“You pays your money…and you takes your chances.” That old idiom is Second Life’s Luxe Box in a nutshell. The unboxing is especially fun IMO, but you do have to be OK with the roll of the dice so to speak. And then, not complain about what you get because that is the game. You Pays Your Money and You… Read more →
This week kicks off another year of making merry, beginning here in the US with Thanksgiving tomorrow. I am already working on my holiday wardrobe IRL and noting how much easier it is in SL! I am wearing a new applier by Milan for fiore, shown on three different head shapes. I will just say that Milan has quickly become… Read more →
Out of the Luxe Box and into my Second Life closet, helping me create looks that are both traditional and edgy; classic and sexy. This month I am trying out Luxe Box for the first time. I have to say that as suspected, I enjoyed the unboxing maybe even more than I will enjoy all the items included. That is… Read more →
I feel like “light layers” describes so many of my fashion choices. As the seasons change, so many great opportunities to mix a mid-weight shawl with a late summer skirt or a jean jacket with dressier pleats. I love the inherent casual comfort that comes from loose layers that look like afterthoughts, but really aren’t. A lot of what I… Read more →
To curate: to select, arrange and present. Curating pieces to bring together in my own unique way is my preferred way to express myself from a fashion perspective IRL and in SL. I really appreciate SL creators who offer separates that can be curated as we see fit. For those of you who have been around SL for a long… Read more →
In your dreams, do you picture long, flowing gowns with lace, tulle and bows? In your dreams, do you imagine jewels worthy of the unique woman you are? In your dreams, do you wish for a magic button to get you in to full sims any time you want? YUH, me too!! Sadly, IRL I don’t have much need to… Read more →
In case you missed it (ICYMI), the long-awaited head/applier updates from Fiore have arrived. You should have received your updates automatically, but I definitely recommend visiting the re-delivery terminal at the main store to make sure everything is current. Why update? The biggest change is that now, each head comes with a central control HUD, which governs most of the… Read more →
I am going for completely undone looks today, smack in the middle of a heatwave. I spent the whole work week in stifling Miami Beach and then came home to Boston to not much better. #firstworldproblems When it’s this hot and humid, it’s not so much just wearing less clothes as it is wearing loose clothes and undone hair. I… Read more →
I have been working on a bunch of longer posts this week but time got away from me and I haven’t had a moment to finish them. So today, here’s quite literally just a quickie. But a goodie. A quickie goodie? If you do nothing else today in Second Life from a shopping perspective, do yourself a favor and pick… Read more →
I know, summer is supposed to be about short sundresses and skimpy skirts, amirite? Nothing against those, but for me, often predictable and sometimes uninspired. In this post, I’m going long for the summer and enjoying every moment of it. I am addicted to the colors of the long, gorgeous dresses from Tetra. Like delicious sorbets! When you want to… Read more →
Thank you to Stories & Co. for putting out a perfect Spring dress at Collabor88. The simple Chloe dress is – IMO – the ideal length for this time of year. I mean, it’s not lost on me that we’re in a virtual world and all, but um, not every woman wants to wear everything in ultrateenymini sizing…I’m just sayin’.… Read more →
As uninspired as I have been, I was just as quickly sparked back to life by recent releases! It’s so funny how one seemingly small piece can inspire a whole host of looks. In this case, I’m giving credit to fri.day and the Harper Clogs (24×7 pack, of course) available at Shiny Shabby. They’re not so much clog-ish (a good… Read more →
I have been away for the last week+ and am in serious need of some SL catch up time. However I don’t see it happening today as life is kinda crazy, so here’s a fashion and beauty round-up of some of the the items I think are really worth picking up. Like, really. Beauty First up, I have been on… Read more →
It’s one of those days where less is more. Where crisp whites, bright pops of color, and clean, minimal styles win me over. Also winning me over is the new applier from Glam Affair at Collabor88. I like it on my Gwen head best. Tangerine isn’t a terribly popular color in SL I don’t think. I happen to love it,… Read more →
I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →
