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 →
A little bit hipster
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 →
Splash of Color
Splashes of color everywhere. I love this look from David Heather. The arms are fixed in the pockets, which creates a nice streamlined look in photos but can be a little awkward just shopping around. I’m also wearing eyeshadow from Angelica, found at the Wayward Hunt (the Angelica mainstore is one of the most lovely I have seen in SL… Read more →
Darker
I tend to stick to fair tones in skins, maybe because that’s what I am IRL. But I do love going darker too. The tones from The Skinnery – Toffee, Mocca, etc. – are so incredibly done that I enjoy wearing them as much as my favorite champagne or milk tones. My clothing is mostly new from some recent events.… Read more →
Casual Friday
TGIF! This week has been rough for me so I could not be happier that it’s coming to a close. I am ready to get comfy and casual. This ensemble from Emery came into Collabor88 a little late so not as many people maybe saw it. For me, the simple, comfy feel was exactly what I was looking for… Read more →
Extraordinary
One of the reasons I came back to blogging in SL is that there is so much incredible artistry here in fashion. It makes me very happy to celebrate it. This extraordinary ensemble from Enfant Terrible is masterful really. Can you imagine what something like this would cost IRL? The gems on the headband and chest piece literally glisten. The… Read more →
So Sweet
Everything I am showing in this post is so sweet. I am going to need a self imposed holiday from SL if this keeps up as there are just sooooo many delicious items out that are impossible to resist. Like this hair from Olive at the Kawaii Project, paired with Belleza’s Eva, available at TLC. I am also trying new… Read more →
On the bright side
I have said a few times that I really don’t like gacha very much. It’s fun-ish but can be frustrating. However, that has never stopped me from trying for something I have my eye on. I am epically stubborn. After so many tries, it becomes more about my stubbornness than my desire for whatever it is. Case in point, the… Read more →
To top it off
Hats. I love wearing hats IRL. In SL? Very hit or miss. Unless they come with the hair (and even sometimes when they do), they can be hard to work with. And when they come rigged to the hair, options for styling are very specifically limited to the type of hair. However for me, anything is better than the blockiness… 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 →
Journey
This is Roberta from Swallow, another new skin from Skin Fair. First let me say that I am wearing freckles that do not come with this skin. You can see a clean shot of Roberta at the end of this post. I added them for the simple reason that this skin does not come with any tattoo options. It comes… Read more →
