Taking an outfit that I could potentially make “too cute” and instead, make it feel a bit more sophisticated was just what I was looking for today. I pretty much love everything I am wearing, although the skirt on this set from Zenith @ Kustom9 is a tad too short for my general, everyday tastes. Even so, I love the… Read more →

Dressing for Fall …When it’s Still Hot Out?
It happens to be almost 75 degrees here in Boston today. It’s beautiful, blustery with remnants of a passing hurricane, and bursting with fall color. But it’s not like I can walk outside with my favorite cape or I would broil. So, how am I dressing seasonally appropriate when it’s so warm out? Like ^ that. Maybe I would add… Read more →
Too Much is Never Enough
Be honest. How many times do you wear your hairs in Second Life on average? For me, I wear my favorites over and over and over, as evidenced by the last year of blogging. But between hairs and shoes in Second life, too much is never enough. I am a certified “shoe whore” IRL and a “hair whore” in Second… Read more →
Some Structure
I am a big fan of structure when it comes to fashion. Even on a casual day, I often lean towards a tailored or structured look and then add softness as I go. I found some items in Second Life that I was drawn to and that do structure really well. Back in the day (I can say that seeing… Read more →
Let’s do this
It’s Friday and I am so ready for the weekend! Let’s do this! I am taking a short but very fashionable (in my mind) trip to NYC this weekend. It’s going to be crisp and cool. I have packed accordingly and am mirroring that in SL before I go. Some of these items can be found at the new round… Read more →
Fashion Sated
My cravings for simple fall fashions are sated for the moment. I couldn’t be happier with all the simple, classic and casual choices available at a slew of events and in-store releases. I mentioned here that I had a feeling my friend Dakota Buck was coming back into the SL fashion world, and I was right! You can find Whippet… Read more →
Finally…Fall Arrives
I have been pushing the seasons a bit maybe. Up until today it’s been high 80s and 90s still in Boston. Today it’s finally Fall, low 70s and crystal clear. Absolutely perfect weather but a day late for all the apple picking we did yesterday! I loveeeee the fitted suede dress from Fishy Strawberry. One of my favorite pieces recently… Read more →
On a Sunday
On a Sunday in the summer I usually do one of two things, housework and shopping for the coming week – or absolutely nothing. I haven’t decided what today will be yet. So I’m kicking it off in Second Life. Fameshed opened up and it seems my brief moratorium of event shopping is over. There is some great inventory, of… Read more →
Chignons and Updos
One of the favorite ways to wear my hair is up or back, casually in a chignon or more formally in an updo on special occasions. I put together a small compilation featuring some of my favorite new “ups” available at Hair Fair and elsewhere. I’m also wearing three different mesh heads, and had so much fun playing around with… Read more →
Tresses
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 →
A Collection
I have so much new stuff in my inventory. What you see here is a collection of a few looks I put together based on all this “stuff” – all of which I really love, btw. Firstly I’ll mention that The Skinnery has just moved and there’s a new group gift in the store, plus all the basic AV skins… Read more →
Genesis Labs Julia Mesh Head
This is Julia. Another well-made mesh head from Genesis Lab. She’s available only as a gacha at Kustom9. I would normally bitch about gacha but here, it’s only $99L/play and no matter what, you’ll get a usable mesh head with all the applier trimmings. There are several rare and ultra rares that you can play for, including a blinking model… Read more →
Laced Up
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 →
Summer Leather
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 →
Neutrals
Summer is the best time for neutrals for me. I do them in fall too, but summer just lends itself. Incidentally, I first passed by this hair from Blues, but then went back and I’m so glad I did. Totally fun, summer hair! All of these pieces are 100% fitted mesh from various designers. I’ve said fitted pieces are hit… Read more →
