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 →

Fashion Sated

My cravings for simple fall fashions are sated for the moment. I couldn’t be happier with all the simple, classic and casual choices available at a slew of events and in-store releases. I mentioned here that I had a feeling my friend Dakota Buck was coming back into the SL fashion world, and I was right! You can find Whippet… Read more →

Revisiting LeLutka Mesh Heads

I haven’t worn my LeLutka mesh heads in a while. They are still the most well-made heads on the grid with the most effective ways to extend their wear with so many gorgeous appliers from dozens of skinners, but for me, I need new ones to get excited again. Once I see something *everywhere* I personally tend to wear it… 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 →

Revisiting some favorites

Despite more event openings, I really began this look with revisiting some of my favorites, both in my inventory and by visiting the main stores of several designers. Novel, I know! After I came back to SL last winter, “Blair” (The Skinnery) was the first skin I fell in love with after Glam Affair. I can’t get enough of the… 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 →

Some Sun

Pixel Gillian is looking slightly sunburned today, much like her RL counterpart. I am actually super careful of the sun with my fair skin, but even I can stay out a little long sometimes. I’m wearing the new face from The Skinnery called Emily in champagne tone and available at The Seasons Story. I also added some freckles, sunburned blush… Read more →

Making a Statement

I was inspired by several items I have collected over this last week to focus a post on making a statement. My necklace from Shi is very much a statement necklace, although I have done a masterful job of hiding some of it :p I also love the new ring set from ieQED at We <3 RP. You don’t have… 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 →

Silke from The Skinnery

I was hoping for LeLutka head appliers from The Skinnery and Silke arrived yesterday at The Chapter Four second anniversary. I LOVE <3!! The Silke appliers can be worn with any of your LeLutka Mesh heads. I am wearing them here on Stella, Lotte and Karin for example. Silke creates a really “full” face if that makes sense. The appliers… Read more →

Splash of Color

Splashes of color everywhere. I love this look from David Heather. The arms are fixed in the pockets, which creates a nice streamlined look in photos but can be a little awkward just shopping around. I’m also wearing eyeshadow from Angelica, found at the Wayward Hunt (the Angelica mainstore is one of the most lovely I have seen in SL… Read more →

Darker

I tend to stick to fair tones in skins, maybe because that’s what I am IRL. But I do love going darker too. The tones from The Skinnery – Toffee, Mocca, etc. – are so incredibly done that I enjoy wearing them as much as my favorite champagne or milk tones. My clothing is mostly new from some recent events.… Read more →

Hi, I suck at hunts

Hi, I’m Gillian and I suck at hunts. I have spent many hours searching the Wayward Hunt sites and failed a lot. I did finally find the skin I had been coveting from The Skinnery but admittedly, I had help from a lovely fellow hunter who helped me. We had both spent ridiculous amounts of time over 2 days trying… Read more →
