis Lab. The reason this one is different for me and I am trying it? It was… 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 →
Ethereal
Ethereal is one of my favorite words, and when done well, one of my favorite stylings in fashion. Romantic, dreamlike, beyond the earth…Love. I so appreciate all the items at Uber that really live up to ethereal. Absolutely beautiful and it seems even structured items can be ethereal. I enjoyed this round of Uber a lot, and I haven’t said… Read more →
Two Lius
This is Liu Wen, new mesh head from Genesis Lab at Kustom9. For this gacha, you have to *really* decide ahead of time if you want to put all that money into the machine to get the one useful item. What good is a skin applier or eye makeup HUD for an Asian-head when you don’t have the head to go… Read more →
Genesis Lab: Melissa mesh head
Work, sashay, shante. ‘Cause everything looks good on you, supermodel. I feel like I am singing that old RuPaul song when I wear the new Melissa mesh head from Genesis Lab. Supermodel-ish amirite? New from Genesis Lab and available at Collabor88, where thanks to the event’s great prices, you can pick her up for less than $800L. Well worth it!… Read more →
Strike My Fancy
Quick on the heels of my very short 2016 wish list, I have been sniffing around the events in the new year, looking for items that really strike my fancy. Oddly enough, only a few things have grabbed me. Some great hairs, select appliers, and accessories here and there. Have the winter doldrums stolen my zest for shopping? No, I… Read more →
United Colors
If anyone else remembers Benetton, then you might remember the United Colors campaigns that were so ahead of their time. Today it’s normal to see diversity celebrated in major media, but back in the 80s and 90s, not so much. But Benetton embraced the beautiful differences in women of every size and shape, color and ethnicity. These ads made a… Read more →
Mesh Head Heaven
One of the things I have most enjoyed over the last year of my return to Second Life and blogging has been embracing a large variety of mesh heads. First I was skeptical, even resistant. Now, it’s one of the most fun parts of styling for me. I am still attached to my own headshape, of course, but it’s been… 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 →
Too Cute
Taking an outfit that I could potentially make “too cute” and instead, make it feel a bit more sophisticated was just what I was looking for today. I pretty much love everything I am wearing, although the skirt on this set from Zenith @ Kustom9 is a tad too short for my general, everyday tastes. Even so, I love the… Read more →
Dressing for Fall …When it’s Still Hot Out?
It happens to be almost 75 degrees here in Boston today. It’s beautiful, blustery with remnants of a passing hurricane, and bursting with fall color. But it’s not like I can walk outside with my favorite cape or I would broil. So, how am I dressing seasonally appropriate when it’s so warm out? Like ^ that. Maybe I would add… Read more →
Finally…Fall Arrives
I have been pushing the seasons a bit maybe. Up until today it’s been high 80s and 90s still in Boston. Today it’s finally Fall, low 70s and crystal clear. Absolutely perfect weather but a day late for all the apple picking we did yesterday! I loveeeee the fitted suede dress from Fishy Strawberry. One of my favorite pieces recently… Read more →
