You’re all aware that Hair Fair starts THIS WEEKEND. And, with all the releases, you’re going to want to schedule a significant chunk of time to demo before you buy. Like last year, Hair Fair organizers are opening an in-world group for members to receive ALL demos one full day in advance – so when the sims open to the… 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 →
In case I don’t get back to the computer tomorrow, here’s my long weekend look to love. It’s Memorial Day weekend in the US and I plan to enjoy some time at the beach with family. Monday is a bonus day off! The items in my post that are new all happen to be accessories – hair, nails, eyeliner and… Read more →
One noticeable absence for me at this year’s Skin Fair was Glam Affair. I have always looked forward to Ada’s special releases this time of year so if you’re jonesing for some perfect complexion Glam Affair goodness, unfortunately you won’t find it at Skin Fair. BUT… …You can find Glam Affair newness at Collabor88! I find it very hard to… Read more →
I avoided the Valentine’s Day craziness \o/ . I did that intentionally. It’s decidedly not my thing. Much more my thing? Mixing red and peach. I know, it’s not an obvious pairing but check it…this coat from Pixicat is amazing. Swipe right —> xoxo Read more →
This is Diana, the second Bento mesh head launched from Vista. Diana is the second offering that I like, which means Vista is batting 1000 for me. Even better is the promotion Vista has running: if you purchased and upgraded your Lia head to version 3.0, you can get her for $1000. I mean, yes please! I feel like Vista… Read more →
Thanks, Uber creators, inspiration found. The list of my haul from Uber is long. And, the list is led by Rowne, which put out a beautiful sheer lace wrap dress and bralette/briefs combo that is exactly what I needed in my SL closet to wake up my inspiration senses. The only part of Uber that doesn’t make the list? The… Read more →
This “prairie style” look from sYs made me nostalgic for my old Gunne Sax dresses from early childhood (does anyone else remember those?). They were sort of a mix between Laura Ingalls and Laura Ashley, so this ensemble is a much more modern take on the easy, comfortable “prairie style.” But regardless of what you call it, can we agree… Read more →
It’s been so cool in the mornings that I’ve been wearing light sweaters every day until about lunch time. But I love it, in both lives! This great hat from SAGA came from a new (I think?) event, and I felt like it was a real diamond in the rough there. Super cute and it made me glad I checked… Read more →
I met my match with this new skin applier from The Skinnery. I’m wearing Alix in the new Sorbet tone, which also means new Maitreya body appliers are available too. I love the “tummy” option on the new body appliers (each one is sold individually). Keep in mind, you can still use your old body appliers on previous skin tones… Read more →
This is my RBF. Yes, Resting Bitch Face. But it doesn’t have to be, as you probably know if you have been following the release of the new Bento head from LAQ. In typical Gillian style though, I really have to let new animations grow on me. Sometimes they never do. Or sometimes they become as core to the head… Read more →
I’m making a case for champagne with this dress from Azul. I have never worn inventory from this creator before, and the Zaria dress is unique, with bell sleeves and a satin overlay bodice. Very, very pretty and so fun to style. It also comes with flexi parts (not shown). I remember when flexi came to the grid (yes, my… Read more →
I was messing around with shapes as I tried on the new mesh head from LeLutka this weekend. It got me thinking about my shape and how it has changed – or hasn’t changed, as it were. At the end of the day, however I present my avatar in Second Life, it is version of me that I choose to… Read more →
As the snow continues to fall here in Boston, I sit quietly listening to Joni Mitchell. You know the song from Love Actually, where Emma Thompson’s character unwraps a Christmas gift from her husband, and it’s not the necklace she saw him buy? That went to his secretary -_- I have always loved the song Both Sides Now so very… Read more →
Shiny Shabby opened to much fanfare once again. For me, this event is usually worth it in every way. It’s so well done, I could wander the streets for much longer than my shopping requires. I have so much to blog from the event, but I’m not one to blog everything at once, so above, I am actually only wearing… Read more →
