I coveted this hat from the moment I saw it. The perfect cloche ladies hat in a delicate cream. I am a diehard Downton Abbey fan, so this was not an option not to have. I miss Sybil :/ I did not style it in period 1920s obviously. And normally you would see a tighter hair underneath, but I wanted… Read more →

Biker chic?
I confess, I am not a biker chick. But can I be semi biker chic? Leave it to me to girl up the Biker’s Choice event. Sorry, but this is who I am 🙂 Read more →
Never go out of style
There really are items we wear – in both lives – that never go out of style. A well made, tailored piece of clothing – or in SL, a well textured, original piece – never goes out of style no matter the decade or century it’s modeled after! Even from far away you can tell The Secret Store has done… 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 →
Down down the rabbit hole
I was inspired by this sweet, whimsical bag from yumyums and decided it made me feel a bit like Alice…but in some kind of Victorian twist on the tale. . And in keeping with things that are slightly left of center, I bring you Watson, my owl. I honestly don’t know a thing about the show Twin Peaks,… Read more →
Over the Top
Sometimes when I go too traditional (in either life), I need to shake things up, go a little overboard, be over the top. But still be me. I mixed some bold hairs with some of the newness at Maitreya, who released dresses, tops and skirts just for the Maitreya Lara mesh body. Rawr! Pink glitter is so overpowered. The… Read more →
Can’t. Keep. Up.
You know you’re addicted to something when you have to acquire whatever it is. No matter what. You. Must. Have. It. This is how I am with Glam Affair skins. This appears to be a common problem with a lot of us. I also have this problem with hair, but it’s not just one designer >.< 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 →
Taking risks
Anna Wintour is one of my heroes. She is fascinating and mysterious, unless you believe everything written in The Devil Wears Prada. One of the things I love about her is that no matter what she is wearing (I mean aside from her sunglasses), she will look strong but still very feminine. She doesn’t consider herself a powerful person, yet… Read more →
Tangerine Sweet
One of my favorite colors is orange. A sweet tangerine orange. It’s a color that suits those of us with fair skin and dark hair, in particular I think. It’s a hard color for everyone to wear, but an easy one to accessorize with no matter your coloring. As Springtime creeps into SL (it hasn’t arrived at my RL location… Read more →
Making it fit
I have worn several pieces from Seul over the last couple of months and have been generally happy with them. Very on trend and modern. This is the Emile playsuit from this round of Uber. I discovered that wearing this particular dress with my Maitreya Lara mesh body created a few issues because of the plunging neckline versus the alpha… Read more →
All ribbons and pearls
These Boho Loops from Ane sparked my whole look today. Ribbons and pearls (technically, beads) bohemian style. I pretty much love everything I am wearing. The small pops of powder blue, the realism of the linen dress, and the sweet sandals by Pure Poison. I have to say I have really enjoyed the last several releases of Pure Poison shoes… Read more →
Dreaming of Spring
As the snow begins to fall once again here in Boston, I am ready for Spring – even if that means rain. I don’t care as long as it’s not snow. I had been looking for something to wear with this beautiful skirt in the week since Shiny Shabby opened, and I found it in this Glam Affair Gypsy tank… Read more →
Going both ways…
Not to be cheeky, but it was fun taking the same outfit from Tee*fy and dressing it up completely differently. None of us are the same from day to day. Why should our fashion be? The Lana V-neck romper is sure to be one of the most purchased items from this round of Uber, featuring some of our best designers’… Read more →
Rounding it up
Some of the items I have newly acquired all in one place! With a bunch of new events coming up (I am looking at you, Uber and Arcade), I wanted to make sure some of these special items didn’t get lost in my inventory, which this time around, I am working very hard to keep very small. I am truly… Read more →
