As the snow continues to fall here in Boston, I sit quietly listening to Joni Mitchell. You know the song from Love Actually, where Emma Thompson’s character unwraps a Christmas gift from her husband, and it’s not the necklace she saw him buy? That went to his secretary -_- I have always loved the song Both Sides Now so very… Read more →
There’s something to be said for a minimalist Friday, particularly at the end of an exhausting work week AND a major blizzard. Oy. My minimalist Friday includes a simple chignon from Tableau Vivant. Hello, my beautiful bow. You should be named Gillian. However your name is “Bow updo.” /rekt Cozy Comfort Coupled with a cozy, comfortable sweater and structured tweed… Read more →
Exquisite. This dress from Dead Dollz just whispers exquisite, delicate. You can wear it with a full gown base or with a bodysuit, letting the lace really stand out. The back is delightfully detailed and sexy; the front, demure or risque. It’s billed as a bridal gown, but seeing as that isn’t something in my plans atm, not every gown… 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 →
I’m wearing winter whites today, inspired by a breathtakingly cold day in Boston. I needed something to inspire some warmth, ok? In addition to my whites, I hit up Tram yesterday for FLF and found a great sale I had no idea about -_-. Most fatpacks are deeply discounted. I feasted on that for sure but I did note how… Read more →
I don’t really do lingerie in Second Life very often, but this, I loved. L-O-V-E. From Dead Dollz and available at The Liaison Collaborative, you can change the ribbon colors and the small embellished gems. I’m also wearing new hair from Little Bones. I love this long flowing style but there is a little bit of a strange texture thing… Read more →
“Rabbit, Rabbit” for good luck on any new month. Double good luck for the New Year! One of the things I am going to try in this New Year is to spend less time futzing with my blog posts. That is, taking a million snapshots and then writing a ton for every post. I don’t know if it will stick… Read more →
What a difference a year makes! Another year nearly came and went without the list of what was, but luckily I made it just in the nick of time. Here’s my short, opinionated take on things I loved and things I could do without in the New Year Some of my most favorite things from 2016 in SL Milan appliers… Read more →
“You pays your money…and you takes your chances.” That old idiom is Second Life’s Luxe Box in a nutshell. The unboxing is especially fun IMO, but you do have to be OK with the roll of the dice so to speak. And then, not complain about what you get because that is the game. You Pays Your Money and You… Read more →
My favorite kind of frost nips at my nose and makes my cheeks rosy, but stays far away from my toes thank you very much. I loved all these new appliers for their fair, rosy glows – almost tinged with frost. What’s new in appliers? So much new in the overflowing world of Second Life appliers. You would think that… 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 →
If you’re anything like me, you have hundreds (?!!?) of appliers for your bevy of mesh heads. If you’re someone who prefers to stick to one head or one skin, you might be surprised at those numbers. But for me, it’s just a normal part of my Second Life. I am an equal opportunity consumer and I flex that muscle… Read more →
My fall palette includes a sweet red lip and smoky eye on one day, and a taupe lip and precise winged eyeliner the next. Glam Affair is one of my favorite skin makers (shocker??!!) – and Aida has really embraced the Catwa line of mesh heads to expand her appliers. I mean, you can find new offerings at virtually every… Read more →
