Well hello there. I am back from London – but with a very nasty flu. To remedy? Well of course, I put on a laced body suit and heels in Second Life. It seemed like that best thing to do given the circumstances. I’ll note that this bodysuit actually fits my Isis body and so wearing this new skin applier… Read more →
What’s your view on white after Labor Day? To me it makes no difference. White trousers – jeans especially – are part of my RL personal “uniform” literally all year round. I call it After White. <3 This is the blouse I mentioned here from spectacledchic and what prompted me to seek out what else this brand might have for… Read more →
I always have to remind myself to take time out. Or take A time out. Or whatever the directive is to stop (collaborate…) and just be still. This week in Nashville reminded me to do that. It was heavenly honestly. I just returned from visiting my new horse for the first time (it’s a long story; he is a rescue).… Read more →
It’s been a while since I wore a Catwa head. I always *want* to but it’s like iPhone vs. Android. You are generally either one or the other. The skin that got me to give my Catya head another try? Radija from Studio Exposure. This creator has long made my absolute most favorite makeups (so much so that they have… Read more →
I am loving the newest Powder Pack for LeLutka. So far, everything that I have tried is absolutely going into my top folders for LeLutka heads. The makeups, the eyes, the freckles. Girllll, it’s one of the things I look forward to the most in Second Life beauty. There are several skins in the May Powder Pack release – including… Read more →
I put together a casual winter look made up of some simple, but standout separates. We had our first snow in Boston this weekend, so it seemed apropos to dress with that in mind. Incidentally, the very first snow I saw this season was in Austin last week. Yes, Texas y’all. It never snows there! WTF? I actually got stuck… Read more →
For this shopping Saturday, I am focused on my color crush once again. Second only to navy blue, dusty rose is a staple for me – and truly forms a large swath of my wardrobe IRL (and as you know, in SL too). I love that you can style it like any neutral so I went with some rich browns,… Read more →
I visited the Arcade like I always do (grumbling slightly but still…I went) and I TP’d away scratching my real and virtual head about a few of the displays there. So riddle me this: Why would creators put out gacha content that is so wildly unrelated, it’s almost…trollish? Here, have some coffee with your … mesh head? Like, “oh you… Read more →
With sincere apologies to all my real French friends and readers, I say oui! To my favorite city in the world; to my fashion dreams; and to all the adventures I hope to have this week in Paris! I am wearing some of my favorite new pieces that I thought came together for a fun, “fake French” look on my… Read more →
This may be the easiest styling I’ve ever done. This hot bodysuit is by Fashionably Dead @Collabor88. Very simple, very classic, and great for layering. But not today. Today the bodysuit comes out from under all the things I usually cover them up with. In other news, I am pretty thrilled with so many great hairs out and about. Like… Read more →
Please spare me any more renditions of laced “gladiator” sandals and “rompers” this season, if possible. I know these seem to be super popular in SL but … there are seriously 30+ different versions out right now and I cannot figure out why? How did I miss the origins of these two polar opposite trends that appear only in Second… Read more →
I am hitting the refresh button today. Taking a fresh look at what’s in my inventory and where the holes are. In particular, I am looking at ever-popular Second Life subscription “boxes” like Luxe Box (FD: the only one I participate in) and others. Is Second Life moving farther and farther away from a la carte to mostly event/themed/packaged shopping?… Read more →
I have so much in my inventory I am keen to blog at some point, but today, I am crushing on some blues. Subtle blue accents that stand out against a very pale outfit. I admit that I am having trouble switching out of my LeLutka Simone head. This time, I am experimenting with the beautiful bushy eyebrows from the… Read more →
There’s something to be said for a minimalist Friday, particularly at the end of an exhausting work week AND a major blizzard. Oy. My minimalist Friday includes a simple chignon from Tableau Vivant. Hello, my beautiful bow. You should be named Gillian. However your name is “Bow updo.” /rekt Cozy Comfort Coupled with a cozy, comfortable sweater and structured tweed… 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 →
