Does anyone else follow Pantone’s “color of the year” ? They do such a good job of marketing but did you know they do this for seasons too? I happened to notice today as I was looking up paint colors, that one of my favorite colors – the one I normally refer to as “blush” – is actually “pale dogwood.”… Read more →
I have been lamenting for a while that it’s been difficult for me to evaluate or even properly demo any of the Bento mesh heads from Genesis Lab. Until this one. So, now for something completely different, I am wearing Sofie, new from Genesis Lab. The reason this one is different for me and I am trying it? It was… Read more →
Please spare me any more renditions of laced “gladiator” sandals and “rompers” this season, if possible. I know these seem to be super popular in SL but … there are seriously 30+ different versions out right now and I cannot figure out why? How did I miss the origins of these two polar opposite trends that appear only in Second… Read more →
“I like to be perfect but I don’t like perfection.” – Alber Elbaz How true, Mr. Elbaz (one of my most favorite designers and fashion personalities – famous for hating to be seen as a “personality” and hating to have his photo taken). What does this have to do with what I am wearing? Well, I guess I find “perfection”… Read more →
This is Ella, a very beautiful skin for LeLutka mesh heads by Adam n Eve’s sachi Vixen. I can remember blogging sachi’s creations wayyyyyyyy back when. It’s great to see her still so active and successful in Second Life. I am showing the skin in “EB” tone, and with LeLutka Simone’s eyebrows, rather than the provided eyebrow textures. I love… Read more →
Now that Skin Fair is in full swing, I’m really checking out the wear-ability of all my new skins and one new head. Cate. From LeLutka, of course. I am also wearing a skin from Candy Doll that I didn’t expect to like, but I do! I originally waited to wear Cate after getting what I can only describe as… Read more →
This is Kirsten from YSYS, another new skin applier for LeLutka at Skin Fair 2017. One of the best things about Skin Fair for me is really expanding my skin portfolio but also, starting fresh. What??? You mean, you actually delete older skins/appliers and start over? Yes, yes I do. Don’t twitch when I tell you… I don’t even box… Read more →

A dreamy winter day in soft, pink sweaters, minimal makeup and casual hair. I love the new Susan skin applier from Glam Affair at the Epiphany. I don’t have enough points for the Polar tone exclusives yet but I am working on it. Gacha with a twist…of control? Gacha with a twist of control While it’s true that gacha is… 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 →
I regularly collect and recommend most skins and appliers from Belleza. Shyla creates such a distinct style across all her faces, and consistently offers some of the most beautiful on the grid, IMO. The new “Jordan” applier is no exception. With full options for eyebrows, lips and eye make-ups, as well as blush and freckles, she is stunning. I am… Read more →
I am currently packing my bags and getting ready to skedaddle to Scotland for a couple weeks for some exploring! I have never been to that part of the UK, so I am very, very excited! There is so much I wanted to blog before I left but technical difficulties got in the way (as a result, the quality of… Read more →
Layering in the summer is almost unheard of. But, it can be done. It can even be done in Second Life, where it’s significantly harder to layer effectively due to meshes and sizing. For regular readers, if you saw this pleated skirt from Tetra @Uber, you had to know I was going to go nuts for it. Indeed, it’s like… 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 →
