The Glamorous

I was inspired by the “Fanny” hair from Tableau Vivant to go a bit glamorous. Though this first hair is a few releases ago, much of what you’ll find at this month’s Collabor88 and the most recent Uber is also quite glamorous. I especially love Tableau Vivant’s blonde tones. I am wearing a bunch of my older favorites including my… Read more →

Perfect Pairings

I haven’t blogged all week but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been out and about 😉 I just really wasn’t as inspired as I need to be to put things together that I have been acquiring. Until today that is. From sales and events, to items I just love from my inventory – some perfect pairings for your weekend enjoyment.… Read more →

United Colors

If anyone else remembers Benetton, then you might remember the United Colors campaigns that were so ahead of their time. Today it’s normal to see diversity celebrated in major media, but back in the 80s and 90s, not so much. But Benetton embraced the beautiful differences in women of every size and shape, color and ethnicity. These ads made a… Read more →

Too Cute

Taking an outfit that I could potentially make “too cute” and instead, make it feel a bit more sophisticated was just what I was looking for today. I pretty much love everything I am wearing, although the skirt on this set from Zenith @ Kustom9 is a tad too short for my general, everyday tastes. Even so, I love the… Read more →

Dressing for Fall …When it’s Still Hot Out?

It happens to be almost 75 degrees here in Boston today. It’s beautiful, blustery with remnants of a passing hurricane, and bursting with fall color. But it’s not like I can walk outside with my favorite cape or I would broil. So, how am I dressing seasonally appropriate when it’s so warm out? Like ^ that. Maybe I would add… Read more →

The Great Quarterly Inventory Purge

It’s that time again. Every quarter (three months), I go through my inventory for the Great Quarterly Inventory Purge and pick out my personal favorite hairs of the previous quarter. I meticulously go through and delete items in my inventory that I can’t see reusing. Why? Because I like to keep my inventory tidy and compact; very unlike the first… Read more →

Minimal

I loved this simple dress from COCO and every time I went to add something, it looked wrong. So I added almost nothing – just a ring – and it felt perfect. Sometimes, I guess minimal is more. I felt like the stars of the look were really the skin applier from Lara Hurley and hair from Tableau Vivant, both… Read more →

Sashaying to my own song

It’s no secret that my favorite way to dress in both lives is to mix my look up but stay true to my core style. Mixed textures, mixed tones, all of it. We all definitely sashay to our own fashion songs, which makes personal style maybe the most accessible way to assert our individuality on a daily basis, regardless of… Read more →

Almost Imperceptible

Where I live, once the calendar hit about August 6, an almost imperceptible change happened. Lights in my house are now being flipped on around 7:00 rather than 8:00. The air conditioning isn’t running much and the evening air has the slightest hint of a chill. The seasons are signaling a change. It’s my favorite time of year, but so… 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 →

A Collection

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 →

It’s that time again: Q2 Hair Purge!

Like I did in Q1, I am in the process of doing the great quarterly purge of my inventory. In great contrast to my first years blogging, I am dead serious about keeping my inventory properly managed, organized and mostly, only containing items that I will actually use regularly. So, I always start with hair. Here are my TOP 10… Read more →

I keep telling myself…

The Arcade Gacha. Well, as much as I tell myself I just won’t do it. I still do. And that’s of course because the content calls for it. I’m wearing the new face from The Skinnery, which was worth the trip by itself quite honestly. I really do hope to see more applier-based skins for LeLutka very soon too. I… Read more →

Separate but equal

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 →

This and That

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 →
