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 →

Stolen Shots

I look forward to Kustom9 every month, pretty much for one reason. It usually means new poses from the likes of Kirin (above), Sari-SariĀ (below) and more. I am a confessed pose addict and will hardly ever turn up my nose at new ones from my favorite creators. Some of the most natural poses from Bauhaus Movement were what actually got… Read more →

Small Surprises

The joys in fashion/beauty in SL often come in the quiet of your skybox or wherever you’re trying on new items. I blogged these appliers from Lara Hurley for the LeLutka mesh heads yesterday, and once again, today I was delighted to zoom in on pixel Gillian’s eyes. The eye makeups on Alena are ridiculously well done and the mole… Read more →

Hello Miami

I am amused that Uber opens today with a Miami theme and I decide to go as pale as possible lol! Glam Affair indulges our love affair with Katra with new makeups for America and Arctic tones. If you’re a Glam Affair regular, you could try to resist – but likely not succeed – the beautiful eyes on each skin.… Read more →

{amiable}

What a good name for a brand. I have collected items from {amiable} over the last few months and they quickly took up a slot in my favorites folder. In general, nodoka’s designs are feminine, simple and often elegant, though mostly whimsical and young. Not too busy or trying too hard. Even something as simple in concept as a comfortable… Read more →

Prim and Proper

I felt a little bit prim and proper in these ensembles, without even meaning to. I was just snapping some recent releases that I liked and voila, apparently I am on my way to church…or a tea party? I love the new hairs from Lamb at N21. Overall, I didn’t really feel too many of the clothing offerings there, but… Read more →
