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 →
I say I am waiting until more heads arrive and I’m basically taking a break from my mesh head craze. I wear beautiful new skins for my standard AV head and blog effusively about them. I put back on my head(s) to review some new appliers. My addiction isn’t cured. I am not reconditioned. Though I clearly failed at my… Read more →
I worked some leather into my summer wardrobe in ways that would still be bearable in RL heat. I’m *almost* to my vacation so my casual looks are inspired by all that time I will take to dress down and shop…a lot. A couple comments: The new leather pants from Addams are very good – as most of their items… 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 →
I’m ready for even more heads, LeLutka and others! We have reached critical mass with skin/makeup appliers and now the drumbeat is growing louder for more heads, pl0x. These new appliers are from Swallow, available only at the new Alice event (I hate the name, but you guys know which one). I imagine you can’t just whip them up, but… Read more →
I mentioned I have been trying on other mesh heads recently, because I have pretty much become addicted to the sharp features in snapshots. And, with so many artists making appliers for the LeLutka heads, there’s a ton you can do to customize and still be you…so here’s another head I have added to my growing collection. This one by… Read more →
Yesterday I reviewed the new LeLutka mesh head appliers from Modish. I couldn’t really get past the issues with the Lara body appliers so I didn’t spend time covering close-ups, even though I said I liked the face. Ivone is quite pretty as you can see and I particularly like the dark eyebrows. I won’t rehash all of what I… Read more →
I feel like I have more new, great hairs than ever before. I’m still catching up from Fameshed and We <3 RP in fact. But, I am pretty good about reusing hairs, so unless the designer doesn’t put a picture in with the pack, I am sure to use them again. Anywayyyy, here are some more new hairs I love.… Read more →
I started down this path somewhat yesterday, but I do believe I have reached the point – surprised as I am – that I really do prefer mesh heads to standard AV heads, in snapshots anyway. They just allow for much sharper features with no post processing, and after getting used to them, it doesn’t feel as strange anymore. The… 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 am messing around with very dark tones again. I feel like with the freckles, the Jamaica tone from Glam Affair is very pretty even though I am almost always so fair. My jeans are new from CandyDoll and come in packs with 20 ombres or ripped patterns for good value. I picked up the ombre pack, showing some examples… Read more →
Here in Boston, summer has arrived. I’m celebrating with colors that are maybe less than summery :p. Like I talked about here, I’m very into things I can break up and wear as I like. This handkerchief top from miss chelsea is simple and very well done, and I love that it’s not attached to anything (although there are bottoms… 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 →
