Like I did in Q1, I am in the process of doing the great quarterly purge of my inventory. In great contrast to my first years blogging, I am dead serious about keeping my inventory properly managed, organized and mostly, only containing items that I will actually use regularly. So, I always start with hair. Here are my TOP 10… Read more →
I have talked about how shorter dresses aren’t always my favorite in SL. It’s basically because there are sooooo many and I guess most people prefer them. But when I look in my inventory, that’s a lot of what’s in my “dresses not gowns” folder (yes, this is a thing). And of course, there are lovely ones that I still… Read more →
For the past 2 years I have chronicled my love affair with the perfect white shirt on my Pinterest board. Nothing is more versatile to me than this one article of clothing that inspires my fashion foundation for nearly every season. Does that foundation translate to SL too? Where “ready to wear” takes on a whole new meaning and creating… Read more →
I worked some leather into my summer wardrobe in ways that would still be bearable in RL heat. I’m *almost* to my vacation so my casual looks are inspired by all that time I will take to dress down and shop…a lot. A couple comments: The new leather pants from Addams are very good – as most of their items… Read more →
Summertime seems to have arrived in earnest now. And with it, sunny colors, easy fits and more relaxed fashion. The artists of Collabor88 June responded in kind with some of the most colorful, whimsical offerings. Personally I think many people will be most excited by the many great hairs from Elikatira, Exile and others, and most especially, the new dress… Read more →
I try to fill my inventory with items that can be separated from their “outfits.” The only downside to mesh really is that a lot of things tend to come as “meant to be worn all together” as one look. I am less interested in that although I understand it from a dress or suit perspective. In general, I prefer… Read more →
New from YSYS are the Ginny appliers, available at Shiny Shabby. I continue to adore the looks (I loved the first offering, Yvonne). The makeups on Ginny are very pretty, particularly the eyes, which can be super subtle and natural, or quite dramatic. You can choose between natural, smooth or freckled faces – and the freckles are particularly good. I also… Read more →
Pretty. Simple. Two words that I like best about all these pieces. Nothing is overdone; nothing is too fussy. You don’t even need shoes to create a feel for the dress from [sYs] available at On9. This trench from Emery is the best I have seen in SL since my return. Obviously I love the color (and all the colors… Read more →
After an absolutely crazy Saturday, today is finally quiet for me \o/ It’s also going to be almost 90 here in Boston. We went right from winter to summer. I haven’t seen my own face in a while but with the new Luna skin from Glam Affair, I was quite happy to go back 🙂 I love makeup 8, which… Read more →
So Shiny Shabby opened today. No secret how much I love this event. It’s so thoughtfully done – with a notecard containing a direct TP to every creator. While there are lot of very feminine dresses and accessories to choose from, I went a little hipster this time because I’m feeling spicy. I’m wearing Skye from Entwined, which is available… Read more →
I am a big fan of ISON by Harry Hyx. There aren’t loads of releases but you can usually catch ISON at Collabor88 monthly, and it’s always something to look forward to. For the punk-inspired round, Harry offers a structured dress with loads of detail that make this particular dress a staple. I particularly like it in the deep eggplant… Read more →
Dreamy is a bit how I feel styling these pieces. The feeling you get from everything – the casual cargo pants, the undone hair, the loose fitting tunic. And of course the jewels. The magnificent jewels from Mandala, which I chose to dress down. Pretty dreamy. The cargo pants are by a designer totally new to me – Addams. They’re… Read more →
Yesterday was intimate, today is intricate. I feel like because designs in SL often have to be exaggerated to be “seen,” sometimes the subtleties of a piece of jewelry or belt, for example, are overlooked. So this is all about those details that make whatever we’re wearing special. Very. Even if you’re the only person who notices because everyone else… Read more →
And now for something completely different… There’s a western inspired collection out at Overhigh made up of everything from hats to skirts to ponchos and cloaks. The whole collection is quite good and I’m showing a few pieces here. This skirt type was really popular last fall when both Burberry showed a line of Prorsum ponchos on all the celebrities. It’s… 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 →
