Genuine. Simple. Clean. These are words I think of while wearing this dress from Pixicat. With my toes wrapped in what really look like shiny ribbons from Fri.day, well it makes me very happy even on this epically rainy day where I am. The new faces from Glam Affair do not disappoint. I led with my favorite makeup from Yolandi… Read more →
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 →
I mentioned I have been trying on other mesh heads recently, because I have pretty much become addicted to the sharp features in snapshots. And, with so many artists making appliers for the LeLutka heads, there’s a ton you can do to customize and still be you…so here’s another head I have added to my growing collection. This one by… Read more →
Summertime seems to have arrived in earnest now. And with it, sunny colors, easy fits and more relaxed fashion. The artists of Collabor88 June responded in kind with some of the most colorful, whimsical offerings. Personally I think many people will be most excited by the many great hairs from Elikatira, Exile and others, and most especially, the new dress… Read more →
I started down this path somewhat yesterday, but I do believe I have reached the point – surprised as I am – that I really do prefer mesh heads to standard AV heads, in snapshots anyway. They just allow for much sharper features with no post processing, and after getting used to them, it doesn’t feel as strange anymore. The… Read more →
I make no apologies for being a lover of the preppy. In SL a lot of times you can see that style come through in the items I choose to work with. I definitely favor simple, tailored pieces that can be mixed and matched and I would choose a tailored blouse and shorts or chinos over pretty much anything else… Read more →
Here in Boston, summer has arrived. I’m celebrating with colors that are maybe less than summery :p. Like I talked about here, I’m very into things I can break up and wear as I like. This handkerchief top from miss chelsea is simple and very well done, and I love that it’s not attached to anything (although there are bottoms… Read more →
When you’re just coming back to SL, you don’t know who anyone is in terms of cross brands. You just enjoy whatever is out there and quality always comes to the front. I have worn many items from Celoe and had no idea there was any relation to a brand – in various forms – I have enjoyed for nearly… Read more →
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 →
There is just so much out right now that a serial shopper can easily become overwhelmed…or homeless. There’s especially some great items, if like me, you can’t resist a pretty bow. The first dress is perfect mint from Cocoroni. This is only a gacha item and comes only in your choice of XXS, XS, or S, so fit can be… Read more →
The Seasons Story opened today and for me, much like Shiny Shabby, it’s just one of those events I save up for. When I came back to SL last fall, this was the first event I went to and fell in love with. The theme this spring is The Shire and for me, there is nothing more perfect. I have… Read more →
My cute hair which I forgot to pose with my hair roundup yesterday is from Olive. The paintbrushes have an on/off hud, although mine was not working for me. I wouldn’t want to hide them anyway because they are very sweet. This morning I went back and grabbed redelivery of my LeLutka mesh heads, so I could start fresh with… Read more →
Back when I started SL in 2006, there was a big movement to bring RL corporations into the “game.” I guess it was mildly successful for a short time, but in the end, it wasn’t really a business platform. During that time though, there was all sorts of “business wear” (a lot of it was terrible – made by these… Read more →
Yesterday was intimate, today is intricate. I feel like because designs in SL often have to be exaggerated to be “seen,” sometimes the subtleties of a piece of jewelry or belt, for example, are overlooked. So this is all about those details that make whatever we’re wearing special. Very. Even if you’re the only person who notices because everyone else… Read more →
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 →
