Fall Booties

Last year’s fall boot for me was definitely more equestrian-inspired. This fall? Ankle boots and booties! I might marry my new Rag & Bone booties IRL and I am almost as impressed with the new SL inventory as well. I used to gravitate to jeans when wearing ankle boots, but I definitely feel like skirts/dresses do the job just as… Read more →

Graceful Ribbons

The romantic in me will always be searching for tulle skirts, and tasteful, crystal beading, and graceful ribbons. Back when I was blogging the first time around SL, my never ending search of those bows was well documented. I don’t really do much Kawaii and I don’t RP as a kid, I just really love the addition of a graceful… Read more →

In Your Dreams

In your dreams, do you picture long, flowing gowns with lace, tulle and bows? In your dreams, do you imagine jewels worthy of the unique woman you are? In your dreams, do you wish for a magic button to get you in to full sims any time you want? YUH, me too!! Sadly, IRL I don’t have much need to… Read more →

Neutral Territory

I’m still hanging out in neutral territory today – my favorite place to be a lot of the time 😮 Mesh Body Addicts – August 1 On August 1, Mesh Body Addicts opens where you can find these pretty skirts by new to me, fame femme. I love the length and the light, tulle-like texture. It comes with options for… Read more →

Joyful Bursts of Color

Today felt like a better day to showcase the joyful bursts of color I mentioned earlier this week. I am definitely feeling more hopeful this beautiful morning, so for all my lovers of color, this one is for you. I am wearing the fresh new mesh head from Catwa, and beautiful tangerine dress from Lowen, at Kustom9. My gorgeous clutch… Read more →

Dress up!

Thank you to Stories & Co. for putting out a perfect Spring dress at Collabor88. The simple Chloe dress is – IMO – the ideal length for this time of year. I mean, it’s not lost on me that we’re in a virtual world and all, but um, not every woman wants to wear everything in ultrateenymini sizing…I’m just sayin’.… Read more →

Crisp, Clean, Minimal

It’s one of those days where less is more. Where crisp whites, bright pops of color, and clean, minimal styles win me over. Also winning me over is the new applier from Glam Affair at Collabor88. I like it on my Gwen head best. Tangerine isn’t a terribly popular color in SL I don’t think. I happen to love it,… Read more →

Unconventional Beauty

I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →

The Shift

We didn’t have much of a winter in Boston this year, which is fine, considering last year. The shift has started though – and temperatures are expected to top 70 degrees here this week 😮 In honor of climate change, I am breaking out shorts very early. It’s not quite warm enough for this today IRL but soon, very soon.… Read more →

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 →

Lip Potions

The new series of Lip Potions from The Skinnery are right up my beauty alley. Firstly, I love the word “potion.” Secondly, the rich colors are just gorgeous. Who doesn’t love a matte lip in fall or winter? Yum. The newest version of Lip Potions are exclusively for Catwa mesh heads, available at The Chapter Four. I was so inspired… Read more →

A Little Dab’ll Do Ya

I am one of those freaks of nature who don’t really like red. It’s a color I almost never wear – in either life. The only time of year I will even consider it is around the holidays. And even then, usually only on my nails or a scarf or clutch. I don’t even like red roses 😮 But, I… Read more →

Beige Isn’t Boring

Beige isn’t boring to me. Not IRL and not in SL, where sometimes subtle colors or designs go overlooked. It’s a staple that can be worn in any season, except maybe the Christmas holidays? Even then…I might still wear it as a winter almost white 🙂 I would just like to say that I especially covet the skirt from OVH… Read more →

All Shopped Out

I’m all shopped out. In the last week my inventory grew by embarrassing amounts with all the wonderful fall wears, and skins, and hairs, and…I probably went the most nuts at The Seasons Story because it means it’s been one full year since I logged back in to Second Life after an epic break. TSS was the very first place… 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 →
