Playing Catch Up

I am just back from almost two weeks away and am playing a serious game of Catch Up! I don’t know if/when I will get through everything I intended to blog but I will certainly try. I have missed sooooooo much and my IMs were capped on the first day so if you tried to contact me, please send a… 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 →

Once in a while…

…a change in my style is so refreshing. Yes, this isn’t my usual, everyday style, but Second Life makes dressing so much fun when you’re feeling like a change. I built my looks all around my favorite Glam Affair skin probably of all time. Sia – or Sia II to be exact. This was a FLF offering last week and… Read more →

Early Fall Fashion for the Simple Girl

Early fall fashion offers the best clothes, best makeups and a reason to wear boots again \0/. I am pushing it a little as it’s still over 90 degrees here, but the leaves are definitely already turning. It’s beautiful. So here are some early fall looks from a few new releases anchored on simple, fun and staple fashions. The dress… 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 →

Collabor88 is dreamy…really dreamy

There are very few Second Life events where I will be so effusive about the content or the experience that I get all hyperbolic. This round – the Daydream birthday round – of Collabor88  is literally the most dreamy of them all. If you’re a fan of the soft and feminine, this is your round too. I would just like to… Read more →

Inspired by…

Today I was inspired by the new Lalora hair from Elikatira available at We <3 RP. I’m wearing a lot of grey and white hairstyles lately, and I love them against a tanned skin, which was a FLF skin from Glam Affair called Artemis. *I really* love this skin and it’s the first time I have seen it. I normally… 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 →

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 →

Mermaids for Some

Collabor88 for July is open and it’s quite good, particularly if you like mermaids and starfish 😉 For me, I found some great staples for my wardrobe that I will definitely reuse. Though they may have nothing to do with “under the sea,” there’s always something for everyone at this event, not to mention absolutely great prices. I keep crashing… Read more →

Genesis Labs: Chloe 2.0 Mesh Head

Like so many of you, I’m beginning to branch out to try other mesh heads. I have reviewed several over the last month, and of course, I wear LeLutka regularly. This time it’s Genesis Labs Chloe (2.0) available at The Fantasy Collective. Firstly I will say that while I don’t find Chloe all that “pretty,” I find her look really… Read more →

In my jeans

I love rainy, lazy Sundays. I just got home from shopping and I’m sitting here in my most favorite jeans. Comfortable but not sloppy. Of course I have favorites in SL too. Until now, those included primarily two: coated denim from ISON and the new Luna rolled cuff jeans from Blueberry. I am now adding Deer Co. Upjeans to my… Read more →

A dress is a dress…

…but often, the shoes help make the dress. At least these shoes do 😀 I was so happy when I logged in tonight to find The Secret Store released new T-strap heels, including ones for Maitreya Lara feet \o/. There are lots of colors available including brights, neutrals and pastels. I didn’t have time to snap them all, so here’s… Read more →

Alena

This is Lara Hurley’s first contribution to the LeLutka mesh head market. Alena is shown here in the Milky tone (the lightest available). I think Alena is absolutely beautiful. Shown here on my Lotte head, the pack comes in your chosen tone with an applier for all 6 available mesh heads. There are 4 eyebrow options for each type of… Read more →

Over it

This is my favorite Collabor88 to date. I’m kinda over the whole sweet skirt thing for now so I was happy to see that some of my favorite designers went a different direction here. Like these slick jeans from Tres Blah. And this perfectly textured romper from Tee*fy. I am showing navy here because it’s super rich. My favorite pieces… Read more →
