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 →
I remember Skin Fair from way back when. Probably different organizers now, I really don’t know. Anywayyyyy, in classic Gillian style, I rushed in and out. I picked up 1000 demos (I only know because my inventory went up by a huge amount) and purchased a few of my “sure things” from Glam Affair, The Skinnery and Belleza. By now,… Read more →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
