Feeling Frosty…and Freckled!

Feeling Frosty…and Freckled!

I actually put this look together several days ago.  Launa Fauna had just released her new skin line, Lapine, under her new brand name, L. Fauna, and I was in the mood for something comfy and casual.  The holidays, however, creeped up on me and I was left with no time to blog. I wanted [...]

LOTD: 28 Nov 09

LOTD: 28 Nov 09

Today’s look is a mix of old and new pieces from some of my favorite tried-and-true designers. I wanted to put together something casual and very “me.” I love this new cardigan from Artilleri so much I had to have the fatpack, and while I was there, I cleaned out the entire display of glasses. [...]

Skin Fair: GeEs Design

Skin Fair: GeEs Design

When it comes to skins, I’m not a huge shape tweaker. That’s probably why I stick to Exodi and 5th & Oxford most of the time. It’s pretty much a given that any skin from either of these two brands will fit my shape without any modification. And, that’s probably why I liked the skins [...]

Ain’t Miss-behavin’…Well, Maybe A Little

Ain’t Miss-behavin’…Well, Maybe A Little

Fifth and Oxford, the brainchild of Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot, recently released the Little Miss Collection. This fun and flirty line features skins, lingerie, slips, and accessories that are at once the picture of doe-eyed innocence and pin-up smolder. I love the smoky eyes and full lips that are expertly drawn, just as we’ve [...]

Cocktail Hour

Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot of 5th & Oxford have released their Summer Cocktails collection.  I’ve always known CJ was a gifted builder – each incarnation of their main store on Nouveau is a testament to his skills – but the bar set they have created is exceptionally designed and loaded with details.  The glasses [...]

Look of the Day 08.23.09

Look of the Day 08.23.09

This should actually be dated 08.15.09, because I’ve been wearing it…changing out pieces and parts here and there…since I picked up the dress and poses during last week’s 50L Friday. I have a few pieces from Whippet & Buck, but this dress caught my eye almost as soon as I rezzed.  Penny Dreadful Arcade is [...]

Sneak Peak: Lily by ::Exodi::

Sneak Peak: Lily by ::Exodi::

Lily, the latest of Ryker Beck’s skin collections at Exodi, should be released sometime in the next week or so, but I couldn’t wait.  You see, a couple of weeks ago, Ryker sent me a prototype of this fantastic skin to try on.  To say I fell in love instantly would be a gross understatement.  [...]

I See The Moon & The Moon Sees Me

I See The Moon & The Moon Sees Me

I’ve recently become reacquainted with Moonshine.  No, I haven’t taken to distilling my own liquor, but I have rediscovered my fondness for Shelly Toonie’s designs.  I have an alt (shhh…don’t tell) whose inventory consists predominantly of Moonshine clothing, yet I have only a few pieces on my main account.  So, I was delighted when Shelly, [...]

Blogger Challenge: How Low Can You Go?

Blogger Challenge: How Low Can You Go?

Isle Lunesea posted on her blog about how we can all do our part to reduce lag at crowded events, hunts and expos by choosing wearables that contribute to a low ARC or Avatar Rendering Cost.  So she challenged bloggers to come up with attractive, low-ARC outfits…under 100 ARC to be exact.  I really pushed [...]
