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 →
I decided to go retro today. Well, a little retro anyway. And yes, my necklace is a “Q” which is as close as I could get to “G.” I wasn’t going to spend any more time (or $Lindens) trying to get ONE letter out of that damn machine, lol. I love the detail however. I recommend a good zoom in,… Read more →
I visited the Arcade like I always do (grumbling slightly but still…I went) and I TP’d away scratching my real and virtual head about a few of the displays there. So riddle me this: Why would creators put out gacha content that is so wildly unrelated, it’s almost…trollish? Here, have some coffee with your … mesh head? Like, “oh you… Read more →
It’s not too late for bohemian, late summer fashion, right? I know I said I was already in transition mode, but before I pumpkin spice all the things, let’s enjoy summer’s last licks with a beautifully-detailed skirt from Dead Dollz. It inspired my whole easy style and brings new meaning to “cleavage” amirite? This skirt is all the things I… 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 →
Today’s style called for a complete restyle of these lived-in flared jeans I’ve had for years. With newness from Stories & Co. by Flowey, I love the casual, later summer look. It was not lost on me how the new Annabelle Bodysuit @Uber comes in a perfect nude fatpack. In my mind it will be the “Gillian pack” for how… Read more →
Have you been to Uber yet? If you have, then you know my pick of the fashion is this prim jumpsuit from {sallie}. It’s pretty perfect. Well almost perfect. Made for the Maitreya mesh body only (and I believe the fit is experimental), there are small fit issues around the arm bands for me that cannot be solved with alpha… Read more →
With some extra time after my trip, I used some of it to revisit and reorganize my inventory. It felt good! I worked through previous Luxe Boxes and sorted all that inventory into its proper place. Until now, I had been sorting each Box by month – but I realized, “I haven’t worn even half this stuff!” A virtual treasure… Read more →
I love a pretty primrose yellow. I think it’s probably an especially tough tone to get right in a pixelated world and often looks too mustard-y in my favorite windlights. But all my pretty primrose accessories here in this Springy look are anything but “mustard-y.” I <3 a sunny day – or an outfit that makes me think of a… Read more →
Elika is someone I have known for a decade 😮 If you don’t know her, please let me be a little hyperbolic for a moment. She is incredibly witty, funny, gifted, beautiful, patriotic, and most importantly, a dedicated and amazing mother. I adore her. I also happen to adore her hair in Second Life – obviously – so with much… Read more →
If you happen to be a follower of runway trends then you know metallics, and copper in particular, are big trends in fashion this season. Quite honestly, who can keep up? It’s always “fashion week” somewhere! Regardless, I do love metallic rose golds and copper tones. So warm and summery and something sorely needed on another rainy day in Boston.… Read more →
Clearly I didn’t follow the sage advice by Coco Chanel who said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Instead, I decided to add something. Or many somethings. I was an a roll 😀 Minimalist is my normal vibe, but I was really feeling the beautiful Easter egg rose color of this new… Read more →
Powder Pack for LeLutka really hit the spot this month for me. You may recall I was still on the fence with this subscription box and whether I would continue with it after this third LeLutka pack. Once I saw the list of participating creators, I was in. For the most part, I was not disappointed. Smart Spend Not surprisingly,… Read more →
I love a good sale. And I wait for months and months for really good ones at my favorite sites or stores offline. Right now IRL I am stocking up at net-a-porte’s seasonal sale and in Second Life, I’m stocking up at Rowne. I think the sale probably ends today (!!) but it’s worth a stop over if you have… Read more →
Just last week I was freshly squeezed and now I’m just fresh. I love the crisp, fresh Spring look built around tailored trousers from United Colors. This is a brand I don’t think I have blogged more than once or twice prior and only accessories. These “Taka” spring trousers are super cute with their brass buttons and smart cuffs. I… Read more →
