A penchant for lace

Lace: so sexy, decadent, and seductive. I cannot believe I used to hate this fabric IRL. It’s true. It used to make me itch – but I didn’t know that was only because it was cheap and I was 16. Times have changed. In my opinion, no other fabric understands women’s bodies like lace. Also, it doesn’t have to be… Read more →

With a Twist

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 →

Hello, Holidays

This week kicks off another year of making merry, beginning here in the US with Thanksgiving tomorrow. I am already working on my holiday wardrobe IRL and noting how much easier it is in SL! I am wearing a new applier by Milan for fiore, shown on three different head shapes. I will just say that Milan has quickly become… Read more →

My fall palette

My fall palette includes a sweet red lip and smoky eye on one day, and a taupe lip and precise winged eyeliner the next. Glam Affair is one of my favorite skin makers (shocker??!!) – and Aida has really embraced the Catwa line of mesh heads to expand her appliers. I mean, you can find new offerings at virtually every… Read more →

A Standout Coat

Are you a military style coat lover? Or is a traditional, cashmere walker your top pick? Would you go modern with a puffer and faux fur? Or stay classic with smooth leather? I love coats and this season there are so many standout options to covet. In Second Life, I am waiting for someone amazing to make the flare sleeved… Read more →

Fall Booties

Last year’s fall boot for me was definitely more equestrian-inspired. This fall? Ankle boots and booties! I might marry my new Rag & Bone booties IRL and I am almost as impressed with the new SL inventory as well. I used to gravitate to jeans when wearing ankle boots, but I definitely feel like skirts/dresses do the job just as… Read more →

Short and Sweet

While I listen to Sia’s new single The Greatest on repeat (so good), I am doing a short and sweet post. I am wearing three new appliers, all beautiful. My favorite is Glam Affair’s Viktoria, which is out today for FLF. I am guilty of acquiring way more than I have been blogging, but I have been itching to jump… Read more →

Unpacking my bags

Just returned from my vacation to Scotland and am avoiding unpacking my bags. Instead, I am diving back in to SL fashion (as my RL clothes sit in my suitcase). As I let the jetlag wash over me, I am delighting in all the wonderful items released in my absence. While apparently I am perfectly fine leaving everything strewn around… 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 →

Layering in the Summer

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 →

Undone – in a heatwave

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 →

Elaborate Embellishments: A Bag Worth Buying

I can remember a time when I didn’t put a lot of thought into using bags for my blogs in Second Life. This was back in the days long before mesh, hell, before anything other than carrying what were essentially shoe boxes on your arm. No really. It’s so nice to be able to not just blog, but regularly actually… Read more →

While I wait for Windows 10 to download…

As I wait for Windows 10 to finish its massive, gargantuan download, I bring you some items that make me happy in Second Life. First, I’ll mention that ELIKA is back \o/ and she is releasing new hair later today at Fameshed. Felicity (does anyone remember this show? I was addicted to it) is – of course – soooo pretty… Read more →

This is my jam

As uninspired as I have been, I was just as quickly sparked back to life by recent releases! It’s so funny how one seemingly small piece can inspire a whole host of looks. In this case, I’m giving credit to fri.day and the Harper Clogs (24×7 pack, of course) available at Shiny Shabby. They’re not so much clog-ish (a good… 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 →
