A serious pick me up

I needed a serious pick me up so I turned to makeup shopping IRL (never fails) and a particularly bright look in SL. I especially love my new hair from Elikatira available @TheEpiphany. I’m wearing it in my favorite “seashell” <3 I’m also wearing a rather short blazer dress that I bought because of the beautiful burnt orange color. It’s… Read more →

Thigh high know how

Try as I might, I have not found as versatile a pair of thigh high boots in Second Life as these from the original shoe/boot specialist, Maitreya. For those of you who don’t know, before dominating hair and then later, mesh bodies, Onyx built the early Maitreya brand name on heels and boots – still some of the absolute best… Read more →

Meant To Be

Some things are just meant to be. Like these bright gold LaGyo earrings paired with a beautiful, deep sea blue blouse. I didn’t even realize how perfect they were together until I put them on. Aside from my earrings, ring and trousers (which I blogged earlier in a different color), the only other new, never worn item is my hair… Read more →

Creature Comforts

Decadent crystal and pearls, fur (faux of course), silk charmeuse, elegant stockings and heels. All my creature comforts in one look as we move deeper into fall. I started with this stole, which is technically new but actually quite old, if you know what I mean. I must have a dozen just like it in my inventory but for some… Read more →

Weekend Haul

I have such a haul from this weekend to enjoy and much to blog. It started with FLF and ended with a preview of TLC, with a longer than usual stop @ Fameshed in between. It’s been a while since I just went all out and shopped up and down the grid. TBH, it’s been a while since I actually… Read more →

Butterscotch

Fall seems like the perfect time to wear a pretty butterscotch dress. You know I’m not generally into short, flouncy type “cuts” in SL because they’re typically a dime a dozen, literally. But this one made me happy and I love the detail on the pretty “fabric” with a lovely, natural sheen. This is Eliza, new Omega-based skin from LAQ.… Read more →

Accessory Update

My rich chocolate accessories really led this look, perfect for a fall Saturday. IRL, I have been doing a lot of long skirts with booties, so recreating it – somewhat – in SL, was very satisfying. This whole ensemble would not have been possible without the delicate Tee from Canimal. I mean, talk about a perfect tucked top. It’s so… Read more →

Too soon?

Too soon? Maybe. But I couldn’t risk not blogging asap, as who knows how buried these pieces would get in a few weeks when actual autumn arrives and my folders have become even more unmanageable. TBH, I have been avoiding an inventory intervention and I should probably do that before Hair Fair blows everything up. Emery, it’s been a while… Read more →

Long weekend chic

This look is my current incarnation of Long Weekend Chic. I mean, I would add a bra IRL but still…<3 It’s’ the end of summer and I am relishing it. I am wearing a new-to-me brand, spectacledchic, that had a blouse at an event which piqued my interest to see more (an event that I only knew about because of… Read more →

White River Co

I popped over to the just opened “pop up shop” for the forthcoming collaborative brand between Elikapeka Tiramisu and Darling Monday called, White River Co. Right now it’s a small sampling of the inventory that will presumably be released when the main store opens soon. For now, you can get a sense of the aesthetic through a few key pieces… Read more →

Late summer

Late summer is my favorite time of the summer months. The nights are so crisp – foreshadowing what’s probably only weeks away; and the days are still so warm but you can feel the sun receding slightly. It’s just less extreme. I spent the weekend down at my parents’ house on the beach – which is pretty much heaven –… Read more →

Bright Whites

I stopped by COCO yesterday to check out the inventory I might have missed and the group gift wall – and low and behold, a skirt that had my name all over it. You know I love a monochrome look, coupled with a simple updo. It’s my jam. So perfect for late summer. I’m back in LAQ by the way.… Read more →

My Monday

My Monday this week kicks off a fun mini vacation. I am off to Nashville Tennessee to visit my horse who lives in a nearby town – as well as many friends who I only get to see a couple times a year. I am sooo excited but not so excited to have to pack and clean the house before… Read more →

Severe Drought

I didn’t want to acknowledge this but it’s gone on long enough where I can’t pretend anymore. You guys, I am sorry to report I am experiencing a severe fashion drought. There is almost nothing – seriously – that interests me from a fashion perspective in Second Life right now. It has reached critical status. What? That’s impossible! The drought… Read more →
