Skin Fair: Top Picks (part I)

Yesterday I said, “I can’t see getting too many appliers…” All I can say to that is LOL. I was super impressed with some of the new appliers, primarily for Catwa heads. I did also pick up some new system skins, but I’ll start with my Skin Fair Top Picks for Catwa in Part I… In terms of Catwa appliers,… Read more →

MIX: I don’t need a reason…

…but I am glad there is one. I don’t need a reason to visit my favorite brands’ main stores tbh. It’s still weird to me that it’s now so novel to actually TP around and enjoy the spaces that my favorite artists have created. I like MIX because it’s very specifically not a destination event. Instead, it’s designed to get… Read more →

Early Fall Fashion for the Simple Girl

Early fall fashion offers the best clothes, best makeups and a reason to wear boots again \0/. I am pushing it a little as it’s still over 90 degrees here, but the leaves are definitely already turning. It’s beautiful. So here are some early fall looks from a few new releases anchored on simple, fun and staple fashions. The dress… Read more →

Tuli: Like a Time Machine

Way back in 2007 and 2008, I wore a lot of skins from Tuli. After my CS Vogue and then Minnu skins, Tuli’s were usually in my common rotation. I hope all those who came after our early generation (and a few of them are still here and blogging!!) have had a chance to sample Tuli’s work. If not, then… Read more →

Variety is my spice of SLife

For me, experimenting with fashion and beauty in SL is very exciting. It allows me to really stretch and create a variety of styles that I find inspiring and beautiful. Adrian says, “well it looks good but it’s not you.” But you see, it is me. Ultimately every style on my blog is “me” in the realest sense in fact.… Read more →

Genesis Labs: Jiang Mesh Head

This is going to be rather long so feel free to skip to the end for my TLDR summary. I am going to start with the things I like about Jiang, available now from Genesis Labs at Shiny Shabby. Firstly, she’s beautifully interesting to me. I knew as soon as I saw the previews that I would like her. She’s… Read more →

Mermaids for Some

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 →

Silke from The Skinnery

I was hoping for LeLutka head appliers from The Skinnery and Silke arrived yesterday at The Chapter Four second anniversary. I LOVE <3!! The Silke appliers can be worn with any of your LeLutka Mesh heads. I am wearing them here on Stella, Lotte and Karin for example. Silke creates a really “full” face if that makes sense. The appliers… Read more →

Hi, I suck at hunts

Hi, I’m Gillian and I suck at hunts. I have spent many hours searching the Wayward Hunt sites and failed a lot. I did finally find the skin I had been coveting from The Skinnery but admittedly, I had help from a lovely fellow hunter who helped me. We had both spent ridiculous amounts of time over 2 days trying… Read more →

Range

Fameshed is open and there is a very wide range of items available. A few of my favorites include this leather dress from Emery, shoes from Just Design and necklace from Cae. I rarely wear tattoos but I really like this one from Pervette available at Cosmopolitan. Unfortunately you can’t see the crow holding the rosary here, but it’s very… Read more →

Dreamy

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 →

Not Too Shabby

More from Shiny Shabby, the perfect retro, bohemian, vintage collection of treasures. It is so up my fashion alley. I won’t ever tire of it. There is a very special necklace there that I am not showing yet because I need something worthy of it, but I cannot wait to style it! I would not be surprised if practically every… Read more →

Top 3 reasons things get stuck in my inventory

As I prepare space in my inventory for Shiny Shabby (yay!!!!)…I take a hard look at what I haven’t worn and consider why…why do things get stuck in my inventory? #1 – Where would I wear it? I love the look of whatever it is but for whatever reason, it won’t be seen beyond my attic skybox. It’s SL so… Read more →

Spectrum

There are skins I wear regularly that are so distinct, no one would ever wonder what I am wearing. Glam Affair is one. Belleza is another. Both these brands do impeccable work when it comes to creating varied and distinct skin lines, so expertly crafted it’s no wonder they are some of the grid’s most popular faces. But within each… 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 →
