I find myself really short on time (again). Work and life have collided in a profound way this week and I don’t expect to be able to post again before Sunday at the earliest. So for now, a short order post, with a beautiful short order dress with details that are anything but short on style. I will be behind… Read more →
The countdown is on. I leave tomorrow night (!!!) and I’ve got my ticket to travel. I get so anxious before I travel but am usually OK when I get wherever I’m going. Here’s hoping it all goes ok! Anyway, how much do I love this skin from amara, in this month’s LeLutka Powder Pack? A whole lot. Not a… Read more →
Like the rest of the SL fashion set, my summer short is a great pixie cut courtesy of Tram. How are you guys liking Uber this round anyway? My favorite thing of all? New skin applier from Spirit. I don’t love the moles on the body appliers’ decolletage (available separately at their man store) and Madina comes with no makeup… Read more →
I mentioned I am soon off to London and then Paris. First for work; then for fun! I have to tell you, I am not particularly stressed about how dangerous it may be to travel these days (I mean, you gotta live your life!) but I am concerned about my ability to pack effectively. What I wear while roaming the… Read more →
I quickly browsed the wares at Uber this morning and at first I was like, “meh…” But looks can sometimes be deceiving – at least in this case. I probably walked away with more foundational staples than I have from any event in a while. Foundational staples meaning items I will use over and over (and I really will…I mean,… Read more →
Does anyone else follow Pantone’s “color of the year” ? They do such a good job of marketing but did you know they do this for seasons too? I happened to notice today as I was looking up paint colors, that one of my favorite colors – the one I normally refer to as “blush” – is actually “pale dogwood.”… Read more →
Today called for something a bit undone. Natural, comfortable and casual; like when everything isn’t firing on all cylinders but is quite happy to be like that. I know I have been MIA this past week or so, but I go through spurts of being inspired and then completely bored by SL fashion. It only takes one small thing to… Read more →
Full Harajuku style isn’t something I play with often, but I do love to “Gillianize” trends to make them suit me personally. Have you seen Baiastice’s new Tattoo dress? It has koi on it. I love it, and especially the bright, urban colors and sheer arms and bodice. OK I “Gillianized” the look a bit – a lot, as I… Read more →
Exquisite. This dress from Dead Dollz just whispers exquisite, delicate. You can wear it with a full gown base or with a bodysuit, letting the lace really stand out. The back is delightfully detailed and sexy; the front, demure or risque. It’s billed as a bridal gown, but seeing as that isn’t something in my plans atm, not every gown… Read more →
I’m wearing winter whites today, inspired by a breathtakingly cold day in Boston. I needed something to inspire some warmth, ok? In addition to my whites, I hit up Tram yesterday for FLF and found a great sale I had no idea about -_-. Most fatpacks are deeply discounted. I feasted on that for sure but I did note how… Read more →
What a difference a year makes! Another year nearly came and went without the list of what was, but luckily I made it just in the nick of time. Here’s my short, opinionated take on things I loved and things I could do without in the New Year Some of my most favorite things from 2016 in SL Milan appliers… Read more →
“You pays your money…and you takes your chances.” That old idiom is Second Life’s Luxe Box in a nutshell. The unboxing is especially fun IMO, but you do have to be OK with the roll of the dice so to speak. And then, not complain about what you get because that is the game. You Pays Your Money and You… Read more →
I regularly collect and recommend most skins and appliers from Belleza. Shyla creates such a distinct style across all her faces, and consistently offers some of the most beautiful on the grid, IMO. The new “Jordan” applier is no exception. With full options for eyebrows, lips and eye make-ups, as well as blush and freckles, she is stunning. I am… Read more →
Layering in the summer is almost unheard of. But, it can be done. It can even be done in Second Life, where it’s significantly harder to layer effectively due to meshes and sizing. For regular readers, if you saw this pleated skirt from Tetra @Uber, you had to know I was going to go nuts for it. Indeed, it’s like… Read more →
Here in Boston, Summer just bodyslammed us. Until now we’ve had a hot day here and there, but mostly just nice, warm summer days. When the heat is on, it makes dressing comfortably more difficult, so I turn to simple sheath dresses as my go-to. Like this one from NuDoLu at The Seasons Story. Trinity from LAQ Yes, I am… Read more →
