I have talked about how shorter dresses aren’t always my favorite in SL. It’s basically because there are sooooo many and I guess most people prefer them. But when I look in my inventory, that’s a lot of what’s in my “dresses not gowns” folder (yes, this is a thing). And of course, there are lovely ones that I still… Read more →
Layers upon layers make up this skirt on the Hand Me Down Ballet dress from Valentina E at Uber. It’s hard not to love, hand me down or not. It’s my pick from Uber this round. I was imagining a young woman having been given this dress, trying it on and remembering when she dreamed of being a prima ballerina,… Read more →
For the past 2 years I have chronicled my love affair with the perfect white shirt on my Pinterest board. Nothing is more versatile to me than this one article of clothing that inspires my fashion foundation for nearly every season. Does that foundation translate to SL too? Where “ready to wear” takes on a whole new meaning and creating… Read more →
Summer is the best time for neutrals for me. I do them in fall too, but summer just lends itself. Incidentally, I first passed by this hair from Blues, but then went back and I’m so glad I did. Totally fun, summer hair! All of these pieces are 100% fitted mesh from various designers. I’ve said fitted pieces are hit… 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 have been slowly collecting lingerie in SL, something I love IRL very, very much ^^ I recently read this on NWN and it got me thinking about original work again. Incidentally, Roslin Petion is someone whose work I have worn religiously since back when she was one half of the premier skin making team at Tete a Pied. Today,… Read more →
I love some of the new body conscience items at Fameshed this round. This first dress is new from Glam Affair. While there are great colors available, I loved this pale creme against a tanned, freckled skin. I’m also showing some very old items today: jewelry from Muse and bouquet from Paper Couture. I don’t think you can even get… Read more →
I love rainy, lazy Sundays. I just got home from shopping and I’m sitting here in my most favorite jeans. Comfortable but not sloppy. Of course I have favorites in SL too. Until now, those included primarily two: coated denim from ISON and the new Luna rolled cuff jeans from Blueberry. I am now adding Deer Co. Upjeans to my… Read more →
Uber is back for me this round. And by that I mean that the last couple haven’t really been my thing. This one on the other hand is so full of items that I love. From the hairs to the apparel and skins. WOW. I absolutely loved it. Starting off – as is my tradition – with some of my… Read more →
I try to fill my inventory with items that can be separated from their “outfits.” The only downside to mesh really is that a lot of things tend to come as “meant to be worn all together” as one look. I am less interested in that although I understand it from a dress or suit perspective. In general, I prefer… Read more →
Elikatira is out with new hairs once again. They’re fantastic, as expected. [e] has – bar none – the absolute best colors, best HUD system and best branding in SL hair IMO. Why? Well for one, the colors are amazing, but this is to be expected. The variety of colors, dips, and dyes is simply overwhelming in the best way.… Read more →
…but often, the shoes help make the dress. At least these shoes do 😀 I was so happy when I logged in tonight to find The Secret Store released new T-strap heels, including ones for Maitreya Lara feet \o/. There are lots of colors available including brights, neutrals and pastels. I didn’t have time to snap them all, so here’s… Read more →
Like many of you I am sure, I have spent a couple days hunting around the various fantasy events. It’s true I mostly stick to stylings I am comfortable with but I will always collect beautiful pieces, regardless of period or style. I find this dress and headpiece by Zenith to be remarkably pretty. This is one of the commons,… Read more →
I look forward to Kustom9 every month, pretty much for one reason. It usually means new poses from the likes of Kirin (above), Sari-Sari (below) and more. I am a confessed pose addict and will hardly ever turn up my nose at new ones from my favorite creators. Some of the most natural poses from Bauhaus Movement were what actually got… Read more →
The joys in fashion/beauty in SL often come in the quiet of your skybox or wherever you’re trying on new items. I blogged these appliers from Lara Hurley for the LeLutka mesh heads yesterday, and once again, today I was delighted to zoom in on pixel Gillian’s eyes. The eye makeups on Alena are ridiculously well done and the mole… Read more →
