Halloween is around the corner and Thanksgiving looms only weeks later. We’re entering Deep Fall here in the US. It’s still not time for snow or heavy coats just yet xD so I put together some of my recent favorites that fit with the season. Personally, if it could stay like this all year round, I would be quite happy.… Read more →

Let Me Just Eat My Hat
I have said a bunch of times that I don’t prioritize expressions on my mesh heads, and even, that I don’t care if they have them 😮 . I have changed my mind…sort of, so let me just eat my hat. *noms* OK. While I am still a lot more likely to buy a mesh head with no expressions, I… Read more →
Too Much is Never Enough
Be honest. How many times do you wear your hairs in Second Life on average? For me, I wear my favorites over and over and over, as evidenced by the last year of blogging. But between hairs and shoes in Second life, too much is never enough. I am a certified “shoe whore” IRL and a “hair whore” in Second… Read more →
Catwa Mesh Head: Jessica
After a lot of back and forth in my head about what I want in a mesh head and what I don’t prioritize, I decided the quality of the new Catwa Mesh Head was worth it – and especially as there are so many good makeup appliers that are already available for Jessica. Out of all the mesh heads I… Read more →
Editorial: What the Market will Bear
There’s more movement in the mesh head market with a surprise (to me) new entrant – Catwa. The Jessica mesh head is at a bit of a higher price point than other heads so you’re not going to see it everywhere, at least to start. I have tried the demo (above) and like it quite a lot, so it’s something… Read more →
Fashion Sated
My cravings for simple fall fashions are sated for the moment. I couldn’t be happier with all the simple, classic and casual choices available at a slew of events and in-store releases. I mentioned here that I had a feeling my friend Dakota Buck was coming back into the SL fashion world, and I was right! You can find Whippet… Read more →
Editorial: Transactional Fashion?
This is an opinion piece that’s been rattling around my head. I have attempted to put it out there without making it War and Peace length. I very much welcome comments and all different opinions! Think about how you shop for your clothes, shoes or accessories IRL. Those brands that you’re attached to and keep coming back to. You could… Read more →
Transition pieces for early fall
I know after the winter many of us had, I should not be looking forward to fall so much but tbh, it’s all about the clothes and makeups. Fabrics are slightly heavier, colors richer, hems longer. Good stuff in Second Life and ofc IRL! I am so happy that we’re nearly past the part of summer requiring basic sundresses, sandals… Read more →
And we’re back…
I don’t know about anyone else but I am wrapping up an incredibly intense work week. I couldn’t log in, definitely couldn’t blog, and was asleep by 10:00 most nights only to be back in the office again by 7:00 a.m. the next day 😮 It’s good to be back! Annoyingly, I actually did have a blog all tee’d up… Read more →
Some Stuff I Love
I feel like I am having to do this a lot – where there’s so much out there that I am loving, I need to do small compilations of things I am enjoying. Honestly though, it’s nice there’s a lull in events right now; it let’s me catch up and enjoy! In fact, I don’t need or plan to buy… Read more →
Hair Fair’s Last Licks
I believe today is the last day for Hair Fair 2015. I still have about 20 hairs in my inventory to wear O.o, and I will get there – but it clearly won’t be in time for the Fair to still be open. I am quite sure most people have been and shopped exhaustively, but just in case you missed… Read more →
Chignons and Updos
One of the favorite ways to wear my hair is up or back, casually in a chignon or more formally in an updo on special occasions. I put together a small compilation featuring some of my favorite new “ups” available at Hair Fair and elsewhere. I’m also wearing three different mesh heads, and had so much fun playing around with… Read more →
Genesis Labs: Jiang Mesh Head
This is going to be rather long so feel free to skip to the end for my TLDR summary. I am going to start with the things I like about Jiang, available now from Genesis Labs at Shiny Shabby. Firstly, she’s beautifully interesting to me. I knew as soon as I saw the previews that I would like her. She’s… Read more →
Shiny Shabby: Worth it!
Shiny Shabby opened to much fanfare once again. For me, this event is usually worth it in every way. It’s so well done, I could wander the streets for much longer than my shopping requires. I have so much to blog from the event, but I’m not one to blog everything at once, so above, I am actually only wearing… Read more →
#LoveWins
Here in the US, we had a momentous decision to make marriage legal for every person, regardless of sexual orientation. While we lag behind 17 other countries (I think), nothing has ever made me more proud of my country and more proud to be American. Love Wins! This has nothing to do with what I am blogging today, but I… Read more →
