Shiny Shabby opened to much fanfare once again. For me, this event is usually worth it in every way. It’s so well done, I could wander the streets for much longer than my shopping requires. I have so much to blog from the event, but I’m not one to blog everything at once, so above, I am actually only wearing… Read more →
I adore long hair. In the last year I had my stylist cut my hair into a medium bob and I cried for days. #firstworldproblems. It took me a year to grow it out and today it’s finally the perfect length for me. I am kinda obsessed with it actually. In SL of course, perfect hair for the day is… Read more →
Love can be so fickle. I can love my mesh heads all day long and then decide I need to go back to me. These skins by Mudskin made me fall in love all over again. In a perfect world, I could apply ANY skin I wanted onto ANY head at the click of a HUD 😉 All these skins… Read more →
Collabor88 for July is open and it’s quite good, particularly if you like mermaids and starfish 😉 For me, I found some great staples for my wardrobe that I will definitely reuse. Though they may have nothing to do with “under the sea,” there’s always something for everyone at this event, not to mention absolutely great prices. I keep crashing… Read more →
I put some simple looks together featuring ISON’s Gladiator sandals, just updated for Maitreya and on sale this weekend. Fatpack prices are so good and I pretty much never say that. You can click to make it bigger (I think – I don’t usually embed from Flickr). Head: LeLutka Stella Skin/Makeups: Glam Affair Eyes: [Buzz] Headband: Zenith *@Kustom9* Hair:… Read more →
Like so many of you, I’m beginning to branch out to try other mesh heads. I have reviewed several over the last month, and of course, I wear LeLutka regularly. This time it’s Genesis Labs Chloe (2.0) available at The Fantasy Collective. Firstly I will say that while I don’t find Chloe all that “pretty,” I find her look really… Read more →
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 →
