Standout Separates

I put together a casual winter look made up of some simple, but standout separates. We had our first snow in Boston this weekend, so it seemed apropos to dress with that in mind. Incidentally, the very first snow I saw this season was in Austin last week. Yes, Texas y’all. It never snows there! WTF? I actually got stuck… Read more →

Short Order

I find myself really short on time (again). Work and life have collided in a profound way this week and I don’t expect to be able to post again before Sunday at the earliest. So for now, a short order post, with a beautiful short order dress with details that are anything but short on style. I will be behind… Read more →

Do you ever hope…?

Do you ever hope for something to be made in Second Life and then it happens? That’s a bit how I felt about the first skin for LeLutka from Milan by Milan Jones. Lisa is everything I love about Milan’s skins – but for the first time, on my favorite mesh head platform! A hope that came to be in… Read more →

Summer Short

Like the rest of the SL fashion set, my summer short is a great pixie cut courtesy of Tram. How are you guys liking Uber this round anyway? My favorite thing of all? New skin applier from Spirit. I don’t love the moles on the body appliers’ decolletage (available separately at their man store) and Madina comes with no makeup… Read more →

Nantucket Reds

I am just back from a long week of travel and am about to get on the road once again – but this time, to Nantucket and just for an overnight. On a beautiful spring day I have my Nantucket Reds on IRL but I didn’t have quite the right color in SL. So, I put on the closest I… Read more →

Pale Dogwood

Does anyone else follow Pantone’s “color of the year” ? They do such a good job of marketing but did you know they do this for seasons too? I happened to notice today as I was looking up paint colors, that one of my favorite colors – the one I normally refer to as “blush” – is actually “pale dogwood.”… Read more →

Back to Basics

Going a little bit back to basics today. Jeans, light spring trench and the one thing that makes anyone feel amazing – new shoes! I am wearing several “new to me” brands that I have never tried before, and I particularly like the heels from Noir. Such a good price for a 12-color HUD. And while I like the coat… Read more →

I am not a bot

This week I got a note from someone that said, “I miss when you looked more original. Currently you just look like another LeLutka bot.” I can assure you, I am not a bot. But if I were, I wouldn’t mind looking like this? Still uniquely my own I have talked about the reasons I am trending more towards wearing… Read more →

The List of What Was…

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…

“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 →

I Fancy

I have been so caught up elsewhere, I haven’t been blogging. I could give you the normal list of IRL or I could tell you that other things have my attention. Both would be true. It is the holidays after all and my main MMO has an expansion out. So instead, here are some things I Fancy. I realize today… Read more →

My Favorite Kind of Frost

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 →

To Curate

To curate: to select, arrange and present. Curating pieces to bring together in my own unique way is my preferred way to express myself from a fashion perspective IRL and in SL. I really appreciate SL creators who offer separates that can be curated as we see fit. For those of you who have been around SL for a long… Read more →

Layering in the Summer

Layering in the summer is almost unheard of. But, it can be done. It can even be done in Second Life, where it’s significantly harder to layer effectively due to meshes and sizing. For regular readers, if you saw this pleated skirt from Tetra @Uber, you had to know I was going to go nuts for it. Indeed, it’s like… Read more →

Quickie: Veechi Shadows

I have been working on a bunch of longer posts this week but time got away from me and I haven’t had a moment to finish them. So today, here’s quite literally just a quickie. But a goodie. A quickie goodie? If you do nothing else today in Second Life from a shopping perspective, do yourself a favor and pick… Read more →
