One of the things I have most enjoyed over the last year of my return to Second Life and blogging has been embracing a large variety of mesh heads. First I was skeptical, even resistant. Now, it’s one of the most fun parts of styling for me. I am still attached to my own headshape, of course, but it’s been… Read more →
I am showing two new system skins from Lara Hurley, Dani and Rie. I still get really excited when a skinner I love puts out new system skins. Until we can all have custom mesh heads or there are more ways to customize the mass market options, there’s still the potential “I look like everyone else” factor. I believe that… Read more →
Halloween is around the corner and Thanksgiving looms only weeks later. We’re entering Deep Fall here in the US. It’s still not time for snow or heavy coats just yet xD so I put together some of my recent favorites that fit with the season. Personally, if it could stay like this all year round, I would be quite happy.… Read more →
These two new beauties are shades of grey, of course from Elika of elikatira. Noire and Nura will both be available as gachas at the Wayward Halloween event that opens today. Whenever E puts out an exclusive pack (special colors only available for that hair and for a limited time), I am all about the seashell tone on the left.… Read more →
It’s that time again. Every quarter (three months), I go through my inventory for the Great Quarterly Inventory Purge and pick out my personal favorite hairs of the previous quarter. I meticulously go through and delete items in my inventory that I can’t see reusing. Why? Because I like to keep my inventory tidy and compact; very unlike the first… Read more →
I loved this simple dress from COCO and every time I went to add something, it looked wrong. So I added almost nothing – just a ring – and it felt perfect. Sometimes, I guess minimal is more. I felt like the stars of the look were really the skin applier from Lara Hurley and hair from Tableau Vivant, both… Read more →
I don’t have a date tonight on the global “date night” of Saturday night. But if I did… I would be wearing something like these, assuming I had somewhere pretty fabulous to go and a fabulous guy to go with 😉 Both hairs I am wearing are new and stunning from Elikatira and the lips I am wearing with my… Read more →
One of the most interesting things happening in the mesh head market is the wave of new appliers coming out for different heads – including those from Genesis Lab. That brand is arguably making the most noise at the moment, with frequent releases and very accessible entry points via gacha and group gifts. One of my favorite skinners to capitalize… Read more →
Early fall fashion offers the best clothes, best makeups and a reason to wear boots again \0/. I am pushing it a little as it’s still over 90 degrees here, but the leaves are definitely already turning. It’s beautiful. So here are some early fall looks from a few new releases anchored on simple, fun and staple fashions. The dress… Read more →
I don’t know about anyone else but I am wrapping up an incredibly intense work week. I couldn’t log in, definitely couldn’t blog, and was asleep by 10:00 most nights only to be back in the office again by 7:00 a.m. the next day 😮 It’s good to be back! Annoyingly, I actually did have a blog all tee’d up… Read more →
I knew I would eventually end up doing this post. Despite my boredom around some shorter, “girly” dresses in Second Life, these dresses are all exceptions for me. Why? Extraordinary construction and/or textures you can almost feel. The top of the Dreamy Dress from Pixicat at Collabor88 is textured in a way that I can almost feel the fabric if… Read more →
Where I live, once the calendar hit about August 6, an almost imperceptible change happened. Lights in my house are now being flipped on around 7:00 rather than 8:00. The air conditioning isn’t running much and the evening air has the slightest hint of a chill. The seasons are signaling a change. It’s my favorite time of year, but so… Read more →
On a Sunday in the summer I usually do one of two things, housework and shopping for the coming week – or absolutely nothing. I haven’t decided what today will be yet. So I’m kicking it off in Second Life. Fameshed opened up and it seems my brief moratorium of event shopping is over. There is some great inventory, of… Read more →
I adore long hair. In the last year I had my stylist cut my hair into a medium bob and I cried for days. #firstworldproblems. It took me a year to grow it out and today it’s finally the perfect length for me. I am kinda obsessed with it actually. In SL of course, perfect hair for the day is… Read more →
Collabor88 for July is open and it’s quite good, particularly if you like mermaids and starfish 😉 For me, I found some great staples for my wardrobe that I will definitely reuse. Though they may have nothing to do with “under the sea,” there’s always something for everyone at this event, not to mention absolutely great prices. I keep crashing… Read more →
