Early this morning in Boston we had our first frost of the season. When it finally arrives it takes your breath away after so many hot days, even well into Fall. I was inspired to dress with that light ice in mind so I slipped into the palest, frost-kissed skin. And, do you recognize my bow adornment once again? You… Read more →
May I recommend you take a break from rushing around, TP’ing, clicking and unpacking hundred of items at a plethora of events? No? Well OK, but in your frenzy to acquire all the shinies, don’t miss what is one of the best releases I have seen in a while. And with a big gulp of fresh air, you can only… Read more →
This was a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect to be inspired so quickly after my declaration that I was on a self-imposed moratorium. But these pieces brought together my style whimsy in a way that was unexpected but so very perfect for a pick me up. I’ll probably never be the blogger in the sexiest dress or new, popular “skimp… Read more →
This “prairie style” look from sYs made me nostalgic for my old Gunne Sax dresses from early childhood (does anyone else remember those?). They were sort of a mix between Laura Ingalls and Laura Ashley, so this ensemble is a much more modern take on the easy, comfortable “prairie style.” But regardless of what you call it, can we agree… 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 →
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 →
