I made my shape in 2006. Obviously I have made some tweaks to it over the years, but not much actually since I came back. I was always a petite avatar, in a sea of glamazons back in 2006 – 2008. Am I attached to my face and shape in SL? Yes, of course. Gillian in SL is an extension… Read more →
More from Shiny Shabby, the perfect retro, bohemian, vintage collection of treasures. It is so up my fashion alley. I won’t ever tire of it. There is a very special necklace there that I am not showing yet because I need something worthy of it, but I cannot wait to style it! I would not be surprised if practically every… Read more →
I coveted this hat from the moment I saw it. The perfect cloche ladies hat in a delicate cream. I am a diehard Downton Abbey fan, so this was not an option not to have. I miss Sybil :/ I did not style it in period 1920s obviously. And normally you would see a tighter hair underneath, but I wanted… Read more →
I mentioned in an earlier post that I am totally unfamiliar with the TV series Twin Peaks. I understand it’s coming back to Showtime next year, so maybe I will get a taste then. Admittedly, I am confused by the theme at this round of Collabor88, but only because I have no context. One thing I am never confused about… Read more →
Sometimes when I go too traditional (in either life), I need to shake things up, go a little overboard, be over the top. But still be me. I mixed some bold hairs with some of the newness at Maitreya, who released dresses, tops and skirts just for the Maitreya Lara mesh body. Rawr! Pink glitter is so overpowered. The… Read more →
You know you’re addicted to something when you have to acquire whatever it is. No matter what. You. Must. Have. It. This is how I am with Glam Affair skins. This appears to be a common problem with a lot of us. I also have this problem with hair, but it’s not just one designer >.< Read more →
These Boho Loops from Ane sparked my whole look today. Ribbons and pearls (technically, beads) bohemian style. I pretty much love everything I am wearing. The small pops of powder blue, the realism of the linen dress, and the sweet sandals by Pure Poison. I have to say I have really enjoyed the last several releases of Pure Poison shoes… Read more →
I feel like that’s a sports thing, but in this case, I am talking about hair. Little Bones doesn’t do subtle as far as I can see. This is a good thing because the hairs are unapologetic and the textures are very distinct to their brand. The shine on the browns is pretty epic although the stylings don’t always flatter… Read more →
I think the Vintage Chiffon dress from Zenith was one of the first items I saw teased from Shiny Shabby. I wanted it from the moment I saw it. I am very happy with it, although I think it’s hard to accessorize properly because it’s one of those dresses that speaks quite well for itself. The only thing I would… Read more →
More from the fantastic Shiny Shabby event, which I have already gushed over. More beautiful items that can be styled so many ways. Mmmmm I love the softness of this beautiful set by UFO. I will be going back for more colors because the texturing is exquisite. I love when something is not overdone but so obviously made with great… Read more →
I feel like a real bookworm sometimes. I’d rather get cozy with a book…than just about anything else (ok, not anything else). Today is my last day at home before braving the mountains of snow to get back into my office. It’s been so difficult to get anywhere in Boston because you can’t see around any corners, let alone share… Read more →
I saw these shoes when I first went to Feb L’accessoires but I skipped them the first time through because I normally look for shoes for my various mesh bodies. Of course, it was somehow lost on me that with the socks attached, I didn’t need to worry about feet at all! On my second pass through (am I the… Read more →
This little ensemble is called “Basic Coat Outfit.” Quite cute even though there’s not much to it. After all, it does say basic on the ad. I bought it because there’s something to be said for basic. A palette you can build off of if you choose. Navy and grey has always been one of my favorite combos so I… Read more →
If you spend time really looking at what you’re wearing in SL, it’s remarkable the level of detail and realism you can find. I spent some time doing that with this dress from Lumiere, which at first blush is a pretty, delicate lace fitted dress. But there’s a lot more to it when you dig in. Read more →
This outfit is slightly Oliver Twist inspired, but with a twist of red you could say. I loved the newsboy pants from Fashionably Dead and wanted to include something a little more unexpected. I dug around in my “new but not used” inventory and found this great hair from Olive, that I believe was a FLF offering around Christmas. Read more →
