Do you ever hope…?

Do you ever hope for something to be made in Second Life and then it happens? That’s a bit how I felt about the first skin for LeLutka from Milan by Milan Jones. Lisa is everything I love about Milan’s skins – but for the first time, on my favorite mesh head platform! A hope that came to be in… Read more →

This is my RBF

This is my RBF. Yes, Resting Bitch Face. But it doesn’t have to be, as you probably know if you have been following the release of the new Bento head from LAQ. In typical Gillian style though, I really have to let new animations grow on me. Sometimes they never do. Or sometimes they become as core to the head… Read more →

And now for something completely different

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 →

Adam n Eve @ Skin Fair

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 →

My Minimalist Friday

There’s something to be said for a minimalist Friday, particularly at the end of an exhausting work week AND a major blizzard. Oy. My minimalist Friday includes a simple chignon from Tableau Vivant. Hello, my beautiful bow. You should be named Gillian. However your name is “Bow updo.” /rekt Cozy Comfort Coupled with a cozy, comfortable sweater and structured tweed… Read more →

Winter Whites

I’m wearing winter whites today, inspired by a breathtakingly cold day in Boston. I needed something to inspire some warmth, ok? In addition to my whites, I hit up Tram yesterday for FLF and found a great sale I had no idea about -_-. Most fatpacks are deeply discounted. I feasted on that for sure but I did note how… Read more →

Neutral Territory

I’m still hanging out in neutral territory today – my favorite place to be a lot of the time 😮 Mesh Body Addicts – August 1 On August 1, Mesh Body Addicts opens where you can find these pretty skirts by new to me, fame femme. I love the length and the light, tulle-like texture. It comes with options for… Read more →

The Heat is On

Here in Boston, Summer just bodyslammed us. Until now we’ve had a hot day here and there, but mostly just nice, warm summer days. When the heat is on, it makes dressing comfortably more difficult, so I turn to simple sheath dresses as my go-to. Like this one from NuDoLu at The Seasons Story. Trinity from LAQ Yes, I am… Read more →

Summer Fashion: Going Long

I know, summer is supposed to be about short sundresses and skimpy skirts, amirite? Nothing against those, but for me, often predictable and sometimes uninspired. In this post, I’m going long for the summer and enjoying every moment of it. I am addicted to the colors of the long, gorgeous dresses from Tetra. Like delicious sorbets! When you want to… Read more →

Stuck in a rut

I have been scarce on my blog because I am stuck in a bit of a rut. A fashion rut. It’s interesting because IRL, the very opposite is true and I quite happily have been shopping and styling my socks off. It’s been a beautiful, if a little chilly, Spring in Boston. In SL, I have dozens of things that… Read more →

Two Lius

This is Liu Wen, new mesh head from Genesis Lab at Kustom9. For this gacha, you have to *really* decide ahead of time if you want to put all that money into the machine to get the one useful item. What good is a skin applier or eye makeup HUD for an Asian-head when you don’t have the head to go… Read more →

I don’t hate Valentines Day

I don’t hate Valentine’s Day. It’s a great day to love yourself and feel beautiful, regardless of relationship status. Wear pink or red, or don’t. Better yet, do whatever makes you happy on whatever day you want! Enjoy your Valentine’s but more importantly, enjoy your day! xoxo Read more →

Strike My Fancy

Quick on the heels of my very short 2016 wish list, I have been sniffing around the events in the new year, looking for items that really strike my fancy. Oddly enough, only a few things have grabbed me. Some great hairs, select appliers, and accessories here and there. Have the winter doldrums stolen my zest for shopping? No, I… Read more →

Girlie & Glam

I am kicking off the New Year with a post that embodies two of my favorite stylings, Girlie & Glam. Thankfully the creators of Second Life offer plentiful inventory for both categories. Today also kicks off my HUGE inventory purge. I have a number in mind I want to get it down to, so I will be ruthless. I actually… Read more →

Party Dresses and Bows

I do love party dresses in both lives, and these are two of the best new ones in my inventory. I also LOVE bows. Elika of Elikatira knows this and it has not faded as I have matured in any way. If you want me to buy or wear something, just add a bow 🙂 And no, I do not… Read more →
