LeeZu released these amazing new Yve Pants that has a sculpted belt, and sculpted leg prims. I think these pants are nearly perfect, the leg prims & pants meets seamlessly, and they end right before the knee joint so it’s perfect for AOs & works with many different poses! I had to lower my hips saddle, and butt size just a tad to have a better fit, cos I wanted the belt to be snug around my avatar.
Although these are not board shorts, I paired it with a cute little bikini top from BOOM and and wore it to the beach! These are so many ways to style these pants, as they come in a variety of prints & solid colors.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Bethany (Swedish)
BOOM – Infinity Pin Stripe Bikini (White)
LeeZu – Yve Pants (Vintage Blue)
Elate – Theia Sandals (Ivory)

What Next – Surf’s Up Pose Set (Surfboard)
Jessyca is the newest skin from Unique Megastore, and it is even cuter than the last. I think this face is so cute and young, and adorable!! I think the lips are just plump and juicy with just the right touch of lipgloss.
This Jessyca skin has 12 makeups, sexy breasts option, hair base and a few open mouth skins (with teeth) skins.
Summer may be over, but a tan healthy glow is always in! If you want Jessyca, visit Unique Megastore.
Happy New Year! I think the future of Second Life skins is leaning into more textured looks, which adds to realism. I don’t usually love textured skins, but they do look so much more realistic than the smooth, flat skin we’re used to. That shift is really obvious with this new Madeline skin from Glam Affair. It’s very textured and very freckled, and while that isn’t normally my preference, I ended up loving it. I did tone it down a little with a few of Izzie’s tattoo fixes, which helped balance everything out.
That move toward texture feels closely tied to PBR, which is now being added not just to environments but to avatars as well. Because of that, I expect skins to keep changing in 2026, adding more depth in ways that make our avatars look more real and less flat. Even though PBR has some interesting moments, I still think it’s unfortunately a turn off for a lot of current residents. Change is difficult, especially when you’ve been around long enough to remember how things looked before. Maybe newer residents, who don’t have that comparison, will like it more.
All of this ties into the bigger picture of where Second Life is right now. When I decided to close my region at the end of 2024, I had a strong feeling that 2025 was going to be a difficult year in real life, and that it made sense to pull back spending in Second Life. I’m glad I stuck to that decision all year and didn’t bring the region back, even though I wanted to at least a dozen times. I also won’t be bringing it back in 2026 because of the economy, both in Second Life and in real life. There isn’t a lot of growth yet, and it feels like the Lindens are panicking.
I recently watched a snippet of an interview with Brett Linden on MetaRealities’ YouTube channel, and what really stood out to me was how much growth is needed for survival. Needed. Not just for Second Life as a company, but for the creators who make a living here. You can only get so much out of the current residents, which is why attracting new people feels so urgent right now.
So I’m ending one year and starting the next in a much calmer mindset. I rang in the New Year in this cozy Eboshi pajamas set from Aurun at Anthology. Comfort and chill is the vibe I’m going for this holiday season, so I paired them with the Not Tired Bow Slips from The Kiwi Co.
I’ve been dying to blog this adorable new AOHARU Poncho Cardigan for about a week now, but I couldn’t wear the shoes I wanted with it so I had a fashion block and couldn’t move forward.
The ANEXX KnitLegwarmers boots would have been so perfect with this poncho, but unfortunately, the invisiprims is visible when shadows is enabled. I’m really crossing my fingers that Machang and other amazing shoe creators revisit their past designs and update them for 2.0. I have so many gorgeous shoes I can’t wear cos they’re not updated with alpha layer option.
I’m pairing the Poncho Cardigan with my favorite jeans in all of SL – the Decoy Dana 76 Jeans (seriously, I wear these jeans too much) because they’re so fantastic! I prefer jeans with skinny cuffs and these come come with Bootcut, Skinny, and Skinny Flats (perfect for shorter avatars).
My outfit may seem a little bit too early for October but I really dig the whole look! It’s never too early for Deer Antlers from AddiCt(only at CFC and Jewelry Fair for now)! Somewhere in the world it’s freezing cold and this outfit is totally appropriate!
It’s rare that I stumble into a store for the first time and just know that they’ll be one of the most beloved brands on the grid, if they aren’t already. I felt this way at Spellbound today. The store’s decor matches the brand name, the vendor ads are appealing, and the hair packs are sold inside cute bottles of potion! I only wear a small handful of favorite hair brands, but I can already tell you that Spellbound is at the top of my short list.
Pink Fuel Skin
Spellbound – Junko (Natural Ombres & Dips)
Spellbound – Fckn Cute cookie Necklace (Pink/Yellow)
Teefy – Gianna Off Shoulder Top (M) White
Monso – My First Jeans – Deep Blue (size2/ S)
Laqroki has just released the Carina Glow skins and I’m in love!!!! The face is SO cute on these, and the update made it a lil more mature looking than the original version but it’s still very youthful. I wore the original Carina for a long time and I’m so thrilled to see MORE makeups, and a totally updated body and ‘glow’ treatment added. The Carina Glow comes in 8 makeups and includes bald base.
To show you the body, I’m using two of the Glitteari & SiSSi Pearls set which comes with 6 different poses and 6 sets of pearls customized for each pose. This is so sexy, I predict we’ll be seeing it everywhere.
If you have these pants, you’ll know exactly why it was necessary. The shape of the belt is smaller at the top and flares out at the bottom. If i wanted it to fit the bottom, the top would be loose, so it was easier to pull the saddle in a bit, rather than not have a better fit.
That’s pretty! 😀
“I had to lower my hips saddle, and butt size just a tad to have a better fit”
I caught the hint there. LOL
Why all the avatar plastic surgery lol
Why not edit the belt xD?
