Elate is back with a newly released mesh blazer! I made a retro-inspired outfit based around the blazer, and I just love it. The Navy colored looks like denim, so I paired it with denim jeans and a vibrant printed top underneath.

Exile – Rumour Has It (Vanilla)
Elate – Natalia Blazer (Navy)
Blowpop – Three Goddesses Print Tank

I don’t consider myself an SL hoarder but there are a couple of things I just can’t delete. One of them being Last Call items, even though one of my close friends told me that she deleted her entire collection already *sobs!*
They’re getting dated, but I’m still fond of them. Do I keep hoarding it or donate it to someone that will love it more?

I’ve been playing Once Human quite a bit with my friends lately, and it’s really opened my eyes to what makes Second Life so special. While there are definitely aspects of Once Human that Second Life could learn from, like implementing log-in and engagement rewards, here are some key things I genuinely appreciate about Second Life:
As a first-timer in the post-apocalyptic MMO world, I was shocked to discover that changing my appearance comes at a cost—tokens! The grind is real, but playing with the right friends makes it wildly addictive.
Right now, I’m taking a breather to try on some adorable items from the new round of Anthology. It’s still Spooktober, and I’m totally obsessed with the Broken Doll Joints overlay set from Badwill. I snapped two photos—one with the cracks and one without—and layered them in Photoshop. Afterward, I erased parts of the cracks that I didn’t want to keep. It would be amazing if there were options to mix and match the cracks across my body! I’ve never seen a broken porcelain doll tattoo before, so I was thrilled to rock this look.
Today, I’m wearing the Paige dress from Seeker, which comes with a HUD featuring fall prints and solid colors. I can even customize the dress, straps, pockets, and metal buttons! And I’m always on the lookout for the perfect pair of loafers, and the Mood Loafers from Cheezu is so well made and it looks like it’s in PBR. They come with a HUD for changing the color of the shoes, soles, and socks—so stylish!

I’m re-decorating! I still haven’t found a cottage that I like as much as my current one (that’s a few years old), but I’m hoping that the upcoming Home & Garden Expo will have something that updated that I’ll like! HINT: I like cheerful small beach cottages with two rooms, and a porch.
I rarely ever change my decor once I have something set, just so that it feels more like “home” and not a different space every time. Do you change your decor often, or does it stay the same? Let me know in the comments!
Today I am wearing the new Saloon Dress from Fishy Strawberry. This dress comes in two versions (sleeves & no sleeves) and a HUD to change frills texture. What I like about this dress is that it gives great cleavage, and the style is adorable!!
What I’m Wearing:
Eater’s Coma – Hair 39 (Pink)
Fishy Strawberry – Saloon Dress (Blue)

DP**YumYum** IttyBunny doll, so cute! I remember telling a couple of people that these dolls remind me of the popular Blythe dolls in real life. Don’t ask me about BLYTHE dolls unless you want a really long monologue about my collection. LOVE them.
Color choice is incredibly important. The right colored item can draw shopper’s eyes from across the room. It can make a person go from merely considering a purchase to pulling the trigger on the transaction. A shop can make the most beautiful mesh on the grid, but if the color selection isn’t on point, shoppers can overlook it.
Every season experts from the Pantone Institute, whose expertise crosses an incredible breadth of fields, decide what the Pantone Color Forecast will be. This palette informs designers, from fashion to interiors to graphics, on what colors everyone will be embracing in the coming months and years. It is a trendsetter from which everyone can take new color queues.
Color palettes may not seem that important, but they help to unify the color story of a season across all brands and media. If a store falls out of step with the color story, their items stop matching up with other brands. This can become problematic for shoppers. A shopper might find the perfect purple dress, but no matter where they go, they cannot find any accessories to match. Why? Well perhaps the dress designer is offering a greyed out purple while many other designers have embraced the more red based purple that is part of the new color story. Unified color stories are why shoppers can go to many different stores and still manage to find items that work well together.
But, matching isn’t the only dilemma that can arise from failing to follow color trends. Sometimes picking colors from palettes several seasons ago can result in an outdated look, even if the mesh is spectacular. People unconsciously associate colors which have gone out of trend with dated looks. Missing a color trend change can make a collection less appealing.
Why do we need our colors to change? Well, cycling through different variations of each color keeps our palettes fresh. If everyone has been using a very greyed out purple and all the sudden creators re-introduce a red based purple, shoppers will find the difference refreshing. This new purple is different from the purple of the past few years. It all the sudden has a freshness to it. Yes, that purple has always been in existence, but we have not seen it in a good while, so it has regained its appeal. This cross-industry rotation of colors is important in keeping colors fresh and exciting to our eyes.
Following color trends is by no means an imperative, but it can really help the appeal of creator’s lines. It can keep designs looking fresh and current, and keep shoppers buzzing about them. I know I always get excited when I find an item in the perfect color that I didn’t even know I was longing for. Color trends are what keep us loving color, and keep us excited about what will come next.

Hey GoGo,
I adore your blog….question for you. What is the exact number on the Maitreya jeans your are wearing in this pic? I bought the number 5 thinking they were the darkest but they don’t look nearly as dark as in your pic.
I would love to know…thanks
