It Matters

Customer service matters. It really matters. IRL and SL alike. If you have a bad experience with a brand from a customer service perspective, you’re less likely to ever shop them again. When you have a good experience, it builds loyalty that is additive (with no ceiling or cap to how much loyalty you demonstrate). Two recent positive experiences I… Read more →

Did I overdo it?

Did I overdo it? I have been known to overdo the cute from time to time. This might be one of those times but it seemed apropos for the weather, which has finally turned sparkling and summerlike, without melting me. A couple of notes: I’m wearing the new head from LAQ. I’m still on that kick. My collection grows. I… Read more →

It’s been a while

It’s been a while since I wore a Catwa head. I always *want* to but it’s like iPhone vs. Android. You are generally either one or the other. The skin that got me to give my Catya head another try? Radija from Studio Exposure. This creator has long made my absolute most favorite makeups (so much so that they have… Read more →

Powder Pack FTW

I am loving the newest Powder Pack for LeLutka. So far, everything that I have tried is absolutely going into my top folders for LeLutka heads. The makeups, the eyes, the freckles. Girllll, it’s one of the things I look forward to the most in Second Life beauty. There are several skins in the May Powder Pack release – including… Read more →

Pure and Simple

It’s hard to improve on a classic sheath, but IMO, this new Lois dress does. It’s actually harder to do simple well in SL – because everyone seems to want the ‘in your face’ aesthetic. Stories&Co. does it best, pure and simple. I’m also really into these makeups from Glam Affair on the new Elanor skin, also at Collabor88. Coupled… Read more →

Dollface

Dollface is the newest style from Lamb, available at Uber. I actually didn’t really find much at Uber that I liked. But I’m wearing the two things I loved. Can you spot the other? Yes, my skin is new and absolutely beautiful IMO. It’s by Insol for Vista bento heads, so if you have any of those (I think 3… Read more →

Close cut

I sort of fell in love with this dress because of its close cut, just body skimming leather. In fact, it’s one of two dresses from new-to-me creators that I picked up at Tres Chic earlier this week – an event I usually find at least 1-2 treasures at. The vendor ad was clearly an homage to KKW in all… Read more →

Simply the best?

You may have seen – who am I kidding – you must have seen that Belleza finally came out with improvements to their full line of mesh bodies. \o/ I was super excited to re-try a body (Isis) that has the best (IMO) butt and boobs. They are just simply the best. The areas I was looking to be addressed… Read more →

What’s new?

So, what’s new with you all? I am entering a long week and then a week away on business travel – so I am going to be scarce. But, a few things I wanted to mention that are new, updated or just interesting! First up, I am swathed in newness from Bauhaus Movement from The Seasons Story and NEO-Japan event.… Read more →

Prepping my springtime palette

As I mentioned last time, I’m over winter. Over. It. I mostly need it to be over IRL so I’m prepping my springtime palette and girlllllll, it’s so pretty. Peachy, fresh and light, I’m very into this flowey peasant top and lightweight jacket casually draped over the shoulders. I’m also very into Papaya – the new skin from OVH &… Read more →

Navy, a love letter

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 →

color crush

Color Crush

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 →

Chinoiserie

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 →

no time to talk

No time to talk

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 →

Level of Detail

Level of Detail

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 →
