“I like to be perfect but I don’t like perfection.” – Alber Elbaz How true, Mr. Elbaz (one of my most favorite designers and fashion personalities – famous for hating to be seen as a “personality” and hating to have his photo taken). What does this have to do with what I am wearing? Well, I guess I find “perfection”… Read more →
This week I got a note from someone that said, “I miss when you looked more original. Currently you just look like another LeLutka bot.” I can assure you, I am not a bot. But if I were, I wouldn’t mind looking like this? Still uniquely my own I have talked about the reasons I am trending more towards wearing… Read more →
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 →
Now that Skin Fair is in full swing, I’m really checking out the wear-ability of all my new skins and one new head. Cate. From LeLutka, of course. I am also wearing a skin from Candy Doll that I didn’t expect to like, but I do! I originally waited to wear Cate after getting what I can only describe as… Read more →
This is Samaira. She is the only skin I am previewing from Skin Fair that isn’t for LeLutka but for Fiore. Samaira is one of three new skin appliers for Fiore from one of my favorite skin artists, Milan. IMO, Milan makes the most beautiful dark skins in Second Life and I would loveeeee if she would work on the… Read more →
This is Kirsten from YSYS, another new skin applier for LeLutka at Skin Fair 2017. One of the best things about Skin Fair for me is really expanding my skin portfolio but also, starting fresh. What??? You mean, you actually delete older skins/appliers and start over? Yes, yes I do. Don’t twitch when I tell you… I don’t even box… Read more →
Wow, what a difference a year makes. Skin Fair 2017 (beautifully done by Esode and Pale Girl Productions) has nearly arrived and unlike what I claimed last year, appliers are basically all you will find. If you’re still wearing system skins, well…I suspect most people who read beauty blogs have long been on the mesh head train anyway 😉 What… Read more →
I’m making a case for champagne with this dress from Azul. I have never worn inventory from this creator before, and the Zaria dress is unique, with bell sleeves and a satin overlay bodice. Very, very pretty and so fun to style. It also comes with flexi parts (not shown). I remember when flexi came to the grid (yes, my… Read more →
I just learned that Boston is expecting a foot of snow on Sunday. LOL. So yeah, I decided to focus on Spring colors today. Please, let it Spring (instead of snow)! Thank you in advance. I am still quite obsessed with the new Lien applier from Bold & Beauty available at Skin Fair. I mean I haven’t really taken it… Read more →
My final little compilation of Skin Fair and my top picks, an ode to system skins. I happen to LOVE system skins, so please don’t stop making them! Quite honestly, the most favorite skins in my inventory are NOT appliers…yet. My three top system skin picks from Skin Fair this year are from Tuli, Lara Hurley and Bold & Beauty.… Read more →
Part II of my top picks at Skin Fair continues, this time focusing on Fiore, one of my newer recommended head lines. There are several applier releases from Fiore at Skin Fair, as well as other creators for the 5 Fiore heads. For my purposes, I picked two of Fiore’s own offerings: Doll and Taylor. Two totally different skins with… Read more →
Yesterday I said, “I can’t see getting too many appliers…” All I can say to that is LOL. I was super impressed with some of the new appliers, primarily for Catwa heads. I did also pick up some new system skins, but I’ll start with my Skin Fair Top Picks for Catwa in Part I… In terms of Catwa appliers,… 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 →
As I prepare space in my inventory for Shiny Shabby (yay!!!!)…I take a hard look at what I haven’t worn and consider why…why do things get stuck in my inventory? #1 – Where would I wear it? I love the look of whatever it is but for whatever reason, it won’t be seen beyond my attic skybox. It’s SL so… Read more →
I loved this round of Kawaii Project, but it’s true that I don’t really do kawaii really well >.< Still, I absolutely LOVE these shoes by Kata0nik. They are just tiny bits of perfection. With my pixie hair from Moon, I feel a bit like a pretty little imp. Is that a thing? Another item from Kawaii Project, this sweet… Read more →
