I think I once said that the color navy is my spirit color. And it so is. So here’s my love letter to navy, basic without technically being a basic; the world’s only neutral color that’s an actual color; and a color that looks good on most everyone (even the palest person IRL, aka me). Ok I might be a… Read more →
For this shopping Saturday, I am focused on my color crush once again. Second only to navy blue, dusty rose is a staple for me – and truly forms a large swath of my wardrobe IRL (and as you know, in SL too). I love that you can style it like any neutral so I went with some rich browns,… Read more →
Now trending: chinoiserie. No, not delicate wallpapers or home decor. My dress. From United Colors @Kustom9. It’s one of my recent favorites and my choice to pop back into blogging a little earlier than predicted this week. Shopping and styling relaxes me a lot. My skin is also new from Milan, and is one of those charming, non air-brushed looks… Read more →
Apologies, no time to talk today. Just a peek at a delicately pretty look that I thought was a pleasing mix of textures and tones. Incidentally, I haven’t worn a Laura Hurley skin in so long, but I fell right back in step, even with a skin that was created especially for Stella (I loved Stella) at least a year… Read more →
From far away, it may look like I have put together another nude/beige (which isn’t boring!) look. But on closer inspection, it’s actually a study in Level of Detail. Special mention must be paid to my top and heels, both courtesy of this month’s Luxe Box. The delicately-tied Rowne top has a level of detail that shows every stitch of… Read more →
This post needed a clever title but I just didn’t have one ready and I wanted to keep blogging. Can’t recall the last time I had time to blog at my leisure nearly all week 😮 Jetlag has its privileges. At least I can stay up until almost 9:00 now. My cute shoes and socks are the star of my… Read more →
This is my RBF. Yes, Resting Bitch Face. But it doesn’t have to be, as you probably know if you have been following the release of the new Bento head from LAQ. In typical Gillian style though, I really have to let new animations grow on me. Sometimes they never do. Or sometimes they become as core to the head… Read more →
I am leaving in a few weeks for London and then Paris \o/ so I spent today doing some Sunday shopping. I meant to post this before I left but…oops! In Second Life, I am wearing the still relatively new Bento head from fiore, coupled with a fresh new skin from The Skinnery. I would *love* to see an applier… Read more →
I’m not a big pattern or florals person. I would pick a solid over a pattern 6 out of 7 days of the week. But I love this floral print dress from Valentina E. For me, this is an example of palatable florals. It’s also one of my absolute favorite silhouettes, form fitting and feminine. It’s a quick break in… Read more →
This week I got a note from someone that said, “I miss when you looked more original. Currently you just look like another LeLutka bot.” I can assure you, I am not a bot. But if I were, I wouldn’t mind looking like this? Still uniquely my own I have talked about the reasons I am trending more towards wearing… Read more →
I’m making a case for champagne with this dress from Azul. I have never worn inventory from this creator before, and the Zaria dress is unique, with bell sleeves and a satin overlay bodice. Very, very pretty and so fun to style. It also comes with flexi parts (not shown). I remember when flexi came to the grid (yes, my… Read more →
I was messing around with shapes as I tried on the new mesh head from LeLutka this weekend. It got me thinking about my shape and how it has changed – or hasn’t changed, as it were. At the end of the day, however I present my avatar in Second Life, it is version of me that I choose to… Read more →
I am hitting the refresh button today. Taking a fresh look at what’s in my inventory and where the holes are. In particular, I am looking at ever-popular Second Life subscription “boxes” like Luxe Box (FD: the only one I participate in) and others. Is Second Life moving farther and farther away from a la carte to mostly event/themed/packaged shopping?… Read more →
A dreamy winter day in soft, pink sweaters, minimal makeup and casual hair. I love the new Susan skin applier from Glam Affair at the Epiphany. I don’t have enough points for the Polar tone exclusives yet but I am working on it. Gacha with a twist…of control? Gacha with a twist of control While it’s true that gacha is… Read more →
I realized I am quite covered up today, nearly head to toe actually. Despite all the sporty and sexy newness being released, I chose a fitted coat and mid-length skirt combination from AMITOMO @Kustom9. Covered up or not, it’s just a great winter look. As for my boots, they’re absolute perfection IMO (and this is not something I often say)… Read more →
