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 say I am waiting until more heads arrive and I’m basically taking a break from my mesh head craze. I wear beautiful new skins for my standard AV head and blog effusively about them. I put back on my head(s) to review some new appliers. My addiction isn’t cured. I am not reconditioned. Though I clearly failed at my… Read more →
Beauty in SL is a real pleasure to cover. I feel like the last several days have seen so many quality skin and hair releases for everyone to enjoy. Today I’m featuring Glam Affair’s Eles face, in Asia. This tone is available at The Conquest event as a gacha item only. The makeups are as varied as you would expect… Read more →
I love some of the new body conscience items at Fameshed this round. This first dress is new from Glam Affair. While there are great colors available, I loved this pale creme against a tanned, freckled skin. I’m also showing some very old items today: jewelry from Muse and bouquet from Paper Couture. I don’t think you can even get… Read more →
Here in Boston, summer has arrived. I’m celebrating with colors that are maybe less than summery :p. Like I talked about here, I’m very into things I can break up and wear as I like. This handkerchief top from miss chelsea is simple and very well done, and I love that it’s not attached to anything (although there are bottoms… 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 →
Shiny Shabby opened up once again. I adore this event so much although I felt like the hairs won out this round by a long shot. There were like a half dozen all in one place that were all very well done. The new appliers from Glam Affair are beautiful and ever so different than the previous 4 applier releases.… Read more →
I am just back from a trip to Dallas where everything is in full bloom, fresh and lush. There’s no place like home, though. So happy to be back – and finding upon my return, even more appliers for the LeLutka mesh heads (with more heads being released soon!). These are from New Faces, and seem to be only available… 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 →
This is Mudskin’s Ria at Shiny Shabby in the chocolate tone. I just love this face – the subtle freckles, the lovely lips, and all the tattoo options you get in each makeup pack. Once again, I am wearing a much darker tone than my usual Sunny but I love it, particularly the contrast with my light eyes from [Buzzeri],… Read more →
So Shiny Shabby opened today. No secret how much I love this event. It’s so thoughtfully done – with a notecard containing a direct TP to every creator. While there are lot of very feminine dresses and accessories to choose from, I went a little hipster this time because I’m feeling spicy. I’m wearing Skye from Entwined, which is available… 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 →
