This is the newly released Irene skin from Imagen, and it comes with a light dusting of lovely freckles and tons of makeups ranging from sweet and natural to bright and eye-catching. I am wearing the Irene (Este tone) in Natural Rose makeup and it goes perfectly with red hair.
I’m decorating for the holidays in SL with items from The Arcade. I adore this Girl Soldier Outfit from BCC! My friend Caroline found this at a yard sale for me, and it’s definitely my favorite clothing item from this round The Arcade. The dress is a common item, so it should be easy to find at the yard sales!
Did you get everything you wanted from The Arcade? Did you play the gacha machines, or mostly shopped the yard sales? Let me know in the comments!
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Rowne – Freja
BCC – My Lovely Prince (Girl Soldier Outfit)
Erratic – Eva Holiday Socks – pink hearts (MID)
Ingenue – Pickford Heels (Ivory)

Decors from Lark, Tres Blah, Mud Honey
Let’s talk about the little details you can add to your skin to make your Second Life avatar feel more realistic. Back in the day, I couldn’t stand imperfections. Every skin I wore had to be flawless. No wrinkles, no freckles, nothing. I still don’t want freckles, but I’ve come around to appreciating a few imperfections. Right now, I’m obsessed with layering Izzie’s Body and Face Veins over my skin, along with her Feet Veins and Toe Creases. I didn’t go heavy on the face, just a few veins around the eyes. I also added Neck Creases, which I never liked before, but suddenly I’m into this week.
I also switched my Glam Affair skin two shades lighter, from L005 to L003. I wanted to stick with L005, but the face shading was way too dark, and there’s no way I’m layering dozens of Izzie’s fixes just to correct something that shouldn’t need fixing. L003 is lighter overall, and that means the shading is softer too, which works out much better.
Even though everything I wear is available to everyone and nothing is made just for me, I still feel one of a kind. No one else is going to make every single choice I make, and that’s what makes your avatar unique. It really does come down to the details if you want to stand out.
Are you counting down with me? Only four more days until Blackout August is over. Rejoice!
On The Cover pose shop is back with a brand new build, new location and new poses!! I'm featuring two new standing poses, they're sweet & full of personality.
The new On The Cover – Sit Pose Cube features 5 poses. The pose cubes from OTC are my favorites because they're so much fun to cycle through using the menu.
New face skin! I’m wearing the new Briar skin from Amara Beauty. I haven’t been wearing Amara much since I switched to non-Velour body skin tones. Amara right now only creates skins for Velour tones, which makes it hard to match with whatever body skin I’m wearing. At the moment I’m wearing Session body skins, which only comes in four tones. It wasn’t easy to match, but I think I made it work.
I like this face so much, it’s nearly perfect. I added a few of Izzie’s face tattoo fixes, but other than that the skin looks great right out of the box. If you like a face with defined features and a polished look, this one’s for you.
I’ve also been wanting to blog about the Belle Epoque Reopening Hunt since August, and I finally got around to it now. You have until September 30 to check it out and grab 22 items for L$10 each. I love this dress so much, and I already own it in another color. The hair I’m wearing is a free gift from Wings. If you’re like me, you love a good freebie and mixing it with paid items.
Now that Autumn’s here, I’m so excited to bring out all of my cardigans and sweaters. This beautiful Maple Cradi from Orphic even has a built-in hand pose, which I usually avoid, but here it’s cute and it works. You can find it at this month’s Anthology event.
It was SLove at first sight when I saw a teaser picture of this Laqroki Aline skin. Even though I really tried to wear this skin with Blonde hair, it just wouldn’t have done the skin justice. Like many Laqroki fans, I’m sure we’re all waiting for Mallory to release brows on a tattoo layer! *hint hint* 😛
There are 10 makeups per skin tone, and brown hair base is included. I *love* lighter makeups in this set, they’re just so natural and beautiful.
Here’s a close-up of one of my favorite makeups! So colorful and tropical! <3
The Cutie Moon Fair opens on April 1st — inspired by Sailor Moon, of course. If you’re a fan, you can now squee! This may reveal that I’m a 90’s kid, but I use to watch Sailor Moon when it was on television. Did you ever watch Sailor Moon?
I didn’t get a close-up of these fabulous Tabitha shoes by KoiKoi, but they’re so gorgeous. These are the highest pair of high heels that I’ve ever worn in SL, so I’m a bit excited about that.
