I adore long hair. In the last year I had my stylist cut my hair into a medium bob and I cried for days. #firstworldproblems. It took me a year to grow it out and today it’s finally the perfect length for me. I am kinda obsessed with it actually. In SL of course, perfect hair for the day is… Read more →
I have so much new stuff in my inventory. What you see here is a collection of a few looks I put together based on all this “stuff” – all of which I really love, btw. Firstly I’ll mention that The Skinnery has just moved and there’s a new group gift in the store, plus all the basic AV skins… Read more →
I put some simple looks together featuring ISON’s Gladiator sandals, just updated for Maitreya and on sale this weekend. Fatpack prices are so good and I pretty much never say that. You can click to make it bigger (I think – I don’t usually embed from Flickr). Head: LeLutka Stella Skin/Makeups: Glam Affair Eyes: [Buzz] Headband: Zenith *@Kustom9* Hair:… Read more →
Like so many of you, I’m beginning to branch out to try other mesh heads. I have reviewed several over the last month, and of course, I wear LeLutka regularly. This time it’s Genesis Labs Chloe (2.0) available at The Fantasy Collective. Firstly I will say that while I don’t find Chloe all that “pretty,” I find her look really… 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 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 make no apologies for being a lover of the preppy. In SL a lot of times you can see that style come through in the items I choose to work with. I definitely favor simple, tailored pieces that can be mixed and matched and I would choose a tailored blouse and shorts or chinos over pretty much anything else… Read more →
Like many of you, I was super excited to see the first glimpses of new skin appliers for the Undivided mesh heads. Here are three looks with YSYS appliers on Ever, Leda and Aria, from left to right. And according to Minnu’s Flickr, more mesh heads are coming xD! My favorite option with these appliers are the freckles – soooo… Read more →
I am a big fan of ISON by Harry Hyx. There aren’t loads of releases but you can usually catch ISON at Collabor88 monthly, and it’s always something to look forward to. For the punk-inspired round, Harry offers a structured dress with loads of detail that make this particular dress a staple. I particularly like it in the deep eggplant… 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 →
I remember Skin Fair from way back when. Probably different organizers now, I really don’t know. Anywayyyyy, in classic Gillian style, I rushed in and out. I picked up 1000 demos (I only know because my inventory went up by a huge amount) and purchased a few of my “sure things” from Glam Affair, The Skinnery and Belleza. By now,… 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 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 →
One of the ways I express my style offline is to include small pops of my favorite colors into my daily wear, most often through accessories, so as not to overwhelm with one color. The pop I’ve included here is Rowne’s Vittoria Leather Tote in powder (Feb Collabor88) in an otherwise muted outfit. The bag is similar to the one… Read more →
