I Fancy

I have been so caught up elsewhere, I haven’t been blogging. I could give you the normal list of IRL or I could tell you that other things have my attention. Both would be true. It is the holidays after all and my main MMO has an expansion out. So instead, here are some things I Fancy. I realize today… Read more →

Like I said…

I say this a lot – like over and over – but to me, “beauty” is when things are imperfect. Give me wild, real brows and freckles or beauty marks all day er’day. Give me bright, real faces and less airbrushing. So Like I said… The truth is, perfection is boring ^^. In a world where we can literally be… Read more →

Crankypants

I have crankypants on. They are so uncomfortable that I am not showing you. But seriously, when it’s April and Mother (f-ing) Nature decides to give you 8 inches of snow, crankypants are a given. Also, so very little is inspiring me in SL fashion/beauty that I really haven’t felt compelled to blog. Just crankypants all around. The couple bright… Read more →

Too Much is Never Enough

Be honest. How many times do you wear your hairs in Second Life on average? For me, I wear my favorites over and over and over, as evidenced by the last year of blogging. But between hairs and shoes in Second life, too much is never enough. I am a certified “shoe whore” IRL and a “hair whore” in Second… Read more →

The Great Quarterly Inventory Purge

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 →

Lara Hurley for Genesis Lab’s Julia Mesh Head

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 →

It’s that time again: Q2 Hair Purge!

Like I did in Q1, I am in the process of doing the great quarterly purge of my inventory. In great contrast to my first years blogging, I am dead serious about keeping my inventory properly managed, organized and mostly, only containing items that I will actually use regularly. So, I always start with hair. Here are my TOP 10… Read more →

In my jeans

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 →

Casual Friday

  TGIF! This week has been rough for me so I could not be happier that it’s coming to a close. I am ready to get comfy and casual. This ensemble from Emery came into Collabor88 a little late so not as many people maybe saw it. For me, the simple, comfy feel was exactly what I was looking for… Read more →

Two Faced

While I was trying on this lovely new Moth Wings Necklace from Ane @ We <3 RP, I decided to do a little experiment. It’s no secret I have grown very fond of my new LeLutka mesh heads despite my worries, but I was beginning to miss the customizations with my “own” head and all the wonderful items that we… Read more →

Range

Fameshed is open and there is a very wide range of items available. A few of my favorites include this leather dress from Emery, shoes from Just Design and necklace from Cae. I rarely wear tattoos but I really like this one from Pervette available at Cosmopolitan. Unfortunately you can’t see the crow holding the rosary here, but it’s very… Read more →

On the bright side

I have said a few times that I really don’t like gacha very much. It’s fun-ish but can be frustrating. However, that has never stopped me from trying for something I have my eye on. I am epically stubborn. After so many tries, it becomes more about my stubbornness than my desire for whatever it is. Case in point, the… Read more →

Dreamy

Dreamy is a bit how I feel styling these pieces. The feeling you get from everything – the casual cargo pants, the undone hair, the loose fitting tunic. And of course the jewels. The magnificent jewels from Mandala, which I chose to dress down. Pretty dreamy. The cargo pants are by a designer totally new to me – Addams. They’re… Read more →

90 Days Later

~90 days and 60+ posts after I returned to blogging after many years away, I am on the verge of doing the first quarter purge of my inventory. I want to keep it at 20k or less. This is a spectacular goal considering I used to hover around 100k when I was blogging before. The only things in my inventory… Read more →

Intimate

I don’t wear a lot of intimates in SL other than foundation garments, but I really should. How cute are these? I happen to love the retro stylings from Lacuna and Atomic in these bra and panty sets. You don’t need to show a lot of skin to be sexy (but you do probably need a fuller shape than mine… Read more →
