You know how that one small thing can make your look for the day? My one small thing today is my lipstick. A gorgeous matte red by alaskametro; the perfect contrast to my most favorite Sunny skin, which is now available in the palest tone 1. Both of these beauty items are new at ForMax, an event benefiting SL content… Read more →
I find myself really short on time (again). Work and life have collided in a profound way this week and I don’t expect to be able to post again before Sunday at the earliest. So for now, a short order post, with a beautiful short order dress with details that are anything but short on style. I will be behind… 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 →
Do you ever hope for something to be made in Second Life and then it happens? That’s a bit how I felt about the first skin for LeLutka from Milan by Milan Jones. Lisa is everything I love about Milan’s skins – but for the first time, on my favorite mesh head platform! A hope that came to be in… 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 met my match with this new skin applier from The Skinnery. I’m wearing Alix in the new Sorbet tone, which also means new Maitreya body appliers are available too. I love the “tummy” option on the new body appliers (each one is sold individually). Keep in mind, you can still use your old body appliers on previous skin tones… Read more →
Disenchanted isn’t a word I use often when it comes to fun things like fashion and beauty. But disenchanted is how I have been feeling despite there being some really good new releases around. I have been gobbling them all up but then, I’m unable to really be happy about how they come together for blogging. I think I need… Read more →
I’ve had a little change of heart re: subscription boxes. Well sort of and sometimes. Let me explain. I don’t really subscribe in general to subscription boxes in SL. I have tried Luxe Box (fun to unbox; some great content; good price) and now I have tried Powder Pack (for LeLutka only). I have also spent a lot of time… Read more →
This week I got a note from someone that said, “I miss when you looked more original. Currently you just look like another LeLutka bot.” I can assure you, I am not a bot. But if I were, I wouldn’t mind looking like this? Still uniquely my own I have talked about the reasons I am trending more towards wearing… Read more →
I’m don’t know what the weather is like by you, but here in Boston, we have had an early Spring in February! Yesterday was 68F 😮 Today will be much the same. To celebrate, here’s a casual look to love. One part bohemian, one part glam. Mixing one part boho; one part glam I wasn’t sure what I was going… Read more →
I am hitting the refresh button today. Taking a fresh look at what’s in my inventory and where the holes are. In particular, I am looking at ever-popular Second Life subscription “boxes” like Luxe Box (FD: the only one I participate in) and others. Is Second Life moving farther and farther away from a la carte to mostly event/themed/packaged shopping?… Read more →
I love this classic preppy duffle coat from Sleepy Eddy. It’s probably the best coat I have seen in SL…ever, actually. The details are impeccable. Two years later and this hair from Chemistry is still one of my oft worn. I added some bangs from Truth to change it up slightly, but it’s just a classic bun that also has… Read more →
“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 →
My favorite kind of frost nips at my nose and makes my cheeks rosy, but stays far away from my toes thank you very much. I loved all these new appliers for their fair, rosy glows – almost tinged with frost. What’s new in appliers? So much new in the overflowing world of Second Life appliers. You would think that… Read more →
