Uber is back for me this round. And by that I mean that the last couple haven’t really been my thing. This one on the other hand is so full of items that I love. From the hairs to the apparel and skins. WOW. I absolutely loved it. Starting off – as is my tradition – with some of my… Read more →
I try to fill my inventory with items that can be separated from their “outfits.” The only downside to mesh really is that a lot of things tend to come as “meant to be worn all together” as one look. I am less interested in that although I understand it from a dress or suit perspective. In general, I prefer… Read more →
New from YSYS are the Ginny appliers, available at Shiny Shabby. I continue to adore the looks (I loved the first offering, Yvonne). The makeups on Ginny are very pretty, particularly the eyes, which can be super subtle and natural, or quite dramatic. You can choose between natural, smooth or freckled faces – and the freckles are particularly good. I also… Read more →
While I prefer fitted or longer styles usually, I can’t deny the lure of a flouncy skirt. So many good releases featuring this younger look. And coupled with gorgeous pops of tangerine and pink, they’re a suitable prelude to summer…or my trip to Dallas today! I <3 Fri.day heels. The new ones at Uber come in the absolute best… Read more →
What a good name for a brand. I have collected items from {amiable} over the last few months and they quickly took up a slot in my favorites folder. In general, nodoka’s designs are feminine, simple and often elegant, though mostly whimsical and young. Not too busy or trying too hard. Even something as simple in concept as a comfortable… Read more →
I felt a little bit prim and proper in these ensembles, without even meaning to. I was just snapping some recent releases that I liked and voila, apparently I am on my way to church…or a tea party? I love the new hairs from Lamb at N21. Overall, I didn’t really feel too many of the clothing offerings there, but… Read more →
Back when I started SL in 2006, there was a big movement to bring RL corporations into the “game.” I guess it was mildly successful for a short time, but in the end, it wasn’t really a business platform. During that time though, there was all sorts of “business wear” (a lot of it was terrible – made by these… Read more →
Yesterday was intimate, today is intricate. I feel like because designs in SL often have to be exaggerated to be “seen,” sometimes the subtleties of a piece of jewelry or belt, for example, are overlooked. So this is all about those details that make whatever we’re wearing special. Very. Even if you’re the only person who notices because everyone else… Read more →
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 →
Every now and then (OK, perhaps more often than that), I like to overdo my love of pink. I don’t particularly like hot pink, unless it’s like these a-mazing lips on my Glam Affair Alice skin. But petal pink? Yes, IRL and in SL, it’s something I tend to flock to – and have to really make myself stay away… Read more →
As the snow begins to fall once again here in Boston, I am ready for Spring – even if that means rain. I don’t care as long as it’s not snow. I had been looking for something to wear with this beautiful skirt in the week since Shiny Shabby opened, and I found it in this Glam Affair Gypsy tank… 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 →
